Having lived in the DC area for about forty years, I can say that I’ve never been assaulted or mugged. I’ve never been carjacked. I’ve walked the streets at night, including walking past homeless people. I’m not saying crime doesn’t happen or isn’t bad or shouldn’t be addressed, but Trump’s move is a political stunt and power play. And an ominous one.
So I have just one question for Trump: why haven’t you released the Epstein files??
I hate to say this, Dale, but all of Trump’s Maga people know that he’s a womanizer and a pedophile. They don’t care. He hates who they hate and that is the only way they operate. Hey, that rhymed! I do it all the time!
I’ve been thinking the same, but I’m not sure it would work on Democrat “normies” whose heads aren’t wired like MAGA. I follow a fair number of leftie alternative media, and when they post frequent hair-on-fire headlines, it feels ridiculous, even to me. We need to tweak that model somehow to better reflect basic intelligence. Maybe fighting fire with fire isn’t applicable. But I’m not sure of an alternative . . .
It's fading in the bought-and-sold corporate media. God knows what the owners of these places have been doing. But in real life? Trump is a pedo gets painted on every overpass in town every weekend here. My completely checked out daughter who couldn't find Israel on a map if her life depended on it just texted me asking why we're protecting "child predator rapists".
I agree about the corporate media dropping the Epstein topic. Thus we contribute to independent journalists on Substack. Maybe someone will start a daily podcast/Substack dedicated to the Epstein case. The NYT could have a specific Epstein tab, but they’re too afraid to, is my guess. I bet they did something like that during Watergate.
I'm showing my age but crime scare, rainbow scare and welfare queen have been Republican staples for 100 years. Furthermore when did any major American city not have crime and areas with a lawless element. Certainly my life time and really since cities became urban areas instead of large towns its been a reality.

Epstein is already fading . . . As intended.
Democrats are still pushing, and are waiting for the recess to end to continue their fight.
I’m sure you’re right. But there are so many battle fronts facing Democrats. That’s part of the overall MAGA strategy, and it’s effective.
Flood the zone with shit. Unfortunately it works unless the Dems can organize better to offset it

Yep, which is a reason why I want to keep asking the question.
Yes; we all need to keep that question front and center.
I noticed yesterday morning the pedo stuff for Trump was trending on X - didn't take long for it to change but at least it pops up
