Child sex crimes are rampant. “A wake-up call.”

Multiple agencies worked together on Operation Nutcracker, which netted seven men who were ready to pay for sex with a child, according to charging documents.

1. And we have GOP working to lower ages of "consent". Children consent to nothing. Slaves consent to nothing.

2. In the meantime we have a government that is doing its damnedest to cover up

what might have been the biggest child sex trafficking ring ever. The bust described in the OP involved a bunch of lowlife pervs, not of the same "class" as Epstein and his wealthy pals. It has been said that there are only two classes: Those whom the law binds but does not protect, and those whom the law protects but does not bind; these seven creeps will go to prison, as they should, but Epstein's creeps are of the latter class. Nothing will happen to them, and they and others like them will just keep doing what they've been doing.
