This is canon for me. Mary knew what she was doing, Mary had agency.
This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Remember when Trump very confidently stated he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it?
Maybe there are reasons why he was so damn sure about that.
Maybe he’d already been getting away with far worse.

Trump went through all the trouble of releasing redacted Epstein Files then uploaded the files but used Acrobat to redact text making it highlightable and now the real files have leaked showing Trump was accused of raping a teenager who was found dead

Not the sharpest tools. I remember when Paul Manafort got caught falsifying subpoenaed documents because he didn't realize that Adobe Acrobat leaves metadata records of changes.

No, people are not exaggerating the significance of what's going on at Heritage. We're talking massive capital flight, in every sense of the word. It will never be the same, and it will be less powerful.

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.

The US government has deported a US citizen with a Maryland birth certificate they claim is fake.
This goes way beyond even denaturalizing an immigrant citizen. This person was born here.

No wonder they fucked up the redaction, trying to redact trump from the Epstein files is like trying to redact Frodo from the Lord of the Rings.

"On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case," the assistant US attorney said in the email.
Flight records show Trump "traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," an assistant US attorney from the Southern District of New York wrote in an email dated January 8, 2020.

BREAKING:
The new Epstein documents include several tips that were collected by the FBI about Trump's involvement with Epstein and parties at their properties in the early 2000s. The documents do not show whether any follow-up investigations took place or whether any of the tips were corroborated.

BREAKING: A new drop of Epstein files has several mentions of Trump.
There are notes from an assistant U.S. attorney in New York about the number of times Trump flew on Epstein's plane — including one flight that included just Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old woman, according to the notes.

Per WaPo: The new batch of Epstein docs were available for several hours Monday on DOJ's website but appeared to have been taken down around 8pm.
The docs were reposted just before midnight. It was not immediately clear whether further redactions of the documents had been made.

Team Trump was out there working with Russia to hack and release pics of Hunter Biden’s dick.
Then over the next four years the Biden DoJ just sat on a trove of evidence that Trump was Epstein’s rape wingman.
