Faux v. Real Outrage

Former top Trump Org exec on company's longtime controller: 'He's going to talk'

Previous Guy's Republican States of America: lots of ring-kissing and revenge fantasies

Calgary Cruz heads south, admits he's a corporate lackey. Matt Gaetz falls under that party bus.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Ted Cruz admits he’s a corporate shill but like Matt Gaetz’s procurer, Joel Greenberg, prior crimes don’t count if you can get a pardon, even from the press. But hey […]

Insurrectionist experiences 'shock' over being held with people accused of 'inner city crimes'
I’ve never seen so many snowflakes in my life, and I grew up in Wisconsin. It’s still mind-boggling that so many Trumpaloompas thought they could storm the U.S. Capitol, openly engage in a violent insurrection, and […]
the Prince Consort is dead, long live DMX at fiddy, and 1,2,3…many Tucker Carlsons
We’re now at that strange nexus where Brian Kilmeade’s attempt to pin Prince Phil’s death on the granddaughter-in-law fits other anti-semitic and racist tropes fronted by Fox News. This because of counting artifacts in threes. […]

Where are you from? (The Coast) How long have you been here? (I look at my watch and say 50+ years)
More “bad days” ahead. We’re not going to throw up our hands even as social media now shifts to predictable Islamophobia. Notable is that the shooter in Boulder bought his gun on the evening of […]
