Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the [missing]
ce of a bar-stool
drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.
Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before
money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y6ngpjmjdinnv7c3umzqs652/bafkreigh6gbicovaoqswwpyx6ee5tg4wyue46iksbcvcl7lsqeh6mrubwi@jpeg)

It’s actually not technically a leak. CBS News only operates in the US. A non-PSKY owned network Global TV has Canadian rights for 60 Minutes and aired it unedited since the call to pull the episode was made so late in the day. That broadcast was recorded and then shared across the internet.

After killing the CECOT story in the USA, CBS goofed and aired it in Canada. Now, as Canadians are uploading it to YouTube, CBS is filing copyright violations to block its further release.
But it's too late. Under Bari Weiss, CBS is state run media desperately cosplaying as legitimate journalism.

President Trump has tried to minimize his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Documents and interviews that The New York Times conducted with more than 30 former Epstein employees, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with the two men reveal an intense and complicated relationship.
