I love the Trump apologists who are like "be careful what you wish for. If the Epstein files come out, some of your people might get caught up in it." Really, so what you're saying is we could take out even more powerful pedophiles? Fuck yeah let's roll.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It's jarring because the conventional wisdom is "conspiracies of this size arent real because that many people cant keep a secret." And uh, I guess they can when all this media & so many elite institutions are covering for them.

no see using these photos would be beneath the Times, which would never take material from a dubious source, unless it was, say, hacked documents showing that a guy born in Africa had put 'African-American' on his application form for a university he didn't get into. You know, something important.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

The iron law of politics is that things always blow over for Trump, but this is clearly the biggest test yet of that theory and Trump himself is clearly, indisputably sweating buckets over it.

You know what's really pathetic? Journalists and other members of the media who are still helping to cover this up even when they weren't even invited to pedo fuck island themselves. I mean have some fucking self respect

There's a conversation to be had about the benefits of the carrot versus the stick, but bringing it up in reference to The Great White Shrek is so so so so funny
No one on this website will ever stop and think about whether bullying/rudeness actually gets us more allies or alienates people that we need.
Here's John Fetterman complaining on CNN about how mean Bluesky is to him -- and how the far-left is way more "poisonous" than the far-right.

74% same-party approval in the year leading up to mid-terms means there's going to be a lot of "shocked, I'm shocked to discover there is pedophilia in this presidency"-style reactions from Rs coming down the pike.

a fully, mask-off groyper GOP could win if Dems got unlucky with the economy. 2024 tells us that environment rules all, coalition weaknesses really only matter on the margins. I'd still rather deal with that than Trump's irreplaceable branding and particular charisma with the worst people alive

a Fuentes-run Republican party is the kind of thing that breaks their coalition like the Civil Rights Act broke LBJ's. I thought it might be abortion/Dobbs but that ended up being more localized than I anticipated, at least for right now. bsky.app/profile/nucl...
A Fuentes run Republican party will be of immense assistance to Democrats running the country for a decade straight.

this is a problem in that as our system is currently constituted it is always possible for Republicans to win and Democrats to lose. it is not really a problem in that the Fuentes wing are to a man off-putting insane weirdos who can barely fake Trumpist populism
For all the leftist, liberal and moderate conservative schadenfreude over Trump's current predicament in the face of the Epstein files, a loss of control among the older generation of MAGA bosses opens up the Republican Party to a full hostile takeover by its Fuentes faction

the least bad spin you could put on it is maybe that there’s a chance Donald Trump doesn’t sexually assault underage girls, he simply strongly approves of others doing so.

Would in some ways be better than what we have now, honestly, because a Fuentes-run GOP could never come close to winning elections.

That wouldn't make such a thing good, of course. But "what if the GOP becomes explicitly neo-nazi in ways that low-information voters will easily grasp"? They lose

i think it's funny that he is essentially a mildly-more popular version of Blake Masters
This is all true but the good thing about Vance taking over is that no one actually likes him and he has all the charisma of a school shooter. Basically wipes out 1/3 of the republican base who will almost certainly stay home in an election with Vance on the ballot
