MIT guy chiming in: FWIW, Joi Ito was not a professor of anything. He led the Media Lab, which is a unit of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, but he wasn't on the faculty. Also, good riddance, Joi Ito, ye shall not be missed.

SAVING THE COUNTRY FROM TRUMP

If you want to get rid of Donald Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority.

Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

FOR NOW ——-///-

Everyone has to educate their congress representatives and senators about Trump raping women and children. Write letters and emails to your state congress representatives and senators.

There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are worried about losing their jobs once everyone finds out.

THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED.

H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act has to get the majority vote for that to happen.

Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the actual files.

Republicans are nothing more than paid voters

THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

What we’re missing here is the “Upstairs, Downstairs” angle. These people have pilots, flight attendants, chauffeurs, maids, cleaning staff. All of these people see things and know things. Yes, most of them have probably signed NDAs, but those can be suspended, or circumvented by procedural motions. If you want to know where the rat keeps his secrets, ask the mice.

All of this makes me wonder just what it was that Donald Trump told Justice Kennedy to get Kennedy to resign from the Supreme Court. Is Kennedy or his banker son in the Epstein Files, too?

Senate leader Thune has the power to END SHUTDOWN JUST BY 50 Repub votes! Mitch McConnel changed the rules SEVERAL TIMES to pass a partisan CR!

Why doesn’t Thune know this???

He does and he chooses to hand ALL CONGRESSIONAL POWER TO TRUMP?!

Dems are demanding to RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES and put the convicted pedo Ghislaine back to regular prison and outta of VIP treatment trump gave her

But repubs are choosing to COVER UP for trump billionaire donors instead.

"Your Honor, so called, the more pressing question is this: Can Sir -- in his dotage -- with crippled hand, bone spurs, spreading baldness, drooping mouth, lack of cognizance, comprehension and all sensitive nerve endings literally buried in flaps and folds of fat and loose skin still do all or any paedo things? The defense rests."

This report is so stomach churning- to know that raping children and pedophilia are established in moneyed circles as a norm. I don't even know what to say about it except it's about time to NAME NAMES, and release the Trump EPSTEIN FILES!.

As Marcie said, this is no proof that errybuddy got in on the rapey thing. Certainly raises some questions, though, maybe more doors will open.

there is no proof they didn't. Guilt by association. They all knew who he was. The whole fucking world knew who he was. He was kryptonite for normal people, the rest are pedos unless they have a really good explanation.

Trump: "the 90's were a different time, you have to remember that"

is a confession, full stop.

Bullshit. We'll need a little more proof before we can convict, guilt by association be damned. Otherwise you're no better than the ones who want "justice" with no trial.

Not everybody is as evil as you want them to be and forming a generalized judgment is telling.

If you've tried and convicted everyone in the court of your mind, errybuddy's guilty. And if you hadn't noticed, that's our mutual opponent's common strategy.

The problem is we don't even know who "they" are.

I suggest you hang onto that frame of mind as long as it serves you, but leave me out.

I was just having a moment. You are of course totally right.

however, what do you call a good person at a nazi bar?

a nazi.

There is a serious parallel here.

I see Bitcoin referred to in the article. By happy coincidence, I spent the past week reviewing and summarizing a somewhat lengthy deposition in a Bitcoin mine disaster.

There were very few survivors. One who did make it out said what he was doing was “Bitcoin mining. ‘Crypto’ is a dirty term.”

And he went on to say, when asked if he would return to Bitcoin mining, “I know enough about it to know to not get into it and to not trust the people around it.”

I sincerely believe that crypto is going to steal a lot of $$ from stupid people. It's a total Ponzi scheme and black market for nefarious groups. Although, judging from this article, so are a lot of legitimate banks.

Everything you say is true, or true enough. The best thing that can be said about speculating or investing or dicking around with cryptocurrency is it's like gambling in a casino with no gaming commission oversight. Let the player beware. That the Orange Buffoon wants the US of A to have some sort of "strategic Bitcoin reserve" is highly suspicious. As if his motives and intents were not suspicious enough already.

Undoubtedly he'll issue an Executive Order stating that the entire reserve will consist of Trump Coins.

Every drip of these files is like sewer water seeping through marble floors. JPMorgan calling Epstein “sugar daddy” while wiring cash to teenagers. Deutsche Bank cuddling up until 2018. Hedge funds swearing “we never knew him” while counting the deposits.

Wall Street didn’t just enable a predator, they monetized him. Epstein wasn’t an outlier, he was a mirror. And when the mirror cracked, the banks blamed the glass.

Didn't Anthony Kennedy's son work for Deutsche Bank? Kennedy resigned at an odd time, allowing Trump to appoint a successor, and the Russia and money laundering issues facing Deutsche Bank went away.

Maybe Kennedy's son is wrapped up in the Epstein-Trump files also!

The Venn diagram of the big financial institutions, the stellar financiers, the powerful, those with high positions, who all were willing to not only aid Epstein but likely participated in exploiting young women is much more overlapping than previously supposed. Thanks, Marcie. This info needs to be exposed
