Attention Democrats

 

Are you white? Do you carry guilt for events that happened over a century before you were born?

Do you wish to live a socialist way of life?

 

Come to the Democratic Republic of the Congo!

 

Here you will be truly a minority. There are many languages spoken here, but the main Official Language used for administrative and other dealings is French.

Here in the DNC you can live the Socialist Lifestyle.

 

Do you support electric vehicles for the World?

In the DRC we mine most of the cobalt used in those batteries

Imagine! You can mine cobalt and support the electric vehicle industry directly while sleeping under the Stars

All the while getting first hand experience in how immigrants in your native United States are feeling.

The strange languages, the strange customs, the unfamiliar weather, but with the joy of being part of a socialist country!

Come to us, Brothers and Sisters in Socialism!

Remember, the very first part of our country's name is "Democratic!"

 

(Experiences may vary. Not responsible for poisoning from mine run-off. Chances of Ebola have remained unchanged.)

US appeals court won't revisit Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking conviction

By Jonathan Stempel November 25, 2024

 

NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court has rejected British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's request to revisit its decision upholding her conviction for helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.

In an order on Monday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan denied Maxwell's request that all its active judges review her case, known as en banc review.

A three-judge panel on Sept. 17 rejected several arguments to set aside her 2021 conviction.

 

Maxwell, 62, plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is not required to hear her case. She is serving a 20-year sentence at a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, and is eligible for release in July 2037.

Arthur Aidala, a lawyer for Maxwell, said in an email he was disappointed with Monday's order, and "cautiously optimistic" the Supreme Court would take up her appeal.

Maxwell was convicted on five charges for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein, her former boyfriend, to abuse between 1994 and 2004.

 

In upholding her conviction, the appeals court cited the trial judge's finding that Maxwell played a pivotal role in facilitating abuse that caused "significant and lasting harm."

It also rejected Maxwell's claim that Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in southern Florida, leading to a 2008 guilty plea on state prostitution charges, shielded her from being prosecuted in New York.

In seeking en banc review, Maxwell's lawyers urged the 2nd Circuit to overrule a 1985 ruling that plea agreements bound only U.S. attorneys in districts where they are entered, unless it appeared that broader restrictions were contemplated.

The lawyers said the ruling conflicted with rulings by other federal appeals courts, and "stands in tension" with two Supreme Court decisions concerning plea and immunity agreements.
