Yesterday the U.S. Court of Appeals denied Donald Trump’s request to block Mike Pence from testifying against him the DOJ grand jury, meaning Special Counsel Jack Smith is now at the very end of the indictment process. Pence is likely the last witness left, and once he testifies, that’s the ballgame. Trump seems to know…
Now that a judge has threatened criminal penalties if Donald Trump keeps making in appropriate social media posts about his E. Jean Carroll trial, Trump is instead taking out his frustrations on other topics. Suffice it to say that it’s all just as unhinged. Trump is now using his social media site to share a…
When it comes to the noise surrounding Vladimir Putin, it can be difficult to tell what’s real and what’s just subterfuge. At the least, the constant media claims about his supposedly failing health – at a time when he rarely appears in public and looks and behaves strangely whenever he does – are a sign…
Donald Trump hasn’t had any good days in a long time. There’s no reason to expect he’ll ever have any good days ever again. But these past two days have been particularly brutal for him. Trump civil rape trial has begun, and his lawyers still can’t tell the judge whether he’ll show up. Trump’s mouthpiece…
Donald Trump is only polling at 55% in 2024 Republican primary polling now, and he has three criminal trials that are going to put him in prison before the election anyway. His prospects for the 2024 Republican nomination are basically a fantasy. Even if he somehow wins it, what’s he going to do, campaign from…
After right wingers came up with the idiotic phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” as a stand in for “F*ck Joe Biden,” the rest of us managed to turn that on its head by positively referring to President Biden as “Dark Brandon” any time he did something sly. Now that Biden is officially kicking off his 2024…
After Fox News abruptly fired Tucker Carlson yesterday morning, Donald Trump quickly began using social media to hype the same unhinged conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that helped get Carlson in trouble. But Trump never did address Carlson’s firing directly. Then half a day later, by which time everyone had noticed that Trump hadn’t…
Donald Trump began angrily ranting about the 2020 election the minute Fox News fired Tucker Carlson today, but he still hasn’t directly addressed the firing. But that’s not stopping Donald Trump Jr. from going there. In a typically unhinged video, Trump Junior is lamenting the downfall of Tucker Carlson, but also heavily hyping the right…
Fox News fired Tucker Carlson, its highest rated and most profitable host, today. We’re all still waiting for more details about why it happened. In the meantime, Carlson is apparently saddling up – against Fox News. Carlson has hired a “famously aggressive entertainment lawyer,” per a tweet from Brian Stelter. This suggests that Carlson intends…
In a stunning twist, Fox News has now fired its most popular and profitable host, Tucker Carlson, effective immediately. Even as we wait for details on why this is happening, Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be taking the news particularly well. Trump hasn’t directly addressed Carlson’s firing. But right after the news broke, Trump has…
We all remember when Donald Trump ran off to Walter Reed Medical Center during his time in office, right? He and his people never could cough up a straight answer about what happened. And later, out of nowhere, Trump announced that it was untrue that he’d suffered a series of mini-strokes. We may never know…
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has been unraveling for a long time. He’s been a slow motion train wreck ever since he stopped being able to rely on the late John McCain for psychological stability. Graham tried latching on to Donald Trump, but with Trump now in the dumper, Graham seems more lost than ever. Lindsey…
