Hey Icky, serious question. In some of your previous posts, you seem to suggest that the Trump administration is selectively releasing the "right" Epstein files. Are they just releasing the ones damaging to Democrats and enemies of the Trump administration (and withholding ones damaging to Trump and MAGA Republicans)?

When Dems embrace and promote people like Diddy, Weinstein, Epstein, etc., they are just socializing.

But Trump hanging with him is proof that Trump enabled pedophiles. Thems the rules.

Truth is the swamp is deep and murky. None of them have morals. All about power and $$. And for some, much more disturbing than that.

Just so we are clear…did everyone who hung out with Diddy offer protection for him and his disturbing crew? Because that would implicate the entire Dem party.

Goes both ways. Plenty of evidence Trump was “just socializing“ too. See that exact same excuse used here.

This is why full transparency is so important. They’re protecting each other. They all need to pay, not just Ds or Rs.

You’re role playing again. I haven’t said any of those things.

Right, but it seems like no prominent Dems want to go after everyone. They just want Trump. Now that the pictures released just show him with adult women, they won’t care again. A lot of people should lose jobs, and he publicly vilified. Both sides should push those people out of society. Some should be criminally charged. But it’s tribal, so people are only talking about Trump and Clinton. As you said, they all need to pay, but it’s tough without allowing the public to see all of the information. The swamp is protecting the big gators, and the true story about what Epstein was doing. And who he was doing it with.

I think it’s probably mostly Democrats implicated and is why nothing was done previously. That’s who was mostly in power when this was going on. (Trump was a Dem then too). Epstein also seemed to target celebrity and academics who tend to lean Dem.

Nothing will ever be done. Epstein was an op and those responsible still control our politicians.

Thanks for proving you are a very unserious individual! Can't even answer an extremely simple question. Pathetic.

Hey - maybe your tjfleck69 or UncoachIsMean personality will answer the question?
It’s very likely Uncoachisadouche is a much better and engaging poster than semi-r2d2. I got a kick out of that one. #rentfree

In the spirt of Christmas, I asked him a serious question and true to personality, he completely avoided it with an added insult. That is why an unserious individual is blocked by pretty much everyone.

Somehow, this thread is on page 101.

This was total BS. It was highly unlikely that new strains would be more harsh than the original. Each passing strain followed the standard. They gave it a tough name to scare people…Omicron. I still remember that tweet. It pissed me off beyond measure.
IIRC, I was in the rehab Center recovering from my second Moderna shot !

You didn’t ask a serious question. You invented positions I never took, literally two posts after you insulted me, and then demanded engagement. Peak attention seeking behavior from our chronically insecure hiking legend.

I wonder how long it will take Jeff’s EV to corrode in the fine saltwater air of Florida.


We have an apartment in Florida but my EV is in Illinois. Won't move to Florida full time until I am on Medicare.

Cost of Exchange Plan in Illinois 2026 $36,000/year
Cost of Exchange Plan in Florida 2026 $60,000/year.

That is why I won't move to Florida until only my wife will be on the exchange plan.

The latest photo that the phony pols (Dems & Massie) all have their pants in a twist about have Ep and a 30 year younger Trump in a photo with a young lady, WHO WAS 20 at the time of the photo.

Just like the photo that was the BS photo last 2 weeks that the Dems redacted, when found unredacted later , ALL THE WOMEN IN THE PHOTO WERE OVER 21 at time of the photo shot.

These women today 12/23/25 probably look more like Suzie, his Chief of Staff than Melania !

Face it, Trump has had millions of photo's shot with this or that person in the shot.

I venture to say there may even be a photo of me and Trump at various $ 1,000 a plate political dinners we attended thru the years, BOTH Dems and Reps.

RENT or MORTGAGE FREE !

If there’s nothing there then just release everything. Clinton just said release it all. Why is Trump still telling us to drop it?

In yet another exaggerated lie, you’ve gone from being in the same room as Trump to being in photos with him at various $1k dinners. LOLOLOL.
SO impressive!! You like to hang with pedophile lovers too!

Oh @JeffT819 !

4.3 percent GDP growth in Q3. The “experts” had predicted 3.3 percent growth. Looks like we are headed for 5 percent growth and once again the Atlanta Fed number was pretty close, but slightly lower than the truth.

Almost 9 months since Liberation Day and the conservative principles you abandoned are working. Debt down, taxes down, GDP up, investment up, stock market up.

The Joker will laugh at this, but simply amazing. Trump economic recovery number 3 well underway.

Icky’s wet dream was just that , a dream. Poor little raging boy will be upset that even deranged Joe Scarborough knows Trump isn’t a pedo

Oh well, TDS going to TDS

More fantasy role play from the hiking legend. I’ve never said Trump was a pedo. Yesterday he defended them though. Imagine having to defend Bill Clinton.

Prediction - there is going to be a massive rise in “chronic pain” and other conditions in Minnesota, similar to the surge in autism.

The fraud will be rampant, just like it is in other blue states that have mandated PFML.

Talking Points Memo.



So the president remains the most controversial figure in U.S. History. There has never been another president. And that includes Nixon, Bill Clinton, the whole crew, that has come close to President Trump in controversy. And he is the most famous human being in the world and the most dominant force in the world. It's a lot to lay on one human being. I don't even know if he sees himself as a human being. The guy works nonstop; he's got a pretty good vision in my opinion, but then he's prone to outbursts. And he does things that millions of Americans find objectionable. I don't. And it must be a gene I have. I am more interested in accomplishments than demeanor. But I understand those who disagree with me. I understand that you want a president to behave a certain way, and often, Donald Trump goes against that. Now, he believes it works for him. So he believes that his blunt assessment of the world mobilizes his supporters, and that's why he does it. There's a method to the madness, to use a cliche.

So let's examine this in a very methodical way, all right? No emotion. Here are Trump's main accomplishments in his first year. Sealed border, criminal alien crackdown, Gaza ceasefire, lower gasoline prices, crime suppression in Washington, D.C., Stable unemployment, inflation, high military recruitment, lower taxes for workers, higher defense spending from NATO, robust attempt to stop drug smuggling into the United States. Now, there are others, but I don't think anybody could quibble with that, all right? Those are accomplishments. And the criminal alien crackdown is the most controversial because non-criminal aliens get caught up in those sweeps. And we're gonna have a segment on it in a little while. Now, still unresolved, and this is vexing for President Trump, are the following. Tariffs. We just don't know whether his vision of a brand new manufacturing economy is gonna come true. Ukraine, that's Putin, and we have no power over Putin at this point. National debt continues to rise. China trade undefined. Chicago murder rate, that is the fault of the governor and the mayor out there. High beef prices, now that's a big one, because a lot of people like their steak and burgers, and high insurance rates. And that's even bigger than the high meat prices because it's draining working Americans. So those are unresolved. Now, I believe that Donald Trump knows about them all. He's trying, but they have not been rectified.

Now, I think that's a fairly honest assessment. I get emails every day from friends and people around the world, and they just don't understand Donald Trump. And I do. I understand him. I try my best. I'm not in business to defend the president. That's not what I do, all right? I watch him like I watch all powerful people. And he's not a perfect man, come on. Everybody knows that. But again, it's just constant drumbeat. Oh, he did this. He's so terrible. He did that. Boring. It's boring. He is not going to change. Now, if you believe that demeanor should be placed above accomplishments, that's your right as a voter and an American. Absolutely. Now, because he doesn't have to run again, Donald Trump's governing as a strong man, less compromised than he had the first time around. Again, he wants things done. He wants them done quick. And he's willing to go into court and he is willing to slug it out. Don't have any problems with that as long as you can justify your position. And then there is the revenge factor. Yeah, these people tried to destroy his life, Comey, Letitia James. And now he says, all right, you're going to go after me. You did this wrong, I'm going to go after you. People go, oh, it's revenge or revenge or, ah, retribution's a better word than that, in my opinion.

So the final thing, and I know, and I've actually said this, going back to Joe Biden is useless. However, it is perspective, and Biden didn't say much in his four years. I mean, very rarely, you know, he wrote, he read what they wrote for him, but he wasn't having a gaggle or answering questions. He wasn't doing any of that. And he didn't have any accomplishments. You know, I've said this time and time and time again, give me one. You know, a couple of things dribbling, you know, he lowered drug prices, and Friday, Trump announced a deal that, but we have to see it first, that drug prices will come down. And Biden did that a little bit, but that's it. It was ridiculous, really was absurd. What a waste of four years. Summing up, I think Donald Trump is now going to pivot to his legacy. He wants to be recognized as one of the great presidents. In order to make that happen, he's got to do two things: he has got to tamp down the controversial statements, has to. I don't know if he can. I don't know if he can. Okay? And then he's got to tamp up and explain to we the people why he does what he's doing. So, for example, Venezuela, Maduro's done. It's a matter of when he's out of there. And, but why? You know, I submit to you that most Americans have no idea who Nicolas Maduro is. I'd like to see more explanation. We talked about it last weekend, that rapid response team. Because if you're gonna go after a presidential legacy, you have to get on the record why you're doing what you're doing. Ronald Reagan was very good at that. For the last three years in his second term, that's what they were concentrating on. Reagan's legacy, they did a very good job. Very, very, and when I say they, he had a bunch of guys that he depended on. And if you read my book, Killing Reagan, we walk you right through it. But Reagan was very, very interested in going down in history as a successful president, so is Donald Trump. And that's the memo.

Hey dumbass. How many times do you need me to say I don’t think Trump is a pedophile?
Hey, evenbiggerdumbass. You’re on ignore. I rarely see a post of yours unless I hit “show ignored post”. If you don’t think Trump is a pedo, there isn’t any reason for you to be concerned with the Epstein files, which in fact were passed along to Congress. The only way files get out is provided they’ve been redacted to protect innocent victims. Of course that is how the Dems decided they could get away with posting Trump with redacted faces of adult models.

Pretty amazing that you all think it’s completely normal to hide information about pedophiles. Must protect at all costs!
It isn’t normal. I can’t control the uber rich who are on the list or the protection thereof. The CIA is obviously involved. The list does nothing to lower housing costs, reduce inflation or provide a much better future for children and future grandchildren. The Epstein files are a side show that deflects attention away from serious issues of which I voted for to be drastically changed.
