And just like that! The news cycle changes

[superpatriotman]

A renewal. New outrage. Out with the old.

El Paso? What’s that? Dayton? Never heard of it.

Angry white boys arrested with weapons of war? What?

Orphaned children? Huh? ICE? Who?

No. The talking head clock has struck midnight. Our short term memory now wiped clean.

Welcome to the 48 hours of Epstein

[groundloop]

1. Yep.... What convenient timing.

[malaise]

3. Isn't that the truth

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. Wait, I thought the ICE raids were meant to distract from policy work the administration is trying

to do. And the policy work distracts from Epstein. Did I have it backwards this entire time???????

[Drunken Irishman]

5. It's DU, where everything is a distraction!

Because there was never ever multiple breaking news stories in a country of 300 million prior to Trump. Everything worked on a perfect delay, allowing for just enough media coverage before a new story neatly broke...

[UniteFightBack]

12. WORD. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. Indeed

Though I'm inclined to grant the last three years have been unusual in the scope and scale of the unrelenting onslaught of major news. It does feel like trying to drink from a fire hose when you aren't even thirsty.

[brush]

29. A trove of Eptein docs was released yesterday with names.

IMO the timing of this alleged suicide is no coincidence.

[pwb]

4. Good one.

.

[LexVegas]

6. The inexorable march of time is a conspiracy!

[Hortensis]

7. THIS. Puerto Rico/USVI did get a full 11+ days before Las Vegas

shootings erased the islands from the map and the sufferings of 3-/2 million people from notice.

[a kennedy]

8. Already sick of his damn ugly mug on EVERY channel........

Done watching tv for the day.

[superpatriotman]

9. Come back Monday

This story will be a footnote by then replaced by a new outrage.

[zackymilly]

36. Probably replaced by another shooting. nt

[Mc Mike]

10. Yeh, but everywhere the camera turns, it captures a backdrop of vistas of smoking wreckage caused by

Rump's leadership and policies.

EVERYwhere.

What possible subject can they bring up that won't arrive in 2 mental steps at the nagging, knawing thought that 'but tRump fucked that up', in any average citizen's mind?

[Paladin]

11. Of the millions of individuals currently behind bars in the U.S....

...nobody was more worthy of minute-by-minute, second-by-second surveillance by prison authorities than Epstein. Somebody has some serious explaining to do.

[New Breed Leader]

13. 48? Try 96.

It's gonna Epstein week all next week.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Joy Reid is covering El Paso and the Mississippi now.

[Chipper Chat]

22. I can just see Joy a few hours ago.

NO I WILL NOT SPEND MY ENTIRE TWO HOURS ON EPSTEIN.!!!!@ (stomps foot so loud that they felt it at CBS down the street)

[brush]

28. The second hour of the show was on Epstein. The first on El Paso and...

the ICE raid in Miss.

Give credit where credit is due. She didn't let the white supremacist killings and the ICE raid with children suddenly orphaned because their parents were taken away be pushed aside by the admittedly loud and shiny new story.

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. is it any surprise that the "appointment" of a reality TV show asshole made every day to come just

another day in his reality TV world?

None of the past three years should be surprising to anyone. He is dragging the world down into his personal depravity.

[efhmc]

16. You are wrong.

No one in the Hispanic community cares about Epstein. Broken hearts and sad spirits will not heal because some scuz bag is out of this world.

[Fla Dem]

17. You forgot the immigrant children housed in cages. Haven't heard about them in the past week or so.

Such old news.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Yup.

Especially because Epstein’s death is pretty irrelevant to the investigation of the coverup.

[LiberalArkie]

19. Will he be rushed out and cremated?

[Javaman]

20. right on the tail of finding out that trump flew on epsteins jet.

funny that.

[ancianita]

21. SO true. Thanks for pointing it all out. Pivoting from Dopey Donnie. Except ...

[elleng]

23. right, the new distraction

[spanone]

24. ...and impeachment is far, far, far away.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Or the decision "not to impeach". If that happens and

Hope like hell it doesn't...we'll have to explain why there wasn't enough evidence!! Why not impeach then ? Same result. But with real Impeachment at least it's all neatly documented for the world to see and in future history books. And repukes as voting..no big deal...he's above the law !!!

[The Liberal Lion]

25. Welcome to the matrix

Which will it be for you dear reader, red pill or blue?
Me? I took the road less traveled.

[superpatriotman]

34. I prefer the straight line

It's the shortest distance between two points in the sunlight.

[brush]

26. So true. And if it gets dicey for trump again new revelations about...

the facilitators/fall guys of the killing will suddenly surface and take over the news.

[calguy]

30. Does anyone remember the Mueller report?

What was THAT all about?

[The Wizard]

31. Dershowitz and Trump can exhale.

[calimary]

32. Mmm-hmmm.

Color me mighty suspicious. Weaponized distraction.

[Little Star]

33. The media can't walk and chew gum at the same time .

[MadDAsHell]

37. Ralph Northam knew that. Trump knows that. That's why these guys rarely resign anymore.

They know they only have to hold out 48-72 hours and we move on to something else.
