Once again, I have to point out: THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANY OF THIS!

The whole world has been sickened and terrified and endangered by that asshole.

But there is no point to this and there never was.

And we did it twice with four years to think about it in between.

As Paul Krugman put it the other day, obviously there are too many people in this country who are incapable of recognizing a serious, responsible person.

This is why de-risking from America is very much a thing.

In other words, when will Epstein be used to distract from even worse crimes (like mass murder).

At what point does the number of people who have been murdered outweigh the child rapes?

Not for all those construction companies in NYC and their hundreds of employees that he put out of business because he decided not to pay them for work done well.

Not for the ruin of Atlantic City.

Not for 100000 extra deaths from Covid

Not for probably dozens of sexual assaults, including of children.

Not for my family friend, a child, to have spent two months in a concentration camp with a head injury and without a change of clothing.

Not for ANY of it.

It's all about colonialism, white supremacy,
fear and greed.

I think it came as a shock to white explorers
that their whiteness represents a great minority
in the world.

And that need for domination and supremacy
still prevails on a lot of levels.
