reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Donald Trump has never been particularly critical of the Saudis, and he has always been very clear about the reasons why.

Trump COULD have just ordered their release; instead, he called a woman a pig when she suggested he should
It's a key tell that Trump propagandists are now claiming not just that he wants the Epstein files released, but also that they're getting released ONLY BECAUSE HE ORDERED IT TO HAPPEN. For Trump, the *perception* of his mastery over the GOP is what matters most.

This. This all day.
Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

The stoop. The ridiculous make up line. The tiny old man hand. The darkness. With the American flag in a heap on the ground. Truly, it could be his official presidential portrait. 🫠
If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

At least three weeks

I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

The Saudis are meeting with Trump tomorrow. There is a lot they want from the US govt. And they have been enriching Trump and his family over the past several months with one deal after another to make sure they get it. Something tells me they will get what they want.

Trump just spent months attacking everyone who wanted the Epstein files released and now before it’s about to happen he suddenly changes his stance? He must have multiple personality disorder but all of his personalities are evil pieces of shit so it’s hard to tell.

The Administration is finally admitting the truth: tariffs are taxes, and the American people are suffering from rising costs.

Between affordability to the election losses to the Epstein files, this has been a terrible couple of weeks for Trump and the MAGA movement.

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

Omg.

The BU College Republicans guy who called ICE on car wash workers bc they are “stealing jobs from Americans” was born and raised in … another country.
Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer.

Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄
