...that the Department of Homeland Security had also posted a few hours earlier.
It's all fucked up. I can only hope Easmin's family sues and get a massive payout for the extra trauma inflicted by having this tragedy exploited for political purposes by both DHS and Trump. Truly ghoulish.
Eh, at least this money would go to innocent people and put back into their community's economy. Not like the money spent on Palantir and the White House nuclear winter ballroom.
Given that Melanie has just made a completely unprompted speech about how she totally was never friends with Maxwell, i suspect that something new is about to drop
He brought up Epstein to distract from the a pointless war only to now attempt to distract Epstein again. Trump is just tumbling down an endless flight of stairs at this point.
As I’ve said all along, if you import the Third World, you become the Third World
You know I think this is the closest my aggressively pragmatic self comes to feeling the juxtaposition of sacred and profane. There are two metrics that we use to describe our species: intelligence and prosocial behavior, and this flapping husk shits on both.
I think along similar lines, but I've taken a third descriptor onboard: disaster-prone. A mirthless history professor once told me that "history is a litany of unintended consequences". Everything about the world and our history makes so much more sense if you mentally allow for the fact that we as a species tend to make rather absurd mistakes at scale, and now at the height of our global culture, our powers at their greatest, our need for common sense, tolerance, and cooperation at their most urgent in history due to impending climate collapse, geopolitical tension, and wealth inequality, the most powerful nation in history elected, twice, the most foolish, wicked man alive.
A single person is still intelligent and prosocial. I sincerely agree. But humanity i think has a critical mass at which point all of that is hidden behind layers of systematically disastrous behaviour.
It's the Republican thinking, they have to remember and be victim of every slight to say their grievances are legitimate. Someone else has to be responsible for the problems in their lives and not the other way around.
It's somewhat trite to say "Trump has dementia", that's just been clearly evident for a while now. But even given that I feel like he's gotten so so much worse recently. Like, throwing the country into an unwinnable illegal war, threatening genocide over Easter, now he's posting snuff films? I feel like even people who correctly interpret that the dude's got some serious cognitive impairment going on still end up writing him a pass because "Trump's just crazy like that". But just given his behavior over the past few weeks It feels like his mental decline is accelerating quite a bit.
Hard agree, and I'm not making excuses. Just trying to figure out what flavor of evil to expect. Original flavor corruption, or extra crispy dissociation.
The absolute hilarity of this, insofar as there can be, is that ICE was involved in the arrest, meaning he is likely in federal custody awaiting deportation.
So there is a non zero chance this guy gets deported and faces no consequences.
Does Trump still have the faculties to handle his social media posts, or is this Stephen Miller, et al?
Trump is as evil as can be, but he’s also hanging on by a thread. The ghouls around him are responsible for this to some degree that may turn out to be incredibly high.
Last couple of posts "from him" that I've read are way too cohesive to be actually from him. The most recent was obviously written by an LLM, em dashes and all.
Are you asking for how? If you open in duckduckgo browser I noticed no paywall or issues.
You can also add archive.is/ to the beginning if a link and you can see if it is archived which would let you read it as well.
I'm still not sure what paywall you hit though.
Ahh, yeah websites are getting more stingy about adblockers I noticed. I went to one website and when I tried to go past the popup they literally just blocked the page at the gateway for my IP I guess cause it reloaded with a full error.
Wild that these fractions of a cent are worth reducing traffic to your site for.
Agreed, and neither readers nor the publishers are happy with the typical web business model.
Publishers got trapped by the low cost and convenience of programmatic advertising. Now the revenue on web sucks and they have no 1st party sales team to get private deals on placements like static banners. Google AI Overview literally killing off traffic by 10-20% or more.
Creative solutions will be needed for many publisher businesses to survive.

It sucks that tax payers will end up paying that bill.
The individuals who committed the act the and law makers who enabled it should have to pay...judges too for not stopping it

We are NOT past that. That's what he wants. We haven't even gotten 10% of what the FBI have.
For anyone who wants to browse what the public do have:
EpsteinExposed - for deep dives of who is involved and how everyone is linked
JMail - gmail format archive of his emails, easier to browse by contacts/specific persons of interest

But let’s focus on a cherry-pick and strawman instead of the proven pattern of “law enforcement” murdering brown people en masse.
