Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard.
"Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.

EPSTEIN BREAKING NEWS: importantly, emails written in 2011, before Trump was president, and between close confidants, with no known reason to lie to each other about Trump.
It explains why Trump has done everything NOT to release the material. If it were not damning, you would want its release.

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.
