"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

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.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Just saw an ad with the tagline “Because impossible is just a technology waiting to happen,” and my Langdon Winner and Lewis Mumford books just fell off their shelf.

Stop me if you've heard this before:

If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???

They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

And there are corollaries for so many of our tech billionaires.
honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

Looking through these emails, realizing that the rich and powerful cannot write a complete, syntactically coherent, properly spelled sentence to save their lives, apparently.

In a USMC rifle company, infantry Marines would refer to ibuprofen as “ranger candy” due to its rapid effectiveness in reducing the aches and pains that often come with being a field Marine.

I don’t know what Vance and his fellow public affairs Marines called it.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

In a time of too many small men in America, no man has been smaller than Mike Johnson.
REPORTER: Why'd it take so long to get sworn in?

GRIJALVA: *gestures at Johnson* That would not be my question!

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I really like this lady
