    Remember that Alan Dershowitz likely murdered his wife and molested children with Epstein.

    Edit: Also, why does the lesser Cuomo look like a pirate?

      Alan Dershowitz likely murdered his wife

      Never heard that in my life.
      Sources?

      molested children with Epstein

      Agreed on that one.

      I wouldn’t listen to anything that pedophile cunt dershowitz says. He’s all over the Epstein flight logs, visited Epstein Island a bunch of times, then defended Epstein in court. Virginia Guiffre says he raped her on Epstein airplane. Dude is a pedophile who rapes kids, just like all his rich pedophile buddies who raped kids. Makes Harvard look like a place that protects pedophiles.

        But, to be fair, he’s also being interviewed by the brother of the guy who’s defending Bibi in court for war crimes and genocide. We have to accept their side of the argument as well. It’s not pedophilia if the girl went through puberty, and it’s not genocide if the other side burned your Reichstag building. (do I have to write /s on lemmy?)

    Oh man Dersh just continues to be the worst. Anyone who listens to the legal podcast Opening Arguments will have heard a lot about him.

    Reminder for anyone who missed the memo

    The late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claimed that she was forced to have sex with Dershowitz on Epstein’s private plane.

      While he denied the claim, he did admit to getting a massage while at Epstein’s house, although he stated that he kept his underwear on and did not enjoy it.

      I guess it’s only sexual abuse if you enjoy it…

      On a serious note, there is just no bottom to the depravity of the US ruling class, is there?

        None. They can and do get away with any evil, and their team will continue to cheer for them.

        I really don’t know what to do about it, don’t know that I can. But I’m coming home from vacation and plan on finding some local groups to join that I can support. I’m also a leader in our scout troop, so hopefully passing along better morals to some of our youth.

    What’s implied here, is, that there is direct evidence of trump having sex with minors. And enough people obviously know that it’s release is inevitable, they’re doing this tired labor of trying to redefine what a pedophile is or isn’t.

    Oh, man - when your defense has to boil down to “Yeah but sexually exploiting kids isn’t really that bad…”, you know you’re fucked.

      Dershowitz has made a career defending the indefensible.

      But worry not: there’s a special place in hell reserved for him already, and at his age, he’s probably starting to feel the flames lick his feet.

        No one is indefensible. Dershowitz sucks but not because he defended people who you don’t like. Everyone gets a fair trial or no one does. If the state can just accuse you of pedophilia and it’s too noxious to defend you, the state can do that to anyone, and all rights are out the window.

    Coming from this fucking scheister, that’s rich. Dershowitz himself is closely linked to Epstein and figures prominently in the files. Have those people no shame?

    If I was him, I’d go hide somewhere as far from the US as possible. Because if anyone is even more suspiciously a pedo than Trump in the Epstein files, that would be him. And yet here he is, running his disgusting mouth. Just unbelievable…

      *shyster* but your spelling is better.

      probably from German Scheisser, literally, defecator

      First Known Use 1844

      I thought it derived from the character Shylock but Webster’s says no. Also for anyone who doesn’t know, please note it also can be very Jew-hatey, so there’s that.

        And I thought it meant someone who operates a shy: a carnival attraction where you throw things at various kinds of targets in order to win a prize. The shy is one of the archetypal rigged games.

        But I’m sure the dictionary compilers must know better than a yob like me.

        Scheister is an accepted spelling. It’s also a lot more about shit lawyers than about shit jews than shyster, which is why I always prefer using it. It’s also a lot more about shit than shyness if you speak German and derivatives, which is also more in line with what I think of lawyers.

          Scheister is an accepted spelling.

          Not on the interwebs I can see, but would be curious to find the source for that. All the results I get back just spell it the other way.

                Well, even if it’s incorrect, I’ll use it. One of the powers of the English language is that you can mold it to your liking and it’s a-okay as long as other people understand you. And if Shakespeare can invent 1,600 words, surely I can invent a few myself 😜

    This last ditch excuse ignores that even if it’s technically a different label, it’s still illegaland horrendously wrong
