Oh please, Mr. Trump—spare us the tantrum. You don’t get to play the victim now. You bragged about grabbing women “by the pussy,” were found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and spent decades sleazing your way through pageants and parties with Epstein by your side. The photos don’t lie—there you are, pointing out girls in a crowd like they’re menu items, whispering to Epstein like it’s just another Friday night. And now you’re calling your own MAGA followers “weaklings” for wanting the truth? The truth you promised to reveal?

Let’s be clear: the Epstein files aren’t some "hoax" or "scam"—they’re about justice for the girls trafficked and abused by monsters hiding in plain sight. Monsters you kept company with. Ghislaine Maxwell didn’t operate alone. And your sudden amnesia about your “past” with Epstein reeks of fear—not innocence.

You’ve been a walking scandal your entire life. If there’s nothing to hide, release the files. Otherwise, your silence screams complicity.

I love “a walking scandal your whole life”. Perfect. And he knows it and hates himself.

Trump doesn't hate himself; he hates the people who are bringing the Epstein scandal up again! That is why he is lashing out at the very people who voted him in office! As he once said, in the story of the lady who befriends the snake, "you always knew that I was a snake". Yes Donald, you are a slithering snake, awaiting the time to strike again! It's time to cut the snake's head off!

I agree he hates a lot of people.

Probably most people. But I do think he hates himself for not being able to be popular and liked. He knows people hate him, and although he may act like he doesn’t care, he does really care. He can never be the person that he wants to be.

When I see him on TV, he seems to always look angry! So does his wife! When they do smile, it looks so forced. They both have so much; a family, the White House, money, but not happiness! It is true, money can't buy everything! Their hearts are as hard as rock! That is why Trump can treat people as less than animals in a cage! Do you ever see him hug? Does his grandchildren run up to them for a hug or a kiss? Does he even know what love is? He is a sad creature!

Thank You Steve..The story about the child is horrible .. This seems to be the world we are living in now. It is a relentless stream of insanity. Forget about the democrats... where is the conscience of the Republican Senators and Republican congressman. No matter the injustice they go along. Not one has a red line they won't cross for the lunatic. He sits there babbling in front of world leaders .. Making stuff up about his uncle being the una bombers teacher at MIT.. Ted never went there ..As we crumble and stumble no one with power does anything ..nothing. It is time to hold the GOP Senate and Congress responsible for so much of this.

Trump is the devil himself! Satan is cunning; Satan is a liar; Satan uses and abuses; Satan is a bully. And because Satan/Trump is all of these things, it is easy to succumb to Satan's/Trump's wishes-"I'll give you this, if you give me your soul/loyalty". Satan/Trump may win in this world, but not in the next; and for Trump, the next life is just around the corner! Meanwhile, he will try to do as much damage as he can! Stay alert!

When Trump is cornered he deflects. Smoke and mirrors! So he accused Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud,

he says he will take Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship away.

He blames the Epstein info on Biden, Obama and Cinton and calls it a hoax even though there are more pictures of him and Epstein than of him and his kids.

He says that Biden appointed Jerome Powell even though Trump did.

Why isn’t this on every media channel? They’re afraid Trump will sue them ! Such cowards.

I don’t even watch MSM anymore. Even the cable news!

Can someone call CNN and ask Jake Tapper when he’s starting his book on Trump’s cognitive decline?

At 79 plus years it's called age related inflammation, and cognitive impairment, the patient never recognizes it and with Trump he will deny it, anyways.

Uncle Paul's avatar

“Age-related” inflammation? Well, If the aged person is to any-degree overweight, de-conditioned, sedentary, and/or intellectually inert, drug-addicted or a smoker, the strategy will be to: 1) reduce body weight to a normal range, (18.5 - 24.9); 2)walk briskly more than 30 minutes per day; run fast more than 20 minutes 3 - 5 days per week; cycle fast more than 60 minutes 4 - 6 days per week; limit ‘sitting’ time to less than two hours per day every day; limit ‘screen-time’ to less than two hours per day; resist mental decline by reading, singing, doing puzzles, engaging in face-to-face conversations with people, playing a musical instrument — and more. Also, we are, all of us experienced with ‘addiction’, whether it be very mild: a “passing fancy”, essential oils, or coffee — or a life-threatening physical addiction like alcohol, cigarettes, & inhaled or injected street drugs”, the advice to oneself needs to be ‘Let-go’, ‘let-go’, let-go’. And to do this each and every day for as long as we remain alive.

The only thing being reported right now is the mid-decade gerrymandering changes TX is working on. Right out in the open. That is undoubtedly not the only thing they are doing, and they are not the only state. Some are removing professional election workers (during a time when many have long since resigned for obvious reasons), in order to replace them with trump loyalists. Some are eliminating early and/or mail in voting, or limiting the number of polling stations. The most egregious are changing election registration rules. Check out the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act, proposed federal legislation which apparently has passed in the US House but is currently going through the Senate. (If a married woman's last name no longer matches her birth certificate, she will need to jump through hoops to ensure authenticity..) And of course there's always the concern re voting machine tampering. I keep wondering what each state's election officials have been doing to protect their systems, workers, and citizens, which can't be easy in many states.

Not sure what is happening faster to the old man--the undeniable dementia (the crazy remarks in Pittsburgh about MIT and the Unabomber) or the likely congestive heart failure due a family history of heart disease and a lack of exercise, prolonged sitting, and poor diet. Maybe the 25th amendment is in play?

Magalogic isn't a word in the dictionary yet, but perhaps will be in the future, as synonymous with delusional, or simply illogical.

What am I missing here? The MAGA base wants to see the files. Donald Trump tells them it's all a hoax and to sit down and shut up. There are only two dots to connect here, yet his base still thinks there's a "deep state conspiracy" in those files. How long will it take MAGA supporters to concoct another pretext for exonerating their leader? Maybe this is a bridge too far even for them, but I wouldn't count on it.

I have zero (ZERO) faith that Liar, Fraud, Con, Criminal Trump will agree to release, or order the the DOJ to release, ALL of the evidence that the DOJ has in its possession about the Epstein investigation. Key word being "ALL."

Liar, Fraud, Con, Criminal Trump is now using the word "credible" rather than using the word "all." And, he is doing that to HIDE everything that the DOJ gathered up. You can bet your ass that he will instruct Liar, Fraud Bondi to never release ANY document that includes his name. This ploy is exactly what criminals like Trump do - HIDE THE FACTS. Documents that are released will either be heavily redacted or pages will be missing.

Here is something from prevention.com that gives a start at understanding conditions such as double-ankle edema, lymph edema, etc.

If there are healthcare professionals in the house, I, for one, would value hearing from them.

There are potentially serious medical issues afoot here.
