Donald Trump; Jeff Sessions; Steve Bannon (Credit: AP/Alex Brandon/Andrew Harnik/Carolyn Kaster) Why is it that the president and the vast majority of Republican elected officials are refusing to refer to the white Christian neo-nazis who committed mayhem and murder and, yes, terrorism, as exactly what they are? Why the false equivalence suggesting that antifascists and peace protesters are the same as Nazis and Klan members? As Holly Yan of CNN summarizes on their website, ISIS has a long history of using vehicles as weapons for terror attacks.

  • The Nodfather: Low Stamina Sleepy Donald Caught Snoozing In Court
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 04/15/2024 - 08:45 PM

    I remember Donald Trump saying that Hillary Clinton, who traveled 956,733 miles as Secretary of State, didn't "have the stamina" to be President. I also recall Trump calling the President "Sleepy Joe" and "corrupt." As it happens, Trump is facing 91 felony charges. He fell asleep in court, and "his eyes looked red and bloodshot when he opened them and peered at the judge." Sad!

Defendant Trump reportedly glared at Haberman before leaving court. The internet lit up.
