- Just spent the afternoon calling banks and the phone company to continue sorting out my dad's estate. My emotional tank is now empty for the day...
- Meant to type in "whitehouse.gov" into the search bar, but accidentally typed "shitehouse.gov." Certainly closer to the truth...
- We'll be rewatching the movie "Best In Show" tonight: a documentary about my parents and all their friends when I was growing up.
- We tried someone different to help us with our first annual visa renewal vs. the folks who'd gotten the visas through in the first place (basically, at the time, back in Dec, money was a significant problem). 1/2
- Turns out she hadn't even started mine until today, after I told her I'd just received a notice that they needed to be submitted, and tomorrow's the last day to submit them before they're considered late (2 months before the current visas expire). Will NOT be doing that again. Grrr. 😡 2/2
- Hot take: the Epstein operation was a bipartisan activity with participants from "both sides of the aisle" and coverups by both Democratic and Republican administrations. This extends to the justice agencies of other countries that doubtless have evidence of these crimes and sandbagged it.
- Epstein and Maxwell were at the center. Ring 1: their "clients" Ring 2: their enablers/facilitators Ring 3: those who weren't directly involved, but knew what was going on Ring 5: Government officials who knew, but chose not to act. Add the victims and their parents, families, and friends. 1/2
- THOUSANDS of people globally knew about this. It went on for decades, and I suspect hasn't actually ended. 2/2
