    I mean if your company is owned or adminstrated by an epstein associate they should be forced to put up a sign and register as a sex offender (corporations are people, after all).

    I want to announce that everyone in the Epstein files is banned from my house, with the exception of Bill Gates, who was already banned and is now double banned.

      How stunning and brave of you to stand up for what is right.

      Clearly those in the files will feel the hot wrath of justice by not being able to ever go over to your place for Hot Pockets and Capri Suns.

            You make them like normal but add more allspice than you’d think is reasonable. And a bit of smoked paprika on the ganoush. And don’t skimp on the olive oil. I’m talking

            Also, broil the eggplants after they’re done, before you scoop the goodness out (you can also barbeque them). And don’t blend them, you want that weird texture.

            Serve with pita and little boats of celery, carrots. bell pepper, onion, whatever you want that is crunchy and can scoop globs of them

      When you’re a global criminal organization, you ensure immunity by blackmailing and/or extorting every single person in a position of power as much as possible. There’s a reason these monsters have gotten away with it–and continue to get away with it–for so damn long

      That fucker ruined Linguistics too — he was in friendly terms with Noam Chomsky.

      Personally I am not aware on how much Chomsky should be blamed for this association; it’s possible Epstein was simply using him. But even in the hypothesis Chomsky is innocent, it stinks.

        When Chomsky was asked what he corresponded with epstein about years ago, he said essentially “none of your fucking business”.

        Which is such a bad answer, I am half inclined to believe he just wanted help filing his taxes and a guilty Chomsky would have the sense to lie.

          Yup, that sounds like him. He isn’t above bullshitting but not bothering to bullshit hints he believed he had nothing to hide.

          I guess he’s still in the “when in doubt, treat them as innocent” category for me.

      Sadly there’s a lot of intelectuals that were involved, Lawrence Krauss, Noem Chomsky, Steven Hawking just scratching the surface.

      Fuck you, stop giving him power he doesn’t have.

      He didn’t ruin or tarnish all of paleontology. He can’t.

        You have literally gone from persecuting child rapists to persecuting people who might be child rapists to people who might be associated with people who might be child rapists. You’re literally persecuting paleontologists. That’s insane.

        If I was going to fuck up a society or make a big distraction this is probably how I do it.

        Hook them with the worst thing in the world. Get them pointing fingers at each other. And while they’re distracted, fuck with Greenland or something

          People directly corresponding with and doing business with someone after they have been convicted of raping and trafficking literal children is a bit beyond association. That’s not hard to comprehend. They’re not taking them to court, they’re choosing to have nothing to do with them.

          You’ve got some boot polish on your nose, there.

    It constantly amazes me how righteously passionate people can get. About people they never met, stuff they never saw, things they know about only pecause the professional rabble-rousers told them so.

    My respect level drops.

      Moral standards matter; even if you never met the victim, or saw the abuse happening, and the source is (like you said) “professional rabble-rousers”.

      I think the DinoCon is doing the right thing.

    That is commendable.
    Genuinely curious if they had the same resolve when it comes to the genociders and those affiliated with them.
