"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
NO, I HADN'T NOTICED that I wrote "lock him up and trow away the key" until you pointed it out. I don't recall, exactly but I may have heard my Irish grandfather say that when i was very young. He had the vestiges of an Irish accent, no doubt from his mother who stepped off the boat from County Cork as a girl of 15 before she married the next year and settled in one of the smaller towns around Boston. Alas, she died before I was born so I never met her. I believe she spoke Irish though she didn't teach that to her children. I really wish I could speak it but only know a few phrases.
I won't fix it because I rather like that pronunciation in that phrase and because it bugged you enough to point it out. Eejit.
DINA DOLL is one of the better Meidas Touch lawyers in that she either uses a script or she is just better at winging it than the guys tend to be. This posting from her about the honorable Jamie Raskin sending a letter to the big banks that were part of the Epstein-Maxwell sex-trafficking and blackmail operation (handling transactions for them of at least A FRICKIN' BILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS! including AFTER EPSTEIN WAS SENTENCED AS A SEX CRIMINAL*) telling them to cough up information on that, giving enough details of an e-mail exchange one of them had with Epstein that certainly points to the banker having raped the children being trafficked by Epstein with really pervy Disney princess content included. It's clear that Democrats already have a lot of really damning information in that trove of stuff they got from the Epstein estate and have been holding it back to leverage it to get other information from the guilty.
I've been so critical of lawyers and Constitutional scholars that I thought I should point out one of the better ones and the good work he's doing. I'm sure he'd disagree with me about a lot of what I've said but I do have some respect for Mr. Raskin as I do for those like Elizabeth Warren and Sheldon Whitehouse and Adam Schiff. I still think the whole legal system stinks and needs to be cleaned out and restructured right down to the Constitution but there are better and worse and THE WORST among those who have lived in it and who practice it, still.
* If anyone is naive enough to think that a college drop-out and his sleazy panderer were capable of generating that kind of income on the basis of no known talents, skill or actual work without them being a blackmail and information peddling outfit, selling their videos and records of the white, the male, the straight, the stinking rich and, or, so stinking powerful to foreign and likely domestic intelligence then their ability to do so for so long with so many rich and so powerful straight, white men knowing what they were doing not giving them up to law enforcement certainly is powerful evidence that that is how they got away with it for as much and as long as they did. And even in the period AFTER THE GOVERNMENT KNEW THAT EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL WERE TRAFFICKING IN THAT KIND OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, he got a sweetheart deal from a federal prosecutor (albeit in one of the most corrupt states of the fifty) and went on with what he was doing. This has American as well as foreign spy-service assets written all over it. I mentioned Robert Maxwell's obvious ties to both Israeli and Soviet intelligence as well as the obvious conclusion that British intelligence certainly would have been aware of that so I conclude he was at least a triple agent and there is lots to lead me to conclude that he was an asset of American intelligence too. And Ghiz was his favorite child who shortly after his death and the confiscation of her daddy's wealth to cover his massive theft and other crimes hooked up with Epstein. And she's getting a sweetheart deal from a man who is certainly as in on what Epstein was doing as the banker whose name has yet to be exposed, the one who said he enjoyed "Snow White" during his stay at Jeffrey's place and, when Jeffrey asked him which character he wanted next time said, "Beauty and the Beast." I'm going to stop pretending we don't all know what's going on. Trump was certainly one of those who raped girls Epstein provided to him and I'll bet you anything that, as Ghiz implied to the thug lawyer Todd Blanche, there are others in the Trump cabinet who did as well as others she, no doubt, has authorized her estate to spill the beans on in the event of her untimely death. She'd be as dead as Epstein if she hadn't taken that precaution. I suspect what we know she said to Blanche was similar to what Epstein said to Barr shortly before Epstein was killed so my guess is that Epstein was too arrogant to have taken such precautions figuring he didn't need them. I'll give this to Ghiz, she's certainly smarter than he was or she'd be dead, too.
