I remember seeing The Daily Show joke about NAMBLA twenty years ago but the joke is on us because the "technically it's ephebophilia" caucus is extremely large and influential across American society.

One thing that's become very apparent over the last few years is that journalists chose the news.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

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.

I mean we all know why, but getting down on your knees to kiss AG's ring even when he no longer signs your paycheck, because that's how cretins like you make it in the incestuous media environment, kind of puts lie to you being a fearless truth teller or whatever

I was at NYT for 7 years & one of a dozen reporters who investigated Epstein’s interactions w/the rich & powerful. I don’t know every conversation held at every level there, but I do know we dedicated ourselves to exposing those who supported Epstein & engaged in the abuse of girls he facilitated

I think this is true, but I also think they got weirdly lucky with the timing with COVID and Donald fucking up global logistics chains at certain times undermining their competition in ways nobody could have predicted in 2006.
I've said this before, but Nintendo realized in like 2006 that the push for better graphics and frame rates was a creative and commercial dead end, and they zigged where everyone else zagged.

And now they get to reap the benefits of their being entirely correct

it was actually really bad that Vietnam + Iraq made sure two successive generations of people thought war was only for imperialism and evil motives. The anti-interventionist mindset leads to a morally vacuous reification of the idea that countries own their citizens&cultural norms supersede morality
something I think about a lot is that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has given a whole generation of young American liberals a reason to support some degree of military interventionism which they would probably otherwise still be pretty soured on post-Iraq and Afghanistan

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Trump finding a way to create novel and troubling Constitutional questions out of trademark law is actually kind of impressive, there isn’t a corner of the law he can’t somehow pollute.

“We were dedicated to exposing Epstein’s supporters … except for his most famous, most powerful one. Not him. Oh also kinda downplayed the Prince Andrew thing too. But everybody except them!” doesn’t have the same ring to it

This might even be true of this specific team but it’s obviously not true of the NYT at large. Trump’s extensive involvement with Epstein has been known for years and has always been downplayed by this newspaper

At some point, it just becomes too much! You can't talk about Trump *accurately* without sounding irrational--almost insane! Merely stating the basic, provable, publicly-acknowledged facts of the last ten years of his life makes you sound like you really do have Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Every one of those things is orders of magnitude worse than Watergate, which obliterated Nixon's presidency less than two years after he won one of the largest landslides in American history.

By themselves, *each* of Access Hollywood, the Mueller Report, January 6th, the classified documents case, the E. Jean Carroll verdict, and the 34 felony convictions in New York should all have individually ended Trump's political relevance. ALL OF THOSE ARE CAREER-ENDING SCANDALS.

What makes Trump so infuriating is that we've known he was like this *since 2016*, when the Access Hollywood tape was released! None of this is surprising! But because the media wants to appear "balanced" and not cover the GOP less favorably, the public has never really grasped how evil he is.
the things that are actually contained in government releases and leaks from epstein's email account alone are so deranged that anyone hearing them without context would think you were having a psychotic episode
