Is this the message we're sending? "It's OK to be a predator if you're wealthy and Republican"?

already got elected to the highest office in the land despite those very statements (and all the sexual assault/rape allegations). He's immune. He's untouchable. He's Teflon Don.

(And he's despicable, repulsive and an abomination -- but he is the president!)

4. That's the difference between us and the MAGAts:

22 sexual assault cases (not one of them committed on Lolita Island), one child rape case, racism abound, a serious and painfully obvious lack of discipline, maturity and knowledge for the position his people put him in . . . and they still WORSHIP him no matter WHAT.

And yes, I used the term "Worship", which is dangerous territory if we're talking politics and government.

A pathological lying criminal has become the POTUS. How much worse could it get? Well, he's working on it. Further enriching the 1%, rolling back environmental protections, ruining international relations, clueless (or, perhaps more accurately, unconcerned) on health care, empowering white supremacists. The list goes on and on.

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

Continues....

PS: Sorry about the all-caps, HughBeaumont, but for some reason the historical connection of the power group to pedophilia is missed by the corporate press.
