The contrast is striking: In Europe, some people whose names come up in the Epstein files are facing consequences — but in the U.S., not so much.

European royals, government officials, politicians and others are losing jobs and titles over their connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. European law enforcement agencies are opening investigations based on recent troves of documents released by the U.S. government.

Prominent Americans with apparent ties to Jeffrey Epstein — including Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick— have so far largely kept their positions of power.

      “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”

      Nice try, this sickness is all over Europe. Show me a first world European country that isn’t afraid of Muslims without an ever growing income gap and missing right wing populist candidates polling higher every year.

      It would be great if this was just a problem with the USA, but it is worldwide.
