Yeah, I feel like the above is a perfect example of moving the goalposts to avoid ever being happy.

"God, just a prince? When are they going to arrest someone with real power?"

Considering the scope of what we're learning about Epstein and his circles, yes, I am Indeed not happy at all with "just a prince".

The system still protects its own, I can't help but feel Andrew is arrested not for raping children as much as for not being well liked and/or powerful enough to have friends in high places to protect him.

It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than this before I'm even remotely happy.
