[choie]

1. See ya

They can have you, Epstein lover!

[Kid Berwyn]

2. Epstein would approve

S’long, phony.

[dem4decades]

3. Do only Republicans get pardons? Asking for a friend.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Dude, you've *been* a Republican for more than a decade, but

being a lazy ass, you never switched parties.

I've listened to your "contributions" and interviews on NYC's RW radio station, WABC, with Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby. You didn't even try to hide your proclivities towards Trump, pulling away from The Constitution, and denying your personal foibles.

A lot of us are not surprised except for maybe not being more forthcoming.

[Blue Full Moon]

9. 100%

[Hey Joe]

22. I thought he was a Repug !

Never sounded like anything more than one.
Fuck him

[no_hypocrisy]

34. Perhaps in an earlier incantation. After all, Reagan too was once a Democrat.

But then again, that's when Democrats were also Southern racists . . . . .

[brakester]

52. He takes the cake on

"Total lack of self-awareness!"
This sheds light on his (Shock, I tell ya!) that his Dem neighbors are shunning him!

[Zambero]

5. This confirms it once and for all

Dershowitz is indeed a RINA.
Republican In name, ALWAYS.

[wnylib]

48. Except that today, Republican means fascist.

So he is openly announcing his support for fascism.

[Emile]

6. I always thought he was a republican.

[MustLoveBeagles]

61. Right?

I don't know why he thinks this is a news flash.

[CrispyQ]

7. This is satire, right?

I seriously thought it was, when I clicked.

[J_William_Ryan]

8. "Why I'm Becoming a Republican"

Because he’s a liar, like other Republicans.

[UpInArms]

10. Hey Pedo!

Don’t let the door hit ya!

[everyonematters]

11. ,and Trump is blackmailing me.

[hlthe2b]

12. No, Dersch... That's not hostility to Israel. You are mistaking hostility to YOU personally...

and when the hell were you EVER an actual Democrat? Still butt-hurt that the Martha's Vineyard crowd want nothing to do with you? -- Even after a decade (or more) of showing why NO ONE should want anything to do with you?

Yeah, DO take it personally because it has nothing to do with your immutable features including race, religion, ethnicity. It has only to do with YOU, Dershowitz.

[Goonch]

13. ;-{) STARSTRUCK

[spanone]

14. Bwahahahaaa who on earth cares?

[Solly Mack]

15. Did he keep his underwear on while writing that?

[FadedMullet]

84. Five Star Snark.

[Solly Mack]

87. He makes it easy.

[Emile]

16. Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer is becoming a republican,

LOL

[Johonny]

17. He fucked children and the GOP is good with that

There now you dont need to read this child fuckers excuses for why he sold his soul.

[durablend]

25. Yup, going where he's welcomed and not vilified

[whathehell]

36. Well..

To be fair, I don't believe there's evidence that he " fucked children"...He was on his legal team, which I think was enough to turn people against him.

[travelingthrulife]

55. Why would you believe that? He had young girls massage his privates but thought it was fine because he supposedly had

his underwear on.

[whathehell]

85. I didn't say what I believed, I said there

was "no evidence" and afaik, there's no evidence of his having "young girls massage his privates" either.
According to Dershowitz, he received a massage from "an old Russian woman" and kept his underwear on throughout.
It may be bullshit, but there's no certainty without evidence.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

18. The truth is, he's becoming a Republican because he has the taste of blood in his mouth.

[Renew Deal]

19. Because he's chasing a pardon

[Ritabert]

20. Does anybody care?

[get the red out]

21. Exactly

He is a despicable and disgusting person, the R party is exactly where he belongs. What took him so long!

[Wednesdays]

24. ONE person, possibly.

The one Dershowitz needs a pardon from.

[Greybnk48]

23. Such hysteria, Alan. Just keep your pants on! n/t

[Bristlecone]

26. F him, right in the ear.

[FalloutShelter]

27. Go. Away. Alan!

[malaise]

28. Who effin cares you creep n/t

[johnnyfins]

29. Still can't have a pierogi.

Wah, wah, wah.

Irrelevant pedo says what?

[C_U_L8R]

30. Oh, the butthurt.

Still can’t get a dinner reservation in Edgartown, eh Dersh?

[Midnight Writer]

31. I see he just wrote a book outlining "legal" schemes that would keep Trump in office after 2029.

Some Democrat.

Democrat is not just something you check on a form. It is a state of mind, a philosophy of standing together to help each other, a belief that government can make life better for its citizens.

[agingdem]

32. You'll be missed ..no one said ever!

[themaguffin]

33. Alan Dershowitz: "Democrats hate that I F children so I'm throwing a tantrum"

[Omnipresent]

35. He could be a friend in disguise.

Maybe he’s trying to persuade a few repubs to leave that party. Allan might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. Who cares?

Why should anyone care what this embarrassment to the legal profession thinks?

[NNadir]

38. Epstein.

[OLDMDDEM]

39. I thought you were a repug. The Dems do not approve of attorneys who abuse young girls. Re. Epstein.

[SergeStorms]

41. Well.....

Bye.

I'd thought you were a Trump-sucking "republican" all along, Alan.

[orangecrush]

42. Bye bye

[ashredux]

43. So, he kept his underwear on...and now he is a republican!

LOL…LOL

Well, that fits, he likes those very, very young girls, just like the president

[surfered]

44. Hmmm....Switching to the Pedophile Party.

[LymphocyteLover]

59. Well, he is one!

[Rebl2]

45. I thought

he was already a republican.

[orleans]

81. i did too. for years. nt

[1WorldHope]

46. The party of legal pedophilia!

[lastlib]

47. So THAT's what that gurgling noise was!

I thought my toilet was overflowing--hard to tell the difference.

[stopdiggin]

49. The reaction(s) here - by and large what might be expected - and DESERVED.

Miserable, creepy old crank .... Kind of an overall sh*t, in a lot of estimations ... (and that's more or less been the story for - a long, long time .. )

[patphil]

50. I'll file this news in the "don't give a shit" bin.

There was a time when I supported Israel, but they cured me by being so incredibly brutal in their actions.
I don't consider myself hostile toward Israel, I've just come to the conclusion that they aren't deserving of my support.
They've become a terrorist state.

[MuirHero]

51. Fuck that pedo scumbag

[Historic NY]

53. Doucheowitz is in the Epstein files

[travelingthrulife]

54. Also, Trump-Epstein has photos of me boinking young girls with my underwear off.

this guy is a;ways on the wrong side of history.

[YodaMom2]

56. Quelle surprise...not.

Once again proving immutable the law that posits that everything seeks its own level.

[Doodley]

57. It's obvious why. He wants cover from the Epstein files.

[TBF]

58. lol - he's got an Epstein problem & wants a pardon. nt

[cab67]

60. He's a contrarian.

I've seen such people in academia - they figure out what the consensus is on an issue, and then take the opposite view for attention. Money is sometimes involved, but it doesn't have to be.

(This is different from crackpottery. Crackpots believe what they say. Contrarians might not.)

I thus expect him to start saying things that run counter to Republican orthodoxy. It's in his nature to do so.

[usonian]

62. Alan Dershowitz: Why I'm becoming Ron Silver.

Looks better.
Smarter
Hasn't destroyed his own reputation
Not in Epstein Files
Not up Trump's ass

[eppur_se_muova]

63. Well, no one's said "bye Felicia !" yet, so I'll say it ... Bye, Felicia ! nt

[ChicagoTeamster]

64. Because they're protecting you from the Epstein files

[Joinfortmill]

65. Good riddance

[City Lights]

66. "becoming." LOLOLOLOL.

Don't let the door hit you in your undies, Alan. Good riddance to toxic rubbish.

[Vinca]

67. I had no idea he was still tainting the Democratic Party. He should have left long, long ago.

[not fooled]

68. Wait, what?

Echoing everyone else...he wasn't already?

Waaahhhhh whiny baby wants someone to appreciate him for the legal genius he is and not say mean Epstein things about him.

[SamKnause]

69. Nobody cares you piece of trash.

Nobody cares about you.

Nobody cares what you are doing.

You think you are important, you are not.

Nobody cares that you officially switched parties.

[MIButterfly]

70. Isn't he the guy who threatened to sue a vendor on Martha's Vineyard a few years back

because the vendor refused to serve him pierogi?

I guess that didn't get him enough attention, so now he has to say he's becoming a Republican which I thought he always was (that is, if I ever have thought of him, which I haven't).

He's just another has-been trying to be relevant as he fades off into obscurity, as far as I'm concerned.

[Kali]

71. ...

[lame54]

72. Take Fetterman with you

[Sogo]

73. Who cares?

Besides, we KNOW the real reason is that you need cover for your Epstein involvement.

[pwb]

74. They lost me at Gazza.

Sorry.

[republianmushroom]

75. Damn, thank God and grayhound your gone.

[regnaD kciN]

76. "...because ALL the best pedophiles are!"

[pat_k]

77. Christ, he's been a right-wingnut hack for ages

His 2006 apologia for torture jumps to mind, among many, many other "analyses" that endorse immoral and intolerable positions.

https://hls.harvard.edu/today/an-op-ed-by-professor-alan-dershowitz-warming-up-to-torture/

[struggle4progress]

78. "I wasn't with the Epstein girls for very long so stop saying that!"

[The Wizard]

79. Because Repubics defend pedophiles .

From the guy who got a massage from a teenager. He did say he didn't remove his underwear. Maybe he thinks this will get him a pardon. Every time he steps into a court room it's legal malpractice.

[Blue Full Moon]

80. He needs to be sued by the Epstein survivors

Just like Wexner, Black and the rest.

[fujiyamasan]

82. Phew. Well that's a relief; I'd rather ass holes like him try pissing from the outside

This party is a big tent, but not that big.

There you go Guardians of Pedophiles! You got another one!

[Cha]

83. Nope you fucking idiot.. you're a

Nazi.

[Susan Calvin]

86. I'm not anti Israel, I'm anti the Israeli government

Same deal as here.
