“He wanted to have anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex,” Epps said. “He was always asking me to kiss his penis.”

Shocking that a man in power would try to abuse that power. /s

      Democracy in the US*

      In other countries where democracy is in service to the public, these things don’t occur on a scale of notoriety. It’s like, someone does a bad thing and they go to prison.

        That’s accountability. All democracy needs it but most democracies outside the US already have it

        You know, like Prince Andrew in the UK.

          You’re right, prince Andrew should’ve been fired from his publicly elected office.

          Oh wait

            He avoided jail. I haven’t followed that story closely, but Epstein was abusing girls, not women, and I’d assume Andrew is accused of the same.

            And why isn’t he in prison? Oh right, because he’s rich and powerful. The dude diddled girls (or was at least an accomplice to it happening to dozens of girls) and got off with… Losing his job? And you call that accountability?

              I agree, but you were talking about democracy and there’s nothing democratic about Prince Andrew the rapist.
