full disclosure: I'm pretty sure I lifted "this guy’s uncle is a toaster, and the government has files that prove this but refuses to release them" from a Mark Alan Stamaty comic that appeared in the Village Voice about 40 years ago, but google found no evidence of this
That's funny--there was a guy I liked in college who was friends with me but dating a girl who was really stupid, and my friend and I called her Toaster because she was dumber than an unplugged toaster, and I really can't remember why that was the appliance we chose.
What is not funny, is that men in the US date women that they can disparage like that. If he thought she was dumb, what was he doing dating her. He is the loser.
Not clear which friend called her that, a different friend, or the boyfriend that she was also friends with. If you are correct than I retract what I am saying. It rang a bell though.
Very accurate description of the guy in the park. I know since I represent individuals who are subject to conservatorships based on 'grave disability'. I'm pretty sure I represented this park guy. He was friends with the man who was traveling to Mars on a stream of urine, and the man who pulled out all his hair to plant it creating GOLD. By the way, could it be that DJT has embraced this planting hair theory? I mean, he has almost no hair and a total fetish for gold...just saying.
Maybe your great line was placed on a Pop Tart by agents Scully and Mulder, written in special Pop Tart ink that gets revealed only when heated perfectly on setting #3 and visible for just ten seconds as it pops out of your toaster, so you made the perfect and timely choice for breakfast today!
On of my book clubs chose a book about Trump, and while it is not textually difficult, it is difficult for me to read because I hate learning this much about Trump. Don't know whether I will continue it. I feel tainted.
Linda, pre-Jeff, I followed (still do occasionally) Mary Trump (his niece) and good friend of E Jean Carroll. They both tell the absolute truth about this vile POS. Mary grew up with her cousins (his oldest three). She’s related sufficient facts TO fill several books - and besides her truths I’ve known so much about how vile he is through my own observances over the years, having grown up in Brooklyn and Queens after arriving here. I wanted to know more about my new Country so read everything, including the daily Newspapers from cover to cover. It became obvious (to me, even then) that he had an insatiable need for notoriety and headlines. Cindy Adams and Steve Dunleavy of the NYPost played into it by giving him every opportunity to ‘sell’ his bullshit. When I began reading Mary’s accounts about growing up ‘trump’ she only confirmed what I already knew. I wouldn’t put myself through the ‘taint’ of reading any book which tries to clean him up (if that’s what the one you’re reading does). Mary’s story of him being laughed at by his family after having a bowl of mashed potatoes dumped on his head by his older brother because he was nonstop tormenting his even younger brother and refused to stop became a lifelong grudge for him. He’s STILL seeking revenge for that perceived ‘insult’. What a whiny child. Now our entire Country (indeed, the World) is suffering because he’s a sociopath.
I know it's VERY late but I heard this from a fantastically lovely woman who dissects donny on instagram. Christina - something (I'll look up her actual handle when my phone's fully charged later. She talks into the camera with the most delightful 'Julia Sugarbaker' Southern accent which makes even 'fuck' sound quite lovely. She just happened to post about what's going on with Ghislaine Maxwell WHOSE hearing in front of Scotus is occurring July 14 - tomorrow! (oops, today). I had no idea. Frump wanted her pardoned or released (can't remember which). I'll have to play back her mention of it again. It's too interesting, occurring right at this time, no?
Indeed. Back then, when some of us were reading the Voice, it's possible a memory neuron or two was replaced by delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Just sayin'.
Speaking of names that may or may not be on a list that may or may not exist: Someone was Florida AG during the prime Epstein sex-trafficking years, and her name rhymes with Blondie. There are reports of MAGAites burning their red hats. The Streisand Effect never worked better and schadenfreude never tasted so good.
Did you see Dershowitz saying I know all the names? Can't speak 'em cuz client privilege and judge's orders. A steak sandwich and a fifth of Jack would probably do the trick.
Yeah, and that's a lie. If he did know (and how?) he could have said, because I can't imagine a "privilege" in the law that would prevent him. He says the judge (WHO?) and privilege keeps him from revealing, but there's nothing I can think of that would support such a thing.
It was Alexander Acosta, who was awarded with the position of Labor Secretary by Donald Trump in his first term. Democrats wanted him to resign because of the way he handled the Epstein sex trafficking case in 2008.
I'm pretty sure we can take the truth. (Sorry for Hillary and Chelsea but they've survived scandal and betrayal before. They would have lots of support.)
If the E-mail lady is clever and diabolical enough to come up with the Epstein list (and even put Bill's name on there to hide her tracks or exact revenge) she's not clever and diabolical enough to keep a copy, and release it or drip it out when it serves her purposes?
Thank you. I’d forgotten about some of this. I hate at the end how Trump said he felt very badly for Acosta. Trump was and still is a despicable POS who no doubt was thrilled with the outcome of that Epstein trial, since he was one of those pedophiles who a abused those young girls.
I love the MAGA comments you included. If these are the rule and not the exception, Trump is going to have some work on his hands getting them distracted. Let us hope we are not the victims of that.
The more you try and bury something the more it gets publicity. Based on a Barbra Streisand wedding that refused access to the press as I understand it.
FWIW, it's from a time that she sent a cease and desist to a photographer because they posted a picture of her house online — only the photographer was just someone documenting coastal erosion and no one even knew it was her house until she demanded it be taken down. Thus, the Streisand effect was coined because in doing so, she generated much more attention about it than if she had done nothing.
This is my favorite part that illustrates the meaning: the picture "had been downloaded only six times prior to Streisand's lawsuit, two of those being by Streisand's attorneys; public awareness of the case led to more than 420,000 people visiting the site over the following month."
Scam Blondi! Also: Bill Barr is deeply involved with Epstein and the cover up. And SCOTUS is about to get Maxwell's appeal from her criminal conviction.
Epstein files must have real bad trump vignettes. The guy who bragged about shooting someone on 5th avenue in nyc and getting away with it, who skated on an insurrection, who wasn’t affected by grab em by the pussy idiocy doesn’t want us to see what’s in there, whoa Nellie it must be bad, probably criminal. But his moronic cult can be talked out of anything. So it must be real bad. And those tools bondi and krazy eyes don’t resign?
The evidence of Trump’s relationship with Epstein is too well-documented, too public, and too repeated to be unknown to his most vocal supporters, especially the conspiracy-obsessed ones. It’s not that they don’t know, they refuse to integrate what that knowledge means. They’ve wrapped their identities in the myth of Donald as the hero waging war against a corrupt elite. Thus allowing them to dissociate and ignore that their hero is the rot at the top. Instead they erase him from the conversation about Epstein. The fact that Trump is likely the central figure of any credible list is so threatening to their twisted worldview that they’d rather deny his obvious relationship with Epstein, burn down truth itself, and rewrite reality altogether.
The biggest outrage for MAGA loyalists isn’t human suffering, injustice, or authoritarian overreach. It’s that the Justice Department said Epstein didn’t keep an “incriminating client list.” That’s what sends them into a false frenzy. Not people dying, people being torn away from their home, children in cages, not legal chaos. Just the Epstein list, one that would almost certainly include Trump. It’s a case study in moral collapse and performative outrage while REAL human harm goes ignored.
They're delusional. I don't understand it or pretend to. They like living in their carefully constructed bubbles of nonsense. I had a friend who went down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory of the stolen election. I kicked her to the curb in 2021. This woman has a masters degree in education and taught special ed before retiring.
I agree. Why a majority of rural, Evangelical Christians and less educated working people would support- adore- a guy who grew up rich and distainful of anyone not super rich and elite, is beyond me. Is it because he was on TV and his public relations team built this phoney image of a regular guy?
Keep in mind, he also said in his post, "We are the PERFECT administration, the TALK OF THE WORLD". You bet we are, but you could probably change "TALK" to "LAUGHINGSTOCK" of the world and be more accurate. The Profumo scandal had nothing on t. G7 will probably throw us out for moral inturpitude, and I hate to think of the jokes Xi and p are making. He made this bed, let him lie in it. Let me edit this. What can the Nobel Peace Prize Committee be thinking? And to think, they probably already tossed out the letter from Netanyahu, a known committer of genocide.
That's so wacky to me--none of his MAGA people would even CARE if he were in the Epstein files, as they know he must be in at least some way. They already know. Why would they be afraid of disclosing that? MAGA people will just be like, "he's a spy! He's trying to save children! Hoax by Hilary!"
But NOT showing whatever is flipping out the MAGAs and it makes me laugh.
By not showing the files, it lets their conspiracy theories run wild. You're right-just revealing the facts, even if they are enormously damning of drumpf, would not bother his zombies as much as not knowing for sure
I agree. The Epstein files have been known for years. MAGA folks wouldn't care if he had sex with 12 year olds because treating women with disrespect for being women is part of their code. If a 12 year old is doing older guys in their penthouse it's because they're whores and what do you expect real men to do but have sex with them. I know everyone thinks MAGA are the moral majority, but they are far from it.
Since the most corrupt presidential fixer AG, Bill Barr had all the evidence, as Trumps AG at the time of the Epstein investigation, it won’t likely ever see the light of day!!
I do agree Barr got in so deep he wanted out and was going out anyway. I think he didn’t want to end it all in the sewer so quit playing with evil magats. Way too little and way too late but he pulled the plug clearly. It seemed to happen over night something happened I think the election was it.
There are plausible accusations of forcible rape of at least one young teen by both trump and epstein. These women would need witness protection if they testify, but how cool would it be?
Sadly his supporters won't care. The trampy girls were lying, his jealous friends were lying, he did it but only because the girls were lying, he did it because he's a macho man and the girls loved him. The 20% of the die-hard Christian MAGA are brainwashed and totally invested in their phoney image of his greatness.
Jeff always comes up with the perfect descriptions. “Inept fucktangle of shitwesels” is such a perfect description of Combover Caligula’s regime of destruction.
💥💥💥 The New York Times has committed a journalism !!! 🧨🧨🧨
New York Times editorial gathers devastating condemnations of the Trump administration by 48 federal judges. Be sure to read the last three paragraphs, “What Happens Next,” for discussion of what SCOTUS may do with these issues.
Unfortunately, the AP took a different approach. There was an article yesterday that I couldn't read and barely got past the headline. It stated the most ridiculous pile of horseshit by saying Trump's a changed man according to some in his inner circle. WTF AP. If anything, the perverted delirious asshole has obviously changed for the worse. That rant of insanity that he couldn't ever write on his own further emphasizes his guilt on all accounts.
Yeah he's changed. He has descended into senility and the AP and Trump's handlers and the uber rich oligarchs are propping him up. Its the biggest heist ever.
It kills me that this would be AP, but that is the kind of unethical reporting we see now. What bearing does what his inner circle says have on anything? How about expert opinion with trustworthy credentials or people with first-hand experience in these crimes? People that commit crimes as he does do not change & it's highly unethical & irresponsible to support that idea. They could present the question, do people change in these circumstances? And, the knowledgeable answer, along with with the evidence as you point out, is NO.
Thanks for the link! Finally some clear headed thinking in NYT.
"The bipartisan alarm from federal judges offers a roadmap for others to respond to Mr. Trump’s often illegal behavior. His actions deserve to be called out in plain language for what they really are. And people in positions of influence should do what they can to stand up for American values, as many judges have done."
"roadmap for others to respond"
"actions deserve to be called out in plain language"
How about the Opposition Party? How about the ethical GOP? Ethical Republicans and Democrats are sitting on their hands. Gazing at their navels. While psychopaths-Miller and Trump-are harming people. We have given them the power (using our taxpayer $Billions) to hunt down, attack, kidnap and imprison brown people. This must stop now.
DNC: Just tell the Truth about the Trump Family Mafia. Take action. Organize blockades of the concentration camps. Block the masked ICE thugs. Protect the innocent. Attack the evil and shut it down! Shame the press for their cowardice. Do the right thing. Do your job or get out of the way.
One of my favorites from the article (and thank you for the link, Kathleen!):
Patrick J. Schiltz, District of Minnesota
Appointed by George W. Bush
On the revocation of a student’s visa:
“The court cannot imagine how the public interest might be served by permitting federal officials to flaunt the very laws that they have sworn to enforce.”
Thank you so much for the guest link! It was a great article well-worth sharing just to remind people that all courts haven’t yet gone to Hell in a hand basket.
Yes, it is. We must be cautious. The next few days will be a hailstorm of feces thrown at us from the WH to deflect. They desperately want to change the narrative. The mad king is melting down.
No way in hell Loser POSUS Trump wrote that "UNTRUTH" post. He may have whined something similar incoherently to … Bondi?
I think those files went into Trump's safe. He can use them to blackmail MANY people around the world. Epstein's work of amassing compromising evidence on people in power for Israeli Intelligence will be put to further nefarious use. Trump learned the art of sleaze from his mentor Roy Cohn
He’s fucking you MAGA, and us as well. A lot of the evidence is circling the independent media sites in plain view. Do your own research. Don’t just take Fox’s word for things. What you will realize if you pursue the facts with a mind open to different views other than the propaganda being force fed to you, is that DJT is THE DEEP STATE AND A PEDOPHILE.
You may also realize that none of the accomplishments Trump (or Bondi) are bragging about are reality. The American public, both Liberals and Conservatives, are being played for suckers by the current Republican regime. They need us to hate each other. They need us to focus on manufactured crisis and emergencies, to distract us all from being robbed blind and being betrayed to our factual enemies. FUX SKEWS THE NEW - WE ALL LOSE.
The battle underway should be between all of us and the billionaire cabal that wants it all for themselves. They will forgive trump for any despicable sin or failure, as long as he acts in their interests first. They want us all under their repressive thumb enslaved for their enrichment.
You have a choice to make. Will you be duped and support this traitorous regime, or will you defend a free and diverse America? If you choose to stand behind the criminal Trump and his Palantir sponsored VP Vance, you can rest assured that eventually they reward your misguided loyalty by sacrificing and discarding you. If the ultra rich succeed, they won’t want to tarnish their reputation by associating with us common folk. To them, we are all the marks, the suckers and the vermin.
I think the "Thank you for your attention to this matter" that he has latched onto and can't stop repeating is hilarious. It reminds me of how you'd end a letter to your city councilman reminding him that nothing has been done yet about the missing manhole cover in front of your house.
The shithead seems to think ending every bleat with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" is authoritative, like a directive. Someone posted elsewhere it's like having John Gotti, American Mafioso, as president.
Trump is desperately looking for anything that will distract his mouthbreathers from the Epstein scandal. Watch for him to gin up a "crisis" and try to invoke the Insurrection Act. He is losing control and he knows it.
His threat to impose a 30% tariff on Canada and Mexico was his immediate move, but Wall Street is calling his bluff -- they gave us the nickname "TACO," after all -- and expect him to chicken out. He's running out of legal weapons.
Oh, Dear God! I certainly hope he doesn't decide to bomb another sovereign country and certainly not Canada. Who will he choose? Who? Maybe he will bomb Ukraine for Putin, although that love fest seems to have cooled for the moment. He is insane and he is cornered. We are in grave danger.
The spiders spinning webs in his big fat pumpkin head have him thinking he’s playing a video game…or maybe “Battleship.” Any thoughts on a peaceful solution are still just a concept to Shitler. Bomb baby bomb, drill baby drill, die earthlings die. It’s all the same.
MAGATS aren't outraged because Trump might be in the Epstein files (he was put on that list by Hillary, after all). The shit gibbons are throwing it with both hands because he's cheated them out of the mother lode of bananas -- evidence that the liberal elitists operating in the Dark State are pedophiles. He spoiled their party.
Liar, Fraud, Con, Scumbag, Grifter, Racist, Fascist, Felon, Putin's Puppet, Traitor, America's Disgrace Trump is living in FANTASYLAND. Scumbag Trump has gone COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS. A few months ago, Trump ass-wiper AG Bondi said she had the Epstein client list on her desk. Now, Trump ass-wiper Bondi says there is no Epstein client list. Was she lying months ago, or is she lying now? One thing is for sure, Scumbag Trump is a proven liar, and it is not surprising that Trump ass-wiper Bondi is a liar as well.
Scumbag Trump is the WORST FUCKING PRESIDENT THE U.S. HAS EVER HAD. IN FACT, FAR WORSE than any other President. I pray, and i encourage all of Jeff's readers to join me in praying, for Scumbag, Piece-of-Shit Trump to suffer either a massive heart attack or a massive debilitating stroke. I can't wait to PISS ON Scumbag Trump's GRAVE.
I'd join you if the next two in line weren't JD and Mike. They are just as incompetent and evil, but they are easier to miss because they are less insane.
I believe that it was always the plan to destroy him and put Couch-fucker in charge. It's a horrible choice and I believe that it will happen, either through death or removal.
Key fact to know: Blondi always lies; she has never NOT lied--I'd question the veracity and require an slate of indepedent witnesses if she told me she had had Cheerios for breakfast. Therefore, in the Case of the Brigadoon Epstein Files and which time Blondi was lying, the inquiry "porque no los dos?" applies.
full disclosure: I'm pretty sure I lifted "this guy’s uncle is a toaster, and the government has files that prove this but refuses to release them" from a Mark Alan Stamaty comic that appeared in the Village Voice about 40 years ago, but google found no evidence of this
That's funny--there was a guy I liked in college who was friends with me but dating a girl who was really stupid, and my friend and I called her Toaster because she was dumber than an unplugged toaster, and I really can't remember why that was the appliance we chose.
She was dumb but hot?
She was as dumb as a popped tart!
I hope we were that clever!
“Hot” yet dumb, never fails to disappoint Doc. Tosspots and wastrels come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors,ages, even sexes, but damn!!
She just sat there without any element-al clue?
What is not funny, is that men in the US date women that they can disparage like that. If he thought she was dumb, what was he doing dating her. He is the loser.
Sounds like it was Babe and her friend calling the other girl "Toaster", not the guy.
Not clear which friend called her that, a different friend, or the boyfriend that she was also friends with. If you are correct than I retract what I am saying. It rang a bell though.
right. maybe he was dumb too but so cute Babe didn't care. i've been there.
Sounds like Mr. Hot Dude got hisself caught between the spokes of a contingent of Middle School Mean Girls on a Hating Spree. Rrrrrowwwrrrr.
it's a good word unlike calling them a refrigerator although there was a football player with that name. or stove, not good, toaster is perfect
Very accurate description of the guy in the park. I know since I represent individuals who are subject to conservatorships based on 'grave disability'. I'm pretty sure I represented this park guy.

By the way, could it be that DJT has embraced this planting hair theory? I mean, he has almost no hair and a total fetish for gold...just saying.
Tell him about it! Maybe he'll adopt this conspiracy theory as his own ,( please, please).
WE could start it as a 'conspiracy theory' just to plant the idea in (on?) his empty head. Just say'n.
A Actually everyone responding to this post just did start yet another conspiracy theory. "Theory" being an overstatement. Better watch your language.
Good memory outlasts Google.
Maybe your great line was placed on a Pop Tart by agents Scully and Mulder, written in special Pop Tart ink that gets revealed only when heated perfectly on setting #3 and visible for just ten seconds as it pops out of your toaster, so you made the perfect and timely choice for breakfast today!
The wall of wailing text is easily recognizable by anyone who knows a meth head whackaloon. Same shit, minus the ditto sheet.
Well, the one thing that surprised me is that he did not include Mamdani and Rosie O'Donnell in his rant. I guess his new perturbances distracted him.
then again, there's only so much space inside that tiny brain of his. I know the head's gallon sized but it's mostly filled with rocks.
On of my book clubs chose a book about Trump, and while it is not textually difficult, it is difficult for me to read because I hate learning this much about Trump. Don't know whether I will continue it. I feel tainted.

Some lines are so good, the subconscious just stores them away until a time of need.

Is there still a Village Voice?
Indeed. Back then, when some of us were reading the Voice, it's possible a memory neuron or two was replaced by delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Just sayin'.

There are reports of MAGAites burning their red hats. The Streisand Effect never worked better and schadenfreude never tasted so good.
the whole thing stinks. Donny also appointed the prosecutor who first let Epstein off with a slap on the wrist. I forget his name.
and everyone in the files, Democrat or Republican, needs to be prosecuted
Did you see Dershowitz saying I know all the names? Can't speak 'em cuz client privilege and judge's orders. A steak sandwich and a fifth of Jack would probably do the trick.
Dersh might not be the most reliable of narrators.
"Alan Dershowitz: Sure I Got a Massage at Jeffrey Epstein’s Mansion, but I Kept My Underwear On"
https://www.theroot.com/alan-dershowitz-sure-i-got-a-massage-at-jeffrey-epstei-1836314016
"I kept my underwear on" is the new "I never inhaled".
Busted out laughing😆😆😆!
Him yelling about lowering the age of consent to 14 proves his guilt to me.
OH, I clearly remember that. He's guilty as the rest of them. Imagine the poor girl who had to climb that frame? The mind balks.
🤮🤮🤮
You beat me to that Dersh statement. He only got a therapeutic massage on his shoulders and he had his underwear on. Sure Alan. Whatever you say Alan.
"Plausible deniability" haha, how about openly lying?
I believe her name was Olga also, so...Perfect Alibi! The Olga defense!
and why the fuck is he just in his underwear?
Oh I wish Dooshowitz would just STFU!
Wait Wut… Isn’t he on The List?
Yeah, but "he kept his underwear on." Sure, Jan.
Underwear or no, I hope the nubile masseuse got hazard pay
Yeah, and that's a lie. If he did know (and how?) he could have said, because I can't imagine a "privilege" in the law that would prevent him. He says the judge (WHO?) and privilege keeps him from revealing, but there's nothing I can think of that would support such a thing.
He's wanting attention.
It's a given that attention ho wants attention but I also think he's trying to indemnify himself.
😂
It was Alexander Acosta, who was awarded with the position of Labor Secretary by Donald Trump in his first term. Democrats wanted him to resign because of the way he handled the Epstein sex trafficking case in 2008.
Beat me to it Michelle, he was one of the many who retreated from Trump’s Insanity in his first term.
Alex Acosta—he’s another florduh piece of trash.
Is there something in the water in Florida? So many pieces of trash float to the surface down there.
As the saying goes: “All the nuts roll down to florida!” The last three decades here have been…something…
A corrupt, unprincipled POS. A MAGA in every way
Absolutely. Every last one of them. When it comes to crime, especially of such a heinous nature, political party doesn’t matter.
"What if Bill Clinton is on the list, eh?" That is not the sick burn they think it is.
I'm pretty sure we can take the truth. (Sorry for Hillary and Chelsea but they've survived scandal and betrayal before. They would have lots of support.)
If the E-mail lady is clever and diabolical enough to come up with the Epstein list (and even put Bill's name on there to hide her tracks or exact revenge) she's not clever and diabolical enough to keep a copy, and release it or drip it out when it serves her purposes?
His name was Alex Acosta.
A corrupt POS, meaning a perfect MAGA
You might forget, but the 'net doesn't

Thank you. I’d forgotten about some of this. I hate at the end how Trump said he felt very badly for Acosta. Trump was and still is a despicable POS who no doubt was thrilled with the outcome of that Epstein trial, since he was one of those pedophiles who a abused those young girls.
I think the prosecutor’s last name is Alex Acosta. He was in 45’s admin. as labor secy.
Alex Acosta.
Couldn’t agree more!!
I love the MAGA comments you included. If these are the rule and not the exception, Trump is going to have some work on his hands getting them distracted. Let us hope we are not the victims of that.
Such joy to hear Trump begging the MAGAS to play for his team!
The worst thing to do to a narcissist is to join the herds that hate him. Best kryptonite ever.
Streisand Effect? I've heard it, but don't get it.
The more you try and bury something the more it gets publicity. Based on a Barbra Streisand wedding that refused access to the press as I understand it.
Thank you
Thx. Had no clue either
FWIW, it's from a time that she sent a cease and desist to a photographer because they posted a picture of her house online — only the photographer was just someone documenting coastal erosion and no one even knew it was her house until she demanded it be taken down.

That sounds about right...
It means that when you get bad publicity, STFU. Talking about it brings more attention to the story than it would have otherwise.
Yeah, the full back story is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
Scam Blondi! Also: Bill Barr is deeply involved with Epstein and the cover up. And SCOTUS is about to get Maxwell's appeal from her criminal conviction.

This woman has a masters degree in education and taught special ed before retiring.
I agree. Why a majority of rural, Evangelical Christians and less educated working people would support- adore- a guy who grew up rich and distainful of anyone not super rich and elite, is beyond me. Is it because he was on TV and his public relations team built this phoney image of a regular guy?
Stupid follows stupid evidently.
He perfected the art of bullshitting.
And a New Yorker on top of it!
Sorry, no.
He’s lost that right. He’s been disowned by the entire city of NY. We want no part of his disgusting smelly self.
Right? Absolutely disgusting. Man, the rapture can't come soon enough. Get them ejected from our beautiful planet.
Bingo!
Darn right, Sarah!
The Daily Show does it again! Like Jeff, we have to laugh while we cry. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL5f5SltvdX/?igsh=NWl3aG1jZmVqdGkz
excellent analysis Sarah!
Beautifully written and stated. Thank you
Wow. Great comment Sarah.
Brilliant assessment. Spot on. Putin honed the shit out of this moment.
Keep in mind, he also said in his post, "We are the PERFECT administration, the TALK OF THE WORLD". You bet we are, but you could probably change "TALK" to "LAUGHINGSTOCK" of the world and be more accurate. The Profumo scandal had nothing on t. G7 will probably throw us out for moral inturpitude, and I hate to think of the jokes Xi and p are making. He made this bed, let him lie in it. Let me edit this. What can the Nobel Peace Prize Committee be thinking? And to think, they probably already tossed out the letter from Netanyahu, a known committer of genocide.
That's so wacky to me--none of his MAGA people would even CARE if he were in the Epstein files, as they know he must be in at least some way. They already know. Why would they be afraid of disclosing that? MAGA people will just be like, "he's a spy! He's trying to save children! Hoax by Hilary!"
But NOT showing whatever is flipping out the MAGAs and it makes me laugh.
By not showing the files, it lets their conspiracy theories run wild. You're right-just revealing the facts, even if they are enormously damning of drumpf, would not bother his zombies as much as not knowing for sure
That's so right--they can rationalize so many things, but this lets their stupid brains run wild.
"brains" being an overstatement...
I agree. The Epstein files have been known for years. MAGA folks wouldn't care if he had sex with 12 year olds because treating women with disrespect for being women is part of their code. If a 12 year old is doing older guys in their penthouse it's because they're whores and what do you expect real men to do but have sex with them. I know everyone thinks MAGA are the moral majority, but they are far from it.
Since the most corrupt presidential fixer AG, Bill Barr had all the evidence, as Trumps AG at the time of the Epstein investigation, it won’t likely ever see the light of day!!
Bill (Barr) was clearly bad. Bondi is worse. Her corruption and incompetence is100% arrogant.
Bondi should be disbarred for her open lying and corruption. She makes lawyers look even worse than they already do
I do agree Barr got in so deep he wanted out and was going out anyway. I think he didn’t want to end it all in the sewer so quit playing with evil magats. Way too little and way too late but he pulled the plug clearly. It seemed to happen over night something happened I think the election was it.
Oh it is on Pam Bondi’s desk!!
She should take a dirty page outta his crooked book and keep saying “It’s coming out in 2 weeks” in perpetuity
She looked at the file, saw the list of names, saw Donny’s name on it and then announced, “There is no list.”
There are plausible accusations of forcible rape of at least one young teen by both trump and epstein. These women would need witness protection if they testify, but how cool would it be?
Sadly his supporters won't care. The trampy girls were lying, his jealous friends were lying, he did it but only because the girls were lying, he did it because he's a macho man and the girls loved him. The 20% of the die-hard Christian MAGA are brainwashed and totally invested in their phoney image of his greatness.
There could be video, and he'd *still* get a pass:
"She asked for it"
"He was teaching her a lesson"
"She looked 35"
The video was doctored by Biden. Or was it Obama. Wait, I think it was Hillary.
It was all three! In the basement of that Satanic pedophile pizza shop.
Or maybe it was Elvis Presley 🎸 🤔🤷🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely. These MAGA folks don't respect women, unless she's their mom.
All they really want to see is perversion and wrongdoing by the liberal elite - followed by very public punishment.
The crazy uncle goes to washigton!
Ohhh— Jeff! “Inept fucktangle of shitweasels…”. Kinda trips off the tongue. Once seen—can’t be unseen.
Jeff is a master of insults. Love the guy.
Jeff always comes up with the perfect descriptions. “Inept fucktangle of shitwesels” is such a perfect description of Combover Caligula’s regime of destruction.
💥💥💥 The New York Times has committed a journalism !!! 🧨🧨🧨
New York Times editorial gathers devastating condemnations of the Trump administration by 48 federal judges. Be sure to read the last three paragraphs, “What Happens Next,” for discussion of what SCOTUS may do with these issues.

Unfortunately, the AP took a different approach. There was an article yesterday that I couldn't read and barely got past the headline. It stated the most ridiculous pile of horseshit by saying Trump's a changed man according to some in his inner circle. WTF AP. If anything, the perverted delirious asshole has obviously changed for the worse. That rant of insanity that he couldn't ever write on his own further emphasizes his guilt on all accounts.
'Prison Has Tamed Hitler, Will Be Leaving Politics'
New York Times 1922
And, a mere 23 years later, he did! /s
Yes!!! No better example of "there's nothing new under the sun".
Yeah he's changed. He has descended into senility and the AP and Trump's handlers and the uber rich oligarchs are propping him up. Its the biggest heist ever.
It kills me that this would be AP, but that is the kind of unethical reporting we see now. What bearing does what his inner circle says have on anything? How about expert opinion with trustworthy credentials or people with first-hand experience in these crimes? People that commit crimes as he does do not change & it's highly unethical & irresponsible to support that idea. They could present the question, do people change in these circumstances? And, the knowledgeable answer, along with with the evidence as you point out, is NO.
Poignant per usual Rick!!
Thanks for the link! Finally some clear headed thinking in NYT.
"The bipartisan alarm from federal judges offers a roadmap for others to respond to Mr. Trump’s often illegal behavior. His actions deserve to be called out in plain language for what they really are. And people in positions of influence should do what they can to stand up for American values, as many judges have done."
"roadmap for others to respond"
"actions deserve to be called out in plain language"
How about the Opposition Party? How about the ethical GOP? Ethical Republicans and Democrats are sitting on their hands. Gazing at their navels. While psychopaths-Miller and Trump-are harming people. We have given them the power (using our taxpayer $Billions) to hunt down, attack, kidnap and imprison brown people. This must stop now.
DNC: Just tell the Truth about the Trump Family Mafia. Take action. Organize blockades of the concentration camps. Block the masked ICE thugs. Protect the innocent. Attack the evil and shut it down! Shame the press for their cowardice. Do the right thing. Do your job or get out of the way.
if only but comity
One of my favorites from the article (and thank you for the link, Kathleen!):
Patrick J. Schiltz, District of Minnesota
Appointed by George W. Bush
On the revocation of a student’s visa:
“The court cannot imagine how the public interest might be served by permitting federal officials to flaunt the very laws that they have sworn to enforce.”
Is it "flaunt the very laws" or "flout the very laws" or maybe "float the very laws"?
I think he meant "flout." But good on him...
Thank you, Kathleen!
Thank you!
Just realized! Do you suppose that one or more SCJOTUS is on the list? That would be motivation to STOP the investigation.
Say his supporters won't believe or care. Their phoney pastors will say he is persecuted like Christ.
Thank you so much for the guest link! It was a great article well-worth sharing just to remind people that all courts haven’t yet gone to Hell in a hand basket.
It is honestly frightening having someone (ostensibly) in charge of the country who is this fucking legitimately insane.
Yes, it is. We must be cautious. The next few days will be a hailstorm of feces thrown at us from the WH to deflect. They desperately want to change the narrative. The mad king is melting down.
The king has no brain…and ain’t afraid to show it.
Its frightening that there are really smart criminals standing behind the camouflage of his nonsense. They are raking in billions.
With the codes , yet. 😱
Well, TRump is the #BLOTUS. Biggest Liar of the United States. What can we expect from this wannabe dictator?! Not much...
I like POSOTUS 😉
Been waiting years to see them turn on him. 🥂Here’s to hoping it’s just the beginning!🍿
Germany didn't turn on Hitler until Berlin was a heap of rubble. Hope we don't have to wait that long.
No way in hell Loser POSUS Trump wrote that "UNTRUTH" post. He may have whined something similar incoherently to … Bondi?
I think those files went into Trump's safe. He can use them to blackmail MANY people around the world. Epstein's work of amassing compromising evidence on people in power for Israeli Intelligence will be put to further nefarious use. Trump learned the art of sleaze from his mentor Roy Cohn
He’s fucking you MAGA, and us as well. A lot of the evidence is circling the independent media sites in plain view. Do your own research. Don’t just take Fox’s word for things. What you will realize if you pursue the facts with a mind open to different views other than the propaganda being force fed to you, is that DJT is THE DEEP STATE AND A PEDOPHILE.
You may also realize that none of the accomplishments Trump (or Bondi) are bragging about are reality. The American public, both Liberals and Conservatives, are being played for suckers by the current Republican regime. They need us to hate each other. They need us to focus on manufactured crisis and emergencies, to distract us all from being robbed blind and being betrayed to our factual enemies. FUX SKEWS THE NEW - WE ALL LOSE.
The battle underway should be between all of us and the billionaire cabal that wants it all for themselves. They will forgive trump for any despicable sin or failure, as long as he acts in their interests first. They want us all under their repressive thumb enslaved for their enrichment.
You have a choice to make. Will you be duped and support this traitorous regime, or will you defend a free and diverse America? If you choose to stand behind the criminal Trump and his Palantir sponsored VP Vance, you can rest assured that eventually they reward your misguided loyalty by sacrificing and discarding you. If the ultra rich succeed, they won’t want to tarnish their reputation by associating with us common folk. To them, we are all the marks, the suckers and the vermin.
“I think those files went into Trump's safe”
Say … maybe that’s what’s buried in Ivana’s casket at The Thing’s “New Jersey ex-wife cemetery golf course.”
(I will adore Jeff forever for this turn of phrase alone)
What do you want to bet that Putin has a copy of the Epstein files?
Yes!
I think the "Thank you for your attention to this matter" that he has latched onto and can't stop repeating is hilarious. It reminds me of how you'd end a letter to your city councilman reminding him that nothing has been done yet about the missing manhole cover in front of your house.
The shithead seems to think ending every bleat with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" is authoritative, like a directive. Someone posted elsewhere it's like having John Gotti, American Mafioso, as president.
Trump is desperately looking for anything that will distract his mouthbreathers from the Epstein scandal. Watch for him to gin up a "crisis" and try to invoke the Insurrection Act. He is losing control and he knows it.
His threat to impose a 30% tariff on Canada and Mexico was his immediate move, but Wall Street is calling his bluff -- they gave us the nickname "TACO," after all -- and expect him to chicken out. He's running out of legal weapons.
Then he'll turn to illegal weapons, and we will really be in trouble.
He will probably bomb Canada.
Oh, Dear God! I certainly hope he doesn't decide to bomb another sovereign country and certainly not Canada. Who will he choose? Who? Maybe he will bomb Ukraine for Putin, although that love fest seems to have cooled for the moment. He is insane and he is cornered. We are in grave danger.
The spiders spinning webs in his big fat pumpkin head have him thinking he’s playing a video game…or maybe “Battleship.” Any thoughts on a peaceful solution are still just a concept to Shitler. Bomb baby bomb, drill baby drill, die earthlings die. It’s all the same.
Wouldn’t put it past him and I agree, we are in grave danger ⚠️
Snort! Just spat out my coffee.
Or invade Greenland.
But he has SO MUCH help.
My thoughts exactly. We are in yet another "Wag the Dog" moment.
Yes…. Get ready for desperate acts from CrazyHead. P
I thought Rosie O’Donnell created the Epstein File
I truly believe that, in a fight to the death, Rosie would make mincemeat out of Shitler.
I’d pay to see that.
👏👏👏💥🧨💣
He must have forgotten her in the rush to justify himself.
IKR. I was surprised she didn’t pop up somewhere 🫤
😝 HA!
Good one!
🥳😂
Who could ever predict that the MAGATS would lose faith in Trump because of THIS ???
Files! files! Give us the files !!!
Such joy to hear Trump begging the MAGATS to play for his team !!!
MAGATS aren't outraged because Trump might be in the Epstein files (he was put on that list by Hillary, after all). The shit gibbons are throwing it with both hands because he's cheated them out of the mother lode of bananas -- evidence that the liberal elitists operating in the Dark State are pedophiles. He spoiled their party.
"It's never enough for some people!" My favorite part of this whine. He is the whiniest man I ever heard of.
Whiney & petty. Oh, and full of bullshit. It's not a good combination.
Through in a heavy dose of delusional psychotic ignorant narcissism and we’re royally fvcked🤯
That’s just the start of all his bad characteristics -
Yep. Real alpha behavior, all right. Fucking idiots that worship him are irredeemable
aka: ‘Manly Man’?… didn’t he run on that too? 😒
Or was it ‘Daddy’… how embarrassing for all of us 🫣
Liar, Fraud, Con, Scumbag, Grifter, Racist, Fascist, Felon, Putin's Puppet, Traitor, America's Disgrace Trump is living in FANTASYLAND. Scumbag Trump has gone COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS. A few months ago, Trump ass-wiper AG Bondi said she had the Epstein client list on her desk. Now, Trump ass-wiper Bondi says there is no Epstein client list. Was she lying months ago, or is she lying now? One thing is for sure, Scumbag Trump is a proven liar, and it is not surprising that Trump ass-wiper Bondi is a liar as well.
Scumbag Trump is the WORST FUCKING PRESIDENT THE U.S. HAS EVER HAD. IN FACT, FAR WORSE than any other President. I pray, and i encourage all of Jeff's readers to join me in praying, for Scumbag, Piece-of-Shit Trump to suffer either a massive heart attack or a massive debilitating stroke. I can't wait to PISS ON Scumbag Trump's GRAVE.
I'd join you if the next two in line weren't JD and Mike. They are just as incompetent and evil, but they are easier to miss because they are less insane.
I believe that it was always the plan to destroy him and put Couch-fucker in charge. It's a horrible choice and I believe that it will happen, either through death or removal.
I am afraid that you are correct. I just wonder if it will be before the midterms. He is deteriorating rapidly, and he wasn't that much to begin with.
You'll have to stand in a very long line, and probably camp out. It would be worth it, though.
I am so looking forward to doing it! I would stand in line even if the line was a mile long!
Maybe some entrepreneur will arrange bus trips? That would be convenient.
Maybe Ginni Thomas.
Key fact to know: Blondi always lies; she has never NOT lied--I'd question the veracity and require an slate of indepedent witnesses if she told me she had had Cheerios for breakfast. Therefore, in the Case of the Brigadoon Epstein Files and which time Blondi was lying, the inquiry "porque no los dos?" applies.
But she didn’t lie when she said it’s on her desk right now for her review.
THEN the fun started!
I'm making popcorn on the stove, because my microwave takes pictures of me and sends it to Pam Bondi.
(I'll show myself out)
LOL
THIS is a good one! I choked on a large gulp of water I was working on.
