Yesterday, Miles Taylor, who worked in Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security for two years, including as its chief of staff, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post detailing the ocher abomination’s horrifying management style, which included turning “DHS, the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, into a tool used for [Trump’s] political benefit.” Taylor wrote…

New record high in US COVID cases, Trump administration tries to divert CDC data
Trump continues to ignore the COVID-19 crisis, trying pathetically to divert attention with cranes, weights reminding us of the Python 16 tons, and trucks. because this is what deregulation does not look like, but only idiots in the WH PR team would choose Monty Python weights WaPo’s Philip Bump addresses how Taskforce head, Pence frames the…
Is the Trump administration preparing to disappear grim coronavirus stats?
Turns out George Orwell lacked imagination. Donald Trump has already decried our robust (er, 23rd-ranked by number of tests per capita, but who’s counting?) testing regime because it makes him look bad. He’s said that if we didn’t test we’d have very few cases. Which sort of makes sense if you’re a blithering nitwit with…
Trump administration lifts silencer sales ban meant to protect our troops from ambush
Could Donald J. Trump hate our troops any more than he already does? No. No, he couldn’t. Apparently it wasn’t enough for Trump to ignore bounties placed on the heads of our soldiers in Afghanistan (yeah, remember that one?) simply because he has a dictator-man-crush on Vladimir Putin. Now Trump has caved (again) to the NRA and firearms industry…
Bolton book says administration was uber-corrupt and advisers laughed at Trump behind his back
No way am I going to buy John Bolton’s book. That gruesome, caramel corn-looking motherfucker won’t get a penny from me. But, hey, the enemy of my enemy is (very temporarily) my friend, even if he looks like Wilford Brimley fucked one of Saruman’s orcs. And The New York Times has one of the first…
New ad, 'They lie, you die,' unravels administration's latest whoppers
Trump has a new Mouth of Sauron, and she’s picked up where Spicey, Sarah Huckleberry Slanders, and the Invisible Woman Whatshername left off. And this new ad from Meidas Touch really does a great job of shining a klieg light on her elisions and outright lies. It’s hot off the press. Watch: x 📺 NEW VIDEO…
The Lancet: “(Trump) administration is obsessed with magic bullets”
“Other things have never had a vaccine and they go away,” 'The Lancet,' one of the world's most respected medical journals, harshly criticized the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic and suggested that Americans should look for new leadership during the upcoming election https://t.co/NqF0zho6n6 pic.twitter.com/TlrBnoSAsB — Forbes (@Forbes) May 15, 2020 Trump hoaxes continue to…
Former Obama official: Trump administration is turning 'health expert' into 'climate scientist'
Unless Ivanka or the inventor of the Egg McMuffin happens to be reading this, it’s a good bet Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about you. If Trump could kill off half the country and still get reelected, there’s a good chance it’s all but certain he’d do that. So we’re probably not going to see…
NYT: Trump administration planning to 'wind down' coronavirus task force
Another job well done. Uh, medium rare. Er, baking in the sun like maggoty roadkill. The New York Times: Trump administration officials are telling members of the coronavirus task force that the White House plans to wind down the operation and it’s not clear whether any other group might replace it. Breaking via NYT: Trump administration…
Trump administration nabs counter-Russia cash to help build southern border wall
Having spectacularly failed to deliver on every POTUS’ tacit promise that he wouldn’t try to kill us all, Donald Trump is desperately trying to keep one of his oldest and stupidest promises: He WILL build a pointless, expensive, easily traversed wall on our southern border, and our military will pay for it. According to Bloomberg,…
Trump Org asks Trump administration for break on D.C. hotel lease payment
Wouldn’t it be nice if your landlord answered to you? Maybe next time we should think twice about electing a pr*sident with more conflicts of interest than functioning brain cells. The New York Times is reporting that the Trump International Hotel, which is located a few blocks from the White House, is seeking a break on the…
More lives could have been saved if Trump administration did social distancing guidelines earlier
Will Trump fire Dr. Fauci this week. More importantly will Trump even acknowledge the death toll other than saying “it’s a bad week” and babble some happy talk. He will promote the debut of a economic reopening council only to divert attention to the now 22,000 deaths. President Trump’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, calls the…
KY-Sen: Amy McGrath (D) Puts Pressure On The Trump Administration To Reopen Health Care Enrollments
Received this e-mail from Amy McGrath’s (D. KY) U.S. Senate campaign: As I write this, millions of Americans have lost not only their jobs, but their health insurance—in the middle of a deadly viral pandemic. And they join millions more who weren’t covered to start. The obvious step for our leaders to take is to…
Joe Biden Wants His Administration To Build A Bench For New Rising Stars In The Democratic Party
Here’s something I wanted to highlight: Former Vice President Joe Biden said he could fill his administration with younger people to try to build a “bench” for the Democratic Party. Biden said during a virtual fundraiser Friday night that he has had conversations with “younger, really qualified people” who he says could be leaders in…
Biden needs to scream!!! Price gougers will be hunted down by his administration and punished
Do you want to know why the Chinese government survives. Because they do thing slike during the crisis in Wuhan the government tracked down and punished price gougers severely. Legend has it that many of them were shot (may not be true but I think many Chinese people believe it). In any case no matter…
Trump administration is just now thinking about lifting tariffs on medical supplies from China
Donald Trump has been rightly excoriated for dragging his feet when it comes to addressing the domestic spread of COVID-19. So what’s he doing now? That’s right — dragging his feet some more. (Those clown shoes offer a lot of protection from the asphalt, apparently.) Bloomberg is reporting that the Trump administration has “signaled a…
Fox News cuts away from Mike Lee's impassioned criticism of Trump administration briefing
Do not question Dear Leader, you plebeian cur! x Fox News cut away from Republican Sen.

Pompeo blamed Iran on Obama as Chuck Todd called out Trump Administration failure. There's a danger.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared on Meet The Press with Chuck Todd and blamed the Obama administration for the failure of Trump’s Iran policy. Mike Pompeo blames Obama for Trump’s Iran failure Chuck Todd displayed some smart pushback during parts of the interview with Pompeo. However, he allowed the Secretary of State to spurt out some significant…
Emails show Trump administration tried to justify withholding Ukraine aid after the fact
Wait, you mean Donald Trump’s decision to withhold vital aid from Ukraine wasn’t based on any sort of meticulous review? And so they had to create an ad hoc justification for … whatever the fuck he was doing? According to The Washington Post, a review of Trump’s decision to withhold aid from Ukraine unearthed documents revealing “an…
Administration preparing papers to take over land for Stupid Wall.
First they came for the land. The next thing you know, you are marching along a Trail of Tears. If Obama had done this he would have been kicked out so fast. This is horrible. The Trump administration is preparing court filings to begin taking over private land to build its long-promised border wall as early…
