I like how these guys get to have it both ways they get to inflate the bubble via broad product misrepresentation and bogus math then dole out sage warnings about a looming problem they created as if they played no role in it

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

these are the same people that want to repeatedly inspect your childs genitals btw

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

WAIT is the pee tape in the files??

Trump: “and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.” NYTimes: “Fine by us.”

Unclear how much cognitive dissonance Trump’s base can sustain, but it’s noteworthy that he rode into office twice on the backs of voters obsessed with pedophilia in elite circles. More than just obliterating his image in the broader public, Epstein can shatter his base. That’s why he’s so scared!

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

The Iron Law of Trump is "No matter how bad you think it is, it's worse" and it's never failed once.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

The president may be a pedophile but at least my gas prices are more expensive

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

You’re telling me the guy grabbing puss is in the Epstein files??

They will start a war in South America before we get the files

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

If you just call it something else, it’s not the thing everyone knows it actually is. Conman 101.

1) Caving on the shutdown proves Trump’s assertion that Democrats were the problem and that he was right to remain strong despite pressures 2) His takeaway for the next fight will be that Democrats will eventually cave as long as he holds out and refuses to negotiate

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Senate Democrats in December, January, etc.

Silver lining is Mike Johnson has to come up with new reasons not to release the Epstein files

Do you think we should try to find more common ground with Nazis? Do you love a strongly worded letter? Have I got a political party for you!

When Senate Republicans vote against healthcare subsidies in December that they “promised” a vote on Chuck Schumer is going to write the most strongly worded letter OF ALL TIME! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Dude is beyond worthless. There are only 3 options to explain Schumer’s behavior. 1. Incapable of leadership 2. Controlled opposition 3. Both

Absolute knife in the back to all federal workers who suffered the last two months to protect health care for people… all for nothing

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

the "oh we promise a vote later" thing is flat out insulting. jfc.

In Good News, Argentina is $40 billion richer

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

Trump gets to take a victory lap just in time for the holidays jfc

Have one fucking conviction holy shit

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

Guys, we won too much on Tuesday. We have to hand them a victory on the shutdown so it’s fair

no one has ever been better than chuck schumer at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Shadenfreude at the certainty that the AI bubble is going to pop really kind of tempered by the equal certainty that taxpayers are going to be on the hook for it.

Rigged

America collapsing from within and he’s making billions in crypto and just taking a fucking nap in meetings. He‘s checked out and we’re one year in

“Nobody has a bigger heart than me.” — Donald Trump, last night

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
