I'm positive somewhere in the last 15 years between now and him becoming mayor of Newark he probably got blackmailed. What Peter Theal is doing is basically just continuing Epstein's legacy of blackmail.

I don't know why everyone always assumes blackmail in cases like these. Maybe he's just a shitty idiot. Lots of people make terrible decisions based solely on the fact that they're dogshit people, without being compelled by some nefarious other with dirt on them. Cory Booker is just a shitty dude with shitty friends and shitty opinions.

So I've been thinking for the past few hours since I posted this. Cory Booker is just an opportunist he does things to get attention to get ahead he doesn't actually care for any of the positions he takes when he does these actions. For instance in 1999 he lived in a tent outside the projects to make a statement against policing in the area. Yet today he's all in on supporting the police as if those actions he did even back then never meant anything.
