Isn't it weird how the only person in the Epstein files who is completely innocent is a draft-dodging contractor-stiffing child-raping universally hated dementia patient? Oh well, Dancing with the Stars is on.

Republicans should worry over elections, yes. But I think they haven't realized yet they should worry over being chased with pitchforks and hounds when their base figures out what's been done to them and by whom. youtu.be/ZPcJ0EZMV6Y

As a shorter fella who is no Adonis his own self, I would normally hesitate to body-shame anybody, thin or fat, tall or short. But you know, going all Temu Nazi puts you outside the bounds of civil discourse, methinks.

Accused pedo in my town in my town held w/o bail. Meanwhile less than 1% of the Epstein files are released, in violation of black-letter law. Maybe Busfield should audition for the Trump cabinet.
