1. MAGA is never beating the ‘it’s a cult’ allegations 2. Trump is a ‘ends justify the means’ transactionalist who assumes everyone is either motivated by the same things he is, wants something from him, or is lying. 3. Trump will have summed up Vance and his ambitions within 5 mins of meeting him

Trump should do time but probably the worst that will happen is he’ll die in ignominy and disgrace. Even then there will those who won’t believe he did anything wrong because either they can’t admit he duped them, or it’s somehow the victim’s fault, or acknowledging it would compromise them.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Looks like the ‘Epstein was murdered’ Club is going to be needing to book a larger venue for their next meeting.

This is great. Just troll them straight back.

The White House wants everyone to know that Trump has nothing to hide with regard to his longtime connection to Epstein, but also that republicans had better keep hiding information if they know what’s good for them. www.axios.com/2025/11/12/e...

Pause a moment, and read... • Brendan Kennelly •

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

This all feels a bit ‘catch and kill’. Surely not from such a reputable organisation as the NYT?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Was the emergency meeting supposed to be a secret? Because the optics of having to have an emergency meeting about your long friendship with the sex trafficker are not great.

the newly released Epstein emails are getting coverage on Fox News 👀

OVERT ACT 125 In additional furtherance of the conspiracy, DEFENDANTS met on November 12, 2025 to discuss ways to wield official government power to prevent further news of the child sex trafficking ring from becoming public.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

Oh thank fuck I did not buy this. Looked at it and thought “too messy, what if someone puts it in their mouth?”

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

External IT experts were called in to do data searches at Parliament House because of concerns that evidence was being “intentionally” withheld by internal staff www.themandarin.com.au/302751-hitch...

“Where’s the money coming from?” Should be this administration’s theme song. 🙄💸

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Both works equally well

Jesus wept

Oh good grief. For clarity the football is the GOP’s ‘promise’ of a vote on the ACA subsidies. Even if the vote happens the House won’t support it and Trump will never sign it. DOA.

This right here.

This is going to be very common refrain from those who’ve been impacted by the shutdown. Their ire is not going to be solely reserved for the GOP. The Democrats are going to cop a whack for this. There goes their turnout momentum.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

What exactly was the point of all the suffering over the 40 day shutdown? All this does is show the White House and GOP that if they hold the line long enough, the Democrats will cave.

The historical perspective.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…
