Image of a post on some social media platform by someone named joethepleb. It features a map of the new district maps in VA, with like 9 or 10 of them in various shades of blue, and one in red. The caption reads, "I'm not sure I understand the issue. Half the proposed map is still red." Which is correct.

Peter Mandelson was best pals (his words) with Jeffrey Epstein while Epstein had full signature rights over all Wexner’s assets, including Abercrombie & Fitch.

The Abercrombie & Fitch CEO has been charged with sexually exploiting young boys and trafficking boys for sex internationally at that time

My hometown was destroyed by Wexner and Epstein in the 90s, and a lot of the shit that happened there seems like a dry-run for US politics today. The golf courses there use as much water as the entire almond crop of California.

Wexner let Epstein have a lot of control over things at Abercrombie and there was a huge scandal at the time about them selling thongs aimed at pre-teen girls which had things like "Cherry" and "Sexy" printed on them.

the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.
