Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who’s under federal criminal investigation and was just impeached by his fellow Republicans, is now depicting himself as Santa Anna: . . There’s no more surefire sign that a corrupt and cornered politician is done for than when he resorts to this kind of cosplay. It’s how we know Ken…
When Texas House Republicans overwhelmingly voted to impeach Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton this weekend, they made clear that they don’t care that he’s a close ally of Donald Trump. That’s because, even as Republican politicians still verbally kiss Trump’s backside, they’re clearly starting to move on from him. Trump seems to understand this too….
Donald Trump is going to prison and he knows it. In the meantime he seems intent on alienating as many people as possible. For Memorial Day, Trump posted this completely psychotic rant which we’ll present in its full context because we’re not even sure how to parse it: “HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY…
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has spent years getting away with too much corruption to list. He was even involved in Donald Trump’s plot to overthrow the election in 2020, and he’s somehow remained a free man. But now Texas Republicans appear to have finally decided that Paxton is too much of a liability for…
Ron DeSantis has spent the past couple months running his 2024 prospects through a shredder, so it’s fitting that his official launch is also a disaster. He posted a three minute long campaign launch video today, which he sounded bored while narrating. The whole thing was such an amateur hour mess that rock band Eve…
Already in freefall, Ron DeSantis formally launched his 2024 presidential campaign today. President Joe Biden was quick to jump on the fact that DeSantis is both a deranged extremist and a creepy weirdo punchline: . .
When House Republican George Santos was criminally indicted on thirteen felony counts and arrested, someone paid his bail, allowing him to remain out of prison (with significant travel restrictions) while awaiting trial. Santos himself appears to be broke – as is often the case with grifters, who tend to live from stolen paycheck to stolen…
When Donald Trump had his attorneys send a letting asking for an emergency meeting with Merrick Garland last night, it was clear that Trump now expects Jack Smith to indict him at any moment. Suffice it to say that Trump isn’t taking the news well. At one point today on his social media network, he…
Is Ron DeSantis’ 2024 campaign over before it began? He already managed to cut his poll numbers in half before entering the race, just by being out in public and letting everyone around the nation see that he’s a creepy weirdo and a joke. But DeSantis’ formal 2024 campaign launch today took the cake. It…
Now that Ron DeSantis’ informal 2024 rollout has cut his poll numbers in half, he’s making an even bigger mistake by formally launching his 2024 campaign. He tried to hold that launch on Twitter today with Elon Musk for some reason. Fittingly, technical issues turned the whole thing into a punchline, and by the time…
Last night Donald Trump figured out that he’s about to get incited under the Espionage Act by Jack Smith. Suffice it to say that he’s not taking the news particularly well. After Ron DeSantis formally kicked off his lifeless 2024 campaign today, Trump posted this incoherent meltdown to social media: ““Rob,” My Red Button is…
Because House Republicans currently hold a narrow majority, they get to decide who to put in charge of the podium and gavel. Today Marjorie Taylor Greene ended up in charge. It didn’t go well. She demanded “order” but House Democrats just laughed at her: . .
