📰 Epstein, Colbert, and the Banana Republic Blues — July 18, 2025

📺 CBS Cancels Colbert — Roxanne Calls Foul

Roxanne accuses "Nitwit Nero" (Trump) of strong-arming CBS into canceling The Steven Colbert Show, ahead of Paramount's merger with Skydance.

Trump reportedly demanded Colbert be fired for mocking him over the $16M hush payment.

Colbert was #1 in late-night, but that didn't stop Nero from gloating: “His talent was even less than his ratings.”

Roxanne: “We’re in a pathetic banana dictatorship now.” 🍌

Media mostly shrugged — another sign of a neutered fourth estate.

📂 Epstein Files — The Pedo-Ghost of Mar-a-Lago Past

Wall Street Journal publishes a disturbing birthday greeting Trump gave Epstein, curated by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Imagery: a Sharpie-drawn nude woman, a typewritten back-and-forth about secrets and enigmas. Creepy, coded, possibly incriminating.

Roxanne: “This is mutual blackmail — I’ve got s*** on you, you’ve got s*** on me.”

Trump, predictably: “Fake news! Democrats made it up!”

He threatens to sue the WSJ — again. (Never wins.)

📉 MAGATs vs Epstein Files — Colliding Delusions

MAGATs who've long screamed "Release the Epstein list!" now scramble to defend Trump’s name appearing on it.

Roxanne: “It’s like finding out the villain in your bedtime story was your hero all along.”

QAnoners, PizzaGaters, and Q-cumbers squirm as their narrative unravels.

Even GOP influencer-types now attack the WSJ to protect Trump.

💉 Trump Spirals — Cankles and Chaos

Roxanne speculates that Trump’s erratic behavior stems from fear over Epstein exposure.

Mentions “chronic venous insufficiency” (cankles), hand bruising, and the oligarchs potentially cutting him loose.

Trump’s paranoia deepens: “They’re not after me. They’re after YOU.”

Roxanne: “The gaslit base will believe anything, so long as it protects their messiah.”

⚖️ Corruption Fatigue — When Nothing Shocks Anymore

Roxanne bemoans a DOJ too timid to appoint a special prosecutor for January 6, but fully staffed to comb 100K Epstein files.

Sen. Dick Durbin reports FBI staff were told to flag any Epstein doc mentioning Trump.

Bill Barr’s dad gave Epstein his first teaching job. (Because of course he did.)

JD Vance may be the next MAGAT puppet if Trump gets tossed — Ivanka or Don Jr. floated as possible VP picks.

Tulsi Gabbard gets scorched as “Director Skunkhead Tulsi Gabbard” for calling Obama a traitor. 🐺

Clarence “Fappy” Thomas and Miss Lindsey Graham also appear in whispers about Epstein ties and kompromat.

👮 ICE, Cops, and the Lawless Law

Green card holder detained indefinitely after wedding trip.

Police brutality rampant: Cincinnati protestors beaten, Alabama officer kills Black detective — governor blocks video.

Roxanne: “Proximity to whiteness will not save you.”

The U.S. legal system? “Castrated, corrupted, conscience-free.”
