Billionaire Elon Musk and Prince Andrew are named in new files released by Congressional Democrats that relate to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to the financier’s island in December 2014.

Separately, a manifest for a flight from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000 names the Duke of York among the passengers.

    Fuck off with this. The VAST majority of people with half a brain don’t give a shit if it’s a D or R next to the name. I’m sure there are Democrats that are in there, however, the long list of rich/politicians that have been found guilty of sexual crimes, child rape/CSAM ARE majority Republicans.

    If you rape children, you should face the consequences, full stop.

      That’s exactly what I said, idiot.

      I can only think that you had a knee-jerk reaction assuming my initial word choice meant something that it clearly didn’t. That reaction is a large part of the problem with online discourse getting nowhere and everyone arguing all the time. You’re arguing with people agreeing with you for no fucking reason because you’re not actually stopping to understand the comments before responding.

        The way you worded your statement definitely made more than just me assume your intent, hence the down votes.

          Not surprising that people here have terrible reading comprehension and just vote and post knee jerk reactions based on their biases just like everywhere else. Social media was a mistake across the board. It’ll be the downfall of our society.

            Of course, it’s everyone else that’s wrong.

              I mean, yeah in this case that seems to be indicated by the evidence.

              I get downvotes yet the responses are agreeing with what I said.

              I can only assume that because I called out the Dems for bullshit politicas releasing only certain names and protecting their own, people are assuming I’m trying to make the opposite claim, yet the next 2 sentences prove otherwise.

              So they’re not actually reading and comprehending the comment, they’re just reacting to their own assumption of what the rest of my comment must be in their head.

              That certainly seems to indicate that people have terrible reading comprehension, vote, and comment without actually reading the comments fully.

              So you tell me… if they’re agreeing with my comments, then why the downvotes if not a lack of reading comprehension and impulse control on social media?
