Would Jeffrey Epstein really have been “facing life in prison”? Given his wealth, and his connections (toxic as he would have been to most of them), and that a trial would have almost certainly become a media circus - ripe for grounds for years worth of appeals??
Maybe he did off himself, but the circumstances are just too suspicious to be face-value: though as pointed out earlier, he’s still dead. Either way. No tears need be shed….
re: #48 No Malarkey!
I’m not much for conspiracy theories. Facing a life in prison is certainly good reason to commit suicide.
I’m not either, but given what Epstein knew and the fact there were some odd things that happened at the jail (for example, the guards disappearing and leaving him alone for an extended period of time when they shouldn’t have [and then lying about it] and the mysterious “accidental” deletion of video from his first suicide attempt) really make me wonder.
I don’t pretend to have ANY idea what actually happened but I would not be shocked to learn it was not, in fact, a suicide.

That she hadn’t made a deal before today tells me that she genuinely believed that either her money or her connections would stop her from going to jail.

And, yeah, there doesn’t seem to be cuts to that footage, the ship’s violent end was that quick:
At about 0815 hours, the first kamikaze appeared on the American ships’ radar, and orders were given for the convoy to begin evasive manoeuvring.[17] Through holes in the clouds, the Japanese pilots sighted the American force as it steamed south of Cebu and Bohol Islands. The Japanese aircraft were three A6M Zero fighters of the 201st Air Group, which had taken off from Cebu at 0950 were led by Lt. Masami Hoshino (星野政己) and each carried a 250 kg bomb.[18] Diving through anti-aircraft fire and despite damage to his aircraft, the Japanese pilot crashed between Burke’s #2 and #3 cargo holds.[14]
A brief flash of fire was visible and for several seconds, only smoke could be seen billowing from her hold. A few seconds later, a huge pillar of fire shot out of Burke’s cargo hold, followed by an immense cloud of white smoke[17] before an enormous blast wave and fireball erupted as her cargo of munitions detonated, instantly destroying the ship and killing her crew of 40 merchant marine sailors and 28[19] or 29[20] armed guards. For several seconds, Burke was not visible under a mushroom cloud of smoke, fire and explosions. Several ships nearby were damaged by the force of the blast and flying fragments.[17] The shock wave rocked the entire convoy with ships reporting that they had been torpedoed. A US Army “FS” type ship just aft of Burke was severely damaged by the blast, sinking before it could be identified.[3] As the cloud of smoke cleared, nearby ships closed on Burke’s former position to search for survivors but Burke, and all aboard her were lost.

I’d like to know if Ohio is holding that bitcoin, or if it is immediately converting it to real money the second they get it. I’m guessing the latter.
Remember kiddies, any “currency” that potentially has an upper limit to the amount and value of it leaves no room for economic growth and guarantees a either *really* bad time, or increasing the portion of it that is fiat.
A basic college economics class makes this blaringly obvious if it’s not taught by a maniac they can’t get rid of because of tenure.

Cryptocurrency is better than fiat money because the early adopters get all the value. There was a previous discussion on Bitcoin specifically, where each individual bitcoin is harder to mine than the last, in order to ensure that the supply of bitcoin is finite. However, that means that the early miners have thousands of bitcoin that are worth whatever they say they are, whereas new players have to spend thousands and thousands of real dollars for just one bitcoin. That’s a feature for those who are sleazy enough to be at the top of the pyramid… makes you wonder what Josh Mandel’s financial past may entail.

re: #164 Patricia Kayden
For the longest time my friends and I had a tradition. There was an English pub in town that celebrates the New Year when it’s midnight in London, so 4PM in California. We’d show up at Noon, drink, eat, etc. and then after 4, we would hangout for a while to make sure everyone was sober and good before leaving, and then go on to anything else we might want to do. Often that option was “I’m good, I’m just going to go home and avoid all the crazy.”
So even in my 20’s most of the time I was looking like that “now” picture by midnight because I had done it all much earlier and relatively safer. I lost that option when the place started selling tickets because the crowd size was getting to be too much, and I missed them before they sold out. Every year since then something has caused me to not go, most recent of which is COVID. I don’t even know if the place has survived the pandemic or not.

I’m not either, but given what Epstein knew and the fact there were some odd things that happened at the jail (for example, the guards disappearing and leaving him alone for an extended period of time when they shouldn’t have [and then lying about it] and the mysterious “accidental” deletion of video from his first suicide attempt) really make me wonder.
I don’t pretend to have ANY idea what actually happened but I would not be shocked to learn it was not, in fact, a suicide.
There are so many rich and powerful men who had reasons to make Epstein go away. Let’s not forget that Attorney General Barr’s father was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics and start him on his career. Epstein died in the custody of those working for the Barr DOJ. Let’s also remember the plea deal that Epstein got under Alex Acosta years earlier, where he received a suspiciously light sentence.
Ghisliane’s conviction will do little to stop this scourge of child rape and trafficking if the men who participated escape without receiving justice for their crimes.

And let’s not forget Les Wexner, who really got Epstein’s financial ball rolling (and who knows what other balls.)
During his time as Wexner’s financial guru, Epstein’s holdings grew tremendously—sometimes by acquiring properties formerly owned by Wexner such as the town house on East 71st Street, one of the largest private homes in Manhattan. While it has been reported over the years that the home was transferred to him in a $1 transaction—-and Epstein may have led people to believe that—documents show he paid Wexner $20 million for it. In Columbus, Epstein owned a 10,000-square-foot house next to Wexner and, according to Merritt, paid a below-market price for one of The Limited’s private jets. (Epstein also reportedly oversaw construction of Wexner’s superyacht, Limitless.) Merritt recalled once asking Wexner why Epstein was so well compensated. “Les just said, ‘Because I got more money than I can ever spend,’ ” said Merritt. “Les gave him free rein over his checkbook.” In 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported Epstein earned $200 million from Wexner. Merritt puts the number at $400 million.

This is interesting - the Israelis might be pondering a “let ‘er rip” strategy in regard to the Omicron variant of COVID-19. It’s in Czech, so here’s the English translation behind a spoiler tag:
In Israel, which has so far relied on high immunization in the fight against the spread of covid-19, senior health ministry officials are considering a change of approach to achieve collective immunity by infecting the masses. The reason is the growing number of new cases related to the onset of the wave caused by the omicron variant, said channel 12. Isolation measures have been relaxed in the country since Thursday.
The vaccinated and those who have undergone covid-19 will not need to be quarantined after contact with the infected person if they have a negative antigen test. So far, a PCR test has been required.
On Wednesday, there were 3,446 infected in the nine-million-strong country, on Tuesday there were 2,967. These are the highest values in the last quarter of the year. The number of infected will continue to rise as the reproductive number R, which reflects how many people can be infected, has risen from 1.47 to 1.53.
For the first time, community transmission was also detected in the omicron variant, previously it was detected in people who came to the country from abroad.
The Czech Republic is still dominated by the delta. Omicron confirmed in 57 cases
The growing number of people infected has not yet affected the number of hospitalized and serious people, of whom there are 88, of which 39 on pulmonary ventilation and 18 on ECMO.
It is the low number of serious cases that has led to the consideration of moving to a “mass contagion model”. This was stated by Channel 12 on Tuesday evening, referring to senior officials of the Ministry of Health.
However, non-appointed ministerial officials said, according to Channel 12, that “no other model is possible” due to slower vaccination of children and the reluctance of society to take lockdowns or other harsh anti-coronavirus measures.
Omikron behaves a little differently. The ministry is preparing to reduce quarantine and isolation. Professor Cyrille Cohen, who runs the immunology laboratory at Bar-Ilan University, sees this as a good approach. “I find that only through natural exposure to vaccine protection does the virus become endemic (that is, circulating but not causing epidemic waves) ,” he told the Jerusalem Post.
The reason for such a procedure may be the high infectivity of the new variant. “Because omicron is so contagious, our efforts to stop it are in vain,” said Professor Hagai Levine, who heads the Israeli Association of Doctors in the Public Health Service. “What we can and should try is to protect the most vulnerable as much as possible,” he added.
The change in procedure is not only related to the fact that the omicron variant has a lower proportion of serious cases. A non-peer-reviewed study published on MedRxiv showed that people who experience this variant are protected from infection with the delta variant. Levine added that if the results of the study are confirmed, “Omicron may mark a transition to endemic status.”

Early this year I discovered that my husband’s 4th ggf had a Liberty ship in WWII named after him, the SS Daniel Huger, but none of his sibs knew anything about it. Hubs said his father always told him to behave himself because he was an aristocrat, at which he would just roll his eyes. Turns out Dad was right!

TSA forced millions to take off their shoes to check for bombs for years.
They can check a card to see if you’re vaccinated against a biological agent that can kill or permanently injure those around them. The airlines are sending mixed signals about this - they worry about profits, but their employees are dealing with the antivaxxer/antimask extremists who assault staff on a frequent basis. These antivaxxers and antimaskers are endangering everyone around them.
Impose the mandate and make the GOP defend the indefensible. Don’t quit before you give it a chance. Majority of Americans would approve of vaccinations to fly if it means returning to normal more quickly.

re: #250 Belafon
Of course, there’s a major downside risk involved. But even here, the Czech government has started discussions about “acceptable losses” (albeit, quietly). Locally, there’s two other factors I’m considering: First, there’s a good chance that the Czech Constitutional Court might well find the current funding of the healthcare system here is unconstitutional, which means the newly-installed government would be left to (rather frantically) come up with funding for it from scratch. Second, the Constitutional Court is expected to rule in the not-too-distant future that anti-COVID measures are unconstitutional, which they have done multiple times in the past; the old government just ignored the Court’s rulings.
Given those two factors, the Czech government would simply have little other choice other than pursue a “let it rip” strategy. The ruling on health care funding is expected in the next three or four weeks, BTW.

The TSA is a federal agency; its not up to states to enforce a federal vaccine mandate to fly.

It would take an act of Congress because the Supremacy Clause prohibits states from seceding unilaterally.

re: #263 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
An awful lot of people are not trained virologists of epidemiologists…
Epidemiologically, I don’t think it’s entirely wrong to do minimal mitigation of spread if a population is highly vaccinated. In a vaccinated individual, evidence seems to suggest that Omicron and even Delta are not much more virulent than a flu. We don’t do a lot of spread mitigation for a flu, and so allowing Covid to transition to a more mild endemic form with vaccination protection is not unreasonable.
To do this you’d have to have a significantly vaccinated population though, which America will basically never have.

re: #193 Targetpractice
The whole “National Divorce” bit is humorous largely because it’s just the usual “Texas could totally leave the union tomorrow!” talk with the serial numbers filed off. And so the same arguments apply, namely that red states that “divorced” themselves from the Union would pretty quickly become third-world banana republics as they lost access to both domestic as well as global markets, while liberals and even “moderates” fled the state to escape persecution for failure to convert.
Heh, obviously MTG has not talked to businesses, because I can’t imagine that even the big Georgia businesses (Coke & AT&T) would be thrilled about a “National Divorce” aka “Civil War 2.0”.
Has she even considered that the major financial institutions are HQed in New York now? Bankers are not going to put up with anything which looks incredibly destabilizing.

I’ve been saying this for quite a while. The Repug fascist leaders do not care how many toxic incels and posturing yokels are killed or imprisoned on their behalf. It will also be very difficult to get the endangered pawns themselves to care, since the leadership will easily convince them to reject all reports of roundup, defeat and massacre as “fake news.” We already see this in the response, or lack of response, to mass Covid deaths among the antivaxx rank and file.
I generally believe that the “head of the snake” analogy is over-rated, but the leadership and its acolytes must also be targeted in this case, because of their uniquely powerful command of dis-information. How, and when, depends on the circumstances as the conflict unfolds in the future.
