Rutherfraud B. Trump’s second term will doom any third Reconstruction, but before then, military ceremonies prop up his uses of the armed forces in political campaign stunts. Bringing cadets back to campus was only designed for another IMPOTUS* photo-op, and some self-congratulations: For the first time in 70 years, we established...

How insecure do you have to be to get jealous of a dog’s news clippings? Well, exactly this insecure (second tweet): x Trump whines about Conan the dog getting more positive press than him following the al-Baghdadi raid pic.twitter.com/QTk56O3kF1— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 20, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”> “Remember the...
What they do! They smilin' in your face All the time, they want to take your place The back stabbers Rudy Giuliani now calls John Bolton a “backstabber”. But McConnell thinks he’ll be able to “peel off” rebels by Friday to keep the Superbowl ball-spike acquittal on schedule. x Some Republican senators...
The republic is in trouble as Trump did his first rally of 2020, demonstrating that there will be even less difference between official speeches and campaign rallies. Shtick abides. This time, Trump whines that he “saved” Ethiopia, but he didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for it. He repeated the...
Yes, Max Boot is a conservative. But despite his Republican roots, he’s been one of Donald Trump’s fiercest and most consistent critics. That makes him useful — at least for the time being. And yesterday, he once again blew holes in the fragrant hunk of Swiss cheese that used to be...
Donald Trump praised a dog named Conan today for “his” role in the successful raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It could have been a sweet moment remembered fondly by all those who’ve somehow forgotten Trump is a steaming pile of tauntaun carcass who has never cared about a sentient being...
So many underlings doing their jobs, so much disloyalty. Mr. Trump first expressed his dismay about Michael Atkinson around the time the whistle-blower’s complaint became public in September. In recent weeks, he has continued to raise with aides the possibility of firing him, one of the people said. The president has...
Trump in Atlanta, GA. Trump is scheduled to speak at 3 PM at an event for the Black Voices for Trump Coalition. Appearing before him are Alveda King (a Trump-supporting niece of Martin Luther King Jr.), Herman Cain, Katrina Pierson, Mike Pence and Ben Carson. — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November...
Weird that the GOP defense could wind up: “I did it, so what – get over it” Idiotic that Individual-1 is trying with the help of his GOP buddies, to make impeachment into reality-TV kayfabe. No amount of extra campaign money funneled to 2020 vulnerable GOP senators can make them less vulnerable to...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1642. Denied assistance to immigrants low income immigrants applying for...
So, this afternoon drumpf tweeted RW The Daily Wire’s horrendously bad photo shop of his travesty awarding the hero K9 of the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid a medal for bravery, defacing a photograph of an actual Medal of Honor winner… The president tweeted out an image of the dog credited in...
Baghdadi-Bob apparently lapsed into fantasy as he turned a solemn announcement about killing a terrorist chieftain into a campaign speech complete with ad-libs. Trump’s next speech in Chicago used the mission as a ‘sir’ story which automatically challenges its credibility. https://t.co/DaYeK1Rhttps://twitter.com/samstein/status/1188997397025873926? Five senior Trump administration officials who watched in real time as...
Coming home to roost, no one wants to be caught being the scapegoat for the obvious movement toward impeachment. The music will stop, and there aren’t enough chairs. Neal Katyal says the House committees “have the goods” to move forward. Even Steve Bannon thinks Nancy Pelosi “will impeach the President”. MAYBE...
Unlike the President, I am big enough to say congratulations. Mr. Trump, thank you for being in office when one of the most hideous men in history was taken out by American forces. Thank you to the Kurds, who provided the intelligence, the fortitude and the blood that kept people...
Political Wire has a story behind its paywall this morning: Pence Not Willing to Defend Trump on Quid Pro Quo Vice President Mike Pence appeared on Face the Nation yesterday to mostly talk about the operation targeting Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. But buried at the end of the...
I’ve had bosses before who always seemed to do everything they could to disrupt our team’s progress, either through interjecting nonsense or making decisions that impacted the project without thinking things through. In the end, if we still managed to pull it off, the guy would humbly try to take all of the...
Take this with as many grains of salt as you want but… Reuters “MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Sunday it had no reliable information on the U.S. operation that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, state-run RIA news agency reported after U.S. President Donald...
Donald J. Trump is his own al-Baghdadi Bob. General Gaslight’s bone spur bloodlust for oil kills the head of ISIS, but helps recruiting for Al-Q in the Global War on Terror… “as though you were watching a movie”. Trump was actually still playing golf during the raid. Here's the moment: Trump downplays the...
I hope the news reports are quickly verified, and we can finally declare Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead. He ordered the enslavement of Yazidi girls, threw homosexuals off of buildings, and brutally tortured and massacred the local populace. I’ve wanted him dead for many years. If the initial reports are accurate, then...
Considering the use of a self-detonating vest, let’s cut back on the Adderall, and hold my beer. If the Baghdadi rumor is true, I guarantee you that at his press conference Trump will: 1) Say "I got him" or "I killed him"2) Say "Obama couldn't get him, but I did"...
I’m not being facetious, and the title isn’t click bait. If our congress was more like Amazon, and we could all chip in a few bucks for “Prime, with free 2 day shipping” the Judiciary committee could pass articles of impeachment today, if that is, they only took one day off for...
Word out of Iraq from yesterday is quite different the what I see in the morning war coverage out of MSM/corporate media. — Over in Iraq the coalition has set up two large-scale victories in the north. — Same time, everyone over there observes a sea change to Sunni tribal...
All in all this looks to have been the worst week for the Islamists since May of 2011 when Osama bin Laden was killed and his files and computers were seized in the same raid. For every Saudi/GCC proxy in the area, they're in trouble. All across the board they're...
Nusrah Front/al-Qaeda in Syria lost its military commander and another dozen of its regional leaders. Coalition air power was able to act on detailed intelligence reports to hit the right buildings at the exact time Nusrah was having its main planning meeting. As with ISIS at al-Qa'im in Iraq back...
