What's interesting here is that if Trump had blown Clinton and didn't do any of the diddling stuff, he's in the clear legally but politically it's better to be a pedo than to be gay if you're a Republican
They’re saying President Trump gave sloppy toppy to Bill Clinton now?!? Sweet jiminy crickets, what is even going on anymore??

It's absolutely shameless how Fox News hosts help launder Trump's lies, as illustrated by this 55 second clip. I have no idea how they can live with themselves since they are smart enough to know what they're doing.

🚨Megyn Kelly in 2023 re Russell Brand: “You’re 31 years old & you have sex allegedly w a 16-year old?… She was a minor. Just because you can’t be prosecuted for it doesn’t mean it’s right.”
Kelly yesterday re Epstein: “there’s a difference between a 15-year-old & a 5-year-old”

Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

Here's a particularly weird one where an unnamed sends Epstein a text that says "Tommy Robinson. !! good work" then almost exclusively and repeatedly talk about Goebbels and Kristallnacht for a while before pivoting to talking about blood drawing.

rebranding is marketing
It’s estimated to cost $2B to change the Dept of Defense to the Dept of War, just in signage, letterheads etc. That is so fucking wasteful it’s insane.
