"Fishing chair", 2nd half of the 16thC Iron chair with velvet-covered seat. Anyone who sat in it was held in place by a hidden spring mechanism in the seat. Other springs clasped the thighs & arms . You had to pass a drinking test to be released. (Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien)

So often when I read about a medieval woman in some old records I think to myself that their story would be such an awesome film.

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.
My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Of course, the current chair of the House Judiciary Committee is Jim Jordan, so you can get why Pam Bondi would assume he wouldn't care about getting justice for the victims of sexual assault.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members

When Pam Bondi is questioned about rich and powerful people raping children, she prefers to talk about rich and powerful people making money.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
