“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.
Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.
“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”
Was it because she started screaming about how much the DOW is up? (much less than it was projected to be under competent leadership)
This hearing was a total disaster for Bondi. There was no hiding what a monster she is, and it’s now come out that photographers captured images of her burn book which included info from illegal DOJ surveillance of members of Congress search histories of the Epstein files. Bondi is spying on Congress while they review the Epstein files, a blatant violation of the separation of powers.
I’m sorry to upend your thiughts, but the dow is going really well right now.
if you have empathy/ a conscience/ a soul–trump is not appointing you to anything
Pam Blondi the lapdog
The hearing was almost an exact repeat of what I have seen from Bondi in the recent past. Why did they think grilling her again would result in a different outcome?
The thing that kills me about this whole shitshow is this.
You have women working for an incredibly powerful, wealthy. charismatic, connected, bullying man. If she goes along with him she will be ok but if she steps out of line she will lose everything, maybe even be killed. It will be absolutely unimaginably horrific. She has no friends but the ones who are friends with this man, no support besides what this man allows. She is dependent on him for everything. She gets credible death threats from enemies. She derives power from her association with him and takes some pride in surviving the shit that has come her way.
Now. Obviously I am describing a woman being abused here. But am I describing Bondi or the Epstein victims?
Bondi doesn’t see her own abuse. And that’s the saddest part of all of this to me. She looks down on these women, thinks she’s better than them. She’s just like them. Just as used, just as disposable.
Bondi chose the situation she currently is in. Epstein’s victims did not.
Does that negate the fact that she’s being abused? I don’t disagree, but victims often stay with powerful abusers.
Do you genuinely believe Melania has always consented without duress to what Donald does?
I was talking about Pam Bondi, not Melania
1 in 5 people you meet lack empathy. I got these numbers from reporting the US military made to the office of general accounting. The military gives everyone a psychiatric evaluation. Its the only place to get a accurate number on this. Due to the fact that almost all of them avoid any type of therapy. I can’t find the link right now but if I find it later I will post it.
Edit: Here you are. For my not surprising number of doubters. This is where I started when I went down the path toward finding the numbers I’m using. I rarely bookmark anything on my phone as its barely useful when doing anything serious but I bookmarked these pages on it.

Its up to all of my detractors here to read through it. Here is a hint if you disagree and get upset reading it you may be one of the people I’m talking about. Not that you will admit it.
If you read this and notice that some of the people around you who cause you pain and stress act and do these things to you. You may be a victim. I encourage you to seek therapy. Those that have this problem will not want you to and try to convince you its not right to do so.
The most common thing they will do is try to scare you and embarrass you. The best thing you can do is not tell them until you have been in therapy for a while. There is no point in arguing with them. They will never admit fault. Its one of their most telling traits. A inability to admit fault and truly apologize. The best they can ever do is feel sorry you feel that way. Not sorry they hurt you but just sorry you hold them accountable for it. That is how they are crippled emotionally.
The only caveat is that people who want to be soldiers aren’t necessarily representative of the general population. Plenty of people join the military because they want to kill people.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the number is around 20% of those who enlist.
The only place to get an accurate number on this thing you should totally believe about everyone you meet is a test that the military definitely doesn’t give to everyone but can maybe be sourced probably.
Nope. The only place to get any idea about a true number is the military. Anyone who needs a security clearance gets tested. Which is more and more everyday. Anyone who fucks up gets tested. Which is most of them. There is no other place that can give you a accurate number due to the nature of people with no empathy. Instead of arguing with me go look for numbers on Cluster B disorders Particularly NPD. Anyone who lacks empathy exhibits it in some form. What you will find is a very low number of these people seek out help. Most of the testing done in the civilian world is court ordered. They will never seek out help for something they see as a superpower. What possible problem could there be for not giving a shit about others?
There is no other source with as large of a sampling of US citizens. I really wish I had time to find that site with all the information about it. It had a huge number of nested pages outlining the psychology of these assholes.
The only other place where testing is common is among people who are in a psychology field, either as a student or a practicing professional.
The number is 1 in 5 and its probably higher than that. I don’t care what you believe I know I’ve developed a really good skill at spotting them. Plenty of tells with their sort.
Cool cool. And how does this source you wish you could find about a biased sample of the public, the only one possible of course, quantify “lacks empathy”.
Go away. when I have time and at home I will find it and post it but I’m sure you will find fault with it as well.
Until then I will remained convinced that 20 percent of the entire human population is some quantified amount of psychopathic.
links in my original post. I drew three people or three accounts arguing against it this time. Not one in five but consider the subject and the subjects of the subject.
First source says .5 percent of the population and 20 percent of the military. Which is exactly what you were questioned about.
1. The military is a biased sample.
2. The military is not the only source of statistics.
Also, kind of a shit source that doesn’t appear to reference anything, to be fair.
