I post about the mainstream media centering their reporting on conservatives; I also post on LGBT issues. Occasionally I write an article or two.

Any NATO government contemplating a Palantir contract should carefully scrutinize the newly released DOJ Epstein files, and particularly the document surrounding Epstein's introduction of Palantir owner Peter Thiel to a senior Russian intelligence officer.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

But let’s play. Trump’s Truth Social missives have destroyed people’s lives. If they were issued by interns, Congress must investigate which and when-and massive lawsuits will be filed

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

"According to sources...video and photo posts to the president’s Truth Social account go through layers of approval. Trump signs off on the content posted, but he often does not find...these clips himself...it takes a village...to create the federal government’s racist propaganda operation."
BREAKING: Madman President Promotes Racist Video of the Obamas as Apes
Trump’s policies and actions are fueled by explicit racism and election denial. The Obama-ape video encompasses both.

Both! It's Schrodinger's racism: it was both posted and not posted by Trump and it's both perfectly fine and so offensive it should be removed.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.
But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

The biggest revelation in the Epstein emails is being overlooked.
They hint that Epstein may have helped Russia gain leverage over Donald Trump, providing advice to individuals close to Putin on influencing a sitting US president.
This deserves far more public scrutiny:

No, no, the White House explained, the president isn't an egregious racist posting egregiously racist stuff. He just gives others control of his public communications, including egregiously racist staffers he chose to hire then not fire after they communicated egregiously racist stuff on his behalf.

I suspect that the echo chamber of Truth Social and conservative media, along with X becoming a safe space for racism and extremism under Musk, has given our Republican leaders a deeply skewed idea of what ordinary Americans find acceptable www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
