How true it is that the Dems can't relate to real people. The old guard must give way to the young'ns..

Correct the older folks of which I'm one NEED to move out the way to let the younger generation come and carry the heavy weights

This is true except it needn't be. If only the older folks would wake up and educate themselves about the changes in the way people consume news, the types of information they will click on in the first place, how to present it, which issues resonate... it's not being old it's being stale and refusing to embrace the changes. I can believe it's partly because so many of the changes are horrible, but not all and who cares if the point is to help turn the trajectory.

The $$$$$ thing. . .that’s too weird: (and Pelosi is nuts writing this off as a distraction . . .it’s the best thing that has happened to the Democrats since Trump arrived in 2016 . . .they are still the old school civility, keep it copacetic . . .and the entire time Merrick Garland had to know what was in these files. I understand Maureen Comey (prosecutor of Epstein and Diddy) opposing the release; you have to protect victims, and there is evidence gathered from witnesses that may not be provable, and you don’t want to jeopardize your appeal . . .but something is not right here and I’m glad MAGA is going wild)

I had not heard that - did Maureen Comey oppose the release? Victims' names and other identifying information can be redacted of course so that surprises me.

This is the Google’s AI response to that question. I believe this is exactly what happened: Former prosecutor Maurene Comey, who worked on the Jeffrey Epstein case, did not oppose the release of the Epstein files in general terms

However, in a January 2024 court declaration related to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, Comey wrote that releasing certain documents related to the Epstein investigation and prosecution could potentially harm a future retrial of Ghislaine Maxwell. 

She argued that it could lead to witness "embarrassment and harassment", making them less likely to testify. A judge in that case later agreed with the FBI's stance, which aligned with Comey's concerns in the declaration. 

In July 2025, Comey was fired from her position amidst pressure on the Trump administration to release more information regarding the Epstein case, a decision that has drawn considerable controversy and commentary.

I'm not sure she'd spill. After the hearing it would be back to the cell for her, and we all know what can happen in one of those... On the one hand if she told absolutely everything she knows there wouldn't be any reason left to have her offed, right? Nope. Remember this is the reign of retribution, and that effectively silences the next potential witness. Who is going to protect her as a witness? The FBI?

That was great, as always. Your conversations make real sense. Going over to substacks and leaving the NYT in the dust has been wonderful,, and a huge relief. I'm about 10 years older than Pelosi, and she should go anywhere except the floor of the House. The dems all seem to be dodging anything of substance, like the Epstein files, anything "nasty"--well, dems like Pelosi, Schumer, Gillibrand. What a bunch. My faith is with young people They're doing good stuff and with them, our country has hope.

I'm a diehard Democrat and a longtime Pelosi fan. That said, if Dems are in the Epstein files, they need to be exposed. She's most likely protecting people she's worked with and who give big money to Dems. Her loyalty is misplaced. It's a new day.

I've just read that the entity at State Department responsible for keeping track and 'punishing' nations for allowing sex trafficking has just lost over half of its people.. Under D sex traffickers have been pardoned and have had the American regime run interference for them.
