TIRED: trump killed epstein bc he knew too much about the sex crimes WIRED: mnuchin killed epstein bc he knew he had to stay on at treasury in order to keep the world economy on track

Editors tend to be beholden to things, right?

The “integralists” are aware of this and believe they’ve cleverly solved the problem by rejecting the consent of the governed as a godless idea. That’s Vermeule’s “imperare aude!” — one should simply decide that it’s possible to rule people in a way that they mostly hate.

man, people who work at the New York Times really thought the New York Times was going to matter under the Second Republic

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

‘No! Not Larry Summers!’ Wails Devastated Nation

Something I learned from @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social recently is that the first guy to ever be charged with raping his wife (in 1978; it wasn’t a crime in the US before the 70s) was not found guilty and then, in *2017*, was tried tor raping two other women, found guilty, and sent to prison.

The Hebei Pangzai would prepare a Thanksgiving beyond the dreams of any American.

This is a newspaper that published numerous stories about a 17 year old from Uganda checking a box on a college form that said “African American”

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

Look, you may think this was bad strategy, but where would Kamala be today without those endorsements from Reid Hoffman and Larry Summers?

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Gosh, such a shame this never came together.

people are complaining that the political press did not report that donald trump had thanksgiving with a well-known pedophile in 2017, but if you really think about it, there's always a well-known pedophile whenever donald trump is present

Beast mode name sir

The fact that things -aren't- getting better for them, and in fact, the all stick no carrot presidency is just kind of rumbling forward at full steam making everyone's life progressively more shit is, I think, actually starting to break through and other people being in more pain isn't enough.

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?”

"Religion is invented for a power structure"

how are you gonna get that through the DNC though?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I think this is right (and conveniently for some, the bill about the Epstein files will almost surely not make it past the filibuster)

I'm very appreciative now of how many Roman citizenry must've been watching and going "god, this is so fucking stupid" while politically powerless to prevent it.

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed." I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

1. BREAKING The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions. The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

jd vance post: erm mom can you pick me up? liberals are trusting the word of *checks notes* jeffrey epstein?? trump post: "THE CORRECT TERM FOR THE PRESIDENT IS EPHEBOPHILE NOT PEDOPHILE" - THE GREAT MARK LEVIN ON FOX NEWS

μολὼν λαβέ.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

The Banks Are Out Of Money

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

we might not ever get official numbers again, but every month some corporation that wants something from the White House will be happy to share their internal research. and of course we’ll have to admit it will be more accurate, because they have Skin in the Game.

Beyond the obvious takeaways in these emails is the always fascinating insight that a lot of these rich freaks are in constant contact with each other and make society-shaping decisions by basically riffing on barely-legible text or email chains

amusing chart. it turns out New York City built more housing units in the 1920s than in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s put together www.nyc.gov/content/plan...

“.. in the Situation Room.” 👀

Thiel, Summers, and Leon Black walk into a bar and the bartender says, "why are you here. the middle school is down the street"

Actually this may also be correct in a way

This person was the President of Harvard University, the US Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of the National Economic Council of the United States.

“I was told he belonged to intelligence.”

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

These emails reveal that this is an issue of elite impunity, and you are blaming the public? Thats how we got here, man.

hmmmm

DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT

I have some fresh questions about how Wolff got almost 18 months of unrestricted access to both the Trump campaign and, later, the West Wing to write his book (that curiously doesn't mention this at all to my knowledge)

Before you people prosecute Trump in the court of public opinion could you at least wait for the court of the federal government to absolve him of all crimes?

Spiralism is now the official state religion

thank you DoorDash
