I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.
Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.
As I note in my piece, these are ACTUAL questions that NBC News's Tom Llamas asked Donald Trump in his 'extended' interview, while not asking a single question about Epstein, or challenging him on a single lie.

I fact-checked Tom Llamas’s deferential interview with the president, in which the 'NBC Nightly News' anchor did not ask him even a single question about the Epstein files.

NBC’s Softball Trump Interview Normalized an Abnormal President
I fact-checked Tom Llamas’s deferential interview with the president, in which the NBC Nightly News anchor did not ask him even a single question about the Epstein files.
“Epstein was at the center of all of this, which is how the elites operate… They're all hypocrites.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social asks Financial Times editor and columnist
@edwardluce.bsky.social how many other governments were involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
Watch:
zeteo.com/p/epstein-fi...What Democrats want :: What Chuck Schumer says Democrats want
NBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge.
Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump.
Our mainstream media is broken. Subscribe to Zeteo.

Read the extended transcript: President Donald Trump interviewed by 'NBC Nightly News' anchor Tom Llamas
Trump spoke about immigration, the Fed, artificial intelligence, the economy and more in the February 2026 interview.
this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children
“Can you imagine if Donald Trump was president and was sitting on a bunch of files that show Joe Biden is being accused of sex crimes?”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social discussed how Biden could have leaked Musk’s links to Epstein during the election …but he didn’t.

@eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE JACOB WOHL AGAIN!!!!
Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl
not everyone who emailed Epstein is a pedo, but rich, vain and stupid people need elite circles where you can get insider trading tips and say you fired your housekeeper for making eye contact, and with that comes more severe moral degradation you'd be aware of if you weren't halfway there yourself
100% agree with
@stuartpstevens.bsky.social. Stop the kumbaya stuff, Dems.

In 2013, I won a debate on Islam and peace at the Oxford Union. It went viral across the world, millions of views, and apparently an Emirati business then emailed the YouTube link to it to… Jeffrey Epstein. So now I’m in the damn DOJ files lol 🤦🏽♂️
Need to go take a shower now.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
Update
TO: World’s Biggest Pedophile
FROM: Elon Musk
SUBJECT: RE: Pedophile party on your pedophile island
Any other famous pedophiles going to be there? Looking forward to doing a bunch of pedophile stuff btw.
OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.
*Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

With Don Lemon’s Shocking Arrest, Trump Expands His Total War on Free Speech
The rabidly anti-First Amendment administration plans to keep escalating its fascist assault on journalists, activists, and ordinary Americans too.
It’s weird how the “if you haven’t done anything wrong then you don’t have anything to worry about” crowd is trying to illegally shield what they’re doing from journalists who are acting 100% within their rights and the law.
We’re just not a free country.
Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.
I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
Just a heads up @bmeier79.sky.social is a Blue MAGA bot. Big shout out to
@moderation.bsky.app for letting all these bots run wild to make it look like there's more traffic here than there really is. Y'all are just as bad as X 😂
ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
"the president may have told half a dozen lies in less than a paragraph"
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.
If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.
