(71,399 posts)... he was involved in moving tens and hundreds of millions around in laundering schemes, extortion, influence peddling, as well.
I think a lot of influential men will be caught up in this. i honestly believe that very few of ours will get caught up in this.
We had the Akron, Ohio version of this mess in the late 70s. The rich males must have drawn lots, because only one out of the dozen or so caught up in this went to jail, and on of the girls went to jail, too. And the Judge Barbuto thing. All of them GOP, BTW.

(3,152 posts)I hope the full files get released and the billionaire and prime minister get outed as well. I don't blame you for having to put it down. I quite literally lost my appetite for a couple of days after reading it.

(824 posts)It is very difficult to read in that what happened to Virginia (like too many others) is sickening, yet I dont want to put it down. The scum bag who was Jeffrey Epstein and his side-kick ghee-lane Maxwell were/are greedy, entitled, vile, despicable human specimens, much like their bff, Donnie dumpster.

Absolutely, sheshe. Read it into the record on the floor of the House in the evenings when the House isn't legislating.

(96,621 posts)It should be a woman. Dayum, that would leave a mark.
Pressley who is a rape survivor or maybe Crockett?
Wait, how about Grijalva on the day she is FINALLY sworn in! Now that would be classic! At the end of the filibuster, they can vote on the release of the Epstein files, now that would be poetic justice.

(63,985 posts)As many women of the House who want to participate. They can take turns and read it straight thru. They would have to get permission of the living author & Virginia's family, though.

(4,065 posts)But, and this is a truly scary, what if Johnson never calls the House back into session?
In all previous shutdowns, both parties stayed in Washington to work on ways to solve the impasse. Not this time.
A fascinating and chilling 4-part post about that very thing. Here are the sections that make the case that Mike Johnson does not intend to call the House back into session. Ever.

(96,621 posts)If he does not, we the taxpayers need to call for a refund. Not just their salary, their health benefits need to be repaid to the US taxpayers as well along with their spending accounts, airfare, food etc. I would like to limit this to every republican since it is their speaker, third in line for the presidency that is making the decisions.

(96,621 posts)She was an amazing woman to have survived for so many years with her pain. In the end, she let go yet her words are here with all of us forever. I hope they haunt the ones that betrayed a beautiful young girl.
Rest in peace my child, rest in peace.
