Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Such a child.

So this must be what a real war on Christmas feels like.

Yeah, stop spending your money and get outta here here you stupid foreigners!

The war on Christmas is coming from inside the house

Justice Department quietly replaced 'identical' Trump signatures on recent pardons President Donald Trump is facing new scrutiny over the use of a replicated signature on several recent pardons.

Trump's new autopen scandal. Every accusation is a confession.

I mean, come on New York Times.

I know a lot of people are still doing good work at this paper, but burn it down.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

It would be an ethical lapse as well. There are countless victims that deserve justice, and the people that do this sort of thing need to know that there are some things that money and power can't protect you from.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

I was 12 when Clinton was elected and 16 when he was re-elected. I have a kid older than I was at the start of his second term!

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

“Was it your brain?” should be the follow up question to every Trump statement.

For any other president this would be heralded as the disastrous policy failure of a floundering and indecisive chief executive

I think they hate the tariff stuff, among other things.

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

Crystal clear.

Excellent reporting by Greg and @thenyt.bsky.social

It appears impossible to justify bombing the Venezuelan boats

Not only is the legal basis tenuous (we all know how well the “I was just following orders” defense goes)

The evidence that people in the boats are engaged in crimes is shaky as well

Michael Flynn, DOJ in Settlement Talks Over $50 Million Claim The Justice Department has been discussing settlements with two former officials from Donald Trump’s first term who — like the president — claim they’re owed major payouts from the US government as vi...

They are straight up robbing taxpayers blind at this point and not even trying to hide it. Just ransacking the treasury out in the open. This motherfucker pleaded guilty! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The graft going on right now will shock people. The tip of the iceberg. That tariff vault is probably half emptied by now.

oh wow that’s crazy

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

To all the weirdos defending Megyn Kelly: 15 year olds are underage, and that is statutory rape.

Pretty simple

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): As for Epstein, I've said this before, but just as a reminder, I do know somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything. Not everything, but virtually everything. And this person has told me from the start years and years ago that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile. This is this person's view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realized this is disgusting. I'm definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I'm just giving you facts, that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.

"Looks legal to a passerby" is nasty work, Megyn Kelly.

These victims deserve justice, period. I don't care who is wrapped up in it, they're no friend of mine if they're abusing kids.
