The distractions from Epstein seem to be coming fast and furious. . .

Paul Krugman
Washington DC
Rosie O'Donnell
Obama investigation
ICE Raids
What other ones am I forgetting?

1. Other things that happen aren't necessarily distractions; they are also bad things

that happen simultaneously and can't be ignored. So we have to be able to pay attention to more than one thing at a time. The militarization of DC is a bad thing that deserves attention. ICE raids are a bad thing that deserve attention. They are not distractions unless we allow them to become distractions; they need to be dealt with as the bad actions they are.

3. They are still distractions.

Robert Garcia sent a stern letter to the head of the federal Bureau of prisons asking who allowed Maxwell to be transferred to minimum security prison. How long should he wait for a response?

100 dollars to the charity of your choice if you can name one other sex offender who served time in Bryan.

You are a legal expert, I appreciate that here. What are the circumstances under which Maxwell was granted a waiver? Just saying a waiver was granted doesn't cut it.

Seems to me something is distracting the reasons for the transfer.

2. I see it all as one steady stream

that started on January 20th of this year. Trump has tried to overwhelm the news media from day one of his second term, and Epstein is just a speed bump to him.

4. GolfGate (R)

That's when the republicon leader deliberately, glaringly, and dishonestly cheats at golf twice in a week, and the press snoozes and excuses -- thereby demonstrating their own moral degeneration and incompetence.

5. I would characterize them as ATTEMPTS to distract rather than distractions

Because for me at least, every time he announces his latest, my first thought is today's version of squirrel...

EPSTEIN!
