I didn't sit down with the intention of writing 1,642 words about Donny's dead pedo bestie, but once I got started I couldn't stop. Donny's crazypants Canada tweet will just have to be a topic of conversation down here in the comments

Stephen Brady's avatar

I for one am glad of it! You write it, we’ll read it. Jeff, may I suggest you start thinking of your writing as (somewhat offcolor) history and a public service!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Well that's one definition of journalism: the first draft of history.

Dan Beach's avatar

What a great statement.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Very much the truth!

Will's avatar

That's beautiful.

Lynn Purvis-Yund's avatar

absolutely important to have this shit documented and I am so glad Jeff is doing this, I had also relied on Colbert and Kimmell to update me, I am very squeamish and therefore thankful for doctors, dentists, etc. and I am equally thankful to Jeff doing the valuable work I can't, truly patriotic

Unity In Defiance's avatar

I think sometimes you just gotta let the words come out as they do... and in this case? I think in this case every single word was needed. And now I have some words that start with "F" I am going to go yell into the ether....

In particular, beam *him* up, examine what passes for his brain, and explain to us Earthings WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL HUMANITY because you’ll find every human flaw in there, hard at work mutating and designing new and even more virulent human flaws.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

I had a comment where I let fly with several of them...but I edited them out. I love reading Jeff's salty screeds, but I don't yet feel completely comfortable writing them myself. Like you, Unity in Defiance, I go out on the back steps and shout them at the trees (which is the start of a 20 acres woodlot, so essentially into the ether)

Not in the ether for me. I'm saying now that disgusting mother fucker in the White House needs to be dragged out and flogged in public, at least once for every one of the victims he is still fucking over.

Fuck an announcement about UFO's. We all know damn well it's another attempt at subterfuge. Trump can just go fuck himself.

Maybe this is what you're referring to, Jeff? Trump wants to prevent a bridge from being opened between two countries -- quite the metaphor, isn't it?

It's the new Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit. Canada built the bridge and will recoup costs over decades. I'm guessing it would be (will be?) a huge help to the local Detroit economy. Anyway, what an idiot. And what idiots Americans are for voting for this buffoon. One person on former twitter believes it's partly because the Ambassador Bridge is owned by Republican donors. Who knows -- it's just so stupid with this guy, one day after another.

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2026/02/09/trump-says-gordie-howe-bridge-wont-open-without-canadian-concessions/88597735007/

EDIT: "At the time, Republicans in the Legislature refused to provide funding for the bridge, which was opposed by the private owners of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, the Moroun family."

T L Mills's avatar

And just how ridiculous is it that an international bridge is privately owned and they get to collect tolls forever????? How in the freaking world did that come about?

Will's avatar

More:

"The Gordie Howe International Bridge is designed to have tolls for the foreseeable future to recover the multi-billion dollar construction costs funded by Canada, with revenue sharing planned with Michigan afterward. While tolls are not explicitly 'forever,' they are integral to the long-term operational and maintenance model of the 125-year lifespan bridge."

Leu2500's avatar

eh. we pay a toll to cross the Mackinaw Bridge. & we'll pay tolls forever to the Mackinaw Bridge Authority, which is like an independent state agency.

The tolls pay for continuous upkeep. which isn't cheap when you have to keep dumping salt on it during the winter.

Will's avatar
6hEdited

Agreed. I think the fact that a private entity (a Republican donor to Trump) is taking in the profits for the Ambassador Bridge is one of the concerns. Sounds like it might not have been a great deal for government entities, and therefore for taxpayers. I'm continuously amazed that anyone believes Republicans care AT ALL about taxes for average folks anywhere in the country.

T L Mills's avatar

Leu2500....That's reasonable. I get it...but for a bridge to be PRIVATELY OWNED as the Ambassador Bridge is? And likely the tolls do go toward upkeep and so forth...but I'll bet a month's SS that the Detroit Bridge Co. asks for Fed help for upkeep and repairs. (a subsidy, perhaps?) The Maroun family are rich Repubbie donors, and when has a Repubbie ever balked at seeing what they could get out of the Federal Gummint?

Will's avatar
8hEdited

T L Mills, I get your concern, but your characterization of the funding isn't quite accurate. See my comments below.

EDIT: I misunderstood TL's comments. He was referring to the Ambassador Bridge. I completely agree. :)

T L Mills's avatar

Will, very sorry, I wasn't clear on my reference...I was speaking of the Ambassador Bridge, privately owned by the Moroun family (Detroit International Bridge Company) who are evidently Republican donors and who have complained to Donny that they will lose revenue (sob, sob, sob) and to not allow the Gordie Howe Bridge to open

Charles Austin's avatar

And the grift goes on.😡

Sooz Hall's avatar

Typo. The Moron family. (Okay, cheap shot…)

Robert Eckert's avatar

I do not use the Ambassador Bridge, even though it is closer to me than the Blue Water Bridge (Port Huron to Sarnia). Of course, Blue Water gives more convenient access to the major Ontario highways.

Will's avatar

Ah, sorry T L! Got it - Yeah, completely agree!

celeste k.'s avatar

how long will it take for crossing the bridge to be used as leverage for other nefarious ends? The bridge should not be privately owned.

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

do these private owners pony up the money for maintenance ?

T L Mills's avatar

I expect that they must, for at least some maintenance...but geez, keeping a bridge of that size in good repair has to require major investment from time to time. As I wrote in a previous comment, unless the family has a cool billion or so, a major repair could wipe out the family fortune. I'm sure they apply for grants or subsidies for assistance...but that's just a guess. I've never heard of a bridge--and international bridge--being a privately held business.

greed. more and more greed.

Here in Canada we are shitting our pants knowing that if we sign a trade deal with China, they are going to take hockey away.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

I was just so puzzled by trump's statement.

Doesn't he know that China has been renowned world wide for CENTURIES for their love of ice hockey? It was one of the main reasons the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) invented the Frigidaire, so they'd have something to skate on in the summer, when temperatures in Beijing typically reach 100f.

Someone should let trump know this, so he does make himself look a fool.

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

oh wait, he does that every day...

michellefromchicago's avatar

Well, this is dumb. Gordy Howe his practically been canonized in Michigan

Will's avatar

Quite a few Republican voters who have worshipped the Detroit Red Wings are scratching their heads.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Did you spell "Moroun" right?

Jean Jacoby's avatar

Oh, you mean about that bridge that Trump threatened to not allow to open, the one the Canadians paid for and built between Ontario and Detroit, the one named after the famous Canadian hockey player Gordie Howe? The one that will be an economic boon to Detroit and Michigan generally?

Irascible Ink's avatar

Yep. But apparently all 40 million of us need to get on our knees and spell out WE'RE SORRY from sea to sea to make Baby ME-ME happy.

He probably just wants his well deserved monetary token of appreciation for being Trump. So he'll keep closed until he sees the money.

That one’s easy. Carney needs to do a modified Gordie Howe hat trick for the Gordie Howe Bridge - a goal, no assist, and a fight. As always, Jabba is demanding something for nothing, and We the People are the ones who pay.

Ronald P YYZ's avatar

Canada (and most of the world) is now thinking that the USA political system (and too many of its voters) is so unstable that getting the endorsement for a huge infrastructure project from one President is meaningless, because a later President might just shit all over the project, EVEN IF IT'S THE SAME FUCKING PERSON!!

Linda Weide's avatar

Release the Full, Entire Fucking Epstein Files. The only parts that should be redacted are the parts with identifying information of the women and girls involved. THE VICTIMS were raped, and some may have been murdered according to the files. TRUMP AND HIS BUDDIES ARE NOT THE VICTIMS! Trump should be investigated by unbiased agents not currently under his employ.

Trump is so all over the place. One day he focuses on Bad Bunny the next day on Mark Carney. I hope he is not here in Germany saying further inflammatory stuff at the Munich Security Council. I read in Politico Berlin that German Chancellor Merz, and Günther Sautter his interim head of the National Security Council are having a big headache at the MSC, which is happening this week. The implication was it was because of security and the Trump administration. I have a friend, whose husband is a retired German diplomat who is going to be glued with her husband to all of the livestreamed talks this weekend. Everyone is still talking about how horrid J D Vance's talk was last year, and how rude Marco Rubio is going to be speaking this year. AOC is in attendance, and hopefully will participate in a roundtable discussion.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

According to Jamie Raskin, the Pedo President's name has been redacted many times. Now why would his name be redacted, unless those giving the instructions knew he'd show up badly in those files? At this point we don't need to see the files to know that old fart bag is guilty as hell.|

Also Lutnik this morning is going with the "i barely saw him or talked to him!" defense while being questioned and said he was "only on the island for an hour for lunch!"

Why you need to have lunch with a known pedo Lutnik? Guess who hasn't had lunch with pedos?

MOST OF THE GOD DAMN COUNTRY!! ffs....

That needs a correction “I was bare when I was told to see him, then he (Epstein), said now do me Nutlick and it better be good or you’ll be swimming home” . In this AI version we enjoy a realistic and fun, sometimes dangerously sadistic portrayal of the edgy world that Ghislaine choreographed. No lunch for you Nutlick.

Because with all of his billions he had an awful smile. No one wants to see his smile or teeth. He needed a good cosmetic dentist.Speaking of which, Istill want to know why he had that dentists chair in the room with the scary masks. Did he make those poor girls or children pretend they were dental hygienists in a sick game wearing uniforms? I'm not being facetious.

Carol JLH's avatar

I've sacrificed brain cells so I don't have to think about that dentist's chair. The evil is so overwhelming I don't want to add a showing of Epstein's home movies in my head.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

The PM of Poland has stated that the thing is looking like a KGB honeytrap, which would sure make the pee tape look quaint

PJ Schuster's avatar

The pee tape is the very mildest of things that DT was doing. There are now accusations of multiple pregnancies, miscarriages, abortions, even murder that he may have been involved in or knew about. Also the raping of little girls. We can forget about pee tapes.

Nancy Potter's avatar

The strenuous denials of "pee tapes" were possibly a misdirection by Trump and his allies, since there may not be pee tapes such as have been described, but there are probably rape tapes and, in the worst scenario, snuff tapes. Epstein had connections to Putin, and Putin may have devastating kompromat on many of the financial titans in Europe and the US.

Mary Hall's avatar

Some people think that the "P" in the so-called pee-tape refers to pedophilia.

Robin D's avatar

Very few people despise Howard Lutnick personally as much as I do, and it goes back to 9/11 and Cantor Fitzgerald and I will leave it at that. Of course he's a creep.and liar, but I do not believe he was involved with Epstein because of the sex. He was there for the money. That is what gives Howard Lutnick orgasms. Not little girls. MONEY!!!!! He (and now his grown sons) need to be investigated for his financial and ponzi schemes and scams, crypto scams and all of the other.disgusting things he has done in his life.

DonP's avatar

Oh I don't doubt that. But he was involved AFTER Epstein was convicted the first time, and that makes him every bit as bad as those who were there for the sex.

Robin D's avatar

Howard Lutnick is a.scumbag and he knew. He has no morals and he didn't care. You have your opinion and I have mine. We'll just leave it at that.

Above the Law has an article this morning about their own appearance in the files (in an email someone sent to an FBI agent working on the case in 2023 with a link to one of their articles). https://abovethelaw.com/2026/02/above-the-law-is-in-the-epstein-files-let-us-explain/

The point of the article is that there's no reason for a 2023 email between an FBI agent and a third party to be in the production at all while stuff that should be in the production, like the 302 summaries of witness statements, are missing. But the article also includes an interesting find: there's an email between Epstein and a redacted person about a visit to Epstein in Florida, and the content is relatively innocuous; mostly tennis and how far Edmonton is from everything. But there's a word redacted in the text of the email, which obviously from context is "don't." Why is that significant/suspicious? I'll let ATL explain:

"That’s a redaction of the word “don’t.” That wouldn’t seem to be worthy of redaction unless someone committed a typo and didn’t include the apostrophe and software followed directions to eliminate any incidence of words with “Don” and “T” appearing next to each other (Or “don! w/1 t!” for the boolean heads out there… I see you). Meanwhile, victim names were left catastrophically unredacted, even though that’s one of the very few redactions the statute actually allowed.

"Then the DOJ published and then quietly deleted a document that explicitly tagged Trump. It returned once social media called it out. Not suspicious at all."

San's avatar

They’re redacting the names of several pedos to give cover for the reason pedo djt’s name is redacted. Their MO is to cause confusion constantly “We didn’t cover for djt! Look at all the other names that were accidentally redacted too. Oh darn now we must start all over! Sorry for the delay!”

Susan Niemann's avatar

I HAD READ- Massie says he has received ALL the files, unreacted, on a hard drive.

THIS HAS BEEN REDACTED!!!!

He allegedly said that every name you can imagine is on there and if released, it would blow up the whole system. I'm not sure what that means but...please, blow it up. Burn it all to the ground because allowing this kind of depravity to be forgotten is unacceptable. And I believe that every name will eventually come out...if not America, then France, the UK, and other countries who have more decency than us.

I think people are getting carried away for the "gotcha" and not even looking deeper to what's on the last line of the article. The link to the Miami Herald story about Trump, Epstein and Ghislaine He would sell his kids down the river.

Kathy H's avatar

I, too, saw what was shown as a direct quote by Massie re: thumb drive. I'm sorry I don't remember where. I don't remember who shared it, it was said to be posted by 'a political writer', if I am remembering correctly.

B Fuller's avatar

Massie has refuted that entire quote, sadly.

Kathy H's avatar

Damn. Good it was brought to him to confirm or deny, but damn it's hard to remember 'anyone can say anything' with no real consequences. Those trying to uphold integrity & being good on their word are the only ones constrained.

It seems people are aware, though because the "mood" of the comments was very strongly 'so what, what's Massie going to DO with it'. I appreciate the reminder to believe half of what I see, & none of what I hear. I forget we're living in a post "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats..." world.

I just wonder -- if you're talking about 13 to 16-year-old girls who were brought to Epstein parties and introduced to men who weren't all public figures. Trump is one thing, but if all you know about the guy who's molesting you is that his name is "Jerry" or "Howard," 20 or more years later, can they name all the names?

Mary Lou Williams's avatar

Totally agree. If releasing those files causes the blowup of the entire US government because of its depravity, then blow it up! Because it needs to be stopped.

It will take good people around the world to serve justice while our DOJ is underperforming.

zuzu's avatar

He's got a really not-great voting record, but on this issue, he's been rock solid. He's also been a bulldog on budgetary stuff, and willing to buck Trump. I think he knows his constituency backs him even if Trump doesn't. Trump has given up trying to bully him, so that's a sign.

Anyone who is afraid of Trump but does good constituent service should take notes. Many people hate Congress but love their Congresscritter, as long as they're responsive.

But it seems to ME that Mr OGLES had to be SITTING IN FRONT OF HIS TV W/ A MAGNIFYING GLASS TRAINED ON EVERY CROTCH IN THE JOINT, just WAITING for something that made his nads sit up & take notice.

That says more about HIM than it says about ANYTHING else....& about the people who think KID CROCK is such a MORAL performer, while singing about how it's not "STATUARY", but "MANDATORY" - someone who was SO DRUNK/STONED, in front of CHILDREN in the TV audience, that he couldn't even LIP SYNC HIS OWN "SONGS".

The WILLINGLY TWISTED interpretation of "MORALITY", in the service of an ADJUDICATED RAPIST WHO PAID CHILDREN OFF AFTER RAPING THEM, to STAY OUT OF PRISON, just CHAPS MY ASS!

I read that earlier, and I replied that there was no porn of any kind on my TV. Ogles is completely unhinged

Yeah, that fight was over with Elvis.

Of course if it'd been (white) 15-year-old high school cheerleaders shimmying and saddlejumping to Billy Ray Cyrus, that'd be all good and natural and wholesome, right.

15 year-olds would be too old for these freaks.

But it was in Spanish and their boss, Trump, says "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying." So how do they know it was dirty? Do they know more than their messiah?

Ghislaine Maxwell needs to be held in a maximum security prison. I was employed as a nurse at a state prison facility for one year in my career. During the two week orientation, officers drove us through the different levels of security. Level 5 was the pedophiles and murderers. Level 1 was non-violent offenders. I chose to work in level 1. The correctional officers told us about the inmates in level 5. Those pedos got their karma. I will not repeat what happens, but even the correctional officers look the other way. I read Virginia Giuffre’s book. Maxwell needs to see some karma

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

I've read claims that there are at least four hidden graves referenced in the files -- two off the 19th hole on Trump's Palos Verdes estate and two somewhere on Epstein's 7,000 acre Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Victims of violent sex and witnesses. If Maxwell knows about even one of these, which she surely does, she's an accomplice to murder.

Songgirl Kim's avatar

She’s definitely an accomplice to murder. Please read Virginia Giuffre’s book - ‘Nobody’s Girl’. It will infuriate you and break your heart.

Leu2500's avatar

the NM State House wants to establish a Truth Commission to look into Zorro Ranch.

I volunteered to work with a girl at a girl's juvenile facility (prison) and several of us were taking a tour with the warden. She told us that at least half (maybe more) of the girls had a history of having been sexually abused as children. Adult female prisoners may have similar histories of abuse and they have to deal every day with a monster like Maxwell?

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

I worked as a guard/asst counselor in a juvenile detention facility, for yrs.

Yes, most of those girls ARE sexually abused. In fact, at one point, two sisters in our facility (ages 12 & 15) admitted, during a counseling session, that their PARENTS were PIMPING THEM OUT FOR DRUG MONEY. The cycle was the same every day: go to school, come home, fix dinner, wash dishes....& when they finally had time to settle down & do their homework, their parents started sending the men up to their bedrooms. EVERY. DAMNED. NIGHT.

We were also holding their 18 yr old brother in isolation....completely psychotic, the parents refused to fill his meds, & he beat some dude half to death. We had him for *ages*, while the courts took their goddamned time trying to figure out whether he should go to prison, a mentally institution, or <GASP!!> keep him in juvvie til he turned 21.

And they had a *three yr old sister*, still in the home as this was all happening.

Later on, I worked at a rescue facility for victims of sex trafficking....& yes, most of *them* were abused as kids, too.

Maxwell is a monster. She will get her karma

she WAS in a higher security prison. until she said nice things about Trump.

Her crime disqualifies her for the Club Fed she's in now.

Songgirl Kim's avatar

She wants a pardon from him

Nancy Potter's avatar

And I will believe her statements exonerating Trump just as much as I believe anything out of Trump's, Karoline Leavitt's or Kristi Noem's mouth. Maxwell was even convicted of perjury, so she's a proven liar.

rlritt's avatar

And he will pardon her either because he gets cash or she has hidden photos that incriminate him.

Once upon a time, pedos were sent to Vacaville and placed on the higher tiers. Heights so dizzying that some “fell” to their deaths.

Jeff, Id like to pass wisdom today, as I dont often do this enough.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and philosopher, from Self-Reliance (1841), foundational text of transcendentalism and American individualism.

What you carry forward into the burning world: Emerson wrote this 183 years ago and it's still the whole fucking assignment. Every morning you wake up and decide who you are—not who they say you should be, not who would be easier, not who would make them comfortable—but you, actual you.

Our heroes today: (You were one of the three yesterday, so I had to share the love).

1. Audre Lorde — Who taught us that "your silence will not protect you" and that self-care is political warfare when the system wants you dead.

2. Harvey Milk — Who got elected, got shot, and still changed everything by refusing to hide who he loved.

3. Gertrude Stein — Who built a literary salon in Paris where queer artists could exist, create, and thrive when the world said they shouldn't exist at all.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of those redacting have seen the BS piggy hired them to cover up. That son of a bitch belongs in prison NOW. Seems he's trying this BS solely so he can DIE before it all REVEALED. Personally I don't give a shit what piggy's motives or intentions are. WE ALL KNOW he's A PEDOPHILE RAPIST. THANKS to scotus and their ILLEGAL IMMUNITY SHIT, they've bought him time to skate until he croaks. AND he HAS ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE NOW!

rlritt's avatar

Thats why there is a plan to use ICE to intimidate voters because he knows if Democrats take over the Congress, he will be impeached. He has come out and said that..

When you’ve lost the dumb and crazy, you’ve lost your base. So then it’s time to “Blame Canada” and try to extort them on the bridge they built. It’s named after fucking Gordie Howe. I mean, good luck with that. Watch the Alberta secession movement evaporate. Then run Hassett and Navarro onto the morning biz shows to share their illegal interpretations of the new economic numbers and spout nonsensical claims about growth “under the new Fed chair”.

Side note. Remember how Agnew was Nixon’s insurance policy against impeachment? What the fuck is Couchfucker thinking about all this?

Satchuralman's avatar

I met 'fucking Gordie Howe' at an automobile show in NYC when I was about 12 years old. I remember how friendly he was to my friends and me while we got his autograph. We knew nothing about hockey and he joked about my nickname. Fuck off Trump.

Charles Austin's avatar

Gordie was class personified. And he played competitive hockey well into his 60s.

What an amazing and well-designed compilation this is. Thank you. Wish we had an FBI/DOJ similarly focused, rather than on full-service criminal coverups at every scale.

It’s said that the coverup is always worse than the crime. I’m having a hard time understanding that.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

I’m doubtful in this case. We truly don’t know all the awfulness in these files. It is depraved beyond our imaginations.

Sooz Hall's avatar

I’m guessing it means something like the crime is a big tar ball made by one or two people, and trying to cover it up or hide it just gets more and more people stuck to it.
