"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

The intercept was around April 17, during which period Tulsi was also lying about Venezuela for Trump.
After that, there was great turmoil in NSA, and Tulsi tried to take over the counterintelligence function.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

It occurs to me that Leon Botstein is good at cultivating exactly the kind of ego gratification that Epstein sought out: an appearance of worldly, old-money educatedness with none of the demands or rigor of actual substance.
Bard College President Leon Botstein appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island, hosting a visit with “girls” to campus and telling the child sex predator, “I miss you.”

What’s great about JD Vance is that unlike Miller, he doesn’t *want* to be hated. You can tell it eats at him that he is the object of universal scorn—that yet again he has given up everything in search of love, and found only contempt. This is what he deserves.

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
