There are no laws. We made the whole thing up.
I really hope thats true, because so far, it hasn’t been.
I can’t remember where I found it, but there’s a paper or book somewhere that basically states that, in systems of oppression, exceptions to the law for a select elite are not only common, but fundamental to how systems of oppression work.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Oh yes, the famous bastions of conservatism surrounding Epstein, like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Woody Allen!
As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic, thoughtless talking points we so often criticize the right for.
Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You’ve clearly nailed it.
Nuanced thinking doesn’t win popularity contests. At best, it only really exists in academia, and even then not that often.
Tired thoughtless ragebait talking points does. Nuanced thinking is the opposite of a ‘rallying cry’ that so many on the left, and the right, use to motivate their constituencies.
Yet those constituencies are consistently manipulated to act against their best interests by rallying cries and similar polarizing behavior, and pointing it out goes as well as it did here. Most days, I question if humans are intelligent enough to govern themselves. Evidence increasingly points to no.
Go for it, be the change you want to see. Say something critical and nuanced.
LOL that’s a lot of words with absolutely no meaning. It’s just posturing for the crowd, like a child.
Are you reacting to what you typed out, and then typed this instead? I can’t tell what you’re reacting to. My comment? It wasn’t a lot of words, and they have the same meaning they had when you used them. So I guess you were just posturing for the crowd?
I mean, that’s how human beings work. The boss isn’t going to hold himself accountable to his own policies… how many bosses have you had that don’t make exceptions to the rule for themselves?
The good ones are the ones who make exceptions for other people, and the bad ones are the ones who only do it for themselves.
Heh. Epstein 2007 plea deal granted non-prosecution to his co-conspirators. The prosecution literally said that everyone else involved is above the law.
Wasn’t the prosecutor of that in the files?
Alex Acosta became the US Secretary of Labor for the Lumpty Trumpty administration.
On 25 August 2025 the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Acosta requesting his testimony in the Epstein file. His name was not in the initial batch of subpoenas the committee sent out in August, which included Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. His testimony was on September 19.[57] During his September 2025 testimony, Acosta said he did not recall any discussions of “potential financial crimes” in the Epstein investigation. In October 2025, Bloomberg News uncovered email correspondence that showed that Acosta’s office did discuss financial crimes and that Acosta was copied on correspondence about it. Records related to the financial crimes investigation were stored in a folder titled, “Money Laundering.”[26]
Acosta announced that the Trump administration maintained a goal of one million new apprentices. Following Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, on sex trafficking charges, Alexander Acosta faced fresh calls to resign.[82] He resigned as Secretary of Labor effective July 19, 2019.[83] President Trump, standing next to Acosta, said he would have been willing to have him remain.[84][85] Trump said “This was him, not me” and called him a “great, great secretary”.[84][85]
He must be referring to Luigi’s law.
‘No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law’
Oh, I get it! It’s funny because it’s not true! Ha ha!
Well, you say that…
Too bad they have literal zero intention of doing anything else other than complaining
The evidence says otherwise but okay…
Have these experts not heard of America?
“… except when you are a billionaire or you have bribed Trump.”
No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law
Aww, I too enjoy some wholesome fiction.
Trump says no. Trump says it’s okay for people like him to rape kids.
That’s it. That’s what’s going on right now. Welcome to dystopia.
Sorry to go all grammarnacionalesozcialistsk but it’s “No one is too wealthy/powerful for the law to apply to them” or “No one is wealthy/powerful enough to be above the law”. These people are supposed to have English degrees…
