Hey Aanirfan/Aangirfan, please keep exposing Trump, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThere's this recent interview that has interesting information about Epstein and Trump.

They also noted that Trump seems to be getting a pass on his background.
And what happens when male-me talks, if ever, to a young girl? Young woman even. A stranger or thereabouts. What cannot but go shuddering through me – as though – I might be, 'suspicious'? When does exposing the epidemic of abuse backfire and have us soaking up the controllers, fear-bringing dreams? The scandal of scandals in society is sex abuse. Few caught, compared to many escaping but one upshot – that has an overshot, spread the separation. Spread the hate. “We are but abusers”. This post is written to provoke? Are you saying? Or maybe..?

Just written a comment 21CW/about Icke, has me saying, we need ten thousand aangirfans. Comments on aangirfan. Action out of aangirfan. New expression like A…
