Just outside criminal court on Thursday, Trump addressed reporters to complain about how cold it is inside and how corrupt Joe Biden is even though the former President is facing a long list of crimes. He rifled through a stack of article clips that praised him. At one point on Friday, Sleepy Joe Trump fell asleep in court again. Give him a blanky and his binky so the tough guy feels warm and secure, k? According to The Washington Post, Natalie Harp, one of Trump's employees and a former host of One America News, "often accompanies Trump on his daily golf outings, riding the course in a golf ..read more

Thanks to a bombshell footnote in a document from Donald Trump’s New York fraud case, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has just filed a criminal complaint to the FBI and the Department of Justice about a fake $50 million loan Trump has repeatedly “disclosed.” The fraud-case footnote reported that the loan did not exist. C&L reported in January that the fake loan looked a lot like tax evasion. Now Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is asking the FBI and DOJ to look into it. “Donald Trump should be investigated for knowingly an ..read more

On Thursday Trump whined like a spoiled child to the media because he was a little cold in the courthouse where he had to sit for his criminal trial... and that's so unfair. "And it's a shame, it's a shame," Trump complained. "And I'm sitting here for days now, from morning till night, in that freezing room, freezing. Everybody was freezing in there." "And all for this, and this is your result," he continued. "Look at that, each one of them a story. And it's very unfair, very bad thing, very bad thing. The whole world is watching this hoax." Committing election interference by paying off a po ..read more

House conservatives have organized a team to monitor potential ways to undermine their power in light of House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson not bowing to the Chaos Crew's demand not to provide aid to Ukraine. So, the House Freedom Caucus has decided to take shifts to guard the House floor to prevent resolutions they'd consider stripping them from any power. The group smelling out any fellow Republicans (hi Mike!) who attempt this is called the Floor Action Response Team (FART). Specifically, the group doesn't want to change the rule of needing only one member to call for a Motion to Vacate. The ..read more

The Republican Party’s attempted impeachment fiasco and beleaguered House Speaker Mike Johnson were the subjects of late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue Wednesday night. Colbert observed that while the House Republicans targeting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “never identified a specific high crime or misdemeanor for the impeachment, which is usually kind of a thing,” the event was still historic. It's only the second time in America that a Cabinet member has been impeached. The first was Secretary of War William Belknap back in 1876, which Congress ..read more

MAGA Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told CNN today that she respectfully disagreed with the actual facts behind why Ukraine is not part of NATO after she claimed they did not want to join the alliance. CNN host John Berman interviewed the extreme right-wing Congresswoman about Speaker Johnson's tenure leading the House Republicans and the funding of Ukraine when she spewed this outrageous lie. LUNA: And what I will tell you is currently right now with Ukraine, while we are sending money over there, there's no accountability, but I think even furthermore, remember, Ukraine chose to not join NATO. (T ..read more

There was a bipartisan border deal that Donald Trump instructed Republicans to reject. Still, they tell Democrats that the border is neglected, and they're using that to hold up direly needed aid to Ukraine. It seems obvious that if the border is addressed, it would leave the former President without a central campaign platform: hating immigrants, building the wall, etc. Republicans have become the Party of Putin. This is no longer your Mom or Dad's GOP that we're witnessing. Connecticut Democrat Rosa DeLauro gave Republicans hell for holding up aid to Ukraine. During a rules committee hearin ..read more

Omarosa Manigault Newman yesterday recalled the measures that fellow aides used to take to prevent Trump from falling asleep in meetings and ceremonies. So it turns out his constant accusations of Sleepy Joe really are projection! Via HuffPost: The onetime “Apprentice” contestant-turned-Trump critic explained that because her former boss ― who reportedly preferred intelligence briefings full of pictures ― “cannot focus, nor can he sit still for long,” they would build events “specifically to address his attention deficit.” “We would break up the events so that he be stimulated and not fall a ..read more

Democrats helped Republican leaders advance legislation to provide billions in stalled security funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, steering the measures closer toward passage this weekend. Via CBS News: After about nine hours of recess, the House Rules Committee reconvened late Thursday night and moved GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid bills on a 9-3 vote, thanks to the votes of all four Democrats who sit on the committee: Ranking Member Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse and New Mexico Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández. The ..read more

Despite warnings from Judge Juan Merchan that the media should not be revealing too many details which could identify the jurors in the Trump trial in Manhattan, Fox's Jesse Watters spent another evening railing about them in the obvious hope that they'll either be identified or intimidated. I watched at least one pundit on MSNBC say the judge could have shut this sort of thing down ahead of time by not making their information available to the media at all. I'm not sure why he didn't anticipate thugs like Jesse Watters pulling the crap he has where we've already seen one juror back out after ..read more
