Whats the point bro? Yall have already made up your minds and even if I spend the next 3 hours recouping everything I've seen, yall still wouldn't gaf or even read it
I believe there are some rapists and pedophiles in elected office in the USA. But based on statistical probability, not specific evidence.
I'd read it, but I'm skeptical that you have reliable evidence.
Im glad your the 1 in a million to actually be open the the idea, but to be fair, they aren't just going to out themselves as pedophiles, especially when they've been shown time and time again to investigate themselves and find nothing wrong
So we have to assume based on their actions instead of their words. The 2 biggest examples i can think of off the top of my head are are the subway guy, and them hosting csam
you remember the guy from subway, there's no reason why it should take the FBI almost 5 years after being given hundreds of pieces of extremely incriminating evidence (videos, voice recording, etc) to arrest him, its as if they purposely pushed it back as long as they could. Also, The US hosts more CSAM than any other country in the world, making up about a third of all the global CSAM out there, and one can only wonder, is hosing cp really the best way to "catch" predators? Especially after seeing how reluctant they were for the subway guy.
Of course not, that's why I asked if you had evidence.
I think it might be more accurate to say that the US has detected more CSAM within its borders than any other nation.
Also, I reckon that the US also has more web hosting generally than any other country in the world (36% of global webhosting).
I think what you're perceiving as reluctance to prosecute Jared Fogle is actually reluctance to bungle a prosecution by being hasty. Just like many people are frustrated with how long it has taken for Donald Trump to see any consequences, it takes time to assemble evidence to form an airtight case.
I think the fact that Epstein was able to kill himself while in jail is much more compelling evidence that there is at least one very powerful pedophile. But how can we figure out who it is? Do you have any specific evidence that would help with that?
