    One could note that, since this man was arrested and so far none of the folks named in the Epstein files have been, they consider speaking for a few seconds past the allotted time to be a worse crime than sexually abusing children for decades.

      Have you ever seen a chart like this, that look at the 3 stages of matter, based on temperature and pressure?

      The propensity for a crime to lend you arrested is proportional to its gravity, like higher temperature on the chart being proportional to water turning gaseous.

      But then how wealthy you are is like pressure: it completely pushes the boiling (arresting) point away…

      Idk if it’s a good analogy, I’m tired

    Remember kids: police exist to protect the corporations, and are little more than the foot soldiers of the ruling socio-economic ethnic group.

      Police are to society like HR is to workers.

      They are not there for you, they are there to serve and protect their masters and enforce their masters will against the rest of us.
