It’s pretty simple.
When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Here's some good sci-fi from the 50s and 60s:
Monolith Monsters, The Tingler, and Day of The Triffids. Any one your favorite?

So depressing that any political issue in this country is either about immigration or is blamed on immigration. We need someone with a voice brave enough to call this out for what it is; hysteria, deflection of blame and good old fashioned racism. Shame on any party or person involved.

Bill Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Monica Lewinsky was an intern and his subordinate, and in any other workplace that would be called sexual harassment, and if you don't take power dynamics into account when you talk about things like this, you don't actually understand consent

Being president is not something you are allowed to fail at so spectacularly, is it?

Stop turning this into a political issue, it’s not.
The Epstein files aren’t a partisan story; they’re a predator story.
This is about victims, truth, and exposing an entire network that operated above the law.
And the people who enabled it came from every corner of power.

Trump is a very un-serious person, and he is 'frittering' away America's legacy of solidity. GET RID OF HIM.

Watching some WWII footage..Dunkirk..Battle of Britain...enter the US. I'm a pacifist, like FDR...but when attacked, I think we need to defend. I will always love the British. I will always love the French. I will always love this country.

Adolf Hitler survived at least 42 documented assassination attempts during his life, though the exact number may be higher due to undocumented plots. These attempts occurred throughout his rise to power and his time as dictator, ending only with his suicide in 1945. - Google....none 'made-up.'
