The reasons this Epstein File is sticking is due to two things in my view and in some cases a “third rail”… religion. First, betrayal of what Trump ran on…transparency and taking on so called leaders who he has targeted. Epstein was one of these. The other is the Christian right of the MAGA Core. They may include Christian Nationalists and others Christians who are not Nationalists. This group is a strong base, and they will not tolerate, even Trump, if he is proven to be involved with children being raped and sexually assaulted. If he loses even 10%, he and his supporters, will not win. When we win back the House, these MAGA’s will see the truth ,and he will be disgraced, and many in his cowardly party will also. We must vote to assure this happening and salvage democracy.
I don't know man...if I had to guess, and I could be wrong, I would say that the Christian part of the base is the part MOST LIKELY TO STICK WITH HIM in the event of a worst case "Epstein Files" release scenario.
If they are willing to tolerate him as a means to an end even with multiple adulteries (even with porn stars, when his children are young), and with multiple sex abuse/rape incidents, then I am at a lost as to how they are going to draw the line at sexual abuse of minors.
But I don't know. I will keep an open mind to your point here. Hope you're right, that's for sure.
SO, HERE IS A SEVEN YEAR OLD DOCUMENTARY ABOUT DOLOS AND THE “YOUNG”COMMISSIONED BY THE BBC THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE - ON THE BBC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB0IpYuYzk0 . One can come to his or her own conclusions as to why the video is only accessible via a third-party source on YouTube (defamation?). It is all so curious.
Have Squeaker Johnson and Ghislaine Maxwell just become a great deal more influential at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? So, do a YouTube search on “Katie Johnson interview 2016”. Her interview as a recollection of her former 13-year-old self might be unsettling for some Republicans outside of MAGA. You can judge for yourself if she reads as credible. As some people may know, pimps and their recruiters definitely run operations at major city bus stations looking for “strays”.
Folks:
Scaramucci believes that the Dems are too incompetent to stop the in-our-face cover-up by Dolos and his minions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ivuhEjcawk . I believe that he is wrong as long as the side of righteousness focuses on the victims. These were young women of a certain age and class (i.e. targeted for both). One victim was too poor for “bus fare”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEh__2C2vbA .
In a related matter, “White Australia” was a real movement back in the day. It is quite relevant to our country now. Also, too much of the present looks like the same old eugenics.
Lastly, Democrats need to revisit Russia, Russia, Russia. Dolos has opened the door, and a reexamination of Russian interference without the input of Bill Barr (remember his father employed Epstein at a high-end prep school without any credentials) could be fruitful. Also, note that many intelligence pros feel that QAnon became a Russian Op over time. Everything is circular and connected.
CARTHAGO DELENDA EST (via nonviolence).
P.S. : DEMOCRATIC officials keep mentioning (and showing) Jan. 6 and the PARDONS relative to the current “law and order” push by Dolos and his associates. This is a simple but strong contrast. Use social media to promote testimonies by former “January 6 Commission” members and witnesses. YES, re-litigate Jan. 6 - again and again and again. Dolos needs to realize that he lives in a GLASS HOUSE. Go on Faux News Channel because it is just like an “unrepresented” Republican district - i.e. plenty of visuals devoid of facts. The VISUAL EVIDENCE IS NOW ON YOUR SIDE. GO ON ESPN (a male-leaning channel) and express concern about the viability of the pending World Cup with actors like Dolos and Miller in the mix. With measles rampant and anti-vax officials influencing policy, will tourists want to visit the USA (weak ticket sales?): https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/soccer/heres-what-fifa-president-gianni-infantino-said-about-ice-cbp-agents-at-club-world-cup/ar-AA1GwUkA ?
P.P.S.: Do the following now! FIRST, TEACH CIVICS. Second, register voters. THIRD, TEACH CIVICS. Rinse. Repeat.
P.P.P.S.: Every local office of the Democratic Party and of the elected officials (including state representatives on up) must become a site for civic teach-ins and a clearing house for needed services (with Federal departments being sabotaged). The fact is that Democrats believe in the value of government and of government service, and the other side (i.e. the MAGAts and the illiberals) simply doesn’t. This engagement process will make registering partisan voters and teaching civics much easier.
Wow, what a great chat with the amazing Katie Phang! The emphasis on building a community is vital and I am so grateful for this Hopium community every single day. Katie’s community is excellent as well. We will be here for the long haul and we will have our bad days, but we need to have each other‘s backs too.
Simon, the news is so frustrating day after day. It's great to listen to intelligent and well-informed people. Each day, I receive over 50 texts asking for $$$. I want to make a difference, but I must be discerning in who I contribute to. Can you have a session on contributions? I try to give to the current electors, such as Spanberger and Jon Ossoff.
I cannot believe we are here. Bargaining with a convictedh pedophile without any consideration of the victims that she, Epstein and many wealthy men slugger no consequences. 47 will pardon her. Disgusting.
I love the idea of betrayal as a theme for those of us who support democracy. I truly feel betrayed when I think of what this country has become. My first eligibility to vote was for JFK. To think that there is a move to name something in the Kennedy Center for Melania, the uneducated courtesan that found her miserable sugar daddy at the Kit Kat Club with Epstein and his friends and who destroyed the White House Rose Garden. Trash.
It makes me physically ill. My parents voted JFK & brought baby me along to his funeral at Arlington. I remember DC before the Kennedy Ctr & what a gift it was to the city when it first opened. Many, many happy evenings there. The thought of these people laying waste to my beautiful hometown makes me just irate on a daily basis.
Great conversation, Simon and Katie! Thanks for the shared passion to tell the truth and hold the powerful to account. You're both continually inspiring.
Just saw the interview with Katie Phang, BETRAYAL...one word says it all. Betrayal of : immigration, economy, constitutional order, rule of law, healthcare, social security, FEMA for disasters. No one is untouched by his betrayal....except for his inner circle , Betrayal says it all.

There is no excuse for inaction— including guilty parties on the Left. Go after the weird legacy of QAnon. Challenge Republicans on the QAnon myth and its role as an incentive for violence against Democrats: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3kdFl9cLV2vMmVf696ZVJjM/the-coming-storm-eight-things-we-learned-when-louis-theroux-interviewed-gabriel-gatehouse .

Great interview! Katie's fire and fighting spirit is inspiring!

Wonderful to hear from both of you again. I think you're both spot on about continuing to pound on the Trump betrayal of America theme.
Thank you both for this incredible interview!
The Ads by Senaca Project (senacaproject.us) clearly state the damage the Republicans and Trump are inflicting on American families.
Thank you, Barbara. Just correcting the link (it’s Seneca).

THey will not get the REAL files.
There is no Department of Justice and no respect for the rule of law in the govt of 47. Only evil, vengeful, ignorant minions.
I cannot believe we are here. Bargaining with a convictedh pedophile without any consideration of the victims that she, Epstein and many wealthy men slugger no consequences. 47 will pardon her. Disgusting.
That's the only printable word I can find to describe how it makes me feel. Disgusting.
You're a wonderful person. I love your fire,Katie.
