The disappointment was palpable. In February, a group of 15 rightwing influencers visited the White House and paraded binders labelled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1”, only to discover that they contained precious little that was new.
Ten months later, it was the world’s turn. Amid huge global anticipation on Friday, the US justice department released hundreds of thousands of pages of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
But it soon became apparent that, once again, Donald Trump had over-promised and under-delivered. Many of the documents in the data dump were heavily redacted, with text blacked out so it was impossible to read. Norm Eisen, executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund, said: “What they have released is clearly incomplete and appears to be over-redacted to boot.”
History will not be kind to Pam Bondi. What a joke.
Depends if the regime successfully rewrites the history books. Or, if we’re being blunt, whether the regime ever allows another free and fair election, loses, and subsequently cedes power without just flipping the table over and cementing their power indefinitely in some fashion. And if you think that second part is alarmist or hyperbolic, you are not paying attention.
I want to believe that, but what we often seem to be seeing is the destruction of the concept of truth itself.
Republicans are destroying this country. Yet they are the ones that for decades have accused Democrats of doing that (and raping children). Imax level projection seems to be all they’re capable of.
