What's the deal with women waiting over 30 years to announce stuff like this? Should have been more like 30 seconds to maybe 30 minutes.
Conveniently before an election no less...
How about you don't try to dictate how sexual assault victims "should" act?
It's called a statute of limitations. Look it up.
I mean, this is a question you definitely know the answer to, or could figure out in roughly one second, if you weren't making a public stand of refusing to know it.
No one is capable of forcing you to drop the charade.
I have nothing for the orange diaper baby. Still, assuming he groped a woman over 30 years ago, why wait until now to speak up?

Enormous pressure to keep quiet. It's nearly a cartel, speaking out at the wrong time will ruin your career and/or life.
Trump was literally quoted back in 2005 for saying "Grab them by the pussy"

So again I ask, why have these women waited so damn long to speak up?
Wait, you read the article?
But how are you supposed to jump to unreasonable conclusions now? /s
They can speak up whenever the fuck they want.
Never heard of the statute of limitations have you?

It's 3 years in my state, fuckall with that 30+ year wait, that shit don't fly here.
Why are you defending a known rapist and Epstein client?
Not defending them at all. They can both go to hell as far as I care.
Statute of limitations is irrelevant, there's no legal proceeding here.
Never heard of 1st amendment? There is no limitation on speaking up.
Legal ≠ equal to moral or ethical.
Also doesn't equal evidence, though I don't doubt the woman for even a second.
