Clearly Trump and DOJ are using this as the basis for purging any Trump references in the files. They are based on HIS claim that he is accorded the rights of a victim. I guess this is the ultimate insult and final abuse to the actual victims of his pedophilia!!!

LoL..
Completely separate issue... And you're not wrong... But not grounds for Brooks to be terminated from the Times. They'd have a pretty good lawsuit on their hands if they terminated him for attending a party unless the sole purpose of the party was to plan to set the societal agenda

I highly doubt you would have flown out to LA... Gone to a sweet party with several hundred high level bigwigs...Saw a convicted sex felon at the party who was released from prison.. and walked out. I would probably just stay away from the creep for the night.

And like I said... I'm no fan of David Brooks... Just feel like everybody is going overboard with such a minor circumstantial link between the two of them... Find me some real connection and I'm 💯 % with you

Not at all!!!
If I had no other relationship with Epstein, why would that be necessary???

What the HELL is wrong with everyone over this party. I'm sure neither Peter Gabriel nor David Brooks asked Edge magazine if Jeffrey Epstein was going to be at this party. Just being an attendee of a high powered party in LA 14 years ago does NOT make you a complicit pedophile!!!

Sooooooooo... This had ZERO to do with illegal drugs coming into the US. This is Trump repaying all the big oil companies that donated billions to his campaign to force Venezuela to pay for the oil fields they nationalized almost 50 years ago!!!

As I suggested, so far the only connection seems to be that they were both invited to a party in LA along with many high powered silicon valley honchos... I don't think it's a normal or necessary to find out the entire guest list when deciding whether to attend a media event.

Lol ... WE ALL DO!!!

Sorry to try to be reasonable when everybody is piling on to an unsympathetic person like David Brooks

Fourteen years ago. I'm sure we've all attended parties where we didn't ask who else was attending. The fact that Brooks was at a single event with Epstein and half the big names of silicon valley doesn't make him an accomplice who must immediately be terminated by his employer.

Look... I'm not a fan of David Brooks... And you cannot like him for many legitimate reasons... And you can even be holier than thou and blast him for leaving his wife for a young chickie... But until there's more photos or connections, there was one huge party in LA that they both attended

This post is worthy of a Friday Night Tequila post... We need the alcohol to lower our instincts of being civil and respectful and become as nasty as do many of our fellow citizens

As we all know according to MAGA.... immigration is the root cause of anything negative in America.... And Europe as well... Let's just force all people to remain where they were born and never have the opportunity to improve their lives... Except for white males ... They are ALL welcome here!!!

I'm not sure how they can be so blatantly corrupt. Unfortunately, they have lifetime appointments and it's not getting any better until we find someone as shrewd as McConnell was to find a way to stack the court... God help us all until then

Just as concerning (but obviously nowhere near as important)... 36% think the moon landing was staged 😵‍💫

And Ukraine has less than a week to agree or else the US will wash their hands of supporting Ukraine... That sounds like a fair agreement

This can't be real.... They love Trump more than their kids... Obviously a bot or a 40 year old single guy living in his Mom's basement
