US Pol: What I fear will become clear through Epstein
Sensitive content
Everyone has been galvanized, in condemning Epstein. It's been comforting to assume this means there is wider recognition that sexual exploitation through money and power of young vulnerable people is seen as criminal. A violation of self-determination and of bodily autonomy.
I think part of why I keep following this story so closely is the creeping sense that maybe we aren't all talking about the same thing.

We most definitely are not all talking about the same thing
I sadly do not agree with your assumption. Like #metoo, I believe this will be swept away. I think there is some frustration with everyone's non-favorite elites being able to act with impunity, but they still want to excuse their faves
And I think those of us who actually give a shit about the victims is a vanishingly small percentage

We absolutely are not. People like you and me are talking about the widespread sexual exploitation of women and girls, and how fucked up it is that this is embedded in our culture, and how Epstein is an exemplar of but ultimately just another symptom of that. MAGA world is talking about Pizzagate. QAnon shit. It never went away, they just got better at sounding normal when talking about it.

I remember some comments I heard during his first presidency (where he wasn't a nice guy to begin with) from voters with a Christian Nationalist leaning to the tune of: "He may not represent our Christian values, but he will get us what we want."
Well, he did and he will certainly try and continue to do so if he keeps his free reign.
The rules of the "political game" have changed massively.

So far, there seems to be a concerted effort to protect the "Victims" And, culturally, the victims are defined as the fucking politicians who fear their consequences are not only political but indictable.
Why else would the focus be on a list of pedophiles rather than listening to the many actual victims who are still around and can speak for themselves?

I was a reporter in the late 90s and covered the Clinton impeachment and it was so wrong. He was guilty and should have been removed, but, it was the wrong charge. He was illegally harassing his employees. But to charge him with that would have exposed the rest of Congress to the same standard. So they had to keep it narrowly on โhe cheated on his wife.โ

that would fit, if so, yeah. it's been absolutely astonishing to us to see that the people who've consistently voted for these atrocities and cheered them when they happen, actually seem to have sincere beliefs that aren't just what their favorite commentator is saying that week. like, it's not as if CSA is normally a dealbreaker to far-right voters, so we've been confused that it appears to be in this case.

The hint that this could all unravel comes from the relative indifference of large segments of the public to the obvious womanizing, sexism, and public lechery of the president.
Could there be people who don't see any connection between these things? Or is it that it only matters if you don't like the person doing it?
First you had "movies" because the photo was "moving" then you had "talkies" because the "movie" was "talking" but when the dust settled, society considered "talkies" gay and unworthy and "movies" the term, um, moving on.

Trumpโs news conference may prompt questions about whether a president with a penchant for showmanship might assume an unusually active role in planning the Olympics.
At the White House, speaking in front of banners adding the presidential seal to the logo for #LA28, Trump said he would send the military back to #LosAngeles if he so chose in order to *protect* the Games. In June, #Trump sent the #NationalGuard & US #Marines to the city amid widespread immigration enforcement actions, despiteโฆcondemnation from Mayor Karen Bass & other state officials.
โWeโll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military, OK?โ #Trump said. โI will use the National Guard or the military. This is going to be so safe. If we have to.โ
Trumpโs #ExecutiveOrder establishes a *task force* led by him & #JDVance to *steer* federal coordination for the Games.
looking forward to how the most corrupt man on the planet further corrupts the second most corrupt organization on earth (after fifa). Itโs gonna make his parade look professional.
It wasn't me but someone here posted about Hunga Tonga and I looked it up and it makes perfect sense for the weather we have been getting where I am for the last three years. Water vapor is #1 greenhouse gas and HT lit 1M surface acres of water into the atmosphere. We have had the best three years of weather here, great rains in the winter, fog belt in the summer, cool summers, but the rest of the world is getting heavy rain and great heat. People can't do this. Only volcanos.

Software designed to give spacecraft more autonomy could support a future where swarms of satellites navigate and complete scientific objectives with limited human intervention. Astronauts living and working on the Moon and Mars will rely on satellites to provide services like navigation, weather, and communications relays.

Trump said on Tues the #FederalGovernment could take control of #Washington, #DC if the local govt "doesn't get its act together," with his comments coming in a social media post complaining about crime in the #US capital.
"The Law in DC must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, & lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14," Trump posted.
"If D.C. doesnโt get its act together, & quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City," #Trump added.
Trumpโs latest threat to take over #WashingtonDC came after he learned that #ElonMusk protรฉgรฉ & former #DOGE staffer known as #BigBalls was injured in an attempted carjacking Sunday morning in #DC.

I guess there was a Grateful Dead concert in Golden Gate Park this past weekend and hippie crack is still on display, just like it was in the '80s when I actually attended this nonsense.
My friend and I were discussing how we rode the subway from the Bronx to LaMires in Brooklyn, or piled 9 people in a Dodge Dart to go to concerts enjoying some weed and beers to and fro when we were 16,17 years old. Her kuds are 18, don't drink, or do drugs and get picked up and dropped off at concerts and they're 19 and 20
Her kids see the pics and videos and can't believe what her parents and friends did.
