The Guardian is now running the story of over 100 hours of tape that show 's close ties to . This is based on info from author Michael Wolff, who has been offering the story to American media for weeks--with no takers. The media is .

Will :toad:

The Guardian also recently revealed that in 1993, Epstein took Stacey Williams--a Sports Illustrated model and his girlfriend of two months--to Trump's Fifth Ave. residence where he allowed Trump to grope her.

It's also interesting to watch Gen Z discover the Access Hollywood tape for the first time on TikTok. Wondering why the now-convicted felon wasn't disqualified back in 2016. Good question.

On X, Seth Abramson is noting the 'major media blackout' regarding Trump simulating multiple sex acts on stage last night. Again, this should be disqualifying. But that's just me. The media is .

In all my working life as a speech writer I've never seen anyone step up to a podium and simulate oral sex with the microphone. I believe, had it happened, that it would have been notable and there would be consequences. The media is .

Just in case there is any doubt, CNN's headline is that Trump became 'visibly frustrated with the microphone at his rally.' So they overlooked the simulated sex act. Huh.

Trump's simulated sex act comes days after he made a point of focusing on Arnold Palmer's penis at a rally. The media is .

@WilliamRobert
We actually know why the convicted felon was not kept out of the White House after the Access Hollywood tapes dropped though.

1) WikiLeaks released the Podesta emails one hour after they dropped because they work for the Kremlin.

2) James Comey violated DOJ policy for his Kremlin bosses to announce another email investigation into Hilary Clinton.

3) Trump has been convicted of election interference because he paid to silence Stormy after they became public.

@WilliamRobert

He did that to Putin one time, sitting across the table from him at one of the G conferences about 2018, I think. It's on video, if somebody can find it. I saw it. There was no mistaking that was what he meant. Putin looked dumbfounded and embarrassed.

@GoatRoper Well, that's in character. Performing for Putin is Trump's specialty.

@WilliamRobert

Absolutely 💯%.

Trump is a bad actor on many levels.

@WilliamRobert

There was an American station captain who was outed and killed by Aldrich Ames selling that secret info to Russia. He set up gay clubs to catch high ranking Russian military and proletariat doing stuff they aren't supposed to indulge in. Putin was head of the KBG at the time. I think he took trump to one of those Is the kompromat.
Trump has gay tendency in addition to being a rapist and pedophile of young women.

@deepmud Yeah, there's that. Someone tell CNN.

@TruthSandwich It would be on a loop on FOX, to begin with. Then it would be a media frenzy.

@WilliamRobert

And, naturally, Democrats would insist that she step down.

@TruthSandwich She wouldn't make it through the weekend.

@WilliamRobert Eight years ago female genitalia were the target.

@WilliamRobert

Jim Morrison intentionality did something similar during a performance but escaped to France before he could be arrested. I can't remember any politicians doing that outside of accidental hot mics picking up private conversation.

@WilliamRobert remind me again, what tanked Howard Dean - some microphone incident yes?

@WilliamRobert I actually had to go check you weren't joking

You weren't joking

Oh dear.
