Rand Paul as well. Unlike a lot of the mealymouthed Republicans who were afraid to say anything about Trump's out in the open bribe this week, Paul refused to play along with Fox's Jesse Watters this Monday when he was asked about the scandal. WATTERS: Let me ask you about this now, Senator. This, this story is breaking right now. Qatar just made Trump an offer he can't refuse. A $400 million Air Force One replacement because Boeing didn't deliver their jet on time. May 13, 2025 at 10:59 AM EDT Donald Trump told the press the reason he's expediting White South Afrikaners as refugees into the U.S. is because there is "white genocide" going on against them, which is a white supremacist lie perpetuated by American neo-Nazis. "Why are you creating an expediting path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?" a reporter asked. May 12, 2025 at 11:00 PM EDT Above: George Carlin on The Tonight Show in 1972, explaining being busted in Milwaukee for "The Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say On Television." A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report notes: "Carlin was hauled in and booked on July 21, 1972, but the case of the seven dirty words was adjourned several times until Dec. 14, 1972, when it came up for trial in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Judge Raymond E. Gieringer from Adams County presided. Carlin faced a state charge of disorderly conduct, issued by the city after the district attorney's office refused to issue a state criminal charge. May 12, 2025 at 6:31 PM EDT Trump told the press that he has a commitment that eleven car factories are in the process of being built in the U.S after he was asked if he will loosen up his idiotic tariffs against car manufacturers. Trump lied as usual. May 12, 2025 at 5:24 PM EDT The racist, homophobic, misogynistic and anti-trans Trump administration hates the words "equity" or "equality" because they assume it means it negatively impacts White, straight, conservative men, the most discriminated against group ever (sarcasm font). So what is their latest panic - the Digital Equity Act. And when they saw the word "equity" they panicked and cut funding to the program. But, this program actually would cut off millions in funding to deep red Trump country. Oops. May 12, 2025 at 5:24 PM EDT New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham warned Face The Nation viewers that if Republicans cut Medicaid benefits from the states to help millionaires the results will be catastrophic. Gov. Grisham explained the aftershocks to the House budget blueprints not only in the immediate near term, but also how it will have decades long implications to the health and well being of the public. May 12, 2025 at 5:04 PM EDT Elon Musk's regulatory problems, at least on paper, are numerous and significant. But for some strange reason, the federal investigations that targeted him seem to be fading away like Homer Simpson backing into a bush. Via NBC News: Since the start of the second Trump administration, federal agencies that had scrutinized Musk and his business empire in recent years have begun to look a lot different. At the Department of Agriculture, for example, President Donald Trump fired the person who had been investigating the Musk company Neuralink. At other agencies including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Trump and Musk have tried to slash the number of employees -- potentially hobbling those regulators' ability to enforce the law against companies including Musk's Tesla and X. May 12, 2025 at 2:22 PM EDT Fox News host Jimmy Failla compared a 12-foot-tall statue of a Black woman to a "dream" of King Kong. On his Saturday night Fox News program, Failla noted that artist Thomas J. Price had placed the statue in Times Square to change "the narrative of who we put on statues." May 12, 2025 at 1:02 PM EDT Last week was another episode of the hit comedy show, the DOGE committee hearing, starring Large Marge herself. It included a moment that was just too good for Jimmy Kimmel to pass up. Whereas Marge's Fearless Leader likes to use his Sharpie, she prefers to make an ass out of herself with pictures. On this occasion, Large Marge chose to use an edited photo of one of the witnesses to make it appear that he was flipping someone the bird. In reality, he was holding up two fingers, as Rep. Melanie Stansbury pointed out with a copy of the whole photo. May 12, 2025 at 11:22 AM EDT Last week Trump claimed that his first 100 days were incredible and listed off a litany of nonsense when he was asked about the state of economy after his tariffs have caused a massive negative impact on the country. Aaron Rupar captured this last week and I wanted to bring it to you. May 12, 2025 at 11:03 AM EDT In an unconstitutional, illegal, and blatantly stupid move, Donald J. Trump accepted a $400 million bribe from the royal family of Qatar in the form of a lavish jet to use as Air Force One until the end of his term, when the aircraft will be transferred to his presidential library. This means that Donald will keep the flying bribe after he leaves office. Trump took to Truth Social to blame Democrats for the backlash. May 12, 2025 at 10:41 AM EDT Donald Trump cannot understand why so many people, his people, are pissed off at him for his plan to accept a "flying palace" from the Qatari ruling family. Trump has expected to be amply rewarded for his time in office, enriching himself and those around him. And little perks, such as bribes from foreign governments are just part of his job description. So it must have come as quite a shock when his most ardent cheerleader (and probably much more than that) wrote some scathing tweets about his latest graft. And to be clear, Loomer wasn't criticizing the bribe itself, just where it came from. An avowed Islamophobe, Laura Loomer found that part entirely distasteful. |
