Fundamentally what the churches try to sell is the ideal of a Christian faith that primarily requires faith as a form of consumption, which is why you have them basically have CCM + kitsch + anti-egalitarian + socially conservative ideal as the ideal form of Christian religious practice

"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."
Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away
His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

Megyn Kelly sees the writing on the wall. Trump is a pedo. She has to defend him. But, how?
Here's what she came up with: In order to soften Trump's crimes, she published a rant that Epstein might not be a pedophile because he raped 15 year olds and not 5 year olds and to her, that's different.

Yup.
The search for a 'smoking gun' in the Epstein Files is structurally identical to the one in the Russia investigation. It's a massive displacement to avoid dealing with the actual story about the casual way powerful elites behave, usually with no consequences. And the victims are ignored in this too.

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.
It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.
Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.
You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

I finally had to write about the two "big boys" in Plutarch's LIVES, Alexander and Caesar.
Check out my take on Plutarch's take and why I think you can, arguably, sum up most of Ancient Greek and Roman military theory with those two, for better or for worse.
