With the Epstein emails released today, we have witnessed the greatest-ever example of "Older white dudes don't understand that shit they type into their computers doesn't actually go away." It's like they thought these were high-tech anonymity boxes or something.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

I have it on good authority that there’s an informal blacklist of NY business people that the big banks won’t lend money to, and Trump was put on it in the 80s, not just due to his casino bankruptcies. There’s a reason Trump‘s personal checking is capital one, and that only DWS would lend him money.
