28. I wish we still lived in a society that could understand more than one news story at a time!

The dumbing down is complete. I realize that. But I remember a time when more than one thing was news, concentrated on, voted on, and talked about.

I don't want the Epstein issue to go away because it will be something that the crazy Evangelicals can be called on. They won't admit that their hero-worshipped idiot did anything wrong, of course, but it's still something I am going to bring up to every one of them when they start in on Biden and Hillary and Obama.

If there are Democrats on the list and proven to be a part of this crap, then they will have to take their lumps just like Trump. I'm not sure yet that "being on the list" equates with being guilty of what we all know that Trump is guilty of doing. So, I'll reserve judgment on that until more is known.
