people think the epstein stuff is a distraction from "real issues" but the fact of the matter is that this is a VIP sexual blackmail network at the core of political crisis under which all other issues are secondary because this criminal network has seized control of the country

this fact makes a lot of people angry because they've invested their entire lives in issues that don't really matter at this late stage in the game. like no one gives a shit about your wonky healthcare policy at this point, and that makes you irrelevant. sucks for you.

this is why you see people, and jeet heer is the best example, constantly bite at the ankles of the people focused on the big picture stuff because the big picture makes him and what he has pretended to know completely bunk. and that's personally and professionally hard to accept
