This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Lest we forget that @washingtonpost.com was also more than willing to spike content critical of Donald Trump.

I would posit that (as well as a shorter work week,) this is directly related to the fact that everyone there has access to healthcare and education.

Sick and worried people aren't happy and well off, and the countries that "win" in the 21st Century will be the ones with the best educated public.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

From newly released Epstein files, a letter allegedly from Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar in prison around the time of Epstein's death:

“Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls.”

Bari Weiss: “We can’t run this story on secret prisons in Venezuela where migrants are being tortured and raped without getting a comment from the administration. Try asking someone like the always quotable Stephen Miller”

As a childless 40-something, I have no cultural connection to whatever the hell an Elf on the Shelf is. Friends and family with kids talk about it. I nod, but don’t really understand. What is the point of the elf on the shelf? Does the shelf provide a better vantage point for the elf to slay orcs?
