I'm not sure what happened to Jon Voight, but his support for Trump apparently turned his brain into mush a long time ago. Voight posted the video above to his account on Xitter, and the responses to Ron Filipkowski who re-posted the clip were a lot more appropriate than the nutters in Voight's timeline there. Here's the transcript for anyone that doesn't want to watch it: VOIGHT: Bring back what was lost. We must bring back the safety of this great country. We much bring our greatest achievements that once were blooming. My friends, of all colors, all religions, all nations, we must remembe ..read more

The only Donald Trump criminal trial that's likely to take place this year starts today in New York. Trump is charged with falsifying business records in order to cover up an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. Amanda Marcotte thinks that testimony from Daniels will be "devastating" for Trump, largely because, as Daniels told Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes in 2018, their sexual encounter was not fully consensual and was miserable for her: Stormy Daniels: And I was like, "Ugh, here we go." (LAUGH) And I just felt like maybe — (LAUGH) it was sort of — I had it coming for making a bad decision ..read more

Senator Ron Johnson (MAGA/Q - Moscow) is in mid-election season form with his flip-flopping. For example, if you ask RoJo how he feels about absentee ballots, and if he were being unusually honest, his answer would be yes. During an interview, he warned that absentee ballots were part of a nefarious Democratic scheme to get illegal immigrants to be able to vote in American elections: But let's face it, New York - they allow illegal immigrants to vote in their local elections. The whole push towards mail-in balloting without controls, that's made to facilitate illegal immigrants to be able to ..read more

A newly released New York Times/Siena poll shows a wholesale reversal from its previous February poll that suggested President Joe Biden was bleeding support among Latino voters.  The Times/Siena poll released Saturday showed Biden gaining significant ground with minority voters, including opening up a 9-point lead over Trump with Latinos, 50% - 41%. That's a 15-point turnaround since February, when the Times/Siena survey gave Trump a 6-point advantage among Latino voters, winning 46% of the group to Biden's 40%. read more ..read more

Joe Scarborough sent a loud message to Donald Trump to quit trashing America. On Tuesday, the "Morning Joe" host went off on Trump and Trump voters because of their constant carping about our country. Scarborough said he's tired of the former president "running down" and "trashing" the United States. The MSNBC host's rant included shots at Fox News and said Trump voters want a "dictatorship." Watch the video of Scarborough's brutal monologue, but here is a preview: "Where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I'm from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised b ..read more

Poor Donald Trump. It seems he isn’t selling enough $399 high-tops or $60 Bibles, and his Truth Social stock is in the toilet, so it’s time for a new, new, new, new grift: charging his fellow Republicans for uttering his name. The Trump campaign announced in a letter Politico obtained that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”  Yes, a minimum. But Republicans who give more than the mandatory m ..read more

At present, just 5 million of the 136 million company shares are held by short-sellers, according to CNBC. But with another 21 million shares available soon, those are expected to be snapped up by a wave of short sellers.

Source: CNBC Trump Media is making a point of telling its shareholders how to prevent their stock from being loaned to short sellers — who bet the price of the shares will drop. The short-selling-prevention tips posted Wednesday on Trump Media’s website come as ..read more

It wasn't clear last night if Moscowitz was joking or not. Turns out he wasn't, and his amendment making Marjorie Taylor Greene the official representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the United States showed up this morning. Yesterday, the two of them got into frequent shouting matches in a hearing where Greene kept bringing up Nazis and Hitler while referring to Ukraine. If she's just going to keep spouting Kremlin propaganda in official proceedings Moscowitz decided she deserved a real title. Source: Raw Story Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) thinks he's found the perfect job for Re ..read more

Earlier this month, Trump did a phone interview with a radio squawk show in Green Bay at which time he repeated the Big Lie and continued to blame Meagan Wolfe, an election official, for his being a loser: Trump in a radio interview continued his attacks on Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe and said she "should be gone." He accused Republican Speaker Robin Vos and Reince Priebus, Trump's former chief of staff, of not doing enough to force her out. Wolfe did not steal the election from Trump. “I’ve heard so much about Meagan Wolfe, and it’s like unanimous, she shouldn ..read more

There’s been a disturbance in the farce, over at Nice Polite Republicans NPR editor Uri Berliner decided to crash the Pity Party that is Bari Weiss’s The Free Press over what he perceived as the bolsheviks at the gate of NPR. So NPR suspended him for 5 days for not asking for permission to contribute to another platform, and before I even started this piece, Berliner resigned: My resignation letter to NPR CEO @krmaher pic.twitter.com/0hafVbcZAK — Uri Berliner (@uberliner) April 17, 2024 Disparaged.
