This. Groening is mentioned as being asking about in a deposition, on a schedule to meet along with several people in a public place, and introduced as a friend to a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
Epstein was rich and powerful. He knew a lot of famous people. Maybe there's more to come there, but nothing improper has presented on Groening thus far.
It never did, RFK just used his position to supercharge the myth and lower share prices long enough for Kimberly-Clark to acquire Kenvue.
Why would they? It's a win-win. They either get significant tax payer money invested on their behalf, or the oil stays off market keeping their prices high.
Toward the end he was blaming future Biden.
Also midterms are less than a year away and Trump's rock solid 39% won't help many of them if his name isn't on the ticket to drive voters to polls. Picking a couple headline issues like these ensures likely voters see them as mostly Trump, but not crazy because they did x, y, or z that one time.
The best part his he golfs almost exclusively at his own courses. That money goes straight into his own pocket.

Or, easier method. He runs. Democrats sue saying he clearly can't have a third term. SCOTUS declines to take the case because the constitution says he can run, he just can't be elected.
States wait for each other to take him off the ballot, since elections are state run and eventually none of them do because they waited too long and they are super-duper sure he won't win this time.
He wins, Sued again, SCOTUS declines to take the case because he's a sitting president and who are they to mingle in elections "we can't set a precedent of stealing elections from the people's choice" or something of that nature.
Opposition falls in line because, yet again, the majority of Americans decided he and the GOP were the best choice and they'll lose if they fight back. But really, if he wins a third term, GOP owns Congress and there's not a damn thing you can do about it anyway.
Boom, third term for Trump
I have not read Lock-In, but the synopsis sounds similar to Recursion by Blake Crouch
Project Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir has some mystery, at least for a while while the character tries to figure out what's going on.
If you're okay with a horror element, Dead Silence by SA Barnes. Astronauts are trying to figure out what happened on a space ship that seems to drive everyone insane
"Democrats are being callous" against federal workers, they say, as their King fires a third of them and asks if he can NOT pay them when the shutdown ends.
I think this perspective is the real copium. Vance's performance in the VP debate righted the ship for the Trump campaign. Trump's rock-solid 38% will vote for anyone with an R.
Vance lacks the showmanship, but he makes up for it by either pretending his terrible agenda is not true or actually agreeable to the center-right. Most know Trump is crazy. Even his more adoring fans will give him a pass on at least one insane thing if you press them. Think "I wish he didn't post on social media so much, but I love that he speaks his mind"
Two years is more than enough time to get incumbency advantage. He can course correct a couple things in July 2028 and ride that through the debates saying "I'm not trump guys, see, I fixed X and Y!" That gives the 38% the okay to say "yea, he's basically trump still, I didn't actually want X or Y"
As for winning over the rest of the electorate, who cares? Who on the left didn't know what trump was? We all knew. We saw through the Project 2025 lies. It didn't matter. Enough people stayed home because they knew and thought "it won't be that bad" or "he won't win with that baggage"
That's Vance's strength. He doesn't need to win anyone over. All he needs to do is flake off a couple factions by pretending to not be that bad.
