'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

it's nothing provable but this is sort of the issue I was talking about in terms of the Democrats running on anti-corruption - there are a lot of fingers in a lot of tills.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables.

Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine.

Is this why?

This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old.

We call it pedocon. It's not a joke. The details in this story are appalling.
The contemporary Republican Party produces so many cases of sexual assault and exploitation that it’s hard to keep track of the GOP’s many degenerates. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

wowowow i figured he'd just stay in the DR. Is he going to try to plea this out to save his career? Not sure he's going to be able to get a work visa under Trump after this.

The incentives are not to protect Epstein but to protect Donald Trump. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I've already said I think Landon should have been fired. But the idea that the NYT knew he was too chummy with Epstein and asked him for money and were fine with it is just wrong and dumb. And i cannot fathom what possible incentives people arguing this think the NYT would have to protect Epstein

NYT omertà code: no matter how badly the times fucks up, ex employees will rush to its defense.
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...

I am a big fan of Bad Bunny's music. It's such a great mix of classic Puerto Rican sounds and modern hip hop. It's double great that his Super Bowl halftime show is making all the worst racist people in the country incandescently angry.

It’s not just Dems not nailing the pedophilia charge on Trump but it’s also about constantly asking him to be a proper president like Jeffries constantly does. What do you mean you want a Child Rapist to start acting like The President. What do you mean you want to work with him and his party

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.
Congrats again, everyone

As someone who actually lives near the border it's worth noting that very few Americans do, or ever interact with the border in a meaningful way. They know "chaos at the border" as a story through their tv and phone screens exclusively.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.
