Democrats Doctored Evidence to Try to Dirty Up Trump in Epstein Probe is the title on the article. But that shouldn't be the title. The title should be, Robert Garcia, the guy who tried to get Trump connected to Epstein in all the hearings by running some the depositions, is going to be in charge of the House Oversight Committee. I expect nothing but lies and snow the entire time.

Reply to vxbush in 2:
Yesterday, they said it collapsed into a construction site next door. My guess is that construction destabilized the building that collapsed. We have seen some incompetent construction in NYC recently, like the high-rise that had a beam buckle.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: There were reports about violations at the construction site, which makes it seem likely that was the cause.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: Good guess... that it fell into the construction next door indicates they undermined the foundation.

Reply to vxbush in 2: The building collapse was a couple of neighborhoods away, and the local news has said little if anything more than the national news outlets. As Kosh said upthread, it is likely that incompetent and ill-supervised demolition by the "construction" destruction crew is largely to blame---and who knows whether or not the building which collapsed was being properly maintained?

Russia, the NYC charges, links to Epstein..... True. So it's probably a very good bet that if they haven't found anything by now, they aren't going to. After years of lying and bending the rules, the desperation is getting palpable.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 7: Reply to buzzsawmonkey in 10: How big of an issue is it for buildings to (a) not be maintained or (b) contractors to not follow proper safety protocols for nearby buildings? I mean, I would think (b) would open them up to a huge lawsuit if they aren't following good protocols.

Reply to vxbush in 12: Sleazy contractors get cheap (often illegal) labor; fines are generally cheaper than the savings they get; and they don't keep a lot in assets to lose in a lawsuit. They can rent their equipment - not theirs, so can't be seized. And they undercut honest contractors so they get the business. They might even fake insurance certificates. Fix: Require insurance and verify with the insurance companies, AND have the insurers inspect the contractors' practices and set premiums accordingly. Shoddy practices? Up your premium! Takes fewer inspectors to verify insurance than site practices, and some of that can be done when the permit is issued. Also, the insurers can be required to notify the building inspectors if insurance is canceled. BTW, I dislike insurance companies, but that is how steam boilers became safe; that's how Underwriters' Labs was started. When verifying safety becomes worth money, it gets done better than when done by government.
