I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

It has taken a while, but it seems based on last night’s post by Trump that Bondi now has the Epstein files sufficiently scrubbed for release.

If someone, anyone, needs an explanation as to why raping a child is wrong, then there is no common ground to reach; the conversation is over before it began.
I'm as flabbergasted as Dean on this one. Unfuckingreal. First off, it's illegal but more than that, some children never get over such abuse. Some adults never get over it even with therapy. WTF is going on in this country?

If Trump claims he wants Republicans to vote to release the files now because he has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he just release the files today? Why did he order his AG many months ago not to release them? Why did he threaten Rs who signed the petition?

I would say that he is a fool and a weakling but that would imply that his trade war was ever anything else but a scam to generate insider information so friends and family could get rich shorting stocks. (2/2)

Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)

Why am I rehashing all this?
So the next time a Republican simp asks you why the “Biden DOJ” did not release the Epstein files, you can answer with the following:
“Ghislaine Maxwell’s court cases, that’s why.”

Epstein’s key conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and charged with crimes of enticement of minors and trafficking of underage girls.
Additional charges were added later including perjury, which required a separate trial.
She filed numerous appeals challenging her arrest

For Mike Johnson, hiding the Epstein files is his #1 priority.
It shows that the backlash to #MeToo was never about male innocence.
It's about protecting the guilty, silencing victims, and valorizing abusers.
