CNN is airing a special where all of these doctors in the Trump administration are finally speaking out about the abuse and chaos that reigned when the pandemic first hit America one year ago. These people include Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Brett Giroir, Dr. Stephen Hahn, Dr. Robert Kadlec, and...

A noted piece of work, State Senator Hensley, a Sons of Confederate Veterans member, decided there were so many new ways to get a KKK founder’s statue to stick around in the usual battles of Tennessee culture. This particular 1978 bust is a Jim Crow monument with marginal historical value other than honoring...
Yeah, this was easy enough to predict. Part of voting against a COVID relief measure that polls better than dolphins riding glitter-farting unicorns on enchanted rainbow highways to free breadsticks and blowhole-waxing night at Olive Garden is that you’re morally obligated to sit back and take your lumps. But as we well...
Darn those performances in Zoolander and Home Alone 2. Trump again shrinks in media prominence to Reagan, because failing to get the POTUS* role in the Sharknado franchise is Trump’s actual star moment. Next week will feature a boffo performance in his impeachment trial deposition reminiscent of the 30 lies in his 2007 lawsuit. Likely it will be...
Fucking idiot: The Florida senator once again found himself in Twitter-roasting territory on Wednesday with his misguided tweet blaming the media for the rise of QAnon-sympathizer Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) within the GOP — conveniently ignoring his own history of enabling former President Trump to run wild with false...
The President wants the Georgia Attorney General to “find” 11k votes.
Typically, a Republican incumbent in Georgia should be a shoo-in for re-election, especially in a special election. Not this time. Early voting has been enormous in Georgia, breaking all records. By Dec. 7, over a million absentee ballots had been requested. Neither of these statistics bode well for Republicans. That party’s voters...
Johnny Virus-seed and his wife, Malaria, have done all they can to spread Christmas cheer and COVID in the past couple of months, and just because we’re about to shove DJT out to sea on an ice floe, that doesn’t mean they can’t keep disseminating freedom phlegm (in lieu of...
RNC Chair Ronna [formerly Romney] McDaniel and the Michigan Republican chair are trying more chicanery in Michigan today: they want certification put off until an audit is done. But under Michigan law, an audit can only be performed after the election is certified. RNC chair urges Michigan board to pause...
Ivanka and her brother retweeted an edited video of a violent right-wing perpetrator left over from yesterday’s Unite the Right 2.0 MAGA demo. An unedited version of the video shows the real depth of carnage. Apparently they’re trying to corner the less-attentive part of the right-wing media audience, perhaps in the hope...
Trump’s now doing shtick at his virus-fests, focusing on grievance and culture-war nonsense, nearly promising Michiganders that he’ll not visit Minnesota if he loses the election. “Remember that time Trump got Herman Cain killed?” x Trump says “lock them all up” as his fans direct “lock her up!” chants toward...
She’s so fucking awful: x Remember: China gave this virus to our President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @FLOTUS. WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.— Kelly Loeffler (@KLoeffler) October 2, 2020 United States Senator Kelly Loeffler directly blamed China for infecting President Donald Trump in a Friday morning tweet. In the...
That’s pathetic: The Texans for a Conservative Majority, a political action committee that supported other Republican super PACs, superimposed a photo of Democrat MJ Hegar on a dark background with the caption, “HARD LEFT HEGAR.” The photo, which was noticeably featured at the top of the group's website, shows the...
Of course he would: In some of his most candid remarks to date about the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner told a conservative crowd that public health advice and science have been politicized in recent months, causing an erosion of public trust. Gardner, a Yuma Republican, spoke in person to the Steamboat Institute’s...
I rescind my belief that Democratic politicians shouldn’t go on Fox under any circumstances. Mayor Pete forced their brainwashed viewers to confront reality. Most rightwing outlets have decided to just completely ignore this latest Trump scandal, where he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” and instead focus on Nancy Pelosi’s hairdresser. Faux...
Like the fantasy airline flights filled with numerous thugs, the delusional election stunts continue. The riff here is on “autonomous zones”. x This is the latest attempt to distract from the fact that COVID-19 has infected over 6 million Americans, killed 185,000 people, and destroyed the American economy. The only anarchy...
So this happened earlier today: Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who is fighting to keep her Senate seat in one of the country’s most notable races, said Tuesday she’s focusing on her own race, again offering no indication of whether she is supporting President Donald Trump. Collins was in Bangor Tuesday...
The GOP keeps trying to rewrite history as a quarter-million deaths lie ahead with a failed policy, as if any death toll could be spun positively. 3 takeaways from the first night of the Republican National Convention 1. A promise of optimism, quickly abandoned The GOP claimed that this convention would be...
So many people have been coffee boy’d by Donald Trump, you have to seriously wonder how much caffeine a person can safely consume before bleeding out their irises. The latest person/entity Trump is desperately trying to scramble away from like Sir Robin from the killer rabbit is the two-headed scandalmaker du...
The Keebler elf who remotely controls Trump from atop an enchanted toadstool is tripping balls again. Here’s the clip pic.twitter.com/b4NtCuEa2z — Brennan Murphy (@brenonade) August 4, 2020 TRUMP: “When they gaze upon Yo-semites, Yosemenites, towering sequoias.” Well, at least I have a new mantra in case “gate gate pāragate pārasamgate” doesn’t...
What a fucking moron: Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said Hispanics in his state have higher rates of coronavirus and are less likely to social distance and wear masks. “Wear the mask out of respect. And I will tell you I’m not a scientist and I’m not a statistician, but...
More Trump shtick, recycling old material, but he still loves trucks. The president is ranting about shower heads, dishwashers, and light bulbs. Now Fox News is fact-checking IMPOTUS*. x Cool. Now do one for the weight of 135,000 dead Americans. And 30 million unemployed workers. https://t.co/kKPThOG7zaâ” The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) July...
Trump wants Confederate spectacles, why else try to attack NASCAR because of its flag ban. The ultimate Confederate spectacle is the resilience of the lost cause narrative perhaps reinforced by the Jim Crow erection of monuments. It was amusing that the press tried to goad the WH Press Secretary into an admission...
The unhingery continues with four months left. Trump’s doubling down on positions seems typical but has now moved to places that seem more like a scorched-earth campaign as November approaches. Trump just asked the Supreme Court to invalidate the ACA in its entirety. He is trying to take away your...
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...
All that remains from Trump is virtue signaling: ignore deaths, go back to work, you’ll be a warrior, and we’ll give you a flyover. I made this case at some length the other day. The imperative of creating the illusion of success is undermining the possibility of actual success. It...
The Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board called it a “procoronavirus” protest rally that occured yesterday in Frankfort. Joseph Gerth just called them “idiots.” I think both are correct, and it was an “idiotic procoronavirus” rally. Approximately 100 of the worst in humanity showed up to chant and try to disrupt Kentucky...
He does realize he has the authority to order companies to do this kind of thing, right? Like, through regular government channels other than Twitter or semaphore flag? x General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!!...
Remember that it’s a feature of the Trump regime that other opportunism will operate in the background such as his attempts to personally profit from vaccine production. Remember lower Fed rates (now at 0%) also help his personal debt load. He now is defaulting to nativism and xenophobia. As we begin...
Much like a Woody Allen satire of nouvelle vague cinematography, a Trumpist bystander tried to interrupt the Capitol Hill reporting of MSNBC’s Garrett Haake. Haake’s crew did an interesting job of choreography to try to keep the nutter out of the shot before she could compliment Howard Stern’s junk. x Kudos to...
America’s stupidest congressional representative decided to test his ethical responsibility. NEW: GOHMERT became the first lawmaker to publicly name a person purported by some Trump allies to be the whistleblower. Schiff warned there could be ethics consequences for something like this, though his office is declining to comment. https://t.co/nzDXoovdtc —...
If I were Dick Cheney’s spawn I’d spend the rest of my life apologizing to people — both for the war crimes and for curdling a perfectly good heart. But not Liz Cheney. She’s out to prove she’s hip to the GOP’s modern zeitgeist. Indeed, a racial slur that was unthinkable before...
The oddest disinformation so far has been a series of Ron Johnson media appearances that attempt to discredit Alexander Vindman. Johnson said Vindman might be among those bureaucrats who leak to the press "sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office." pic.twitter.com/Mn5SHXUl06 — Christal Hayes (@Journo_Christal) November 18,...
Individual-1 cannot learn that his rage tweeting might have consequences, even after a disastrous Friday of testimony where a GOP stunt failed at the House Intelligence committee hearings. You really should take Sundays off from witness tampering🐮 https://t.co/Sq2RhkugGO — Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 (@DevinCow) November 17, 2019 Washington (CNN) President...
Will playing whac-a-mole help save the Trump presidency? That's what Fox News and Donald Trump defenders have been reduced to in recent weeks as the White House and its media allies scramble to try to find a coherent defense for his admitted campaign collusion with a foreign power. (This time,...
Don and Rudy were fully engaged in the shakedown, and the Amigos were instrumental. CNN reports that Pompeo agreed in Congressional testimony about the now CIA-affirmed role of Russia in 2016 interference but seemed to now agree with a new CT trying to shift the 2016 blame to Ukraine. Rudy also...
Holy Cow Patties, we didn’t even hear a peep from Devin during the storming of the SCIF, but he’s been a busy cowpoke. NEW: A top aide to Rep. Devin Nunes has been providing conservative politicians and journalists with information—and misinformation—about the anonymous whistleblower who triggered the biggest crisis of...
I confess. This president* giving Kamala Harris lessons in How To Be A Black Person was not on my bingo card today. — Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) October 26, 2019 Only Trump could give a speech at an HBCU where less than 10 students were allowed to attend, because it was...
x #WATCH: Trump: “We're trying to find out” who the Whistleblower is. Outing their identity would be a felony, punishable by up to 3 yrs in prison. As a matter of fact, his suggestion alone and threatening tweets are witness intimidation. Also impeachable.pic.twitter.com/IRZ4RF6mbz — Cyrus Toulabi (@CyrusToulabi) September 30, 2019...
Trump is at the Minneapolis Target Center tonight for yet another campaign rally. Below is the Daniel Dale tweet thread in anticipation of another even more stupid Trump statement. It is unbearable to put up with such repetition of falsehoods, but there’s always that hope of some ad-libbed idiocy “><p...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/… The Washington Post is reporting that Donald Trump has repeated and personally tried to have the US Corps of Engineers award contracts to build his southern border wall to a major Republican donor.
