Why am I rehashing all this?

So the next time a Republican simp asks you why the “Biden DOJ” did not release the Epstein files, you can answer with the following:

“Ghislaine Maxwell’s court cases, that’s why.”

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

Of the last 5 Republicans to be House speaker, one was a child molester (Dennis Hastert) and one actively tried to cover up a child sex trafficking ring (Mike Johnson).

A key takeaway from all this has to be "You don't have to listen to Republicans anymore." They're either perpetrators of fascism or suckers who fell for it. If you have conservative views we can consider them again in 50 years or so

A knock-on effect of Trump suddenly looking weak is people feel emboldened to push back against his flunkies too. Turns out the media knows exactly how to do this when they want to
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

And like... this is the shit that never gets accounted for in tenure applications for women. How many times you were trying to have men treat you as colleagues with ideas and they were not serious about anything except trying to fuck your body.

That part right there sounds to me like that behavior is a specific, deliberate pattern that's recognized and mostly expected in their social group, to the extent that they talk about it in casual conversation.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

It's also a real issue, in the way "birtherism" and such weren't, so it doesn't even compromise progressives' aversion to gutter politics.

Anyone trying to argue Epstein is a dead end should be presumed to be in the files tbh.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

As always, nice reporting from the Crimson here

While Summers has broken no laws, and he’s free to correspond with whom he chooses, there’s a lot here to support the idea that he should not be taken as an authoritative spokesman on so many important issues
