On Monday the House Democrats got a copy of The Badly Damning Birthday Book. Immediately everyone saw that TBDBDB did prove the Wall Street Journal’s story about both its existence and President BFF With A Pedophile’s contribution to it. I knew it was going to be tasteless and cringe, but I honestly did not expect how flat out disgusting it was, right down to the body of an adolescent girl.
And then on Tuesday the whole book was released. And it was weird and disturbing, and clearly paints Jeffrey Epstein as a creepy weirdo who was openly obsessed with sex, and especially sex with young and/or underage women. This one image sums it all up:
It sums it all up because the building in that drawing is not Epstein’s house on his private island. The building in that drawing is Mar-a-lago. It’s disgusting.
And that leads us to PBWAP’s contribution and the administration’s response, which was to just say absolutely anything to get people to talk about something else:
Leavitt: "The president has one of the most famous signatures in the world, and he has for many many years … the president did not write that letter. He did not sign those documents. He maintains that position and that position will be argued in court."
I love the idea that PBWAP is once again going to sue over the letter since his suit against the WSJ for reporting the letter’s existence went so well.
And Jim Comer has suddenly lost his appetite for investigating:
In the end a big chunk of the media decided to debate what the meaning of “is” is, leading us here:
CNN hosts make sure to mention during Epstein segments that "we've seen no sign of wrongdoing on Trump's part"
and here:
Oh come on

PBWAP even took a ride (2 blocks) to a nearby restaurant to get people to talk about something other than his friendship Epstein:
REPORTER: Did you sign Epstein's birthday letter?TRUMP: It's not my signature. And it's not the way I speak. And anyone who knows me for a long time knows that's not my language. And frankly you're wasting your time.
It’s not going to work. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and is only just beginning to shine. I’ll leave you with this:
🤪🔥 The stoopid…it BURNS! OK, MAGA maniacs, for the sake of an argument that you won’t undestand, I’ll agree it is a forged signature. Now, tell me who hated Donald so much 22 years ago they forged his signature on an adolescent-boystyle birthday card, got it bound into a book of elites, and made sure Trump won a second highly improbable Prez term all so they could destroy him NOW?! Who could that be?
🤔 Maybe it was just the real signature of a stoopid, childish man-boy who was never in his life accountable for anything, knew his bawdy crap would stay hidden, and didn’t wanna be Prez back in 2003!! Do you think that could be?
🤬 DO. YOU. THINK?
