Storms of Empathy and Rage

It’s been one hell of a week on top of so many hellish weeks and months. 

My health has been stupid this winter and not with dramatic tumor related bullshit either. I’m used to battling that garbage. It’s the normal slings and arrows of outrageous aging that’s throwing me off. Don’t I have enough on my plate? Shouldn’t I get a pass on this other crap?

Yes, yes I damn well should.

Beyond my health crap is, of course, the havoc being rained down on us by Prez Pedo and his crew of sycophantic, desperately myopic, greedheaded, drugged up, control freaking fucks.

This story of Nurul Amin Shah Alam just about broke me. This is the nearly blind Rohingya (Rakhine State, Myanmar) man who spoke no English. He had been dumped by ICE outside a closed coffee shop in Buffalo, NY on a frigid night after he’d been held for almost a year. He didn’t have a guide dog or a walking stick. His family hadn't been called to pick him up. It was below freezing. He had no shoes, only the orange booties from ICE lock-up.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam is dead now. Of course he is! Presumably he froze to death. He was only 56 years old. 

If not for Ten, Jen, and Oni taking such amazingly good care of me, that could be me. I’m so very lucky. Why me and not him?

In other news, here are some highlights from the Guardians of Pedophiles’ absurd closed-door session with Hillary Clinton yesterday. 

First, I really gotta ask, WHY are these jokers pretending to investigate Hillary for anything to do with Epstein? How is grilling her relevant to anything ANYWHERE?! Oh, that’s right – these are Republicans and governing is nothing more than Gaslight Theater for them.

Anyway – key moments:

1. ‘Who is being protected?
“I don’t know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein,” Clinton told reporters after her deposition. “I never went to his island. I never went to his homes. I never went to his offices. 

“If the majority was serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions. There is too much that needs to be done. What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up?” she said.
~~~
2. ‘I started being asked about UFOs’
… Late into the session, questions are said to have veered off course. “It got quite unusual,” Clinton told reporters, “because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories”.
~~~
3. Session briefly derailed by leaked photo
The deposition of Clinton was interrupted when Lauren Boebert, a Republican member of the committee, leaked a photo from the room. Conservative influencer Benny Johnson published the image on social media platform X stating that Clinton “does not look happy”.
~~~
4. ‘Ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files’
Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the committee, told reporters that Trump and his commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, should testify over their ties with Epstein.
~~~
5. Clinton confident her husband knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes
Asked by a reporter on Thursday if she was “100% confident” her husband was unaware of Epstein’s crimes when he spent time with him before the late sex offender’s first arrest, Hillary Clinton responded: “I am, and I think the chronology of the connection that he had with … Epstein ended years, several years before anything about Epstein’s criminal activities came to light.”

The ONLY reason she’s being grilled is because she’s a favorite punching bag for Republicans. Those rake stepping dumbfucks keep thinking she’ll be an easy victim since she’s just a chick. HAH! You absolute rake stepping fools! 

Ms. Clinton, the former US secretary of state, the former first lady, the former lawyer is far more intelligent, savvier, cannier than any of these ridiculous, half-wit, posturing fools who think they’re gonna pull a fast one on her.

I need to find a really good book to disappear into. I just can’t reality today.

Epstein loopholes and Fast Karma

 Just in case you weren’t sure, yes, Republicans are in fact the party of pedophiles. Top to bottom.

In Bakersfield, California, a former county supervisor was busted last year for sexually abusing at least one of his children. He was charged with felony child abuse and the illegal possession of assault weapons. Sounds like a real peach, eh? Totally the kind of guy you want as your dad and as a neighbor, right?

His name is Zack Scrivner and he was granted mental health diversion on December 19, 2025. What’s a mental health diversion, you ask?

Under California law, mental health diversion allows eligible defendants with diagnosed mental health disorders to receive treatment instead of incarceration. If successfully completed, charges can be dismissed and records sealed. (source) 

California State Senator Shannon Grove held a press conference yesterday to announce Senate Bill 1373, a bill designed to limit certain crimes from being eligible for mental health diversion.

“However well-intended the program was, it did not come with enough guardrails and has become a ‘get-out-of-jail-free card’ for violent offenders across our state,” Grove said. (source) 

Seems to me you shouldn’t be able to claim the “Epstein loophole,” as it’s been dubbed, when your mental health disorder is self-induced. Zack “was under the influence of drugs.” Did he go with Adderall, Trump’s amphetamine of choice or Musk’s fave, ketamine? Maybe he just went with regular old, off the street coke?

In HAH, HAH, HAH, karma’s my favorite bitch news, we have the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team, who yucked it up at Prez Pedo’s misogynistic “joke.” 

After the US men’s ice hockey team won gold on Sunday, Trump called into the locker-room celebration and invited the players to be his guests at Tuesday’s State of the Union address.

“I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” he said. “You do know that. I do believe I probably would be impeached [if the women’s team wasn’t invited].” Several of the men’s players were captured laughing at Trump’s comments in a video that later went viral. (source) 

So, they laughed at his we-have-to-humor-the-emotional-little-ladies “joke” and accepted the felonious fuck's invite to lunch at the White House.

He had the staff serve them cold McDonald’s cheeseburgers (not even Big Macs, fer fucks sake) still in their paper wrappers – no plates, no fries, and bottled water. I’m guessing they were provided little plastic ketchup packs. 

Classy. Amirite?

I only mention it but the last time the U.S. Men’s Team won the gold medal was 46 years ago – 1980. Before that? 1960. They did win silver in 2010, 2002, and waaaay back in 1972, 1956, 1952, 1932, 1924, and 1920 though.

The U.S. Women’s team? Gold in 2026, 2018, and 1998. Silver in 2022, 2014, 2010, an 2002. Bronze in 2006. Women's ice hockey was only introduced in 1998. The women's team seem to be doing pretty damn well, eh?

Flavor Flav of the hip hop group Public Enemy is hosting the women’s team in Vegas and has been rallying up other businesses around the city to join in. 

I’m not keen on Vegas BUT, if I was a gold medal winning hockey player, I’d rather be dining on well prepared fresh food, served on china in chandelier lit rooms versus cold, paper wrapped crap tossed on a conference room table in an overly bright, cramped, windowless closet.

Maybe that’s just me though?

Not Dead Yet

 This was my very first convo with Ten this morning.

I hear tell some putrescent old pedophile in fluorescent orange makeup gave a grandstanding, self-congratulatory speech last night. It was, supposed to be a State of the Union presentation BUT, given that everything out of his mouth is a complete fabrication, a fairy tale, a flaming house-on-fire lie, an outright con, or a wank…no, it was light years away from that.

My understanding is that last night was just another one of his campaign rallies. It was chock full of his usual ridiculous, over-the-top lies, rabid squirrel-brained racist and jingoistic rants, adolescent level bullying, topped off with extra added deceitful, bullshit baiting embellishments.

The more Trump talked, the less he said. He had gone into the address with an approval rating of 39% positive and 60% negative, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, lower than any past president delivering his first State of the Union address. Over an hour and 47 minutes, he offered little to change that equation. The longest State of the Union speech in history was also one of the most inconsequential. (source) 

Ho hum, nothing new here. According to Silver Bulletin presidential approval ratings Prez Pedo's headed into Toilet Town.

The share of Americans who strongly approve of Trump has dropped from 34 percent when he was inaugurated to just 24 percent today, while the share who strongly disapprove has risen from 31 percent to 45 percent.

I don’t think his Adderall fueled performance last night is going to improve his numbers. Call it a hunch.

Now that the distraction of last night's hoopla is over, we can get back to the horrific evils that he and his crew of barbarous billionaire fucks are wreaking. Like the chain of concentration camps. Pedo, Vance and Stephen Miller are trying to create McDonald's style concentration camps. That is, one in nearly every town.

I only mention it but, in World War II, not all of the Nazi's concentration camps were specifically extermination camps, like Auschwitz or Treblinka. There was a vast network of forced labor camps where prisoners were simply worked to death – exhaustion, starvation, and outrageously unsanitary conditions got them, not Zyklon B. Anne Frank didn't die in a gas chamber. She contracted typhus, spread by lice, in the Bergen-Belsen forced labor camp.

Prez Pedo's team won't ever call their prisons what they really are. That'd be bad PR, bad for the brand and shit.

Meanwhile, here in Valhalla, it’s snowing. Yes…again. Of course it is. It’s February and this is New England. The good news is that I don’t have any doc or physical therapy appointments for another two weeks (!!!) so I can be a happy dry, if housebound slug. I miss staring at the waves up close but I’m definitely fine and dandy with warm dry feet, thenkyewveddymuch.

Blue Butterfly

Blue Butterfly – what does that mean/signify?

There was a memoir – Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, whose publication has been pulled due to threats. 

Virginia Giuffre, the Australian/American Epstein Island survivor who heroically sued Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (and won), sued Ghislaine Maxwell for defamation (settling for an undisclosed sum), accused Alan Dershowitz of sexually abusing her – was an absolute warrior. In December 2014, she set up her organization Victims Refuse Silence (which became Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR)). Its symbol is a blue butterfly.

NOW, it’s come out that ICE is holding teenage girls at the Dilley concentration camp in Southwest Texas. They're held in areas where they can’t be accessed. These areas are titled, by ICE, Blue Butterfly Zones. More than a tiny bit skeevy and sus, don'cha think?

What does this tell you? What it’s telling yurs truly is that ICE is feeding the Trump/GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) abuse pipeline. I'm not at all surprised.

An NPR investigation found that the Justice Department removed or withheld Epstein files related to President Trump. Shocking? Given Perjury Pam’s lying-ass, junior high bully behavior, no. Not at all.

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor. 
~~~
When asked for comment about the missing pages and the accusations against the president, a White House spokeswoman told NPR that Trump "has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him.” (source) 

Pardon me while I throw my head back and laugh uproariously. Do these desperate dimwits think that anyone, aside from their rapidly shrinking idiot redhatted base, actually buys this obvious load of moldy, neon weasel excrement?

In other news, the U.S. ambassador to France, convicted felon, ex-con, Charles Kushner has been banned from meeting with French government officials. Goodness, wouldn’t ya think that’d make doing your ambassador job kind of difficult? What did old Chuckles do to rate this level of censure? 

Apparently the old felon was summoned to explain a comment he posted on not-Twitter about a far-right activist’s death following clashes on the sidelines of a demonstration in Lyon. Chucky pulled a summons no-show. A total Gym Jordon move.

One of the Chucky's comments? 

“Violent radical leftism is on the rise and its role in Quentin Deranque’s death demonstrates the threat it poses to public safety”

His office also called Deranque’s death “France’s Charlie Kirk moment.” They’re conveniently omitting the fact that Kirk’s killer was a Mormon from a deeply Republican family. Kirk’s murder was Right on Right violence.  

And, I only mention it but Chucky’s job as ambassador includes:

Salon des Ambassadeurs, Élysée Palace
Chuckles won’t be in here for awhile. Sucks to be him, eh?

• Acting as the primary channel of communication between the U.S. and French governments.
• Working to expand trade and investment by helping American companies grow in France and facilitating French investment in the U.S..
• Representing U.S. defense interests, including military modernization, counterterrorism, and cyber security collaboration within the NATO alliance.
• Communicating and explaining U.S. foreign policy to the French public and government following clashes on the sidelines of a demonstration in Lyon.

Nowhere in the ambassador’s list of responsibilities does it say that Kush, a man convicted of tax evasion, lying to the Federal Election Commission, making illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering, should be going full metal MAGAt on the people of France.

That witness tampering business? One example:
He hired a prostitute to seduce his own damn brother-in-law, William Schulder, who was cooperating with federal authorities against him. Chucky then sent a video of the encounter to his sister, Esther. Swell brother, eh?

No wonder Trump likes the guy – he’s  a total sleazeball too.

Unlike the U.S. government, the French don’t tolerate this Republican entitled, petulant ignoring of summons and the defiance of lawful subpoenas bullshit.

One last thing: 

Sociologist Isabelle Sommier stressed that of the 57 deaths linked to violence between political groups recorded between 1986 and 2017, the radical right had been responsible for all but five. (source)

I only mention it.

Blizzard Update

From the before blizzard times

Don’t know when the blizzard finally started but it was definitely late, late, late. We were originally told he’d arrive at teatime. Ya know, 4PM but NOOOOOOO! Dude didn't even have the decency to call to let us know he was held up in traffic or whatev.

Around 6PM the wind picked up a bit but it was nothing that those of you who aren’t severely balanced-challenged would think twice about. YES I’m jealous and resentful. What of it!

Fiber artist Emily Engel-Young posted a premature storm update on Threads at 5PM to feed all the disaster junkies. You know, the Catastrophe Connies and Cataclysm Clydes who seem to get an orgasmic thrill or the equivalent of a sustained coke buzz from proximity to calamitous events…as long as said events have little to no real impact on their lives.

Also from the before blizzard times

OR she’s just cheerily mocking how all of us have jumped on this natural, seasonal distraction from the viciously barbarous, manmade debacles that rain down on us every day. Hello Pedophile Administration, I'm talking about YOU!

Yup, I bet that’s it. Anyway...

STORM UPDATE: Flurries have commenced and by 6 PM (midnight or so, in Boston), the living will envy the dead. Accumulations may exceed 40 ft with drifts up to 100 ft. Most buildings will collapse under the crushing weight of the snow. Temps will approach -50° with a wind chill of -10,000° and this is just the beginning. By 9 PM, no trace of human endeavor will remain visible above and what was once the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will now resemble the wind and ice blasted surface of Europa, Jupiter's largest moon.

All of civilization will have collapsed and even the tons of salt poured out upon the roads will be meaningless before the onslaught. By midnight, a small group of survivors, huddled around a dying gas lamp at the weather observatory atop the Berkshire East Ski Area, will peer out through a drift and glimpse a Hellish snowscape from which there is no hope of escape.

Then the wolves will find them.

A few people replied:

Soooo. It’s too late to get eggs, milk, and toilet paper is what you’re saying.

Soooo I might have no work on Tuesday, too?!

Soooo, what you’re telling me is, it's still up in the air?

Here in Valhalla, just three measly miles south of town, we’re holding up just fine. We still have heat, lights, Wi-Fi, and water. We have snacks, whiskey, cats, and clean laundry. None of us are going outside, not even to take blizzard pictures. Fuck that shit!

Blizzard

We’re supposed to get a blizzard late this afternoon. It’s supposed to last through Monday afternoon at some point. 

A blizzard, by the by, is different than your basic snowstorm. What makes a blizzard? Winds greater than 35 mph and visibility of less than 1/4 mile/white out conditions for extended periods of time (at least 3 hours).

Up to two feet of heavy versus fluffy snow, big strong winds (with tears in their eyes?), and coastal flooding is expected. Valhalla, in case you’ve forgotten, is on the coast. Am I worried? Not particularly. I think most of the big, old trees closest to our houses have already come down. I’m just hoping the power doesn’t go out.

Ten and Jen made a big run to the grocery and Trader Joe’s yesterday so we have snacks to go along with our books and movies. At worst we may lose power later and be forced to read by the light of our camping lanterns. Yes, I’m fully aware that I’d wear heels and makeup before I’d go camping (and none of that’s gonna happen in this lifetime) BUT I’m smart enough to have some of the useful outdoorsy type gear hanging about.

Last night Jen, Oni, Kevin, Walter, and I rewatched Big Night (actually, I think it’s the first time Walter’s seen it). I don’t know why it’s billed as a comedy. It’s a warm, very bittersweet story. A comedy? Nope.

Primo and Secundo’s restaurant is not succeeding despite the fact that Primo (Tony Shalhoub) is an absolutely brilliant chef. Secundo (Stanley Tucci) asks for help from Pascal (Ian Holm), the slimy owner of the significantly more successful (but decidedly inferior) Italian restaurant across the street. 

Pascal says he knows Louis Prima and can get him to stop by for a meal, a party. This will create a HUGE buzz, attracting loads of new customers thus saving the business. Primo and Secundo go all out to make this happen.

Apart from this, I’d forgotten so much. Isabella Rossellini is in this. Oddio, I pity the actors who had to appear alongside her. She is absolutely incandescent. Unmatched.

I did remember that the evening’s big guest of honor, Louis Pima, never shows, but I forgot why. Pascal never made the call. He set them up to fail. He wanted Primo and Secundo’s restaurant to go under. Why? He wanted to force Primo to come and work for him in his third rate, chain restaurant-esque spaghetti house.

The party, despite the celeb no-show, was brilliant. The food scenes were positively orgasmic (except for the thankfully brief dead boar scene which was just a bit gross). The conversation between tired and tipsy Gabriella (Rossellini) and Phyllis (Minnie Driver) is interesting.  It’s not about the words. Maybe none of the movie is. Maybe it’s all a metaphor.

Gabriella clues Secundo in on what Pascal has done – the cheat, the betrayal, the dirty trick. Primo wants to go back to Rome – he and Secundo can work for an uncle there. Secundo is adamant about staying in the U.S. They fight. Secundo then confronts Pascal, basically telling him to fuck all the way off. They’ll never, ever work for him.

Primo and Secundo come back together in the kitchen of their restaurant. It’s morning. Secundo makes scrambled eggs for them and it’s like watching Baryshnikov perform simple turns – it looks so casual, so effortless. Beautiful.

I want a sequel. I want to know what the brothers did next. Did they stay together in the U.S. – find work in another restaurant (NOT Pascal’s!)? Did they both move back to Rome? Did Gabriella leave that scumbag? Did Primo ever see his crush, the neighborhood florist (Allison Janney) again? 

One more thing – the actor Tony Shalhoub is my absolute favorite in everything he’s in.

Men in Black  √
Big Night  √
Galaxy Quest  √
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  √

Okay, he’s been in a ton more movie and teevee shows than just these but…you get my point. Right?

Nouveau White Trash

When you think of white trash the people you may think of are generally poor, lazy, high school drop outs. They're prone to violence, careless and sloppy as all hell. They’re cheats (in every way possible), racist, misogynistic, mullet wearers , and they listen to and actually enjoy Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. Their drink of choice is Mountain Dew and bottom-shelf tequila (or something equally heinous) and if they’re not a tweaker, they’ve got at least one in their immediate family. Trailer parks versus fine homes are envisioned.  

Proud ignorance, thugishness, lack of attention to hygiene and household cleanliness as well as a complete absence of moral and financial discipline are all qualities that come to mind.

Amirite?

I’d like to propose that the U.S., specifically our very own burnt orange Prez Pedo, has brought about a new, more egalitarian age of white trash-dom. Trump and his complete vacuum of class and dignity, has ushered in the age of nouveau riche white trash.

To start with – his very own distinctly dull-witted, druggy, grifting, boobish spawn absolutely clown themselves every time they manage to capture a camera's focus. None of them seem to have a clue as to how imbecilic they look and sound.

Then there’s the scary Mar-a-Lago crowd. Mein gott, you’ve all seen the party pics with the freakish plastic women with chests which could easily serve as flotation devices in case anyone falls into the pool. Unfortunately the eight gallons of makeup each of them wear, would run creating a biohazard. This might cause a delay in service at the omelet bar which could unduly upset the geriatric investment bankers who bankroll all the fake gazongas. This could get ugly. *uglier*

Now we land in Pedo’s junk drawer of losers (AKA the Cabinet). All of them – rich, fluorescent skanks, doltish douches, and melodramatic, hamfaced morons.

Killer Kristi, moldy radish brained Kegseth, coke snorting, lying Rubio, the Education Secretary whose main “qualification” for office was being involved in professional “wrestling,” the imbecilic Treasury Secretary, RFK Jr. FFS!!! And let’s not forget Concentration/Death Camp Miller. This is certainly not a complete list of the intelligence and morally exempt refuse! These people are the absolute pinnacle of white trash-dom.

We have an complete motherfucking White Trash Administration.

Have you heard about Pedo’s Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer ? 

1) Her husband, Shawn DeRemer sexually assaulted not one but TWO women while visiting the Department. 

2) She’s apparently running a Nazi Labor Department.

The Labor Department’s account on X in January posted a video that featured a slideshow of artworks depicting glorified scenes of American history.

The caption above that video said, “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American.”

Social media users noted similarities between the Labor Department’s post and a Nazi Party slogan.
The slogan “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer,” which the U.S. Holocaust Museum notes was used by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, translates to “One People, One Country, One Leader. (source) 

3) Lori had an affair with one of her staff – one of her security detail. Is this why hubby’s getting handsy with Lori’s employees or is he just a big douche of his own accord? 

4) She was into travel fraud. That is, she had her office set up “professional events” as an excuse for personal travel. 

Farther down the GOP trash line…

An Ohio Republican mayor has been charged with voyeurism after he was caught on camera sniffing teen girl’s underwear.

According to investigators, the teen had hidden a small camera in a bedroom in the home. On 13 January, she reportedly received multiple motion alerts indicating recordings had been captured. Deputies say the footage showed Dingus smelling at least four pairs of her underwear “for several seconds” and also “touching his groin area over his clothes”.

Richland county children’s services passed the report along to law enforcement the same day the alleged incident occurred, and a deputy later interviewed the girl at her school. (source) 

His name is Wesley Dingus. No, fer reals. His name is Dingus! I would have changed that the minute I hit 18 if I was him but //shrugs// Maybe, when you’re a panty sniffing pedo, having a self-identifying last name is good?  

Dingus
    noun
a dim-witted, silly, or foolish person

The Butler, Ohio mayor is also facing numerous charges for running over a man wanted for violating parole in July 2025. Swell, emotionally balanced guy, eh?

Remember Dylann Roof? He’s the white supremacist, neo-nazi mass murderer who gunned down nine people at a bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina on July 17, 2015.

The judge for his Roof’s bond hearing – the one who called Roof's family "victims" in the church shooting, while in the presence of the actual victims' families – is a big fan child sex abuse material. I was so shocked...NOT.

There ya have it folks, the GOP – white trash from top to bottom. 

What's In A Name?

A group of pedophiles should henceforth be known as a ‘trump” – a trump of pedophiles. You know, like a murder of crows only WAY less cool and FAR more skeevy and dangerous.

Quick Martha, dial up Terminator Exterminators™. I hear there’s a trump of pedos headed this way.

Did you know?

According to a report just out by the Bureau of Justice Statistics: 
In 2023 U.S. citizens accounted for 96% of the people in the U.S. who were been charged with federal human trafficking offenses.
92% of those fuckers were men.
63% were white men.
17% were Black men. 
16% were Hispanic men.

Extra added tidbit – 1.7% of those charged were non-citizens who were in the U.S. legally.
Only 2.3% of the 1,160 scumbags charged in 2023 were undocumented immigrants.

So much for Prez Pedo, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, Pam Bondi, and all the other hate mongers blaming immigrants for the crimes committed primarily by wealthy white men.

Projection 
     noun
the process by which one attributes one’s own individual characteristics, affects, and impulses to another person or group. This is often a defense mechanism in which unpleasant or unacceptable impulses, stressors, ideas, affects, or responsibilities are attributed to others. 

Such defensive patterns are often used to justify prejudice or evade responsibility; in more severe cases, they may develop into paranoid delusions in which, for example, an individual who blames others for their problems may come to believe that those others are plotting against them. 

In classical psychoanalytic theory, projection permits the individual to avoid seeing their own faults.

Also

Gaslighting Psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.

Examples of Gaslighting 
Denying Reality: "That never happened," "You’re imagining things," "You're remembering it wrong.”
Minimizing Feelings: "You're too sensitive," "It was just a joke," “You're overreacting.”
Countering Memory: "You have a terrible memory," "That's not how it happened.”
Blame Shifting: "I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't...", "It's your fault I got angry.”
Isolation Tactics: "Everyone agrees with me, you're the only one who thinks that.”

Gloria Allred, the high-profile attorney representing several of the Trumpstein survivors has said, regarding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest:

“The state has acted quickly to make this arrest but there still has not been any action on the part of the police on allegations that Andrew has committed crimes against women.

Apparently allegations concerning the state trade secrets and/or allegations of financial crimes are given priority and quick action while allegations of rape and child sexual abuse and sex trafficking take many years to investigate and do not result in arrests and accountability for victims who are women and girls.” (source) 

Yup, our bullshit patriarchal planet thinks the theft of, fer instance, the formula for Colonel Sanders' blend of 11 herbs and spices or Big Mac’s special sauce, is a greater crime than the rape of 11-year-old children.

Still, at least old Randy Andy’s been busted for something. His reputation’s irredeemable trash now. That’s more than what’s been done to any of the wealthy U.S. child rapists. 

How 'bout we take billionaire Les Wexner down a few pegs or maybe a billion? He’s the owner of LBrands, which created Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works and Abercrombie & Fitch. Anyone up for a boycott? Anyone?

If our on-the-take Department of Injustice won’t do anything (and they won't), it’s up to us to make them feel some financial pain.

One more added bit – apparently Andy’s faithful domestic partner/former wife Sarah Ferguson was extra special tight with Epstein as well.  She’s now couch surfing with friends (fellow sleazebags?) in France and the Middle East and delusionally thinking that, at 66 years of age, she’ll just hire a PR team and make a dramatic comeback.

Ya know, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life but at least I’ve never gotten involved with a trump of vile, barbarous, greedheaded, pedophile monsters.
