Christine Pelosi, a Democratic National Committee official and daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warned conspicuously on Saturday evening that it is "quite likely that some of our faves are implicated" in the "horrific" sex-trafficking case against politically connected financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Honestly I think there's a good chance it's not that she's protecting anyone in particular (though she knows some people like Clintons are implicated) so much as she's just of the mindset that some kids getting sex trafficked to elites is not a big deal, happens all the time, just the way the world works kiddo and we all need to sweep it back under the rug and get back to common sense centrism rather than risk letting these odious populists hold the elite to account for their sexual "habits". Which is an even worse look. It's the kind of end of history, this is just how the sausage is made and we need to keep the commoners from thinking about this too much.

Distraction from what? That trump and those who are in charge are terrible terrible people?

There's also prominent Democrats like the Clintons that were very close with Epstein, Ghislaine had an aisle seat at Chelsea's wedding. A lot of prominent individuals are saying release the evidence because they're confident it will never see the light of day.

A distraction from what, Nancy? What are we supposed to be paying attention to in particular? Some evil policy that will be maintained by the next Democratic administration?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

Sure she probably doesn't want Clintons or any other dem implicated, but i think they've just gotten so used to saying "(issue) is a distraction" that its become instinct.

At a loss for words.

How the fuck does an imbecile such as this get elected to any position? How is ‘politician’ her profession?

Well they can't and won't do any actual work and need to protect their wealth somehow.
So with some of the money they have they buy their way in and then make sure nothing happens to the rest.

It's not like pelosi is so out of touch she brags about having a second freezer for her delivered artisanal gelato right?

Nepotism. Here is a young pelosi hanging out with JFK (another sex pest)

She knows she won't get anymore of that sweet Jeni's ice cream if it comes out

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 points 6 days ago
