Still depressing that this isn’t THE story of his first year.

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

It’s really tough for Republicans when they discover that they also have to live in the same world they force us to live in

After the November 2021 elections Biden's people scrambled to find ways to reduce prices arising from a post-pandemic supply shock that implicated complex multinational economic relationships. Meanwhile Trump gets to switch off the RAISE PRICES switch that he flicked on in April.

For every surveillance state to function, there must be a critical mass of people who willingly act as snitches to further the regime's ideology.

I lived through this firsthand, money isn't the motivating factor for these people, it's the satisfaction of seeing people they hate suffer

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Maligning basic, safe OTC medications that most people have to resort to, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, is part of a larger scam to blame people for their health problems (or their children's health needs or problems), so that the administration can claim people don't deserve care or support.

Jed Rubenfeld and his wife Amy Chua also identified JD Vance as a kid from Ohio who could write a book in a way that conservatives would love him.

He wrote the book— it was Vance selling his soul. With help from Chua (also a pipeline to Kavanaugh) and Rubenfeld

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

i just want to stress that this isnt about trump anymore, its about the entire republican party and maga movement covering for a child sex trafficking ring

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

So am I understanding thus right? Michael Wolff does a series of interviews w Epstein over the years & gets clued into the fact that Trump knew about all of it & Wolff seems to take that knowledge &...parlay it into getting a bunch of exclusive access to Trump during his first campaign & admin?

Has anyone ever really explored how messed up it is that Trump and Epstein viewed 90's modeling agencies as young girl pipelines and when Ivanka was 14 he pushed her into that world.

My favorite thing about the 50 year mortgage thing is that it suggests the famous real estate billionaire doesn’t understand mortgages

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out

Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

I hate that their policies alone aren’t reason enough to turn them into pariahs, but I’m starting to think this is how we turn Trump into a generationally scorned figure. Everyone wearing MAGA gear, flying Trump flags, and so on should be endlessly asked why they’re supporting a pedophile.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

You know, Democrats, there really isn't an upper limit on the amount of outrage you can have over the president of the United States being a child rapist. It should be the primary, if not the only thing you talk about. Go ballistic because it's the right thing to do.

crusader tattoo guys vs nordic pagan beardos is a type of right wing internecine conflict I hadn't expected, but which seems so obvious in retrospect

We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

"Low-trust" is a funny term because most of them end up distrusting the people they should trust and extended enormous credulity to those they shouldn't

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Maxwells compliance with Trump also has to be viewed through the lens that Maxwell could reasonably assume that Trump ordered that Jeffrey Epstein be killed while he was in prison.
