TRUMP, AN AMERICAN ABERRATION
The mercurial former US President Trump is a convicted felon, an insurrectionist, an admirer of foreign dictators, a racist, a misogynist, and a dangerous American aberration. His return to power would betrayal of Washington's legacy in American history again.

Last night I spent many hours reading through the voluminous texts between Epstein and Bannon, wondering why no one has covered this in depth. But it turns out someone has! This is a good write up if you want to catch up: jacobin.com/2025/12/epst...

to me this is one of the craziest things in these texts. Epstein set up meetings with board members of Open Society Foundation, the Soros group, dangling his money but using the meetings as intelligence gathering opportunities. He would then pass on strategy tips to Bannon, to help him destroy OSF.
Epstein was a scheming bastard, goddamn. He met with OSF board members acting like he was going to give them money but never did and never intended to. The meetings were intelligence gathering opportunities and he passed on his wisdom to Bannon, who intends to destroy OSF.

if you had told people back during the Kavanaugh hearings that disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was working the phones getting Ken Starr to lobby Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to vote yes people would have said you need to get your head checked. But this is literally what was happening.

Moral injury is very real, especially if you have to make difficult choices about whether to work inside or outside a system. If you work for any of the agencies or contractors roped into this, you have choices to make. Find somebody you trust to confide in.
