Anyone breathing a sigh of relief that Epstein died should inhale deeply and keep worrying

Epstein dying only means he won't be tried and convicted if a crime. But the evidence is the evidence, there are too many witnesses (many of whom may be more likely to talk now that Epstein is longer a perceived threat), reams of documents are in the possession of the courts and Epstein's estate will surely be sued out the wazzoo.

This isn't going away. Anyone who was terrified about this whole Epstein was alive should be just as frightened now.

As Atticus Finch said about the rabid dog he killed "That dog is just as dangerous dead as alive."

I think Trump and the Republicans want to run against Biden

They think he's got baggage they can exploit, he's easily rattled, too "old-school" and would be easier to beat than some of the other less-predictable candidates.

I think they're wrong - Biden would be a much stronger candidate than they assume. And, as we've seen, it's a serious mistake to hope and pray for a particular candidate in certainty that they would be easier to beat. That's one of the reasons we have Trump as many Democrats thought it would be great to have him as the Republican nominee and didn't take him seriously as an opponent until it was much too late. Trump is likely seriously underestimating Biden.

But, that said, by all indications, Trump and his people are really hoping that they'll end up going against Biden because they think Trump can eat his lunch.

It would be really nice if people researched what their own candidate has said or not said

about a topic before criticizing other candidates for saying or not saying the same thing.

I'm feeling a shift

It's subtle but I definitely feel a difference in coverage and reaction to Trump's behavior in the past couple of weeks.

Starting with Mueller's testimony two weeks ago (can you believe it was just two weeks ago?), followed by Trump's increasingly blatantly racist comments, the tragic shootings, yesterday's farce of his visits to Dayton and El Paso, and complete silence, ducking and defections by Republicans, it's clear that Trump is no longer being given the benefit of the doubt by the media and public and he's now being treated like the dangerous pariah he is.

This week, for the first time in a long while, I'm starting to feel like he may not survive this politically.

Great news for white people who keep saying immigrants are taking their jobs!

Cory Booker and Joe Biden gave excellent speeches today

I'm proud of both of them!

And proud to be a Democrat.
