THE TRASH REPORT: Fascists are Babies, Celebrities are Silly, Rich People are Horrible
Briefly

Weeks-long mental-health sabbatical produced exhaustion, detachment, and reduced interest in negative news. Coping was likened to pigs cooling off in slop, suggesting collective resilience through comfort. President Trump deployed the National Guard to ordinary American cities, framing the move as a public-safety response while appearing to divert attention from Jeffrey Epstein-related material. Republican supporters justified deployments by claiming D.C. is too dangerous, though that stance conflicts with pro-gun and tough-guy rhetoric and prompted accusations of cowardice. Threats to send forces to liberal cities raised questions about portraying leftist populations as both weak and dangerous. Newly released transcripts reference Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein files.
Helloooooooo Trash Pandas! Welcome back to the Trash Report. I'm your girl Elinor Jones, fresh off a weeks-long mental health break "sabbatical." This summer has been fun, but it's been busy and I was fresh out of jokes to make and fucks to give, so I needed to rest. I've also been oddly tuned out of the news, because it's just so very bad... but if pigs can cool themselves down by rolling around in slop, then so can we.
President Donald Trump has been pretty effectively making people stop talking about his murdered best friend, Jeffrey Epstein, by unleashing the National Guard on regular-ass American cities. Republicans who support the effort are saying D.C. is simply too dangerous ( it's not), and like, aren't these the same motherfuckers who say they love guns? I thought they were supposed to be the tough guys. What are they afraid of? Seeing a poor person? What absolute loser cowards.
They're threatening to come to other cities in blue states, and I imagine Portland is on the list... but I don't totally understand how they can try to paint leftists like little beta scaredy-cats while also being afraid to come here? If the inhabitants of liberal cities are such feminized weaklings, why do they need the armored vests and tanks to come visit? Are we pussified snowflakes, or violent criminals? Because we can't be both.
