If the United States wasn't in the Upside Down right now, this story (released in the latest Epstein Files) would be grounds for immediate Congressional impeachment and removal from office.
It won't be, of course, because Republicans protect their favorite pedophiles and rapists. #EpsteinFiles

Met @hwinkler4real.bsky.social tonight in Ontario at #creepIEcon for the first time in 50 years! Met him when I was a shy 9-year old kid; we traded pens, and posed for a Polaroid. Sadly that Polaroid is lost to time, but I got another chance tonight, and he’s still delightful. Full circle 😊 #Fonzie

Leaving CNN is what enabled Don Lemon to be good enough at his job to warrant arrest by the fascist state. The anchors there live lives of sheltered, privileged wealth. The biggest confrontation of their day is a performative argument with Scott Jennings.
