"It's just some people online" was the phrase that I got from the CDC after presenting as a pro-vax parent activist 10 yrs ago on how we were trying to build a counter-movement online but had no resources. This is an analysis we published in Wired, that later became the cover of The Economist. 1/2

“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

“This guy is taking people from the spa. I didn’t know that. And then when I heard about it I told him, I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether they were spa or not spa. I don’t want him taking people.”
Once again, the way you know that Trump knew Epstein was trafficking HIS OWN GIRLS is it happened w/Virginia Giuffre in 2000, he told (we now know) Maxwell to stop, then Maxwell did it again w/daughter of a club member.
"Mar-a-Lago" confessed all this in 2007.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

He doesn’t know anything about it, he never met them and if he did, that’s OK, that makes him smart.
Mr. Trump "knew about the girls"
Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

Hi, Jean. My friend is a Nigerian prince who needs to urgently retrieve $1,000,000 from an abandoned trust from his father.
If you can wire $5,000 today, you will be entitled to 35% of the trust. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

What's that, you say, Dr. Oz? A "secret health care plan," but you just "don’t want to show our cards?" Why, sure!
Maybe it's privatizing all Medicare.
The sad thing is that MAGA fell for this exact "secret plan" lie in 2016. No plan, though, b/c healthcare costs money.

A theory worth testing!
What we are seeing is a replay of the surrender on Covid protections because it was going to impact the wealth class in a way that would make it harder to accrue wealth without consequences.
Liberals already made the choice to kill millions to maintain the wealth class status quo.
