Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

Trump’s dirty hand is all over this. They are counting on people to see the first few batches as empty or boring, it is also unknown what they’ll try to challenge in court in an attempt to omit it.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ was given until 19 December to release the files. The Trump loyal DOJ’s decision to release the files partially in batches is widely seen as a delay tactic and attempt to cool the public’s interest into the Epstein network. #OpDeathEaters

I thought it would be far to Crass and insensitive to point out that Netanyahu should take much of the blame for the #bondi attacks.
But as Netanyahu is happy to be that insensitive, I think it's only fair to say: "Netanyahu should take much of the blame for this."

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.
