This kid is a cutie.

I smiled on seeing that smile. Someone loved that child so much. Look at the back ground details as well, that family had some money

That is a great collection of pictures. One thing the pictures make clear, Epstein/Trump sex trafficking isn't the biggest sex trafficking ring in the history of America. Slavery was the biggest. It amazes me to imagine the skin tone of the original kidnapped people and the level of light skin that shows up so very early. The attempted total genocide of native peoples and slavery are this nations original sins. To this day it has not been acknowledged. It makes me sick to my stomach on a regular basis.
