Fidelio!
I am sure there were many "Black Masses" in the Trump/Epstein escapades and plenty of video.
And with women "on the younger side"
Do those robes hint at anything?
I'd bet on it.

On edit, Wikipedia says: Mentmore Towers and Elveden Hall in Elveden, Suffolk, England for the mansion.

(25,891 posts)The nearest Indian restaurant is 50 miles away, and they don't play videos (that I recall)
The SF Bay area ones do play videos, so some cultural learning along with the food.

As for me, I didn't know. Usoian just wanted to tell you by your posts you are very well informed and I like that.

(25,891 posts)Much appreciated! I enjoy sharing actionable information (and a few chuckles) with the greatest forum and people on earth!!
Sometimes it gets tedious, like cleaning up those links in Indivisible emails I get so I can post them here, but well worth it.
Or the hand-crafted memes and fakes I create.
For example, I can't possibly sit through videos without falling asleep (I race through stuff, and text wins for me)
I can scan it from beginning to end in seconds.
I can copy and paste
I can search it!! Go right to what I need.
And few do it, so I spent most of the afternoon finding ways to quickly get transcripts and instead of one 10,000 word sentence, break it up smartly. This will pay off enormously. I had done it mostly "by hand" from YouTube unreadable transcripts.
Because this is SO DAMN IMPORTANT.
I revisited a protest song I cooked up and posted here earlier, and realized I need a tune under it, otherwise nobody will pay attention to it.
So, I grabbed a musical score, free of copyright (Takes ages to write one by hand or computer) and typed in the lyrics inside of it.
I submitted it to Indivisible and to mobilize.us.
Been a busy day.
