Ghislaine Maxwell to seek release from prison: court filing

In the new gilded ballroom? Swanky halfway house.

Her daddy died.

Assuming you're unaware, she's actually from the UK.

I believe you missed a key word while being so ridiculously xenophobic.

Rare?

Democrats have a pattern of vocally opposing issues only after they irreparably solidify them.

In 1986 they helped pass draconian drug laws and mandatory minimums that supercharged mass incarceration, then decades later turned around and branded the “war on drugs” a moral failure.

In 1994 they wrote and championed the crime bill that funded more cages and longer sentences; only once whole communities were gutted did it become fashionable for them to “reckon” with mass incarceration.

In 1996 they joined Republicans to “end welfare as we know it,” slapping work requirements and time limits on poor families, then years later started admitting it deepened extreme poverty.

That same ’90s crew pushed NAFTA and the broader free-trade consensus that helped ship industrial jobs overseas, then reinvented themselves as champions of the working class once the damage was locked in.

They joined in financial deregulation at the end of the decade, tearing down New Deal banking walls, and after the 2008 crash, suddenly discovered the virtues of regulation.

On social issues it’s the same story: they crafted “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and passed DOMA, then only when public opinion flipped did they pretend they’d always been on the side of LGBT rights.

They voted for the 2002 Iraq AUMF and let Bush have his war, then spent the next decade calling it a catastrophic mistake.

They backed the 2006 Secure Fence Act to harden the southern border, then later denounced wall-style politics as cruel and nativist.

So no, Epstein Island wasn’t some weird one-off “bipartisan moment.” Bipartisanship is the rule whenever it comes to locking people up, bombing someone, cutting social supports, or serving corporate interests, and Democrats in particular have a long record of helping build the machinery first and only discovering their consciences after it’s too late to dismantle it. At least the Republicans consistently tell you they hate you to your face.

You don't get it. The minority party somehow has the power to do whatever they want; they just don't because they're exactly as bad as Republicans.

/S

They already redacted names from the speed dial and words (names?) in another photo from those photos released the other day. If they finally release this shit it will be heavily redacted. That's why it was slow-walked, to give time to make sure everyone who matters is protected.

I'm reminded of Jon Ronson's observation in "So You've Been Publicly Shamed", that the religious right are surprisingly tolerant of sexual misconduct scandals in a way that progressives aren't.

If you had to pick just one, who do you think is more important to "get", the billionaires that funded and protected her and Jeffry's scheme, or her particularly?

Re-imprisonment or the dropping of protections could make her talk.

If she's out of prison she dies within a year, killed either by an assassin from one of the billionaires, or by a helpful intelligent volunteer like yourself.

Yeah brother! Don’t unignore him because he isn’t undumb!
