#53Jack Blanchard in the Politico podcast (almost as good as Odd Lots if you're fine with listening to stuff at 2x speed on commutes) remarked that one of the most important aspects of the response to the publicization of the first 2% of the Epstein Files is that it may be a watershed moment where the better parts of citizen journalism have become completely competitive with institutional journalism, due heavily to the…
The amount of breathless conclusion jumping from citizen journalists has been completely bananas as well. I had to tell a friend of mine to take a break from it. The level of tinfoil hat theories (example: cannibalism) which people are now taking as the truth off of which to build more theories is really something. The unfortunate thing is - in our current environment, the crazy speculation and knowingly dealing in j…
> (example: cannibalism) which people are now taking as the truth
I haven’t seen any indication of “people that didn’t previously believe in cannibal elites now believe in cannibal elites after reading the emails” being a phenomenon that actually exists.
I’ve yet to interact with anyone that has seriously said “I didn’t believe they ate babies on Tuesday but it is Thursday and now I believe they were eating babies.” but people are posting like that’s a thing that happens frequently now. It’s almost like the tinfoil hat theory I’ve seen the most isn’t “pedophile cannibals” but rather “reading the emails will make you go crazy and start believing in cannibal pedophiles” like they are an actual real-life Lovecraftian hazard, which is a much more outlandish idea than… kooks and hucksters continuing to be kooks and hucksters.

Pam Bondi said if the DOJ went after everyone the whole system would collapse is why.
> Pam Bondi said if the DOJ went after everyone the whole system would collapse is why. This is a criminally colluding Pam Bondi saying this. I guarantee that every single person on the Epstein list is replaceable many times over. There is not a single person on that list that is indispensable in any role they play in society. Full stop. Don't fall for it. It's just the way the system is built. Even Pam Bondi is repl…
she, like every other member of the administration is a DEI hire

She is more worried about her own exposure. She can picture the ship sinking but doesn't want to drown with the other rats she helped protect.
Don't be naive, do you really think Pam Bondi has a choice in the release of these files?
She is just a figurehead, her or her family's life is almost certainly under threat

Actually, no she didn't, but a lot of people are saying she did.
Snopes confirms this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bondi-epstein-files-system... But everyone knows Snopes is leftist propaganda, so it's probably false. /s
It is amazing that this has to be confirmed on a website...
Wouldn't there be a clip of her saying it?
No one has even bothered to spend the 25 cents on an AI generated one as far as I've seen.

> What a fucking joke. This site is a joke. This discourse is a joke. The entire pretense of these bullshit conversations are a joke. Don't take it out on me. I am outraged. I can't be outraged every minute of every day, and certainly not at the very-unlikely-to-be-true worst theories from the files. I am so sorry my post did not live up to your expectations. You're right about something: > you know, than remarking o…
Sorry, I regretted this pretty much after I wrote it. I'm upset, didn't need to be at you. I'm having a bit of a hard time compartmentalizing? all of this, despite my default cynic attitude. Time for an extended break from things.
Kudos for recovering this nicely.
I've seen a number of HN threads lately where commenters regain their balance like this and respond in a thoroughly decent way.
A new pattern? I wish! but it's probably just the clustering illusion... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37303788)

#60How low we have become to do nothing about it? No arrests no convictions?
What do you mean?
I understand the reporting is like "LOOK AT ALL THESE CRIMES" but the files themselves are stuff like "Tee hee I know some girls for you".
How do you get from that to an arrest or conviction? If you unredacted that person, identified them and called them would they tell you that the girls were all 18 or older? Or would they incriminate themselves? Do you know it hasn't already been followed up on?
I honestly dont understand what people are expecting here.
