It’s disappointing that with everything going on, the entire episode was only about CK. His murder was a vile and visceral thing that shouldn’t have happened, but the fawning over a man who spent his life belittling minorities of all stripes, defending slavery, saying that a ten year old rape victim has no right to an abortion, and encouraging the rise of fascism in this country ain’t it.

Regarding the Epstein birthday book pages BP covered yesterday. Has anyone else heard about most of them only through Breaking Points? Seems inexplicable to me because it's not like Saagar had a secret source.
