I really, really hope that one of the reasons of the staged showdown between Trump and Zelensky is not the decision never to produce the Epstein files.

Everybody is currently completely distracted with a nothing-burger scene regarding an imaginary “deal” over utterly fantastical “rare minerals.” Honestly, I’d like to just hear whatever the truth is. If there are no files, if they can’t be revealed because they will embarrass too many people, if they are unprosecutable, whatever, but it’s time to know.

Does anybody even care anymore or am I the only idiot who does?

    Embarrassment is not the problem.

    You never did answer the question: If one has to choose between the paper-citizenship country and one’s homeland, which myst you choose?

    It’s a rotten question.

    It’s a rotten world.

    But you might need to figure it out.

          That reads as an accusation. It isn’t. You assent to the pledge. You have not assented to the choice: Ruth’s choice.

          You cannot even imagine loyalty to Illinois.

            At this point, I have to ask. Are you drinking? Or on mood-altering medication of some kind? I have no idea what any of your comments mean. They are garbled and weird.

            Who’s Ruth? What “reads as an accusation”? What is “loyalty to Illinois”? None of this makes any sense.

            Maybe you need to step back and just rest for a bit.

              The classic Jewish example of virtuous national loyalty shift is Ruth.

              I took Illinois to be your home state. Please insert your actual state into the comment.

              Have you any loyalty to that State? Has the idea that you ought to crossed your mind? If yes, you are on your way to following in Ruth’s very hard footsteps.

    Is there anyone who seriously thinks that Epstein wasn’t an Israeli asset?

      Somebody was running him.

      Jews are awash in cultural capital, and the Israeli fedgov apparat is notoriously capable and loyal to Israel’s national interest.

      Unlike the U.S.’s.

      Cui bono?
