There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

The sons and daughters of our country fighting wars old men have started, sometimes for nobel reasons, sometimes for utterly stupid reasons.
TrumpCo.has raised war profiteering to an alarming level, though, but I imagine they'll get away with every bit of it. No republicans have shown signs they're bothered by it at all. However, if a Democrat had done 1% of TrumpCo's illegal activity they'd bring the country to a halt (which they've pretty much done already, but not because they're alarmed at anything Trump has done).

It's our little girl's and children's bodies that they monetize too. That's what the Epstein class sex trafficking was all about.

We are just bodies to be used by the filthy-rich. At least that's what the filthy-rich and MAGA think.

Porn sharing over the internet has created an explosion of possibilities. Crypto has created an untraceable monetization for it all. It hasn't slowed down. It's expanding exponentially.

Now, we have the broader issue of "sleep porn" and the drug-facilitated rapes broadcast with online platforms.

Abusers recruit victims and share footage through chatrooms dedicated to non-consensual sexual acts, like the now-closed French forum "à son insu" (without her knowledge), where these perpetrators shared how to instructions and footage of their "sleep porn" with other perpetrators.

It has been discovered in at least three other countries that I'm aware of according to law enforcement reports. I'm sure there are many, many more examples that we don't know about.

The Epstein Class is a living, thriving entity and unfortunately shows no signs of dying but instead is quite well and making victims of us all.

The reason Cons are against Abortion has nothing to do with life affirmation.

They just want more Cannon Fodder for their Gunz.
