Mehdi on the creepy dead pedophile who was threatening a creepy president, the latest from Marjorie Taylor Greene's revolt, and Gavin Newsom's ambitious attempt to unite the Democratic Party.
“The great irony, of course, is that the MAGA movement spent the past decade furiously insisting that a secret cabal of politicians has been covering up child sex crimes, and it turns out they may have been right, but what they didn’t realize is that the cover-up is coming from inside the house. Yet the same conservatives who accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of murdering their opponents now have little to say about the ridiculously suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein in federal (read: Trump) custody.”
Hassan, I couldn’t agree more. It’s definitely coming from inside the house. Based on nothing, a conspiracy theory metastasized about a secret cabal led by Hillary, who were a running a child sex ring from a DC pizza place in the basement.
A MAD man eventually stormed and shot up the place: Cosmo Pizza. He was looking for the kids in the basement. Cosmo has no basement and the only kids were with their parents eating pizza.
Yet, we have emails from Bannon, a staunch advocate for these conspiracies advising Epstein how to dodge the bad press and get back into Trump’s good graces; and all we hear are crickets!
Trump has pardoned hardened criminals (J6th), rapists, pedophiles and Madoff styled Wall Street grifters. And yet, nothing, nada, zilch when it comes to hearing from the far right and their entire media ecosystem for every crime they accuse democrats of committing.
Bottom line: every accusation, is a confession! IMHO…:)
I have questioned why media pundits, including those on MSNBC, have been so quick and consistent in referring to Epstein’s death as a suicide. I think there are too many unanswered questions to arrive at a conclusion either way. So why not “alleged” suicide, or even “apparent” suicide, or “death that a medical examiner has ruled a suicide.”
I am hoping the U.N. sides with Palestine and votes against the pending resolution. Why should Palestine be punished while Israel is not?
Finally, why do Democrats seem so adept at seizing defeat from victory? One example, Ro Khanna, when asked in a cable news program over the weekend who should replace Charles Schumer as a leader of the party included Cory Booker in the four individuals he recommended. Cory Booker? He of the infamous photo ops with wanted war criminals Netanyahu and Gallant, who reliably votes against cutting off even offensive weapons to Israel and has consistently taken money from the Israeli lobby? This sheds doubt on the seriousness and depth of Khanna’s own criticisms of Israel, particularly in light of his past comment that no candidate who supports cutting off military aid to Israel will get the Democratic nomination. When are they going to get that the people have limited tolerance for funding a genocide? How low are they willing to go? (Well, we’ve seen the answer to that. Joe Biden gave it to us). It is looking more and more like we’ll have to look outside the Democratic as well as Republican Party for leadership going forward. The Democrats always seem ready to shoot themselves in the foot.
The PedoPrez may be the dog that didn’t bark but I have a feeling as the Epstein Files become public, others like Bubba in Texas and others WILL talk to save their reputations and billions. Even the cat lady hater aka couch fucker aka VP tweeted the truth about his cohort on Oct 7, 2016 and Sept 4, 2021. Great truth telling piece, Mehdi.
WHY ON EARTH are we letting a Mossad agent conquer our narrative - even after his death? Why are we promoting Israeli Mossad?
Why are we letting a criminal state conquer the US media? Why are we letting outside agents play in US politics?
I’m really not understanding why you are shooting yourself in the foot? You say you are anti-Israel, but then you highlight their Mossad agent and help in letting them conquer the US narrative? And play in US politics?
I think if years of "friendship" and shared guilty verdicts of child abuse can make one close, but as for how Epstein died? Anything is possible. I would suggest that KNOWING This behavior could "could bring them down" means that they both knew that behavior was unacceptable to the public and would bring trouble. Perhaps if it was innocent? No one would have to "die or "win" a place at the grown up table. They knew it was wrong. They kept it a secret to dare each other into revealing the behavior. Deciding which felon won in the end? All I can tell you is we are stuck with the one who did. Do we excuse Trump, accused of murder, or not, as president as a convicted felon? If we do? Epstein is the last thing we need to worry about. The convict is still our president. A convicted Felon. How much more do we need to hear? Especially the religious right, who can forgive the exploitation of girls, but only after a certain age? Not eight but fifteen?.
Now that the creepy president has flip-flopped on the creepy pedophile, how do we know how much he has deleted from those files? All of a sudden he has okayed it.....
Donvict’s seeming change of mind notwithstanding, the Epstein/Democrats investigation he has ordered will (necessarily!) preclude release of the files. Heads I win, tails you lose.
Here's some kindling to throw on the conspiracy fire, although to point out the obvious and extraordinary strangeness of all this isn't conspiratorial.
The list of interested parties extends beyond Trump. Especially now that we know that Epstein said he was in contact with the Kremlin about Trump, and Epstein's procurer of Russian women was said to be Pyotr/Peter Listerman, who also introduced Boris Nemtsov to his partner Anna Douritskaïa/Durytska, the sole witness to Nemtsov's assassination by Putin, and accused by the Kremlin for his murder.
One strange thing that stands out is that Listerman is not included on the Senate Finance Committee's "Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act" (PETRA), but several émigré women associated with Epstein are listed.
Karyna Shuliak, Epstein's partner from Belarus, is one. Shuliak was the last person to speak with him on phone and visited Epstein in jail prior to death. The bill also lists Nada Marcinkova/Nadia Marcinko, Epstein co-conspirator from Slovakia. Both women became associated with Epstein at the same time as Listerman, and it was reported in 2016 that his Manhattan home was filled with “Russian girls [that] already have Jeffrey’s phone number.”
WTAF??? 30 YEARS IN PRISON for an abortion or aiding in? And, we must not forget Palestinians. The hard part is continuing to sit and watch it. THIS is why we need the Epstein files: to have the entire rotted cabal revealed and removed, root and branch. NOW. JUSTICE. NOW. PEACE. NOW.
There is a fine line between reporting facts, and enticing people into gossip. I don't know if Trump did Epstein in, I don't know how I feel about Epstein calling Trump a bad man. Epstein's version of a bad man seems not to include sex trafficking. Marjorie Taylor wants the light on her, even the open fridge would be enough. She is noise. Filler, distraction. What she thinks is hardly relevant to the crisis in health care we face now. IF she had something to say about that, I would be shocked because she and TRump use the same tactics. Blame and look at me. When she has something of substance she could implement, rather than say "look at me, not him" she might be worth paying attention to. It's the same tactics she seems to have learned from Trump. Make it all about her and by the way? Sexual abuse of a eight year old AND a 15 year old seems to me a revolting splitting of hairs. Enough with Taylor. She wasn't getting enough attention. She would split the entire constitution with Trump if either of them were aware of such document. I just wish she had the skills to write a position paper, speak about facts and not pose as anything but a rather sad "influencer". In general they tend to fade away from lack of attention. Let's have a collective lack of attention or interest. She doesn't matter if she has no constructive way to move forward.
Would the tyrump stoop to murder? Of course he would; he is murdering people in cold blood in the Caribbean almost daily.
“Trump is the dog that didn’t bark” he thought to himself minutes before he was strangled to death.
That’s your Goodfellas scene.
Whoa. Truth can be scarier/more perverted than fiction…

Well beyond even your usual brilliance, Mehdi. Thanks for the fabulous perspective.

Greetings, this fine Monday. Phenomenal reporting, Mehdi! Great start to the week.

Bill Barr is also, on record, the last man to visit Epstein the day before he died….
To your pop quiz the answer is: William Barr
Donvict’s seeming change of mind notwithstanding, the Epstein/Democrats investigation he has ordered will (necessarily!) preclude release of the files. Heads I win, tails you lose.
Here's some kindling to throw on the conspiracy fire, although to point out the obvious and extraordinary strangeness of all this isn't conspiratorial.
When Epstein was hired at Dalton, headmaster Barr had just published the sci-fi novel "Space Relations" about child sex slavery: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epstein-truthers-are-obsessed-with-a-sci-fi-book-about-child-sex-slavery-written-by-bill-barrs-dad/
