I’m not amazed at all - Citizens’ Impeachment and other orgs working seriously to bring his presidency to a close *right now* are hard pressed even to get 10K followers. As long as “Let’s actually organize to get the predator out of politics” remains a niche position, the predator will thrive
God I forgot about this. It is AMAZING the things we learned about this man in 2015-6 that did not immediately bring his campaign to a close.

The way to stick up for her, after the fact, is to demand Trump’s removal from office until he’s removed from office.

Will be watching to see how many of her colleagues in media do this
I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Again I ask what is the point of writing about this shitbag if you aren’t explicitly calling for his firing?

I hope all those people call for impeachment and get their friends and family to call for impeachment too
i am going to continue to maintain that normal people hate this shit, and people will *especially* hate *this* shit

...And therefore Trump should be impeached and removed from office

...And therefore folks should join & boost @citizensimpeachment.com
Illegal racial profiling all over the place. Shredding the constitution. Absolutely outrageous
US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

Worth taking the "attention economy" metaphor seriously and realizing how much political discourse amounts to throwing good attention after bad, or getting conned out of attention. Just as rich guys investing in scams hurts the whole economy, big pundits feeding trolls hurts the wider discourse.

Impeach
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

When you take a step back, it’s kind of amazing that Donald Trump’s presidency is being entirely consumed by his dark and sinister past of being involved with a cabal of elite pedophiles

And so you think that starting an impeachment now in a Red House and expecting a removal from a Red Senate is going to work?

If we want the process to work, we first need to understand it. Highest priority and first step - get a Blue House

I’ve always said the press should lead with “alleged serial predator” or “adjudicated rapist,“ not “President,“ for Trump. When someone’s a sex creep, why center their day job
glad to hear NPR stop leading with "disgraced financier" recently

Abusers shield themselves from accusations through deflection - whataboutism, DARVO, or simple subject-changing. This is also how enablers shield abusers. Watch for who deflects and who doesn’t, now that Trump‘s abuse is back in the spotlight. What are reps posting about? Big-name pundits? Etc.

Can’t imagine why the New York Times would be nostalgic for the Epstein days, I’m sure there’s nothing in the emails that sheds light on this
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

A lot of the (often quite powerful!) guys emailing Epstein were asking him for dating advice, which seems to suggest that they saw his own sex life as aspirational.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Probably fewer women in economics because they’re just not as smart, right, Larry?

Glad Americans are finally answering important political questions like, "Should matters of war and peace be decided by one guy in dubious cognitive health," and "Pedophiles: should they get away with it?"

It is, but it's also the "rats fleeing the ship" effect you get when an abuser's, or autocrat's, power base starts to crack.

We should press the advantage. Demand impeachment, removal, prosecutions. Drive the wedge deeper, encourage more defections, signal it's best to defect early.
Watching right-wingers suddenly discover that Trump is a bad person is wild

Lots of exchanges like this coming down the pike:

"I was just following orders."
"From a known rapist and associate of the world's most notorious pedophile?"
"The Constitution said I had to."
"Actually, it said he couldn't hold office because he was an insurrectionist."
"Oh. Yeah, just vibes then."
