Ghislaine Maxwell gets arrested
Well, it's a start...
If you showed up for your daily dose of anti-Trump material, don’t worry; he commuted Roger Stone’s prison sentence, he’s trying to force schools to reopen whether it’s safe or not and he’s now attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci for being insufficiently loyal and overly honest.
And that’s just the stuff Trump did over the weekend.
Lots of Trump cartoon material currently available and I imagine I’ll be drawing something about him soon…like 30 minutes from now.
But last week I drew about Ghislaine Maxwell being arrested and I wanted to post the cartoon mainly so you could see how much work I put into the fish, although the Maxwell story is interesting and well worth comment.
So why don’t I?
As you probably already know (unless you’ve been living under a rock which current events make a reasonable choice) Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender – procuring an underage girl for prostitution – who had a shit ton of money and despite his criminal record as a sleazeball, lots of rich and famous friends.
Some of those friends flew on his airplane (nicknamed “The Lolita Express”) and/or visited his private island (nicknamed “Pedophile Island”or “Orgy Island” or “Island of Sin.”…take your choice).
Epstein got arrested again in July of 2019 and there was speculation that he might start naming well-known names in exchange for lenient treatment. It’s also been rumored Epstein had secretly recorded sexual encounters between famous men and under-aged girls.
If you were a pal of Jeffrey Epstein, you might have lots to worry about.
And even if some of the people Epstein hung around with never had sex with under-aged girls or did anything else illegal, they’d still have to explain their willingness to be BFFs with a convicted sex offender who threw parties attended by middle-aged men and girls who looked just old enough to attend Junior Prom at the local high school.
Epstein died in jail and as of right now his death has been ruled a highly convenient suicide. “Highly convenient” is not one of the cause of death categories, although it clearly should be.
It seems likely that a lot of people said, “Thank you, Baby Jesus” when they heard Epstein committed “suicide.” Then the COVID-19 shit hit the Trump Administration fan and the media had other things to worry and write about.
Until Ghislaine Maxwell got arrested.
Maxwell has been accused of helping round up young girls for Epstein to abuse and she was arrested on charges of sex trafficking of a minor and perjury. When I heard she was arrested, the cartoon above seemed appropriate; it was a nice start, but there were plenty more fish in the sea.
Now it’s rumored that Maxwell may name names and according to a New York Post story, she’s being moved from cell to cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn lockup to avoid someone trying to kill her.
Apparently I’m not the only one somewhat skeptical about the Epstein “suicide.”
So I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait to see if any other Epstein Associate fish get caught or the people with the fishing poles decide to settle for Maxwell.
Stay tuned.
