I am old enough to remember when Hillary Clinton calling Trump voters "deplorables" was in the news for days and days.

I read the story, and holy shit, but it still isn't clear if the victim was just searching for porn in general, or searching *specifically* for spy-cam porn on the channel devoted to it, and found the video in question. Is the cam circle closed or not? (I know, I know ... damn editors.)

Can you imagine the hearings, and headlines, and hysteria if, say, Obama was president and in the Epstein Files? Weeping families on Fox News asking how he is still president, etc. That there isn't a bipartisan hue and cry now is illustrative of how bad and riven everything is.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

It seems that the majority of America has reached a tipping point with cruelty toward immigrants. It's a pity that these ghouls, who seem to be using so much of what Trump and his cabal are doing as a template, aren't seeing how the story plays out.

Enforcement is the larger question. What are the penalties for noncompliance?

If people don't support it, it goes away. "Getting the paper" used to be so automatic. Journalism entities were like utilities as you just got the paper. On the way to work or school, you got the paper. The farther away those days move, the more in danger journalism entities become.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
