Sorry, what?

Let me get this right. So grooming gangs are fine as long as they're white and rich grooming gangs?

And a conspiracy of powerful elites based in the White House conspiring to cover up grooming gangs is also fine as long as they are Republican elites?

Mmhm.

Maybe I'm being unfair saying "Republican elites".

Maybe it's only Trumpist elites.

I'm quite sure there are many ordinary Republicans who are absolutely horrified at this. Not to mention non-Republicans who lent Trump their vote.

If their preferred media weren't telling them about Trump's behaviour and connections before the election, this will have come as huge shock to them.

It’s not a surprise to the voters in any way—they wilfully turned the other way. Before both the 2016 and 2024 election, we’d all heard the pussy grabbing conversation on the bus, we’d all seen the dozens of photos of Trump with Epstein (who had been convicted in the early 2000s), and we’d seen evidence that Trump was in the flight logs for Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express”. We had also heard the Howard Stern interview where Trump bragged about barging into the Miss Teen USA dressing rooms to leer at the naked girls. None of this is new information. Voters have chosen to ignore it.

@PerkingFaintly - I’m sorry, I don’t know if you’re referring to something specific when you write: "So grooming gangs are fine as long as they're white and rich grooming gangs?”, or is that what you’re extrapolating from the current shenanigans?

I think she’s referring to the Elon Musk et al uproar about the UK grooming gangs vs the lengths some will go (eg, House Leader Mike Johnson sending Congress on Summer Recess to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein Files) to brush the white upper class grooming gang under the rug.

Reporter: Did you write a letter for Epstein's Birthday?

Trump: “I don't even know what they're talking about. Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, that's happened a lot. All you have to do is take a look at the dossier. The fake dossier. Everything is fake.”

I still love the notion that someone in Biden's administration (or Obama's) went to all that trouble to fake this stuff and then couldn't be bothered to publish it....

Listening to TRIP US this morning, the existence of the “Birthday Book” has been confirmed with it previously being mentioned in court proceedings and it’s believed to be in the possession of Epstein’s lawyers.

Like Mooch said, there’s no way WSJ would have published the story without verifying that any such letter actually existed in the first place.

It was thought the Cash Patel might be leaking to the press, but they don’t think now that’s the case. Someone at FBI is leaking, but it’s not him. He and Dan Bongino are both said to be very unhappy about Trump’s attempts to move the story along and refusing to release evidence.

WH persons travelling with Trump to Scotland.
Hope Leavitt has seen the front page of The National and I hope one of their reporters is in the Press Pool ready to ask proper questions!

I hope that there’s a shrine to Janey near the course, in honour of her 2016 exploits.

Has someone resurrected the Bigly Baby Balloon? I do hope so.

Could be? https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/16/donald-trump-baby-balloon-take-skies-president-visits-uk-23674496/

Oh yes. And to that horrible Stephen Miller is going to be there

Scotland, we are relying on you

The orange 💩 has landed 🛬

Oh fuck

He is getting questioned about Epstein

He started wanging on about windmills.

🍊🌮

Deflect! Also DARVO. We are to blame, for using wind power, obviously.

Course he did! He hates 'em! They kill birds (nope). They kill whales (nope)

He's crackers

Well ...

😂

Excuse the spamming with memes. After seeing Trump suggest Israel need to “finish the job” with Gaza I was in need of some light relief.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has been on Newsnight here stating he believes his brother was murdered and that two senior pathologists said as much
