    Erin, I salute you sharing your personal story about venous insufficiency. It's so important that someone in the realm of media actually knows what this condition is and how it works. The white house press can't be trusted.

    re: Trump at the UFC thing, men can wear condom catheters. so it definitely would not be that much of an inconvenience.

    side note, the internet rabbit hole of speculation about his use of diapers is not one a sane person should choose to go down.

    Yeah leave the opera-house alone when there's an island that could take the trumps name. TrumenStain insland?
    Sunday morning fun, thanks. Most enjoyable!! ❤
    Too many coincidences to my year. Swolen ankles after an op, cathater after an op. A wish to take over the world? Is he copying me?
    Siphalis, ROFL!

    Swollen ankles can be indicative of a lot of things. Speculating is pointless. Could be venal insufficiency, heart, kidney issues, use of corticosteroids, nutritional deficiencies, etc…

    The reason JD Vance was chosen was because Peter Theil wanted him to be VP. I've always heard that once they set up an Authoritarian framework, as they now have at least somewhat the plan was to get rid of tRump. It sure seems to be playing out that way. And you've highlighted why tRump is so screwed. There are likely many copies of very incriminating evidence against tRump out in the world now.

    28:37 I love connecting politics to movies and TV shows this feels like JD Vance thinks he’s Ray Targaryen and that would make Donald Trump the mad king Targaryen and it’s only a matter of time before the mega sphere that is Trump‘s cabinet goes the way the Art Targaryen familypregame of thrones with the dance of the dragons, but everybody trying to pump up the new prints only for them both to die horribly metaphorically😂

    Melania is an illegal on an illegally gotten Einstein visa and not working but grifting… has to leave the country. I really think it is sad when someone calls you ‘as dumb as a brick’ (Epstein to his biographer) but in her case when she is blaming Obama about his birth certificate… I don’t care, do you?

    Trump has the same symptoms as my dad did. He had swollen lower legs and bruises on his hands and other places because of the blood thinners he was on and he died of congestive heart failure. You both are great. I love your show and the humor and laughter. Keep up the amazing work 😊

    Love you ladies. Epstein had ties to Putin. We know that from the Deutsche Bank scandal/massive fine because Epstein, like BLOATUS, was the recipient of improper loans allegedly guaranteed bu Putin's AlfaBank. How did Epstein populate his island with (allegedly again) underaged girls from former Soviet republics? Tevfik Arif, Trump's former business partner, was busted in Turkey for running a brothel involving underaged girls aboard a yacht. Tevfik is an oligarch with ties to Putin.

    Then there's the open question about how Epstein was a billionaire with no trackable source of business income other than that he was an "investments advisor". Okay, blackmail, sure. But if one has blackmail material on powerful foreign big shots, who would pay more for that than Vlad?

    As for Maxwell, she actually does have an incentive to rat out Trump. She could take Trump's irreversible pardon and then flip to the media. If indeed Epstein was a high level blackmailer, no one would know more about what compromising information like that is worth than her. In fact, getting it out there in public ASAP would be the best life insurance policy she could get against one of Putin's umbrella-toting assassins.
