The choice of who to vote for is obviously up to the voters themselves." Clean up on ais ...

But I don't know if Tik Tok can ever get the trust back. I think it will just be conspiracy theories about content moderation from here on out. And I certainly don't think Meta is going to get any of it back given their history, given the fact that Instagram is just a platform for the weirdest slop.Man, I saw sexy Winnie the Pooh just doing the Douggee the other day and I was like, I don't this is making me feel too many feelings. >> I saw a sexy Winnie the Pooh doing a douge is not a sentence I'm going to ...

So, normally MAGA influencers would be salivating over a new email dump from Jeffrey Epstein. Salivating, but not, it seems, when Donald Trump is in them. Epstein wrote in 2011 to Gileain Maxwell, who's serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in grooming Epstein's victims.It read, quote, I want you to realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump. That email, which was one of more than 20,000 documents released this week by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, went on to say that Tr ...

MSNBC· 2025-11-10 22:40
Investigation and Prosecution - The Department of Justice under a potential "Trump 2.0" is described as operating in a manner aligned with Trump's desires, potentially pursuing investigations and prosecutions against his political adversaries based on unsubstantiated conspiracy theories [1] - A federal prosecutor in Florida is reportedly pursuing charges related to a "grand conspiracy" against Trump's adversaries, issuing over two dozen subpoenas targeting former FBI and CIA agents from the Obama administration [1] - The investigation has expanded significantly after being moved from Philadelphia to South Florida [14] - There are concerns that the approach to the Brennan case involves an "indict first, investigate second" strategy [15] Internal Dissent and Resignations - The investigation is causing turmoil within the Southern District of Florida, with an US attorney holding a division-wide meeting following the resignations of two prosecutors [2][3] - Career prosecutors reportedly fear being asked to work on a case that President Trump has publicly stated should lead to the arrests of numerous individuals, including former President Barack Obama and former CIA director John Brennan [3] Political Motivations and Implications - The pursuit of these investigations is seen by some as a way to create a "pretense of criminality" around Trump's foes, which is considered a victory for his supporters [2] - There's a perception that Trump's actions are driven by a personal obsession, jealousy, and envy towards Barack Obama, rather than purely political calculations [16][17][18][19] - The goal is to label Obama with the same "label of criminality" that Trump himself faced, seeking a "tit for tat" scenario [9]

From @WSJopinion: The assassination of Charlie Kirk became another battleground for conspiracy theories about Jewish influence and other nefarious forces. Kirk deserved better than to have his death become fodder for Gnostic fantasies, writes @JoshJAppel. https://t.co/FTIiOr5uvN ...

Dan Brown’s books both use conspiracy theories and spawn them. You less read Mr Brown than triangulate him—book in one hand, phone in the other—to verify each fact.His latest novel does not disappoint on that score https://t.co/Mw7bJEo7TW ...
'Political theater': No subpoena for Epstein's 'sweetheart deal' maker
MSNBC· 2025-08-07 18:14
Political & Legal Analysis - The list of individuals potentially related to the case appears to be politically motivated, resembling a list of political adversaries [1] - The release of the "Epstein file" is unlikely, and grand jury records are also unlikely to be fully released [4] - Any released grand jury transcripts will likely be redacted to protect the identities of uncharged third parties [6] - A strategy of delay, working things through the court, might be effective due to anticipated changes in House leadership [3] Public Perception & Strategy - The situation is perceived as political theater aimed at diverting attention from unfulfilled promises regarding the "Epstein list" [4] - A potential strategy involves redirecting the MAGA base's frustration towards the judiciary [5] - The base, having been promised specific outcomes, is likely to be dissatisfied with redacted releases or lack of information [5][6] - The administration's handling of the situation is viewed as a miscalculation, particularly concerning conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein [7]
