(17,239 posts)Says Trump told her he would show her how little girls should behave at which point she bit the shit out of his dick. Good for her. That is character and courage right there. No mercy for anyone in the Epstein Files.
I finally started looking at the Epstein Files as lately I am gearing up for a longstanding conflict. Sexual harassment and maltreatment of women are a big part of it and so obviously the Epstein Files are important. An open secret showing the depravity of what passes for elite.
Immigration is a messy issue. I myself have issues with the Cato/Koch brothers/Tech creep model of immigration to the US which is cruel to both the 90,000 immigrants languishing in hells and generally a disaster as it relies on ignoring the limits to growth and using human overpopulation in the global south as a source of disposable lives based on my experiences and those of others.
And many American immigrant success stories (Vinod Khosla, Priscilla Chan, Clare Wu, Fei Fei Li, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Rana Al Khalouby, Ragy Thomas, Vincent Palathingal, Shalab Kumar, Mitesh Bohra etc.) are people who are driving a race to the bottom in every part of the world. Those people are often a disgrace in any non-superficial sense in such an unequal world, just as much as other immigrants are a credit to any country they would be in. One size cannot fit all.
This is someone I respect and he came back to India (Hemant Kappanna). The Volkswagen Whistleblower and he did not make it there. So immigration is not discussed honestly whereas if instead of canned statements, it were discussed honestly, it would humanize both immigrants and non-immigrants.

Anyway, either way, this is the rape of a child. And it is generally viewed as credible as far as I can tell. I felt really bad for that young woman when I read about her. These girls have character and courage, which is more than I can say about a subset of those who pass for elite.

(They were researching telepathy (
). V.S.Ramachandran apparently had no problem with accepting funding from Epstein and thought UCSD admins would be thrilled at a large donation. Deepak Chopra (
) was also involved. The whole story is disgusting and inane. These creeps are elite scientists? Or whatever the hell Deepak Chopra is aside from a successful charlatan?)
