As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Trump getting elected a few weeks AFTER the Access Hollywood tape dropped was to America’s culture of sexual violence what Sandy Hook was for gun violence—a clear sign that tens of millions of “conservatives” were totally fine with it.

Goes without saying that actively demoralizing your support base and sapping its will to fight isn't helpful.
My two cents is still that our fight is against something akin to Jim Crow 2, not a Hitler-like takeover. Unfortunately, stopping it depends on political will, and any capitulation, appeasement, or compromising principles with bad/activist legal maneuvering gets them closer. It's happened before.
I have no doubt that if Trump could snap his fingers to create a dictatorship w/out elections he would. But none of them are acting as if that's going to happen. What they're doing is "normal" GOP election-tilting stuff. Which is bad! Really bad! But not anything remotely like canceling elections.

being told “thank you for licking my boots” by your interview subject should be embarrassing right?
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Short version:

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
Trump: No
