unless you’ve had unfortunate reason to research the subject, i can almost promise you: however much child abuse you think is happening within any community, the reality is way more.
A lot of people are rightfully outraged that famous, important people continued to hang out with Jeff Epstein after he was convicted of serious sex crimes. I would posit, though, that 'maintaining social and business relationships with sex criminals' is extremely common behavior, regardless of class

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

Can't believe the guy who led us from record low layoffs to record high layoffs looks poised to do the similar again.
Host: Weekly jobless claims rising unexpectedly to 231,000. Challenger layoffs, a challenging number here, 108,000. That was the worst January since 2009.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.
It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.
