Smith’s one of those super straight-arrows; I doubt he’d violate the law in any way to get past this.

My bet is he’ll find a way to get this appealed and reversed, because he’s a sharp legal mind and she’s a sycophantic dingbat.

Their one saving grace

I challenge you to find one earlier than Stalag 17!

I don’t know that there isn’t one, I just challenge you.

“You said you were going after the worst of the worst, but-"

“No but. You people are the worst.”

Also. You’re thinking of Stalag 17. 😏

The seats they’re having trouble filling are in the dressing rooms.

Good. Who cares. Fuck him.

Keep on telling yourself that. You guys have been wrapping yourselves in tissue-thin tales of cope ever since you realized that Trump’s campaign promise to release the files was BS. The endless parade of lies blowing up in your faces lately would be a bit sad if it wasn’t so richly deserved.

“There’s so much evidence that it’s not really evidence!!!”

Cry me a river.

Except it’s easier to move a known dead body in public than it is to sneak a live body out of prison in secret.

And remember the stuff about his hyoid bone? The coroner said that the bone was broken in a manner typical to strangulation, and then Bill Barr and others came down on that basically saying “no it wasn’t” and then the coroner shut up. If the coroner was in on it, he would have given a more conspiratorially correct autopsy report; and add to that that he spent plenty of time with that body and would have known it wasn’t Epstein. He wouldn’t have mentioned the hyoid bone if he was covering for a substitute body.

True. He could have been spirited away in the time gap on the tape… But then there’s the autopsy. And Ghislaine…

My bad. It was collapsed on old.lemmy.world when I posted.

Way I heard it (back in Trump I) was that, yes, his primary motivation was to indulge himself, but he was quite happy to make more bank and influence when Mossad came to him. Who doesn’t like to profit off their hobby? And just like the CIA, Mossad doesn’t mind at all delving into the nastiest stuff if they can use it against powerful people and profit.

For what that’s worth. This came from following NATSEC types on Twitter the first time around.

…Unless you subscribe to the theory that he was the operator of a blackmail factory for Mossad.

Well, look at who he relied on to do the smart thing

Like, backyard? Sure would come in handy after hurricanes.

You’re assuming I didn’t because… ?

Because “find irksome” is present tense.

blocking happened and wasn’t enough

Care to be less mysterious?

“No thanks” to any social media under Zuckerberg.

Early on, I made a request to be on the invite list, and never heard anything. Registration is wide open now, and has been for a while.

And, you don’t just block them because…?
