Link to a credible source that Epstein emails claimed Trump was giving blowies to Bill?

I just assumed they meant he was complimenting him for whatever reason.

These fuckers would stand up during a live performance of Maneater and claim that "it's a hoax that Hall had anything to do with Oates."

Man, if we could get them to throw out a first pitch this season at the Disch, that would be great.

Again, I just don't understand how one could look at this and believe it.  He might as well be saying the sky is red and it's March instead of November.  He might as well say we live on Mars and we are underwater.  We are living in the most baffling time for humanity.  Millions of people purposely deluding themselves to reality.

This is the shit that's going to sink him. The reality of economic collapse is going to bring out the "I never give a shit about politics" crowd that never usually votes. 

If trump wasn't a complete moron he'd be begging republicans in congress to reinstate the ACA subsidies, issue all manner of food subsidies to lower grocery costs, and do whatever possible to lower costs across the board. 

But that takes work and is difficult. So he'll just revert to form and lie his ass off in clownish fashion so every non political person that voted for him because of the economy, or didn't vote at all, are going to blame him. 

We don't have trump right now because of his base. We have trump because half of American adults are too stupid or lazy to pay any attention at all to what's happening around them. They only pay attention when shit is burning down.

That's because you didn't take "Advanced Stupid" as a language course in college.

If you can read fluent Stupidese at a sophomore level or better, it all becomes crystal clear.

I can’t imagine a scenario where Trumps approval rating dips below 35% while he is still in office.  The severity and volume of shit that has happened in the last year but especially the last month has had to have eroded any potential approval he was getting from movable people.  The 39% who currently approve of him are doing so in spite of a shitty economy, heavy evidence that the president is a pedophile who had sex with underage girls, severe domestic political unrest, and a fragile geopolitical environment.  We know they are approving of him because of his efforts to disparage and punish minorities and the poor and because of his polices that exacerbate environmental and societal problems, not in spite of them.

A severe economic depression or a war in which the US gets attacked by a foreign country and is losing are the only 2 things I can imagine serving to reduce Trump’s approval rating from where it is, and even then I can’t imagine it getting below 25%.
 

The Democrats had effective messaging/leasership anytime before 2024, he wouldn’t be president.  One thing I’m not sure of is if they had gotten effective messaging/leadership at any point this year, how low would Trump’s approval currently be?

Nixon's approval was 27% after he resigned and Bush's was 27% in 2008 , that represents the absolute floor for a Republican. Still, based on that Republicans might lose white voters which would be apocalyptic. Like swing state Wyoming or West Virginia kind of bad. I’m telling y’all, next year is going to be the mother of all blue waves.

I would certainly hope so, as one of the two parties has become a party that wants to give as much of everyone's money to billionaires while protecting pedophiles and taking away healthcare and food from poor people. And oh yeah, hating brown people. Like that's their entire thing.

I certainly think it would be in Trump's best interest to crank up the money printers, subsidize healthcare, groceries, energy, etc.  The average voter has no idea what the national debt is nor do they care about it.

They could actually crow that they brought all that good stuff back but now illegals are ineligible.  Ignoring that they've always been ineligible.

Shit, they've already blown the budget and deficit straight to hell, why not tack on a few billion for the people.

People with a brain see it, sure. Then again, we were saying all manner of this shit during his campaign as well. And look how that turned out?

Why is capitalism losing favor in Trump’s America?

https://www.axios.com/2025/09/08/americans-capitalism-social-big-business-gallup-poll

The lowest share of Americans ever view capitalism positively and big business rates even worse in new Gallup data released Monday.

Why it matters: Americans' souring attitudes toward capitalism and corporations reflects a growing unease with the economyrising inflation and a stagnating job market.

 
 

By the numbers: A slim majority of Americans — 54% — said they have positive ratings of capitalism, down from 60% in 2021. 

  • Perceptions of socialism — currently 39% positive — have not changed significantly since polling began in 2010. 

State of play: For the first time, fewer than half of Democrats view capitalism positively. They're also the only political group to view socialism more positively than capitalism.

  • Ratings of "big business" have dropped significantly, especially among Democrats.
  • However, Americans remain overwhelmingly supportive of small business and free enterprise despite their skepticism of larger market forces.

It's a real fucking branding problem.

See, these fuckheads have defended to the death, and viciously attacked any criticism of kleptocratic fascist-captured crony "capitalism," which they call "Capitalism," thus ruining the FUCK out of actual Capitalism's brand.  If you tell people that this utter fuckjob is "Capitalism," then yeah....people are going to turn against Capitalism.

The brands of Capitalism and Christianity have never had worse brand ambassadors than the modern GQP.

So, despite the GOP's false choice argument of capitalism good, socialism bad, most Americans realize you need a balance of competition-based entrepreneurship and government-based guardrails that ensure those that have  contributed to societies' prosperity aren’t given a F U when they're no longer needed.

Fuck, we'd settle for some semblance of objective and evenly applied regulations and the continuing Rule of Law at this point.

Why we’re going to keep talking about the Trump phone
 

Quote

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been asking — repeatedly — where the promised Trump phone is, whether it exists, and what happened to all the money people have already paid for deposits. And I’m going to keep doing that every week for the foreseeable future.

Not everyone thinks I should. I’ve been told that covering Trump Mobile is “playing into his hands,” that “this obvious con [doesn’t need] any more publicity,” and that “we don’t need to read about it literally every week.” And those are just the nice messages — you don’t want to see some of the other ones.

 

Quote

Still, I think it’s a fair question. Why am I here week in, week out, writing about a phone that, as best as we can tell, doesn’t actually exist? Why didn’t we just call it bad and impossible and move on with our lives?

The short answer is: because it matters.

 

Quote

The long answer is: We can’t move on because this is still playing out, and it still needs reporting. If the T1 Phone 8002 would just arrive at buyers’ houses and turn out to be a real, probably quite bad, smartphone, that would be that. But no one has the phone yet. No one has even seen the phone yet. And Trump Mobile has gone suspiciously silent, with no updates in months to its website or social media profiles.

 

Spoiler

This also sits squarely in The Verge’s lane. You want us to stick to phones? This is it! It’s a phone — at least in name — and we want to know what’s going on with it.

In fact, it sits in the eye of a perfect storm of Verge-iness. It’s a phone, and we cover those. It’s probably vaporware, and we’re always happy to call out products that will never actually exist. It creates a pretty clear regulatory problem for the FCC, and we love pointing opportunities for Brendan Carr to be a dummy. And, yes, it’s about politics — The Verge covers that. Always has, always will.

But more than that, it’s something that’s worth calling out, and calling out often. In the grand scheme of the Donald Trump administration, a gold Android phone that won’t actually be made in the US is pretty small fry. But it’s emblematic of empty promises and naked grifts, of baseless claims that they don’t expect to ever be called out on. This is an administration presiding over one of the biggest tech industry booms (bubbles?) in decades, that had a tech bro as one of its chief advisers, and that welcomed half of Silicon Valley at the inauguration, and it doesn’t know that you can’t build $500 Android flagships in the United States?

Trump Mobile, for the third week in a row, did not respond to a request for comment.

His "EVERYTHING IS CHEAPER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR!  THANKSGIVING IS CHEAPER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR!"  schtick has such a "wizard of oz/pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"  vibe to it.

Not only that, but the fact that Trump is lying was so quickly and easily and demonstrably disproved in a way that is quickly grasped by any American ... "well, yeah .. it's cheaper because Wal Mart reduced the number of items and replace the name brand items with their own,"   really is going to impact Trump's numbers. I'll bet you're going to see a bunch of Republican congressional candidates swimming away from him.

"This is totally fake news. I've never given a blowjob, that's for the whores and the gays. Look...many years ago, Bill came over to my penthouse for dinner. He said, 'Donald, I want you to give me a Trump job'. I said, 'Bill, I didn't know you were Mexican, but I'm happy to hire and never pay you for something.' He said, 'No, Donald, I want a Trumpjob.'  I didn't know what the hell a Trumpjob was, but I like the name of it. It'a beautiful name. So he takes me into my bathroom and points at my toilet.  I said, 'You want to sit on my throne? You can't sit on my throne. I'm the only one who can sit there.'  He said 'Exactly.' So I sit down on the toilet, and he stands over me and whips it out. I don't know how the hell it happened, but then I did something very beautiful. Nobody's ever done it before. I don't know what came over me. Actually, I do know, it was Bill."

THEY chose to have the lies shoved down their throats, by canceling their newspaper subscriptions and relying on the news as filtered through their Facebook groups.
