This is awful.

Re the Kimmel thing: So rich people (Hollywood stars) complained, a whole of not so rich people canceled their streaming service, and the regime caved?

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.
