Unsurprisingly, they are friends and Trump has openly talked about Epstein liking them young. <br /><br />Anyone else in the race would be better positioned to attack Clinton on Epstein than Trump.<br /><br />At the top of the ticket there is no practical difference between either party this election.<br /><br />http://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2016/05/13/boom-bill-clinton-reportedly-took-at-least-26-trips-on-the-lolita-express-some-without-his-secret-service-detail/<br /><br />http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/<br /><br />Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-18994617639974154582016-05-17T10:32:40.013-04:002016-05-17T10:32:40.013-04:00Andrew,

My first dorm had a unisex bathrooms (all stalls) and showers (though the floors were gender specific). I never heard of any incidents related to those bathrooms and at small colleges people gossip about everything.

There are others things as well..The discontent in the GOP and the Democratic Party are indicators that "the people" don't trust them anymore.

Just some thoughts on recent releases.<br /><br />And I still maintain that the whole transgender thing is just moving way too fast, as if gay marriage advocates said, "Well, what's next on the list?"
