I follow Dan Rather on Substack and he has a good article on how the US is far behind holding people accountable for raping kids.
“There once was a time in this country when accountability mattered. The very thought of associating with, much less maintaining a close friendship with a known sex offender would be career ending — or something close to that. Politicians would have been embarrassed, even ashamed, of their actions.
Today? Not so much. Allegations are swept under an ever-growing rug. Names are redacted not for the victims, but for the victimizers.
But some governments do still care about common decency. We’re seeing from them what it was once like in the United States: significant repercussions for those with close ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The largest Epstein file drop to date on January 30 sent heads rolling across Europe.”
