Trump, Clinton, Epstein; it's lonely at the top

Just to clarify, that’s a couple of POTUS types hanging out with a couple of NYC mayors. No, Epstein didn’t make it to this particular photo-op, but he hung with the same crew.

Today, none of these guys remember anything about Epstein.

Epstein is old news.

Epstein has long been in the habit of paying teenage girls thousands of dollars for a “massage,” or a hand-job, in other words. Apparently a lot of these girls were amenable to coming back the next weekend and making a few more thousand, or perhaps even giving a little extra and getting a bonus!

Why is this shocking? In winner-take-all America, where money has always trumped morality, there are plenty of parents who would consider the fact that their teen daughter made thousands of dollars giving a billionaire a hand-job as a good career move. Not unlike dropping your thirteen-year-old off at a famous Hollywood director’s house for a “photo-shoot.”

The faux outrage over this old news story is quite remarkable, as is the newly resurrected debate as to whether or not or how deeply Epstein was an intelligence asset. Epstein was embroiled in what might have become a major scandal fifteen years ago or so, but fortunately for him, he had enough friends in high places at the time to make it more or less go away.

What’s missing in the coverage of this recycled scandal, at least in most mainstream coverage, is any mention of Mike Cernovich, the guy most responsible for digging up this corpse.

Just like those teenage girls, Cernovich is doing his best with what he’s got.

Isn’t that the American way?
