Trump Sides With Iran Over Minnesota On Cyber Attacks

Trump: This Fund Isn't For Me, It's For The People Obama And Biden 'Destroyed'

Donald J. Trump is once again pushing the assertion that he and his allies were unfairly targeted by the Justice Department under Presidents Obama and Biden -- and this time, he's arguing that no group of people, "most likely," has ever been treated worse. Sure thing, buddy. Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6th to stop the peaceful transition of power at his direction. We've seen it on video. But he knows the gullibility of his base. His supporters spread feces on the walls of the Capitol, but Trump will blame Biden and/or Obama for that, too.

Jordan made an appearance on this Thursday's The Arena with Kasie Hunt. Initially, he called the abuse allegations against his fellow Ohio Congressman "a family matter" until Hunt laid them all out in gory detail in response. After Jordan tried to feign ignorance on what the accusations were, Hunt reminded him that they'd been widely reported for some time now, and then played a clip of Jordan criticizing Democrats for just wanting to hang onto power with Graham Platner before asking Jordan how this was any different.

'They Don't Speak English' DJT Trashes Immigrant Truck Drivers

Trump continues to destroy the US economy with his racist, anti-immigrant fury by targeting truck drivers in his latest campaign of xenophobia: The "Freedom Haulers" Initiative. The AP reports, " A new campaign launched Friday will promote programs that let veterans who recently drove large military vehicles skip the required skills test for a commercial driver's license. Other soldiers can attend a commercial driving school during their last six months of active duty. The GI Bill will also pay for 100% of commercial driver's license training and for some people even pay a housing allowance while they are in school."
