Go look at the photos and tell me that everyone is overreacting. If anything people are under reacting. After the 3-4th blacked out little girl showing her genitals so they can be sold, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if someone is connected to the island they need to be thoroughly investigated. That’s not a stretch. Replies like yours are what’s sick downplaying the most prolific industrial child rape in…

I haven't seen those photos. Are they so bad that they justify smearing someone who was only mentioned in a huge trove and regardless of context? Will I go into a righteous omnidirectional rage if I see them too?

I didn’t smear anyone. I said I stopped my rewatch.

After investigating Jerry further, yeah dating a 17 year old high schooler and picking her up after school is equal distressing.

So thank you for your astute analysis and defense of a person who drove to a high school to have a physical relationship 21 years younger but I’ll hold off on watching Seinfeld for now. If that’s not too controversial.

How low we have become to do nothing about it? No arrests no convictions?

Pam Bondi said if the DOJ went after everyone the whole system would collapse is why.

Actually, no she didn't, but a lot of people are saying she did.

The amount of breathless conclusion jumping from citizen journalists has been completely bananas as well. I had to tell a friend of mine to take a break from it. The level of tinfoil hat theories (example: cannibalism) which people are now taking as the truth off of which to build more theories is really something. The unfortunate thing is - in our current environment, the crazy speculation and knowingly dealing in j…

> The amount of breathless conclusion jumping from citizen journalists has been completely bananas as well. I saw a video on Instagram claiming (or at least insinuating) that Epstein had access to all of Lifetouch's photos, because "the company is in the Epstein files!". Turns out, it was a single line item for $109 in what looked like banking records. In comparison, that same selection of files mentioned Whole Foods…

This is a criminally colluding Pam Bondi saying this. I guarantee that every single person on the Epstein list is replaceable many times over. There is not a single person on that list that is indispensable in any role they play in society. Full stop. Don't fall for it.

It's just the way the system is built. Even Pam Bondi is replaceable (and should be replaced) by many, many actual qualified people.

Jack Blanchard in the Politico podcast (almost as good as Odd Lots if you're fine with listening to stuff at 2x speed on commutes) remarked that one of the most important aspects of the response to the publicization of the first 2% of the Epstein Files is that it may be a watershed moment where the better parts of citizen journalism have become completely competitive with institutional journalism, due heavily to the…
