Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, and will appear in court in New York on Monday, according to three law enforcement sources. The arrest, by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force, comes about 12 years after the 66-year-old financier essentially got a slap on the wrist for allegedly molesting dozens of underage girls in Florida. For more than a decade, Epstein’s alleged abuse of minors has been the subject of lawsuits brought by victims, investigations by local and federal authorities, and exposés in the press. But despite the attention cast on his alleged sex crimes, the hedge-funder has managed to avoid any meaningful jail time, let alone federal charges.
Quote:With Jeffrey Epstein locked up, these are nervous times for his friends, enablers MIAMI — Jeffrey Epstein spent a second night in a New York jail cell Sunday, with a federal indictment expected to be unsealed Monday, charging him with sex offenses involving underage girls he and others allegedly trafficked in New York and Florida, sources have told the Miami Herald. His Saturday arrest capped months of investigating, led by federal agents and prosecutors with the Southern District of New York’s Public Corruption Unit, assisted by investigators with the sex trafficking division. Although details of the case remain undisclosed, there are indications that others involved in his crimes could be charged or named as cooperating witnesses. Among those potentially on the list: Ghislaine Maxwell, a 57-year-old British socialite and publishing heir who has been accused of working as Epstein’s madam; and Jean-Luc Brunel, who, according to court records, was partners with Epstein in an international modeling company. Epstein, 66, was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey shortly before 4 p.m. Saturday, as he arrived on his private jet from Paris, where he had been vacationing since June 14, aviation records show. About an hour after they picked him up, federal agents arrived at his imposing Manhattan townhouse, breaking down the door to execute search warrants. https://www.democraticunderground.org/100212256533

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: How is sex trafficking in the Department of Labor? I would have thought that enforcement, and budget, would be with various criminal investigation and prosecutorial entities ... District attorneys, police departments, and FBI (for interstate crimes) or ICE (for trafficking into our borders). Seems kind of an odd place for child sex trafficking investigations, since prostitution mostly isn't a legal form of "work" anyway and not covered by labor laws. BTW, some of the things that the guy who arranged the "calendar girl" party didn't say, and I couldn't find any reference to, was 1) how old the girls were and 2) did any complaints of abuse result from that party? This is just another hobby-horse that SECOND wants to ride.

Context is everything when it comes to humor, and I do enjoy the way that Trump continually trolls and owns the MSM on a daily basis. But that's not a funny joke. There are plenty of other ways to get Anderson Cooper's panties in a twist.

SECOND doesn't have a thought in its brain, otherwise it would notice it hasn't typed RUSSIA-INCOMETAX-BROWNIMMIGRANTS in this entire thread. Nope, no brain. All SECOND has is a propaganda feed linked to a keyboard. BTW, the last time SECOND got this desperate (obsessively, verbosely propagandist) was then I raised doubts about Hillary's fitness for office, the DNC's ethics, and the entire democratic party's aims and methods over the years. It's like SECOND wants to singlehandedly stem the national tide right here, on this little website. Perhaps the polls that show Trump winning, or that his job approval has gone up, have rattled its little cage. Or the cage of the propagandists, of whom SECOND is a member.

He tweeted this morning: "When I ultimately leave office in six years, or maybe 10 or 14 (just kidding) . . . " https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1149345681829744647 This is not the first time Trump has indicated that he’s interested in staying in office for more than two terms. He’s said he does so to troll the media, but given his open admiration for dictators abroad and repeated efforts to undermine the rule of law at home, his jokes about becoming president for life really aren’t funny. www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/5/10/18535212/trump-2020-pelosi-lose-leave-office

I'd like to know if Obama ever actually said this, even jokingly. If he didn't, JSF wasn't the one that made it up. I do remember quite a few times during the insane election of 2016 quite a bit of fearmongering that Obama was going to possibly have a third indefinite term, possibly by executive order. Do you have any proof that Obama himself or anybody high profile enough to matter around him hinted at it? Do Right, Be Right. :)

All reasonable people knew for 8 years that he was incapable of Following the Law, Abiding The Constitution, so nobody was too surprised, this was just more of the same from this Twit. https://www.burrardstreetjournal.com/obama-refusing-to-leave-if-trump-elected/ President Obama Confirms He Will Refuse To Leave Office If Trump Is Elected By the Burrard Street Journal President Obama refusing to leave if Trump is elected. President Obama refusing to leave if Trump is elected. Barack Obama has sensationally told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he will NOT vacate the Oval office if Donald J. Trump is elected the 45th President of the United States. The current president claims he is “fully prepared” to ignore the popular vote if it means stopping Trump, having found what he believes is a little known loophole that would allow him to remain in charge until a re-election is called. “As president, I must do what I feel is in the best interests of our nation,” he explained. “If the American people elected ‘the Donald’ then I will be forced to take whatever actions I deem necessary.” When asked by the CNN anchor if he would remain in charge, Obama’s response was firm. “I am not standing down as president if it means four years of President Trump,” he said categorically. The president was asked what exact lengths he would go to, to prevent the billionaire from being sworn in on January, 20th, 2017. “I am prepared to file a motion of ‘no confidence’ in our citizens thereby taking their vote away from them,” he confessed. “Wait, you’re willing to impeach the American people as voters?” a possibly stunned Blitzer asked. “Yes, if necessary,” the President responded. “I cannot allow him into this chair, with his finger so close to the button. The power would go to his head immediately.” Obama even suggested he will barricade himself and his family inside the White House if it means stopping the Trump family from taking up residency there. “I’ve instructed the Secret Service to use full force in defending the White House from the Trump family. Joe has already expressed his willingness to die multiple times in order to keep them out of here.” When questioned by Howard Stern, Trump seemed unconcerned by the President’s stance. “Don’t worry, we’ll get some of the second amendment people to sort him out pretty quickly.” On the other hand.... https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama-refusing-leave-office/story?id=44575517

Hey SECONDRATE, how does it feel to be so out of touch with reality? - SIGNY I remember Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky perfectly well. I remember Bill lying to Congress, on TV, then getting impeached. I think he should have been removed. If he had, V.P. Al Gore would have been President and, very likely, Governor George Bush would not have been elected running against President Gore. Bush gave plenty of indication while he was governor of Texas that he was too stupid and dishonest to be President. Without Bush, there would have been no Iraq War, the second one that was lost at a cost of trillions of dollars. - SECOND
