At least once a week in my feed get the MAGA post that says if Obama or Biden had Epstein evidence against Trump, they would have used it against him. Nonsense. Epstein used Trump to launder Russian and probably other crime money through his golf club memberships and condominiums. For Trump, a recidivist welch who could no longer go to a legitimate bank for loans, this was easy access to lots of cash, albeit very illegal. Not to worry since the FBI and CIA would have known about these transactions and likely helped facilitate them in many cases. These are the same people who encouraged Colombian cocaine kingpins to invest their profits in NASDAQ for fuck’s sake. Revealing Trump’s crimes while concealing the government’s role would have been tricky at best. Ironic that, Trump’s role as a Deep State operative not to be revealed. That left a bust for sexual predation, which Epstein well documented in images and video. But you can’t produce visual evidence of one man’s crimes within this cesspool without reasonable people asking, “Who are the others?” They didn’t want to go there so Garland, like several gutless Attorneys General before him, chose to kick the scum-covered can down the road. The US Government has provided cover for Epstein-enabled degenerates for 30-odd years, whether their name is Trump or not. But not willing to leave well enough alone, and true to his deep idiocy, a Trump campaign plank was to open the files, apparently confident he could scrub 40,000 mentions of his name before the release. He doubled down by hiring actual morons to oversee the files, based primarily on their years of screaming into podcast microphones that the files prove beyond doubt the Clintons, various Jews and rich blacks are depraved. When his chosen imbeciles looked at the actual evidence, who was involved, and what crimes beside pedophilia went on unabated long after Epstein’s laughable trafficking conviction, you may have heard them gasp. Not Bondi, she was Florida’s AG when Epstein was busted and apparently attended some of his gatherings as a young woman. If you wonder why Kash Patel always looks bug-eyed when questioned about Epstein, he is either unable to get his head around the depth of depravity the files reveal and the names involved, or is absolutely gobsmacked that he was installed to exculpate it all. Alas, I think the Epstein files will follow 9/11 and the Kennedy/King assassinations into the black hole of unproven and partially proven “conspiracy theories” (like the shit didn’t really happen). Smoking guns spoil the fun. MSM, which has always been state media and is now more consolidated than ever, will do its best to ensure that happens. It’s an international story, so maybe some enterprising journalist in Andorra or Botswana will follow the millions of unredacted threads (no damning pornographic video or pictures allowed) to form a cohesive narrative. Only to be found having committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head, twice.

The way things are going …if you want a new fridge at an affordable price the ones with ads will be your only choice. This is peak late stage capitalism with no consumer protections or anti monopoly practices in place

Every time.

Damn.

I applied online and got it. Pure luck. My boss liked my resume as I was a very different candidate from the rest of the phds.

You must not be a Harvard MBA in charge of Apple Marketing.

Life sucks. Then you die.

Technically it’s the only kind of correct. Technically.

Thee term ice cube transcends something as limiting as three dimensional space.

I manage a service engineering team for semiconductor equipment.

I did this right out of college. I’m not sure if it was the LNAPL measurements or the asbestos abatements but I really needed to get out of that industry.

This hotel bar has way too many people at it.

I asked what I can do to protect my family from climate change.

To protect your family from the potential impacts of climate change, you can take several actions:Educate yourself and your family: Learn about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate its impacts. Share this knowledge with your family members and encourage them to be more mindful of their environmental footprint.Reduce your carbon footprint: Make an effort to reduce your family’s greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using LED light bulbs, turning off electronics when not in use, and driving less.Conserve resources: Encourage your family to conserve water, recycle, and reduce waste. These actions can help to reduce your family’s overall environmental impact.Support renewable energy: Consider installing solar panels or using other renewable energy sources in your home. Additionally, support policies and initiatives that promote the development and use of renewable energy.Get involved in your community: Join or support local organizations and initiatives that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This can help to create a broader movement for change and can also provide opportunities for your family to learn and take action together.Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest news and research on climate change and its impacts. This can help you and your family to make informed decisions and stay engaged in the issue.Remember, small actions can make a big difference, and by working together as a family, you can help to protect yourselves and future generations from the effects of climate change.

It gave a reasonable answer and didn’t discount it as a scam.
