Trump slammed with new Epstein nightmare - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen

[TexasTowelie]

BTC: Dr. Oz is in the Epstein Files. My diagnosis, not great. This is just another day.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and if you're feeling bad because you're a little unprepared or you haven't reached out to that special someone with a plan yet, give yourself a break because at least you're not this guy.

Jen Psaki: Trump's administrator of Medicare and Medicaid, Dr. Mehmet Oz, appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentine's Day party in 2016.

BTC: Yes, it turns out that Mehmet Oz isn't just a sham physician profiting off of false claims about diet pills and olive oil. He's also the love doctor and by that, I mean he loves hanging out with pedophiles.

Recently, it was discovered in the newly released batch of Epstein files that Dr. Oz and his wife emailed Epstein an invite to their party, I assume using that popular website, Shameless Post. But hey, maybe in the Oz household, Valentine's Day is no big deal. You know, like how Martin Luther King Day isn't a big deal in the Trump household, just an unimportant holiday that doesn't need to be acknowledged at all.

Dr. Oz: Happy Valentine's Day. All right, my prescription for the best way to stay healthy for a long, long time is to stay connected to those around us who we value. But celebrating love in our lives doesn't just have to be within a romantic relationship. So reach out to family and friends and especially older people in our lives and use Valentine's Day as an excuse to strengthen all kinds of caring connections that we have.

BTC: That's right. Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to reach out to that sexual predator you've lost touch with. Dr. Oz invited Jeffrey Epstein to his party 8 years after Epstein registered as a sex offender. So for anybody who was pissed off that they didn't make the cut for Dr. Oz's party then, now you can be even angrier that he chose a rapist over you.

Now, Dr. Oz's invitation to Epstein does not mean that he's implicated in any illegal activity. It just makes him another rich white guy more than happy to overlook Epstein's heinous crimes. Does that make him a scumbag? Yes. Does this make him an even bigger one? I'd say so.

TV Announcer: Jeffrey Epstein's accusers.

Victim: I never ever told anyone the details of what happened that day.

TV Announcer: The side you haven't heard until now.

Victim: I walked into this room. It's a dimly lit room with a massage table. Jeffrey came in. He walks in with a towel. Threw his towel off of himself. The panic started to sink in. There was a whole strategy to it. Telling me to touch him. He began to sexually abuse me.

BTC: Look at this motherfucker's face. His look of shock and disbelief is not from the gut-wrenching trauma that this woman had to endure, but to his ability to make millions profiting off of their trauma.

Dr. Oz brought rape victims onto his show and pretended he gave a fuck. His crimes were already public, and this guy was inviting Epstein to his fucking parties only to then turn around and pull up the fainting couch when speaking to his pal's victims on TV. You know, I'd ask how he sleeps at night, but I don't feel like getting pitched a pill that doesn't work.

Now, just in case you're keeping score, this brings the number of Trump officials implicated in the Epstein files to too many and the amount of people who've been fired to zero. Yesterday, the president even addressed the latest revelation that his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had been to the island.

Reporter: President, were you aware that Secretary of Commerce visited Epstein's island? And do you continue to have…

Trump: No, I wasn't aware of it. No, I didn't. I actually haven't spoken to him about it. I wasn't.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Hasn't even spoken to him about it. I mean, you'd think it would at least come up in conversation around the coffee machine, right? How was your weekend? How are the wife and kids? How was your seaside lunch with our mutual friend Handsy Hitler?

Yes, America is the greatest country in the world for people who want to shmooze with sex offenders and not lose their job. And for perspective, it ain't like that in the rest of the world. As a result of the having their names appeared in the Epstein files, a former Norwegian prime minister is being charged. In Dubai, the CEO of one of their largest port operators got fired and a Canadian physics professor stepped back from his job over his correspondence with Epstein. I presume they were working diligently on the theory of raping everything.

But lest you think no heads are rolling here in America.

CNN Announcer: Fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files has now reached one of the largest investment banks in the world, Goldman Sachs. The bank's chief legal officer, Kathy Ruemmler, now says she is resigning.

CNN Panelist: Uh there's one example we found where Ruemmler sent Epstein uh a message on his 62nd birthday in 2015 to wish him well. Writing, I hope you enjoy the day with your one true love, adding a smiley face. Epstein replied with a raunchy note and an apparent reference to masturbation. Writing, they say men usually give a name to their penis as it would be inappropriate to make love to a total stranger.

BTC: Kind of refreshing to know that besides being a total monster of a human being, he's also an unfunny old man. The reality is Dr. Oz is going to suffer the same fate as everybody else in this administration who had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which is to say there will be zero consequences.

And that's because the entire ethos of Donald Trump's White House is protecting wealthy elites. Since Trump descended down that golden escalator, his whole narrative has been that he has your back. That while he may have been extremely successful in business, he too was once just like the rest of blue-collar America. A simple, hard-working boy with perfectly normal sized ankles who through sheer grit and $413 million from his father was able to realize his dream. And because Trump had your back, because he was one of you, this brave man was more than willing to put aside all of his financial aspirations and do the thing that he knew this country needed most.

Trump: Drain the swamp. We're going to drain the swamp of Washington. We're going to have fun doing it. We're all doing it together.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Exactly. Drain the swamp. No longer will Washington elites and their wealthy friends be allowed to fly on their private jets and stuff their pockets full of cash while millions of Americans grapple with finding a job, paying for healthcare, or simply providing food for their family. No. Those days of America's upper class succeeding while the middle and lower class struggled were going to be over.

Trump: We're going to win so much you may even get tired of winning.

(cut to studio)
BTC: But it turns out Americans are tired for an entirely different reason.

News Announcer 1: A new report from the Congressional Budget Office says millions of Americans could lose SNAP benefits due to expanded work requirements included in the Trump administration's spending bill.

(cut to video)
News Announcer 2: A recent report says that some of the industry's most exposed tariffs are now losing jobs.

David Muir: At the White House tonight, President Trump acknowledging healthcare premiums are about to skyrocket for more than 20 million Americans.

(cut to studio)
BTC: While Donald Trump cut jobs, cut food assistance, and cut health care from the millions of people who need it most, he jammed a bill through Congress that gave tax cuts to billionaires. And all of that financial favoritism toward our nation's wealthy elite would be bad enough, but now he's extended his complete “fuck the poor” mindset to victims of sexual abuse.

He could have released the files on day one. He could have ordered Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche to rain hellfire down on any of Epstein's co-conspirators. Or at the very least, he could show that he has the backs of Epstein's victims by firing anybody who happily socialized with that disgusting monster. But he didn't because he has the backs of his CMS Administrator, his Commerce Secretary, his Fed Chair appointee, his appointee as Secretary of the Navy, and his Deputy Secretary of Defense, his favorite campaign donor, and even his low-level campaign staffer who tweeted out that racist video.

Donald Trump does not care about helping anyone but himself and his rich friends. Each and every one of them are members of an elite club where wealth, privilege, and power is paramount, and well-being of others doesn't even cross their minds. They are morally bankrupt bottom feeders who don't have a single excuse for their incredibly shameful behavior.

Dr. Oz: Happy Valentine's Day.

BTC: Nice try.

1. Great transcript. I've watched BTC so often that I can hear his voice in my head as I read.
