If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.
It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.
