    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 04:22 PM

    Texas Rep. Drunky McDrunkerson is confused again. Former President Donald Trump, not Biden, is on trial right now for interfering in the election. And it's Trump, not Biden, who blatantly weaponized the governmental agencies while he was in office. Rep. Ronny Jackson is the least self-aware person in Trump's orbit, and that's saying a lot. "I came because I'm a long time supporter of President Trump," Drunky said.

  • He's Rich And He Loves Me: Why Trump Might Pick Doug Burgum
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 04:02 PM

    On the list of most populous states, North Dakota comes in at 47. Even its neighbor to the south, governed by puppy-slaying Kristi Noem, has a greater population of people—and voters. But despite North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum’s obscurity and the fact that he held no political office before becoming governor of this lightly populated state in 2016, he is reportedly at the top of Trump's list of vice presidential hopefuls. Burgum has been touching all the bases on the Wanna-Be-VP Tour, including making an appearance at Trump's New York trial for falsifying documents connected to the 2016 election.

    Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, "based on her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen 'dozens' of other events in the same space." This really needs a 'Sure, Jan" gif.

Here's Vance doubling down on his praise for Orban during an interview on this Sunday's Face the Nation: MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about some of the things you've said about American universities.

  • Delusional Trump: 'I Did More For Black Americans Than Lincoln'
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 01:05 PM

    Trump's NRA speech on Saturday was marred by insane rantings and unexplained long pauses when the orange disgrace claims he's been better for Black Americans than Abraham Lincoln tops the list. This isn't the first time he's tried to compare himself to Lincoln, and even the great MLK, but it's just as sickening as it ever was. What type of man would do such a thing?
