  • CNN Laughs Off Trump Sleeping In Court Again
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 05:52 PM

    Apparently, these stories about Lumpy constantly falling asleep in court are getting to him, as he made clear today on Truth Social. And CNN, formerly known as "the most trusted name in news," helpfully went along with this ruse. Source: Raw Story Former President Donald Trump is struggling to hold it together in court, said his former strategist David Urban on CNN Thursday — and one of the reasons could be desperation for a Diet Coke. Since the Manhattan hush money trial began, the former president has been caught on multiple occasions falling asleep in the middle of the trial, and coverage of this has enraged him.

In a lame effort to counter this, Eric Hovde made what just might be the most cringeworthy video of this campaign season by going out in an icy lake, because he apparently thinks that is what Wisconsinites do, and then challenging Baldwin to join him in the water: Considering the fact that the only time you will find a Wisconsinite in a frozen lake is during a New Years Day Polar Bear Plunge or if their ice fishing shanty fell through the ice, he didn't convince a lot of people.
