Why didn't Biden release this?

Not cynical to believe Greene wants something from GOP establishment and when she gets marginalized or doesn't get what she wants she will go far right nuke, not to the center, agreed.

Media could do a better of job of explaining the DOJ evidence system and how evidence can be tampered and/or not tampered. I don't think it is so easy to simply hide or destroy evidence without their being a master list of all itemized issues and backups. Would Congress get that list if it exists?

These postlibs and Yarvin need to be mocked as the clowns they are. That is the best way to reduce their influence. Like: let's create an imaginary nation in the Pacific we can offer them citizenship to install their post-lib monarchial paradise.

How about a segment on how DOJ evidence is protected and is or is not vulnerable to tampering? I'm sure you've seen concerns from a variety of sources on this. Seems like evidence is highly protected and has redundancies and only highly cleared people can access it. But who knows...

One failure of the media/Dems in this case is communicating whether or not DOJ evidence is tamper-proof. Seems you can't simply "edit" evidence. And if there is any specific evidence of a person, that evidence is entered also in a master list of each itemized piece of evidence. Get busy Zeto.

Poor Ben will be on MS Now in a year at the rate of disillusionment he is experiencing.

Journalists can clarify concerns about protecting the integrity of the DOJ Epstein evidence and whether it could be tampered. My research found this is much harder than people think given DOJ evidence redundancies. Still: is there a master list of all items so GOP would know items missing?

This is a WH press corp that possesses no institutional, news organization and professional confidence. Imagine Sam Donaldson or Dan Rather standing idly by? Hard to imagine that. Also a result of group of reporters and news companies not standing collectively. Each fears banishment.

Your feed kind of exposes the stark difference in why people follow experts. I kind of find it amusing to follow experts to lecture them.

Yep all of the businesses who sell a high percentage of their sales to Canada are doing just fine, Colin. Plus, who is "the media" nowadays?

Thor should make this one available to non-subscribers since it will be widely disseminated if people can read the entire thing.

Let's blame the Dems not the media. Dems could create lots of political theater around the moral stain of palling around with Epstein, having full knowledge of his crimes, not reporting them. Most leaders would be pressured to resign. Then media would follow suit with this framing.

Nothing says elite moral failure and lack of core democracy principles than that WP headline. Trump "ordered" the investigation for God's sake.

Wait, wait, I just made a huge investment in coffee and banana production in the US because of these tariffs?!

Movie idea: Wag the Alien: admin creates a fake alien signal and encounter to distract from scandals. Things don't go that smooth.

If the Bishops were truly being teachable, they would contrast how previous admin enforcement (eg Obama) was not dehumanizing both in rhetoric and tactics and still consistent with Catholic teaching if they believe it is.

That may be one of the best explanations of the dynamics of GOP priorities and media coverage of the last 10 years of US politics I have read.

This is an argumentative tactic of the right: they're experimenting with rationalizations that can be widely adopted (see Trump = like Old Testament imperfect king). The next one will be: many of the men say they did not know the girls were under age because they contend a 15 year old can look 20.
November 13, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Yeah did not mean to imply that.
November 13, 2025 at 4:01 PM
That is a real good point, did not think of that.

There are emails I believe with Michael Wolf and information is redacted. Why isn't Wolf releasing those unredacted emails today? He should have his own copy.
