Like OJ, Trump & his capos are determined to hunt down the real perpetrators...the gaslighting & propaganda never stop.

The Epstein hoax that’s not a hoax; photos & video of Trump with Epstein adolescents shouldn’t be released as it’s a distraction from Trump’s accomplishments lowering prices, increasing affordability, stopping wars, feeding the needy & delivering the “best” healthcare?

The Trump regime is plagued by scandal, corruption, chaos, and cruelty.

How could it be a hoax when Trump ordered an investigation or was that to prevent sharing information.

This reminds me of Peter Dale Scott's Deep Politics.

Now the Jews will become the target. The pedophile Jewish cabal of Qanon conspiracy has evidence with Mosad and Epstein.

If Ruth was the President and Nina Burleigh was the Vice-President.

The world would be a better place.

It is clear to me that journalists / podcast hosts like: Amy Goodman, Nermeen Shaikh, Medea Benjamin, Erika Jordan, Glenn Kirschner, Elizabeth G. Oyer, Robert Reich, Heather Cox Richardson, Brian Tyler Cohen, Jamie Raskin, Marc Elias, Joy Reid, Sara El Yafi, Mehdi Hasan, Rachel Maddow, Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Jen Psaki, Katie Phang, Mary Trump, Chris Hayes, Harry Litman, Al Franken, Ben Meiselas, Michael Popok, Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Michael Moore, Leigh Elliott McGowan, Joanne Carducci, Stella Magz, Maggie Haberman, Joyce Vance, Nicolle Wallace, Andrew Weissmann, Lisa Rubin, Ari Melber, Katie Halper, Yalda Hakim, Annie Waldman, Jess GsMom, Jeff Newton, Jack Jones, ... and so many other voices of good conscience that repeatedly warn us of bad characters in politics.

Why in the hell don't people listen to them, and keep on voting for a Russian asset like Trump?

The Trump regime, the MAGA cult, and DOGE have destroyed Democracy in the USA ... the same way Hitler did to Germany.

I hope there is a midterm election in 2026 ...

Ruth,

That was fascinating! Nina was someone who could tie right in with your ideas. Have joined her Substack, too. Thanks for the stimulating subject.

You both are so amazing. Wonderful, informative, brave, smart, necessary. Thank you. I'm going to check out American Freakshow. We need you both. Stay well. Stay safe.

Chilling, in part because what is being revealed is both shocking and predictable. Thank you for this interview and analysis. The Panama Papers, released almost nine years ago now, was mostly a blip on the media radar, but I wonder what that tranche of material can tell us about the Epstein web of crime and deceit.

like Netanyahu after October 7th. He had been warned by his military that Hamas was practicing this attack. Then it took 10 hours for the defenses of Israel to respond.

Wow, what an enlightening discussion. Frightening and encouraging at the same time. Thanks so much to two amazing, intelligent people.

This was so excellent and definitely deserves more attention. Listened to it live and also watched the 3 part documentary called Epstein’s Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell which is well worth watching— especially today. Thank you Nina and Ruth.

Thanks you both, Ruth and Nina for this eye-opening conversation.

I'm curious is you think the Heritage Foundation planned for the fall of trump other than elevating Vance. It seems obvious that Vance doesn't have the 'charisma' trump does to carry the movement forward.

While I think there is very clearly the appetite to do so among the minority of Americans who are fine with favoring a racist, misogynist autocrat, as you say, I'm not sure there's another trump waiting in the wings. Vance isn't that guy, IMO. Who next? Jr. seems to think he's up.

I'm really curious who the architects of Project 25 will push forward. Or is he already there (Russ Vought?), though he doesn't have trump's schtick either.

‘Idiot savant': a somewhat derogatory term for a person who has significant mental impairment, such as autism or retardation, but also exhibits some extraordinary skills. The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.

Mentally retarded? Autistic? Severely dyslexic? Check. Extraordinary skills? Uh, that would be a solid ’no’.

Alcoholism and dementia run in his family; who knows what his mother was drinking when she was pregnant. Or maybe his father kicked her in the stomach.

But donnie is just a violent idiot whose only skill is scaring and hurting people.

This is your time. Go get it. There's a loooooot of people rooting for you two, (and more) but you two particularly.
