Clinging fiercely to the optimistic idea that social media can uplift and educate.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Reiter said. “It was extremely unusual and disappointing.”

So no, the new stories do nothing to improve Trump's situation, unless you have the critical thinking skills of a particularly slow-witted cashew.

6) WOW YOU PEOPLE JUST CAN'T HANDLE CONTEXT. The source for this information is Chief Reiter, who oversaw the case against Epstein. You know, the case that ended with a sweetheart deal engineered by two future Trump officials? So if we're supposed to treat Reiter as truthful, let the man talk:

5) CHERRYPICKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! My favorite part about this breathless nonsense claim is that it is predicated on the validity of the Epstein Files. So the DOJ drops 500 gigaturds of data and we're supposed to ignore all of it while holding up this one jewel of truth?
February 10, 2026 at 9:12 PM
4) IS TRUMP STILL "WISHING MAXWELL WELL"? Now that the spinner has landed on "Epstein was slime and I always knew it," how should we read his comments and treatment of Maxwell? The math ain't mathing.

3) THIS CLAIM IS INCONSISTENT WITH ALL THE OTHER TRUMP DEFENSES. Which version are we on now? Epstein's real, Epstein's a hoax, Epstein's invented by the Democrats, Trump was secretly working from the inside, why did Trump and Epstein stop hanging out, etc.

That's a lot of spaghetti on the wall.

1) TRUMP CAN'T CLAIM CREDIT. This is definitively NOT Trump "calling the cops on Epstein." This is Trump calling the cops AFTER they made their probe public.

2) TRUMP CAN'T CLAIM IGNORANCE. If we are to believe this quote, it explicitly proves that Trump knew Epstein was slime.
February 10, 2026 at 9:12 PM
This response is based on a confirmed report first covered by The Miami Herald. The former Police Chief told the FBI in 2019 that back when the allegations against Epstein came out, Trump called him to thank him for finally going after the guy.

This refutes the new MAGA defense in many, many ways.

We demand you follow rules that we not only refuse to follow but literally make fun of you when you try to enforce them!

Pretend they actually believed both prongs of their bullshit: 1) huge voter fraud and 2) voters need IDs.

Unless you WANT TO MAKE IT HARDER TO VOTE, you would EXPAND services. "We're worried about voter fraud, so we'll make 3 retirees run a location serving 150,000 people. That'll stop the steal."
February 10, 2026 at 3:53 PM
And that's *before* you actually pull up the Google machine to show the litany of objective data showing how *some* states seem to always be cutting down on those services...hmmm...
February 10, 2026 at 3:53 PM
Outside of the context of voting rights and NON-EXISTENT voting fraud, ask the average MAGA how they feel about the DMV.

They will describe hell, or at least purgatory.

Then watch the mental gymnastics when you point out that that is where folks will have to register to vote.
February 10, 2026 at 3:53 PM
This is literally Mike Johnson putting the "WhAt'S sO hArD aBoUt GeTtInG aN ID?" talking point on a tee for every douchebro who's "just asking questions" and every MAGA wife who pretends to be open to debate.

They will never ever hear the real world answer.

Because "no brainer" is exactly right.
February 10, 2026 at 3:53 PM
Sure is. If we leave the ID prices to the states, the red states can make getting an ID as costly and inconvenient as they want while we pretend we aren't suppressing the vote, all in the name of preventing virtually non-existent voter fraud. QED.

To sum up: these distractions don't impact your life, you should be more wary of the hucksters leading you by the nose, and it shouldn't take a personal connection to make you realize that <target minority of the day> are people.

It's sad, lazy, shameful, bullying...and it's incredibly effective.

But Part 3 is the really sad part. Because of my personal and professional experiences, I've had front row seats to multiple conversion experiences. The most reliable thing that finally breaks the brainrot is when someone they love is affected.

You can look up any legislator's voting history, speeches, and sponsored bills. Whew! Nah, man, that sounds like a lot of work, and "I don't really *do* politics."

Cut to their unhinged and misinformed rant on social media about how Bad Bunny should go back to his own country.

February 9, 2026 at 6:23 PM
But that's only part 1: Your shoe being untied means you could trip and fall; whether that swimmer is "really a woman" bears zero impact on your life.

Part 2 is that these ghouls know that teasing that part of your brain works every time, and that should worry you more than it does.

The same guys who will backpedal to "I don't care what people do in their bedrooms" are predictably easy to hook with a single (often made-up) story about any LGBTQ+ issue.

February 9, 2026 at 6:23 PM
Most of these right wing distractions have literally no impact on the people who seem to take the bait every time. The perfect example is guys in wraparound shades recording TikToks in their F150s suddenly super concerned about women's sports because of trans issues.

Doing the due diligence of confirming that a post is real is literally the only reason I still have an account over there.

Rare recent case of SNL actually nailing it with the "I'm starting to think...that maybe...it's possible...the things Trump says...might not be true."

Captured both the "welcome to the party, pal" element, but also the "unless I get a cookie, I'm going to retreat into hateful nonsense" reaction.
