We already know that many Democrats and many Republicans, household names, are in the Epstein files.

We also know that none of them have ever paid any price for the horrible things they’ve done, and almost surely never will. That even if there are token attempts at prosecutions or shaming, that too will change nothing about how this sick world routinely works–how in some sense every one of us counts on it working.

Getting all wound up about the optics, either way, is a lot like rooting for one team to win a football game.

A pleasant distraction that means so little to reality that it might as well not matter at all.

All that said: Go Team Massie.
