Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

It's a lot more than Epstein. The whole conspiracy fueled/anti interventionist part of the right wing (sometimes called the "woke right") has lost influence within the Trump admin post Iran strikes and post Gaza ceasefire. Loomer, MTG, Gabbard, Carlson, etc lost out big time. The death of Kirk has made the rift worse. Hegseth seems to be the only one that's come out of it ok as they let him play the big general role, at one point I really thought he'd be fired. Vance just says whatever, guy seems to have zero principals. The neocon wing of the administration seems to have won for now in this environment, guys like Rubio, Caine.
Tucker Carlson is doing shows about chemtrails and interviewing actual antisemites, Loomer is having a full on crash out about Al Jolani visiting the White House, MTG is MTG, Gabbard is missing in action. All of these figures grifted big over Iran and Gaza (let's be honest they have no humanitarian concerns), talking about how the US is getting into a forever war or starting WW3 for Israel, and now with that "over", the grift is up for these people. None of what they said would happen, materialised. So they're trying to move onto the next thing so they don't look like fools. Epstein is convenient here. Again, I doubt the concern these people have for Epstein's victims.
Meanwhile Rubio and Caine are running the show with regards to Venezuela, Trump got his "deal" with China, etc. Trump attacking MTG here is trying to pick off the easiest target on the conspiracy fueled right. Remember, this is the woman who unironically believes in Jewish space lasers and the government controlling the weather. If it's succesful and MTG is picked off, I wonder who's next?
The neocons will always win long-term, it's the actual ideology of Amerikkkan government, including the Demokkkrats when you strip away all the pretending they do.
More actionable threats are needed smh
i mean this skirmish is likely over h1b, lmao.
