Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

fucking arrest her and put her in jail wtf is going on
See your honor..... We've run into a problem. They actually don't even make jails for rich white women.
Yeah they do, it's the one Ghislaine Maxwell is in. The one that's basically a regular house that you can't leave.
Tbf she's not actually wealthy. Her father was at one point, but his business empire collapsed into debt. She's just a heiress with no inheritance who had lots of connections with wealthy people.
Afaik she's worth at least 5m. Which, that sounds rich to me.
That’s not all that rich. Which is probably why she’s in prison.
Where I live, a single family home costs well over a million dollars. Two million in a “nice” neighborhood. Take the rest of that and put it in a diversified brokerage account, you can probably make enough each month to live as if you had a regular middle class job but without working. I wouldn’t call that “rich.” That’s basically just early retirement.
Sure would be nice though.
dude. if you have SEVEN digits, ~15x the average annual income, to spend on a home and still have enough to never work again, you are rich
Oh, sorry, I meant Halligan. Yeah no you’re probably right about Maxwell, idk.
If she's got a penny, she's got millions squirrelled away somewhere. She was Epstein for years, and he had billions. Surely he siphoned some to her as well. And a guy like Epstein definitely knows how to hide money in Cayman, or Bahamian, or Swiss, etc. banks.
There's a whole other branch of the Epstein case that is seldom mentioned: the financial case. There's an investigation into the money trails, and that's could lead to more actionable information than all the gossipy stuff we've seen so far.
She has a wealth of knowledge relating to the wealthy.
Which makes her part of that class
Maxwell has been complimentary of her prison saying "the staff is very responsive..."
Staff. Responsive. Fuck. Me.
That's hilarious, because when I was in jail the staff wasn't even responsive when I had a medical emergency...
have her explain from a jail cell
Rule of law for thee but not for me
