“Just look at the limpdick Democratic response to the shutdown—it’s nowhere near meeting the moment. People have felt these aren’t normal times since before Trump, which is a big reason he got elected. Democrats who show they’re willing to fight are the ones benefitting.” -- @jeffcoote.bsky.social

You couldn’t walk into Epstein’s house without seeing that he was depraved. Yet powerful men like Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick still had to check it out, despite his reputation and status as a sex offender.
