Here is your Exhibit A in favor of not paying attention to David Brooks about nearly anything. His pose as a bespectacled voice of conservative reason belies a fundamental inability to call out the obvious. Fast forward to around 2:20:

It's frustrating that in order for such a system to be effectively articulated we need a cohesive 60 seat majority in the Senate and a non-activist SCOTUS.

The Epstein files are breaking 47's ability to leverage even negative attention to his advantage. We should exploit this by keeping this topic elevated on as many media fronts as possible, by liking, commenting, sharing. etc. Turn the algorithmic machine against him.

What I'm worried about now is 47 getting so desperate to distract from his involvement in the Epstein pedophilia scandal that he's willing to start a hot war with Venezuela. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

This is truly concerning. A consequence of 47's war on any competing claim on objective reality. This would make Orwell toss. It's an assault on objective reality. If reality becomes wholly subjective, it's no longer a question of who's right, but who's in control.

There is a point in the consolidation of authoritarian power where public opinion no longer matters, only the concentration of power. 47 in typical fashion is trying to make the claim prior to the fact. We have to demonstrate that our opinion still matters. Part of that is showing up to be counted.

47's elevation of questionable research already rejected once by the courts, tying Tylenol taken during pregnancy to autism is a further attempt to control our ability to interpret reality by manipulating our fear. He wants to be the sole source of information, the essence of a totalitarian state.

Not that anyone is counting but the 3 major municipalities targeted by 47 in his paramilitary flex are LA, Washington D.C. and Chicago, all led by African American mayors, two of which are women.

What harm is a little socialism if it lines the right pockets right? 47 is following the Rod Blagojevich school of industrial policy. Never give something away that has value.

Given that pardoning Maxwell risks enraging 47's conspiracy-crazed base, I could imagine Blanche suggesting that Maxwell identify other famous Epstein clients to divert attention away from 47 while her departure to some foreign country like France ( for which she has a passport ) is arranged.

Of course, 47 opposes this because it would make his pardon power irrelevant.

The only thing preventing 47 from pardoning Maxwell is fear that it would be a tipping point for his conspiracy-addled base Conversely, not pardoning her might cause her to point the finger at him. I'd imagine maximum pressure is being exerted to keep her quiet.

At this point, I'm convinced the only thing preventing 47 from pardoning Maxwell is his fear that doing so could be a tipping point with his conspiracy-addled base. We would do well to grease that channel. He's also afraid that not pardoning Maxwell would result in her pointing the finger at him.

This strikes me as more flooding the zone with shit, in this case to distract us from asking Bondi about the client's list and taking testimony from the victims.
