    Seriously, that is something that is really disturbing to me right now.

    I 100% support calling out the guilty parties that have been named so far, but the people doing it are trying so hard to make themselves out to be the good guys when they deserve to go down with him.

    Mike Johnson getting a huge Thiel donation that he then disbursed to other House Republicans. Fucking Massie and Khanna have both received donations from Thiel. Massie and that fucking Uranium mine Thiel is coincidentally opening in KY!? Give me a fucking break!

    Then they're acting like a subpoena for who the media keeps referring to as simply "Epstein's estate" (they're his co-conspirators Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who helped him get away with trafficking and abusing his victims) will allow them to have access to this book and "reveal the truth." The same book that Murdoch somehow had access to after Vance just happened to pay him an unscheduled visit a few weeks ago..

    They've asked for an unredacted copy, so on the word of two men who got away with helping Epstein, we're supposed to believe whatever evidence they give is completely unredacted, and they want to put it in the fucking Smithsonian to document whatever history they're trying to create.

    Meanwhile, hardly any coverage or mention of Epstein's estate receiving hundreds of millions on the investments Epstein made in Thiel's company other than that one NYT article that exposed it in early June.

    Fuuuuck these people. All of them. Trump, Murdoch, Thiel, Vance, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Indyke, Kahn, Maxwell, Massie, Kahnna, Mike Johnson, and anyone else I'm leaving out (bc I know there's way more attached to Epstein, Thiel money, or both) At best they're all complicit. All of them!

    I never expected the Murdoch character to potentially have a redemption arc so late in his tenure, but it could be in the writing this season. The question is, if he does begin opening the closets and dragging out skeletons, will he have the character and new insight to drag out his own as well?

    This is the weirdest season of the House of Lards ever. The twists are great and I hope we see more.

    Murdoch is 94 years old, has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares, and is presumed to live in New York, New York

    Why don't you bring the court to him then and file in New York?

    Oh what's that? You won't have preferential treatment? And the AG absolutely HATES you? Sucks

    “Turns personal”‽‽‽‽

    When was this $10 billion lawsuit over hurting Trump‘s feefees anything other than personal?

    It’s not “news” when it extraordinarily fucking obvious everyone

  • This is my favorite part of the article:

    "The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don't even exist," Trump wrote.
