      I also appreciate that all of these motherfuckers look appropriately ghoulish, a bummer though that only Andrew really has suffered any major consequences. Even Maxwell is, seemingly, living it up in her prison cell.

    Imagine that mural in the US, the former land of the free. Trump would probably send his GeStaPo immediately to take down the terrorists who painted this.

          What neighbors? Any house that sold in the last TEN years was bought by some commercial endeavor. Rental, Airbnb, tax writeoff…

            It has turned into an interesting social experiment.

            This small town is economically divided. Half the people work for the government in one way or another. Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Forestry, BLM, Fire department…

            The other half is on welfare.

            The well-to-do people HATE it. I have been flipped off by some of the city council officers. It’s anyone who is driving a new car dislikes my “art”.

            The poor people LOVE it. They shake my hand and tell me to “Keep it up”.

            So… it looks like I’m working for the poor man.

                When I retired, I had a desire to explore the art world. My first BIG project was this dictionary I tied to the table with chains. Title: Hard Bound, Bound Hard.

                It is my interpretation of things like when you buy a John Deere tractor and they tell you you can’t work on it. You own it but it’s not yours. We are starved for knowledge but drowning in information.

        The FBI is the Gestapo

        Not yet. When they start eliminating all the brown shirts, AKA ICE then they will be the Gestapo. I wonder how many of them realize that they are scheduled to be eliminated in the plan.

        ICE is the police force which directly reports to the Executive Branch, which is why it is Gestapo.

        FBI would be whatever was left of the Wehrmacht when Hitler took power, perhaps the Feldgendarmerie.

          The Wehrmacht was literally the army. So no, not the FBI.

          The SA was a bunch of complete morons that attacked people and caused riots and got so out of hand that the government couldn’t handle them anymore. The Gestapo was smart.

      “Cheese pizza” has been slang/a euphemism for child pornography (due to the initials being the same, “cp”) since at least 2010. I wouldn’t call it a dog whistle.

        Maybe you know it as common fact for some reason but also

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics)

        It communicates a specific message to a specific group in a way meant to pass unnoticed to the larger public without further context. It’s literally a textbook example.

        Unless you want to argue that anyone talking about cheese pizza in public is obviously a pedo because it’s clearly the dominant and assumed meaning?

          “Cheese Pizza” was a way of calling out and warning other users of pictures that were sketchy and of suspiciously young looking girls without running afoul of filtered or banned words on some bulletin boards and then forum/social media. It was picked up as slang for cp by “edgy” teens and eventually became so common that the pieces of shit that were posting the questionable stuff started referring to it that way. The same thing happened with the pedo bear.
          You don’t have to have been a pedo to have run into pedo shit in the early days of the internet. People didn’t want that shit on their computers and in the early days browsers would cache every image on a page just in case it needed those images again later. So, when you did stumble across this shit, you let others know so that they didn’t have to deal with it and manually purge their caches.

            I mean, dog whistles are a kind of euphemism by definition, and I’ve literally never seen anyone but Epstein in his emails use cheese pizza to directly mean CP or victims.

            If you’re seeing it that much as a casual euphemism you really need to ask yourself some questions about the people saying it and why you’re hanging around them.

              Literally the use of pizza imagery as code for pedo stuff was one of the central claims of the qanon pizza gate conspiracy. Seems like other than it not being in the basement of a pizza place with no basement they had most of it right, strangely enough.

                I’d have to go back and look at the pizza gate stuff from that time. Because I also remember it wasn’t just a conspiracy about child sex slaves, they also believed the elites were feeding on adrenochrome. I haven’t kept up with the Epstein files and it’s really difficult to keep up with what’s sensationalized versus what’s actually in there. The idea that Epstein and friends pushed the adrenochrome version of the story to cover the more grounded child sex ring version isn’t too far fetched. It’s so difficult to separate conspiracy theory from fact in this shit. Genuinely the worst timeline.

    I think Trump is more of the sub in this situation, he claimed in an email to Epstein that he may or may not have sucked Bill’s dick.

    Fun fact, Bill Clinton is suing the DOJ and asking for a full release of the files, has been for months. I feel like if there were a lot of damning evidence against Bill in there then it would have come to light by now.

      It’s a political maneuver. He’s betting on there being less bad about him than about GOP and that they’ll refuse anything that allows stuff to potentially be public outside their direct control and won’t push too hard on him as a consequence.

          OK, and? He can drop that suit at any time and it will stop there, but such a lawsuit is a useful tactic. Specifically, it’s a MAD tactic, because he knows he is also implicated (I don’t think anyone genuinely believes he’s totally clean on the Epstein stuff) and the GOP broadly and Trump in particular want to go after the Clintons in particular.

          If he was genuinely about transparency, why do you think he fought and delayed on the subpoena until Congress moved to find in in contempt of Congress? The purpose of such a lawsuit is to create a threat against them to protect himself by threat of mutual destruction. Same as pushing for any deposition from the subpoena being totally public - also about mutually assured destruction. The goal is to threaten that if the Clintons are gone after in a serious way, he’ll take them with him.
