Flaily McFails is in rare deform lately. He’s never been able to land a solid punch on Joe Biden so he’s reverted to his default setting, which is to just get crazier and crazier until something appears to stick. But for some reason when you look, talk, and behave like the guy who keeps getting kicked out…

Sr. WH official: 'There are reports that COVID is spreading like wildfire through the White House'
So a plague is ripping through the White House and no one knows what to do or what’s really going on, as top officials downplay the threat and keep everyone in the dark. Man, that’s so against type for these people. New York magazine: With President Trump hospitalized for COVID-19 at Walter Reed medical center, officials spent…
Former West Wing official on POTUS COVID: 'It’s as if the campaign ended yesterday'
The redoubtable Gabriel Sherman has a post-POTUS-COVID dispatch from the wondrous, maskless land of the West Wing, where no one ever gets sick from a coronavirus that’s already killed more than 200,000 Americans. (Guess this all makes sense. Washington, D.C., is a blue jurisdiction, and the administration doesn’t really care about those places.) Oh, and hey!…
Super-competent Trump campaign misspells 'Nobel' on official campaign materials
I suppose they didn’t want to “panic” people by announcing that Donald “I Tear-Gas My Own People for Fun” Trump had actually been nominated for a real Nobel Peace Prize. For the record — yes, this is real. The Daily Beast: The unintentionally hilarious Facebook advert falsely claimed that the president “has achieved PEACE in…
Former UK official says Trump exploded with anger at Michael Flynn over missed Putin call
Can you imagine this happening if Angela Merkel had been on the line? Or one of Trump’s kids? Or his mother’s aimless, forlorn hungry ghost? Or Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies? (Well, that one might perk him up, come to think of it.) But Trump misses a call from Vladimir Putin and he throws a shit…
Ex-Trump official Miles Taylor launches anti-Trump group with former and *current* DHS employees
The suddenly very dreamy Miles Taylor — the former Trump DHS chief of staff who’s called his former boss, in a word, fuckingnuts — is back, and he’s bringing some of his friends with him. Taylor, who exhorted us all to vote for Joe Biden unless we want human decency itself to be flung heedlessly into space,…
George Will Makes It Official, Says He Will Vote For Joe Biden
It’s official: x In our @AspenInstitute conversation this afternoon, @GeorgeWill (never a fan of President Trump) told me he'll vote for @JoeBiden in November–the first time he's voted for a Democrat for any office. (His first presidential vote: Barry Goldwater.) https://t.co/rQ3xZVobrv— Susan Page (@SusanPage) July 20, 2020 The longtime conservative commentator said Monday he’ll cast…
A white Mississippi elections official is 'concerned' with 'the blacks' and their voter drives
Jones County Election Commissioner Gail Harrison Welch posted this nugget on her Facebook. Her defense is that she thought it was a private message. I’m a Election Commissioner in Jones County. I’m concerned about voter registration in Mississippi. The blacks are having lots events for voter registration. People in Mississippi have to get involved too. Thank you…
#TrumpRecession. It's official. Trump squandered a growing economy that he inherited.
Oh so brand-conscious Trump now has his very own recession. No, it’s not Obama’s. Trump has ended 128 months of economic growth, before COVID-19 hit. Remember the stock market is not the economy. x The only thing Trump doesn't want his name on: #TrumpRecession. — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) June 8, 2020 The U.S. is in…
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…
Former Navy Secretary Modly the latest Trump official to be coffee-boy'd
If there’s any muscle at all left on Donald Trump’s rickety Pocky Stick skeleton, it’s only because the inexorable atrophying of his necrotic torso is occasionally forestalled by his exercise regimen, which consists almost entirely of languorous spurts of golf cheating and the vigorous bum’s-rushing of former compadres under the bus. The number of former “friends,” business associates,…
Is it time for Bernie Sanders to make it official?
For full transparency I was a Julián Castro supporter and then an Elizabeth Warren supporter. Now I’m ready for the 2020 contest to really begin with Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump. But there’s one issue in the way and that’s Bernie Sanders. If this was a normal Presidential election year, I would…
Top WHO official rebukes 'some' nations for lack of coronavirus testing
Hmm. Who might he be talking about? Must be one of those “shithole” countries. CNBC: The World Health Organization’s top official criticized some nations for not doing enough to detect and contain the deadly coronavirus that’s infected more than 174,000 people across the world. There’s been a rapid escalation of COVID-19 cases over the past…
It's Official: Pandemic
The World Health Organization has just declared COVID-19 has reached the pandemic stage: BREAKING: The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared coronavirus a pandemic. The declaration signals that health experts believe countries should focus efforts less on containing virus and more on preparations such as getting hospitals ready to handle an influx of patients, stockpiling…
“Trump's Katrina” continues as he wears campaign merch on official business
How humane is the not-mean Trump: x A child devastated. Trump brings mindless, heartless babble to tornado ravaged Tennessee. Trump: “How did his parents do?” Official: They're deceased. Trump: “So his parents were killed. And his sister. So we're going to go see some of the folks.”pic.twitter.com/nvWryAbquY — Stephanie Kennedy (@WordswithSteph) March 6, 2020 Daniel…
Facebook made The Daily Caller an official fact-checker; here are the results
This is pretty chilling. x 2. On Friday, Politico published an article headlined “Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax.’” The Daily Caller declared this was “false information.” If you try to post the article to Facebook, this is what you see. https://t.co/AoMU8uhDR8 pic.twitter.com/aDS4Ogpo1y— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) March 3, 2020 x 4….
Rod Rosenstein's sister is a top CDC official, so naturally coronavirus is another deep-state plot
As we all know, conservative conspiracy theories can be deadly. Just ask the basement gimp at Comet Ping Pong. But if conservatives succeed in spreading their latest conspiracy theory like, well, a virus, we could be in for a really awful time. You may have heard that Rush Limbaugh recently equated COVID-19 with the common…
Top DHS official can't find key coronavirus resource, asks Twitter for help
So glad to see our government is on top of the coronavirus outbreak! Well, Rush Limbaugh thinks COVID-19 is just the common cold, and he has a Presidential Medal of Freedom, so I’m sure we have nothing to worry about. x I just tried again, and it looks like Johns Hopkins put the information behind a…

Trump campaign's official Twitter calls McConnell 'Cocaine Mitch'
It’s “Moscow Mitch,” idiots. Still, what the ever-living fuck? x Here's what Cocaine Mitch thinks of the Articles of Impeachment pic.twitter.com/WAgxwLKVjE— Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@TeamTrump) February 5, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”> Let’s leave aside the puerile nature of this.
