What stage of capitalism is it when the entire world is run by pedophile rapist murderers in front of your eyes and all you can do is sit and watch as decent humans are being hunted down or executed for helping others?

Obama had to be perfect, morally beyond reproach. Despite exemplifying class & leadership, they STILL crucified him & his family for simply breathing. Trump screws porn stars, gives props to Nazis, alienates allies, pisses all over the Constitution. Crickets. Talk about privilege

Going to be tough to make this disappear:
Epstein and magician David Copperfield appeared to have ‘very close relationship’, newly released files say
A 2007 FBI memo said further investigation was needed to determine if they ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’. Copperfield has never been charged with illegal conduct and has denied any wrongdoing https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/02/epstein-files-david-copperfield

Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving – with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism – the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring’s staring up at his looted Monet. https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/melania-trump-movie-review-documentary-b2911108.html

To call Melania vapid would do a disservice to the plumes of florid vape smoke that linger around British teenagers. She calls herself a “mother, wife, daughter, friend”, yet is only depicted preening and scowling.
