I'm seeing a lot of coverage in all venues regardless of political alignment. It's a titillating story. I myself usually skip over it.
You are
now.
It broke out because of the MAGA reaction, and now the vultures are circling.
But for the last several years it has been
big in one subculture, and very minor everywhere else.
You can't understand what is happening now without understanding that.
Let's face it. Liberals are having some fun with the Epstein story.
Of course they are.
Trump is being bit on the ass by something he and his supporters encouraged.
Because the outrage is coming from his own side and wasn't started by Liberals and Democrats, it has more sticking power than otherwise.
I'm not surprised at all that people are pouncing on it to see what advantage they can gain from it.
Some conservatives are angry, but my guess is nothing much more comes of it. If you say it's the Left's payback for the far right conspiracy folks, that's fine. I don't think Epstein really factored into any electoral results nor will it.
Epstein factored quite a bit into the electoral results.
It was a big part of the pitch to those disaffected voters who believe the whole system is corrupt and Trump would fix that.
Might very little come from it?
Quite possible.
The right wing has shown a VERY strong tendency to just go along and close ranks and obey orders.
The fact this broke containment clearly caught lots of the left off-guard.
The immediate assumption was that it wouldn't last a day since "Trump lied about something he claimed to care about" doesn't usually stick at all and is immediately forgiven.
There is a strong chance that they succeed in getting it under control. I wouldn't bet against it.
That it takes a few weeks instead of a few days probably doesn't matter much.
It is still noticeable in that it has rarely taken this long or been this difficult for Trump and co.
I just think now it's a tired story that's run its course.
Not surprising.
You didn't pay attention to it before.
It seems sordid and trashy, which you don't seem to relish in from my recollection, and it hurts Trump and the GOP.
That's a perfect recipe to find it tired and annoying and want it to go away.
The Trump-Wall Street Journal squabble is a derivative story.
It is, but it may be a more interesting one long term.
Right wing media hasn't been willing to go after Trump very hard and has usually backed off fairly quickly when facing push back.
Right now, the WSJ is saying, "you want to sue? go ahead".
That's at least interesting, but again it all may blow over fairly quickly.
PS- Of course, it's always interesting to come here and find those with modest command of information individually breaking news on Epstein, Trump, Clinton, etc. that no major outlets have.
Oh, TERB always has secret information that no one else has.
It's just the way of things.
