    I try to link it back lest people think the Epstein affair (or Trump) was/is an exception rather than the rule.

    Previously:

    Everyone involved should get investigated and tried for any and all crimes.

    Indeed they should, but they won’t, because they’re above the law. They shouldn’t be above the law, but they objectively are. What you’re seeing isn’t some rare exception, it’s a peek behind the curtain of how the United States is actually run, and it’s nothing like how it’s supposed to work on paper.

    Previously:

    This is what’s so great about Trump: instead of quietly putting coercive pressure on media outlets from behind the scenes, like any normal Republican or Democrat, he shouts it on Trump Social. He doesn’t care that he’s not supposed to show us how the sausage is made.
