BREAKING: Transcripts Discussing Longtime Trump Pal Jeffrey Epstein—Who Once Told a Forbes Reporter That He Helped Trump Buy Mar-a-Lago—Will Be Released on Thursday; Media Has Never Followed Up on Epstein Agent's Comment to Forbes That Trump Visited Epstein's Home in December '17
(THREAD 1)
(THREAD 2)
(PS) Donald Trump cordially asks you to ignore the fact that three of the attorneys that represented him at his 2020 impeachment trial were attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein.

It is really important to Donald Trump that you not understand how close he was to Epstein across *decades*.

(THREAD) One of the questions I get most frequently on this feed—if you can believe it—is about cultural theory. I discuss #metamodernism frequently, and people often ask, "What is it?" I'll do what I can to answer the question here, with links. I hope you'll read on and retweet. Image
1/ I usually try to avoid answering this question, for many reasons. Here are just a few:

1⃣ Metamodernism has caused people to go crazy.
2⃣ Metamodernism is so new there is little literature on it.
3⃣ Metamodernists are currently in a civil war.
4⃣ Metamodernism can be complex.
2/ Two more:

5⃣ Metamodernism is a "cultural paradigm," so it is such an encompassing term it really can't be adequately discussed in a character-limited social media platform.
6⃣ Metamodernism permanently changes the lives of those who study it, so it must be wielded carefully.

BREAKING NEWS: As Presaged on This Feed Six Weeks Ago, Trump Has Announced a New "October Surprise"—a Scam Saudi-Israeli Normalization Deal That Is Merely the Formalization of the Two Nations' 2016 Agreement to Covertly Offer Illegal Election Assistance to the Trump 2016 Campaign
PS/ How did I know this was happening weeks ago? Because I wrote a book on Trump's dealings with the Saudis and Israelis in 2019 (Proof of Conspiracy). All the other conspirators in the "Red Sea Conspiracy" had already publicly normalized relations with Israel. Only MBS was left.
PS2/ I have consistently called out false claims by Trump's ODNI that Saudi Arabia isn't illegally tampering with the 2020 election—as they did so in 2016 and have more reason to do so now. A scam normalization deal is a gift MBS can give Trump to help aid his reelection in 2020.

BREAKING NEWS: CNN Post-Debate Poll Shows 53% Think Joe Biden Won the Third Presidential Debate; Only 39% Say Trump Image
MORE/ A staggering 62% of debate-watchers tell CNN that Joe Biden directly answered questions more frequently than Trump did. Only 31% say Trump was more direct—a jawdropping 31-point "doubling up" of Trump for Biden. You usually don't see numbers like this in a post-debate poll.
MORE/ 54% of debate-watchers concluded, after watching the Tennessee debate, that Democrat Joe Biden had "a better plan for solving the country's problems."

Only 42% said this of Trump.

My father passed away during the pandemic. We couldn't be with him when he died because of COVID-19 protocols in Massachusetts. He supported and encouraged me through the darkest days of my life. Trump attacking Biden for loving and supporting his troubled son makes me *see red*.
THE ATLANTIC 1/ "After 18 months of flogging the Hunter Biden story, what does President Donald Trump have to show for his efforts? His opposition research on former Vice President Joe Biden's son culminated in his own impeachment. Despite railing against the scion's alleged...
THE ATLANTIC 2/ "...swampiness at nearly every rally, Trump's convoluted narrative about Biden family corruption has taken root only on Fox News. At the very least, the accusation that Hunter leveraged his father's high office to enrich himself has failed to measurably move...

(INTERVIEW) In these last days of my 25-year career in political journalism, I'm grateful I get to close out this time in my life with a lengthy chat with @rustyrockets on the past, present, and—most importantly—the future. The interview drops on Saturday. luminarypodcasts.com/listen/russell…
(PS) For those who aren't Luminary (@hearluminary) subscribers, the site offers a three-month free trial subscription that you can use to hear my chat with Russell and much else. I'll also post YouTube clips of our 70-minute conversation as or when I'm able to do so next week.
(PS2) I began my work in political journalism writing op-eds for The Daily Dartmouth, the nation's oldest college newspaper, in 1995. In the aughts I ran The Nashua Advocate, a political website nominated for a Koufax Award. It got very big (and very quickly) during "Gannongate."

I'm not a fan of Dreyfuss, nor he of me, and his magazine has straight-up lied about me in its pages, but he's *certainly* no fan of Trump—so if he says the Giuliani-Bakalova scene is less sexual than the major-media outlets who saw it implied it was, I want readers here to know.
1/ Most of the reaction on Twitter came without the film having been seen by the authors—me included—though most of it *was* reacting to major-media reporters who'd seen the scene (or claimed to have done so). The scene is problematic whether or not Giuliani was touching himself.
2/ We're told Giuliani was flirting, drinking, asking for Bakalova's number/email, and—after agreeing to retire to a bedroom with her—touching her inappropriately (as Dreyfuss confirms). He believed her to be a foreign national from a former Soviet republic seeking info on Trump.
