The chief law enforcement officer of the US government shouting indignantly about how she shouldn’t have to answer questions about a massive human trafficking scandal as long as the stock market is doing well is crazy. But it does explain how we got here as a society.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is really one of the more galling parts of this discourse every time it pops up; random American civilians are supposed to be calm, disciplined, ice-water in their veins, but armed agents of the state are entitled to take life on the basis of “feelings”
a woman is expected to remain completely calm as armed white supremacist thugs try to forcibly open her car door but an ICE agent is allowed to panic and shoot someone in the head three times from a foot away because he “felt threatened”

42% of cancer patients in America deplete their entire life savings within the first 2 years of their diagnosis. We can't help them, but apparently we can bribe everyone in Greenland with a check of up to $100 grand if they secede from Denmark. Because: America first!
The White House is reportedly discussing paying everyone who lives in Greenland anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per person if they secede from Denmark. This is apparently what putting Americans first looks like.

I would like us to remember the Lord’s words: “Truly, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40). It is truly so! If we concretely love those who are hungry and thirsty, those without clothing, those who are sick, strangers,

Not knowing who you pardoned, if you pardoned them, and who they are when they just gave your family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, should be a way bigger controversy than an auto pen.

No briefing. No evidence. No names. Just people blown up in the Caribbean and called “drug dealers.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s extrajudicial killing. The Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Until then, these strikes are as wrong as what China or Iran does.
