Gawker did do a lot of good stuff which is why the irresponsibility and lack of seriousness by the ppl in charge is even more disappointing. No one seems to want to wrestle with this
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

This is good because it’s gotta be driving Taylor Lorenz even more insane
for some bizarre reason the NYT cannot accurately describe what “based” means or where it comes from, it’s happened multiple times now

A lot of you are still disappointed this person didn’t get to be communications director or press secretary for a president
Yeah that’s not really the story though but nice try

I think Trump had sex with underage girls via Epstein but we really need to have higher standards for what is a "smoking gun." I think basically anything post-2015 and def. post-2016 has to be looked at very suspiciously
Email from Jeffrey Epstein: "supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage.. =C2 . she said she has a witness. in 1993"

This is bad but it also shows how rudderless these guys are. The charges won’t stick and he has the money to fight it. The bigger thing tho is just how lost these guys are. They definitely think Don Lemon is like a leader of the libs and lol

What exactly did McConnell accomplish in 09-10?
I'm sure you were alive and sentient in 2009-2010, so it's baffling that you would say this. They were extraordinarily uncompromising, spent the entire two years grand-standing, and clearly paid no political cost for it.

“Everyone understand ICE can’t be abolished right now, they know how government works”

The replies:

Uhhhhh citation needed man
I really don't think very many people are mad at Schumer et al for not abolishing ICE. They understand how the government works. It's that he has given no indication that he would even if he could.

People say that primary challenges are good and they can be sometimes but often they just lead to politicians pandering and making more and more promises they can’t keep. Markey treating you like you’re stupid and lying to you about very basic math is what a “Dem Tea Party” looks like
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

I remember arguing with people on here that claimed this ban passed by the California legislature and signed by Newsom required schools to out students.

They had to pretend that *CALIFORNIA* would have a law like that because it’s important to pretend Newsom is anti-trans

“I’d just get rid of the bad thing” ok man thanks for your input
I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Again, this is a lie. No one on the left in 2003 was warning that creating ICE or putting the coast guard and border patrol under the same cabinet secretary would lead to this
Dems helped build ICE and DHS, providing cover when the left flank of the party was warning them this was when it would lead. I do not trust any Dem to fix that if they're unwilling to acknowledge the mistake of helping create it.

And I blame Trump for taking it there.

Walk and chew gum.

I’ve found myself less and less interested in being on here because reminding people that republicans are in charge of congress and the WH just isn’t much fun.

So thank you to all of you in the replys and quotes here that think Trump would sign a bill abolishing ICE for getting me offline more
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:
