15 is “barely legal”? Whaaat?!? So my daughter who is 14 is 6 months away from being ok for an old man to basically force themselves on her? What is wrong with planet MAGA?
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."

The bullets from the smoking gun just bounce off this orange haired fool. It’s a f’ing cult.

Funny how the GOP could be so obsessed with emails but also be so willing to ignore emails. I wonder why? 🤔
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

The GOP’a ideas are always to tear down, never to build (unless the topic is military or police state-enabling). That’s because they don’t actually have ideas.
"Asked if that means a GOP-led health care plan is on the horizon—as it purportedly has been for a decade and a half—Graham said, “Yeah, you’ll expect a better deal than this.” Great. So what better deal should we expect? No one knows." www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-rep...

A deal to reopen government isn’t enough for Trump’s most loyal Senate Republicans.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Isn’t this because we conflate the idea of “purchasing power” across categories?
Just because people can buy more t-shirts and computers doesn’t mean they can affordably attend University, buy a home, or get healthcare.
