it's interesting that the intellectual wing of the New Right basically sees Trump as incapable of bringing about the national revolution they were hoping for

I think it's a very least you must tell people what the hell is going on

So if you are permanently banned then tell them that

If you are temporarily suspended tell them that and for how long

And if there is a specific violation, tell them that

The "everything's a secret" approach is just weird

During a tour of Aurora’s new homelessness navigation center, I asked Mayor Mike Coffman about city council’s leftward shift.

Here’s a write-up in Politico:

“Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russia’s top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.”

Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Below Epstein is talking in 2018 about his willingness to act as an advisor to Sergey Lavrov, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, about how to handle Donald Trump.

(He was discussing this with Thorbjørn Jagland, who was then serving as the secretary general of the Council of Europe.)

No, because these are files obtained from Epstein's estate directly by subpoena from Democrats. The grubby hands of Trump's minions have not touched these.

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
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"

Yes, everyone who is fighting fascism needs to be united in fighting fascism.

But the need to be united to fight fascism is the opposite of being united with people folding to fascism.

If someone constantly argues that women don't statistically have the same mental aptitudes as men, and tries to tell you that it's just Science and not because they're a sexist pig, you can point to the much strong empirical correlation between saying such things and actually being a sexist pig.

Some of these people are lawyers; the rest are intimately (phrasing) familiar with courtrooms and lawyers in their professional lives. They didn't put this stuff in writing because they're naive or ignorant; they did it because they have no fear of consequences. None at all.
