I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

How can anyone take seriously the claims of national "taxpayer federation" with 5-6 members, does not disclose its finances/donors, and has zero transparency - yet demands transparency from others. It is time to investigate the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

A modern-day Conservative politician's primary function is to convince you you're living in a dystopian hellscape and promise you they are the only one who can save you from the dystopia they've convinced you is real by offering you a tax credit for your kids' private school tuition.

What are you suggesting, that he is acting under Presidential Orders to hide Donny's involvement in a high profile assassination in order to fire up his base while lending a pretext to further dictorial measures & distracting the country from the Epstein files which would prove he is a pedophile?

In a metaphor that was too on-the-nose, there was a military flyover in Washington, D.C. that drowned out Epstein survivors who were speaking out. I'm happy to report they persisted.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

This is a common tactic of the fascist. Their enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. In the same way, he would talk about Biden being a mastermind and also a doddering old man.

When will Americans learn that most of the world is disgusted with the USA and will NEVER set foot in it again? It seems to me a huge percentage haven't a clue because they're too fucking busy naval-gazing.

FIFA is considering moving the World Cup games to Canada in response to escalating fascism in the US. Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit. Refuse to normalize or reward fascism. The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.
