Everything wrong with society is men like Epstein. Those greedy, non-caring, soulless wealthy who use the world and the living creatures in it for their own pleasure wo empathy or regard for the future. if you think Epstein was the only one, you're deluding yourself. There's a vast network of them.

When has the US ever kept its promises to : Native Americans, Chinese immigrants, former enslaved Blacks, most Iraqi's Afghani's.. the list goes on an on if you are not of European decent, you are in trouble..
America broke its word.
To NATO. To Ukraine. To allies. To refugees who followed the rules.
Trust once shattered is not restored with slogans.

The United States is no longer a honorable trustworthy nation if it ever was. It has broken its promises to NATO allies, trade partners, Ukraine and refugees and immigrants who followed our process legally. This Administration's actions are shameful and embarrassing.

A Russian athlete takes silver in Italy while following Rosgvardia accounts tied to Moscow’s war machine. The IOC clears him under the polite fiction of “AIM” neutrality. Coventry calls it eligibility. Many of us call it laundering a regime’s image through sport. The Olympic brand deserves better.

Putin doesn’t fear “women.”
He fears women who refuse to kneel.
