These people are beyond clueless.
Epstein is SOOO much bigger than "who's on the list."
It is a decades long obscenity and corrupt, knee jerk protection of the rich and powerful over multiple administrations.
It is the embodiment of the corrosive effect the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many has on any society that allows it.
It could be the match that starts a firestorm that burns down resistance to reversing the current flow of dollars from the many to the few.
They call is "stuff" ?
Un-f-ing-believable.
Either they actually don't get that the "Epstein stuff" represents the uber wealthy manipulating and abusing the most vulnerable among us -- and that that fact stands as an emblem for so much else. Or they get it and don't give a shit.
But if they get it, they should at least give voice to what is happening.
Sure, Pam Bondi is the latest person engaged in a knee jerk cover up of off-the-scale immoral and obscene behavior of wealthy and powerful people who believe (so far rightly) that they are UNTOUCHABLE.
While her motive may be protecting the felon, the knee jerk protection of the uber wealthy, and the automatic dismissal of the girls, women, and others who came forward to bravely make complaints, spans administrations from Clinton (Farmer's complaints), through GWB, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump 2.
And just a note about AA. Long before Alex Acosta cut the sweetheart deal in 2007 on behalf of the the "masters of the universe" who abused vulnerable girls and women, he systematically undermined the power of unions on the NLRB in 2002 and then did everything in his power to advance the agenda of destroying any semblance of free and fair elections from 2003 to 2005 as the AG of the Civil Rights Division. His role in the corruption of the elections in Ohio and elsewhere in 2004 goes far beyond dereliction of duty to accomplice in suppressing every legitimate complaint.
I hope that as anger at these men who believe their wealth and power protect them grows, the connections they have to the men undermining the ways our will is measured and made manifest becomes clearer and clearer.
The thing is, people who are abused may lash out in the wrong direction -- e.g., MAGA -- but I believe the anger may begin to focus on the real villains. The villains who have been working for decades to corrupt the means by which the will of we the people is measured and executed. It is time to turn against the billionaire Christian nationalists and their strange bedfellows in sidelining the will of the people.
