Iām just gonna say it. I donāt believe Nancy Maceās reaction to hearing Epsteinās victims to be genuine. Sheās weaponized her trauma so much against victims in the past that everything she does is theatre at this point. Iāll believe her when she actually follows through with doing something.

Why are the court rulings against Trump important if they arenāt that effective now? Because when heās no longer in power those who try to fill that void will have those same rulings used against them to be the scapegoats. Our job will be to make sure the enablers are held to account.
