I'm old enough to remember when a Republican President cut off American arms being sent to Israel. Rep. Steven Scalise now thinks that's worthy of impeachment when a Democrat is in the White House. The Louisiana Republican sounded so ridiculous that Fox host Stuart Varney looked puzzled. "On what grounds would you impeach President Biden?" Varney asked. "Well, if you look at where we are, Stuart, I mean, President Biden is failing on so many different fronts," Scalise falsely said. "But if you look at Israel, you've showed those quotes and tweets, what he said when he was a candidate." "And h ..read more

The 3rd week of the Donald Trump's first criminal trial (of four) ended with a roller coaster of news. First up, we got confirmation from multiple sources, including the witness themself, that the next bombshell witness is the man in the center of this entire case: Michael Cohen, Trump's former "fixer" and current nemesis. it is expected that he will be on the stand for days, as he is questioned by the prosecution on the hush money/election interference plot, how much Trump knew and directed and what Cohen did to further this plot. The defense will obviously drag him through the mud, painting ..read more

Former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is endorsing Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz’s primary challenger, former naval pilot Aaron Dimmock.  “Gaetz is the Hunter Biden of the Republican Party,” McCarthy said in an interview with Politico.  “He’s got an opponent who is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, trained at Pensacola, went to the Naval Academy, and flew jets to defend us while Gaetz was getting kicked out of high school, buying coke, and paying minors for sex.” McCarthy is alluding to the ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz, after reports alleged he was in ..read more

by Jerod MacDonald-Evoy, Arizona Mirror May 6, 2024 A Glendale Republican lawmaker is no longer allowed to access legislative broadcast equipment after the Arizona Mirror reported on May 3 that he used the Senate’s broadcast studio to appear on a far-right talk show last week with a host who has declared Adolf Hitler a “hero.” On May 1, Sen.

Kern joined the show live on video from the Arizona Senate studio. The April 30 ..read more

You may have heard of this already, where Trump casually promised a quid pro quo to the oil industry that would let them rape and pillage the environment at will. Even for Trump, this was stunning.

Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are ..read more

Via Rolling Stone: He added, “I’ve had experience with this. Back in the 90s, I was the lead opponent to Hillarycare,” referring to then-First Lady Hillary Clinton’s health care plan. “After it was defeated, she used the Justice Department to go after me and my company,” he claimed. “This can’t continue. What’s happening to this president is wrong.” Scott made similarl ..read more

Amazing, how right wing donors created this almost overnight to take down Obamacare and climate change progress via their precious little Tea Party, and it's disappearing the same way! Ha ha, remember how we were called "rude" for calling them teabaggers? Via Politico: FreedomWorks, the once-swaggering conservative organization that helped turn tea party protesters into a national political force, is shutting down, according to its president, a casualty of the ideological split in a Republican Party dominated by former President Donald Trump. “We’re dissolved,” said the group’s president, Ad ..read more

If anyone knows a thing or two about the threat of authoritarianism from Donald Trump, it’s Hillary Clinton. Gleeful chants of “lock her up” were almost as prevalent in the 2016 presidential campaign as the “make American great again” slogan. This campaign year, there seems to be an endless list of people Trump wants to lock up, deport and execute. So, when MSNBC's Joe Scarborough told her about his concern the U.S. may be sleepwalking into something as awful as Nazi Germany, Clinton seemed equally worried. “People can't stop covering the circus, every utterance, every insult, every outrageou ..read more
