If you are able to look at this and still not see the Gestapo. You have not only failed at the Christian you say you are.
You have failed at being a human.
You are the person who turned away when children were being murdered in gas chambers.
It didn’t start in gas chambers.

One could argue that everything done in Trump's second term has but one motivation: Stop release of the Epstein files.

If the Japanese hadn’t bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, everyone would’ve been talking about the Jersey Central and Reading Railroads canceling service that day to protest tax increases.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

Very interesting conversation between two very smart guys; @justinwolfers.bsky.social and @wajali.bsky.social.

Really, really interesting discussion regarding Trump's economy and his lies.

We’ve seen this movie: the plow cut farm jobs, the PC cut typists, spreadsheets cut bookkeepers. The result wasn’t mass unemployment—it was new, better work. AI can be similar—if we invest in people rather than nostalgia, and focus on getting the policy settings right.

The economics of health care -- not to mention the politics, or the human reality -- are important, and complicated. We deserve a more careful and thoughtful policy response than "here's a check," or "we'll have a plan in two weeks."

It's good to have this on the record.
There are 8 (probably more) Senate Democrats who don't believe in majority rule, and who desperately want excuses for failing to govern in ways their voters want when in power.
Heaven forbid the Republicans get rid of the filibuster…

Sociopathic, incapable of empathy or remorse & given to describing the world in vulgarities & childish sentimentality, dictators cannot distinguish between good and evil. They wield power solely for how it makes them feel. If they feel good, it is good. If they feel bad, it is bad. L’état, c’est moi
America is a Banana Republic open.substack.com/pub/chrished... El Trump is cast in the mold of tinpot Latin American despots who terrorize their populations, surround themselves with sycophants, goons & crooks & enrich themselves.
America is a Banana Republic
El Presidente Donald Trump is the gringo version of brutal and corrupt dictators foisted on Latin American countries by their oligarchs and Yankee imperialists.
