Gender, misogyny, and societal change

In this week's bonus show, we break down the absolutely chilling congressional hearing where North Korean newscaster Pam Bondi shilled for an elite pedophile network. Under oath in Congress, Bondi dangled Wall Street profits as a bribe to look the other way on child trafficking.

This rot goes deeper than Trump or Epstein. We are now living through the "Great Disillusionment," the moment we realize the "polite" elites are complicit and no one is coming to save us but ourselves.

The only justice that has been achieved for Epstein's victims was because they, their advocates, a free press, and the people united to demand it. We the People forced the Epstein files to be released. This is just the beginning–the criminals can no longer hide in the dark. To hear our breakdown of the Epstein files with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman on how to fight back, support independent journalism and subscribe. We are the light that will drive out their darkness, and we are going to get through this together.

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog." https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3melv5enofu2k

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did." https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3melykectvi2g

Karl Bode: "Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground" https://bsky.app/profile/karlbode.com/post/3mely4yvhis23

RASKIN: Will you create a joint task force of the DOJ and state officials and district attorneys to investigate the crimes that have taken place against these victims are more than 1,000 like them? BONDI: *arms folded* … https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3melz5te6pb2y

Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3memakzpxvm2d

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about." https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3melualitx22u

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other. https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3meltxcc4652h
