I have no idea what is normal or very little or a whole lot. Not a clue. Seems the Italian government is in the same boat. The entire stockpile of condoms Italy set aside for two weeks at the Olympic Village in Milan was exhausted in only three (3) days.

It would be something if the only person taken down by the Epstein files is the British prime minister, who otherwise had nothing to do with any of it.

Before and After the Trigger Press That Killed Renee Good
Regardless of whether deadly force was legally justified, Renee Nicole Goodβs death was preventable.
"[E]ven if Rossβs deadly force was justified in the moment he fired his weapon, what much of the nation has now seen was not professionalized or situationally appropriate law enforcement. It was a series of incredibly bad choices leading to an unnecessary death," writes @michael-feinberg.bsky.social

The plan here seems clear: throw the admiral who followed Hegseth's orders under the bus. Of course, he should have resigned rather than follow them, like Admiral Alvin Holsey did, but still. "Got your back" means "throw you under the bus."
