just to be clear i think it's perfectly plausible but not extremely likely that Jeffrey Epstein personally paid off Kavanaugh's absurd debts, but i also think that he should be required to prove it was not, in fact, Jeffrey Epstein, who advised Steve Bannon on his confirmation hearing
wild guess based on being proximate in time. i support forcing kavanaugh to disprove it.

There’s a ton of works of prescient fiction that may confuse future audiences because they can be read as commentary on events that post date their creation(Andor, Contagion, OBAA), but I never would’ve guessed The Shield’s “aspiring male political figure photographed giving a blowjob” would be one
