Tim argues that people selectively caring about Trump's child cage policy while ignoring similar issues under Obama is hypocritical, and predicts the Epstein news cycle will only end when the 'resistance' side gets tired of talking about it.
- Obama deported more people than Trump, and there were also children in cages, though it wasn't policy to separate parents from kids.
- Comparing the two approaches is like comparing different concentration camps and pretending one isn't bad because the other is worse.
- Tim's frustration: people didn't care about deportations under Obama but now demand a moral distinction between Trump and Democrats to avoid common ground with Republicans.
- The resistance narrative won't end until people on that side get tired of making excuses and realize they've been doing this for years.
- It's like drug addiction—eventually people either die or reach a point where they say they just don't want to do this anymore.
- Tim read what seemed like a reasonable article about recent political coverage but doesn't understand why people are still angry about it.
