86. I think Eric should resign immediately

Though am surprised how well trained Democrats are. In 2016-2019, I was posting about trump and Epstein and got crickets for an audience.

I was labeled a conspiracy theorist then and chased off forums.

A Democrat and accusations and it is a national emergency, especially in one of the cases involving alcohol, not abuse of children. Why no national emergencies involving young women and alcohol and abuse at colleges. Nothing, way more abuse there and no national emergency.

Believe the victim. Have Eric resign immediately, though when it is a Republican commiting violent sex crimes against women, it is a conspiracy theory, unproven. A Democrat gets accused and there is blood in the water and a national emergency.

trump could rape a person on 5th Ave and the corporate media van would drive by it on the way to cover Eric in California.
