This fucking guy. I mean, really. CNN: It does not appear President Trump will participate in a side-event at the G20 virtual summit focused on pandemic preparedness. The event — which is due to begin this hour — will feature remarks from the leaders of Germany, France, South Korea and...

Trump has pimped for the fossil fuel industries because it’s still about money, just like dialing back some election promises in order to reinstate them after election day. Because the Trump recession needs to be fixed, and taking back Congress will move re-regulation back to the clean energy agenda, rather...

Vanity Fair got hold of an unredacted copy of Bolton’s book, or parts of it at least. And what they found goes a long way to explaining Bunker Boy’s exploding head. The redacted version is bad enough: Trump was pushing Xi Jinping to help him win reelection by buying from the...

Live blog again if only to see what disinformation and outright lies will be presented, even if the MSM needs to not broadcast these live or should only replay the factual elements such as expert announcements. Otherwise they’ve become mini-MAGA rallies. 5pm — Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold...

It really kills Donald Trump that the U.S. doesn’t have labor camps to send truculent dissenters to. If he had his way, no doubt Chelsea Clinton would be hauling Chicken McNuggets up the White House Grand Staircase 24/7 like a Sherpa, as fitting punishment for being far too smart to...

What exactly have they sacrificed? Goats? Because that at least would be marginally believable. x President Trump: “I thought Ivanka was amazing at the G20, & I'll tell you the foreign leaders loved her and they just think she's great. She's very smart and she's done a great job. She sacrificed...

Actually, the sickening fawning that Trump lathers onto Kim Jong Un after the alleged murder of an American citizen, while continuing to develop nuclear weapons, is far more disgraceful than anything Dennis Rodman has ever done in North Korea. Rodman became a sniveling sycophant to Kim, but he was just considered...

Has anyone ever thought about sticking a meat thermometer in Trump’s head when he gets like this? I kind of want to know if there’s any chance he’ll self-combust. And I can only guess the thermometer would easily sink in as if his head were a half-baked meatloaf. Ha ha....

Trump’s decision to slap new tariffs on Mexico until Mexico stops airdropping Mexicans onto American strawberry fields and dairy farms will have serious unintended consequences, according to several Wall Street analysts. That is, it’s made the entire world aware of something bankers, building contractors, and Trump University graduates have known for...

Yesterday I wrote a diary about Russian state media’s taunt-fest at the expense of our feckless leader. The scoop came from Julia Davis, an expert on Russian propaganda who regularly monitors the country’s newspapers and broadcasts. Well, one day later, Russian media (er, Vladimir Putin) are still not satisfied with Donny’s...

Oh, how the mighty stupid have fallen. Two short months ago, the entire UN General Assembly, more or less, openly laughed at Donald Trump when he tried out one of his feckless boasts with someone other than Brian Kilmeade. Well, now it’s Russian state media’s turn to get in on...

And the cheesed*ck stands alone. From Axios: In a joint declaration released Saturday, leaders of G20 nations reaffirmed their commitment to fighting climate change by upholding the Paris Agreement — with the exception of the U.S. The United States reiterates its decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and affirms...

I’m still laughing. You know, I thought that the G20 meeting was supposed to be a serious matter, between serious world leaders. That swing-your-arm-back-a-foot, loud slap, thumb grab handshake between the two international pariahs, Putin and MBS that I was yesterday was the most juvenile display in the history of...

Tricking Donald Trump into lying is not exactly sporting. It’s sort of like hunting manatees with an Uzi and a stick of dynamite. But Robert Mueller has a job to do, and it looks like he may have just done it. The redoubtable Gabriel Sherman at Vanity Fair has given...

Josh Marshall at TPM flagged this Reuters article of U.S. Agricultural Secretary Sonny Perdue telling American farmers, “Yeah, you’re screwed by Trump tariffs.” Perdue said in an interview on the sidelines of the G20 meeting of agriculture ministers in Buenos Aires that the plan would include between $7 billion and...

To say that the slogan “America First” has a checkered past in the United States is an understatement of epic proportions. Launched in the spring of 1940 on the eve of Hitler’s conquest of France, Belgium and Holland, the America First Committee was an isolationist crusade which grew to 800,000...
