My hopeful prediction as Trump's past gets exposed. [View all]

It's about the other names that come up. It wasn't just Trump. It's disheartening to see how the elite continued to contact Epstein in the days he was incarcerated. I'm getting a picture of a fraternal order of the rich and famous. So, what happens when we see the big picture? Powerful, wealthy people whose business ties are bonded by blackmail. That's what I suspect we'll find. And when someone is blackmailed, it doesn't seem to be a once and done. It looks like they become a trusted member of this despicable social order where wealth begets wealth.

Now, keeping that in mind, doesn't this make Trump's redistribution of taxpayer money to the wealthy, even more damning?

In sum, I hope we can focus on this deviant and dysfunctional social order when the time comes to tax the billionaires. Their society embraces the worst of human nature, and we just can't survive with them dicking us around anymore.
