They should offer to rename themselves the Washington Epstein Files

Poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack of intellectual curiosity, lack of introspection, lack of a sense of adventure, corrupt leaders they reelect on ideological grounds instead of outcomes, but with progressive enclaves like any state

Source: spent a lot of time in and around Oklahoma

I do think you can't get a complete picture of America without understanding places like Oklahoma, but America is a big place and contains a lot of different cultures.

This was an excellent article, thanks for sharing! I just subscribed to his newsletter.

Foxx didn't get Sanders' endorsement, but her progressive opponent did, and she won. The lesson here, at least for the three candidates that won, is that his endorsement carries weight.

She's older now, but for context, here's what she looked like at the time she was dating Epstein. Trump assaulted her in Trump Tower in the '90s in plain view of everyone.

Huh, I guess Trump isn't a child rapist and Epstein's wealthy collaborators don't really matter anymore. Well, glad that's done! All's well that ends well.

The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

Inside the outline of the naked woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person.

“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began. Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is. Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.

The wonderful secret is raping and abusing girls. Enigmas never age because they're always 13.

This just shows everyone that the husks who run the Democratic Party have zero ideas of their own. I don't want to vote for Blue Trump. I want to vote for someone who isn't a complete coward, who stands for something and will get things done. Start with an agenda of anti-corruption, worker rights, and climate action and go from there.

"Choosing not to work is just that, a choice," Rep. Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., said in a statement on the legislation he’s sponsoring.

"While far-left states like Oregon and Washington are busy handing out unemployment checks like participation trophies to anyone who walks off the job, the SHIELD Act puts an end to that nonsense. These radical policies disrupt the labor market, let workers walk off the job without consequences, and leave small businesses high and dry. If you choose to strike, you don't get to collect a check from hardworking Americans, plain and simple," he added.

I'm ready to secede. The workers in the four states this waste of oxygen is targeting can take our collective $90 billion surplus we generously donate to poor red states and go build a modern society with robust public transit with that money instead

If this were called Yaiba: Zombie Slayer 2099, no one would be talking about it now. The only thing that makes this game not immediately consigned to the ash heap of history is the name.

Clickbait headline worse than "claps back" or "slams." He didn't "spiral." In the video he basically calmly repeats an abbreviated version of his last post on the subject.

I mean they can try to bring it before the Supreme Court, but the court probably won't hear the case since they already ruled on the question: corporations have free speech protections, money is speech, and free speech is unlimited. Unlimited corruption for the wealthy and powerful.
