Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

I'm done with weak-willed Democrats who are afraid to engage with the worst threat this nation has faced since the Civil War. They are the problem, and it's time to solve the problem. If you aren't willing to fight, get out of the way, and shut up. Stop trying to convince people that the better path is to be weak and wait for EVIL to finally change their ways. They won't, they're EVIL.

Ds are LOSERS, and if they want to change that, they need to stop sniffing their own farts, and get in the game.

I too, am less than impressed by the current crop of Dem leadership, and they are historically piss weak too. But I LOATHE the R's who are currently destroying society as we know it, and see them as the largest threat, at this time. Once Donny 2 Dolls and his corrupt cohorts have been dealt with, then that may be the better time to deal with lickspittle Dems. As with much of life, sometimes we need to balance things and triage what is most important. Once we have dealt with the metastasizing brain tumor, then is a better time to deal with the herpes and erectile dysfunction.

Edit: If there's an early opportunity to shiv Chucky Fucking Schumer, then we should definitely take that.....

Dude, you and I are eye-to-eye, even on Schmuck Schumer.

I'd love to see AOC do to him what she did to that calcified old fart she kicked out to get her current seat. Bernie can't last forever, and I'd hate to see the Senate with no progressive representation at all, and she'd be the perfect choice to pick up his sword. I'm sure he'd agree, which is why he took her on a speaking tour with him. That's as strong an endorsement of her as possible.
