Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved from Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas just days after she met with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche.

This comes as pressure grows on President Trump to release files about Maxwell’s longtime associate, the serial sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse and traffick young girls. Trump has not ruled out pardoning Maxwell.

Republicans going soft on the child fuckers. Hell, they made one president.

I'd argue they go hard for kiddie-diddlers.

You mean Trump's former (and arguably current) personal lawyer Todd Blanche?

I can't take anyone seriously that has any faith at all in America. ...any. This country is either naive or criminal and the criminals own it.

Even the paths that people think will lead to something good... Like political discourse... Like careers... The American dream... Seems to all feed a culture of arrogant evil... Because the freedom we have isn't even freedom, its a premade path psychologically made for people to think they are free.

You can't touch change if you do not understand this. Nothing will make change if you don't understand this. And when you do understand this ...you know we are most likely fucked, as a human race, beyond any chance of knowing our human potential.

Here, you either buy into it... Become a part of the evil for gains and a sense of security... Or you are fucked. It's like the Mafia, gang, organized religion, or any pyramid scheme.

I can't stand this kind of comment. You're mad that people don't see things as your do but then also complain that it wouldn't matter anyway.

If you think it doesn't matter, shut up and let the people trying keep on keeping on. It definitely won't change by spreading your shitty attitude

Of course we still won't get the files until he is done blackmailing everyone in them for donations and who knows what else.
