Given that he has publicly put on ignore just about everyone who doesn't support his posts, there's little chance of him ever learning otherwise.

Except that Trump didn't blow the whistle on Epstein. It was already widely known that Epstein was being investigated when Trump called the police chief. It seems a lot more likely that he was trying to spin the story. That he was trying to extricate himself from being investigated. Deflecting much? You still offer nothing in rebuttal to support your claim that Trump blew the whistle on Epstein.

Who exactly am I attacking? Am I making personal comments? Or am I attacking faulty reasoning? You don't seem to have any cogent arguments to offer against what I wrote. So instead, it's you making personal comments. Leave my alleged "need to attack people" out of this and deal with the substance of what I wrote.

This is shocking. A person who disparages non-white people apparently has it in for Jewish people as well. Who ever could have predicted that?

Nothing rational to offer. Just empty insults directed at my comment and those of others.. It's remarkable how badly you have misconstrued this story and how you have nothing substantial to offer in rebuttal. You've got nothing.

This is hilarious. For starters, he clearly was not the first person to blow the whistle. And we know this because former Chief of Palm Beach Police Michael Reiter said that Epstein had already been arrested for soliciting prostitution. It's a lot more likely that Trump was trying to spin the story away from himself. There's no indication that he offered any useful evidence to the investigation. What's more, later on Trump denied that he had any knowledge that Epstein was a pedophile. Former Chief Reiter Michael Reiter says Trump also told him that Maxwell was Epstein's "operative". Also that she was "evil". This is the same person that Trump later said he just wished her well and didn't rule out pardoning. However, she was transferred to the most lenient class of prison even though those found guilty of sex crimes are usually barred from those facilities. https://time.com/7377403/trump-epstein-maxwell-files/ And there's the usual nonsensical and dishonest deflection: "The problem with the anti Trump fanatics is that they obsessively blame every ill in the world on him, and use libel, slander, innuendo, outright lies and made up conspiracy theories to attack him. That does a disservice to everybody, because it makes even legitimate criticism look like a bunch of crazy BS. Screaming the sky is falling like deranged lunatics insures that nobody looks up when this guy actually does fall." Stick to the facts of the case instead of indulging in nonsensical hyperbole.

It wasn't exactly random but it was meant for another. It had nothing to do with you. My apologies.

If any proof was needed if how unpopular Trump's tariffs are, this is it. Most Republicans really don't want to be seen as supporting tariffs by opposing this resolution which opposes 25% tariff being imposed on Canadian imports.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s bid to block future votes on President Donald Trump’s tariffs failed Tuesday after an internal GOP revolt. Three Republican lawmakers, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Kevin Kiley of California and Don Bacon of Nebraska, joined Democrats to defeat a key procedural measure 217-214... Tuesday’s defeat appears to end a nearly year-long effort by Republican leadership to shield its members from politically difficult votes on tariffs, as voters and businesses tire from the uncertainty fomented by Trump’s favorite geopolitical tool. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/02/10/congress/gop-revolt-sinks-effort-to-block-votes-on-trumps-tariffs-00775107

Report Shows RFK Jr. Plainly Lied About Samoa Visit When Being Confirmed Newly released emails show that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. openly lied during multiple Senate confirmation hearings last year when discussing his 2019 visit to Samoa, after which a horrific measles outbreak killed dozens of young children. Kennedy visited Samoa in June 2019, during a time of high interest in the country for anti-vaccine activists. Two babies died in 2018 in the country after they were injected with a tainted vaccine, which investigators found was not related to the vaccine itself, but the nurses’ faulty administration. Afterward, however, the government suspended the measles, mumps, and rubella, or MMR, vaccination program for 10 months — the period during which Kennedy visited and met with top government officials. Tragically, later in 2019, there was a measles outbreak in Samoa that led to the deaths of 74 people, over 60 of them under 4 years old. https://truthout.org/articles/report-shows-rfk-jr-plainly-lied-about-samoa-visit-when-being-confirmed/

And the others all quit because...?

I was expecting some comment like this. You are missing the point. Impulse criticized the Post for its business acumen. I simply pointed out that the decisions taken by Bezos alienated its readership. Whether that was a decision that improved the quality of its journalism is another matter.

Thanks for the correction. I got it wrong. It was the most watched halftime in NFL history.

Actually, only the second most watched. NEW YORK – February 10, 2026 – An estimated 124.9 million viewers watched Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, according to Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel measurement. NBC’s presentation of Super Bowl LX ranks as the second most-watched Super Bowl in history, behind the 127.7 million viewers who watched Super Bowl LIX in 2025. https://www.nielsen.com/news-center/2026/super-bowl-lx-delivers-124-9-million-viewers/#:~:text=NEW%20YORK%20%E2%80%93%20February%2010%2C%202026,Nielsen's%20Big%20Data%20%2B%20Panel%20measurement.

As Nate Silver pointed out, Jeff Bezos went out of his way to alienate the audience most inclined to subscribe to the Post. It hemorrhaged subscribers after he announced a shift to right for the Post.

"The Trump administration was handed a new legal loss on Tuesday as it failed to secure an indictment in connection with Democratic lawmakers who urged members of the military and intelligence community not to comply with unlawful orders, NBC News reports. The collapsed indictment bid came as several of the lawmakers declined voluntary interviews with federal investigators—and as the Pentagon escalated, then imposed administrative action against U.S. Senator Mark Kelly—highlighting an extraordinary confrontation over free speech, congressional protections and civilian-military norms during President Donald Trump’s second term." https://www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-fails-to-get-indictment-for-democrats-over-illegal-orders-video-11501200 Well, to be fair to those who argue that this wasn't a political prosecution, at least the Trump administration did consult with the Justice Dept's Public Integrity Section before going ahead with the attempt to indict....just kidding. The Trump administration actually abolished the Public Integrity Section. "NBC News also reports that Pirro’s office pursued the indictment with political appointees rather than career prosecutors and noted the Trump administration's dismantling of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, a traditional check on probes of members of Congress." Anyway, this latest failure must be delighting all criminally inclined ham sandwiches. As well as leaving the DOJ with egg all over its face. Hmmm...ham and eggs!

Here's what Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce secretary said about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein in an interview with Miranda Devine, a far right journalist: "My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." "I was never in the room with him socially for business or even philanthropy; if that guy was there, I wasn't going because he's gross." "That's my story. A one and absolutely done" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8_s4Z2TQAE These quotes can be found starting at about 2 minutes and 30 The interview took place in October of 2025. Lutnick claims that his final encounter with Epstein took place in 2005. It turns out that he later visited Epstein on the island with his family. The correspondence between them look awfully friendly. https://abcnews.com/US/howard-lutnick-prince-andrew-mentioned-latest-epstein-files/story?id=129720051

Once again making it personal. Which means of course that you've got nothing.

For one thing, there is no proof that Joe Biden even to the extent of one cent by the dealings of his son. The threat that Hunter might made occurred when Joe Biden was no longer in office. And the amounts that Hunter Biden earned from his dubious activities were piddling compared to what the Trump family has collected. From Gemini AI: Estimated Earnings and Net Worth GrowthRealized Profits: As of early 2026, the "Trump’s Take" tracker (operated by the Center for American Progress) estimates that the family has pocketed over $2 billion in liquid cash and gifts since the November 2024 election. Net Worth Spike: According to Forbes, Donald Trump’s net worth jumped from roughly $3.9 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion–$7.3 billion by late 2025. This increase is primarily attributed to his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) and new crypto ventures. Yearly Income: Reuters calculations suggest the family's annual income soared nearly 17-fold in 2025, reaching approximately $864 million—up from about $51 million the previous year.

Instead they found a guy who decided to make it worse. To sacrifice it to his other ambitions.

Zhao, a Chinese-born Canadian billionaire, is the founder of Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange. In 2023, he was convicted of money laundering and eventually served about four months in prison. Binance was also convicted, subjected to more than $4 billion in fines and forfeitures, and was banned from operating in the United States. Zhao pleaded guilty, and the platform accepted the severe penalties and sanctions because the government’s case was overwhelming. As the Justice Department put it, Zhao turned Binance into a covert funding channel for “terrorists, cybercriminals and child abusers.” And yet, President Donald Trump pardoned him https://www.nationalreview.com/2026/02/the-corrupt-pardon-at-the-center-of-trumps-uae-windfall/ Trump seems to have a soft spot for drug dealers and their enablers.

You are missing the point. Jeff Bezos decided to suck up to Trump which is the reason why its audience has shrunk so sharply.

And what has this got do to with your claim that "Socialist/Leftist activist groups" are behind the demonstrations?

They have succeeded in getting indictments before. How did that turn out?
