Here is an email that Elon Musk, current world’s richest man and owner of a gigantic social media network that generated child sexual abuse material on demand, sent to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on November 11, 2012: “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

At first glance, the latest Department of Justice dump of Epstein documents is at least as horrifying as any of the dumps that came previously. Whether or not—and most likely not—any consequences of any sort come for any of the people who interacted with or were friends with the notorious child sexual abuser, the documents are depraved and continue to show that Musk and many other rich and powerful people have been lying about their relationships with Epstein for years.

In September, Musk tweeted “this is false” in response to a Forbes article based on previously released documents that stated he “planned a trip to Epstein’s private island.” He also wrote “Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” Musk had previously been named on Epstein’s calendar as being slated to visit Epstein’s island in 2014.

The are no more Republicans. That was just the larval stage until they morphed into their final form - MAGA. They're all MAGA now.

The Republican Party is officially dead, and should only be referred to in a scholarly/ historical context, like the Whigs.

I think the Dems should make it an official policy, and then only refer to them as MAGA from now on, even correct MAGAs and even journalists when they use the archaic term Republican.

Just like the Dems gets all pissy when MAGAs call them the Democrat Party, this will make the MAGAs bunch up their panties. Do it all the time, really irritate them. It's funny to see them get angry.
