Editorial: If the ceasefire holds, Donald Trump’s ill-starred foray into the Middle East will have left the Iranian regime stronger than it was before the conflict
The people who would be upset about ICE or corruption or Epstein are already upset about it. Everyone else is a collaborator or a bystander that’s varying levels of contemptible. Nobody is really going to be swayed by “distractions.”
What I dislike most about this narrative is the idea that if we stayed locked in on Epstein or what have you, it would all be over.
Talking about problems doesn’t inherently fix them.
If 7 hours of 4k footage of Donald Trump raping children were aired on every major news network, what would the American people do differently from what they’re doing now? The correct answer for the vast, vast majority I think is “fuckall.” Anyone who’s paying attention can reasonably determine that Trump is a vicious sexual predator and client of trafficked women and children, but the only question that matters is “what is anyone going to do about it?”
