the letter is a bullshit distraction as far as I'm concerned. Trump may or may not have written it. with the way the media operates these days- I'd lean towards he probably did not write it. you want me to believe it- then show me the proof. not seeing any proof right now. but at the end of the day- who fucking cares. it does not change THE FACT that Trump had a very close personal relationship with Epstein for well over a decade.

Does that somehow mean he was involved in Epstein’s crimes?

I do not know. Epstein was very clearly a sick person and liked 13-15 year old girls himself- it's unclear how long Epstein was running that scheme- but there is zero doubt he had major ties to US & Israeli government and was working with US & Israeli intel agencies since the '80s as a money launderer/fixer for Iran-Contra operations- which is why none of this is ever going to come out until long after we are all long gone and dead. 

The fact remains however that Trump was MUCH closer to Epstein and his madam Ghisilane than he lets on- which at minimum the details of which would be highly embarrassing for Trump. Trump also met Melania through Epstein according to some pretty concrete reporting out there- and there is a lot of smoke that she was a high class eastern european hooker before getting with Trump. 

as far as the WSJ releasing an article about this- color me shocked a Rupert Murdoch owned publication is trying to pile on Trump and smear him. Rupert Murdoch absolutely fucking hates Donald Trump's guts- that is not exactly a secret.

Interesting clip -


https://twitter.com/collinrugg/status/1789686106184921114?s=46&t=Cp3usE5AFRqIBrUa4s1Gtg
yeah, sorry there's nothing interesting about that clip. whores gonna whore and lie and super rich old guys gonna cheat on their wives. nothing interesting about it. at all.

she's a whore who fucks men for money. Trump is a dirty ol' rich sleaze ball who loves pussy and paid her to have sex with him and then paid her off to shut up and keep quiet about it because well if it got out it'd be embarrassing to him and his family.

And it will go nowhere.

You can be slightly slanted and slightly funny, or very slanted and very funny.  You cant be very slanted and slightly funny.  Colbert had a lane, and he is awful outside of it.  Thats why he got cancelled.  Not because he is very left, but because he is very unfunny in this medium
this. he was such a disappointment- and he's basically just a sell out establishment hack at this point- which is kind of sad because his comedy central days on the Daily Show and Colbert Report were flat out amazing.

his late night show absolutely sucked- and was tanking in the ratings for years- and CBS was throwing away good money after bad as ad revenue from their late night shows was tanking. CBS late night shows were pulling in around $439 million in ad revenue in 2018- and that number fell off a cliff to below $220 million in 2024. And the 2025 figures will probably be even lower.

Those late night shows are extremely expensive to produce- hundreds of staff, camera crews, and elaborate studio production sets- not to mention they were probably paying Colbert around $20-30 million a year. It got to the point where it wasn't worth producing, and Colbert was frankly just really bad at the job and a poor fit from the beginning- and the late night show is just a dying medium. Colbert was the first to go- but Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel won't be far behind. The networks are just going to ultimately get out of the late night show business. No one cares- no one watches- the boomers are dying off and are the only ones who watch- the millennials and gen-z don't watch that dog shit- this isn't 1977 where there are 4 TV channels and everyone watches Johnny Carson at night. most people just don't give a shit about network tv's hacky corny dumb ass late night shows.

Heh, I had no idea ratings for late night shows were dropping so rapidly, since I haven't watched any of them since the Letterman on NBC days, but when I went to google and entered "ratin" it immediately auto-populated with "ratings for late night television shows."

Which I thought was pretty funny.  Must be a hot topic for investigation.

It's nice "we" as a country don't have any significant issues to discuss beyond Epstein.

like everything else, it's politicized and sensationalized. 

CBS is a major for profit corporation who is all about one thing, the bottom line. When your ad revenue from a product goes from $439 million a year to under $220 million a year and is trending downwards ever greater- yeah you're probably just gonna cut bait and kill the product. Between what they were paying Colbert every year to paying the salaries of the hundreds of other staff- they were probably breaking even at best or even losing money. And with basically zero potential of growth and it being a decaying dying market- they were always going to just cut bait and some point and shut everything down and get out of that business.

Well I dropped out of the ratings over 30 years ago, but apparently somebody was still watching during that time... somebody who no longer is.
A bunch of somebodies, apparently. ;)
