Kind of crazy how little has changed in over 100 years when it comes to the intersection of scaremongering about foreigners, "corruption of women" and moral panics.

If TV and movie executives are not lined up around the block offering to turn that story into a movie, they are failing at their jobs.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch investigation.

In 2019, federal prosecutors asked NM officials to stop investigating the Epstein ranch, claiming they would share info with local authorities. Local investigators handed all their evidence to the feds, who shared...nothing. www.abqjournal.com/news/feds-as...

The right-wing's weird cuck fetish on full display back then, I see.

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

"Mom takes solace in police shooting neighbor's dog, after unrelated cat scratched her son".

Why is Canada ignoring the Modi government ordering the murder of Canadian citizens?

I'm more concerned about him starting the war at all, rather than failing to do it according to some pointless rituals.

It's a bargain.

Holds up

We've known this for years now, and all the evidence keeps piling up, but we refuse to actually make that change.

That's because we prioritize puritanical moralizing in our institutions rather than actually following the evidence.

And they'll always be rewarded for punching left to prove their "moderate" credentials.

Rewarded by companies, lobby firms, boards of directors, etc...

At this point the only thing that matters is throwing his ass in jail.

I blame The West Wing for a lot of this.

It brainwashed a whole generation of Democratic staffers into thinking that looking intelligent and projecting an image of "moderate compromise" was more important than winning by being rude or stubborn in ways that make for less gratifying television.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

The scariest thing to a lot of people is that there's nothing irrational or insane about society's "monsters" at all.

People can just choose to do horrific evil any time, and society is more likely to facilitate it or reward them than to stop them.
