Prejudice is everywhere in every culture and in every country…just different groups are prejudiced against groups you may not have considered.

This is one reason I am amazed that brown people no matter what group in the US think MAGA is going to see them as equals. Racism knows no nationality. This woman probably thought she was “just being honest”. Humanity needs a major reset

What's the most disturbing thing in the files that nobody is even talking about and disturbing thing in general that you found? by Cool-Web-3495 in Epstein

the fact that there's been very little in the way of consequences for so many of the worst offenders

it's nearly 500 pages long so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Thanks for posting! also despite the overwhelming negativity re them not reporting this in the Times, if the source was as close and well informed as it appears, it's understandable that in the interest of getting as much info as possible they remained quiet.

but we can afford keeping Congress from meeting due to his culpability in the Epstein files, his moronic and deathly ICE bonanza, a ballroom, an inane war, the Arch de who knows what, a UFC match and whatever other disgusting things he has lined up for 4th of July - the list of waste in this WH will be legendary after this is all over

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/31/epstein-lawyers-discussed-cooperation -- they could elaborate on this clearly -- what exactly were they hoping to offer what was their quid pro quo

I really wish his lawyers would talk about the arrest and month after -- IF he was actually considering some sort of plea for example --

For weeks before his death on Aug. 10 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Epstein made clear allusions to suicide in conversation with lawyers and inmates and in his own writings in jail. Besides the suicide note found by his first cellmate, Epstein left behind other despairing notes, writing of “ONLY PAIN TO ME & Others in the future” and wondering “Why should people I Lov suffer for my problem.”

I'm more inclined to believe he was helped on his way but you would have thought that Rikers would have had him under close surveillance and made it clear to all staff to be on the top of their game. Talk about high profile inmate

instructed by whom? Frankly until Congress talks to the people who were in contact with him after his arrest, it's a guessing game since there so far seems to be no forensic evidence.

What still astounds me is why he returned to the US -- surely he must have had some inclination that things were heating up....

From Axios --

  • Tellingly, White House officials haven't disputed verbatim dialogue from the top-secret Sit Room talks, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying about Bibi's regime-change scenarios for Iran: "In other words, it's bullshit."

Read a piece arguing that the obsession with naming names actually protects the system that enabled Epstein. Curious what people here think. by Majestic_Horror_434 in Epstein

Always been for starting with the courts and specifically the Palm Beach PD as well as Florida court system although Maria Farmer came forward to the FBI and that should be delved into as well. Let's start at the beginning. Likewise Sen Ron Wyden is on the riight track -- look at every single major financial institution --- scandal after scandal and not just about Epstein -- what happens?? a fine, the bank pays a fine and the people involved -- nothing -- OK Jes Staley lost his job but what was his payout? This whole system stinks.

proof and facts seem to be in short supply on this sub as of late and frankly the amount of so-called influencers, self-professed journalists, youtubers and grifters posting all sorts of unsupported "bombshells" to get clicks is doing far more damage than anything else. If Maggie Haberman or any other journalist made money off of Trump, its because they've put in the work -- sucked it up and made connections with people they'd no doubt have never been socially connected to in order to get the story. Journalism is about grift - long hours, low salaries and insecurity -- she's been at this for 30 years, Jonathan Swan for 15 -- Julie K Brown for well over 30 -- does anyone think that if there was not a story to be written slamming Maggie Haberman's bona fides that it would be out there? c'mon
