Crooks and Liars

What pathetic framing from Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. If anyone should worry about "normalizing" Trump's behavior, it's Welker and her fellow members of the Beltway media who refuse to call out Trump for being a dangerous, unstable wannabe dictator…

42 million people in America are on the threshold of losing their food benefits, millions more are seeing their health care premiums skyrocket, the government shutdown has taken paychecks and services away from even more - but Donald Trump is using his time in…

To The Precious President, being anti-Trump is "illegal." And he's been on a roll since the beginning of his second term, clamping down on late-night comedians, because, how dare you mock him? This is so sad for MAGA. Behold, their alpha-male leader.…

We all know they don't have a "plan" other than to allow the insurance companies to go back to denying coverage, or selling worthless junk plans that didn't pay for anything like they did before the ACA was enacted.…

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries tore into Republicans over the government shutdown on Jake Tapper's State of the Union Sunday show. Republicans keep calling for Democrats to reopen the government, but they've shown no openness to negotiate, and Mike…

Trump is threatening to go into Nigeria "guns-a-blazing," so naturally the flacks on Fox are completely enamored with their "daddy."…

The station that endlessly covers all of Trump's insane rallies across the country from end to end cut away after just a minute of President Obama campaigning in Virginia for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger. The Fox Report host Jon Scott…

Above, Etta James performs, A Sunday Kind of Love. And we conclude our week, from the shut-down to the cruel intentions of the 4th Reich to hurt the weakest amongst us. Thanks to 28 or so bloggers we've made sense of it all and had a few laughs along the way.…

CNN's Jake Tapper asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to respond to former President Barack Obama's remarks, which came a day before Trump hosted a fancy-pants Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, just a few hours before funding for federal food…

Former President Barack Obama was in Virginia, stumping for Abigail Spanberger when he started ripping on Dementia Donny like no one else can:…

He's in for a rude awakening if he really believes he's not going to harm millions of his own voters. Here's Trump on Air Force One on his way to his lavish Great Gatsby-themed Halloween gala at Mar-a-Lago, pretending it's just Democrats who are on food…

More race-baiting and lies about just who is receiving Medicaid and SNAP benefits from the propagandists on Fox not "news." Over the last month, I've watched these people fat-shaming people receiving food stamps, rehash all the Reagan-era talking points about…

A Trump loving MAGA mom is very upset that people are not more sympathetic about her losing food stamps. She posted the following on Facebook (please hold your clapping until the very last sentence):…

Happy November! As I write, the Dodgers and Blue Jays are battling it out in the 10th inning of the 7th game of the World Series. At this point, I'm willing to celebrate whoever wins because the battle has been fierce and they've both been amazing.…

My friend bass player extraordinaire Steve Bailey sent me this video from a concert they recently played and it's electrifying.…

Nancy Mace seems to have issues. I don't mean issues of magazines. Something else is going on and it is weird and escalating and alarming. Does she have histrionic personality disorder? I do not know. I am not a mental health specialist. But here are the…

Last month, Ellen wrote about plunging ticket sales for the Kennedy Center after Trump took it over, but it's gotten worse. The Washington Post took a good look at the numbers, saying this year, more than 40% of all seats remained available/unsold on the day…

Sounds like Epstein's original sweetheart deal was a much bigger deal than we knew, with subpoenas going out to his banks and attorneys tracking all of his financial transactions. What was big enough to persuade prosecutors to back off from the investigation?…

After a briefing with the Arms Services Committee on Thursday about the Venezuelan boat strikes Trump has authorized, Rep. Seth Moulton told MSNBC that it was so bad they made "the case for the the Iraq War look like a slam dunk."…

Rep. Thomas Massie is kind of the rat terrier of Republicans, and by that I mean once he grabs hold of an issue, he just won't let go. In this case, not a bad thing!…

VP JD Vance spoke out of both sides of his neck when he claimed Trump wants to start testing nuclear weapons to make sure they work, but don't worry, they do work.…

In his attempt to defend Trump and Congressional Republicans for letting ACA subsides expire on November 1, JD Vance made up a whopper of a lie by blaming President Biden.…

Newsmax host Rob Schmidt called SNAP an "ugly program" and used the tired trope that SNAP recipients are racist and deadbeats, to defend the Trump administration from refusing to fund it by cutting off SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.…

Two federal courts on Friday slapped down the Trump administration’s BS claim that it could not release SNAP benefits during the government shutdown. The New York Times called it “a major rebuke of the White House.”…

There is a lot of material for Democrats to use for ads, and Vice President JD Vance just offered quite the clip, which should be hung around the neck of every Republican like an albatross. Aside from everything Vance said in this clip being a lie, one part…
