R-QAnon isn’t done in politics, unfortunately. That she is some kind of hero because she deigns to challenge Trump is an indictment of the GOP, and indirectly all of us, for our collective neglect of our democracy that got us to this point.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (QAnon-GA) to resign from Congress. I guess I’d take her over the sycophants, but that’s a low bar. She can now spread conspiracy and anti-Semitism more easily. And will be quickly replaced with a Trumper. And run for another office. Meh.

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.

If Trump can publicly ask his personal lawyer, AG Bondi, to set up a $230 million payment to himself, why shouldn’t his Senate enablers try “self-serving, self-dealing kind of stuff” themselves? The Trump Party’s open corruption is staggering. What’s happening behind the scenes? And this passed.
