The South Park guys are classic “leave me alone” independents, a concept that’s swung pretty wildly between appealing to left and right audiences depending on the political moment. It’s a relevant bellwether.
In any case it’s somehow the first piece of media I’ve seen that reflects the very real and incredibly politically important subset of people who are turning on Trump after having liked him earlier in the year. Nothing else has even tried to catch onto that.
As a person who covered Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, and who has read through pretty much every single Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit, I find the current discourse to be in bizarro land.
what really grinds my gears are dogs in grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. it's disgusting. everyone knows it's not allowed, but there's complete impunity, with staff either not wanting the hassle of enforcing the posted rules or even giving the dogs treats

Like most of the Dems who are still fuming about this, he insists “the elites” were behind this. IRL any reporter who talked to voters heard a drumbeat of “but they’re not actually gonna run Biden again, right?” for three years.
I don’t know if it’s possible to say anything about it was overlooked, but a striking part of the Hunter Biden rant was his teeing off on the excessive media coverage of Biden‘s age. Tis a reminder that for all the squawking on the right about the news being suppressed that Joe…
NEW: An Epstein accuser recounts how she told the FBI on two occasions about Trump’s ties to Epstein and other powerful men like Clinton. This type of disclosure is just the type of information potentially buried in DOJ’s Epstein files that Trumps’s allies have clamored for.…
