2. I agree regarding the importance of the Epstein scandal. However I don't believe growing fascism to be a "distraction,"

whether it's the current administration weaponizing the justice department and going after their political enemies, the increasing militarization of civilian life or the elimination of "due process."

When *rump was convicted of his felonies in court they bent over backward to give him due process.

I remember one analysis that said *rump came to power again because people voted out of anger instead of hope. Now *rump and his GOP comrades are trying to shift the primary emotion away from anger to fear, and I believe the only counter to that is for all the American People across the political spectrum; whether conservative, moderate, liberal or progressive to unite against a growing fascist threat to the nation.

I also believe that the corporate media is quiet capable of covering more than one story at a time if they choose to do so.
