You mean the guy who divorced his wife and married his research assistant who was 30 years younger than him was a creep?

I love how one of his tedious go-to topics is "character".

Killing yourself after you have to hang out with David Brooks is a little dramatic but I get it

The photos come after Brooks last month penned an op-ed titled “The Epstein Story? Count Me Out.” in which he critcized House Democrats for releasing information related to the sex offender.

Just too funny

I'm looking forward to Brooks's explanations about his visits to Little Saint James. Maybe he'll say he basically went there to work on his tan.

It's fine, he did that before he understood that other people have internal lives and thoughts (in his fifties or whatever)

A statement from a New York Times spokesperson:

"As a journalist, David Brooks regularly attends secret gatherings where masked figures conduct strange rituals. Mr. Brooks had no contact with the others in that room before or after the event, and has never spoken of what happened in there.”

hopping on the david brooks hate train to report that he wrote this:

The 1990s brought astonishing hip-hop — Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, the Fugees — and I got introduced to all of that like everybody else at the time. My hands were writing and editing conservative editorials for The Wall Street Journal; my ears were straight outta Compton.

who could've guessed all the guys saying look the other way are guilty no way

The only way anyone could reasonably defend Epstein is if you're a pedo and doubly if you're on his list so this feels obvious

Wow it's always the ones you least expect

To join new york crimes one has to, in fact, commit crimes
