Epstein displayed a combination of extreme self-centeredness, a grandiose sense of self, a need for admiration, a lack of empathy, and a, propensity for control and exploitation.
He was a sociopath.

"This is not an intellectual giant who has mastered the game of power. Instead, we see an emotionally immature man desperately trying to maintain an illusion of control... who constantly observes, evaluates and catalogues others because he knows no other way to experience himself as significant."

Actually, Epstein's malignant narcissism:
"People like Epstein lack a stable inner self-structure- what Kohut called a "coherent self". This inner fragility is overcompensated for by a grandiose façade that must be constantly fed from outside."

Thanks to the GOP, this is or will be happening in every rural area in the US, not just NW PA. Rural hospitals rely on #Medicaid, which GOP decimated. No maternity or ER care for miles. People will die.

Tell your Rep to restore Medicaid funds.

Epstein Survivor Marijke Chartouni reacted to Andrew's arrest: "If only the US Justice Department acted as decisively. It took British police less than three weeks from the release of the latest tranche of Epstein files to arrest Andrew, making Pam Bondi and Kash Patel look increasingly inept."

Revealed: Epstein cultivated relationship with CBP officer, causing US investigation Guardian review of US justice department files reveals Epstein interacted with six CBP officers. The officer investigated denied any knowledge of trafficking underage girls

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented.

Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

It seems like the us government is mainly a fleet of private jets for grifters

Broeksmit was found dead on the campus of Wilson High School in El Sereno. He appeared to have fallen from a tree, suffering blunt-force trauma, broken ribs, and a spinal fracture. Authorities did not suspect foul play,[2][14][16] and the coroner ruled the death an accident.[1]

Yep. And everybody (white straight jury) all felt bad for him. What a narcissist.

"He grew up in San Francisco and attended Archbishop Riordan High School, until he was expelled for violence."

White was convicted of 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter and served 5 years of a 7 year & 8 month sentence. Less than 2 years later, he died by suicide.
