  • How did Epstein ensnare so many rich men? By knowing they were entitled and insecure

  • I just realized this post is a dupe so I'm going to delete it in a bit. It seems like you put a lot of thought and effort into this comment. Thought you might want to move it to the other post before I nuke this.

  • Thanks. Good catch! I'll add them to the post.

  • Exactly. Everything this administration does is also a meme to appear strong. I don't think we should accept the story they're selling or declare victories for them they haven't won.

    I think even their legislative control is far weaker than many realize. Yes, the Republicans are cowardly, traitorous fucks who've abdicated their responsibilities. But they're also not really passing legislation. The majority of their policies have come through ephemeral executive orders because they couldn't pass them. They haven't really tried because it would expose that weakness and their most important priority is appearing strong. They would if they could. Repealing law is difficult, reversing executive orders is just a signature.

  • I think you might be letting ICE off the hook here though. It's not just their activity in Minnesota that's the problem. It's all of it, isn't it?

  • It's dumb to pretend there's no continuum of autocratic control. Russia and China don't have legislative disputes over funding shit. They don't fail to indict their enemies. They don't fail to convict anyone. They don't have stories published in the media that are critical of Dear Leader.

    Total autocracies have complete control over the executive, legislature, courts, police, military, and media. The US is quickly moving in the wrong direction along that path, but it's bananas to say they're "already there."
