I’m sorta sorry I posted this story, given the sideways discussion that has ensued. Look, the kid’s gonna walk with less than a slap on the wrist. The community already is up in arms over the light sentence. Trump or the OK governor isn’t gonna do a damn thing regarding this case; a pardon wouldn’t help the kid any more than the court has already helped him. And a pardon would only cause more uproar. Like **Irishman** said, plenty of other evil MFers to talk about. Save your breath for those assholes. ---

Not quite sure what to make of this, but the week before he was arrested, Jeffrey Epstein sent an email to himself consisting of a list of names with the subject line “list for bannon steve”.

We’ve got known clients of his (the Andrew Formerly Known As Prince), friends and associates (Clinton, Bill Richardson, Sergey Brin), media contacts (Sulzberger, Laurence Krauss, Jamal Khashoggi(!)), the string “Pope queen pres king pm”, and some wildcards (Keith Rainieri of the NXIVM cult? Castro? **CHUCK SCHUMER?** ) It’d be interesting to know what he expected Bannon to do with those names. ---

“mongolia”? “rochsild(sic)?” Sounds more like a “throw all names and titles I can think of out there and ask him to drag them all” and Bannon would not really need help for that. ---

Well he did write “barrack barak” (no comma) so who knows who he really meant, either or both or someone else. And obviously there are multiple “mandelsons” or he forgot he had mentioned him. He was probably using the e-mail to self to write it all down before the cocaine wore off. ---

What’s crazy is that antisemitism is also the cause for a lot of the support for Israel. See, according to some popular Bible fanfiction, Israel is supposed to be nuked into oblivion in Armageddon, and so it has to be kept in existence until then so it can die properly to fulfill the prophecies. ---

Right, which is why Rapture Christians believe the Third Temple has to be built in order for Jesus to come back, and do things like try to breed blemishless red heifers for sacrifice in the hypothetical future temple. ---

Comparison of Jews to cockroaches and other vermin was common in Nazi Germany. Hutu media used cockroach imagery against Tutsis during the Rwandan genocide. And more recently Katie Hopkins described migrants as cockroaches in a column in The Sun. But apparently that kind of language is OK if you’re feeling overwrought about something. > [@](#): > > OAN’s Vish Burra, Matt Gaetz’s scriptwriter and handler, has severely crossed the line now There’s still a “line” to cross?
