Apologies in advance for what might look like a rambling diatribe going nowhere. But the one thing I know really well - better than almost anyone else - is boxing. And there’s a really valuable lesson from boxing that the Democratic Party needs to learn in a hurry.
Let’s start with the boxing bit.

I just read The Men Who Stare at Goats (the book, not the movie, which is very funny, but not reality like the book). And, damn, I didn’t realize the extent to which I’d forgotten how truly and profoundly evil the George W. Bush administration was, and honestly, I’m not sure that Trump is worse.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

A reminder/preparedness note that Trump is going to do the craziest shit he can think of to get people’s eyeballs off the Epstein stuff. He will absolutely start a war or bulldoze another wing of the White House just to change the conversation.
Do not let him distract you and get away with it.

At this point, the best case scenario for Trump is that he turned a blind eye to rampant underage sex trafficking. Perhaps not criminal, but entirely indefensible. That’s the best case.
The most likely case, based on everything from Epstein and Wolff, is that he enthusiastically participated in it.

Does that implicate Trump in a sex crime? It implicates Trump in covering it up from 2000 to (roughly) 2004, when Ghislaine targeted the daughter of a Mar-a-Lago member.

Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Imagine being exposed as a pedophile and then getting castigated by the Catholic Church.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.
