No. If I was, I wouldb't lower myself to mix with all you lowly scum.

If I was, I'd probably have a much bigger boat, and maybe a flying ex-Saudi palace!

But I don't have the wealth to benefit from bottom-of-the-harbour stuff.

Now that is a believable motive for burying the story. Trust me, it will be buried. I suspect there are some surprising people who will spend big to ensure public attention is directed elsewhere

Trump & Epstein & Ghislain's dad were involved (businesswise) somehow with Russian connections. Purely circumstantial, of course.

I would be suspicious of that suspicion. Was Rudd sufficiently important to be invited?

And I try to keep my boat away from the bottom of the ocean, too.

And Mexico is gunna pay for it, too!

Here's another one. https://dossier.center/jeffreyepsteinrusconnect-en/ Not sure what to trust, is the echo chamber haunting my searches?

I think you know what I meant.

Me too! Mine saved me from googling it.

So, I sense you disapprove of this person. Don't hold back, tell us how you feel about it. PS, it might not be all about DJT. Maybe she hasn't suddenly discovered ethics, but has a new, more personal agenda?

After all our angst about the crazy state of politics, I can't believe we haven't got a thread about Epstein. So, here goes.... I'll kick off with a link to a news mob I've never heard of. https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/the-transnational-dimension-of-theepstein-casea-hybrid-warfare-against-the-west My curiosity is particularly piqued by the fact that nobody has officially delved into Epstein's banking records. I did think that it would be an important part of analysing any (possibly) corrupt/criminal case?

Absolutely bizarre. Order popcorn now. I think we are a safe distance from the fireworks.

It is the definition of Risk Management. Yachties do a similar risk management to aviators. Keep away from the edges of your transport fluid. Also, they notice all kinds of noisy disturbances. Things like jetskis and flying machines are dangerous and annoying.

Where's a Don Chipp when we need one?

Gotta love a government when it bans bans!

Funny thing, USA hasn't declared war. But they have declared a NOTAM for all of Venuzuela, & nearby sea. Watch out for unexploded ordinances?

It's getting a bit beyond being a gameshow.... Fox has started running ads for the Donald Trump-themed handguns. However, the president won’t be able to buy one of the “Living Legend DT47” guns, given that he is a convicted felon. “In honor of Donald Trump’s amazing comeback election victory to become our 47th president, Bond Arms is introducing an impressive new handgun—the Living Legend DT47,” the 30-second commercial said, which journalist Aaron Rupar shared in a post on X.

Trump took to social media to denounce the video on Thursday, sharing a series of posts that accused the Democrats of seditious behavior and suggested different forms of punishment. In one, he said they “should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL”; in another, he described their actions as “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump also re-posted an anonymous user’s message that read, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!” (Huffington Post) Definition:- " Aiding and Abetting Murder If you intentionally help, encourage, or assist in the killing, you can be charged as a principal—meaning: ➤ Same charge as the killer First-degree murder (if premeditated) Second-degree murder (if not premeditated) Penalties often include life imprisonment."

"Flying is not dangerous, as long as you remember its dangerous" PS: I got that from a yachting forum, but I really identified with the concept.

I am not crossing the line about that.

Yes, times have changed. My bike learner's permit cost (I think) $15, filled out a form - address, name, DOB. Off you go. Three months later, if you survived, you return to the office, an assessor watches you ride away and return. Licence granted. For all motorcycles. Life was simpler then. Darwin's theory of evolution worked. We lived or died based upon our fast learning from mistakes, and luck. Some of us made our own luck with the aid of common sense.

You have a sick mind.

Hard to find out.... besides, it is increasing so fast that any value you could find would be immediately out of date
