“Jeffrey Epstein was furious. For years, he had relied on the billionaire Leon Black as his primary source of income, advising him on everything from taxes to his world-class art collection. But by 2016, Mr. Black seemed to be reluctant to keep paying him tens of millions of dollars a year.
So Mr. Epstein threw a tantrum. One of Mr. Black’s other financial advisers had created “a really dangerous mess,” Mr. Epstein wrote in an email to Mr. Black. Another was “a waste of money and space.” He even attacked Mr. Black’s children as “r*tard*d” for supposedly making a mess of his estate. The typo-strewn tirade was one of dozens of previously unreported emails reviewed by The New York Times in which Mr. Epstein hectored Mr. Black, at times demanding tens of millions of dollars beyond the $150 million he had already been paid. The pressure campaign appeared to work. Mr. Black, who for decades was one of the richest and highest-profile figures on Wall Street, continued to fork over tens of millions of dollars in fees and loans, albeit less than Mr. Epstein had been seeking.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/business/jeffrey-epstein-leon-black.html?smid=nytcore-android-share |

They voted for him because they are dippy idiots who think that's all "fake" when we know it's not. |
Politics aside - hundreds of girls were SAed and raped by powerful men. They all need to be held accountable for these horrific crimes. Politically - Don is the only one who is teflon. No matter how much evidence against him, he will not face consequences. But he has surrounded himself with people who are complicit and/or participants in all this. They will all go down when the files come out. Nobody left to blackmail. Best case, this will cause him to return to his 1st term self, and surround himself with at least some people who actually know how government functions and have political careers to protect. |

Police are investigating reports that Prince Andrew allegedly asked his protection officer to uncover personal information about accuser Virginia Giuffre

Didn't Virginia warn those close to her that if she was found dead, she had not committed suicide? I thought I read something shortly before she died that she stated someone was trying to kill her. The news was cloaked in wording suggesting she was mentally unwell. |
| So are they going to release the files or are we just not going to have a Congress anymore? |
Yup another week of a closed government but they can ignore those annoying files |

Giuffere's book had already taken down a British Prince and a British aristocrat. It will also take down an American president. Judging by how quickly the two in England were downed, I don't give trump a lot of time before he toppled.
