Lawrence O’Donnell talks to three highly qualified, serious-minded people (a former US Solicitor General, former FBI General Counsel, and a current national security attorney) about the search for documents at Mar-a-Lago. Around 2:14 he asks them to respond to Trump’s defense. Watch their faces. They seem to be keeping themselves from laughing out loud, but […]
Donald Trump invoked the 5th Amendment and refused to answer any questions from the NY attorney general, who is investigating whether Trump is guilty of fraud in the valuation of his properties, using different values depending on whether he was paying taxes or trying to get loans from banks. But during his 2016 campaign for […]
This is what overreach looks like. For years, Republicans courted Evangelicals by giving lip service to right-to-life zealots, homophobes, racists, and other right-wing social issue voters. But even when Republicans had the trifecta, they knew better than to do things like overturn Roe v. Wade. They did try to block gay marriage, but they gave […]
Texas is definitely hypocritical! From NBC News: Pregnant Texas Woman Cited for HOV Violation Told Cop Her Fetus Is the PassengerA pregnant Texas woman who got a ticket for driving alone in the car-pool lane plans to fight the citation, arguing her unborn baby should count as a second person. The woman, Brandy Bottone, was […]
On Sunday, two days before her primary election, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) campaigned during a religious service in Colorado. She said: The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it. I’m tired of this separation of church and […]
George W. Bush just admitted that he is a war criminal. Note how after Dubya corrects himself, he doubles down and says “Iraq, too” and laughs. Will anyone be held accountable for our war in Iraq? We will never know how many deaths were due to that war, but estimates go as high as a […]
Today, Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) responded to the leaked document from the Supreme Court, saying that if accurate, it was “inconsistent” with promises that were made to her by Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch that were made in order to get her confirmation vote. At the time, Collins told CNN that she was assured […]
It seems like Donald Trump’s main purpose in life now is to repeatedly claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him (in particular by evil Democrats). But here’s more evidence of the hypocrisy of that. It turns out that one of Trump’s former aides, Matt Mowers, voted twice during the Republican primaries in 2016 […]
Apparently, I’m not the only person who noticed that the Republican story is, um, evolving rapidly. And Critical Race Theory to combat in our schools, even though it isn’t actually taught in any schools. But it seems that the sheeple are more than happy to become enraged at anything, even if it is totally made […]
First, two quotes from former ambassador Nikki Haley. I can visualize her talking out of both sides of her mouth simultaneously. Putin knows it’s costly, and he knows he can’t do it. This is him leveraging to see what he can get. He doesn’t want to expand… I don’t think Russia wants to go to […]
Vladimir Putin is being blasted by almost all of the countries of the world, including people in Russia. But here in the US there are a few (seemingly insane) people who are cheering Putin on in his invasion of Ukraine. And ironically, Joe Biden’s popularity ratings have jumped up 8% since his State-of-the-Union address, where […]
Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up. Here is the first section of a model bill produced by the American Legislative Exchange Council. 1) fossil fuels currently supply more than 80% of the world’s primary energy, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration still projects global consumption of fossil fuels to increase steadily at least […]
A few days after the presidential election when Joe Biden was declared the winner, the Lt. Gov. of Texas, Republican Dan Patrick, offered a bounty of up to $1 million to anyone who could supply proof of voter fraud, and a minimum of $25,000 to anyone who provided information that led to a conviction. This […]
Stephen Colbert cheers on Biden’s speech, getting tough on requiring people to get vaccinated. Electoral-Vote also has a good story about the hypocrisy of people who think the President doesn’t have the legal power to require people to get vaccinated.
First, Tucker Carlson claims that the Biden administration is spying on him, in an effort to get him off the air on Fox News. Seriously? You need to spy on Carlson, when he never stops spewing lies and bullshit every day? Second, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy pulls out his chickenshit plausible deniability to spout […]
