Oh Cthulhu, this is like a periscope into a septic tank...

Yes almost no one has been held accountable for any of it, "weird"?

What accountability would you suggest?

We're going to send people to jail based purely on hearsay from Epstein or his affiliates?

As "The Rest Is Politics" podcasts points out, the meagre consequences mostly came to Brits: Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew aka Andrew Mountbatten, and the former UK embassador to the US.

Americans..?

What about... investigations...

If the evidence is strong enough, sure. But as much as I like a "the elites are pedophiles" witchhunt, given that the Biden administration sat on it, it's probably safe to conclude the evidence isn't great. The Trump administration is trying to get another wack at it, but given their recent history of investigations, it's probably safe to conclude that's purely politically motivated than some cold case that got cracked.

Americans don't really do accountability all that much. People there who get to face the consequences are usually the ones that significantly harmed the financial interests of the very rich. Madoff, Holmes, Bankman. They operate more on a vengance than accountability system.

Eternal shame and public oppobrium. At minimum, elected officials connected with impropriety should step down, and the public should be so disgusted that they have no hope of ever serving in public office again.

The Biden administration sat on many thing, their total passiveness is no indication of anything. After all, they let the Jan 6 coup attempt go by with nothing but a strongly-worded speech that no one listened to. At this point, there is zero doubt remaining that Trump is indeed a pedophile and a rapist, just click on his node in TFA and read all we know about him. If that is not enough to get him actually convicted, then this country is truly and utterly fucked, and there's nothing to do but to wait for it to crumble under the weight of its own stupidity and corruption.

Not really, given that anyone who might hold them accountable is also in the graph somewhere.

It is very funny that the "unaccountability shield" stops at the US border, though, so it's taken out Prince Andrew.

Mandelson will probably rise again. After all, he survived the (consequences of) the Iraq war. Note that he got the job without an interview: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cglg63n63wdo

Shouldn't he be in jail? I wouldn't say it's taken him out ?

"Should", maybe, but given that the witness is dead no reasonable prospect of a conviction, regardless of the aggravating factors of it being hard to secure a conviction for someone famous, or for so long after the event. He's losing a lot of money and seems to be being cut off by his family, at least.

how is being in this graph bad or preventing accountability?

there's Obama in there only because related to Trump via "invited to White House lunch", now he is part of septic tank?
