At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Trump also claims he fell out with Epstein because Epstein was being a "creep" around young girls at Mar-a-Lago. That is another lie. Being a creep around young girls was why Trump was friends with Epstein in the first place. They fell out over a bidding war on Florida real estate.

One of the real revelations of the Epstein emails is that Epstein himself was not especially bright, dispelling the "genius" tag that had always seemed ill fitting.
It's almost like there was some other reason rich and powerful men were drawn to him, some other skill he had. Weird.

I’ve posted here a bit about my trip to New Zealand. One reason it was awesome is that I did not get sick on my 12-hour flights.
This was due to a combination of timing my COVID19 vaccine, wearing a mask the entire trip, using azelastine nasal spray, and some luck. 1/5

He tells athletes to sit in window seats mid-plane because “very few people walk by you…and they’re not breathing on you”.
Yet unbelievably, he fails to mention masks.

Had a great conversation with @gregsargent.bsky.social about the latest Epstein emails and their implications for the current MAGA civil war.
Really unnerving point from Nicole Hemmer, historian of the right: Trump's Epstein fiasco could drive MAGA to push him to go even fuller authoritarian, because the whole project is now in such serious doubt. She's so good on MAGA's future.
