    What’s interesting about this is that Ghislaine Maxwell just got a transfer to a cushy facility in exchange for what is likely to be heavily coached testimony about how Donald Trump totally didn’t rape children.

        As if she would… She will just do what she do best, just not for Epstein, but for mr president himself, I fear…

        Why would he pardon her? Prison is sheer hell and she got a huge upgrade. Fuck around and they can take that back. They got all the leverage they need without the screams of outrage a pardon would bring.

          offtopic: Maybe that’s why a transparent and safe prison system, a bit like what Norway has, would do well for USA. Don’t tell me anything about feeding criminals in luxury, because you are spending far more taxpayer money on far more idiotic things. Also rehabilitation is really a big thing.

              It’s usually considered smart to avoid hard problems.

              Thus to say that every criminal deserves rehabilitation. You won’t achieve anything good from taking it from them anyway.

                Well we shouldn’t be letting them back out so rehabilitation is pointless and impossible anyway. If you can’t understand that fucking kids is bad without being institutionalized you’re a lost cause

                    No one has a moral right to fuck kids either and they have to be dealt with so they don’t fuck more kids. There is no “context” that makes that excusable.

            How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?

            Forgive me for asking, it’s just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you’re claiming to be knowledgeable on.

            There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it’s important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!

      I read those news in a way that she’s now in a low risk facility with plenty of other people around who might casually remove a witness, rather than stuck in isolation in a max security prison where every ‘suicide’ would be met with public outrage.
