Larry Summers is "Stepping Back" from Public Life After Epstein Scandal - The Bulwark

[ihaveaquestion]

Nov 17, 2025 Bulwark Takes
JVL and Sam Stein take on Larry Summers’ embarrassing Epstein emails, Summers’ long-running influence in Democratic circles, the fallout inside Harvard and CAP, and the absurdity of a Treasury Secretary asking a convicted predator for dating tips.

1. "Dating Tips" is a nice way of asking for help getting laid.

2. Eww. Just eww.

3. "Deeply ashamed."

From Larry Summers, that’s saying something.

Bill Clinton was going to privatize Social Security until, uh, Fate stopped him.

8. I find it interesting that neither the OP in your link, nor the majority of

the responders, has posted since 2016 or early 2017.

And it seems like both that linked OP, and the majority of the responses to it, are of the "bashing Democrats" variety.

11. It's also interesting how many still are around to bash me.

As for Larry "What Would Goldman Think?" Summers, he deserves it.

I can understand why the rich would want to buy and run the Democratic Party as another arm of Capitalism, Inc. The thing is, they already own a party: The Republicans. Personally, I want them to keep money out of politics, but until that day, I prefer Democrats who not only talk Democratically, they act Democratically.

4. Will he still be available for consulting

should an economically embarassed nation need to be given the ol' shakedown for the benefit of hedge funds?

5. These guys need to consider the fact that he is teaching women in his classes

NO woman. or guy who respects women. should be expected to sit through a class given by a mysogynist. Let alone be evaluated and graded by him.
He needs to be removed from the classroom, yesterday.

10. He should stop wasting oxygen.

12. Then there would be very few professors.

7. i've had issues with summers ever since the clinton admin

i wonder how many of Epstein's clients took advantage of the third way deregulation to take down the global economy in 2008?

9. The misogynist creep should step off a cliff.

13. That is the price he pays for raping trafficked girls?
