“Requires more firmness than I enjoy” is so sinister, so creepy, so nauseating, so disturbing, I’m having trouble finding words for it but absolute nightmare fuel

What.. the fuck??

I don’t think I understand this, is plaintiff Virginia giuffre’s lawyer (boies) corresponding directly with the defendant in that suit (Dershowitz) about giuffre’s testimony??

I thought he became “senior fellow” in 2012, did something happen more recently with his status there? www.americanprogress.org/article/cap-...

This is such excellent writing

Was it the eyes blue as a flame that did it?

At least ask who Mcgyver is!

It’s funny bc I just read “dem messaging consultant” in your bio and then this chippy-condescending post, and it sure fits! Not doubting that you had a frustrating day, but I wonder what you think you have to lose by reading the room.

Obama wasn’t an idiot though, why would he need to consult Dershowitz on anything? This just sounds like he’s trying to impress epstein with how important he is

Bsky says that she was immediately notified and corresponded about it, but she said on substack that no one from bsky said anything to her. So I guess one of them is lying? That’s more salient than whether the post was ban-worthy or not, I think

I really wonder if these people are capable of shame? Like the (now) Goldman legal counsel who befriended Epstein so she could find clients for her legal *defense* firm? Or the gs press office who said it was fine bc she was just using him to drum up business? Do any of them stop and reflect, ever?

I don’t understand this and I’d like to - does mcmorrow purport to reject the deal as insufficient while in actuality preparing to accept it?

Hey, an actually easy recipe! I may try it

It’s always funny to me that a set of political bros (not Jamelle here, just a type of dude) thinks politics is some rational decision making process. Politics is a soap opera and many people engage it as such. Something silly will end up being the downfall of this, and almost any, administration.

This is an opportunity for you to choose to grow as a person instead of doubling down on your error out of spite

I can’t tell if the audience’s reaction is positive or negative? Mixed?

I don't see any way back from this. They're winning at consolidating all the levers of power under Trump and then using it to bend the culture and media to his will. It's succeeding and no one is putting up enough of a meaningful fight. Current efforts are arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
