We're at a point where nick has a more measured and grounded take on Epstein than matt.

When Matt said "Epstein isn't a real person," I was expecting some take like Baudrillard's "The Gulf War Did Not Take Place." But no, Matt was literally saying Epstein isn't an actual person.

He was going for a Baudrillard-type take. "Jeffrey Epstein", for all intents and purposes, is just a name that's meant to individualize the human trafficking network he ostensibly ran. Whenever a transaction needed to happen, "Epstein" would be one of the names on whatever documents needed to be produced. That doesn't mean that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't killed by whichever assassin got to him first, but he wasn't necessarily "Jeffrey Epstein".

That doesn't mean that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't killed by whichever assassin got to him first, but he wasn't necessarily "Jeffrey Epstein".

I think this is the take that makes the most sense, given how obviously he was groomed for the position and his multiple rich benefactors.

Now that doesn't mean that he was some meat puppet who had no will of his own, he very obviously was into it and genuinely socialized with the rich and powerful. In the grand scheme of things though hes just an upscaled and more illicit version of the DC madame.


As an aside I was wondering why Trump is acting the way he is in regards to the Epstein stuff and I think I have the answer: He thinks Qanon is real.

A good angle is that while QAnon people think that Trump is Q, Trump is, in fact, also waiting for Godot Q

The only thing sweeter than Bernie's (frankly inevitable) victory would be the DNC and lib media succeeding in their goal of pushing Biden via monkey paw - at the expense of losing 90% of the electorate - and getting promptly and mercilessly owned by Trump. And then disintegrating as a national party because lol if anyone actually believes they'll be allowed to continue to exist.

Imagine the debates. Biden starts to stutter and Trump immediately mocks him like he did that disabled journalist. Dems cry foul while Trump's numbers soar. America deserves this outcome.

neither american party can fully be defeated and excised from politics because both are so entrenched, remember after Obama won and there was tons of gloating about the death of the Republican Party, demographics-are-destiny people both hailing a post-racial america while simultaneously believing that the democrats had locked in the non-white vote forever? people who ostensibly believe race is a social construct couldn't anticipate shifting notions of whiteness that might undo their unyielding belief that white people will dwindle and die off in the united states.
