That scene towards the end of Boogie Nights where the colonel is crying and being slapped in his prison cell for being a pedo only it’s the president and the slapper is saying “quiet piggy” is about the only thing at this can end with any satisfaction for those of us who understand who the potus is.

i hope the Nuzzi revelations produce more investigations into the many DC political reporters who have relations with officials and staff they cover

instead of just being a ceremonial scarlet letter moment directed at one woman

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

My question is who is doing all the Epsteining for these powerful wealthy men now?

One measure of how sick and unsafe people are is how many are making excuses and splitting hairs over pedophilia and child trafficking. This is a good time to take note, folks

But even if they do leave I fail to see that as in any way, shape or form a negative thing.

The wealthy are the takers who make nothing but profits for themselves and hell for the rest of us, while trying to tell us it is the opposite with all the media they bought with their wealth.

The Epstein list isn’t like team sports

We don’t care if it takes down Democrats

We don’t care if it takes down progressives

We don’t care if it takes down our fave celebrity

If you raped children, you must be held accountable

If you trafficked children, same

I don’t care what side you’re on

Dude's brain might be pudding and he may be the dumbest, most incompetent, vile, misanthropic and greedy leader we've ever had.... but even he realizes it's very very bad for him to have his pedophelic tendencies revealed to the public.

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

@jay.bsky.team what is the deal with this? Why is #sarahkendzior suspended and why doesn’t she know why?
If BlueSky suspends someone, natural justice requires, surely, that they be given some explanation? @jay.bsky.team #sarahkendzior

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Looks like I haven't watched a film since my & @k8ydid.bsky.social 's annual october month long horror movie marathon.

Also, the directors cut of #TheWickerMan on #Kanopy had a bunch of stuff I'd never seen before that really expands the story

Thinking today about that mega-wealthy guy who in 2014 warned fellow mega-wealthy guys that it would not be too long before they faced popular revolt.

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?

Great thread that helps highlight what many of us have been thinking for a while: All our "elites" - in both parties, in the media, in business - are completely deranged and out of touch, spineless and cowardly. Trust at your own risk but I argue none of them should ever be taken seriously again
The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump.

That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/

The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

Couple of questions for the people who said they'd leave NYC if Mamdani won... How much do you want for your apartment? And when can we come and see it?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
