(Credit: Getty/Alexander Klein/Kubrak78) How long has it been since you’ve seen some burled walnut? Not familiar with the stuff, you say? I guess it’s been quite a while then, hasn’t it. I don’t blame you. Used to be, you’d run across it fairly frequently — burled walnut on the dashboard on a Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special in the 50’s or 60’s, or maybe the Fleetwood Brougham in the 70’s or 80’s.

  • Trump Humiliates Bill Barr After His Former AG Endorses Him
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 01:35 PM

    Former President Donald Trump lashed out at his former attorney general for endorsing him in the November presidential election. And I'm not sure what Bill Barr expected, but this is the status quo with the twice-impeached, four-times indicted, petty, petulant, wannabe potentate. Bill Barr, who was one of Trump's most prominent critics, said that despite his differences with his former boss, he will support "the Republican ticket" in November.

    Courtesy of TP USA, Killer Kyle Rittenhouse has been doing a tour of campuses to talk about something, but no one was sure quite what it was he wanted to speak about because he kept getting run off of campus, time and time again.

    Trump attorney Alina Habba told Newsmax Trump devotee host Greg Kelly that the signs don't look too good for Trump's acquittal. Kelly fawned, "How are you? What do you think about everything?" "Exactly how i felt that day," she said. "I think until it's over and behind us, um, but I don't have hopes really that high at this moment that the New York courts will do the right thing."

    While the completely unqualified Lara Trump (Eric’s wife) takes over the RNC and turns it into a cult of loyalists, the just as unqualified sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are trying to do the same with the Trump transition.
