The Epstein response is shaping up to be the same as the climate change response: a Zeno's paradox play. No matter how damning the evidence, it only gets us halfway to proving anything. Every new round of evidence? Sure, it's interesting, but there's so much more we don't know! Repeat forever.

THE ONLY TIME YOU BRING UP MONTHS WHEN DISCUSSING SOMEONE’S AGE IS WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, ALAN, YOU FUCKING CREEP.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump: “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Given how easily Trump has shrugged off the reputational impact of his grotesque corruption and disgusting predatory behavior, can you imagine how BAD the undisclosed Epstein stuff must be for him to freak out to this degree?
It’s gotta be at the “just HOW MANY babies did you eat???” level of bad
