This is Mako. He has no regard for law and order, and more importantly, no regrets. 13/10
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The Epstein story isn’t going away, no matter how much President Sex Pest outright SCREAMS that people stop talking about it, so that’s pretty funny.

1. Release the Epstein files! 2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed 4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again

As Morning Joe’s Jonathan Lemire pointed out, “Trump’s efforts to try to quell this storm, his Truth Social post [was] nearly a thousand words over the weekend, [have done] exactly the opposite. There’s real, real anger here.”
Even Fox News is demanding that the administration explain its decision to not release the Epstein files, calling the issue a “ticking time bomb.” Even the wife of one of his cabinet secretaries, Rachel Campos-Duffy, is out here CALLING HIM OUT.
Speaking of Campos-Duffy, hey, Fox News, why did you choose to edit this part of your interview with then Candidate Predator? (For those who don’t know, they aired the part where he said he would declassify the Epstein files, and then cut out the part where he changed his mind.) And if he can sue CBS for falsely editing an interview with Kamala Harris, couldn’t she sue you guys for omitting this?

Now, Occam’s Razor would explain that the guy who refuses to release the Epstein files after promising to do so on the campaign trail might have something to hide in said files. But you’d be surprised at how many of his followers are incapable of that simple arithmetic, in part because they’ve been trained to believe that all the evidence, photos, and videos showing President Cult Leader with Epstein is somehow fake. It’s mind-boggling, and it’s causing real cognitive dissonance among the conspiracy-brained QAnon branch of MAGA. I don’t know how this all ends — history has taught us that he can slip his way out of any situation — but it would behoove the Democrats to keep pressure on this particular issue.

Anyway, after yelling at his followers to IGNORE THE EPSTEIN FILES WHICH DON’T EXIST BUT IF THEY DID EXIST THEY WERE CREATED BY BARACK OBAMA, didn’t work, he tried distracting folks with his usual nonsense, including threatening to strip his old nemesis Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship:

Rosie O’Donnell is not one to back down or cower, however:
“King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.” I mean, come on.
Oh, and someone hacked Elmo’s Twitter account to post a bunch of hateful antisemitic bullshit and to call President TACO a pedophile because we live in deeply strange times. (Elmo’s account has been secured, by the way.)
Skydance is already making moves to make CBS News more conservative.
From Nick Offerman on whether Ron Swanson would be MAGA:
Ron Swanson, a wonderful creation from much more brilliant minds than my own, people hold up for the wrong reasons, and take their own reading of this true Libertarian who was cool with everybody. And they somehow say, “Well, he had a shotgun, so he must be one of us.” Like, dumb people insist that Ron Swanson would’ve voted for Trump. And I don’t deign to answer myself. I take it to Mike Schur, the main creator of Ron, and he said, “Swanson would’ve despised Trump, because Ron loved capitalism. And Trump made the stupidest move you could make as a capitalist, which is to go into public service.” He would think he’s an absolute idiot. He would also despise him because he’s disrespectful to women and many others. And that’s just an example of all the people and value sets that Ron would despise, because Ron is a good person.

Supernatural has a FAR better success rate at coupling people up than The Bachelor.
High Potential and Shifting Gears were the highest-rated new network shows of the 2024-2025 season, which is particularly interesting because Shifting Gears was on the renewal bubble for a while.
No, there will not be more new Twin Peaks, and nor should there be.
Emily will be in Venice this summer.
The rumors that Kelly Clarkson is stepping down from her talk show continue.
Love Island crowned its winners last night after a particularly tumultuous season that saw two contestants removed for having posted racial slurs on their social media, contestants receiving vile death threats, and couples seemingly reluctant to couple up.
Again, please stop threatening Love Island contestants.
PRESSING QUESTION ANSWERED: Yes, the Love Island kids do swim in that pool, but they aren’t shown in it because they can’t take their mics into the water. Which is funny, because Bachelor in Paradise seems to have figured this bit of technology out …
Rick Springfield is not here for your yawning during his interview.
Pay some respect to soap opera writers, they accomplish the impossible.
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the death of Shannen Doherty, and many of her friends posted tributes to her, including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Tori Spelling. Ian Ziering also posted, having not publicly acknowledged her death when it happened, and this line about losing Doherty and Luke Perry stood out to me, personally: “That kind of loss doesn’t fade. It just rearranges the furniture in your heart.“
Take care of yourself, “Supernanny” Jo Frost!
Get better soon, Richard Dreyfuss!
Oh no, feel better, Jeff Lynne.
