  • Marge Greene Is In A Panic Over Republicans Losing Control
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 08:03 AM

    Madge Greene is now screeching that Democrats want Donald Trump to be “murdered in jail.” This was during an interview with whacko Alex Jones, natch. Via the Independent: The right-wing lawmaker made the remarks during an interview with Infowars host Alex Jones, in which she suggested that the four criminal cases Mr Trump is facing - including an ongoing trial where he has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts relating to alleged hush money payments - are an intentional effort by his political rivals to imprison the former president until he dies. She added that Democrats are also attempting to strip Mr Trump of his presidential Secret Service detail to accomplish their goal.

  • Russian Mother Sends Her Youngest Son Off To War For New Roof
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 06:30 AM

Zhanna also rather cold-bloodedly says she does not feel sympathy for her sons going to war in Ukraine as they are meant to serve the Motherland.
