Luckily for Trump, his people are competent, patient, & detail oriented. I’m sure the content will be 100% exonerating, just like this quote from DJT himself: “If Jeffrey Epstein had any dirt on Donald Trump, he would have had great leverage in the criminal case against him at the time he died.”

I’m so torn about this comparison. On the one hand I think MTG is vile but on the other I think truffle pigs are charming. Ultimately, the right wing is ruining the English language for us, along with everything else.

“Mamdani created shame the same way he created vision: by having standards, and then showing everyone what his standards are, and then proving that he truly held those standards by standing for something without shame.” He made ordinary people feel proud and shitty powerful ones rightly ashamed.
