Jefferson saw life as a conflict between the few and the many. And he cast his Republican Party as for "the many," though in the central moral issue of his time, he clearly was of the few.

The conflict now:

It's "I've got your back" (freedom) v. "Watch your back" (fascism).

This is a reference to one consultant, not an elected official.

For the entire shut down the Dems ALWAYS focused on Grijalva and Epstein.

There's EXCEEDINGLY little risk the Dems are going to drop this.
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

‘Lots of people will actually die’: Health expert outlines consequences of letting ACA subsidies expire
The government reopened this week without a deal to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which has alarmed health care experts across the nation. “Lots of people will actually die because we don’t have universal coverage,” said University of Pennsylvania professor and former White House Health Policy Adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act and haven’t come up with a replacement…As president Trump famously says, he has concepts of ideas, concepts of a plan, that’s not a plan.”

13. In 2007, Trump said anonymously that “a masseuse about 18 years old, [Epstein] tried to get her to do things.”

That wasn’t Giuffre, but the point is, he knew.

And according to Epstein, that’s why Trump asked Maxwell to stop.

12. But aboard Air Force One back in July, the president acknowledged that Giuffre was one of the teens taken from the club. In 2000, Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her, Giuffre said.

11. It’s true enough that Giuffre had said under oath that she didn’t believe Trump had any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. In her memoir, she said she met Trump once. Giuffre did not accuse him of any wrongdoing.

8. But the Page 6 item suggests he knew more was going on – that there was a longstanding pattern to “use the spa to try and procure girls.”

This latest revelation in Epstein’s own words is a further incrimination. “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
