All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it’s more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

    As I said elsewhere, pedo cabals are a founding, fundamental issue of MAGA politics. It’s the movement’s foundation.

    Nothing else Trump (or big billionaires) do will ever punch through the conservative media ecosystem, but Epstein is like backdoor. A “hack.” It’s the only issue that can get through the noise, and that’s why it’s so important it to hammer it every other breath.

      Billy Big D is very implicated too… this is way deeper than MAGA, it’s part of the daily life of the American political and otherwise powerful classes and has been for decades.
