You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
Dereliction of responsibility by the court. It is so flagrantly illegal. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-wis...

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

We don't need to change any MAGA minds. We need to talk to the people who googled "is joe biden running" on November 4th, 2024. They are out there, and they vote every time, and the more headlines they see in the next 355 days about how the Republican Party is protecting pedophiles, the better.

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

They won't. Which is why I didn't understand why the republicans were so worried about it. This will get buried on page 10 if even covered at all.
Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

My point is more: a system in which this stuff can happen with the enthusiastic complicity of the national press, who then shuffle and cough awkwardly when the culprits brag in public about what they did, is profoundly bent and sick and it needs to be drastically refashioned.

wtf is going on man. Major evidence has been dropped that implicates The president of the United States in a child rape scheme and cover up and both msnbc and cnn and interviewing some clown directors about films coming out this weekend.
The information ecosystem in this country is broke man.

And I wish the Democratic Party would go on a full court press about it. Make this and the economy the two sole issues for the next 20 years until the republican party no longer exists. It's time to go scorched earth.
pro pedophilia is in fact the main value proposition of the current Republican party
they elected and have been covering for THEE main epstein guy, like they were trying to decode pictures of pizza and meanwhile started worshipping the guy with an epstein punch card

Everyone should watch/listen to this and be reminded of what America believed after the last excursion into unfettered oligarchy. The rich were so undone by FDR that they created term limits and set about dismantling every single thing he did to make America great
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
