The New York Times published a fawning front-page profile of the Koch brothers last Friday. The article never mentions their efforts to secure unfettered fossil fuel consumption, which would destroy humanity’s livable climate. It was quickly criticized by leading experts as “poor journalism” and “gullible.” The Times wants you to believe that the Kochs are “very private” but “brave,” that they are “sensitive to criticism,” and that “Charles [Koch] obviously is a classical liberal, who believes in the Bill of Rights.” What’s next for the Times — rehabbing the misunderstand Bernie Madoff?

  • 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.

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 06:32 AM

    Donald Trump’s ongoing New York criminal trial hinges on payments of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels. It’s not the hush money, per se, that is illegal, it’s the fact that Trump allegedly falsified business records to cover up the payment and avoid damage to his presidential campaign. Nevertheless, compulsive liar Trump denies he ever had an affair with Daniels. Sen.

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

    If you look closely, you'll notice that Zhanna Polupanova is wearing a sweatshirt with the English words "Follow Your Dreams." Apparently, hers includes a new roof for her modest house in the country, which with any luck will be repaired with what the Russians call "coffin money." 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.
