Dersh, you got something you wanna say?
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

Kristi Noem-Tied Firm Secretly Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Campaign
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.

For a very particular reason, ALAN DERSHOWITZ, I’m thinking about how the Harvard Law Faculty, which Dersh is a member of, were VERY vocal about how Harvard’s mee Obama-era title IX standards were too stringent and “unfair” to accused perpetrators
To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Hey @jay.bsky.team, I got a quick question.
Patton Oswalt got temporary suspended for making an exaggerate death threat but the Department Of War account has promised to "kill people" and put up videos of them killing innocent people on the open ocean... yet have not been suspended.
Why is that?

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

For the record, this is why it's inaccurate to suggest that the NY Times is just transiently and in good faith wrong on trans issues. They embarked on their hate campaign specifically because they were already in the paedophile class and their other friends in the paedophile class told them to.
@nytimes.com caught red handed. Journalism is a sham. They were in the tank for Trump. Never give them a cent.
