“He wanted to have anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex,” Epps said. “He was always asking me to kiss his penis.”

Shocking that a man in power would try to abuse that power. /s

    That’s why democracy needs accountability. And that’s why the powerful hate accountability so much.

      Democracy in the US*

      In other countries where democracy is in service to the public, these things don’t occur on a scale of notoriety. It’s like, someone does a bad thing and they go to prison.

        That’s accountability. All democracy needs it but most democracies outside the US already have it

        You know, like Prince Andrew in the UK.

          You’re right, prince Andrew should’ve been fired from his publicly elected office.

          Oh wait

            He avoided jail. I haven’t followed that story closely, but Epstein was abusing girls, not women, and I’d assume Andrew is accused of the same.

    I’m from NYC and I can tell you, this headline is in no way an exaggeration. The New York City government is in total freefall. There is no more gravity holding things together. Our court system doesn’t function anymore. Our government is “violently disintegrating,” and innocent bystanders are getting vaporized in the process. There is no rule of law, no functioning governing body; it’s Mad Max out here and New Jersey is clinking champagne glasses while we burn. The movie “The Warriors” is now a documentary.
