I feel like dollar store Smedley Butler for wanting this.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

The funniest thing in football is when a coach down like 38-7 will cover his mouth with his play sheet as though he's worried the opponent will steal his play calls that are doing so well
