    As we know, the deep-fried Cheeto isn't allowed to attack certain people under his gag order, but it looks like he's instead been writing the script for his muppets. One of the journalists covering the trial says Trump was “editing” and “making notations” to the speeches his allies made outside of the courtroom Tuesday.

  • Sam Alito Flew Reversed 'Stop The Steal' Flag After Biden Won
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 05/17/2024 - 05:56 AM

    There's a contractor at the end of my street who raised various Trump flags during the Cheeto's reign of incompetence. When Biden was elected, he raised one of the classics: "Fuck Biden And Anyone Who Voted For Him." Since the flag flyer is known to be a tad paranoid, no one said anything -- but most neighbors went out of their way not to patronize his business. But some of the whack jobs across America flew the American flag upside down, the universal distress signal adopted as a "Stop The Steal" symbol.

    If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had any shame or scruples, he would have resigned already as a result of the corruption reported on by ProPublica. That’s not counting his refusal to recuse himself from cases that his coup-plotting wife has stuck her nose into. Nor the dark money she has received to promote causes he rules on. At the very least, Thomas now has some ‘splaining to do about that ultra-luxury RV he purchased with the help of one of his rich pals.

  • TRUMP CRASHES! Anyone Try Turning His Brain Off & Back On?
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 05/17/2024 - 05:42 AM

    Donald Trump brain went into system overload yet again while on stage a few days ago; he slurred, made up nonsensical words and sounded like his cerebral cortex was shutting down. The man AIN'T WELL. Trump shouldn't be speaking in public, much less running to be leader of the free world (though, should he win, it'd be leader of the kinda, sometimes free world at best, totalitarian America at worst).
