Army General John Campbell looked stricken Thanksgiving Eve as he detailed how U.S. troops blasted away at an Afghan hospital last month, killing 30. His grim visage made clear that he’d rather have been any place in the world other than that podium in Kabul. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the first American commander to face second-guessing spotlights, highlighting in hindsight what now seems so obvious: how could such a snafu have happened? The Oct.

  • LOL Polls Show Americans Hate The Republican House
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 06:45 PM

    We got numbers to back it up: Americans hate the GOP-lead House: The Monmouth University Poll also asked about the public’s impressions of legislative productivity in the House of Representatives. Taking into account that they may not agree with everything each party stands for, 53% of Americans say Democrats have been generally successful at being able to get bills passed when they control the House, while 39% say they have been unsuccessful. There’s Vulgarmort’s basement/ceiling again.

  • Trump Demands An End To Early Voting
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 05:16 PM

    During an interview with Newsmax's Greg Kelly, Trump demanded we terminate early voting and move to all paper ballots while continuing to push the notion that both mean the Democrats are "cheating." Trump has been a huge flaming hypocrite on this issue for ages, claiming that mail-in voting is corrupt, except of course, if he does it. It continues to astound me that Trump, like his enablers over on the Fox propaganda network, continue to give the voting machine companies more ammo for lawsuits. Here's Trump with Kelly this Thursday, complaining that Biden misread something off of a teleprompter during a speech while pretending that everything in the United States and abroad would be going perfectly now if we were unfortunate enough to still have him occupying the Oval Office, and continuing to spread the Big Lie about early voting so he can pretend he was cheated when Biden hopefully kicks his ass in November. TRUMP: You know, six months is very, a little more than six months now, which is sounds good, but that's a long time in the life of this country with this leadership because they don't know what they're doing.

  • 'Fake Elector' Lawyer May Be Charged With Contempt For Witness Intimidation
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:56 PM

    A Michigan judge warned that disparaging online comments about witnesses could lead to contempt charges, highlighting concerns about witness intimidation in a high-profile case involving so-called "fake electors." District Court Judge Kristin Simmons addressed the issue on Tuesday during a hearing. She pointed out that making negative comments about witnesses on social media platforms like Facebook could be seen as an attempt to intimidate. The case centers around 16 individuals, including former Michigan Republican Party co-chair Meshawn Maddock.

  • Ukrainians Taunt Frontline Russians By Blasting Star Spangled Banner
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:56 PM

    A Ukrainian soldier played the national anthem of the United States for the Russian soldiers somewhere on the frontline in eastern Ukraine. Unsurprisingly, the Russians did not care to be serenaded in this fashion and responded with their AK-47s and fired an RPG in the general direction of the offensive tune.

  • Things Get Weird When Charlie Kirk's Guest Gets A Little Fascist-y
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 02:53 PM

    Republicans sure have changed, huh? As if Talking Point USA's Charlie Kirk wasn't bad enough, he somehow decided to bring Curtis Yarvin, an anti-democratic blogger, on as his guest. What could go wrong? Well, I'm glad you asked that. OK, you didn't really ask that. I did. Yarvin wants to give Trump unchecked power in November. Trump's lawyer is currently arguing in the Supreme Court for presidential immunity, which is not even in the Constitution.
