Re: all the prominent people who now "deeply regret" their (post-first conviction for sexual abuse of a minor) association with Jeffrey Epstein. Exactly how much sexual abuse of children is too much? What is the socially acceptable amount of sexual abuse of children?

The lack of consequences and near total immunity to the law does not apply only to the extremely rich and famous: it also applies to well-to-do, well-connected white Republicans in general. I know this from personal experience with a Republican Party consultant I am related to second hand.

I just looked at a page of names in the Epstein files. I think Epstein had hypergraphia; some of the names were of people who just happened to be in the news, Ted Kazinsky, and the Menendez brothers, for instance, and teenaged school shooters. The child rapers are deeply embedded in random names.

It's the White supremacist American way to ban "others" from having access to opportunities, so lazy, entitled yt people don't have to compete against people who are smarter and harder working. This is playing out in the American auto industry right now.

I don't think we can afford to wait until AFTER the RAPE-UBLICANS have cheated, rigged, and voter intimidated their way into power again, to have a national strike. We need to strike early, often, and boycott continuously between now and November, to really scare the oligarchy.

The reason that RFK Jr went to Samoa, is because he is a Nazi, just like his grandfather, Joseph Kennedy was. RFKjr saw the situation on Samoa as a golden opportunity to conduct "a natural experiment" on brown people, mostly children.

I don't know. I think if I were a really extremely wealthy Republican, I would prefer free and fair elections, rather than the French Revolution style alternative. But maybe rich people don't read history, or maybe they are just really smug and stupid.

It's just so impossible to believe that a man who bragged about--grabbing women by the genitals; walking in on teenage girls in a dressing room; and who asked whether it was wrong to be more sexually attracted to his young daughter than to his wife--might be guilty of sexually abusing teenage girls!
