When Americans talk about “the budget,” they don’t include the CIA/DOD wunderwaffe/Epstein black projects. Those will never be listed no matter what any politician advocates for. When they say “budget” what they really mean is whether cops, companies, the military are funded and whether schools, healthcare, social security, etc. are defunded
No it didn’t lol. They bombed a journalist who was investigating it (or the other leak). Then what? We all moved on.
Fair enough re: the three letter agencies but I still think that having a huge chunk of the pie chart for the budget being left greyed out would be more of a reveal than they'd be comfortable with.
I was using past tense there intentionally and I'd argue that the fact that they had to assassinate people is evidence that they were sweating.
I'd say the same thing about Epstein's flight logs and his trial - that had people sweating (even Prince Andrew who, fortunately, recovered his ability to sweat after many years of intense therapy) then Epstein died under the absolute shadiest of circumstances and then what? The world moved on.
If I wanted to say that the Panama Papers created any significant impact on the world I would have said as much.
