Your current president literally raped a woman in 1993. Her name is Tara Reade.

doctorcrimson ,

Tara Reade’s story is purely hearsay, and she didn’t come forward until Biden was running for president 26 years later.

All that stuff about Obama is whataboutism and honestly the man looks like a saint compared to Trump and Bush.

Attacking the victim and defending the rapist is precisely what I’d expect from somebody like you.

Listen, I can say that any number of past employers raped me, but why does that alone constitute evidence? Tara Reade has plenty enough to gain from lying, and nobody who worked there corroborates the claim. They even called it absurd.

There is plenty of collaborating evidence to her claims and what you think she had to gain from chuds like you making her life hell as result I have no idea. You’ve exposed yourself as an utter piece of human garbage here.

My point is very clear, if people want Epstein’s list of associates and people who paid him to see justice, then they need to vote accordingly, and definitely NOT for the guy who was good friends with Epstein and visited his island many times.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Everybody on the list should be prosecuted, why aren’t the democrats doing that?

doctorcrimson ,

First of all, if a hearing is held in congress and not by the DOJ, then you’re absolutely expecting too much to think anything will be done for justice of past crimes. I don’t think the Senate or House can do anything on this topic other than keep the government funded. Historically, Congress has never shown the capacity to prosecute outside of changing how laws are enforced, which is moot because everything Epstein did is already illegal.

Second, I assure you there are active investigations to many of the names in the list, but not much incriminating evidence was found for the more than a thousand people he had some form of contact with over the last couple of years due to their discreet methods of conducting business. A lot of relevant court documents only recently became unsealed since trials started in 2016. Many new contacts were revealed at the end of the Virgin Islands Civil Lawsuit as well. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years, Sarah Kellen could be next as Federal Judges have expressed interest in charging her as early as the conclusion of the Maxwell trials in January 2022, JP Morgan have spent 13.8 Million USD on legal fees in the case and will pay 290 Million in reparations for facilitating the financial side of Epstein’s business, Deutsche Bank will pay 75 Million, etc. To claim that nothing has happened and nothing is being done is ignorance.

As much as some people would love to blame and execute Bill Clinton, for example, all he ever did was borrow the man’s plan on a trip to various charity medical sites across Africa that Epstein was unrelated to. So then where do you draw the line? Epstein made it his business to go to parties and shake hands with the influential. He disguised himself as a wealthy venture capitalist for over 2 decades before being outed as a trafficker.

In fact, almost half of Maxwell’s charges were dropped because there wasn’t enough concrete evidence and some of the charges overlapped with a previous conviction where they were granted immunity in a plea deal for state level charges. That’s how hard it is to get a conviction for a crime with only witness testimony. It’s like pulling nails. But it can be done.

Nothing is actually happening, and I don’t know what you think I’m wrong about. You’re just making up excuses for why nobody has been prosecuted so far.

All your oligarchs are the same and your country is an utter lawless shithole where the rich do whatever they want.

    For real. I have a lot of problems right now, and there’s not a single one of those problems that can’t be solved with an adequate amount of money.

    I, like I think a lot of people, fantasize about winning the lottery not because I’m desperate to live in a mansion or to have a $500k sports car in my driveway, but because I dream of watching all my problems absolutely evaporate before my eyes.

    Azzu ,

    What are some of these problems, if I may ask?

    NaoPb ,

    Probably things like living paycheck to paycheck. Needing a new washing machine or some other device but not being able to afford that yet. Not being able to have your car repaired or buy a car so you have to use public transport and walk long distances to get to your work.

    I mean that’s what I imagine. A little money would make those problems go away. But when your paycheck only covers your rent, bills and food, you never get to save up for things.

    Azzu ,

    I mean I can imagine those things as well :) But I was still interested in the specific person and not some abstract possibilities :)

    I have a disability and I’m a student so I have zero physical or mental energy to have a job next to my almost full time study. I used to just be broke all the time. I found out there’s a city government fund for people exactly like me, and it honestly so fucking crazy what that extra 300 euros a month does. It’s not just that I can afford necessities and something fun once in a while but it gives so much peace of mind. One of my cats was sick a few months ago and I could just take her to the vet and have her blood work done without having to stress about it.

    HubertManne ,

    xactly. Any other problems are usually self made or if not then the money still can ameliorate them greatly. Like being crippled. Better to have a nice house, someone to come clean, with stair lift and such than to be on the streets with a tiny tim crutch.

    True, but do you see anyone rewarding the character in this comic/meme? Nope. That’s because he isn’t greedy, he is just anxious.

    When a billionaire wants more, or a corporation, THAT is a display of greed. Which is rewarded.

    Only if you don't know what Cloudlfare does. It protects against all kinds of attacks.

    foggy ,

    Yeah this post is nearly upsettingly ignorant.

    Cloudflare is just about the only big internet company out there objectively doing good things for the Internet.

    planish ,

    Right now.

    But everybody is also moving into their castle. Many for free.

    They are not allowed to let people do that unless they have an argument that, somehow, this makes money for the owners of Cloudflare. Maybe that’s in the form of good publicity. Maybe they’re hoping to set up some tollbooths at the castle gate, once enough people are inside and the other options have withered for lack of customers.

    foggy ,

    They have existed for over a decade wtf are you on about. They’re publicly traded and doing very well.

    This is more nonsense in a thread full of nonsense.

    planish ,

    That suggests they’re less likely to try to frantically monitize in a way that risks killing their brand’s reputation. Maybe they’ll stay nice indefinitely.

    BACK IN MY DAY WE BROUGHT RIFLES TO GAME TO TAUNT THE PLAYERS

    spacesweedkid27 ,

    Maybe their point is just privatisation or something.

    For example a dns provider like cloudfare just could artificially make latency costs for servers that don’t agree with something cloudfare does bigger, which would result in them being less likely to be displayed in a search result because a search engine would have IP adresses faster from other servers. This obviously depends on if a search engine makes dns requests or just provides hostnames for the end user.

    Most of the time that a site is using Cloudflare you’ve likely not noticed and it has improved your experience.

    taanegl ,

    You’re all circle jerking around the problem. Proxy DNS and CDN’s should be decentralised into standard protocols and not centralised into one company, for what should be obvious reasons (privacy being one of them).

    I use CloudFlare on my websites and I feel like I don’t have a choice. The fact that it’s free to use proxy DNS is the kicker here, and the big selling point behind the DDoS protections. But the milliseconds CF DNS and page caching shave off page loads is also dangerous, because now it becomes mandatory if your websites are actually competing against someone else.

    Again: this is a single entity, a single point of failure and in effect a monopoly. We don’t just get to use it, we have to use it.

    Of course one can’t complain unless one has made an effort to do something about it, like I dunno, make a national version of CloudFlare?

    Mwahahahaha! Didn’t like that one, did you?!? Soon that will be mandatory and departments that investigate will honeypot your ass when they need a some justification for taking your in for a little private interrogation… wait, no, GO BACK!!

    Okay, so protocols. Hard as fuck, static as hell. Yes? But, decentralised. Si? DNS proxying and content caches are staples of the modern internet. Content go quick, content go real quick ya. All we need to do is figure out a way to facilitate those things without having to rely on a single company.

    I have been some schmuck on the internet and this was my TL;DR.

    Your experience as an end user is only available because cloudflare exists. That’s why your end user opinion doesn’t matter, because bad actors are constantly trying to ruin the internet and cloudflare is the gatekeeper. As a server owner I need security at the door to keep our illegal activity. Your opinion of “I don’t like security at the door” is dually noted and immediately thrown away.

    From the studies I’ve read, this seems to be the case across the entire school system, not just university. If anything, it might even affect K-12 even more, since, the younger we are, the more sleep we need.

    Nevertheless, I had my most challenging class 8am my freshman year of college and yeah, can confirm—it was horrific.

    In retrospect, maybe it didn’t help that I was out partying til 3am every day too, but that’s a different story… (Jp, I was actually very diligent about it, but still couldn’t crack the formula. It was simply too early.)

    For all of middle school, I would to wake up at 4:30 to catch the bus that arrived anytime between 5:30 and 6:25 to get to school at 7:15. And i wonder why my sleep is so fucked today, and why I was always too tired to focus on anything back then.
