Royal arrest

The antics of the German Usurpers are of very little concern, but still, there's some delight to be had in their predicaments.

I should mention that we saw Craig Ferguson on stage last week when he breezed through St. Louis for a show. Craig had a little story about Meghan Markle, how he had had her on his show many many years ago, and he had promptly forgotten her. She was forgettable. Later she popped up in world news for marrying a prince, and British media scoured videotapes to find an interview with her because they didn’t know anything about her, she was just a cable TV actress.

they found Craig’s interview footage and used that extensively.

He used to have the only late night show worth watching. Now he’s hosting a game show.

They’re like the Kardashians; only with castles.

NPR erroneously reported that never in the history of Britain have senior Royals been arrested and charged. Later, they came back to correct that mentioning King Charles I and the loss of his head.

As a Stuart, it is important I mark this assault upon the Stuart Dynasty. It was kind of a big deal.

oh, please, if there was believable stuff in those Epstein files about Donald Trump, don’t you think the Biden team and the Hillary team would’ve mined that material by now,? Although frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t make something up and insert.

and all of that said, I think Trump knew Epstein, did a certain amount of palling around with him because they were New York/Palm Springs buddies, for a while anyway.

Ha! You gotta be joking! Of course he was “joking” around with more than “buddies”. Look at all the women he was photographed with… the thousand mentions of him in “ the files”. Also, look at the way trump talked about women even before he was elected… grabbing them, etc. It is hard to imagine him NOT being involved just by watching the video of him with his buddy, Epstein.

The story I've seen is that he is charged with "misconduct in office," which carries a maximum sentence of life. There is no mention of sex abuse or trafficking, although one might read between the lines.

The NYT had a list of high profile people who have resigned or otherwise had fallout from the files. Most of them had financial ties, friendships, or correspondence with Epstein, but associations with his sex trafficking ring seem pretty flimsy without more evidence. It's all pretty shady but the commission of actual crimes or related legal charges is implied at best. Not to say they are not a slimy bunch deserving of whatever happens, but some of it seems like a dart toss of wrongdoing.

He gave insider information to Epstein but it only came to light because of his involvement with the sex trafficking.

i’m sure Trump is in the Epstein files so I should change what I said above. I don’t think he was involved in anything like the murders torture and endless trafficking of very young women, girls and children. But Trump is a womanizer so I wouldn’t be surprised if he had his hands on a 17-year-old at some point. And I believe he did write that birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein That Trump claims he did not write or draw.

Maybe the BBC has been talking about this, but I haven’t heard it myself until just late today.


Apparently, King Charles himself is in deep deep Doodoo because he was the one who authorized the payment, the hush money, to Virginia Guiffre. The queen was still alive, but Prince Charles was pretty much acting as Regent while the queen was suffering from multiple cancers at this time.

this has legal implications for him, and you can bet Andrew is going to throw his brother Charles under the bus if he gets a whiff it will help his case. The reporter I heard today predicts an abdication of King Charles is on the horizon.

King Charles was the person who brought his brother back into the family fold after the Queen died, inviting Andrew and his wife Sarah Ferguson to obvious family events where they appeared in front of media. Charles did this in a show of forgiveness because he believes in redemption, but his son William was adamant that this should not happen.

Yeah, trump should receive the same as the people of the UK are doling out to Andrew. Neither should be above the law.
