Kevin McCarthy Just Tried To Blame Nancy Pelosi For Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Holocaust Remarks…. because he’s not feckless, but he’s still a blockhead. Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history....

Remember when Trump said: “I know people that like the Confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery”. Maybe we can finally get to that obstruction of justice because the former United States President tried to blackmail Ukraine into helping him cheat in our 2020 election. We’ll have more chances...
Statue of the “other guy” arrives at CPAC, the annual owning the libs festival and meat market. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is underway in Orlando, Florida, opening with a 2020 election conspiracy supercut, a video heralding cancel culture “victim” Gina Carano and a gold statue of ousted president Donald Trump raising eyebrows in the Hyatt Regency lobby...
Old Pharaoh Trump’s going to spew more nonsense this weekend, including the Big Lie. Trump will make his first public major public appearance to grift for the next pyramid scheme. CPAC 2021 is set for Feb. 25-28 in Orlando, Florida, where the lineup of far-right speakers will include former President Donald Trump as well...
Riot declared at 1:49pm. Pence evacuated at 2:26pm. The count is now $3.5 million supporting the 6 January demonstration, up from the $2.7 previously reported. The approach by the House impeachment managers is to not hold the GOP jury members accountable, rather showing how Mitt Romney and VP Pence nearly...
More will be revealed now that Trump is out of power and Congress is moving quickly to the second impeachment as the trial begins 8 February. Lawfare ahead, getting medieval again. They won't! Nor will the Kremlin (same thing.) Unless he and his sycophants are prosecuted they will continue to...
Not unlike the armed Michigan state house protest, RWNJs think taking over the Capitol chambers makes American great. CNN calls this seditious conduct. One person has been shot on the Capitol grounds. There is a 6pm curfew in DC and the National Guard has been called. (Getty Image) x Here’s...
Yesterday on Reliable Sources, CNN’s Brian Stelter interviewed his colleague Jake Tapper about the Trump years, which I kind of thought would end in spectacular fashion like a Hindenburg Hindenberder crash but are instead gradually pissing out like a leaky balloon at a children’s birthday party. And Tapper, who frequently interviewed Barbie Riefenstahl Kellyanne...
Lack of standing is the reason for SCOTUS dismissing the Ken Paxton suit to overturn the votes of four states. Meritless frivolity remains. x #BREAKING: #SCOTUS throws out Texas's suit attempting to challenge presidential election results in four battleground states, granting Texas leave to file its complaint but summarily dismissing its...
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...
Angry baby strikes again, ignoring the rules to exact revenge on those who did their duty. Mark Esper will probably not be the last firing, but for today this will divert attention from Trump signaling that he will run again in 2024 to continue the grift. Not unlike other cabinet...
If 70 million voted for Trump, the GOP expects that number or more will rise up to nullify the 2020 election and overthrow the government. Just remember that Kimberly Guilfoyle Humiliated the Trump Campaign by Offering a Lap Dance to the Highest Donor. Expect more stunts that won’t finance what they...
It hasn’t been called yet, but the signs are there and Biden-Harris will speak to the nation tonight. At this writing the swing state margin of victory is less than 2016, but that should change much like the overall plurality is historically high. Trump could try to corrupt the elector...
Desperate Trumpists might be a bit late to obstruct the polls, assuming that law enforcement actually does their constitutional duty. “…the most effective modern disinformation is defined by what scholars call “censorship through noise”—drowning out the truth with a barrage of lies, distortions, and conspiracy theories designed to confuse and...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Debate commission adopts new rules to mute microphones to allow Trump, Biden 2 minutes of uninterrupted time per segment. (Then mikes turn back on & candidates have at it.) Trump will no doubt replicate his gish gallop attacks during the debate trying to force Biden into a...
An even more desperate Trump is on the golf course today, and the polling results are even more baked in. x After accusing Biden of being on drugs and Bloomberg of bribery, calling for the impeachment of a senator, repeating his usual vague insinuations about ballots and his usual vague...
The Democratic vice presidential nominee is coming to Wisconsin the same day Vice President Mike Pence will be in La Crosse. Joe Biden will go to Michigan and Pennsylvania. Jill Biden will go to Minnesota. Kamala Harris will go to Wisconsin. Recalling the Trump speech in Scranton PA during the...
Last night, as I watched 13-year-old Brayden Harrington’s inspirational and emotionally wrenching testimony about Joe Biden’s life-changing kindness and caring, born of Biden’s own childhood struggles with stuttering, I was texting with a group of friends — cynics all. We concluded that 1) there will definitely be stuttering “truthers” who believe Biden never...
Steven Calabresi is a Northwestern University law professor and co-founder of the uber-conservative Federalist Society. And he thinks Donald Trump’s latest fascist tweet is, well, fascist. x The co-founder of the Federalist Society, who voted for Trump and opposed both the Mueller probe and Ukraine impeachment, says the presidentâÂÂs tweet about...
The chaos continues as we’re only just beginning the scorched earth campaign on the way to the bunker. 167 days to go. It's May 19th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 19, 2020 Very old, Almost dead. 2/ This appears to...
A leaked CDC/FEMA draft plan tries to triage mitigation efforts, commodifies immunity without testing, and attempts to divert attention from Trump’s missteps. In the interim, swab and PPE shortages may be contributing to a decline in testing by commercial labs, which (of course) has nothing to do with keeping the case numbers...
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...
Lawlessness continues as Trump commutes a sentence and pardons others prior to the Thursday sentencing of Roger Stone. Trump’s celebrity pardoning of Bernard Kerik and Eddie de Bartolo Jr. is an attempt to media-frame the Stone pardon as well as Trump’s possible self-pardon. It also draws attention from demands for AG Barr’s...
Some final polls and trends before the caucuses. x FWIW, we're going to remove YouGov's poll today from our averages. What they published is really a MRP model, not a poll, and not comparable to previous YouGov polls of IA. Revised figures for top 5 are as follows:Sanders 22.2Biden 21.4Buttigieg...
Unapologetic democratic socialism will survive 2020, but if Trump wins, there could be no democracy by the 2024 election. Trumpists have been strangely obsessed with ignorant nonsense against a “radical left” Democratic party. x Omaha World-Herald: âÂÂBen Sasse announces reelection campaign, says 2020 is 'choice between civics and socialism'â https://t.co/SG1tkzyhlH —...
Don Winslow is the best-selling author of 21 novels. And, of course, you know Stephen King as the author of the definitive biography of Donald Trump, It. Well, they’d both like to see White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham actually hold a press briefing, which she has somehow failed to do after...
Today’s #ImpeachingHearings showed how corrupt Donald Trump really is. That means we have to step things up in 2020 + be louder than ever. To do that, we’ve set a goal of 500 donations by year’s end. Check out our message from The Five + donate below! https://t.co/CHb67cFu6V pic.twitter.com/rPEDvRQfR4 —...
This debacle continues as Trump claims he’s in favor of world peace, likely because he “lost” the Nobel prize to someone who brokered actual peace. Even more likely is that Trump’s holdings in Turkey were threatened and he was given a signal that this withdrawal would be favorable to Putin. This is shaping...
Pedophilia and sexual assault have never been deal-breakers within the GOP. Neither have the scumbags who protect them. Despite the fact that as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University, Rep. Jim Jordan allegedly knew the team doctor was sexually assaulting kids on the team, according to multiple former athletes, he did nothing to stop them....
On CNN this morning, Mike Pence tried to summon as much gravitas as he could — veering dangerously close to the event horizon of fatally constipated — in order to sell a few of those common-sense homespun lies that play so well in the heartland. He sounded like an ass...
Because of course he does. Eventually, Vladimir Putin will take Donald Trump on a snipe hunt and lose him in the woods, but until then, he’s his useful little idiot. I mean, why wouldn’t you believe a former KGB agent? They’re known for their honesty and probity. x Once again, the president...
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo may want to take gaslighting lessons from Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway. Or at least study their tape. He’s not great at it. (Pivot to Hillary, man! You’re going down!) On CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper yesterday, Pompeo and Tapper were...
When the doctor who somehow keeps Dick Cheney’s purpling corpse ambulatory talks, you should listen. The dude is obviously brilliant. And that guy is wondering why Trump’s doctor hasn’t released any information on the pr*sident’s recent physical beyond mealy generalities: x VP CheneyâÂÂs cardiologist has a question https://t.co/cHHlYeCkXV — Jake Tapper...
x 2/ One source: report will likely conclude that the operation was carried out without clearance and transparency and that those involved will be held responsible.
