“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

5. These people are all incredibly stupid but also venal but also certain they can get away with it. Maybe they can, but it’s game over for Trump with this latest Epstein dump and the ever shittier polls, so the timing of these nincompoops is exquisitely boneheaded.

We are in the maelstrom of a multi-century struggle for this nation. If we don’t understand that, then we will fail to understand what’s at stake.
And we will under-react to the danger of this moment. That is why we need to know how history brings us here.

How can Democrats regain the working class?
By fighting corporate America's ability to:
—Raise prices higher than their increasing costs.
—Suppress wages and bust unions.
—Bribe lawmakers to cut their taxes and dole out corporate welfare.

Many of the Christmas songs that Miller’s Christian Nationalist pals will be enjoying this season were written by Jewish immigrants who, like Miller’s ancestors, were considered at the time to be unassailable threats to American civilization who should be prevented from becoming Americans.
Stephen Miller's cousin unloads on him:
“We’re Jewish—we grew up knowing how hated we were just for existing. Now he’s trying to take away the exact thing his own family benefited from: that ability to prosper, to build community, to live a rewarding life.”
