Also what is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax exactly? Is it the files? Is it all of it? Is it that nobody else was involved?

The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax which happened under his term?

The files are real, I have them and I'm going to release them, actually, sorry, the files aren't real at all, I lied about that, actually, sorry, the files are real, but they're also fake, Hillary/Obama/Biden/Comey made them, I'm not on the files, but if I am it's because the Democrats wrote them, actually, sorry, the whole thing is a hoax, a hoax created by the Democrats, there are no files, but maybe there are, if there are the Democrats made them, but there's no files, it's all a hoax.

New YouGov poll out yesterday: "Should the government release all documents it has about the Jeffrey Epstein case"

- Yes: 79%
- No: 4%
- Democrats: 85%
- Independents: 76%
- Republicans: 75%

This is going to be a very hard thing for Trump to dodge

Just 4 percent of Republican-leaning respondents said they were satisfied, compared to 3 percent of the Democrat-leaning respondents.

Columbia University adopts controversial IHRA definition of anti-Semitism

The embattled US university says it has formally adopted the definition of anti-Semitism promoted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which classifies criticism of the state of Israel as anti-Semitic.

The move comes as Columbia carries out negotiations with the Trump administration to restore $400m in federal funds.

The IHRA, on its website, says manifestations of anti-Semitism “include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity”. Examples of this, according to the IHRA, include “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, eg, by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour” or “applying double standards by requiring of it [Israel] a behaviour not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation”.

Experts and human rights groups say the IHRA definition is problematic because it conflates legitimate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.

In April 2023, more than 100 civil society organisations wrote to the UN urging it not to adopt the IHRA definition.

The group, which included Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Israeli groups such as B’Tselem and Gisha, said the definition could be used to label as anti-Semitic “documentation showing that Israel’s founding involved dispossessing many Palestinians; or arguments, also made by some Members of the Israeli Knesset, to transform Israel from a Jewish state into a multiethnic state that equally belongs to all of its citizens – that is, a state based on civic identity, rather than ethnic identity”.

The group also noted that the example on “applying double standards” opens the door to labelling as anti-Semitic anyone who focuses on Israeli abuses, as long as worse abuses are deemed to be occurring elsewhere.

Even the author of the IHRA definition, Kenneth Stern, has expressed concern over right-wing Jewish groups “weaponising” it to silence critics of Israel.


And on the other hand weakening the actual definition of anti-semitism.

I'm curious how his approval rating will look like in 2-3 weeks. Will his followers start to abandon him or are they too obsessed with him for them to care. 

With some barbecue and beer on the weekend, they will all just talk each other into how Trump is still the man to be trusted.

Kind of like the weakening of the term Genocide?

Wouldn't it be lovely if they did.  I would love to not have to hear from him periodically after this term is up.  I don't want to see anything about his library, him campaigning for future politicians, nothing.  I am sure not to be that lucky but a guy can dream. 

“I’ve lost a lot of faith in certain people, yeah” — Trump attacks supporters of his who continue to care about Epstein

I still think most of them will rollover eventually but LMFAO he is tackling it in the worst way possible.

"We're going to gerrymander five states as much as possible, but if California acts in kind that's corrupt and we're going to sue."

NEW: “They won’t shut the fuck up about it,” Trump privately vented — referring to conservative influencers and media types lashing out over the Epstein memo — according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

Charlie Kirk, who had backed down on the Epstein criticism after getting a call from Trump, is now once again talking about it, claiming he's getting "hundreds of thousands" of complaints/comments from young men unhappy with Trump over the matter.

Let’s not forget that the prosecutor who gave Epstein a secret sweetheart deal back in 2007 — allowing Epstein to continue assaulting girls — was rewarded by Trump with a cabinet spot.

Alex Acosta gave Epstein immunity.
