“Barely” means that something is. Not that something is almost. Someone has to be legal to be barely legal. I wouldn’t eat a sandwich with barely any shit in it.

Nor should he. Or anyone else for that matter.
Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter and is talking about the grey area of “barely legal” regarding a 15-year-old. Do NOT let her off the hook for this.

....but to be even more precise, let's not obscure what subsistence poverty in America was like before the Haymarket and the victories of collective bargaining. There is plenty of room yet to descend further.

The generations that created the rise of labor and the American middle class were those before the postwar baby boom. The parents of the boomers experienced the gains of collective bargaining in full. The decline of labor begins in 1980 with PATCO; boomers benefited, but not only them....
The “us” here is boomers.
The rest of us who were unfortunate enough to be born too late don’t get paid enough to cover bills with 40 hours of work, we don’t get discretionary income (lol) and we will never be middle class until we’re allowed to own homes.
Subsistence poverty has been here.

This is sobering but precise.
From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.
This was always where this was headed.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Chomsky’s position on Epstein is that the American public is getting a seriously distorted version of the evidence available, emphasizing alleged rape of children and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role, direct and indirect, in the torment that children have suffered.
In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
Epstein: you are of course welcome to use apt in new york with your new leisure time, or visit new Mexico again

The more I think about it, the more I believe this whole Epstein thing will go the way of OJ getting away with double murder.

Discussing this with my wife yesterday I really started to despair that MAGA will shrug this off and start making heroes of the Humbert Humbert types now (see Megyn Kelly).
I had long, long thought that evidence of child rape would be a bridge too far for even this cult. I fear I may have been wrong

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

The emails we've seen leaked today come from documents the Epstein estate turned over to the House subcommittee.
So I'm wondering…
What about all the evidence seized by the FBI that's presumably still at DoJ? When the warrant was executed in NYC, videos & photos were seized. 🤔
