“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Speaking of enabling the 2008 GFC: in 1998/99, Summers backed the repeal of Glass-Steagall's 60+ years of regulation of banking & investment services [Epstein's "job"].
Flight records show he flew on Epstein's private plane at least 4 times, including in 1998 as Deputy Secretary of the US Treasury.

What burns as much as the disrespect and scientific illiteracy is that he thinks he's being [redacted] clever.

Anyway, if I never hear about Summers again, it'll be too soon. When they write "The Decline and Fall of Harvard" it starts with him.

The Epstein scandal has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.
Epstein trafficked not just in the bodies of the children he abused but also in social connections that could bring elites together.
