In Reply to: Megyn Kelly questions if Epstein was a pedophile posted by russsmith on November 13, 2025 at 09:34:52
and boy, is she working hard:
Technically, there are three shades of pedophilia out there. The true, technical term of pedophilia involves children who are in pre-puberty stage. Kids. No secondary sexual development yet (i.e., characteristics that are not directly related to reproduction).
Then there is another thing, whose name I'm too lazy to google right now, which involves children who are undergoing puberty, as they're just hitting the secondary sexual development stage.
Then there is the third kind that focuses on early puberty when the seondary sexual characteristics are not fully in adult form, but somewhere in between. This is your 12 to 15 range, I'm guessing. Technically it has another name, not pediophilia. It does however, qualify as pedophilia in the way we use the term colloqiually today.
You can see very clearly that Trump is not *technically* pedophiliac. He falls mostly around the early puberty/late puberty area, which technically has another name, which Kelly is really trying to convince herself, I suppose, that it can't be that bad.
So the rumors are true. She *is* interested in running for office.
BTW, I think we're going to start seeing this kind of hair splitting as it becomes harder and harder to ignore that Trump does not have his hands (or whatever) clean in this situation. I expect to hear arguments about how in the olden days people who are 12, 13, 14 were considered mature enough to marry and have children or how in some cultures child brides are not uncommon. That'll be the final stage of the "not true" > "it's incidental/trivial" > "not really as bad as you say it is" > "nothing wrong with it" transition that we go througfh with every despicable thing the powqers that be are engaged in from torture to, apparently, pedophilia.
