Epstein's career makes no sense unless you realize he was a major player in the US empire, with special ties to America's Middle East satrapies.
BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇦🇪Jeffrey Epstein received an email from Emirati billionaire Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem in 2011, subjected "smart shoes." Ahmed bin Sulayem advises Epstein he can assist with providing shoes with GPS integration to track "kids" and clients. Epstein responds with

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when Larry Summers was not hanging with Jeffrey Epstein he worked overtime to ship our jobs to China, bailout Wall Street, deregulate big banks & caused millions to lose their homes. These are precisely the policies that led to Trump.

Yes, yes, we remember!
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies:

Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy.

Note that the two most powerful Dems in the county have done the following to oppose this: 1) Hakeem Jeffries has not released a single statement 2) Schumer made one (1) statement and his primary criticism was Trump had “no clear explanation” and demanded a “Senators briefing”
New at @CBSNews - Top officials present President Trump with military options for Venezuela in the coming days via @JenniferJJacobs and I report.

I feel like people aren’t making a big enough deal about this. This Megyn Kelly clip is INSANE.
Megyn Kelly in 2018: " There's no consenting for a 14 or even a 17 year old." Megyn Kelly today: "Jeffrey Epstein…was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

A good op-ed would be "Every single person included in the Epstein emails must immediately resign any position of public confidence and never be allowed to hold another one" does not seem harsh at all to me

It's really not OK from a political or moral standpoint that it took 10 years, many of them with Democrats in control of the WH or Congress, and 3 prez campaigns against Trump, to get Epstein emails like this out in the open, Ryan Cooper writes. https://t.co/Mz6dc7solo

They think Trump had sex with 15-yr-olds. And they’re getting ready to defend it 🫡
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Ezra Klein’s take from two months ago has aged as poorly as you’d expect
Jeffrey Epstein: "would you like photos of donald [Trump] and girls in bikinis in my kitchen."

The next time Larry Summers writes the Crimson about the "moral rot" of pro Palestinian demonstrators, bear in mind that his wife Elisa New sent Jeffrey Epstein dozens of emails groveling for money and flattering him, well after his conviction for child sex trafficking.
Here she is in 2014, telling Epstein how they can structure the $500,000 for which she is asking in a way that will give her the most control over the funds.

every single person compelled to defend schumer on this is a hack working for a party that can't fight for you
So much animosity for Leader Schumer on the internet tonight, but he was not one of the senators negotiating with Republicans and he has said he is voting no.

.@RoKhanna, who has called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced, says the only reason other Democrats aren't calling for it is because it would "offend a lot of donors." "Are we gonna be beholden to the donors that have gotten us two terms of Donald Trump, or are we gonna listen to

open skull fractures, smashed hands, countless eyes doused w bear spray. Fireworks shot horizontally into the camp. Grown men smashing young students w crowbars. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since.
It really is so fucking crazy that a group of peaceful student demonstrators at ucla got attacked by a group of 200+ men, many with military training, and the university said they would investigate it and LAPD said they would investigate it and it has just COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED
