Jimmy Kimmel had a, um, blast last night with the stories about Smelly Trump. Via HuffPost: Kimmel showed how the reports caused “ODOR IN THE COURT” and #TrumpStinks to trend on X.

Never mind that Trump was the one responsible for holding up the aid for months in the first place. Now lickspittle Lindsey Graham wants to give him credit for it finally passing. Sadly it looks like the evangelicals were the ones that pushed Johnson to finally put the bill up for a vote, not Trump. Here's Graham responding to his fellow Senator JD Vance's criticism of the bill on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: GRAHAM: So this idea, give up on Ukraine, makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine because you don't have enough capability, there goes Taiwan.
