Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich streaming on Netflix

Just when you think it’s bad… you can hear the interviews of the girls & realize it’s worse. Anyone who knew what he was doing & continued their relationship w him is just as guilty! These were CHILDREN

When the Epstein list is released… bet that any conservatives were removed but democrats left in. Guess maybe it’s true. They certainly have been dragging their feet — to make sure to scrub it up?

Documents show Epstein had 1000’s of ‘contacts’ but his 1st business was financier/advisor/liaison to the rich & powerful. ‘The other’ was a disgusting hobby.Did these people know what Epstein had been convicted of in 2008? More importantly, did they care?

ICE acts as judge, jury, executioner… but that’s the way the leader rules the kingdom.

Glad to see Dan Rather still serves his mission.

How did this guy ever get a security clearance to be President? What’s that? They don’t make presidential candidates pass a security clearance in order to be on the ballot?

House Soeaker Johnson is outrageous!!

After 54 days out, he calls members in session long enough to vote the govt open then sends them all home again? For how long this time? How many days have they worked this year? 13? Did they have nothing else to do? America great?

Is the Epstein list going to end up like the Mueller Report? Mueller did NOT exonerate ‘him’ but AG Barr misled Congress in a public forum & everyone just ran with it. Once more Don was shielded from an indictment by an election.

2029… we ought to reconsider allowing such presidential immunity

After watching for decades what goes on inside a large lobbying organization … it is obvious that Republicans take full advantage of the Democrats desire not to allow working class people to suffer. Some call it compassion, others a weakness to be used as a weapon for their own self interests.

Republicans have long stood for ‘small government’- we are seeing a glimpse of a small government now - not to be confused with small spending mind you.

… how do you like us now?

What they SHOULD have been working toward was a more efficient government. But that requires investments, planning, etc

The ACA isn’t perfect by far. But it’s the only way to help people AFFORD to have coverage at all. A real solution would mean health care companies, big pharma for one, would not be raking in profits. It’s about greed.
