In Washington, Democratic politicians are calling for a congressional investigation, while in New York; the Writers’ Guild is asking New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for a state probe. No, the issue is not the use of the autopen by Biden staff to carry out presidential functions or the crisis in public education. No, it is the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” by CBS.
The outrage over the show’s cancellation is the latest example of presumed entitlement from the left, which suggests that the government, universities, and corporations should subsidize their preferred news and entertainment. Call it the NPR syndrome.
I wrote this weekend about the withdrawal of the government subsidy for NPR and the outrage of its overwhelmingly white, affluent, and liberal audience. Democrats in Congress and NPR’s shrinking listeners were appalled that the American taxpayers would not be required to fund the overwhelmingly liberal outlet. It appears that they are entitled to such federal money even though NPR is dropping in both its audience and revenues.
The outrage of Democratic politicians is hardly surprising. Like NPR, The Late Night Show was used to amplify Democratic talking points. Some of those objecting the loudest were favored guests. Indeed, the show had long ago traded the comedic stylings of prior guests like George Carlin and Don Rickles for the knee-slapping standups of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D., Cal.).
As Joe Concha recently noted, Warren, 76, appeared 16 times during the show’s ten-year run.
He offered a funereal opening after Trump’s election:
Colbert turned his monologues into diatribes against Donald Trump, Republicans, and most everyone to the right of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., NY), another regular guest. Socialist Bernie Sander (I., VT) was one of Colbert’s most frequent guests followed by figures such as CBS anchor Gayle King (14 appearances), CNN anchor Jake Tapper (12 appearances), and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow (8 appearances). Note figures like Tapper had their own collapsing ratings but were still regulars for Colbert.
It did not matter that over half of this country is conservative or libertarian or that over 77 million Americans voted for Trump.
This cringeworthy video is effectively what the audience saw every night as Colbert sought to repackage comedy with orthodoxy:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote on X that “America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.” She is right but an investigation is the last thing that liberals should want.
While many are pushing the false claim that the Late Show was a roaring success and number one among late night talk shows, the fact is that Colbert had run the show into the ground.
As Charles Gasparino discussed recently, the show was imposing “punishing losses — pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year” on Paramount at a time when the parent company was trying to sell CBS.
Colbert publicly slammed his employer on the show in settling a case with Trump for $16 million.
However, Colbert seemed more obsessed with pushing his political message than ratings.
Media companies are not in the habit of cancelling profit-making, successful shows, particularly not CBS which has just two prime time shows in the Top 15.
The fact is that Colbert was over paid and underperforming.
Colbert was reportedly pulling in between $15-$20 million as his show was losing $40 million a year. The show had over 100 staffers and cost $130 million to produce.
Advertisers had fled the show, clearly seeing Colbert’s shrinking audience as not a draw for spots. It is a pattern seen on the other largely left-leaning shows.
As Concha noted: “late-night shows on ABC, NBC, and CBS earned $439 million in ad revenue in 2018 combined, but just $220 million in 2024. That’s a 50% decline in less than seven years.”
In comparison, Greg Gutfeld had long trounced Colbert and the other late night shows with a relatively small staff and budget. Viewers were flocking to Fox for his content as the other late night show with a conservative perspective.
Yet, there remains the outrage. Liberal politicians and viewers seem to believe that they are entitled to shows, movies and news programs that maintain their echo chamber. Likewise, celebrities such as Rachel Zegler cratered their movies with controversial political declarations.
Now, despite losing tens of millions of dollars a year, liberals seem to believe that Paramount should subsidize an unfunny show with declining viewership. It is the same mentality of Washington Post writers who were outraged when their new editor told that that they were losing money and “people are not reading your stuff.” They expected billionaire Jeff Bezos to run the Post like a vanity project regardless of their losses or that they were primarily writing for each other. They were wrong just as Colbert was wrong.
Colbert believed that he could tailor his show to less than half of the country and bring in a slew of liberal politicians and media figures who were themselves losing elections and ratings. I cannot imagine why that business plan would fail.
I am surprised that CBS didn’t fire his ass after his attacking management. That is good cause for firing. Cut the bleeding now instead of letting his contract run out next May. I cannot imagine that the new buyer will sit back and take another 15-30 million in losses, depending on the timing of the takeover.
There were 40 million reasons Colbert got canceled and not one of them had anything to do with President Trump.
‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ Was Losing $40 to $50 Million A Year According to Reports – cordcuttersnew
And, Colbert’s salary in 2025 is a whopping $15 million/year, and his ranking is a distant third behind his competitors. Cancellation makes great sense.
Can you even imagine waiting hours in line outside the iconic Ed Sullivan Theater only to get inside and have Doug Emhoff be one of the main guests?
Or these A-list headliners for late night comedy fun: screeching harridan, Liz Warren, Comrade Jamie Raskin, the despicable scumbag Adam Schiff, and the Queen of election deniers who still insists she ‘won’ and is the ‘real’ governor of Georgia?
Unreal. Colbert’s fans are a sick bunch of brainwashed rabid shlitlibs. They’re beyond pathetic. They’re just plain scary.
Juvenile, nasty name-calling is not necessary. Show respect for members of Congress.
Respect is earned, and none of his rogue’s gallery of nitwits have done anything to deserve it. I don’t see anything incorrect in his appellations of those various cretins. They call us much worse.
Colbert’s show was cancelled, but he gets to stay on-the-air for another 9 months? Why the long goodbye? Please, just end the deeply unfunny nightmare that is Colbert, already.
Also, for those who recognize the name Ben Rhodes, who is neck deep in the Obama Russiagate scandal, look up the name David Rhodes. Yes, Ben’s bro is the boss of Colbert who pushed propaganda trash on the public for 10 long years. Sick.
David Rhodes, CBS president. Colbert’s boss.
Brother of Ben Rhodes, wanna be fiction writer turned Obama deputy national security advisor, Iran deal architect and pathological liar…..and soon-to-be Russia-gate criminal doing prison time.
Here’s hoping Colbert swallows a shotgun over this. Subhuman communist trash deserves to die.
That’s pretty harsh emotional language. Colbert’s purpose is to annoy you and harm your peace. No other reason for a colbert show. When you react like that he’s fulfilled his purpose.
Do something else. Yes, it’s a creepy program and that’s it’s whole meaning.
The late great comic Jerry Lewis was asked his opinion about several young talents and when the interviewer said the name Stephen Colbert, Jerry said, “not funny.” Jerry called it accurately: Colbert is smug, elitist, partisan, condescending, and NOT FUNNY.
Bingo.
There are some really dark internet rumors going around about Colbert.
Those who ‘read energy’ can sense it.
There is a dark energy surrounding Colbert.
You can believe he’s a ‘nice guy’….but make no mistake, he’s not a ‘good’ guy.
“The truth will come out” as they say.
Re: “Call it the NPR syndrome.”
Pitch-perfect. Some would say that the fighting over the control of the Kennedy Center is a closely-related topic. When a government-supported national center for the performing arts concept was approved in the 1960’s, its (laudable) goal was to elevate the lean level of culture in the nation’s capital. Over the years, it became a political tug-of-war between culture-warriors seeking the lowest common denominator, and cultural elitists seeking to force-feed that which is supposed to be “for our own good”.
Current late night shows remind me of melodramas where one is expected to boo and hiss.
OT, on racial preferences in med school admissions:
“The Supreme Court banned racial preferences in university admissions, but finding ways to maintain them has become a cottage industry in higher education,” blasts The Wall Street Journal editorial board. Medical schools are one of the worst abusers. A new study finds “admitted black applicants had lower MCAT scores than admitted white and Asian applicants at 22 out of 23 schools.” At places like the University of Wisconsin, “a black medical school applicant was about 10 times more likely to be admitted than white or Asian applicants with identical test scores and GPA.” “In the admissions cycles since 2023, little has changed.” “Preferences that elevate less qualified doctors won’t reduce inequities in public health, but they will stigmatize successful minority applicants who excel.”
https://nypost.com/2025/07/20/opinion/iraq-syndrome-is-dead-why-pbs-amp-npr-had-to-go-and-other-commentary/
Nuts.
Libs destory eveything they touch.
Meritocracy. Low ratings mean you’re fired. Why can’t the Democrats grasp that?
They truly believe that they are entitled to other people’s money.
Race-conscious admissions backfire. A better solution is to elevate the educational skills of those from poor, underserved communities. We’ve seen powerful examples, among both Black Americans and other groups, including Jews in earlier generations, of individuals who rose from hardship, met high standards, and earned public trust through excellence. Respect doesn’t come from lowered bars. It comes from rising to meet them.
If your doctor isn’t White, get a new doctor. That has been my policy for years and I see no reason to change it.
The deranged Trump haters with TDS-fried brains are swarming this comment section leaving lots of smelly turds.
“Reports that federal workers were tasked with reviewing Jeffrey Epstein files to flag any mention of Donald Trump are indeed true, according to a legal expert on Sunday.”
This is bad, can someone, anyone (JT?) please talk about Hunters porn tapes?
…wake up, Anonymous… when will you learn that anonymous source-less reports, quotes, etc. are made up BS… and.. as far as the specifics here.. the Biden-Garland-Wray Machine would have used the Epstein files or lists against Trump in the Election if there was anything in there that would hurt him….
More lies as usual.
Hahaha, remember, 4 years of President Autopen, and oddly enough, nothing came out then about this. Almost makes one think that perhaps there’s nothing there of note regarding Trump. Which is an amazing coincidence, because there is nothing there.
Trump’s polls are actually going UP over this. You’re not just wasting your time flogging this dead horse, it’s having the opposite effect.
What would you MAGAS do if you didn’t have MAGA media to lie to you and Turley to spoon-feed you your daily affirmation ? Firing Colbert was part of a confidential settlement with Trump—isn’t it obvious? But Turley, a purchased advocate, has to turn it into an attack against Colbert instead of the ominous threat against free speech that it really is.
So is the Epstein matter a hoax? Trump says it is- that’s the exact word he used. Did all of those women who were deflowered of their virginity and dignity when they were 13 and 14 lie? Did the DVD showing their defilement lie? Why would so many of them tell the same story?
Trump says Obama made up the whole thing and he also called those of you MAGAS who are upset over his lie about releasing the entire Epstein file “stupid”.
He must really mean it when he calls his followers who are upset “stupid” because he commanded Pammie Jo Blondie to file a fake motion to release the grand jury transcript, which the court is not likely to grant and which wouldn’t implicate Trump because they didn’t need the evidence implicating Trump to get an indictment against Epstein or to convict Maxwell, whose case is on appeal— and that’s another reason why the court is not likely to release the grand jury information. Only a small portion of the evidence collected by the FBI was submitted to the grand jury. The 50th Birthday bound book with Trump’s letter and lewd drawing isn’t among the items submitted to the grand jury and Patel has FBI employees working around the clock to flag references to Trump in the Epstein files— in case Trump’s back is against the wall and he has to release some materials to stop hemorrhaging support.
As Senator Ossoff rhetorically asked: “did anyone really believe that Trump, given his years long friendship with Epstein and who himself engaged in sexual misconduct, was going to release information showing the rich and powerful molesting children?” Trump advocates for the richest and most powerful—even though he ran as an “anti- elite “. Here’s someone who took healthcare away from millions of the poorest Americans to give tax breaks to the wealthiest. Do you think he’s going to stop taking care of the wealthiest now? AND it is the wealthiest who victimized these .
Fortunately, the lies aren’t working. Most of his supporters have figured out that the promise to release the entire Epstein file was always a lie.
I have pictures of many Democrat politicians, including ”bl*wj*b Bill Clinton” w/ that pedo, Epstein. He made friends w/ many people. It does NOT mean they knew of his evil deeds. How many serial killers’ families do you hear about being shocked that the man/woman they thought they knew was a killer?
I know most are stunned. Pls sit this one out.
Stephanie: why do you MAGAs prove your devotion by doing the usual “whataboutism”? Why not respond to the FACTS instead of attacking people who write things you don’t like and for which you have no response? NO ONE cares about Bill Clinton–the issue is Trump lying to his MAGA base about releasing the full Epstein file–which he is NEVER going to do, and which he NEVER intended to do, so now, many of his MAGA followers have figured out what the rest of us have always known: he will do or say whatever it takes to get what he wants. He commanded his toadie “attorney general” to seek release of the grand jury transcript, knowing that it won’t likely be released, but even if it is, it won’t implicate him or the uber-wealthy that donated to his campaign. He commanded Kash Patel to sanitize the materials that were not submitted to the grand jury to remove references to him and probably to people he is closest to–but he will keep the latter information to use to leverage campaign contributions to Republicans whose seats are at risk and purchasers of his latest cryptoscam. What is there to “sit out”? Trump got caught in yet another lie—this time, it’s one that matters to his MAGA base. And, it should be noted that he used the word “hoax” to describe the Epstein pedophilia operation–the same word he used to describe his collusion with Russia.
MAGA MAGA MAGA
Get new material. You’re boring. At least mention Project 2025 once in a while.
“Get new material”? Not necessary. You’re the one who has no effective response to an excellent rebuttal.
What rebuttal? A bunch of disconnected rantings about “MAGA” this and “MAGA” that? You have no point, it’s not even worthy of a response, other than dismissal.
If there was actually damaging information about Trump and Epstein, why didn’t Obama or Biden release it when they were leaking everything else? Are you able to use basic logic? Or are you such an NPC you should do the world a favor and slit your wrists?
*. Correction, pedophilia involves prepubescent children. Adolescents fall into early , middle and late adolescent and some to age 23. Brain scans reveal brain development.
It’s exploitation of minors. It’s worldwide and rampant in South America and Southeast Asia currently. Many suffer kidnapping and death.
Americans should be prosecuted for foreign such tourism upon return. I’d like that law to be instituted. It’s heinous.
I don’t see anything about faking the moon landing in that rant. I’m disappointed.
Fortunately , your lies aren’t working.
How is that even possible? A crap show like that needs 100 staffers? Why?
“Colbert was reportedly pulling in between $15-$20 million as his show was losing $40 million a year. The show had over 100 staffers and cost $130 million to produce.”
Donny Boy loves his women…
Jill Harth, Houraney’s then-girlfriend, later accused Trump of forcibly kissing her and fondling her, and keeping her from leaving the same night of the party.
In June, Elon Musk wrote on social media that Trump is listed in the Epstein files and that’s why they haven’t been made public.
In a July 10 memo, the FBI wrote there was no evidence Epstein had a “client list.”
And on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had sent Epstein a racy hand-drawn birthday note for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Trump announced Friday he was suing the paper’s reporters and owner, Rupert Murdoch, over the story.
July 11, the day the trump administration became the deep state.
You’re a pathetic joke. There is no list. The letter is fake. Nice try though but the MAGA folks aren’t buying it.
I am beginning to think that Epstein was just having a good time with all his girls and getting rich guys to partake and fund his lavish lifestyle, and his sidekick, Jizzelane, was the Mossad operative, just like her father.
*. Jan Hoch aka Robert Maxwell fought in the Czech resistance of nazi Germany after the invasion of Poland and into Czechoslovakua. Greece fell as did Belgium and Nordic nations fighting to survive. Maxwell made it to the UK enlisted in the British army and continued to fight. WWII.
After the war he became a billionaire publisher with 9 children , Ghislaine the youngest. His death remains suspicious.
You?
Here are some trump quotes for you to chew on. Maybe trump is pathetic? Naw…
“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” — from an interview with Esquire, 1991
“I mean, we could say politically correct that look doesn’t matter, but the look obviously matters,” Trump said to a female reporter in a clip featured on “Last Week Tonight.” “Like you wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.”
When a lawyer facing Trump in 2011 asked for a break to pump breastmilk for her infant daughter, The Donald reacted very poorly. “He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, ‘You’re disgusting, you’re disgusting,’ and he ran out of there,” attorney Elizabeth Beck told CNN. Trump’s attorney does not dispute that his client called Beck “disgusting.”
If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” @realDonaldTrump #2016president”
Trump said about himself one time. “Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.”
“All of the women on ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”– How To Get Rich, 2004
Trump says,”I am going to be dating her in ten years. Can you believe it?” after talking to a 10 year old on an escalator.
That time he told a female contestant on “The Apprentice,” she would look good on her knees. “It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.”
On his daughter Ivanka Trump: “Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…”
“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it, you can do anything. Grab them by the pussy, you can do anything.” – Donald Trump
He told a female lawyer “you’re disgusting,” when she requested a break to breast feed her 3 month old baby.
Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. […] You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I’ve been very good. – djt
In a 2016 Buzzfeed News investigation, nearly half a dozen former contestants of Miss Teen USA claimed that Trump walked in on them changing — some of the girls in those rooms were reportedly 15 years old when it happened.
One incident reportedly occurred in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant. Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, recalled, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here’.” She then remembered Trump saying, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” Four other women also alleged that Trump entered the dressing room; eleven contestants that Buzzfeed reached said they did not recall him in the dressing room.
In 2016, a former Miss USA contestant, who was 18 years old at the time, said that Trump walked into their changing room: “Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis. He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.”
Talk. that is all that is. Talk, Trump’s a blowhard. That doesn’t make him a criminal.
34 convictions, dearie. Wake up.
Soon to be zero once the joke of a trial hits the appeals court. We all know it. The whole point of the farce to keep from from being re-elected. It failed. The fact that the sentencing was for nothing just shows what a joke of a show trial it all was. Everyone American should be offended that the left used our judicial system to try to railroad a presidential candidate, but you just don’t care. Dearie.
Every good American should be offended that Trump has fired federal appeals court judges as part of a personal vendetta and possibly to enable Project 2025 thus consolidating executive power a little at a time…but you don’t seem to care, sweet pee.
“Project 2025”
DRINK!!!!
What should I drink? 😃
More kool ade moron.
Those quotes PROVE that Trump could not possibly have had his reputation damaged to the extent of $10 billion, like he claims in the lawsuit he filed against the Wall Street Journal—he has a well-deserved reputation of being a sexual predator and womanizer. It’s just that the MAGAs, up to now at least, don’t care–BUT, the rest of us DO care. A healthy proportion of the MAGAs are waking up to the reality that Trump just lies to get what he wants, that Elon Musk was right–Trump IS in the Epstein files–and that Trump is not going to ever release all of the information.
It’s a slam dunk case of defamation because he didn’t write the letter. It has nothing to do with his reputation as a womanizer, that was known for decades. It has to do with the attempt to somehow link him to the Democrat donor Epstein.
How about this–release the letter, which contains his signature, and have a handwriting expert analyze it to determine the authenticity? “Somehow link him to…Epstein”? Are you joking–haven’t you seen the photos and videos? Excerpted from “Vox”, updated today:
“In 1992, the New York Times reported that two dozen women went to Mar-a-Lago for a “calendar girl” competition before only two guests: Trump and Epstein. Per flight logs, Trump flew on Epstein’s private jets seven times between 1993 to 1997, though he never went to the private island in the US Virgin Islands that Epstein purchased in 1998.
Two decades later, in tape-recorded interviews with journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein claimed that he “was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.” Epstein said that he and Trump frequently picked up women together in Atlantic City casinos, that Trump enjoyed seducing his best friends’ wives, and that the first time Trump “slept with” Melania was “on my plane.” (When Wolff released the tapes last year, Trump’s team dismissed them as “false smears.”)
Both Trump and Epstein were accused of sexual misconduct around this time as well — Trump in a 1997 sexual assault lawsuit, and Epstein in a 1997 police report.
At least once, Mar-a-Lago was allegedly a recruiting site for Epstein’s ring. In 2000, 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre was working as a pool attendant at Trump’s club when Maxwell offered her a job as Epstein’s masseuse. Giuffre alleged that, over the ensuing two years, Epstein and Maxwell then groomed her to have sex with wealthy and influential men, including Prince Andrew of the British royal family. Guiffre died by suicide earlier this year.
When a journalist for New York magazine profiled Epstein in 2002, Trump gave that quote that seemed to allude to Epstein’s preference for young women. “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” he said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Then, in 2003, came the birthday book. According to the Wall Street Journal, it was assembled by Maxwell, and contained joking and innuendo-laden messages from many of Epstein’s friends.
The entry with Trump’s name contained a drawing of the outline of a naked woman, with the signature “Donald” below her waist, and an odd, typewritten message purporting to be a dialogue between Trump and Epstein. In the dialogue, “Donald” says “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” and “Enigmas never age.”
The dialogue concludes with “Donald” saying: “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Per the Journal, the book is currently in the Justice Department’s possession.
Trump claims the book is fake, asserting “these are not my words,” and claiming “I don’t draw pictures.” (There are many articles about Trump’s penchant for doodling, sketching and drawing, containing numerous examples of such.)
Salacious as the birthday book sounds, it does not actually prove any misconduct on Trump’s part: The message is vague. But obviously, it will feed intense speculation on exactly what Trump was referring to about “things in common” and a “wonderful secret.”
In court proceedings and grand jury questioning, Epstein victims have accused several powerful and influential men of being involved in his sex crimes — but these names have largely been reported, and Trump’s name was not among them. In 2016, an anonymous plaintiff filed a lawsuit claiming Trump and Epstein had raped her, but the circumstances around the lawsuit looked very sketchy, and it was soon dropped.
Trump and Epstein reportedly had a falling-out in 2004
Yet this happy friendship did not last much longer because, in 2004, Trump and Epstein both badly wanted to buy the same oceanfront Palm Beach mansion up for auction.
The Washington Post chronicled the bitter falling-out, which involved competing bids, each trashing the other to the trustee managing the auction, and threats of lawsuits. (Trump won the mansion, but sold it a few years later to a Russian billionaire.)
This appears to have been a definitive break, as there’s no evidence that Trump and Epstein socialized again after this point.
Just two weeks after the property auction, the Palm Beach police received a tip that young women had been seen entering and leaving Epstein’s home.
The investigation into Epstein truly kicked off the following year, in 2005, when a 14-year-old girl and her parents went to the Palm Beach police, accusing Epstein of molesting her during a massage. Epstein was charged in Florida in 2006, but the case was resolved in 2008 in what was later derided as a sweetheart plea deal.
After that, Epstein’s victims pressed their case in civil lawsuits. An attorney for the victims, Brad Edwards, has said that, in 2009, he sought information from various Epstein acquaintances. Very few were willing to talk voluntarily, but Trump was — and Edwards said he was “very helpful in the information that he gave.”
In a court filing, Edwards asserted that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club.” This was likely the information Trump provided, since Trump has told others this as well. But the story has never been corroborated, and details on when this happened remain elusive.
Once Trump was president, media reporting revived interest in the Epstein case, and he was arrested on new charges in 2019. He died in prison a month later, in what FBI investigators say was a suicide.
Maxwell, Epstein’s companion, was arrested the following year, in 2020. “I do wish her well,” Trump said then. “I’m not looking for anything bad for her.”
Update, July 21, 1:30 pm ET: This article was originally published on July 18 and has been updated with news of Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.”
Nice copy and paste job. You’re losing it sweetheart.
Lmao at you, Gigenius.
How is that recession you predicted going?
Care to name a crime? No, of course not. Go away, stop with the copy and paste garbage. Trump’s numbers are actually rising over this, so congratulations on your own goal.
Crimes? Easy. Falsifying business records. Sexual abuse. The felon-in-chief has 34 convictions on the record. Crawl out from under your rock and look it up. Incidentally, your Trump Vindication Syndrome is showing.
And yet, the American people saw through your show trials and re-elected Trump. That’s got to sting.
None of these cases will survive on appeal. Everyone knows it. But that wasn’t the point, it was to dirty him up, and it failed. Sucks to be you.
Trump was “elected” because he LIED about being able to immediately bring down the cost of groceries–he has admitted that is the reason–the promise to release the Epstein files was just another lie to get his base to vote for him.. And, BTW, he never even got half of the votes that were cast, and his margin was less than 2%. No one can “dirty up” Trump–he’s already done that to himself.
His “base” was always going for vote for him, nimrod. You know who else never got 50% of the votes? Bill Clinton. You’re boring and your talking points are weak.
You didn’t care about Clinton, you don’t care about Trump. Grow up, get new material. There’s nothing in the “files” about Trump that wouldn’t have been leaked already.
Trump succeeded in getting prices down from day one.
Under President Biden, grocery prices rose about 25–30% between 2021 and 2025. Even in his final months, prices kept climbing 0.2–0.3% each month with yearly increases around 2.4%. Inflation became a lasting problem, not a temporary spike.
When President Trump took office, he inherited those high prices. But instead of continuing the climb, food inflation slowed sharply. Month-to-month increases dropped, and the trend began to stabilize.
That’s the key difference. It’s much harder to reverse inflation than to prevent it. Yet Trump managed to slow it, something many thought couldn’t be done, YOU included. The numbers show it plainly, even if politics tries to obscure it.
What MAGA media told you that one? According to AL!–an Alabama source:
“As the American public watches large scale immigration raids, tariffs, and the scandal surrounding billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein and his clients unfold, President Donald Trump appears to be losing favor with several of his longtime supporting states.
Over 30,000 poll responses compiled by Civiqs shows Trump’s approval rating declining in states he won in November 2024, like Alabama and Texas.
His current net approval rating in Alabama sits at 13%, a 9% drop from the net 22% recorded in April.
This reflects a continuous decline in Trump’s approval rating among Alabama voters, according to several previous polls.
Nationally, Trump currently sits at a -14 net approval rating, with only 41% of voters approving of the way he is handling his job as president, according to Civiqs polling.
“I believe that this map reflects a steady decline of both approval ratings as well as confidence in President Trump’s leadership,” William Hill, an adjunct professor of political science and business at Webster University in St. Louis, recently told Newsweek.”
I’m sure this will really be important for his next election. Damn are you a clown. This is why your family won’t talk to you anymore, you just don’t shut up about politics.
Proof? Nah, no proof needed when it’s Trump.
The tangerine Mussolini don’t need no stinking proof.
We’re invading Ethiopia? Making trains run on time? News to me. Why don’t you grow up already, this crap rhetoric didn’t work before the election and it’s certainly not working now. Get some new material.
Crybaby ^^^
More hear-say as usual.
🤦🏻 I think those asking for the investigation need to do be investigated
Friend, the dog and pony show=dem vs rep. Is obsolete.
You cannot solve a problem by being at the level of the problem.
Get back to our Constitition for the united States.
Al Cuppett said to me over 20 years ago, “everything on TV is fiction.”
Thomas Jefferson said of media then, newspapers, paraphrase, “man who reads nothing is better informed, than he whp reads them all!”
Right on, as usual.
Society needs politics-free breathing spaces. Things like sports, church & synagogue, entertainment, late-night comedy . . . all of these need to be neutral spaces for friendship, fellowship, mutual support, and some relief from the stress of work and everyday life.
But all of them have become politicized, and in the process, corrupted. Mainline churches elevate left-wing politics over connecting with God, NFL players kneel for the national anthem because America which makes them wealthy is so bad in their eyes, Hamilton becomes a platform for the left to launch diatribes against conservatives, Superman and Snow White become opportunities to lecture about immigration policy or to promote wokeness, late-night comedy becomes wall-to-wall left-wing political propaganda, promoting harmful lies (like pushing the vaccine), and childhood becomes an opportunity for trans-activists and other cultural Marxists to promote an extreme ideology and hatred for America – and in the process to destroy kids’ innocence.
All of that makes society less healthy, as people start to feel those buffer spaces being stolen from them or slipping away. All of that leads toward societal conflict instead of cohesion (which is the point, apparently). The Left politicizes everything, and in the process, ruins everything it touches.

Gaming, as well. Politics in gaming should only involve whatever politics exist in said fantasy world. Yet, we have groups demanding (and sometimes obtaining) censorship, “Race-aligned” Voice Actor casting, ugly Ts in games, woke ideology, and now an Aussie Karen group trying to get payment processors to control what I spend my American dollars on.
The gaming communities, however, are nothing but fighters. Gaming may be the latest frontier to be targeted, but by god, we will be the hardest to conquer.
