Didn’t they also colonize the region and over the next several centuries crucify a bunch of people? Pretty sure one of them even became a martyr for what went on to be the most destructive and enduring groups of people for all time.
Feels like pepe has been a dying meme for years now, but racists will fight tooth and nail to keep it alive. “iTs NoT A HAtE iCoN, WE tOoK IT baCK!” I don’t care to have it back, it can just get buried and stay there, please.
I’m saying that the mention of Fintech in the First Case would IMPLY that the WebDev also deals with Fintech. If both devs have comparable skillsets then it makes sense to compare their pay rates.
He used to be more of a self identified nonpartisan moderate centrist, and he interviewed people of all shapes and color with great interest and respect, but these last few years he’s really lost his goddamn mind.
I think I did kind of okay for an explanation on such a complex subject in only 23 words. I guarantee you that a person without all three of those things won’t break an addiction, but also yeah it can’t be any better defined because all three of them are subjective to the person in question. A good work ethic for me is not the same as it is to you, a purpose in life can be anything, and pursuing the goal can have wildly different meaning as well.
Feels like a pretty weak argument to compare my statement “give your life purpose” to the larger socioeconomic issue of lack of upward mobility of class. I didn’t tell anybody how to get rich quick, I told them how to rationalize an end to self harm.
I would consider the Rockies as their own distinct cultural and geographical region, tbh. Most of Montana that I’ve ever seen wasn’t in the mountains but that could just be a matter of perspective.
First of all, if a hearing is held in congress and not by the DOJ, then you’re absolutely expecting too much to think anything will be done for justice of past crimes. I don’t think the Senate or House can do anything on this topic other than keep the government funded. Historically, Congress has never shown the capacity to prosecute outside of changing how laws are enforced, which is moot because everything Epstein did is already illegal.
Second, I assure you there are active investigations to many of the names in the list, but not much incriminating evidence was found for the more than a thousand people he had some form of contact with over the last couple of years due to their discreet methods of conducting business. A lot of relevant court documents only recently became unsealed since trials started in 2016. Many new contacts were revealed at the end of the Virgin Islands Civil Lawsuit as well. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years, Sarah Kellen could be next as Federal Judges have expressed interest in charging her as early as the conclusion of the Maxwell trials in January 2022, JP Morgan have spent 13.8 Million USD on legal fees in the case and will pay 290 Million in reparations for facilitating the financial side of Epstein’s business, Deutsche Bank will pay 75 Million, etc. To claim that nothing has happened and nothing is being done is ignorance.
As much as some people would love to blame and execute Bill Clinton, for example, all he ever did was borrow the man’s plan on a trip to various charity medical sites across Africa that Epstein was unrelated to. So then where do you draw the line? Epstein made it his business to go to parties and shake hands with the influential. He disguised himself as a wealthy venture capitalist for over 2 decades before being outed as a trafficker.
In fact, almost half of Maxwell’s charges were dropped because there wasn’t enough concrete evidence and some of the charges overlapped with a previous conviction where they were granted immunity in a plea deal for state level charges. That’s how hard it is to get a conviction for a crime with only witness testimony. It’s like pulling nails. But it can be done.
Whose apologizing for what, I explained to you the thing that you want to happen is happening. Under Democrat leadership. You were just flat out wrong.
Present it. She literally published a book and accepted paid speaking events. Accusing Biden pays all of her bills. Last I heard the only people who were willing to side with Reade was her mother and her neighbor. If there were a sexual harassments claim in a government office then there are normally large paper trails and documented statements involved.
My point is very clear, if people want Epstein’s list of associates and people who paid him to see justice, then they need to vote accordingly, and definitely NOT for the guy who was good friends with Epstein and visited his island many times.

Always a smokescreen to take away your rights. Epstein plead guilty in 2008 to trafficking children to nobody.
