Although Tosh is a consistently unapologetic performer for the sardonic material he exudes on his Comedy Central series—which features a running theme of rape jokes, even including one about his sister—for this occasion he decided to go the Twitter route: "All the out of context misquotes aside, I'd like to sincerely apologize." He also tweeted, "The point I was making before I was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them."

Left: the NY Post front page from 20 August 2015 via their Twitter post. It reads "Today's cover: Subway's Jared got his kiddie porn from the former head of his youth charity nyp.st/1E6xEvs" and shows an image of the front page with the headline "Subway Jared underage sex shock". Beneath that, to the left of a photo of Jared is, in all caps, "Enjoy a foot long in jail". A small box in the lower right reads "Jared Fogle, hanging his head outside court yesterday, is going from Subway sandwich pitchman to prisoner after confessing he had sex with underage girls and possessed naked images of kids who were secretly filmed by the man who runs his charity foundation. P. 4, 5, 6 & 7". It was posted at 11:22 AM UTC. Viewable, archived, at https://archive.ph/IxYI6 .
Right: Epstein document ID EFTA01190945 excerpt: "scene was positively jaw-dropping. It served as a reminder of how often comedians--and their jaded audiences--find prison-rape jokes not only to be funny, but also, as in the case of pedophile Jerry Sandusky, an act of delayed justice resulting in laughter that morphs into applause. A [redacted]. Post headline about pedophile Subway pitchman: "Enjoy a foot long in jail." And "Don't drop the soap" even made its way to the animated Family Guy."

I am flabbergasted.
Who decided what gets redacted? Because DOJ redacted "I'd" and "N.Y." and "I'm".
I don't know who cobbled the ... well. Document IDs EFTA01190936 - EFTA01190950 together, but two of those redactions are directly from the text of a 2012 "Reason" Magazine essay.

Text: H.R.7123 — 119th Congress (2025-2026)
All Information (Except Text)
As of 02/03/2026 text has not been received for H.R.7123 - To abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Government Publishing Office (GPO) makes the text of legislative measures available to the public and the Library of Congress. GPO makes the text available as soon as possible, but delays can occur when there are many or very large legislative measures for GPO to prepare and print at the same time.
Hi.
Can you try to get the text for the bill uploaded?
So others know what I'm talking about: H.R.7123 - To abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If you'll recall (see below), they already made it policy to go to "targeted enforcement of [non-US-ians]". To run plates is bad enough, especially when "criminal history" just means "arrested at some point regardless of whether charges were dropped".

That conversation wasn't the only post-2009 meeting / communication. There's a LOT under Jacques / Jack Lang.
Epstein even claimed Jacques Lang worked for his organization to Boris Nikolic (Bill Gates' advisor).
That's possibly him blowing smoke. But he offered to introduce Lang to folks often.

And here's a newsflash for you: enforcement will be non-existent.
Your "compromises" make certain that there will forever be children crying "They're going to kill him!" as their loved ones are abducted by lawless "federal agents".
To do list:
- Abolish ICE
- Eradicate DHS
- End Qualified Immunity

Are US-ians expected to say "to hell with decency so long as we agree to a surveillance state", one that allows men to record women while urinating (best case)? After they've forced the woman in cuffs into a single occupancy porta potty, of course.

ICE releases Chicago-area mother after seven months. It failed to provide evidence justifying her detention.
While Marina Lopez was in ICE detention for seven months, parishioners in her church stepped up to help care for her family.
And what of when ICE arrests someone only to - months later - reveal that they had NO reason at all to do so and finally releases them?
Are you going to force them to wear the cameras and keep them on in the detention centers?

The cameras cannot be in their control. Do you honestly think we'd know about this incident if she hadn't been recording? Do you really believe they would have left their cameras on? You do know they "malfunction" frequently, don't you?
