Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

To protect the overall organization and potentially to protect other people in his life. My impression from looking at the documents is that this is a very large international network. I imagine there would be consequences for being caught, such as the torture and murder of everyone you hold dear. If your only options are to kill yourself or to get murdered and have everyone around you also tortured and killed, I could see a narcissist choosing the former option.
I don’t know anything for sure, but the released files definitely gave me the impression that Epstein was not the top of the chain. Rather, he seems like the American representative of an extensive global cabal. Somebody out there was putting together those sample albums of girls for him. Somebody was running the brothels he seemed to be visiting. He was getting calls from all over the globe with descriptions of new girls. It seems to go much deeper than just Ghislaine trolling the local middle schools for fresh meat.
So, if he did kill himself (heavy on the if), then I’d imagine it was partially because there is a scarier monster out there who is ready to take out the trash if anybody gets sloppy.
If anyone can't imagine Donald Trump or Prince Andrew torturing family members, I do want to add a reminder that Israel's Mossad seems to be heavily tied into Epstein and potentially the trafficking ring itself.
You misunderstand me—I can see them being ok with torturing family members, but if the options are to either die by suicide or die by murder plus they demolish your empire, I think there’s a chance that they choose the former.
Correcting you wasn't my intention at all. Sorry if it sounded like I was. I was merely adding to what you were saying (or attempting to).
It’s all good, friend. I, too, apologize if I misinterpreted your response.
Look at us—just two civil lemmings having a polite conversation. This really is the superior social media.
