We almost had a world in which this man was attorney general as the Epstein story blows up
“Court documents described the party as involving ‘alcohol; cocaine; middle-aged men; and young attractive females.’”

No not Epstein:

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

What Gov Shapiro said. All of it!
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry.

The fucking arrogance.
Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad

I'd argue that JD is willing to criticize Usha's lack of Christianity for the same reason he's willing to vilify his family and community in Hillbilly Elegy: He's convinced himself that he was able to escape his humble origins--while others weren't--because he worked harder and had more faith.
