Anybody else enjoying the fact that maga manufactured this outrage and now it's being turned against them?
If you look at this graph and your prescient thought is "haha take that MAGA" then you are a brainwashed ideologue. This graph gives a window into the layers of rot in our political system. The complexity is perfectly represented by its form but it seems like your graph is just a big arrow that says "orange man bad".

They probably use Excel, maybe Microsoft Access.
Microsoft Access form that connects via IIS to an Excel spreadsheet acting as a database. Also the server it's running on is sitting on a wooden table.

Yes almost no one has been held accountable for any of it, "weird"?
Not really, given that anyone who might hold them accountable is also in the graph somewhere. It is very funny that the "unaccountability shield" stops at the US border, though, so it's taken out Prince Andrew.
there's Obama in there only because related to Trump via "invited to White House lunch", now he is part of septic tank?

> what fundamentally differentiates people who simply don’t like Trump for all the legitimate reasons to dislike Trump from the people who go full blown Rachel Maddow is deep-seated liberal universalism You should know this isn’t me. I was honestly optimistic for this Presidency. The corruption and lawlessness were annoying. But the masked ICE agents openly defying the law struck a nerve. And now we’re seeing folks l…
> But the masked ICE agents openly defying the law struck a nerve. The ICE agents are masked because people think they can violently interfere with federal law enforcement. People voted for the guy that promised mass deportations, and the government is entitled to carry out that policy and respond to violent resistance to those operations. Nobody is “dismissing” Epstein’s crimes. Megyn is reacting to people trying to…
Actually it is wearing masks interferes with legal law enforcement. You know how we know, because FBI told ICE that. Because now anyone can wear a mask and pretend to be ice to kidnap people. That really interferes with law enforcement man

>Trump's official calendar for that week shows his activities included: Damn, Trump would have 100% listed his sex crimes on his official calendar. Case closed.
Yeah it's most likely he snuck out from the SS and had thanksgiving with a pedo while president. /s No reason to talk about anyone who actually corresponded with Epstein I guess.
we don't know he didn't... at best we can know what he did in daylight when journos were around. the rest we can find only if SS is subpoenaed

He is, and so are a very large number of people associated with him. That is not an exhaustive list. But people who want things to improve should also shut down their ability to confect scandals or distractions, like the "Obama tan suit" controversy. Once Americans have a reasonable selection of non-insane non-compromised candidates, things may get better. The election of Mamdani is a good start in that direction, be…
Indeed, the actual controversy with Obama should’ve been all of the war crimes.

Given how strongly he was against it, this is pretty clearly a ploy. He could release them unilaterally if he hadn't just reopened the investigation which he himself shut down.
Yeah I have not a clue what is going on behind the scenes or why the previous admin did not release them.
It's a bit too bad that the network visualisation relies on d3: it is really slow with big networks, and the force directed algorithm is far from the best. Have you tried using JS libraries built specifically to visualise graph networks such as Sigma.js, Vivagraph or Cytoscape?
What do you have to run to use this thing? I have a 4090 and 32 GB of RAM and this thing is chugging at like 2 FPS, with the UI being completely unresponsive.

What if we extended this idea beyond one dataset to all discrete news events and entities: people, organizations, places. Just like here you could get a timeline of key events, a graph of connected entities, links to original documents. Newsrooms might already do this internally idk. This code might work as a foundation. I love that it's RDF.
