I’m just a Canadian tourist (who is no longer travelling to the USA), living in Alberta, hoping for an end to the mediocre UCP/Smith wannabe dictatorship.

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.

People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

This is not an aberration, nor is it a titillating tale of pervy old guys.

The oppression of women, including via sexual crimes, is a pillar of the global POLITICAL economy.

It's why power & wealth are distributed as they are: maintaining that distribution requires collective action by many men.
Why. Were. So. Many. Men. Regularly. Emailing. Jeff. Epstein. After. He. Was. A. Known. Pedophile?

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Exactly. He should resign.
Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

Over the last 10yrs in US politics, 10s of millions of voters not only chose A man over the most qualified women POTUS candidates ever, they chose a rapist & felon:twice!

Yet the pundit & social media narrative is unchanged: MAGA is mostly about racism.

Whom does this erasure of the obvious serve?

I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned from the way Epstein's industrial-scale abuse of women met with the indifference, complicity & sometimes active participation of some of the most powerful men in the world, from virtually all walks of life, from crowned heads to CEOs & academics?

It's so over for Tesla in China.

The Xiaomi YU7, a Model Y rival, not only outsold Tesla's Model Y in October, but it outsold Tesla's *total* October sales of 26,006 vehicles by 29%.

So anyways…

You know how “Last Door” is the UCP’s most favorite recovery group ever?

Looks like their former employee who they allegedly tried to cover up for by deleting complaints from victims got sentenced to 3 years for sexual assault.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
