Love the fire in this piece. Hopefully, this passion will extend to coverage of our state legislators and city officials who seem to evade scrutiny from a press that prefers staying chummy rather than exposing our straying flock of electeds.

I am only a bit surprised that AA has bought into the Epstein saga. This story has brought together the worst elements of American life-right-wing conspiracy nutjobs (MTG\Massie) left wing political opportunists suffering from TDS and what's left of reputable journalism. Those survivors (not victims?) could at anytime have named the men involved and their enablers and groomers but they have not. Why? Meanwhile the USS Titanic is plowing headlong into the "debtberg" at full speed and this the latest distraction. Pathetic.

So Spanky...life is just an ongoing pedagogical challenge for you. OK...we can help. 1) You don't publish the Agenda...so 2) You don't select the daily topics...and 3) Your responses are puny anyway. Go eat your cereal.

How you can refute these young women are not victims put you with a certain class of men.

The only suffering of TDS is your lips on Trump's ass. What is wrong with you?! Seriously?! Survivors?? There are around 1,000 VICTIMS!! Oh sure, just come out and name all the men. Hello, these VICTIMS were children who were sexually trafficked and treated very badly and were constantly told that if they did try to out these pedophiles, that they would have been killed, or sued or lose care promises like Danielle Bensky. Many also were forced to sign NDAs. But sure, distract and deflect and bring up one of the Republican's greatest hits.......The national debt. LOL!!! Wish to say anything about your King being the biggest contributor of our national debt???

Always so predictable the prog\lefties go personal when they are losing the argument. Pathetic mikie, try harder.

Facts matter:

National debt under Bush II from 5 to 10 trillion

Obama from 10 to 20 trillion

Trump 1 20 to 27 trillion

Biden 27 to 36 trillion

By % and dollars Obama wins with no hope and our change....

I'm sure everybody is as tired of everything-Epstein as I am. BUT...it is well worth recapping the historical involvement and perspective of our elected GOP officials just as the Agenda has done. It underscores the importance of ridding our wonderful State of these swine. If there are embarrassing elements in these files...how many MAGA will reconsider their misplaced loyalty? Probably zero. Well done.

Epstein was handled so poorly by Trump and his minions. The victims of abuse were underaged female teens. They were trafficked to many rich and powerful men. In Trump 1.0 he could have quietly released what they wanted and moved on. Trump didn’t care, he was grabbing them by the pussy. Watching Miss American women getting dressed, oh and Miss teen too. He had a public affair, knocked up his girlfriend, divorced the mother of his children and married wife #2. He was Teflon Don. Now, he may be taking down many of the Republicans in the congress. After he directed Pam Blondi to look into Democrats only, he has an excuse to not release the files. Oh, Trump sent his personal lawyer (now in DOJ) to interview convicted sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell and after she said the Donald was a perfect gentleman, and never there, they put her in a low security prison where a sex offender has never been. Steve Bannon’s making a movie, get out the popcorn. Again, can’t make this stuff up.
