    I kinda wish Macklemore would talk more about this. If Kraft is going to accuse people of “antisemitism”, why not talk about his actual history?

    He was held for sex trafficking charges in Florida but was released because it was a mistake and not because he’s a billionaire who could use lawyers and bribes to make the problem go away.

    I mean that does appear to be the only correspondence with Epstien is him reaching out to convince him to use his lawyer, which isn’t great but isn’t that damning.

    However…

    The documents say Kraft arrived at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in a chauffeured 2015 blue Bentley at 11 a.m. on Jan. 20. He was videotaped receiving oral and manual sex from a woman at the spa in Jupiter. Officials say he gave her a $100 bill and another bill before leaving at 11:15 a.m.

    Remember that this is the man of high Republican moral standing, suppressing other’s speech he doesn’t like because of his high level of Republican morality.

      the only correspondence with Epstien

      The only currently released correspondence is Epstein referring to having had otherwise undocumented conversations with Kraft on the topic of how to beat sex related charges.

    At this point I think it’s safe to assume any politician or billionaire is in the files, unless they’re too young or proven otherwise.

        I mean if billionaire paedophiles that look like the best part of them became a stain on their mother’s bedsheets aren’t a valid target, then who is?

        Genuinely I’ll feel bad for anyone that looks like that barrel chested ewok Muskrat, speaking of pedophiles. I wouldn’t shame a regular person for the way their body is built, but I will call weirdly shaped game characters “musk shaped” until he is worm food.

    lol Epstein’s advice was to get a lawyer to get the charges dismissed? Have I got that right?

    Because that’s why all these depraved rich fuckers liked Jeff right? Because he gave such good advice and was so smart. Not because he had an army child slaves upon which they could enact their most depraved fantasies.

      No. Epstein offered up the lawyer that defended him from sex related charges, because Kraft was facing sex related charges of his own.

        When you go to an attorney, (unless it’s a simple trust or estate) you want someone who practices that specialty. I wouldn’t use a contract lawyer for crim defense.

        Epstein didn’t just offer up a lawyer, he offered up the lawyer for being credibly charged with sex crimes

    Don’t get me wrong, Sheeran is a weak little bitch that’s putting his image ahead of genocide victims, but the focus really should be on Kraft and his buddies. Zionists aren’t even trying to win the debate anymore, just trying to use their money and influence to silence dissent.

    At this point, when it comes to celebrities and the filthy rich and even Harvard, the list for “Not in the Epstein files” would be a much shorter list.

    Twenty years of this, the biggest scandal of our lifetime, and we have only scratched the surface.

    … and the UK is neck deep in it, too. I’ll probably be dead before they are released.

      The UK is at least trying and convicting those UK citizens tied to Epstein crimes. Here in the USA we elect them to the highest office in the land, then allow them to use the entirety of the US Justice system to shield themselves from the evidence and consequences of their heinous actions.

    On the plus side Kraft Foods is quite an easy one to boycott, because there’s nothing they make that you can’t get better versions of anyway. ignore this I received bad information from duckduckgo’s stupid ass summary page

        Oh FFS, fucking AI summaries fucked me again. God I hate the future. I didn’t even register that it was AI because it sits where the Wikipedia previews used to sit back in the day.
