Jeffrey Epstein expressed sympathy for Brett Kavanaugh as he faced sexual assault allegations during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings, according to newly released files. The Justice Department released emails and text messages sent by the late sex offender during Kavanaugh's contentious 2018 confirmation and suggested that Republicans should have been harder on accuser Christine Blasey Ford, reported The Guardian. "Ive sat in Kavanaugh chair. Im thinking of November," Epstein sent Sept. 22, 2018, to a person whose name was redacted. It's not clear what he meant by his reference to November.

Birds of a feather.

Somewhere out there is a graveyard filled with dead female children murdered by rich and powerful men.

And a rich friend of Trump/Epstein/MAGA has just purchased that ranch and won't say why.

Hi Zed:

There is a rumor in federal law-enforcement circles that Jimmy Hoffa was buried somewhere on the large Michigan property of a member of the notorious "Purple Gang," Jewish assassins in Detroit that were used by the Italian mob to whack other Italians because as out-of-town Jews they wouldn't be recognized by the target in NYC or Chicago.

This particular Purple Gang member allegedly helped dispose of bodies since his great asset was his large rural property.

CORIOLANUS ... Your Hoffa story reminds me of two episodes from filmdom.

The first is when Tony Soprano orders Tony B and Christopher to hoik on over to Uncle Pat Blundetto's farm in Kinderhook, New York, and remove three bodies. (The Sopranos "Cold Cuts" episode.)

The second occurs in Good Fellas as Henry, Jimmy and Tommy excavate the rotted remains of another gangster. Henry pukes while the others remain unperturbed, Tommy shouting: "Hey, Henry, Henry, hurry up, will you? My mother's gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us!"
Jimmy Conway: Oh, hey, Henry, Henry! Here's an arm!
Henry Hill: Very funny, guys.
Jimmy Conway: Here's a leg!
Tommy DeVito: Here's a wing!

All that's missing is: "Here's Hoffa!"

Hi Doc Sarvis

Thanks very much.

I've driven through Kinderhook many times and will look for that episode you mentioned.

The original Goodfellas book was just as good as the film.

In Goodfellas, Nicholas Pileggi and Henry Hill didn't know precisely who Tommy's assassin was, so they used an "old-timer" for the scene.

Henry Hill and Nicholas Pileggi would learn after the movie was produced and released that Tommy's hitman was allegedly John Gotti.

Henry and his cohorts were Lucchese Crime Family (LCF), but John Gotti was Gambino Crime Family (GCF), like we have the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF).

Billy Batts grew up in the LCF part of Queens, but ended up in the GCF and a "made man."

John Gotti supposedly disapproved of the magnificent Lufthansa heist at the JFK cargo area, calling it a "crazy Mick job" [sic] that would bring too much federal heat on the five crime families, which it did.

But methinks Gotti was also a bit envious. JFK airport and the arteries in and out were LCF territory, hence the lucrative truck jackings and weekly tribute Big Paulie from Jimmy the Gent.

#8 Have you determined how many of your former students have taken their own lives?

It would be an interesting data point to ponder.

What does Epstein have to do with Trump.
What does a Trump appointee have to do with Trump.
I dunno. Maybe a Republican can tell me.

Needs to be four short words on a red hat.

TRUMP RAPED
THOSE GIRLS

Is the best I've got, but I'm something of a straight shooter and linear thinker.

I'm sure someone more creative could come up with something clever.

Raping underage girls is an atrocity that should be punished by death. Immediately if not sooner.

Then again, how much worse is it than ordering your DOJ to change the results of the Presidential Election for you?

How surprising is it that someone who would do the former would also try to do the latter?

Inquiring minds.....
