I think the Epstein files are going to bring the whole regime down. [View all]

We are already seeing it unravel, maybe not at a pace fast enough for us, but it is happening. It has started in Europe with several people resigning or even being investigated, depending on how involved they were with Epstein.
In some countries, the mere mention of your name in these files is enough to get you to resign, even if you may not have been directly involved with sex crimes, you are still associated with a criminal.

In the US, far less repercussions but it is starting in the corporate, financial and academic world. Earlier, a Goldman Sachs top exec, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned.

Likewise affected were Brad Karp of the Paul Weiss law firm, David A. Ross from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and Larry Summer,s who stopped teaching at Harvard and went on leave in November of last year.

Now, given that most right-wing politicians have no shame, moral fiber, or principles, this may take a bit longer to start affecting our "ruling class". Lutnick is under fire and being pressured to resign, for example.

Still, I am convinced heads are going to roll, and Trump won't be able to escape consequences.

It may well have been the glue that held all these clowns together. We were always wondering why Trump had such a hold on the GOP. The answer may be that he has blackmail on most of them who were connected one way or another to Epstein. It sounds like a significant fraction of the ruling elite was involved.
