    What frustrates me about Epstein is that everyone just wants to find out who was gooning on teenage girls: hopefully their political enemies. The real lesson we should have been learning was not “who was a creep”, rather “why are wealthy creeps allowed to get away with shit like this”?

    I feel like a scandal of rich privilege could have been helpful for the Nation, oh well.

    The party running on moral bankruptcy, does something morally bankrupt. Voters who vote for it are mildly outraged, but will keep voting for them because of morals.

      We have been slowly boiling in a pot of irony since the 90s. It’s really fucked a lot of people up, IMO.

    Am I the only one who thinks that getting rick rolled is something that should’ve been stopped in like the 90s??
