vanity – The Politicus

New book says Trump may have conspiracy-theoried his way to defeat; thought Dems would replace Biden

So I may be burying the lede on this one—on purpose for once. The buried bit involves a bit of classic Trumpian projection that, sadly and predictably, ventures into the offensive. (Skip ahead if you want to see it. I’ll never know.) But first, let’s take a look at the most...

previous guy lies low because he really wants back on Facebook, not because of snitches

Previous guy always expects the loyalty of mob silence Omertà, even when he throws everyone under the bus, it’s part of his personality disorder. The real goal for his relative silence might be the return to social media when Facebook reconsiders their suspension. He has a Parler account but doesn’t use...

'Not even student work': IT experts snicker at MyPillow guy's flailing 'free speech' site

After all the excitement surrounding the launch of Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell’s Frank Speech vanity project, things appear to have died down quickly. Earlier in the week, the site at least featured the collected works of the biggest ‘lection loons in the U.S., and there appeared to be a sign-up screen...

Vaccinations Are Averaging More Than 2 Million a Day; Trump Finally Supports Vaccines

More than 110 million Covid-19 vaccinations have taken place in the United States, of which about 90 million happened after Joe Biden took office. The 100 million vaccination pledge will be reached about March 20. Alaska and Mississippi are the first two states to widen eligibility to all adult residents. But...

20th Amendment: Trump wants delay to drag him over the finish line, but for #President Pelosi

Fortunately, Trump has telegraphed one of his tactical options to remain in power. x For nearly 90 years, the Constitution has contained a built-in safeguard against presidents who try to retain power beyond the end of their term: presidential power automatically passes to the House Speaker at noon on January...

Trump's Thuggery Will Cost Him the Election

Mangoface clearly thinks sending armed anonymous federal agents dressed in military camouflage into America’s streets to beat up, snatch up, and generally fuck up American citizens exercising their Constitutional rights will help him win re-election. (It also feeds his sadism, his narcissism, his feelings of power, but mainly it’s about...

GA-Sen B: Vanity Fair, “Kelly Loeffler (R) Can’t Decide If She’s Been Cancelled or Not”

So this happened earlier this: Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), who is a co-owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, has been outspoken regarding how she feels about the Black Lives Matter movement. She recently asked the league to make sure players don't put messages of social activism on their warm-up shirts....

Mask(s) Work, FULL STOP!

Real researchers, scientists, doctors, nurses, clinicians, grade-schoolers, and your aunt Karen, recognize that the wearing of masks reduces the spread of the coronavirus. Those who will not admit it, know their resistance to masks is because they think it does not go well with a Red Hat. Far from being...

Punk Plutocrat sprung a stooge, but like gaslight under a bushel, Stone cannot hide under a rock

“Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.” — Mitt Romney x Ã¢Â€ÂœThe president may have had the power to help his longtime friend.

The Mutiny Of “The Bounty”

Vanity Fair: Republicans To Cut Loose Trump By Labor Day? Don't You Believe It!

I think highly of Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman, but his latest piece with the information that Moscow MItch is giving Trump until Labor Day to turn things around or he is on his own is complete and utter bullshit. Nervous Republicans worried about losing the Senate are now debating when...

Trump 'furious' at Kushner over polling; Republicans giving Trump till Labor Day to right the ship

The redoubtable Gabriel Sherman has a new dispatch from the Land of Make-Believe (née the White House). Seems the current occupant, Donald John Trump, is feeling a bit like a gimpy gazelle flushed into one of Marlin Perkins’ nets.

Trump to Xi: “Make Sure I Win”

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...

GA-Sen A & B: Vanity Fair Highlights Why White Suburban Women Are Abandoning The GOP In Georgia

Vanity Fair has a great piece about the all the political turmoil the good state of Georgia is facing. Governor Brian Kemp (R. GA) has royally fumbled reopening the state during the coronavirus pandemic and U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R. GA) has been tarnished by scandals over her insider trading....
