      Like genuinely,

      If there are Epstein tapes, with video evidence of Musk or Trump or Prince Harry (or Gates or Soros or whoever) having sex with children, will there be any consequences?

        As in for everyone? As these kid diddling failups squirm and concede ground to an obvious kleptocratic fascist?

        Yes absolutely.

        As in for them personally when the tapes are released?

        No, not particularly.

          It’s possible because if Putin releases his compromat, he’s also pulling his protections, so anyone that steps in line to defend that person because Putin is still using them either won’t say anything or will be right there with the ones that want them to face justice.

          With the added bonus that taking that position will make it even more devastating for them if Putin later decides he wants to release their compromat.

        You should go educate yourself on how chomos and those with violent offenses against women are treated in prison, and then report back.

          Chomos in gen pop get hurt, although I’m not sure why I would be content with vigilante prison “Justice”. But Trump or Prince Harry wouldn’t be placed with the general rabble, even in the unlikely event they ever face any form of punishment.

            You asked if there would be any consequences in the face of proof that Donald Trump or anyone else was committing sex crimes against minors. That is why I gave the reference I did.

            Let’s wait and see what happens with Diddy. I am confident he will be hanging from the top bunk just like Jeffrey Epstein long before he exposes any other powerful people who were involved with his sex crime syndicate.

            Once you give up the game, or bring exposure to it you are promptly liquidated.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin had his own similar operation, only using state-level power instead of just money to recruit girls who could take the driver’s seat and bring unsuspecting Johns back to hotel rooms rigged up with cameras anywhere in the world instead of needing to do it all on an island or at his home address.

      Followed later by threats of releasing the footage (stick) vs promises for more similar episodes (carrot), though with the understanding that those carrots will be used as more sticks if they don’t cooperate.

      I think about that scene in Borat 2 where Rudy Giuliani clearly thinks the interview is really about sex and proceeds without a second thought about the camera. I also think about how he completely imploded his career, reputation, and maybe life by fighting a legal battle he knew had no merit (and maybe even deliberately sabotaged because, while he liked the sex, he might have actually had qualms about enabling a Trump coup… Like four seasons landscaping, seriously? Not knowing basic court procedures after his career was based on prosecuting the Italian mafia?).

      Just a hunch anyways, probably nothing.

      Edit: wording

          Oops, I forgot to mention that the women are actually underaged, which isn’t revealed until after the deed is done and could even involve giving someone who is of age paperwork making it seem like they are underaged or even just lies without paperwork.

          Or another angle is you might be married and the threat is to ruin your marriage and expose you as a cheater (which can also ruin personal and professional relationships outside of your marriage).
