It's not just about the CSA. Epstein and his clients made a killing off of the 2008 financial crisis, and very powerful people, some of whom weren't even involved with the underage sex trafficking, really don't want anyone taking a close look at his finances.

Maybe it's for the best. I don't see how they could pull this off without more uses of the N-word than a Quentin Tarantino movie, which would be endlessly quoted on social media by a bunch of edgelords who can't even understand who the good guys are in the game.

RFK Jr is trained as a lawyer, not a scientist. He is used to being paid to take a position and find evidence to back up that position and discount contrary evidence. The "truth" is whatever he can make a jury believe.

Does farting lessen your biotics so you need to take more biotics to replace the biotics you just farted out?

I foresee Tesla adding a good chunk of TrumpCoin to its crypto holdings in the near future.

Elmo doesn't understand that the quarter billion he dropped on getting Trump elected was just a down payment.

No one wants these stupid age verification laws. Kids can't buy their own devices. It's on parents to not give kids free access to everything on the Internet. Parental controls are a thing. Not giving your 12-year-old a smartphone is also a thing.

I'm convinced that while attending school in Southern California, Stephen Miller was outdone by brown guys in sports, academics, and above all, dating - and this is his revenge.

Or you could say "people who were wealthy enough to ignore what was happening instead chose to do something, putting their own lives and safety at risk, being fully aware of the possibility of what has happened to them."

B.C. Comic. In the first panel, B.C. notices warm lava. In the second, he sees Thor with a large foot shape on a stick stamping footprints into the warm lava, and asks "What in the world are you doing?", to which Thor replies, "A million years from now, this will drive them out of their minds".

This should be shouted from the rooftops. Netanyahu has been planning this for years. He wants their land.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from
