  • 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.

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.
