Funny how these assassinations only happen when trump is president
And so it begins…
First Ozzy, now this 80 year old man.
If you go to Zahadoom you will die…
I don’t know much about the man but he chose an excellent time to die.
Did he fall out a window maybe?
Nah, he was old and sick, so it’s probably natural causes, but it certainly won’t help the conspiracy theorists on the right who’ve been flailing around over Epstein.
A lot of homicides on old people go unnoticed though, as their deaths are just declared natural without any proper investigation e.g. autopsy.
There’s no evidence of that here, but I’m fine with right-wing conspiracy crazies freaking out over the possibility.

That line of logic sounds like something Qanon would come up with.

this sounds more like conscience taking its toll on his health
Had JD Vance visited him recently?
He wasn’t a couch.
Or a Pope.
He didn’t meet with the pope. The pope sent someone to meet with him.
He’s applying for the prince of darkness position.
Well, one did just open up…
Love ya!
Actual headline:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Former Attorney Who Secured Plea Deal Dead at 80
Jeffrey Epstein’s Former Attorney Who Secured Plea Deal Dead at 80
damnit, and I like a good conspiracy too… /s
He was also sick before it happened, per Newsweek.
News like this is all too typical for the US these days. There is really no rule of law here anymore - none whatsoever - I am truly glad that I do not live in this absurd banana republic.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all reasonable US citizens, of course, but please forgive me if I am not overly hopeful.
My brother in christ. Are you allergic to reading the articles you comment on?
Or are you not aware of how aging works?
Yes, I’m sorry, I’m allergic nowadays. I can’t take it anymore.
He was 80 years old and sick. Just like with Scalia’s death, there’s no reason to jump to conclusions about foul play. Of course, that won’t stop the Alex Jones crowd from doing it anyway.
Sorry, I fell for the clickbait headline because I wouldn’t have been surprised if this guy had “killed himself.” It’s a bit like The Onion; it’s hard to tell the difference between that and US news, and I don’t read articles about it anymore because I don’t see the point.
What’s with the headline - “found dead?” His law partner said he died, at 80, after a long illness. Nowhere in the article, following that headline, did it mention he was “found dead,” which, juxtaposed in the same sentence as Epstein, makes it sound nefarious, when in fact, it was just an old guy dying after an unnamed prolonged illness. My guess would be cancer. Not exactly a “found dead” context.
Interesting how you, a seemingly random commenter, seems to have personal knowledge of the death of a lawyer with ties to Epstine.
How did I do?
Can’t we just do the GOP playbook and make up a bunch of bullshit, spread rumours, intentionally ignore the facts and live in dipshitland? The answer is no but I do wonder what it’s like over there
No that just allows differently colored snakes to take over, we don’t beat this by stooping to their level — at least not that level.
Probably something like, “found dead in his bedroom when the nurse went to check in on him in the morning”. My MiL died in hospice, at home; she wasn’t hooked up to a ton of machines, so we don’t know exactly when she died. She was dead when my spouse woke up from napping.
The title of the post ≠ the headline of the article, which make it all the more problematic.
Lol. This will destroy any progress they thought they were making burying the Epstein story, even if it is natural causes
killing Ozzy was successful in taking the focus away for a few minutes

At least he was old. Did they really have to throw in Theo Huxtable?
As someone who was caught in a rip tide with my 6 y/o son, it has to be one of the top worst ways to die.
Yep RIP tides are no laughing matter. I was lucky enough when it happened to me I just ended up several hundred feet down the beach. Once you are in it. It can be way harder to get out than a lot of people might think.
Yes, we needed help getting out. I was swimming parallel as needed and kept pushing my son out 2-3 feet ahead of me so I was motivated enough to swim to him. After a few minutes, a young man, probably 20s, came in to help.
and a very traumatic experience even when you survive. does he still like swimming in the ocean? I know I didn’t after my experience
Good question. Haven’t really been to the beach with him in a very long time. That was 21 years ago.
“guys, did we do this? was this one us? i’m kinda freaking out over here”
Putin kills people all the time. Everybody knows it was him but he’s still in power.
It doesn’t matter if this keeps the story alive as long as no one faces actual consequences for it.
The prosecutor who offered that joke of a deal WAS GIVEN A CABINET POSITION by The Dipshit.
Acosta was the secretary of labor for 2 years. He’s still alive.
Was that the deal that gave immunity to any of Epstein’s co-conspirators?
“at the age of 80 after an illness”… Not that anyone is going to read that far.
The world’s elite rulers are credibly accused of molesting children for decades and doing everything possible to deny it, including seemingly the murder of the alleged Israeli spy that has evidence of their crimes. His lawyer who potentially knows way too much conveniently dies when he’s granted legal protection to speak up, and we should just accept that 80 year old sick man died?
Maybe, but you’d be very naive to dismiss foul play.
You’d be naive to jump right to that conclusion.
The worldwide pedophile ring of rich people definitely does exist. That doesn’t mean we throw out rational skepticism in other ways.
I didn’t jump to any conclusions, I simply didn’t dismiss it outright and stop engaging critically as soon as I see the official narrative of “80 year old sick man dies”
“Not dismiss” <> “jump to”.
cough slow poisoning cough
Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t quick, but it’s effective.
The ole’ “Get them addicted to cigarettes when theyre 12” assassination plan
No one believes that.
Clearly it was Beiber that popped him.
Reading his history he was famous for defending assholes getting scot free or getting much less than they deserved. Was one of those “if you have the money he’ll fix it”
That’s kind of the job of a defense attorney. By definition, most of his clients are going to be scumbags. He’s no different than any other defense attorney, except some of his clients tend to be celebrities.
It’s a requirement, and a flaw, of the adversarial justice system, particularly where lawyers arent appointed, but hired. It breaks down if there isn’t a vigorous defense of the accused, but it is exacerbated by money giving access to more capable defense, which can lead to rich people having a license to do whatever they want, up to and including killing their spouses.
Your daily reminder that ~1% of the population are high-functioning (not actual murderer) psychopaths.
