All of this Epstein stuff is just conspiracy theory nonsense.   Sort of annoys me how much the left is leaning into it now but at the same time, it's also helping to tear apart Republicans so I'm all for it I guess.  

I'm leaning into it because the Republicans campaigned on it and promised to release it. Call the Republicans bluff and watch them scramble like cockroaches.

nothing to see here besides a little more corruption

CBS will defend its $16M bribe by pointing out how small it was.

Love it when the scary woman puts MAGA in their place

I have long thought that Epstein was less than meets the eye, but man, he's working overtime to make me question my priors

I would not mind too much being deported to Ireland.  My biggest fear of losing my citizenship at this point would be them trying to deny my social security and stealing my retirement money.

In practical terms, they don't have the numbers or the political standing... 

[GalagaGuy]

This is absurd.

There’s enough mongrel in me I’m not sure where I’d end up. Germany (Bavaria) Ireland, Scotland? 
 

They’d probably decide I’m not worth the time and effort and just shoot me

The only other alternative I guess is that the Biden folks, and his DOJ, were so proper and above board that they didn't do it out of deference to the process itself.  Which while admirable is incredibly naive in today's world.  

After watching Merrick Garland operate for four years, I kinda think this is the base case

Oh, than let me fix your previous statement now that I have clarification.

 

 

I do think things are functionally different insofar that there are a bunch of tech guys who have since traded sides (ie. Zuckerberg, Bezos, Andreessen, etc.) that are absolutely weighing the scales towards the GOP now. And in terms of net wealth, these guys have are on another planet than almost everybody on your long list of people.

And sure, you may say that I'm only pointing this out because of how these guys have changed her behavior, but I've always hated these ***holes

Merrick Garland will go down as the Neville Chamberlain of the Biden Admin.

Yeah, that’s where I am. Democrats need to simply call out the fact that Don campaigned on this crap, and then chickened out and reversed course. No need to get caught up in the weeds of a bunch of dumb ppl fighting.

I understand.  I wouldn't expect it to happen, but it's something that I wouldn't even have imagined pre-maga.

All part of Trump's greater plan.

 

Kinda like beachfront condos in Gaza?

Think this is probably right... He's seen his popularity decline and is doing a lot of unpopular stuff. The Epstein thing might be an offramp for some folks who have been uneasy with some of the actions but ultimately have stuck by Trump

I'd love for that to make a difference, but to break the spell, we're going to have to peel off some MAGAs on the margin, at least, and I don't see this doing it,

MAGA is melting down over this. This is the first thing in a while that I could see splintering the base.

Based on my Facebook,  MAGAs LOVE Bongino.  He's the only one that tells the truth!  If he keeps bitching about it, it could make a difference.

Same. And would these countries actually let us in? 

After all, the melting pot means we were kicked out of every respectable country in the world.

Splintering is fine, but that’s one thing. l’ll start cheering when they start peeling off at election time.
