For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.

Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.

(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)

They are.

Odd.

Meme of a group of twenty-something women partying next to an image of a forty something woman drinking wine sadly in front of her laptop. Text reads DREAMS AT 25 No kids, no man, no problem. Just vibes and vacations! REALITY AT 45 Why are all the good men taken? I guess men Just can't handle strong women...
