      If he was concerned about harming others, this would be the first time in his life. So yes he just admitted that he’s in the files and he will be harmed if they’re released.

      No, there are absolutely other very important wealthy people who are tied to Epstein. I saw a picture of Bezos and Eric Schmidt with Maxwell that supposedly was dated 2018.

      There are going to be very important people who used Epstein and not all will be people you dislike.

        Shrug. Oh well?

        If that stuff comes to light, (normal) people might be disappointed in some instances, but I doubt they would have rather it did not come out and those people left unpunished.

        Of course, sick fuckers like Donvict and people that worship the elite because of Worthington’s Law might feel differently.

    lol … sounds a lot like the evangelical preacher with the million dollar private jet who asked his parishers to give more money to buy a second jet because it would save more people

    (I remembered this story from a few years ago and thought it was ‘a second jet’ … I was wrong … the preacher was asking for donations to buy his FOURTH JET!!!)

    Trump isn’t running a country … he’s an evangelical preacher leading a ministry called the United States

    If by ‘people’ we mean rich men who have no regard for other people and feel they are outside the law, then yes, people. Better to call them what they are rich criminal men. Those criminals are the ones they are afraid of hurting not the actual victims of their abuse.

    The people in those files hurt children. Now I know Trump and the GOP don’t actually care about children or even really pretend to, but still.

      Well, some of them very much pretend to care about children with the bullshit Qanon stuff. But that’s only because they thought they’d be locking up Democrats.

    Isn’t this actually the argument they are making to release Maxwell from prison? That the evidence proves her so guilty that she could not possibly have a fair trial.

    That’s the whole point, isn’t it? Exposing criminals and charging them will hurt them in all sorts of ways. Personal responsibility suggests that if you made your own bed then you lie in it. If you get a bunch of “powerful” cohorts doing the same thing it becomes a criminal conspiracy cabal with certain protections built in. I guess they find themselves “tween” a rock and a hard place.

    Yes, that’s kind of a big part of it. Wealthy elites did bad things and we want them to hurt because we all hurt and they’re getting away with doing bad things.

    This is not rocket science…

      Hey, I appreciate the sentiment, but some years ago I made an active effort to remove misogynist vocabulary from my swearword vocabulary (e.g. bitch, cunt) - maybe that’s something you could see yourself doing as well?

        Can’t see that happening, sorry. This is one of those times and people where swearing isn’t even enough, Fat ass Donny deserves every possible vilification that can be sent his way, and a lot more besides. Language isn’t enough to express the contempt and loathing I feel for that obese, bloviated, orange tub of rancid lard, but I try anyway since he’s not close enough for me to spit upon. And, swearing isn’t misogynistic. It’s fucking swearing, because normal vocabulary won’t do. It also has the benefit that Donny 2 Inches doesn’t understand words greater than 4 letters in length. Maybe you could do something about your over active sensibilities, and save the preaching for church?
