Are we currently witnessing one of the biggest and most blatant and obvious government coverups of all time?

I'm surprised that individual lawmakers haven't legally nullified everything against both Epstein and Maxwell.

Granted: this is something that truly nobody, neither MAGA nor liberals nor moderates nor literally any mass movement anyplace, wants. It would be as unsupported as the government banning ice cream cones. Or intentionally blowing up Mount Rushmore. Still, could happen.

I rate the odds of Trump pardoning everybody and screaming that Epstein was framed alongside that Maxwell was framed at a 75% likelihood.

White people are so pathetically fragile and cannot even be bothered to engage with their own racial history, and this thread is plenty evidence of that fact. It says a lot when calling that out is seen just as racist as lynching a black man for no reason, hanging him, burning the body, calling it a barbecue, and then sending a postcard to another family member about said 'barbecue'

If this upsets you, you're pathetic. I'm not arguing about it, I'm calling you out.

Donald Trump owned casinos, which exploited people's gambling addictions, and he filed for bankruptcy six times in order to try to game the system. He is now considered by a subset of America to be the greatest President of the modern era because of these skills and capabilities. The Republican party either generally supports this or is merely using him as a means to advance their own agenda -- each possibility distasteful. Republicans promote opposite values in their campaigns.

>An opportunist is someone who lacks moral and ethical concern
Which again, still leaves absolutely nothing for me to go off of in the original context.
He's an opportunist because... What? He just is?

>I mean I never heard Ramsey suggest to his callers that they should game the system, as Trump has done,
Assuming you are correct that he's "gamed" the system, is Donald Trump this Ramsey character?
From what you've described, seeing as you've labeled him an "opportunist" with an explicit moral derision, I would think it pretty irrelevant what he thinks.
Certainly he is not the entirety of Trump supporters either.

Why must Donald Trump, and anyone who supports him, abide by the divine will of Ramsey as though his word comes straight from the heavens themselves?
Seems rather absurd to me. Near as I can tell, there's nothing to justify such a thing, beyond perhaps a conflation of two individuals as the same because they're on the same 'side' politically, which even itself might be a stretch.

>The relevance is that Fundamentalist Christians say people should be moral, yet many appear unable to tell when their moral inclinations are being manipulated, don't care, or supports such manipulation.

One of the main reasons for appointing Kennedy as the Secretary of Health was so that he could launch mRNA vaccine studies to see if DNA fragments created in the production of mRNA vaccines integrate into human cells, potentially causing cancer. Yet, this hasn't been done yet despite all the other things that have been done already. It also seems like Republicans in general are now actively against mRNA vaccines, withdrawing research funding, including (apparently) not providing funds for research that would prove they are harmful.

I'm starting to think that Republicans never really cared about whether mRNA vaccines were safe to begin with and are simply against anything that is new.

Thoughts or any news that these studies are still going to be done? Or are they never going to be done because they know doing them would prove that they are safe?

Of course, the freak out over mRNA vaccines wasn't sincere. It was all part of a grand conspiracy theory that absolved Trump of handling the pandemic with incompetence, and that federal employees were mandated to take it after Biden took office.

Never trust politician or media pundits to be sincere about anything. In fact never take at face value anything anyone says if they're asking you to help them gain power or a large amount of money.

From the news going around and the special cause for autism that is being researched, it seems like current MAHA is not friendly to vaccines full stop.

We're going find that effective vaccines are a myth of the past and that the only way to keep yourself safe from illnesses is by building a strong immune system by exercise and a diet of whatever supplements being peddled. Oh, and healthy genetics.
Otherwise,, if you die, you die.

I didn't expect any different.

At any rate, living in a world in which all of the moderates, all of the centrists, all of the libertarians, all of the democratic socialists, all of the liberals, and everybody who's "not right-wing" (which is sort of like putting "not bald" or "not having blue eyes" into a gigantic bucket) are supposedly racist shitbags... if we take the MAGA claim that they're blessed, sainted angels while everybody else not in their tiny group is inferior bastards and suppose that MAGA is correct that they're a kind of tribalist master race better than everybody else... that would still not make it justified for people on the right to be racist back against anybody in revenge. Anyways. In the first place. Since that's not how morality works.

"Other people do immoral things, therefore I can too" is the mindset of a whiny toddler. To be honest.

Why even bother if the government wants us all dead, zombies, or in a military cult?

https://www.kff.org/tracking-the-medicaid-provisions-in-the-2025-budget-bill/

of particular note ...work/education requirements have been enabled unless you can prove your mental illness to a government official, which is sadistic, and if you happen to get cancer without being on medicaid, if you don't somehow get a job or go to school immediately (they will only pay 30 days prior to coverage instead of 90 now, and you have to have worked 30 days prior to the application), you're not covered, which is also sadistic.

(also if a state that hasn't enrolled yet in medicaid expansion, the very good cost-sharing incentive is now gone, meaning they probably won't)

How is this supposed to motivate people to be proud of their country and participate in society, again?

The American people are chickens. And they vote for Colonel Sanders. That's really all there is to it.

We want Social Security abolished. We want Medicare abolished. We want Medicaid abolished. We want minimum wage laws abolished. We want labor unions exterminated. We want more pollution. We want more inflation. We want lower wages. We want fewer options in terms of housing. It goes on and on. We want any restrictions on the power of government and business control over our lives ended.

We want this. And we're getting it. Good and hard. We're getting it.

Like the homosexuals, the feminists, the Jews, the transgender people, and the rest of Iran who marched in favor of the Islamic extremists taking over that country's government from the Shah and fervently wanting the Ayatollah-led revolution, with gay men kissing each other as they waved green flags covered with the Muslim crescent symbols, we really hate ourselves. Passionately. And we want an elite in power to show us "who's boss".

Like the Austrians, Czechs, Poles, and the rest who cheered on for the Nazis as they invaded. Like the Rwandan population that screamed in favor for the genocide. Like the Mongolians who would do anything for Genghis Khan.

We want a daddy. And Trump is our national daddy. Daddy. Not a President. Not a leader. Not anything else. Daddy. He's your daddy. He's my daddy. He's America's daddy.

Editorial content has no obligation to be 'balanced'. It's literally a way of expressing an opinion, and if that's in reference to current events then of cpurse their going to reference the news their commenting on, of course their presenting their opinion alone. You consume other people's editorial content to get their opinions in response. Frankly this seems like a real stretch to try and play the victim over something that's been a well established practice in media for literally centuries. Editorial content is not reporting, is expressing opinions, thats what an editorial section of a newspaper fundamentally is, and the vast majority of content about politics posted on YouTube is editorial in nature, as well as the majority of content on cable news channels.

Political cartoons are and have always been simple propaganda.
The default state for them is strawmanning the opposition.
You are right they have no obligation to be balanced; they are within their rights to be propaganda.
But acting as though it's consequently anything but propaganda is asinine at best.
