Europe is prosecuting the Epstein Pedos. Trump is protecting his friends

Corruption is everywhere and varies in degree. The US likes to claim a mantle of superiority when it seems quite the opposite. We have a bully/greatest conman ever in the white house

Are they?

Price Andrew got a name change, but hasn’t had any real penalty to date. He had the Queen protecting him. Mandelson probably will end up in court but it won’t be for anything related to child abuse.

For the British Royals, I suspect becoming persona non grata is more impactful than a jail sentence.

More impactful than prison? Nah. Why not both?

Class-based systems get pretty weird at the top.

		Yes, but also, for Andrew to have behaved this way, a lot more people than him had to be involved. It appears they get no sanction.
