Be direct, and ask questions. People enjoy talking about themselves. Don’t be self disparaging—you can tell the truth and own it at the same time. Stand up for yourself—don’t become a pushover because it is a woman asking. Don’t be afraid to say what you really think. Look at the eyes, only glance at the boobs.
No bullshit, just ignorance. Thank you for the extra information, no need to be rude.
I’m not saying he wasn’t guilty, I’m saying he was an operator in a system that was already corrupt rather than doing something unusually criminal. I am no expert, so please correct me if I have misunderstood something.
As I read it, he was found guilty of taking campaign bribes from wealthy oil businesses because it was a requirement for having any chance of getting elected in Brazil. Petrobras had essentially become a criminal organization that was controlling huge numbers of politicians, and their support was a requirement to win elections. Lula seems to have participated in the corrupt system, but it does not seem like he was the person who made it be that way.
When I say his arrest was for political reasons, I mean the embarrassment of him being drug out of his home in his underpants seemed to be more about damaging the reputation of the Workers Party rather than any suggestion that he was the kind of criminal who needed to be taken by a forceful raid. I probably worded my first post a little poorly.
I wouldn’t be so sure. They drug Lula out of his house in the dead of night in his underpants and imprisoned him for corruption previously. It now seems that the arrest was for more political rather than criminal reasons, but it also shows that the Brazilian people have a much larger appetite for imprisoning former presidents than Americans do. I would not be surprised if Bolsonaro sees real jail time.
Of course, redneck rapist. It’s not like the mustache has been one of the most popular facial hair styles in history…
Behold this list of “redneck rapists”:

Totally agree. Epstein had thousands of contacts in his lifetime. The “willing to fly on a plane” list is likely going to be larger than the “willing to fuck a kid” list, even though some people will be on both.
There are a lot of sides to this. Some of them may have seen things and been oblivious, others may have seen things that registered later, while still others may have known about the crimes. That is why we need more than a flight log list.
I grew up in a very affluent family, and attended all sorts of political and corporate events in my youth along with my cousins. None of us were exploited or invited there to be exploited—our families thought it was good for us to meet influential and powerful people because they (foolishly) believed those people represented the best of American society. In some cases they were, in other cases they were later found out to be criminals. The thing that makes these people so dangerous is that they have many different modes, and are masters of switching masks depending on the audience.
While I want them to release as much information as possible, this list seems misleading. The article says this is a list of people who flew on the plane, and many of them are not accused of any wrongdoing.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d be quite surprised if Cate Blanchett was looking for erotic massages from underage girls. The list of people who ever flew on the plane is going to be massive, and not all of them will be the type of people who he allowed into his criminal conspiracy. It’s just like how many more people attended a Diddy Party than attended a Diddy Party After Dark.
Make Epstein Conspiratorial Again
One of the nice things about being American is that we still have the right to call our own country feces, just like you have the right to disagree with me.
That said, I feel like we’ve both expressed ourselves here, so I’m just going to move on. Hope you have a good week, dude.
The fungus definitely sits around all day musing “why walk when you can ride?” /s
This is one of those really rare moments where you get to say “you’re right, Alex Jones.”
On that point we will simply have to disagree. It is much more dangerous legally for someone to visit America on a visa than it is to visit Mexico on one right now.
I don’t mean to project anything, I’m just trying to understand the undercurrent of hostility that I have felt from your replies, amigo.
I’m no fun-guy, but I don’t think it works that way. When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels. I imagine a zombie fungus driving an ant is akin to a person riding a Silt Strider in Morrowind—a body horror vehicular experience.
The preservatives he consumes are at risk of pickling him for eternity.
I see now, you’re offended about my opinion of America being the shit in the shit sandwich.
Ok, I’m willing to flex a little on that. It is currently shitty for some travelers, specifically ones who are not white or wealthy, in ways that it has not been previously. Overall, it has some opportunities for residents that may be better than other countries.
Likewise, Mexico has some problems for poor residents that sometimes make them choose to seek a better life elsewhere. As a travel destination though, I stand by my opinion that it is a good place to visit.
Happy?
Fine, I’ll concede and move passed the murder rate.
We are talking about the risk to travelers. America currently has a government sponsored effort to detain people who are visiting here, sometimes even when they are here legally. Mexico is not doing that. The risk to travelers is pretty damn clear right now.
Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t think that the gang violence rate breaks down differently for the US—before this latest ICE takeover, I would have said it is safe for travelers here too.
Please see my other comment about how the statistics can be misleading.
I am in no way saying that Mexico is utopia, they have their problems just like all countries do. Wealth inequality is a big problem. That doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t travel there though. If you are a traveler from outside of North America, no Mexican version of ICE is going to put you in Alligator Auschwitz.
Also, it is worth noting that many of the immigrants coming through Mexico are from South America, where there are even larger problems with poverty than in Mexico. Sure, plenty of Mexicans are coming too, but not all brown people are running from the same problem.
This sounds like more of an issue with how you’re behaving with other men.
