Re: News Miscellany
At first I was all like "Once again one of those times when it works out in my favor I have such shitty credit no one will give me a credit card, including Capital One "
Except going back to 2005, EX-Mrs. KA probably had at least 2 or 7 credit cards based on my info, so...I'll take class-action lawsuit for $500, Alex!

Re: News Miscellany
I read that "Trump" was annoyed because it wasn't a big enough cut.
That's a good thing in itself of course, but it doesn't make the actual cut good.

Re: News Miscellany
They don't seem to realize that bringing back coal was for the bosses, not the miners.
Only way Trump does something for them is if the media decides that Trump's indifference is a big story, which it probably won't.
Probably a good opportunity for a Democratic politician to bring some attention to them first. Sounds like something Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren might have an interest in - and something Biden would look at if he were smart.

Re: News Miscellany
Is everyone following what the nationalist racist populist (it's all the rage) prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, and his nationalist racist populist party BJP, is doing in Kashmir?
Kashmir, as you know, is the Muslim-majority region claimed by both Pakistan and India. Parts of the disputed region are administered by Pakistan and parts by India.
Mon 5 Aug:
India revokes disputed Kashmir's special status with rush decree | India News | Al Jazeera
Critics say in doing away with Article 370, Indian government hopes to change Muslim-majority demographics in the state.
Quote:
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi also downgraded Indian-administered Kashmir from statehood to a federally administered territory ruled directly by New Delhi.
India sent some 10,000 additional troops to the region in the lead-up to its announcement, imposing a curfew on parts of the territory, shutting down telecommunications and arresting political leaders.

Pakistan is incensed
Quote:
Pakistan's army chief said the country's military will "go to any extent" to support people in the contested region after India's move
|
Other Muslim nations inc Turkey are upset
China is upset (also has disputed territorial claims in the area).
India has imposed some kind of communications blackout. And used tear gas and pellets on protesting locals.

Epstein whacked himself.
Or any of the related conspiracy theories.

Re: News Miscellany
I'm going with ... both. He did the deed, but he was blackmailed into it but some of the presidents, princes and other paedos on the list. Not sure what would count as blackmail for somebody unconcerned about statutory rape, but there must be something.

Re: News Miscellany
One thing is for sure: quite a few villainous people (many of them in positions of power and authority) are breathing a sigh of relief right about now.
My understanding is that he was on suicide watch since the previous incident. If so, the guards apparently didn't do their job very well.

Re: News Miscellany
That having been said, I've read that the authorities raided Epstein's home and accessed his "blackmail vault" some time ago. If that's the case, Epstein's testimony might not be needed in an ongoing investigation.
Assuming the investigation does go on ...

Re: News Miscellany
Apparently, all the evidence gathered can no longer be disputed since only Epstein could dispute.
Lots of law nerds talking today.

Re: News Miscellany
Epstein would seem to have had plenty of motivation to off himself:
1. His reputation was already severely damaged, but his infamy has grown significantly. Even if he somehow managed to get out of prison, he's not getting back to his old life. Not even his old life of "billionaire pedophile who people don't know much about but there are rumors about him and Clinton/Trump".
2. But there's no way the authorities would allow him to have a sweetheart deal, even in exchange for evidence about many other bad actors, given what went down with Acosta. Too much backlash. I doubt he could've gotten less than 10 years in prison and he was already 66. Particularly since he apparently kept a lot of documents and pictures and things, which obviates the need for his personal testimony, the amount of leeway he could get through testifying against others was reduced
3. So he'd probably be spending the rest of his life in prison
4. As a child rapist, which means he'd be a target for other prisoners and would thus likely either be in solitary or at constant risk of being assaulted, or murdered
5. Not to mention he might still be at risk for assassination
Not a great outlook for him.
So any conspiracy theory that relies on him being actively murdered seems silly. It would be much easier and harder to trace for someone who wanted him dead to simply pay off (through connections) a guard to give or let Epstein get his hands on shoelaces or whatever it was he needed to hang himself.
But it's not as if this couldn't have happened but by conspiracy. It's not like prison guards 1. care that much about people in custody in the first place 2. in particular, care about pedophile rapists in custody or 3. would expect their negligence leading to a prisoner's suicide would carry serious consequences. Likewise... they're not like all hyper-competent. It could just have been incompetence.
Like, you could imagine that, say, Prince Andrew was paying his fixer actively look into ways to "take care of" Epstein... and Epstein died before they even got that far.

Re: News Miscellany
Aaaand Trump is retweeting a conspiracy theory that Bill Clinton is connected with Epstein's death. That was entirely predictable, and didn't take very long at all.
Trump learned well from his mentor, Roy Cohn: always blame the other guy. *
*I'm not saying that Trump had anything to do with Epstein's death, but he definitely has a vested interest in keeping people distracted, and from investigating the links between Epstein and himself.
