Just a short comment ... In the old days, we had a two-tiered justice system. The rich received one level of justice, the poor received another, harsher justice. Then, that changed. We still have a two-tiered system, but now it runs along political lines. Maybe the Epstein case is a return to the former system...

@89th said in Riley Gaines testifies - and offends: Honestly, I'd like the Whig party to come back. It's not a whig, it's a fucking comb-over, OK? [image: 1701949992743-4d735eb6-4b78-44dd-b4ce-37b657ac52f4-image.png]
