The Daily Schtick: Valentine’s Day Massacre of Sanity – 14–16 February 2026 Edition

Donald J. Trump is mentioned more than 1,000,000 times across the unredacted newest 3-million-page Epstein files dump — an entire wing of the archive is basically the Trump Annex.

The loudest “don’t you dare release this” lawmaker was Rep. Clay Higgins, the lone House vote against forcing the Epstein files into the light, whining it would “injure innocent people” while 427 of his colleagues said “open the vault.” Senate Democrats earlier slow-walked subpoenas for the flight logs, with Dick Durbin blocking Marsha Blackburn’s push for a full records dragnet.

While past Representative Marjory Taylor Green has stated that the principle person guilty of blocking the release of the files is President Donald J. Trump.

14 February: Love in the Time of Lawfare

Valentine’s Day in Trump’s America is flowers for the base, subpoenas for the boss. While couples posted heart emojis, Attorney General Pam Bondi spent her week grilled in Congress about why DOJ is drip-feeding Epstein documents and leaving key names and patterns buried under redactions. Lawmakers from both parties openly threatened new penalties after DOJ admitted it had “no real enforcement teeth” to obey the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Trump’s line keeps shifting: he downplayed the files for months, attacked Republicans pushing for disclosure, then pivoted to “we have nothing to hide” once it was clear the dam was breaking. Meanwhile, new reporting shows Epstein’s communications repeatedly name-checking Trump, claiming he “knew about the girls” and never actually kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago. If this is “nothing to hide,” I’d hate to see what incriminating looks like.

Representative Jamie Raskin viewed the unredated files. He did a simple search for the name Donald J. Trump. He got over 1,000,000 hits. You must not wonder why he does not want them released. He knows what he did.

15 February: Epstein Files – The Trump Saturation Layer

By the 15th, reporters had crunched some horrifying math: Trump appears tens of thousands of times across tips, emails, logs, and cross-referenced documents—more than 38,000 mentions in one NYT-reviewed slice alone. CBC’s analysis of earlier congressional dumps found at least 1,500 references just in that subset, many in emails, estate records, and press clippings Epstein saved about Trump’s rise.

The substance ranges from:

• FBI tips alleging Trump forced a minor victim to perform oral sex in New Jersey roughly 35 years ago.
• Emails where Epstein claims Trump “knew about the girls” and never truly banned him from Mar-a-Lago.
• Flight logs and social calendars showing overlapping circles of donors, lawyers, and “friends of the program.”

DOJ insists “no charging decisions” are on the table, but that’s less a vindication than a confession about who the justice system was built to protect.

16 February: Courts, Files, and Fascist Cosplay

By the 16th, the Trump–Epstein nexus merged with the administration’s broader legal losing streak. Federal courts keep nuking half-baked policies—from Schedule F-style civil-service purges to surveillance-adjacent power grabs—because agencies ignore evidence, skip procedure, and treat statutes like suggestions. It’s government by tantrum, corrected by judges with patience and a PDF of the Administrative Procedure Act.

Simultaneously, political heat over the Epstein files keeps rising:

• Jamie Raskin got a glimpse of still-unredacted material and hinted there’s more connecting Trumpworld culture to Epstein’s universe of abuse than the White House wants to admit.
• MAGA is torn between screaming “witch hunt” and pretending the 38,000+ Trump hits are all meaningless coincidences.

And through it all, ICE remains the regime’s favorite blunt instrument—terrorizing immigrants, arresting people for filming them, and acting like public oversight is a crime while real predators flew private to private islands.

Today’s Schtick

So: Donald J. Trump shows up over a million of times in the Epstein files, a sitting president with a footprint in a trafficking archive big enough to need its own damn floor. The loudest fight against transparency came from Rep. Clay Higgins and Senate gatekeepers like Durbin slow-rolling logs—proving the “law and order” crowd only loves sunlight when it burns someone else.

Fuck Donald J. Trump for treating a child-rape dossier like a PR problem; fuck MAGA for worshipping a man whose name is woven through those pages like mold; and fuck ICE for serving as his street-level terror squad while the real monsters traveled first-class.
