Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It gets even worse: Due to the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, small states are also over-represented in the House, so less populated states have multiple veto points in the system. There is actually no place in our federal system where the national majority rules.
okay one more thing, if the filibuster was so critical to the interest of small states, why is it that it didn't exist until the middle of the 19th century and wasn't actually used with any regularity until well into the 20th?

This calls into question their account of everything happening in the Chicago area.
