"So you're telling me there's a chance."We laughed when the "Dumb and Dumber" character uttered that but that attitude was reflected in real life by a New York magazine writer which makes it even funnier. Yes, the extreme Hopium expressed by that magazine's Intelligencer section senior editor, Margaret Hartmann, over the incredibly slight possibility that Jeffrey Epstein's postcard letter to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar might be valid is made hilarious by its sheer desperation despite the much less than million to one chance that it could be true.

Melania Trump is a world-class snubber. She skipped almost every event of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, only returning to regular political spouse duties late last year, as she had a memoir to plug and a lucrative documentary project to film.

The Bidens have been quite pleasant to Donald Trump since he won the 2024 election — some might even say unreasonably pleasant. Despite all the nasty things Trump said about Joe Biden during the campaign and his ongoing threat to have a special prosecutor “go after” him, Biden still invited Trump to the White House last month. And Trump told the New York Post that he had a lovely interaction with First Lady Jill Biden at the reopening of Notre Dame on Saturday: “Very nice. She couldn’t have been nicer,” Trump said about their talk. “It’s politics. You have to...
