In some ways the most notable feature of Trump 2.0 is the total absence of even pretending to care about being seen as corrupt. No facade at all. It’s just all corruption all the time.
Once wasn’t enough. Trump pardons a J6 rioter for a SECOND time.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

He should be asked about nothing else. The press should cover it 24/7. I don't care of he promises to make health care free: release the Epstein files.

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.
