The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

It’s 39 days beyond the statutory deadline.
JUST IN: DOJ says its attorneys have reviewed and redacted “millions” of pages of Epstein Files material and should complete their review in the “near term.” But they say there’s no specific date or ballpark for the release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

On Thursday Trump made a multi billion dollar PERSONAL bet on a competing energy source and Monday he straight attempted to cancel potential competition.

I guess manners, decorum, good taste, gratitude, generosity and other things I learned about as a child no longer are prerequisites for our leaders. They just need to blurt out whatever their base desires and emotions are at the moment. What has happened to this country?
