Bob is out of commission after a successful hip replacement surgery this week as Mary Lou, Chad and Haley discuss this week in American politics.
🔥 First up — Trump is freaking out over reports that his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files. After The Wall Street Journal broke the story, he allegedly told aides, “They’re going to f--- me,” fled to Scotland, and is now considering a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Even Epstein’s brother came forward to say Trump and Epstein were “very close friends.” Is Trump’s biggest scandal finally catching up with him?
🚓 ICE detains an Iranian dad outside his kid’s school in Oregon while the child waits in the car — despite the father being legally married to a U.S. citizen and having pending green card approval. Why are we doing this?
📺 South Park’s brutal season premiere features a naked, AI-rendered Trump seducing Satan. Yes, really. The episode torches Trump’s lawsuits, scandals, and even the Paramount merger. The White House calls it “desperate.” We call it art.
🗺️ In Texas, Republicans (under Trump’s pressure) are trying to redraw voting districts to secure 5 more GOP seats before 2026. It’s a mid-decade power grab, and Dems may stage a walkout to stop it.
🧨 Plus:
- Trump posts a meme of JD Vance - is it a sign that Trump hates Vance?
- Trump pardoned over 1,600 Jan 6 rioters, many with violent records.
- He just brought a convicted triple murderer into the U.S. as part of a prisoner swap — and now the killer walks free.
- And we ask: What are our favorite hats?
