Hey here’s the lecture about how “actually it’s not our fault” FUCKKKK OFFFFFFFFFFFF
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

HE WAS RUNNING A CATCH AND KILL OPERATION FOR AN ELITE CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING OUT OF YOUR OWN OFFICES AND IT IMPLICATED THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY
Do we know Landon told anyone that he was having this convo with Epstein? We do not! But let’s say an editor knew. Then what? At most, it would be the beginning of an investigation. Would Landon be the reporter to do it? Probably not! You see he’s begging Epstein for specifics & doesn’t get them

Of course there's a difference, and it's reflected in many state laws.

But . . . that isn't the point. Middle-aged men coercing sexually mature but underage girls into sex is still illegal, exploitative, and vile. "But they weren't 8-year-olds!" is a really weird thing to say.
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."

One thing that always bugged me about the complaints about Clinton and Democrats is that Democrats didn't actually re-elect Clinton after the media reported on his abuse, but Republicans voted for a known sexual predator three times in a row

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

There could be a photo of Trump doing his stupid thumbs up pose next to a naked 12 year old girl and MAGA would shrug and the media would cover it as a nothing burger.
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”

another manifestation of this is when you criticize the right and somebody tsk tsks "they say the same thing about the left," like, yeah, somebody is lying, are you interested in who? because the answer is easily discoverable

I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.
Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

i feel like there’s going to be a slew of important people tomorrow and in the weeks to come claiming to have had a damascene experience in the midst of all this… and i think it’s good to establish up front and right away that all of those people are huge fucking liars.

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles
RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.

However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.
Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Voting to let insurrectionist senators steal millions of public dollars in order to preserve the sanctity of the bipartisan appropriations process (which Trump intends to violate anyhow) evinces judgment so terrible I suspect Kaine would lose a recall election if recalling senators were a thing.

The thing that was always so completely insane is when Epstein died in fucking custody of the Trump Administration everyone leapt to Hillary Clinton when it was always Donald who should have been the obvious, Occam's Razor conspirator. Cui bono!? come on now
Honestly would be weirder if he didn’t want Epstein dead!
Based on those emails and the lengths the administration is going to now is pressuring Republicans to conceal the files, you can definitely see why Trump might have gone to extraordinary effort to have Epstein killed!

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"
pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

The discharge petition was always gonna have 218 eventually. SNAP was about to be restored by the courts. The RIFs were all illegal and would have been reversed like the DOGE ones were. Your strawmen don’t apply
Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

“We had to give the dictator what he wanted so that we could protect a super-majority requirement in the world’s least representative legislative body” is a wildly anti-democratic statement.

Neither the US senate nor the Democratic Party has proven itself capable of preventing tyranny.

Has nothing to do with SNAP it’s all about the precious filibuster
I think this helpfully confirms the notion that the end of the filibuster was a big motivator for the eight Dems.
Heaven forbid the Republicans get rid of the filibuster…

I’m dead serious the NYT needs to be investigated. They deliberately covered up a pedophile’s crimes, and they were active participants in a foreign election interference scheme at the same time.
The New York Times didn't cover up Trump's relationship with Epstein because they wanted to help Trump. They did it because they wanted to help Epstein.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

“Actually being mad at the NYT for running interference for a pedophile is why your local paper is bankrupt”
Whenever you catch Journalists defending this sort of shit the pivot from wide eyed idealist to the most bitter, hardened cynic imaginable about to talk to you about their revenue model and what it demands with an eagerness that would make an oilman blush
