73 yr Dutch woman, pHD med. scienc. Lived/worked 5 years in USA. QA work in pharma in different countries. Play sax.
Also don't forget Julie Brown, investigative reporter of the Miami Herald. Her years long work after the sweet heart deal Epstein got, gave the victims a voice and reignited the second prosecution of Epstein.
Without her work and tenacity, we would not be talking about Epstein's files right now.

The island was not necessary for the criming. Raping/assaulting children can also be done on other lications like Epstein's mansion

Everyone has the right on their opinion. I value their opinion as long as they value my right to not agree with them. Factual arguments are appreciated by me. I will block anyone who revert to personal attacks.

Fox News and NY Post reliable news sources?

It could also be a democratic president. Onve chosen, he/she seems to be able to do anything he/she wants. Theoretically there is the mechanism of impeachment. Practically, it has never worked.

During Trump's first term, we (Netherlands, EU) were patient and gave the USA the benefit of the doubt. However, chosing him for a second time was a bridge too far.

Unreliability is not only a problem in trade. In general agreements seem not to mean a thing. Just think back to the Iran-deal; the deal to provide airdefense for the Kurds; the lies about Iraq; the hasty retreat from Afghanistan; the insecurity of shared classified information

This should at best be a line in an absurdistic theater play not in an actual court proceeding.

As an outsider 🇳🇱, I consider the current USA government pathetic. Wasting money to prosecute someone for a felony because he tried to start a foodfight with a fresh sandwich. At the same time, the government is playing games with foodsecurity of children.

I am Dutch. I already removed my spotify apo from my phone. I refuse to support companies supporting fascists for profit.. Period! Human rights and dignoty are not for sale.
We have had awful experiences with that brand of philosophy.

It is embarassing that an USA senator has no idea what communism is or is trying on purpose to deceive voters.

I have the strong feeling that they love the current situation. They are getting paid and can also live in their homestate. They are adviced not to do town halls. They have enough time for lucrative side projects like podcasts, writing a book, go to sponsor events, have dinner with lobbyists etc.

Jordan knows that he is no match for Jack Smith.

Maybe to be able to prosecute him when his ter. Is over?
November 5, 2025 at 1:14 PM
I don't think the documents could be released earlier since if Trump had lost, Smith could have finished his prosecution. Making the information public now, will help Smith since it will show that it was not a witchhunt. Making it public now, will support the resistance and Trump will be exposed.

I am Dutch and I just decided, I will have a glass of wine tonight to support the celebration from a distance.
I am still not buying californian wine though. I will start rethinking it if the USA stops bullying, insulting and lying about other countries and keeps that up.

Hurrah, and I am now hoping that the midterms will show that without this redistricting the democrats did not beed this redistricting.
Seeing this results, Texas will probably regret their redistricting because it puts republican wins in former republucan strongholds in jeopardy.
