Andrew Mitchell’s Career Left In Tatters After Losing Plebgate Libel Case

Steve Bannon and Alex Jones ranted like fools when they both claimed that Merrick Garland and the FBI wanted to inflict serious bodily harm to Trump when they searched Mar-A-Lago. These two are some of the worst traitors in US history. BANNON: The deep state, you've seen this in Garland.

[Above: Eight years ago. Ugh.] WE HAVE MADE IT TO THE END! Closing arguments were completed on Tuesday (read here for the very long recap!). Jury instructions began at 10am promptly. Judge Marchan started by tell the jurors: "I will now instruct you on the law." He added "It is not my responsibility to judge the evidence here.

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld became psychosexually creepy when he attacked actor Robert De Niro for not worshiping his Dear Leader in front of the Trump Hush Money trial courthouse. Gutfeld tried hard to smear De Niro's fame and career by making ridiculous jokes that amused no one. I don't know why it's sad to see someone disagree with the plethora of Republican lawmakers who have come to New York and made specious claims and outrageous lies about the Judge, his daughter and the trial. Trump trots his fat ass out every day at the courthouse and reads off MAGA propaganda trash penned by his paid sycophants when he's not claiming the 2020 election was stolen.

Hogan Gidley, a former Trump White House official, tried to unload a wheelbarrow of BS propaganda on CNN’s Jake Tapper. The ever-smarmy Gidley suggested that federal Judge Aileen Cannon, sabotaging presiding over the Mar-a-Lago stolen classified documents case, is compensation for the supposedly biased New York Judge Juan Merchan. In the same swipe, Gidley accused Tapper of bias for not acknowledging the (fake) equivalence – and suggested the entire mainstream media is unfair to the poor, persecuted Trump. “No offense, Jake, but you talked about Aileen Cannon earlier, and you called her a Trump appointee, which is absolutely correct," Gidley began.

Of course Trump is lying in his criminal trial about whether he had sex with Stormy Daniels, and now we have even more evidence with a Daily Beast interview with another celebrity who was at the same golf tournament. Via the Daily Beast: The celebrity athlete, who spoke to The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity, citing fear of harassment or retaliation, said he was close to Trump and Daniels while they socialized at the 2006 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Though Trump sometimes referred to Daniels indirectly as a “porn star,” the athlete said, he emphasized that it was understood among the golfers who heard the boasts that Trump, at the time best known as the host of reality TV show The Apprentice, was saying he had slept with Daniels. “It was clear to me and everyone who heard him that he was talking about Stormy,” the athlete said, adding that Trump encouraged other celebs to try to have sex with Daniels, behavior the athlete described as “crass,” “gross,” and “stupid.” And because he's such a misfit with an adolescent view of sex, he went on to ramp up his bragging: “He’d say all these things like, ‘You’ve gotta bang a porn star, it’s incredible,’ and, ‘It added 20 yards to my drive today,’” the athlete told The Daily Beast. Twenty yards?

At least 20 people died after a speeding bus plunged into a ravine in a mountainous region of southwest Pakistan on Wednesday. It’s the latest morbid headline—following similar incidents earlier this month, last month, and last year in Pakistan—highlighting the frequent fatalities associated with bus travel in developing countries—a pattern that experts attribute to factors like poor infrastructure and inadequate safety protocols. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Pakistan is among the most dangerous places in the world to take a bus—but its problem of frequent, deadly bus accidents is shared among developing countries from Asia to Africa to the Americas, where buses remain crucial modes of transport, particularly for rural residents, in the absence of widely accessible rail networks. While buses are among the safest modes of travel in the U.
