Watched the Epstein coverage on my day off w/ #WhenTheySeeUs still in my head. Struck that in the 1980s, prosecutors with 0 evidence put 5 children in prison for 7-13 years for a rape they didn't commit & 20 years later A. Acosta was supposedly helpless vs a serial child rapist?
There really are two Americas: one where the rich can get away with anything-no matter how horrible (and get on the SCOTUS and in the White House even!) and one where those who aren't rich are caged, abused, and have to beg and protest just to have healthcare. May God forgive us.
Oh, and a strip club was making it so rich men could buy some stripper girl caddies at the president of the United States' private golf club that he still makes money from because The Handmaid's Tale is a documentary. #2Americas. washingtonpost.com/politics/nonpr…

Remember when "Democrats in disarray" was a lazy media meme that didn't reflect reality...? Good times. Surely this crew are fit, focused and ready to take on Donald Trump now and in 2020... 🙄
Next up: Democratic staff hit each other with "mama jokes" between closed door testimony sessions with major Trump figures (after which transcripts will be released -- but not of the mama jokes...)
Meanwhile, in the BORDER CAGES........

When you systematically dehumanize one group of people in order to galvanize another group against them, you get this. You can openly abuse the dehumanized and your tribe won't care. They'll be in favor of it, even. The cruelty... really is the point.
Trump, his party and right wing media are aggressively directing this dehumanization against brown immigrants, Muslims, black athletes (they are little more than gladiators. They should shut up and entertain us....!) pregnant women (they are just "hosts" not people) and liberals.
It's very effective if your goal is to embed Christian ethno-nationalism into the body politic against a tide of demographic change. Very, effective.

Before people write off Amy McGrath's chances of beating Mitch McConnell, let's see how Andy Beshear (son of the two-term former Democratic governor -- who won 2-to-1 back to back elections before Bevin replaced him) does in the 2019 gubernatorial election. That will tell a lot.
Beshear not only has that popular surname, he has spent his time as A.G. suing both Beshear -- for trying to gut the state's education system, teacher pensions and "Kynect" -- Kentucky's "Obamacare" -- and drug companies for fueling the opioid epidemic.
We'll get a sense of where the state is when that race plays out.

Prosecutors: #Epstein had a "vast trove of lewd" photos of young women or girls.

Agents also found "in a locked safe ... compact discs with hand-written labels including 'Young [Name] + [Name],' 'Misc nudes 1' and 'Girl pics nudes" #JeffreyEpsteinArrest cnbc.com/2019/07/08/jef…
"For all his infamy, there are scant details of how he made his money. He ran a money management firm catering to the ultra-rich (primarily Wexner) but its assets were never made public & few on Wall Street have dealt w/ him as financier or money manager." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

ℓʋℓʋ ℓɛ Trump Abuses Children
@LuluLemew
Last month, the FBI released heavily redacted memos on the Epstein probe, and one offered a hint as to the reason for his lenient treatment:

“Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon.”  thedailybeast.com/how-did-trump-…
It’s unclear what dirt he might have given the feds. Epstein was once a limited partner at Bear Stearns and abruptly quit in 1981. Around the time of his plea deal, the investment bank’s role in the subprime mortgage crisis could have been of great interest to the feds
Trump was among the child molestor's admirers. “I’ve known Jeff for 15yrs. Terrific guy,”

“He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
