Very few have fallen farther, faster, than the now-infamous criminal defense lawyer and professor Alan Dershowitz. In a stunning example of the maxim that everything Trump touches dies, Dershowitz first ran into problems defending anything and everything Trump did during his first term, only to then also be prominently alleged to have engaged in child rape at one of Jeffrey Epstein’s homes. Indeed, the ever-vigilant and knowledgeable Dershowitz once claimed that he “only” got a massage from a young girl and “kept his underwear on” (See how that works from a criminal defense standpoint? Nothing illegal about a massage, and no penalty for exposing himself, nothing). Even his assertion is highly dubious and operates on the premise that it is perfectly normal for a grown man to get a massage from a teen girl. Nearly every grown man knows that one doesn’t approach a teen girl without her having a parent there. Evidently, with accusations that fierce, Epstein was left with few options. Now, Epstein – who still wants to live the good life- has even fewer.
Alan so loves Martha’s Vineyard that he must believe that he has a birthright to walk among the elite summering there. True, most of us would love to have the money to vacation in one of the nicest areas of the country, but most of us also understand that there are consequences for one’s decisions, especially the radical defense of both Trump and, by extension, Epstein. He has repeatedly complained that he’s not allowed in and among the many power players vacationing there and has recently made a huge deal about being refused service by a pierogi maker at the local farmers’ market. From a report in The Martha’s Vineyard Times: (Video below)
There were exclamations of support for Good Pierogi and a brief chant of “time to go!” during the confrontation. Eventually, farmers market manager Ethan Buchanan-Valenti intervened and asked Dershowitz to leave. Raucous applause followed after Dershowitz left. Outside of the interaction, there was an outpouring of support for the vendors, including one supporter who was dressed as an Epstein victim and held a sign with Epstein’s face on it.
There should be an extra-humid place in prison for child rapists (alleged) who claim anti-Semitism as the basis for refusal of service, as Dershowitz did, even though there’s nothing to indicate that he was refused service because he’s Jewish and every indication that it was based on his association with Trump and Epstein.
VENDOR: “I am very surprised that you’re here because of the things that you’ve been saying about us and the business online… I really do not appreciate what you’ve been sharing in the last week.”
DERSHOWITZ: “It’s true.”
VENDOR: “Is it true? You have proof that I am an anti-Semite?”
Never mind that the video shows people both supporting the vendor while claiming they had family killed in German concentration camps. See, Dershowitz wants his fcking pierogi and knows that there’s no constitutional mandate to sell them to alleged child rapists (Or teen massage receivers clad in underwear) or even rabid Donald Trump supporters. This is especially true on Martha’s Vineyard, where the latter might well be enough. Dersh would have far better luck trying to get hush puppies at a NASCAR race – though, that is where he might run into some anti-Semitism. Who knows? We know that the locals support the vendor:
Kirsten Stevenson, an Edgartown resident in line for pierogis on Wednesday, underscored that it was important to support local vendors, especially in this situation. “I think, in particular, the comments that they made on social media [were] really profound and important,” Stevenson said. “I was disappointed with what happened last week and I want to be here and support them.”
Yes, and support includes buying up fantastic pierogis. Half my family is of Polish-Ukrainian heritage, and my grandmother used to spend long hours on Sundays making pierogis, which I couldn’t quite figure out because I’d ask why we couldn’t just put cheese on French fries. Be that as it may, to the extent one is going to have pierogis, it is best to have them from a farmers’ market or from one’s grandmother, and apparently, Alan doesn’t have either option.
We used to think that it didn’t have to be this way, that Dershowitz had every right to refuse to defend Trump’s worst acts, but as the Epstein files rise to the surface, it does appear that Dershowitz’s interests more closely align with Trump’s than we might have otherwise thought.
You would think that a criminal defense attorney would know better. Of course, he always had the option of not committing crimes… allegedly, whether he had his underwear on or not.

Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. We work hard to get you analysis that you will not find in the mainstream media, but all media have been hit hard since the big companies have gobbled up and monopolized commentary. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula
Hey asshole…you got off easy…if you and your pedophile buddies involved my teenage daughters…well…enough said.
To ole Dersh I say ‘What did you expect? You hung out with human turds so of course you’re covered in sh*t. The kind that won’t ever wash off.’
