I mean....that may be the least hideous part of that book.  The girls are like elementary school age in pic one, so 20 years later would make them 25 or better.  Those are actually women, well into legal age.  How refreshing!  I'd have expected the dates to be 183 to 1993, so he's getting some of those sweet 14-16 year olds.

And yeah, Jesus....every one of these people knew EXACTLY what Epstein was - a fucking predator - and they didn't shy away from it, they celebrated it.  Imagine if one of your friends was into fucking underage girls.  First...imagine that you remained friends with him after finding that out.  Then, imagine that you wrote him funny notes celebrating the fact.  WTF is wrong with these people?

Let's assume that all the girls became bleached blondes, and the illustrator's intent was to say that the girls from 1983 and the same ones in the 2003 picture. I think that's the most likely conclusion to draw. You are right that in 2003 they are all past the age of consent, but the only way those girls stayed in his life would've been if he was systematically grooming them for those 20 years, which is pretty fucking gross.

This is the hilarious part about all of the bootlickers lining up to embarrass themselves. “It’s a hoax, it’s clearly faked” etc. Yeah that’s from a 22 year-old book.

A lot of this, unfortunately, would have gone away if Trump had just said “I think I just had someone do a doodle real quick and I signed it without paying attention. I don’t know what it means now and I didn’t back then either.” But, neither he nor his cult members operate that way, even when it’s really, really in his best interests to do so.

Jonathan Last from the Bulwark nails it in his piece today (https://www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-trump-hearts-jeffrey-epstein😞

Everyone should be hammering Trump mercilessly about this. The additional context from the book should leave no possibility for him to shrug this off. I fear that a lot of people may end up dying as a result of the Trump administration's efforts to distract from this.

Not to be that guy, but ... ummm ...

It is because he, and they, are fucking stupid. And evil.

What if Epstein wanted to buy Mar-A-Lago and that was the failed real estate deal that really ended their friendship?

There needs to be a Christmas card service that allows people to anonymously send pages from the birthday book to that special MAGA person in their life.

Spend $10 and choose from a variety of cards, or spend $50 and give them an advent calendar version where they receive a new one each day. There can be personalized memos that say things like “Merry Christmas, you voted for a pedophile.”

All proceeds go to charities to help sex trafficking victims.

This is superb quality. I mean top top notch.

‘Bomb went off’: Report reveals moment Epstein files rocked the White House and why Trump is desperate to keep them secret

Spoiler

The moment Pam Bondi’s Justice Department and the FBI quietly dropped a memo on the Fourth of July weekend, attempting to draw a lineunder the Jeffrey Epstein files saga, it was “like a bomb went off” in the White House, a new report reveals. 

For President Donald Trump’s administration, the handling of the Epstein case has been a chaotic summer of “disorganization,” high-stakes strategy meetings in the Situation Room, “finger-pointing,” and a series of “unforced errors,” The Wall Street Journal reports. 

Tensions in the Trump administration on how best to handle the Epstein scandal — “a crisis of the president’s own making” — and appease his MAGA base had been simmering since February, when the Attorney General claimed the files were “sitting on her desk” and haphazardly arranged an ill-fated PR stunt with right-wing influencers. 

This was the beginning of a series of “mistakes” by “multiple mouthpieces” and Trump advisers who deeply underestimated the issue that continues to dog the administration today, according to the WSJ. 

Trump socialized with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s before cutting off contact following the pedophile’s first arrest in 2006.

Now, the president is desperate to rid himself of the case, the outlet reports. 

White House officials reportedly believed the issue would blow over and the president “couldn’t understand why people were so obsessed” with the late sex offender.

But the WSJ also reports that the president was “worried some of his friends might be mentioned in the files,” and they “might have been doctored to hurt him,” according to people familiar with Trump’s comments.

“This may be the worst managed PR event in history,” lawyer Ty Cobb, who led the first Trump White House’s response to a 2017 special counsel probe into the campaign’s ties to Russia, told the WSJ.

When approached by The Independent for comment, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the issue was a “dead story.”

“This is a lazy rewrite of a dead story,” Jackson said of the report. “It’s not news that Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep.”

“Democrats and the media knew about Epstein and his victims for years and did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, and is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents,” Jackson added.

In a statement to the WSJ, Bondi said she is working “tirelessly” alongside FBI Director Kash Patel to make America safer.

“Our only priority is to continue working together with the FBI to make America safer by ensuring murderers and violent criminals face the most severe justice,” Bondi said. 

Here’s how events this year reportedly unfolded

Bondi had only been in post for three weeks when she was asked during a Fox News interview whether the Justice Department would release Epstein’s alleged client list. 

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” she responded. “That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”

This statement “flummoxed” Trump officials, according to the WSJ. “What document was Bondi talking about?” they reportedly wondered.

FBI officials “pulled an all-nighter” to pull together the now infamous “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” binders for a publicity event on February 27, where far-right influencers, including Jack Posobiec and Scott Presler, as well as the individuals behind the LibsofTikTok and DC_Draino accounts, were given the documents.

Jubilant images of the group holding the binders aloft were published, but their excitement quickly faded when they realized that the content was already almost entirely in the public domain. Some were outraged and blamed Bondi.

Trump’s communications aides were given “only a few minutes’ notice”about the event and “didn’t know Bondi planned to talk about Epstein,” according to the WSJ.

It went down like a lead balloon with the White House. Bondi was reportedly pulled aside and told to tone down the issue, “not draw attention to it.”

Trump tells Bondi to ‘buck up’ amid criticism as FBI and DOJ drop bombshell memo

After the binder embarrassment, anger over the Epstein files continued to bubble away for the next few months.

It came to a head when Elon Musk tossed an Epstein grenade on June 5 following his exit from the White House as a public feud broke out between the billionaire and Trump.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

Shortly after, he wrote: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Later, perhaps as cooler heads prevailed, Musk deleted the post, but the damage was done. 

Amid a tidal wave of backlash from MAGA, FBI Director Kash Patel and others at the bureau reportedly wanted to release a statement to explain why they were dropping the Epstein case, the WSJ reports.

Bondi, meanwhile, had complained to the White House and the president about the scrutiny she was receiving. “Trump encouraged her to buck up, and others told her to stop looking at social media and lashing out at those posting,” people with knowledge of the conversations told the newspaper.

“She told White House officials that FBI leaders, including Patel, were out to get her,” the people reportedly said.

The Justice Department and the FBI dropped a 600-word memo on July 6, effectively closing the case into the pedophile. It determined that no “further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted,” much was sealed by a court to protect Epstein’s victims, and “only a fraction of it “would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial.”

Additionally, the memo said that no further charges were expected as investigators “did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

Also released were hours of footage, which officials say further confirms Epstein died by suicide while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019, quashing the conspiracy theory previously pushed by Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, that he was murdered. 

“It was like a bomb went off after that statement went out,” one senior White House official told the WSJ. 

Loomer calls for Pam ‘Blondi’s’ resignation

MAGA’s Laura Loomer, an influential voice in the movement, was among the loudest calling for Bondi’s resignation. 

After news of the memo broke, Loomer gave the Attorney General the belittling nickname “Blondi” in social media posts on X/Twitter. “Blondi lied,” Loomer posted in July. “She was always lying.”

“Who releases a statement about the Epstein files on the Sunday night of 4th of July weekend?” she asked her followers. “Someone who doesn’t want you paying attention.”

Later on, when Trump and his allies reportedly started ringing around MAGA allies to diffuse the situation, Loomer was contacted by a White House official who told her that “Bondi needed to be more careful, but that Trump had no intention of firing her,” the right-wing influencer recalled to the WSJ.

Susie Wiles convenes Epstein strategy meetings in the Situation Room

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles reportedly said the FBI and Justice Department memo “had been a mistake” as the administration faced uproar from Trump’s own base.

Things had become so fraught that Wiles moved to convene a series of Epstein strategy meetings in the Situation Room — the so-called “war room” used to discuss responses to highly sensitive global crises.

“[Vice President JD] Vance led the push for more disclosure, according to officials familiar with the discussions. Wiles and others argued that they would never be able to pacify the most rabid Epstein conspiracy theorists,” the WSJ reports.

Trump called Rupert Murdoch from Air Force One in bid to kill WSJ report

Despite aides’ best efforts, the Epstein story was not going away.

Trump made a call to Rupert Murdoch from Air Force One in an attempt to kill a WSJ report, published on July 17, about a 50th birthday greetingthat the president allegedly sent Epstein in 2003.

The letter allegedly signed by Trump — which features a sexually suggestive drawing and a birthday wish that says “may every day be another wonderful secret” — was first published by the newspaper and then shared with members of Congress by the Epstein estate.

Trump has repeatedly denied writing the letter and denied that a signature on the document is his. The president’s $10bn defamation lawsuit claims that “no authentic letter or drawing exists,” and on his Truth Social account, he called WSJ’s story a “false, malicious, defamatory, FAKE NEWS ‘article’ in the useless ‘rag’ that is.”

Lawyers for the newspaper hit back earlier this week and argued the president’s lawsuit “does not include a single plausible allegation” that any of the defendants — which include right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the newspaper’s parent companies — knowingly published false statements about him.

“The Article is true,” lawyers wrote Monday, and the evidence is publicly available for anyone to see.

Maxwell given Chick-fil-A breakfast before being questioned by Bondi’s deputy

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and the only person ever charged in connection with the financier’s crimes, reportedly spotted an opportunity in late July as rage over the case refused to die down.

House Speaker Mike Johnson had just ground the House of Representatives to a screeching halt in order to block legislation filed by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna to force the release of the Epstein files in 30 days.

Maxwell’s current lawyer, David Oscar Markus, reportedly reached out to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to make an offer, according to the WSJ.

“Would the Justice Department want to interview Maxwell and see what she now had to say?” Markus reportedly offered Blanche, who did not request a pardon or preferential treatment for his client, the outlet reports.

They took Markus up on the offer and questioned Maxwell for two days. She said she never saw the president doing anything inappropriate or illegal, transcripts later released by the Justice Department revealed.

On the second day of questioning, Maxwell was given breakfast from Chick-fil-A, according to the newspaper.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom and abuse young girls. About a week after the interview, the 63-year-old British socialite was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.

The reason behind the move was over “concerns for her safety,” according to the WSJ.

Meanwhile, the White House debated whether to release the transcripts and audio of Maxwell’s interviews, believing it could finally end the drama.

They released the transcripts on August 22 and top officials were reportedly “convinced that the scandal would soon blow over.”

On September 2, when lawmakers returned from their summer recess, Massie filed a discharge petition in an attempt to force a House vote on releasing the files. Khanna and Massie held a press conference the following day with Epstein’s survivors, who called for the files to be released in their entirety. 

Trump is reportedly now scrambling to sway the three Republican congresswomen who signed the petition, now that a majority of House members have signed a measure to force a full floor vote.
