Forty-four of the sitting fifty Republicans in the Senate put on their tinfoil hats, held up Q’s, ignored the Constitution, and voted against having a trial for the twice impeached former president. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who previously voted against having a Senate trial, was so unimpressed with Mr. Trump’s...

Trumpists keep repeating wrong numbers, hoping that the reiteration will magically transform them into the official count. Wrong-O, but they’re continuing the legal maneuvering. This time a GOP legislator’s suit tries to invalidate a GOP-passed law in order to throw out Democratic votes and fails in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. x 🚨BREAKING: We...
I took a break from watching Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story just now to check out some of Mayor NutFiddles’ “hearing” in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The world will little note nor long remember what Rudy said there today, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all have a good larf over it...
‘Your election is a sham’: Giuliani tells Pennsylvania ‘I know crooks really well’ x Rudy Giuliani is now speaking at the Wyndham hotel in Gettysburg — an event Trump planned to attend, but now will not. pic.twitter.com/YpylFi4A8O— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) November 25, 2020 Another failed PR stunt. Michael Bechloss calling...
There’s a meeting of Trump and GOP lawmakers in Gettysburg PA where they will discuss a fraud to which Rudy has yet to admit under oath in court. x Trump is expected to join his attorney Rudy Giuliani in Gettysburg, PA, Wednesday where GOP state lawmakers are holding a “hearing” on...
At some point early next year they’ll squeegee the COVID-riddled puddle of Trump tresses and asshole adipose out of the people’s house, but until then, the toxic diaper barge that is his campaign and presidency will continue to swamp the hopes of Republicans up and down the ballot. At this...
Started at 547pm ET Apparently like the Germans and Pearl Harbor, for Trump, the second World War ended in 1917. x YouTube Video Trump starts with more disinformation using a Virginia example Trump pimps stock market — usual blah-blah…. (550pm) whoa, something happened and Trump abruptly leaves after a secret service agent...
Trump’s self-fulfilling idiocy still needs to drive his numbers further down. Like punking his gun-toting followers, a desperate Trump thinks that having his GOP RNC acceptance speech at Gettysburg will do for his neo-confederate followers something, something Charlottesville. The Stephen Miller logic probably has more historical revisionist malarkey in the...
comparing the current Maine Republican Senator to predecessors such at William Cohen, Olympia Snowe, and especially Margaret Chase Smith, who directly took on Sen. “Tail-Gunner Joe” McCarthy in the 1950s. The ad even gets in Medal of Honor winner Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain from the Battle of Gettysburg. This ad makes...
The problem of Trumpian logic and math is that epidemiology has too many syllables. A “99% US survival rate” for Trump is the rhetorical acceptability of a million deaths. The weeks have become even more absurd as the election approaches. That 99% meme accompanies attempts on Twitter to convince people that masks...
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1-3, 1836 (as it happens overlapping with the end of the siege of Vicksburg). The newest ad from the Lincoln Project, pasted below, is of the text of the speech that Abraham Lincoln gave on that battleground the following November, what is considered...
NOTE: I would like to apologize for the use of some archaic language and painfully explicit descriptions in what follows. Difficult as it is to read, I believe it helps highlight true horrors in our past that Americans must confront. Even before the first protesters demanding justice for all took...
I’m sure you read Trump’s bonkers letter to Nancy Pelosi yesterday. It was like a bad literary acid trip. Halfway through I felt like plucking my eyeballs out with a Scout knife leather awl, soaking them in a bath of contact lens solution and Lestoil, and gingerly placing them back in my...
Former GOP Strategist Steve Schmidt appeared on All In with Chris Hayes recently. He did not mince his words as he excoriated Ted Cruz and Trump apologists equating them just short of traitors. Former GOP Strategist Steve Schmidt goes off on Ted Cruz & GOP “You see these Republican members...
Well, the walls are closing in on Der Gropinfuror at long last. Which will put the Pampers President under even more pressure. But if there’s one thing that can be said about Trump, it’s that he is grace under pressure. By that I mean that he says grace, and then...
