    “Tartaglione has faced claims that he tried to murder Epstein while they were in the same cell. In July 2019, Epstein was found unresponsive and later told a guard that Tartaglione “tried to kill him”, a source told CBS. Epstein also told prison guards that Tartaglione was trying to “extort money from him and stated that if he didn’t pay him, that he would beat him up,” according to the outlet.”

    Is the pardon for getting his job done?

    Can we at least make a taxpayer funded reality tv show about this at this point? I mean come on, we are footing so much of the bill for this crap and not even getting that much entertainment value out of it.

    Call it The Big Beautiful Show it will make lots of content for future people to mercilessly make fun of while huddled in caves after the nuclear apocalypse.

      Don’t encourage them… This timeline is dystopian enough. I’d rather we didn’t add The Running Man to the list of fucked up shit going on.

        Don’t worry about it too much. It’s on Its way. We have some of the foundational elements, shows like COPS, Judge Judy, UFC, Survivor, Repo Games, American Gladiators, etc. Combine that with the president selling pardons and prisons loaning out prisoners for labor, and we’re nearly there. We just need to buckle down and create a situation in which fighting to the death is an acceptable form of the death penalty and in which “game show contestant” is a valid prison job. It wasn’t too long ago that public executions were a common form of entertainment. Once that gets brought back in broadcast form, we’re nearly there.

            Thunderdome > Thunderball > Rollerball…Rollerdome? I feel like there a thunder-cougar-falcon-bird pattern going on here. I propose we build the Thunderrollerballdome and just see what happens.
