Between Krasnov's placement of rich idiots and the Epstein letters, the consistent pattern is stupidity. Looks like the rich get that way by being willing to do what no decent person would ever do.
The fact that the Republicans in power are continuing to support this regime is pretty good evidence that one by one or in groups, Epstein like parties have managed to have a bedroom free with things going on that decent folk would not have done and wicked folk don't want revealed. Think about it, Jim Jordon is one of the ones they put in charge of things.
The Epstein files make it pretty clear that someone has no problem sharing sources with the worst of the worst at Langley, Moscow, Riyadh and Jerusalem. They also had no problem channeling a fortune into the hands of a man who was apparently pretty good at weaseling things out of rich idiots while being a rich idiot.
Those nasty folk behind all of this are apparently doing fine and keeping their positions. Note that we have seen some of the files, but the videos are not even being asked about. The whole point of the Epstein operation was the videos.

There are a few exceptions; I think Warren Buffet has remained fairly normal or at least not prone to the delusions of people like Trump and Elon.

(678 posts)been convinced by their own outsized egos and the sycophants they surround themselves with, that not only are they intelligent, but they are the smartest people to have ever walked the earth!
That, combined with their massive level of arrogance is to the detriment of us all. Prime example: Donald Trump.
But there are many others.

Indeed, videos are the real key.
The "problem" is that they are illegal for anyone but the government to hold or show. (Think about that ... )
How bad?
THIS bad? (conjecture)
