STRANGE DAYS: One Trump Renounces Marjorie Taylor Greene, Another Trump Embraces John Fetterman

Whoever said that “politics makes strange bedfellows.” probably wasn’t thinking about the perversions of pedophiles in the political arena. But that interpretation is more apt today in the wake of what we now know about child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and his long time friend Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

The Epstein saga has survived long after the villainous degenerate’s demise. And its longevity is largely due to the cowardly reticence of Trump, and his MAGA minions in Congress and the press, to be forthcoming about his role in the matter. To the contrary, he has been fiercely suppressing any discussion or disclosure that would have the potential to exonerate him if he were not in fact guilty.

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

Consequently, the controversy over the question of releasing the Epstein files in the possession of Trump’s “Justice” Department just keeps snowballing. And among the outgrowths of the bizarre storyline are the coalitions and conflicts that have developed.

For instance, one of Trump’s most fervent supporters throughout his occupations of the White House has been Georgia QAnon Representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene. When not proffering her theories on “Jewish space lasers” and the “Gazpacho Police,” she was promoting Trump as a near deity who could never be wrong.

That is until this business of Epstein and the files that Trump is so desperately trying to bury. Greene’s punishment for defying Trump’s mission to muzzle all things Epstein has resulted in her being cast out of the Trump cult. on Friday Trump posted a lengthy diatribe disparaging Greene on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene. […] all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”

Setting aside that Trump appears to be describing himself, his complaint against Greene was triggered almost entirely by her staunch advocacy of releasing the Epstein files. Although Trump may also have been bothered by her concern for the welfare of her constituents who have been harmed by Trump’s policies on healthcare and his tariffs that have raised the cost of living.

The bottom line for Trump, of course, is that Greene failed to be wholly obedient and subservient. You have to wonder what is going to become of Greene’s boyfriend, Brian Glenn, who is a dedicated Trump-fluffing reporter. Meanwhile, Trump’s anger drove him to post a subsequent comment declaring that “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” To which Greene responded on Twitter/X saying that…

“President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. […] he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files. […] But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.”

Ironically, while Donald Trump was laying into Greene, his daughter-in-lawlessness and Fox News host, Lara Trump, was on Fox and Friends gushing over Democratic senator, John Fetterman. Ms. Lara seems to regard herself as an expert on what Democrats should think and do. And she is enamored with Fetterman’s alleged moderate positions and willingness to bash his fellow Democrats…

“He’s a person who the Democrats may want to look at and emulate a little bit more. He’s the most common sense Democrat in the entire party. I would say John Fetterman has more in common with Donald Trump than he does with the general population of the Democrat Party at this point. They need more of him not less of him. So they might want to embrace that.”

Why Lara thinks that having more in common with Trump than other Democrats would make Fetterman more appealing to Democrats is a mystery. And while Fetterman has been a bit of a disappointment to Democrats in some respects, he still votes more often with his party than he does against it. Particularly notable is that he is strongly in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Just like Greene.

However, for some reason Fetterman’s stance on the Epstein files hasn’t made him a pariah to the GOP as it has done for Greene. And Fox News has been actively praising him. But if you want an alternative view from an actual Democratic Party moderate, here is what James Carville had to say to Fox…

HUH? Trump Orders Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton and Other Democrats Re: Jeffrey Epstein

The desperation of Donald Trump is rising to unprecedented heights. Only a few days ago new revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein were disclosed in emails that Epstein wrote that further implicate Trump in his unsavory and illegal affairs. It was a bombshell story that overwhelmed the breaking news of the end of the record setting 43 day Trump Shutdown.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Bill Clinton

For the first 24 hours after the Epstein disclosure, Trump posted nothing on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That’s extraordinarily uncommon for the online Troll-in-Chief. He must have been profoundly shaken by the public exposure of his lack of morality. Which he needn’t be because everyone already knows that. Maybe he was just huddling with advisors to figure out a way to spin the bad news.

SEE THIS: Trump Mouthpiece Whines that the Epstein Story Gets More Press than Trump ‘Winning’ the Shutdown

However, Trump’s reticence to disseminate more lies appears to have been overcome this morning as he has posted a couple of tediously long comments on the Epstein matter that actually make him look even more guilty. In the first comment Trump whined pitifully that…

“The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein Hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing 50,000 pages of documents, in order to deflect from all of their bad policies and losses, especially the SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT.” [And that…]

“Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish. Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem!” [And whined…]

“Don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!”

Trump is well aware that the documents released by his “Justice” Department thus far are all innocuous distractions that have been sanitized of any mention of his name, or other incriminating information. And as for the alleged “SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT,” that really lands squarely on Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress. Democrats succeeded in raising the awareness of the cruelty of Trump and the GOP, and the American people saw right through those efforts to gaslight them.

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all … less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-13T14:21:38.755Z

Trump’s comment went on to attack his own party as “weak,” “soft,” and “foolish.” And it’s hard to argue with him about that. But in this case he’s making the accusation because they had the courage to defy him, for a change. And he simply cannot comprehend or tolerate that. So he lashed out with obviously desperate allegations charging that Epstein is “the Democrats problem.” It was an angle that he liked so much that he elaborated on it in his second comment, along with a menacing threat…

“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions.”

First of all, if Trump really believed that Epstein was “the Democrat’s problem,” he would release all of the files immediately to expose them. Instead, he’s fiercely battling to keep them secret. What does that tell you about who he really thinks are the problem?

More disturbing is Trump’s continuing weaponization of the DoJ to persecute his perceived political enemies. He has already ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to indict former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep. Eric Swalwell. All on the same trumped up charge of mortgage fraud, which he himself was found liable of in a New York civil suit.

A significant difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats aren’t afraid of investigating anyone who might be guilty of sex crimes in association with Epstein. But it’s painfully conspicuous that Trump is only interested in going after Democrats. He literally demanded his GOP cohorts to not “waste your time with Trump.”

Trump and others on the right have questioned why Democrats didn’t release the Epstein files during the term of President Biden. The answer to that is simple, but still to complex for Trump and MAGA to grasp. For one thing, the Biden administration wasn’t weaponizing the Justice Department. And more substantively, the criminal case of Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was still in progress at the time. And it is improper to release evidence while a case is ongoing.

Trump went on to complain that “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam with all arrows pointing to the Democrats.” Which is just his goto whimpering about any of the many credible charges against him. He also alleged that records show that Democrats “spent large portions of their life with Epstein.” But for some reason, he has never produced those alleged records. However, the evidence of his long and close friendship with Epstein has been public for years.

Trump’s attempt to shift criminal suspicion to Democrats isn’t going to work. The public is already aware of his rank immorality and convinced of his guilt. These comments will only serve to make him look more guilty and desperate. But at this point, it’s all that he has left. And the worse things get for him, the more outrageously he will react. So don’t be surprised if he pulls a “Wag the Dog” move and declares war on Venezuela.

UPDATE: Pam Bondi has predictably obeyed Trump’s unethical command to launch an investigation into Democrats and Epstein. She posted a comment on Twitter/X saying…

“Thank you, Mr. President. SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I’ve asked him to take the lead. As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people.”

So Bondi is agreeing to persecute only Democrats and leave the more likely pedophile Trump alone. We can expect the “urgency and integrity” of Bondi to reflect the immorality and corruption for which she and Trump are so well known.

Trump Mouthpiece Whines that the Epstein Story Gets More Press than Trump ‘Winning’ the Shutdown

This week has seen a couple of significant stories competing for the attention of the media. One of them is the end of the longest government shutdown in United States history, which broke the record set by Donald Trump in his first occupation of the White House. The other story is the Jeffrey Epstein emails that implicate Trump in his pedophilia activities.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

Both of those are important stories to keep the public informed about the state of the government and the affairs (no pun intended) of the president. However, one of them is weighed down by the dull details of economics, while the other is bursting with the excitement of scandal and melodrama. So take a guess. Which one is the media most anxious to cover? And subsequently, which one is the Trump regime most worried about?

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

That’s right. Trump has been working feverishly to suppress any media mentions of the Epstein story. He is blasting the press for promoting what he calls a “hoax” (as usual). And he is pressuring his MAGA minions in Congress to deep six the issue. Meanwhile, he is hardly talking about the shutdown at all. As of this writing, he hasn’t posted a single comment on it in more than 24 hours on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. But not to worry. His Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is on the job. She tweeted Tuesday morning that…

“If not for the Jeffrey Epstein story, CNN would be forced to talk about how Chuck Schumer and the Democrats got shellacked by President Trump and Republicans in the government shutdown fight. It’s clear this is another Democrat + Mainstream Media hoax.”

See? The Epstein story is just another hoax that is being spun by the fake news. And if Epstein’s emails, that tell of Trump having spent hours with an Epstein victim in Epstein’s home, weren’t revealed, we would all be “forced” to talk about Trump’s magnificence at “shellacking” the Democrats.

The problem with Leavitt’s argument, besides her callous dismissal of the gross and potentially illegal behavior of Trump, is that there was no “shellacking” of Democrats to brag about. To the contrary, Democrats crushed Trump and his MAGA Republicans by raising the issue of healthcare to the top of the news cycle.

Democrats also succeeded in attributing the blame for the shutdown – and all of the harm it has caused for the American people – to Trump and the GOP in Congress. They also insured that a vote will be held to hold the GOP accountable for the skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums. They also secured funding for SNAP for a full year.

To be sure, there are problems with the agreement to open the government, but they pale in comparisons to the gains, and they will be brought up again in two months when this Continuing Resolution expires.

The bottom line is that compassionate Democrats compromised in order to get SNAP funding for children, seniors, and others flowing. While simultaneously putting the cruelty of Trump and the Republicans on display. And the evidence of that was shown in the latest polls that have Trump underwater on every major issue, particularly the economy and the Epstein files…

TRUMP IS TOAST!CNN's Harry Enten: "Trump is 39 points below water on the Epstein case. […] Less than half of Republicans are buying it."Also, Trump is losing BIGLY on every one of these other issues. How can his MAGA Republicans continue to back him?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-13T18:00:13.739Z

If these numbers hold – or more likely worsen – for the MAGA movement, there will be a massive blue tsunami next November. And while Democrats get most of the credit for that, Republicans can take some pride in knowing that they were at least partially responsible for sinking their own ship.

Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

Donald Trump and his MAGA Minions have been pulling out all the stops to protect him, and any other adjacent pedophiles, from the revelations that are lurking in the “Justice” Department’s files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Their determination to keep those files secret belie their claims that they would prove Trump’s innocence. If that were true, they would have released them long ago.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

On Wednesday a new batch of Epstein’s emails were made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. They revealed more about how deeply Epstein and Trump were connected. So naturally, Trump Propaganda Secretary, Karoline had to make an appearance in the White House Press Briefing Room to lie about the emails and Trump’s frequent mentions in them. It’s what she has been been doing – very badly – for months…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Among the disclosures about Trump in the emails was Epstein’s statement that one of his victims “spent hours at my house with him [Trump],” and that “Of course he knew about the girls.” At the press briefing Leavitt was asked about the emails by CBS News Senior White House Correspondent, Weijia Jiang.

Jiang: Separate from why you believe these emails were made public, can you address their substance? Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein’s house with a victim?
Leavitt: These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar a Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.

JIANG: Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein's house with a victim?LEAVITT: These emails prove absolutely nothing, other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-12T18:42:41.662Z

Notice that Leavitt conspicuously didn’t answer the question regarding Trump spending hours with the victim at Epstein’s home. Instead, she made a blanket denial, bizarrely claiming that the emails proved that Trump did nothing wrong. Where exactly they said that is a mystery. She went on to repeat the lie that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago because he was a “pedophile and a creep.”

However there is no evidence of that being the reason for the fallout between them. Trump didn’t even say that. What Trump said was that he booted Epstein for “stealing” his girls from the Mar-a-Lago spa. Although other witnesses have testified that Trump booted Epstein because Epstein tried to cheat Trump out of a real estate deal. PBS published a detailed timeline of these events.

In a statement to the press, Leavitt accused the Democrats of having “selectively leaked emails [to] create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.” She elaborated that…

“These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments. And any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”

If Leavitt is worried about Democrats making selective leaks, she could easily solve that problem by having her boss release everything. But for some reason, they aren’t doing that. Instead, she’s calling the whole thing a “hoax,” which is Trump’s description of any truth that reveals his corruption and dishonesty. For his part, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, whining that…

“The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap […] There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else.”

For the record, The Epstein matter is being brought up on a bipartisan basis. Several notable Republican Trump supporters are pressing the administration to release all of the Epstein files, including Marjorie Taylor Green, Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert. Trump’s comment above is his passive-aggressive threat to them to fall in line or suffer his wrath. Will it work? Stay tuned.

Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans in Congress have orchestrated and maintained a government shutdown for more than a month now. They have yet to articulate a coherent reason for doing so, other than their ludicrous lie that they are preventing Democrats from giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants. For the record, no Democrat has advocated or proposed that.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

In reality, what Democrats are fighting for is to prevent the GOP from destroying the Affordable Care Act – aka Obamacare – and allowing healthcare costs to skyrocket for American citizens. Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to cast the blame on Democrats, despite the fact that Republicans are in control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency. They really believe that the American people are stupid enough to buy their blatant propaganda.

SEE THIS: The MAGA Response to Trump’s ‘Poop on America’ Video is Worse than the Disgusting Video Itself

GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has refused to open up the House of Representatives for business, leaning on the government shutdown that he and his colleagues created as an excuse. The two things have nothing to do with each other. There is no reason Congress cannot be in session during a shutdown. After all, they are all getting paid.

The obvious reason that Johnson is putting the House on pause is that he doesn’t want to swear in a newly elected Democratic member, Adelita Grijalva. She would make the 218th signature on a discharge petition that would require the House to vote on releasing the files of the late child sex trafficker, and friend of Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein. Of course, Johnson and his minions are denying that.

However, their denials don’t pass the smell test. The latest made up justification for avoiding doing the people’s business is to rewrite the history of the Democratic efforts to release the Epstein files. On Tuesday morning Johnson told reporters that…

“Democrats did not say one word about the Epstein files during the entire Biden presidency. They had all the files in the Biden DoJ. They didn’t say a word about it. Four years. Not a word. And suddenly now, they’ve somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they’ve imagined, and so they feign outrage.”

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-21T14:17:09.024Z

Nothing that Johnson said there is remotely truthful. PolitiFact did an extensive review of the timeline of the Democratic efforts to reveal the truth about the Epstein affair. What they found was entirely contrary to Johnson’s fallacious rambling…

“Starting in 2019, but before Epstein’s arrest that year on federal sex trafficking charges, some Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Lois Frankel and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, both of south Florida, launched a years long quest to release Epstein records.

“The Democrats called for former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who served as labor secretary during Trump’s first term, to testify about Epstein’s plea deal. They asked the Justice Department to investigate and release records. Democrats later pursued other strategies, including asking a Palm Beach, Florida, judge to release records.”

That’s a far cry from Johnson’s deliberately dishonest claim that “They didn’t say a word about it.” Not that Johnson or his Republican cohorts care about honesty. The notoriously dishonest Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, also weighed in saying that…

“The Democrats don’t care about transparency or accountability in this matter. The evidence we’ve gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein.”

Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-21T14:27:36.987Z

If Republicans actually have evidence that Trump is not implicated in the Epstein files, you really have to wonder why they are working so hard to avoid releasing them and exonerating their Dear Leader. In fact, if they actually had such evidence, they would have released the files months or years ago. And that’s even more true if they also have evidence that implicates former President Bill Clinton.

It’s hard to image that Republicans have any proof that Clinton “had far closer ties to Epstein” when there are years of photographic evidence of Trump and Epstein’s close friendship, but nothing similar with Clinton. Epstein was a frequent guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The only documentation of Clinton’s association with Epstein was that he used his plane, mostly for legitimate business related to the charitable Clinton Foundation. There is zero evidence of anything else. And it was the Trump administration that put Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, up in a Club Fed prison after she agreed not to implicate Trump in her dirty business.

If Trump and Johnson and the rest of the MAGA Klan really want to put the Epstein matter behind them, then they should release the files and take whatever heat happens to come their way. But they are clearly too afraid to do that. And the American people can see their fear. They can also see that Democrats aren’t the least bit afraid of demanding a full accounting and release of all the files. What does that tell you?

Crybaby Trump’s Hysterical Posting that He’s Suing the New York Times for Hurting His Feelings

There has never been an American president whose skin was as thin as whiny baby Donald Trump. He rarely takes a rest from complaining about how horribly offended he is over even the most mild criticism or disagreement. And he lashes out petulantly at whoever dared to utter that insult.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

On Tuesday morning Trump provided yet another demonstration of his emotional tenderness with his announcement that he is suing the New York Times for … well, who knows what? He’s calling it defamation, but his filing doesn’t contain a single example of anything defamatory published by the Times. It’s just a hodgepodge of gripes about legitimate expressions of opinion that are based on his verifiable conduct. And there is nothing he hates more than accurate reporting about what he does and says.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

In the tediously long posting to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump wrote in part that…

“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party.”

Trump’s bizarre “Great Honor” to sue the Times is notable for committing the same sort of defamation that he is accusing the Times of. If required to prove his allegation that the Times is “degenerate” or “a virtual ‘mouthpiece'” for Democrats, he would come up pitifully short. And even if it were true, it’s perfectly legal under the Constitution’s First Amendment. But Trump was just getting started. He also wrote that…

“Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!”

Once again, if true it would be the prerogative of the Times to endorse anyone they want, in any manner they choose. But for the record, Trump is lying. The Times endorsement of Harris was only in the Opinion section, not the front page. And there was nothing “UNHEARD OF” about it. And then he continued…

“…our successful litigation against George Slopadopoulos/ABC/Disney, and 60 Minutes/CBS/Paramount”

Setting aside Trump’s infantile nickname for George Stephanopoulos, he is lying yet again. He did not have a “successful litigation” against Disney or Paramount. Neither case ever went to trial. They both settled due to their cowardly fear of Trump interfering with their businesses, which he threatened to do. And they both had pending transactions that relied on approvals from the federal government. So they settled in order to appease Trump. Even so, the amounts were mere fractions of what Trump sued them for. And finally, Trump revealed that…

“The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida.”

This is an obvious effort to judge-shop in the more friendly Florida pool of conservative judges, rather than the actual location of the suit’s target in New York.

Since Trump’s lawsuit fails to identify any false or defamatory statements by the Times, what is Trump really whining about? Well, last week he threatened bring a suit over a Times story about the now infamous “birthday card” to Jeffrey Epstein that included a note from Trump. He is already suing the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion for the same thing. Trump has denied that the card existed, even after it was released by the Epstein estate. So this is more performative bullpucky, and intimidation. For it’s part, the Times responded saying that…

The New York Times responded to Trump’s lawsuit saying that “This lawsuit has no merit. It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting. The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics. We will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists’ First Amendment right to ask questions on behalf of the American people.”

We’ll see. Many others have capitulated. Although the record shows that, more often than not, when a party to a Trump lawsuit chose to fight back, they won. Because in the end, Trump is just a phony who puts on a facade of toughness that he has never lived up to. In fact, he has provided a better description of himself when he bragged that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really…

UPDATE: Trump’s lawsuit against the New York Times was thrown out of court only two days after it was filed. The ruled that “it “unmistakably and inexcusably”that the courts are violated the rules that govern civil lawsuits, and “not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.”

Crybaby Trump Posts a Rambling Rant Begging People to Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein

On Friday morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly report on jobs for August 2025. The numbers were a painfully low 22,000, missing economist’s predictions of 75,000. However, they were consistent with the poor performance that Donald Trump has delivered for each of the past seven months since his reoccupation of the White House.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Twitter

This report was prepared after Trump fired the head of the BLS last month because he didn’t like the terrible results reported then. It’s what Trump does whenever he’s not satisfied that government agencies are lavishing sufficient praise on him that he doesn’t deserve.

FOR INSTANCE: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

Trump generally responds to this sort of news with wildly incoherent harangues posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion, however, he posted nothing about the report at all. What he did post was a tediously long screed about the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

So Trump was so worried about the potential harm from the abysmal jobs report that he poured more fuel on the Epstein fire that he has been trying desperately to extinguish for several weeks. What follows are a few select excerpts with annotations.

“[Democrats] did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!”
Those are, of course, all things done by Republicans and politically unaffiliated wealthy men. Most notably, Donald Trump himself. Also, many Democrats were calling the release of the Epstein files since way back when he died in prison.

“[Democrats], out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims.”
Which even now, Trump and the GOP are incapable of. To the contrary, he has been disparaging the victims as liars and perpetrators of a hoax.

“Where were they during his very public trials?”
Trump is hallucinating again. Epstein never stood for trial. He agreed to a controversial plea bargain on state charges in 2008 (negotiated with Trump’s current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his former Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta). Then he died before his federal trial on sex trafficking on Trump’s watch in 2019.

“The now dying…Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats.”
The case was revived by Trump’s reelection and his appointment of Bondi and Kash Patel (FBI Director). Trump, Bondi, and Patel were all loud advocates for releasing all of the Epstein files during the 2024 campaign. But they all abandoned that position after taking office. That led to mostly Trump supporters, not Democrats, demanding that they keep their campaign promises.

“[T]he DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress! […] The Department of Justice has done its job, they have given everything requested of them.”
Trump and his Justice Department have twice released thousands of pages of documents that were already public. And even those amount to a tiny percentage (about 3%) of the total, which also includes videos. It is a far cry from “everything requested.”

“This is merely another Democrat HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the others, in order to deflect and distract from the great success of a Republican President.”
Tell that to the victims. Oh, wait. He did. And as for his “great success,” he’s proven that with the latest jobs report, along with his failure to lower the cost of living, end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, or fulfill any of his other promises, except for harassing immigrants and persecuting his political foes.

“It’s time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”
This can be done by Trump simply directing the DoJ to release all of the Epstein files, that he still refuses to do. What is he so afraid of? And his repetitious use of the “hoax” label for everything that he disputes has become cartoonishly comical.

So in his attempt to deflect from how badly he has botched his duty to create jobs for the American people, he has managed to steer attention to Epstein, the subject that he was previously working so hard to deflect from. Now both of these fiascos are uppermost on the minds of the American public. Nice Work, Donnie.

Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant. So He Flipped on Epstein to Save Himself?

For several weeks the top story in the news has been how Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP have refused to release the Jeffrey Epstein files that are in the custody of the Justice Department. And for several weeks Trump has whined that it is an irrelevant subject that should be ignored in favor of the glassy-eyed praise that he believes he is due for merely existing.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

In the midst of this controversy, some of Epstein’s victims held a press conference in Washington on Wednesday to advocate for the release of the files, and accountability for the predators who patronized him and the politicians who continue to protect him. And still, Trump can’t understand why the media isn’t fixated on his divine magnificence.

One of the pro-Trump pols who is a longtime member of the Trump Cult, Nancy Mace, was observed on Tuesday leaving a closed-door session on Capitol Hill, during which some members of the House Oversight Committee heard testimony from Epstein’s victims. Mace reportedly had tears in her eyes and later posted a comment on Twitter/X saying that…

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.”

That’s seems like a heartfelt reaction by someone who has suffered a similar abusive experience. The problem is that Mace is still an apologist for the vile sex offender Trump, who she believes to be as pure as the Virgin Mary. With regard to Trump and Epstein, she told reporters that…

“Donald Trump is the one who banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant, and he talked to the feds to get this guy turned over. So Donald Trump is a hero in this.”

WHUT? Nancy Mace says Trump was "an FBI informant"?That would mean that Trump had incriminating info about Epstein. Which sounds like he was Epstein's partner or client and "talked to the feds" to avoid prosecution. He's no hero. If he were, he'd have released those files long ago.

A “hero”? That would be like calling Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, who committed at least 19 murders, a hero for turning state’s evidence against his boss, Mafia kingpin John Gotti. What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn’t involved in some way?

Mace is introducing the possibility that Trump turned state’s evidence against Epstein in order to save himself. Which sounds like he could have been Epstein’s partner or client and “talked to the feds” to avoid prosecution. He’s no hero. If he were, he’d have released those files long ago so that he could bask in the glory of his heroics.

Meanwhile, as Epstein’s victims were speaking out, Trump was calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he exalted himself with his totally fake “Seven Wars Hoax,” that he claims are conflicts that he prevented or ended, but which he generally brings up when he needs to change the subject.

DISGUSTING!As Epstein's victims are speaking out, Trump is calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he's exalting himself with his totally fake "Seven Wars Hoax" in order to change the subject.

The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.

The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump’s demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.

Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We’ll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP.

UPDATE: GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has joined Mace making the preposterous assertion that Trump was an FBI informant in the probe of Epstein. Both are saying this without a shred of evidence. Both are ignoring that Trump would have to have some knowledge of Epstein’s crimes in order to be an informant. And if it were true, it would be in the files that Trump is so feverishly trying to keep secret.

HOLY SHIH TZU! A couple of days ago, MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace said that Trump was an FBI informant. Which means he had to know about Epstein's crimes. And it would be in the files that he is trying to keep secret. #TrumpEpsteinFilesMORE HERE: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=67342

MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

SEE THIS: Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-24T00:17:23.360Z

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

Trump’s Intel Boss Can’t Cite Any Evidence Tying Obama to Her Phony ‘Russia Hoax’ on Fox News

The past few weeks have seen Donald Trump and his Garrulous Gaslight Gang scampering frantically to shift America’s attention from his abhorrent and aberrant relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to anything else. They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this mission of mercenary misinformation and malice.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

The panic sweat is dripping from the brows of the Trump flunkies as they try to peddle their all too obvious distractions. They run the gamut from trivialities like the wholly concocted controversies about the jeans of Sydney Sweeney, to the inflation inducing Trump taxes (aka tariffs), to more disturbing and utterly bogus allegations of treason by President Obama and others.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

What the Trump regime operatives are calling the “Russia Hoax” has taken center stage, as they flock to Fox News every day to spread their blatant nonsense. And leading the charge is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and bona fide Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard. On Tuesday night Gabbard visited with Fox News Trump-fluffer, Laura Ingraham, who asked a surprisingly relevant question. But predictably, she didn’t get anything resembling a coherent answer…

Ingraham: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia Hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence for our viewers tonight?
Gabbard: Laura, you know, as you were playing those clips of these people like Morning Joe [Scarborough] seemingly befuddled, saying that by no account is any of this true. I would challenge them to see if they’ve actually read the documents, every single page of the documents that we’ve released over the last couple of weeks.

Whereupon, Gabbard invited the Fox News viewers to read a bunch of garbage that she posted online. As if they would – or can – read. But she didn’t bother to provide any of the allegedly “irrefutable evidence” that Ingraham asked for. All of the information that she has presented previously – online or on the air – has been entirely devoid of any factual basis.

Nevertheless, Gabbard went on to tell Ingraham that the online docs would reveal “how President Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called to talk about Russia.” She claimed that Obama tasked his Intel staff to alter the substance of their reporting on Russia’s well documented interference in the 2016 presidential election. Then she continued, brazenly lying that…

“Per the president’s direction, per the president’s order, and very specifically, they were tasked to create an intelligence assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how. And this was the beginning of this manufactured intelligence assessment where they knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.”

To reiterate, Gabbard has still not fulfilled Ingraham’s request for some actual evidence. But now she is asserting, without any proof, that Obama and his staff altered and released falsified data. Not only was the data not false, it was corroborated by the Senate Intelligence Committee five years ago when it was chaired by Republicans, including Trump’s current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee report said that

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

Even Gabbard’s own comments suggest that the Obama did nothing wrong. She notes that Obama asked that the reports include how “Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how.” She’s implying that there is something untoward about that. But it’s only because the “if” was not in doubt. Russia definitely tried to influence the election. Obama wanted to make sure that their methods (the “how”) were also included in the report. That’s real honesty and transparency.

For his part, Trump helped to keep all of this in the news with a new comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In what appears to be his transcript of what Gabbard said on Fox News, Trump wrote that

“Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called… They were tasked to create an Intelligence Assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election—not ‘if’—but ‘how’… They knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.'”

If nothing else, we have additional confirmation that Trump spends an inordinate amount of his time watching his minions talk about him on Fox News. However, the truly troubling aspects of this go much deeper. Just in the past week we have seen the weaponizing of the law by Trump’s Justice Department and his MAGA contingent in Congress.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi has launched a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election.” And GOP Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has issued subpoenas for depositions from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

So Bondi and Comer are joining Gabbard in the quest for evidence-free persecution of Democrats and other critics of Dear Leader Trump. None of them actually present any of their imaginary evidence. But they bellow about it publicly in an attempt to get their cult followers and the media to pay attention to their fabrications. And of course, to draw attention away from Epstein and Maxwell and Trump.

The good news is that it isn’t working. The American people – including many Trump supporters – still want the truth to be revealed. They aren’t buying the misdirection tactics. And the pathetic and desperate determination of the Trumpists just makes them look all the more ridiculous.
