The fun thing here is how these sorts of accounts have erased not one but two ceasefires now that the Biden admin did actually achieve in order to blame them for developments since the most recent ceasefire that pretty clearly fall under the responsibility of Trump.

If you read the court documents, there was no working camera near Epsteins cell. 8 of 9 cameras were not working at the facility, and the working one was nowhere near Epstein's cell. It's a cover-up, but the cameras are not the path.

YES. I've been saying we need to connect the Epstein coverup to the oligarchy -because that's what billionaires do. They use people's bodies and throw them away - whether cheap labor or rape. They believe they are entitled to our bodies, and Trump is covering up his role in that.
