    It all makes sense to me now: The Grand Old Pedophiles were obsessed with Hunter Biden because, if he wasn’t in the Epstein files, he must’ve been into some real shit, right? Their minds just can’t process the idea that a powerful man would be satisfied with vanilla stuff like sex with consenting adults.

      No, I think they know they’re into the most depraved shit. It was just the now-classic projection: condemnation for sexual affairs. You think they haven’t done crack with adult Latinas before sinking to raping kids?

      They’re not the psychiatric definition of pedophiles, in the sense of mentally-ill people with anti-social paraphilias; they’re depraved monsters who know raping kids is some of the most illicit things they had yet to dabble in. It’s not sexual attraction to kids, it’s the rush of power from being able to break a taboo and get away with it.

        That’s exactly what I mean. They know they’re into the most depraved shit, and they like it because it’s a way to break taboos and demonstrate their power. (Power is the real paraphilia.) I feel like it’s literally incomprehensible to them that somebody with the connections and influence to do it (e.g. Hunter Biden), too, just… wouldn’t. Because of course everybody wants to! So if Biden wasn’t in Epstein’s orbit, it must have driven them mad wondering what he was doing that was so much better (by their taboo-breaking standards) than what they were doing.

    Not to mention, fully consenting Latinas! I know “not being a rapist” is a really low bar to clear, but for a wealthy, male, politically-connected American in 2026? Fantastic. Wonderful. Groundbreaking.
