    It also depends on who the particular writers were on any given episode. You’ve got some certified cranks like John Swartzwelder, and some people we might think of as decent (for harvard dorks) like Bill Oakley.

    OH, speaking of Epstein what up Matt Groening

      Groening and George Lucas both…

      Gonna toss my tinfoil hat on but this list is straight up fucking sanatised. I sort of wanna make a post about this but others probably came to the same conclusions.

      It’s not a complete list. It has both Clinton and Trump on there at the top and I think it’s just to keep the Dems and Reps fighting over their champs and “well Clinton was there too so take that” type shit. I almost never heard of Alan Dershowits until the day leading up to the release. I think it’s an attempt to throw him under the bus to detract from the rest of the list. It makes sense to throw a few dead people on there since the dead can’t speak so it just create cold trials or whatever.

      But like if this list is this short with some of the big bad rich people, who was cut before it was released? This is an attempt to brush it under the rug like the Panama and Paradise Papers imo. Make it seem like a not so bad thing but still drop a few big names for the public to go mediabrain over.

      Ok, tinfoil hat off. lol

        picks up your tinfoil hat and firmly rests it on head

        Also a problem with Epstein allegations is it’s difficult to know who was enlisting him as a bag man, who was part of his little transhumanist cult, and who were the pedos (of course, there’s overlap between the categories.)

        I would not be surprised if they run through the list of names and gosh golly it seems a disproportionate amount end up neatly falling into the first two categories after cursory examination.

          I’m absolutely curious to see where this goes but damn it if the real story wouldn’t make for some juicy lib drama. Like I almost wanna say this is the threshold of what the rightoids keep calling “the cabal” but it’s right in front of their face and they are still clutching pearls over pizza restaurants instead.

          Actually curious to see what both Dem and Rep spins on this are gonna be. I mean outside of pointing their fingers at Clinton and Trump arguing over who was worse.
