Jeffrey Epstein Dead.

[david small]

Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire, was found dead in his cell in prison.
All those baying for his blood can now consider his participation finalised.

Getting worse?

Petspeak is an interesting literary sub-genre rich in allusion and with a keen take on the human condition if only in its parochial AB forms.

I was waiting for pepe le phew to tell us how Epstein hung himself with Jesse Smollet's rope.

The big "what the" in the US at the moment is that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(or Occasional as she is known), the New York Democrat, is demanding "answers". When she gets the answers she will know what the questions are. Assisted suicide seems to keep cropping up over there, Y'all.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Occasional cortex, I think.

[vetuste_ennemi]

She's co-written a book with Jim360.

God knows what they find to talk about.

"I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

Trump, in happier days.

It's a shame that Trump didn't think to tell people why he'd ended the friendship, then. It's also notable that Trump and Epstein were both named in a 2016 suit that was going to be (but in the end wasn't) filed.

But in some sense my point is only that everyone rich and famous, who knew Epstein, risks being smeared by this. Pointing fingers at your political foes whilst ignoring those at your heroes seems, at the very least, premature. And with people like Prince Andrew also caught up in it all, it's apolitical as well.

For my part, I'd hope that Trump isn't caught up in this.

Trump did tell people why he ended the "friendship" jim. It is a known fact for those of us who keep an eye on such things. Epstein had tried to "procure" a young girl that was working for Trump in his nightcub, members only bar and restaurant. When the girls father complained and brought it to Trump's attention he threw Epstein out and cut all ties. Epstein has spent the last 15 years disparaging Trump and "influencing" the voices against him. Do your research jim.

What a piece of work Ghislaine Maxwell is. Makes me ashamed to be a female.

// Should we not be calling it an 'apparent suicide' until an Inquest/Inquiry is complete?//

basically - foreign jurisdiction - we can say what we lilke
( aamericn press went public about Edward and Mrs Simpson altho I agree this was not about suicide unless you count ....... political suicide

[Peter Pedant]

// When the girls father complained and brought it to Trump's attention he threw Epstein out and cut all ties.//

do we have a reference - report on the internet for that - or perhaps a snide little aside from Eve-arnka (*)?
or is it - - - everyone knows.... ?

Ivanka for it is she: - I neffer liked eez girl-friends, too skeeny and looked about fourteen !

PP says

why is this so difficult for the average Aber to understand?

//why is this so difficult for the average Aber to understand?//

Could it be that the average ABer is not cognisant and able to comprehend the garbage you write?
A typical PP finish. Ter Dahhaaaaaaaa.

[Peter Pedant]

More "strange" details emerging. It is usual for prisoners on suicide watch to share a cell with another "prisoner" who is aware of the situation. Epstein's cell mate was removed, and he was left in solitary, the day before the "suicide". Stranger still that night, it transpires, the guards on duty(one of whom was on the 5th straight day of overtime and the other who was on mandatory overtime) were not told to maintain the suicide watch. So Epstein was "alone" unmonitored and either allowed, or provided with the facility, to kill himself. Wonder if the video cameras were malfunctioning as well to allow an unscheduled visitor. This stinks. Do you think that the "investigators" will get the message and stop investigating?
