Trump administration officials are perplexed, as many people are, by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused and trafficked scores of underage girls. The president and Epstein had a well-documented friendship.

    Not to be a bummer, but history is written by the victors, and we’re losing…

    I think it very well may do a 180, but it’s just an educated hope.

      That at least used to be true when publishing was centralized. These days you’d need access to a lot of servers in a lot of countries to be thoroughly historically revisionistic.

      Or just introduce a social credit score system and even more mass surveillance so you can punish everyone with the temerity to attempt to educate themselves. So, I guess that’ll be coming soon.

      Hey, who doesn’t like at good ol’ fashioned blackbagging and a free drive in the party van at 3am? If you’re lucky, they might even throw in a rubber-hosing. Your neighbors ‘didn’t see nuthin’.
