According to a receipt and several email exchanges buried within the millions of files released on January 30, Epstein had six 55-gallon drums of the chemical delivered to Little St. James (LSJ).
What’s funny is the UK? wants someone to step down cause they hired someone on the list. They fired him a year ago but they still want him to step down. Well US is like whatever. Who cares.
I’ve been boggled by American inaction in this and I wonder if it’s because there’s no recall function in our system? Maybe folks are just waiting for the midterms, but we aren’t seeing civil consequences (firings, boycotts, etc) either.
It genuinely seems like there’s something uniquely American about the lack of consequences here
I mean it’s pretty clear why: Trump’s name appeared more than a million times in the unredacted Epstein files according to Rep. Jamie Raskin
The highest office in the country benefits from the inaction.
I know it’s not really the same thing in the UK, but even within the royal family and public opinion, if it had been Charles instead of Andrew, do you think he would willingly be giving up his royal title and everything that goes with it, even if other members of the family were pressuring him?
Definitely, but there should be systems in place like impeachment, no confidence votes, etc. in the US, Congress can impeach a president and remove them, but if they don’t do so, we-the-people don’t have legal recourse for removing members of Congress in the middle of their terms.
A lot of the advice angry Americans are getting right now is “just vote them out in the midterms”. This feels woefully insufficient
