hard for me to get too upset at the NYT or whoever for "killing" stories about the nation's elite and their own reporters palling around and conspiring with infamous pedophile sex traffickers. at the end of the day, you only have so many pages in the newspaper. and maybe someone in NYC saw a deer?

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

They should study journalists’ brains like they do with football players after they die.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

Biden’s term was basically a whole bunch of people entrusted to protect their nation basically all deciding to just pretend that nothing happened and everything was perfectly normal and that as long as they *acted* like everything was the same as before, everything would go back to the same.

The fact that Dems sat on these - they allowed so much wrongdoing to go unpunished and undisclosed - is an argument that they all just need to be replaced, and cements Biden’s term as a complete and total failure.
When Biden was in the White House, and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, why did they keep all this Epstein stuff covered up?
Believed it’d be improper, running counter to the goal of restoring public perception of impartiality? That’s the relatively least damning answer I can think of.

The people & institutions who might have some ability to impose consequences on Trump -- even if only political consequences -- are fucking cowards. They could just impose the consequences now, but they don't want to, even though, as I said, it's all already quite clear. So they're waiting.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

Democrats just gave the pedophile president the budget he wanted. They crossed their own base to do so. They betrayed everyone who receives ACA subsidies to make the pedophile president more powerful. There is no adequate punishment for this.
