I keep saying this. Won't they lose their minds if a convicted child sex trafficker is pardoned by Trump? MAGA will need Olympics-grade mental gymnastics to accept that act.
Please don’t ever type “Trump” and “gymnastics” into the same comment— even separate sentences can’t prevent the toxic mixture from forming the image of Donald attempting the Yurchenko double pike!
And don't you just know they will be doing all manner of stunts in order to do just that? I'm quite sure that Donnie Dementia will blame President Obama, Secretary Clinton, President Biden, and "radical left lunatics" for the whole mess he has made.
So I did. Thanks for the heads-up. I DID forget sharks, batteries, and windmills. Come to think of it, I also forgot showerheads and toilets. I must be getting old and forgetful.
It beats the hell out of Maxwell releasing the tapes and photos she has stashed somewhere. Maxwell also knows the art of the deal. I don't think she plans on spending the rest of her life in prison or gracefully dying. She has a window of opportunity and something to trade.
The faithful don't care. They accept he is a child rapist and worse. As long as he gives them power over the rest of us, it is a bargain they willing to make. What they don't want is the rest of the public to know for sure. Reducing his power, reduces their control over us. They will do whatever it takes to protect him.
Trump can create some fantasy to flood the media. He can tie up the courts with legalisms and appeals. Any excuse, plausible or not, for the pardon will hold his base together. If Maxwell dumps her stash, it is all over.
Sexually assaulting under aged, sex trafficked girls may even be a bridge too far for MAGA. Combine this with taking away Medicaid that many of them might collect. And they might resent footing the huge bill for fat ash to cheat at golf in Scotland.
Trump just needs to convince his followers that in all the photos where he is seen with Epstein, you are really seeing Hillary Clinton dressed up like Trump, just trying to make him look bad. I figure he has a good shot.
I have a feeling most trumpers just ignore the news they don’t like as false. Hard to imagine how but I’d bet on that. (I asked a sample of one and got that theory reinforced. 🤔 )
This includes a mix of crazies but also otherwise together people that don’t see through him. The people more likely to be moved by all of the corruption and destruction are the Independent voters and previously undecided… hopefully they see and help vote these people out ASAP!
They aren't either, but their clamoring continues . . . let's all take a moment to imagine the look on their face, when their dear leader headlines the list that's released.
It hard to make sense of it. If names are named, and Trump's isn't among them, will they be satisfied? Further, if he pardons her after his (acclaimed) "vindication," will they be able to draw the line from A to B? I mean, considering they have seen dozens of pictures of Trump with Epstein, they still haven't connected those dots, and instead think it's Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi who are the real monsters.
All those FBI agents' time on 24 hr shifts sifting the Epstein files for Dump's name won't be wasted. You know if the files are ever released every mention of his name will be redacted. They'll probably substitute Obama, or Biden or Hilary's name for his.
Andy, is it true that another reason "the boss" made this move (exclusively reported by TBR) was because he considers Maxwell a 9 and Justa only a 5 on his best eyeliner days?
Hi Andy. Would fit right in with Trump’s idea of justice. He pardoned all the clowns convicted by a jury or Judge in the January 6th attempt to overthrow the election
Another great start to another week! I agree. I don't think Ghislaine will be up to anything stupid if she gets released, and even if she becomes VP, we all know they disappear anyway.
Everyone knows that the orange fool has no foresight or vision beyond his own immediate gratification. A pardon here could bite him in his tubby lard ass. I sincerely hope it does.
Just ask Jordy Feldman, the Administrator of the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program* about the stories the young girls told about The Perv and The Pimp [or should it be Pimpess?] In fact, referring to Epstein as a Perv is akin to referring to Trump as a humanitarian, or RFK, Jr. as another Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
Ghislaine is scheduled to make a press conference this afternoon where she explains that not only did Trump not take advantage of underage girls, he is trans and was seen in many of the photos of Epstein as an underage girl.
You just reminded me of Alexandra Petri's recent column in The Atlantic. It's spot-on! But it also has a funny bit about what Trump was reading at those parties. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/07/trump-epstein-files-tale/683674/ (Not sure if The Atlantic will let you read that without a subscription.) I hope Andy gets Alexandra on Substack for an interview one of these days!
Quote: “Again and again, my new friend would drag me to parties that I had no interest in attending. I was miserable. I sat in the front row at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show with my biography of William McKinley open on my lap. But it was hard to read in the dark room, and I was not getting to the part that explained what tariffs were as fast as I would have liked.”
I’ve been wondering where Alexandra Petri ended up! When I canceled my WP subscription, she was on maternity leave. Was hoping she had jumped ship! Absolutely adore her sarcastic wit that so often rings true. Similar to Andy.
Can’t read the article without a subscription. Don’t know if The Atlantic is worth a subscription. Haven’t ever read it. 🤷♀️
Trump likes to use very inappropriate songs at his rallies. I am predicting that at his next rally he will have a recording of Maurice Chevalier singing “Thank heaven for little girls”.
L.R., I'm not sure what you would like to see changed. I apologize if I'm dense here, but I'm afraid I don't get it. I thought what I described was what the original comment was talking about.
I will always vote for sleep. And one never knows when their mind is going to land on a different perspective. I think it happens to the best of us, especially as we get older. Hope you get a good night's sleep.
Well Epstein hid this fact out of embarrassment. You see, one evening after a party Jeffrey was seen running from his mansion yellng "Ewww! Ewww" Trump had fooled him for a moment you see. Now, don't go thinking that Epstein was anti-gay or anti-trans - the problem was Trump was over 50 years old and from Epsteins perspective about 35 years after his sell-by-date.
I thought most for the prisoners were Catholic. Isn't there somebody in the U.S. Catholic Church in charge who is supposed to be complaining about the abuse.
Seriously, why isn't the media publishing excerpts from her indictment and her trial as a reminder of what scum she is, and everyone associated with these heinous people, including the Pardoner in Chief?
Actually Andy is correct I am also opposed to any pardon but making her VP would be a smart move for Trump. This would allow her to become a full time procurer of young girls for Trump. What could be better. Of course he has never met her or talked to her.
Look, I'm against Ghislaine getting pardoned, but this would be making the most of it, I think.
Pardoned right into NY State custody. Works for me, if that's what Trump does. I still say pardoning her is as good as a confession on Trump's part.
I'm not sure how pardoning a sex trafficker makes the QAnon crew happy.
I keep saying this. Won't they lose their minds if a convicted child sex trafficker is pardoned by Trump? MAGA will need Olympics-grade mental gymnastics to accept that act.
Please don’t ever type “Trump” and “gymnastics” into the same comment— even separate sentences can’t prevent the toxic mixture from forming the image of Donald attempting the Yurchenko double pike!
A double pike, such as Tower of London executioners wield would be smashing.
The world of gymnastics is already replete with infamous
sex-criminal ‘coaches’; no new kid -diddlers need apply.
Actually , visualize the landing. There, better?
Well, now I’m (mentally) seeing the (unspeakable) leotard from a different angle, so the answer is “no.”
What’s that smell??
He won't be able to stick the landing, which will be played on continuous loop on the Jumbotron in Times Square until the midterm elections.
It will be titled "Ultimate Executive Shitshow," with a MOJO DISRUPTION ADVISORY scrolling across the scene.
**splat**
Don't hold your breath. There will be an Olympic grade conspiracy theory to explain it all.
-with many forward and backflips!
--or speared by a javelin?
Make that a javelina that feels threatened.
Even Trump's verbal gymnastics are a big belly flop!
You must mean Gym Jordan from Ohio, he looked the other way as students were being assaulted!
He'll blame Obama.
What? I thought Hunter Biden's laptop did it. Maybe it was Hilary.
It was all three in a "libtard" conspiracy cooked up in a Shakey's
Pizza Parlor back room!
"Benghazi!"
All of the above!
Bless you! That Sahara sand is tricky on the sinuses. May penetrate the brain an give rise to all sorts of ideas, delusions, hallucinations!
And don't you just know they will be doing all manner of stunts in order to do just that? I'm quite sure that Donnie Dementia will blame President Obama, Secretary Clinton, President Biden, and "radical left lunatics" for the whole mess he has made.
You forgot sharks, batteries and windmills.
So I did. Thanks for the heads-up. I DID forget sharks, batteries, and windmills. Come to think of it, I also forgot showerheads and toilets. I must be getting old and forgetful.
And non-cane sugar.
and shower water flow
And trump’s many voters/fools just might eat it up… because every one of them qualifies for “village idiot” status, on steroids
--said steroids used to exercise their arm "guns' and their real guns.
No steroid exists to exercise the brain!
it takes a village, to make an idiot
His father cannot bail Donnie out from this mess!
It beats the hell out of Maxwell releasing the tapes and photos she has stashed somewhere. Maxwell also knows the art of the deal. I don't think she plans on spending the rest of her life in prison or gracefully dying. She has a window of opportunity and something to trade.

Not sure you are right, William.
Sexually assaulting under aged, sex trafficked girls may even be a bridge too far for MAGA. Combine this with taking away Medicaid that many of them might collect. And they might resent footing the huge bill for fat ash to cheat at golf in Scotland.
His poll numbers are in the toilet.
There is hope! Keep resisting…
--not in that gold toilet! Trump is lucky that gold does not tarnish!
step by step, Betsy . . . looking forward to seeing "realization of the truth" on the faces of the sheep
excellent post!
Do you ever get the feeling that our whole world has become a mad distorted hall of mirrors, with nothing making sense any longer?
and they aren't Olympic-grade anything!
MAGA will believe and follow ANYTHING the dear leader says or does. The average IQ of a MAGA is below that of protoplasm.
Trump just needs to convince his followers that in all the photos where he is seen with Epstein, you are really seeing Hillary Clinton dressed up like Trump, just trying to make him look bad. I figure he has a good shot.
someone did mention on here tRump was actually trans . . . who would have thunk he'd pick Hillary as his trans self
Worthy of a Hitchcock or DePalma thriller!
I have a feeling most trumpers just ignore the news they don’t like as false. Hard to imagine how but I’d bet on that. (I asked a sample of one and got that theory reinforced. 🤔 )
This includes a mix of crazies but also otherwise together people that don’t see through him. The people more likely to be moved by all of the corruption and destruction are the Independent voters and previously undecided… hopefully they see and help vote these people out ASAP!
I bet Joe Rogan will agree.
Nah, that was Obama. 😆
Too tan. Must be Biden.
GOP = Gross Old Perverts?!?
Growing Old Pedophiles.
Andy, has it ever entered your mind that maybe Putin may be one of pedophiles at Jeffrey’s island?
With Epstein and Trump, everything enters the mind!
They aren't either, but their clamoring continues . . . let's all take a moment to imagine the look on their face, when their dear leader headlines the list that's released.
It hard to make sense of it. If names are named, and Trump's isn't among them, will they be satisfied?

I mean, considering they have seen dozens of pictures of Trump with Epstein, they still haven't connected those dots, and instead think it's Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi who are the real monsters.
Well, it's dots for the MAGA dotty, isn't it? The only things that the MAGA faithful can connect are false conspiracies and the click of their rifles!
don't forget the "pssfft" of their beer cans!
All those FBI agents' time on 24 hr shifts sifting the Epstein files for Dump's name won't be wasted. You know if the files are ever released every mention of his name will be redacted. They'll probably substitute Obama, or Biden or Hilary's name for his.
I agree.
Yes, Trump has a conundrum there, doesn't he?
A condom?
According to a written testimony by one of the young victims posted online, he did not use condoms.
Agent orange was hoping to create more stable geniuses.
Stormy Daniels mentioned that too.
I think Srormy Daniels said the same during her encounter with him. She certainly gave a graphic description of Dump's nether regions.
doesn't "FEEL GOOD" enough!
Oh, it won't. 😆 🤣
GOP. Gross Old Perverts?!?
The already over look Trump's rape conviction!
A *woman* sex trafficker. We can’t even “boys will be boys” it away
Don't get comfy. No matter what, he will slither out of it. He's been practicing for years.
Trump's degree: B.S.=Bachelor of Slithering
or one interpretation of "B.S."
-otherwise he would confess to nothing!
Andy, is it true that another reason "the boss" made this move (exclusively reported by TBR) was because he considers Maxwell a 9 and Justa only a 5 on his best eyeliner days?
<golf clap>
--but Ghislaine is neither a blonde or a Barbie look-alike!
John, the job offer includes a blonde wig so she'll be fine. 👱🏼♀️
Anything to get rid of JD, but Ghislaine can't be VP because she was born in France to British parents.
Marge, you just provided an accurate forecast of his next Executive Order! 🤔
lol 😺😺
After Maxwell's prison sentence, they should be about equal!
At least she will keep his stock of nubile pre-adolescent girls up at acceptable levels. Melanie is getting a little long in the tooth.
Well there’s always the daily propagandist who is blond and wears a cross!!!!
--and, thus, will be safe from any First Lady's long teeth!
I think you mean “melanoma”
He tweeted her name as “Melanie” one night in his first term.
He'll move on to Ivanka at long last.
Yes, those long teeth just might draw blood!
I'd been thinking that trump decided to swap melania for grislaine, but then saw that the latter is the elder.
For sure! It must feel great to break the good news!
She'd certainly know how to put the "vice" in "vice president"!
As if Trump doesn't know enough about that!
She can save JD some time by leaving her eye make up in the prison cell.
Sean , great idea! And it's ironic that earlier this year JD thoughtfully named his couch "Maybelline ".
Hi Andy. Would fit right in with Trump’s idea of justice. He pardoned all the clowns convicted by a jury or Judge in the January 6th attempt to overthrow the election
Another great start to another week! I agree. I don't think Ghislaine will be up to anything stupid if she gets released, and even if she becomes VP, we all know they disappear anyway.
Teehee 😉👈💯💯💯💯👍

Pardoned, no; executed, yes.

Ghislaine is scheduled to make a press conference this afternoon where she explains that not only did Trump not take advantage of underage girls, he is trans and was seen in many of the photos of Epstein as an underage girl.
I knew it!
He only attended the parties to read Biblical passages to Epstein

I find The Atlantic pretty good. They have lots of articles.
Alexandra Petri is a gem. Thanks for letting me know how to find her work.👏
--and Trump wore gloves as the pages burned his little fingers!
Trump likes to use very inappropriate songs at his rallies. I am predicting that at his next rally he will have a recording of Maurice Chevalier singing “Thank heaven for little girls”.
Someone with media skills has got to do this. A leering perverse Trump overlaid with images of young girls.
Glenn, you are so funny!
What you've said is great, but I'm afraid my imagination can't take even a younger adult trump and put him into a teenage girl's body.
That's just you. Trump's MAGA supporters will totally believe it.
Good point. I do realize that my imagination is probably too literal in this instance.
...and in this case Susan...thank goodness for paltry pleasures.!
My imagination thanks you, Lynn. Definitely a pleasure to have that limit.
Susan, we all know what you're saying, but, please, rephrase it.
L.R., I'm not sure what you would like to see changed. I apologize if I'm dense here, but I'm afraid I don't get it. I thought what I described was what the original comment was talking about.
I'd best go to sleep.
I will always vote for sleep. And one never knows when their mind is going to land on a different perspective. I think it happens to the best of us, especially as we get older. Hope you get a good night's sleep.
Yes..you should.
No one, but no one, could ever make Trump look like an underage girl!
That makes total sense. Hiw did this ever get suppressed?
Well Epstein hid this fact out of embarrassment. You see, one evening after a party Jeffrey was seen running from his mansion yellng "Ewww! Ewww" Trump had fooled him for a moment you see. Now, don't go thinking that Epstein was anti-gay or anti-trans - the problem was Trump was over 50 years old and from Epsteins perspective about 35 years after his sell-by-date.
Very clever
Neither the Photoshop nor the plastic surgery lasted.
I simply cannot stop laughing....
Hilarious! 😺
I wonder if JD’s wife suggested this solution?
not only suggested, but she packed his bags. . . . hmmmm, wonder what's in them?
She’s shipping the couch separately.
-with the throw pillows?
Hahaha!
omg !! :-) !!
Yes, to Trump in secret! She wants a new couch from IKEA before the tariffs hit!
Great idea. I would want JD Vance to serve out Ghislaine’s sentence in a men’s prison in El Salvador. I’m sure Vance would do fine there.
he's going to need to shave his head and get a few tats before he moves in
Nixon and Trump one on each cheek
--which squish together in a glue squeeze!
he and Roger Stone can compare body "art"
As a new catholic, JD can proselytize among the heathen prisoners
All the older Catholics (see: me)
have heard hierarchy offer every lie imaginable for interfering with children. Keep Smokey-Eyes Vance away from Juvie.
I thought most for the prisoners were Catholic. Isn't there somebody in the U.S. Catholic Church in charge who is supposed to be complaining about the abuse.
From recent reports, the guards in the el Salvador prison are def sinners… JD can work on them🤣
Well, we hope so, don't we? I think the Los Angeles Diocese archbishop
has said or done something. I saw it briefly on the news at the laundromat.
Excellent suggestion!
I dunno JD may be a little long in the tooth for that crowd
He'd be the prettiest one there!
A perfect trade-off! That trump, he's such a deal-maker ...
no one makes deals like Monty Hall, errrr I mean, Donald tRump
Seems to me trump could have learned something from Monty Hall. At least his deals were real (to the best of my knowledge).
If only Donald Trump would go through Door Number Three and disappear!
like Narnia, but its actually Hell :)
I checked this on Snopes. It's true.
😝
<golf clap>
🏆
lol 😺😺😺
One time when Trump was on the island, Maxwell bumped into him and said "I beg your pardon." Trump said "Later".
<standing ovation> you, Sir, win the internet for the day (after Andy, of course)
Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll be here all week. Be sure to check out the buffet and fill out our survey.
and don't forget to tip the wait staff!
LOL!
Yes: "Buy Tesla stock immediately!
Is there all you can eat shrimp at the buffet? I'll pass on the orange jello!
🤣🤣🤣
I just saw a great new word thanks to Pizarro, the cartoonist of Bizzaro:
IQnon. It's very descriptive!
Love it!!
Perfect😂😂😂😂
How sad is it that this wouldn’t be his worst hiring decision?
Maxwell probably doesn't even know how to use Signal! Neither do many of us!
With the emphasis on VICE, no doubt.
Perhaps not everyone realized that this comment relates to making Ghislaine Maxwell the VICE President.
She'll give Trump foot rubs! Like she did Epstein!
Oh, my goodness, Andy! You have somehow broken into Trump‘s dreams!
What a frightening prospect!
Andy, you always put a smile on my face!
JD will write another book while in the slammer: Jailbird Elegy.
The elegy would be his own
Seriously, why isn't the media publishing excerpts from her indictment and her trial as a reminder of what scum she is, and everyone associated with these heinous people, including the Pardoner in Chief?
It makes as much sense to appoint Ghislaine VP, as it did for most of his other appointments.
Totally.
Word!
Actually Andy is correct I am also opposed to any pardon but making her VP would be a smart move for Trump. This would allow her to become a full time procurer of young girls for Trump. What could be better. Of course he has never met her or talked to her.
Oh, come on! He said he thought she might have fetched coffee for him once.
