        Epstein also had condos at his brother’s building in NYC that were ready to host guests, whenever the opportunity was needed. Not everyone got the full island experience. Some just raped kids in a nice condo.

          What’s up with Epstein’s brother? He obviously knows a lot about what Jeff was up to.

          NONE of these people have been properly investigated, not during ANY president’s administration. They’ve ALL helped cover this up.

    Tillis’s snubbing is particularly nasty given that he made a big fuss about not voting for Blanche’s confirmation unless he met with Epstein survivors. Blanche did eventually meet with survivors, but it did not go well, as survivors reported he told them to “get to the point” and to talk to the FBI instead. Survivor Danielle Bensky called the meeting “a box-checking exercise to secure Tillis’ vote,” and noted he “offered no meaningful explanation for how the redaction failures happened, who approved the release, or what steps he would take to prevent survivors from being exposed again.”

    Is anyone really surprised? This country has always been for the powerful, by the powerful. “Fuck the people.” is their response to our lives daily.

      Performative is always good enough for MAGA. They just need to be able to say “You wanted him to meet with the Liars…I mean “Survivors” (air quotes)…and he did. Now keep your promise, and confirm him!”

      They’re all about the Technicalities.

      Because the survivors are all far too old for them to have any interest in now. If they still looked like they did in those pictures they often hold up of themselves as children they’d all be invited in any time.

      They aren’t Republicans, they’re all MAGA now.

      Republicans’ basic tenets were Lower Taxes, Smaller Government, Family Values, Fiscal Economic Policy

      MAGA doesn’t believe in ANY of that, except lower taxes, but ONLY for the uber wealthy. MAGA’s core tenets are Corruption, Treason, Racism, Misogyny, Violence, Incompetence, Ignorance, and Pedophilia - Prove me wrong.

      The Republican Party is as dead as the Whigs, and should only be referred to in a scholarly or historical manner. They are ALL MAGA now.

      But Yes, MAGAs are all Traitors. And Pedophiles.
