Update: After 12 hours, the racist’s post was taken down after much backlash from Rs. Now the WH is blaming a staffer for the post. Yah right! BTW: Trump is named in the Epstein files more than Harry Potter is mentioned in all 7 books! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

He’s doing something despicable every single day - every hour - as every new revelation from the Epstein files is more depraved. He is at the center of an international sex abuse & trafficking scandal that must be revealed. Victims deserve justice

Countries around the world are holding their powerful elites accountable for being pals with Epstein and victimizing young girls. But in America, we’re not holding our powerful elites accountable. Why not? Bcuz Epstein’s biggest pal is in the White House.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Those who commit right-wing political violence are often fascinated with police and/or the military. Attracted to authoritarianism and "order", they'll often cosplay as cops or soldiers (think Rittenhouse). They seek out roles where they have power over others. A trait common with serial killers.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
