The screencap in the chyron—Could Impeachment Inquiry Land Trump Associates in Jail?—made Joy Reid's strategy this morning very clear. To get Trump associates to flip against the President, try to panic them with the possibility of prison. Reid brought on two Watergate veterans to tell tales of the many Nixon aides who went to prison. Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks said that back then, "it was, who's going to get the best deal by being the first in [to flip]?" She saw the same thing happening now, ominously adding: "the dominoes are going to start to fall, and it's going...

Bob Iger may not be running for president, but the Disney boss appears to have major support in Hollywood should he decide to join the race. “Mr. Iger is everything you could want in a leader,” Jennifer Garner told Variety Wednesday at the Save the Children Centennial Celebration: Once in a Lifetime gala in Los Angeles. “I dare to say he is presidential. He’s dignified, he’s a risk-taker, he is down to earth, he is wise, and he has integrity. I would hand him any job I possibly could.” When asked if she would hand Iger the Democratic presidential nomination,...

President Donald Trump and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) have been in an ongoing battle. Schiff has repeatedly done everything in his power to make sure President Trump is impeached. For more than two years he told the American people he had the smoking gun, the evidence we needed to prove Trump colluded with Russia. His hopes and dreams were crushed when Special Counsel Robert Mueller – the very guy Democrats wanted to investigate the claims – found no collusion took place. Schiff got a "do over" now that a whistleblower came forward claims President Trump threatened Ukrainian...

A Universal Orlando actor was fired after flashing the “OK” hand sign in a photo taken with a biracial child. Tiffiney Zinger told USA Today that an actor dressed as the movie character Gru from “Despicable Me” posed with her 6-year-old daughter, who is biracial and has autism, at a March character breakfast at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, a Universal hotel.

President Trump tweets: "I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY"

One of then major planks in Trump's campaign platform on which he was duly elected was and is to "Drain the Swamp!" That is now his duty and policy and that policy includes rooting out the entrenched corruption, anti-America bad actors, traitors, crooks, liars, slackers and deadwood from all federal departments and agencies, ie, the so-called "DeepState." Despite all the flak thrown up by Obama, Biden, Hillary, Kerry, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, the democrats, the media, the establishment elite, etc, this is what we the people want and demand and expect of good government. Why would the democrats not want this...

Donald Trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden. Some Republicans are trying, but there’s no way to spin this as a good idea. Like a lot of things Trump does, it was pretty over-the-top. Our leaders’ official actions should not be about politics. Those two things need to remain separate. Once those in control of our government use it to advance their political goals, we become just another of the world’s many corrupt countries. America is better than that. That’s also why it’s...

SENDING messages into deep space could be the best way for Earthlings to find extraterrestrial intelligence, but it carries a grave risk: alerting hostile aliens to our presence. Game theory may provide a way to navigate this dilemma. So far the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has mostly been restricted to listening for signs of technology elsewhere. Only a few attempts have been made to broadcast messages towards distant stars. Many scientists are against such “active” SETI for fear of revealing our presence. If all aliens feel the same way then no one will be broadcasting, and the chance of...

Labor appointee was rehired after hit job was discredited Bloomberg Law finally apologized and retracted a September article that falsely accused Department of Labor appointee Leif Olson of anti-Semitism. Editor-in-Chief Cesca Antonelli told staffers she made the decision after "we spent the last few weeks reviewing our coverage and our editorial processes." The story "did not meet our editorial standards for fairness and accuracy." She did not elaborate on why the review took so long given immediate pushback from reporters and fellow attorneys. "We regret that lapse and have retracted the story," Antonelli said on Friday. "We are also strengthening...

George Conway, a lawyer and the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) should consider President Trump's criticism a "badge of honor" after Trump called the senator an "ass" and told him to "wake up." "Bravo for @MittRomney. He should treat this tweet as a badge of honor. Sen. Romney stood up for the country. @realDonaldTrump stands only for himself," Conway wrote Saturday, quote-tweeting Trump's insult toward Romney.

The president has been under siege, literally, since before he took office in January 2017. Since then, he’s had to endure withering attacks on his motives, his character, his policies, and his family, up to and including an outright attempt to remove him from office and, if the deep state can manage, to throw his ass in jail afterward. And all because he managed to beat the most corrupt bitch ever to run for the Oval Office and, in doing so, screwed up the deep state’s plan to transform our country and all Americans into a global piggy bank for...

In a sign that the right-wing media's relentless defense of President Donald Trump may be cracking, Fox News host Tucker Carlson published an op-ed with Daily Caller co-founder and publisher Neil Patel zinging Trump for his call with Ukraine's president. "Donald Trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden," Carlson and Patel wrote. "Some Republicans are trying, but there's no way to spin this as a good idea." Carlson and Patel added, "Like a lot of things Trump does, it was pretty over-the-top. Our...

Horrifying surveillance footage shows the moment a man is struck by lightning while walking his three dogs in Texas. Alexander Coreas is seen in the video, shared by Stuebner Airline Veterinary Hospital, on Thursday evening around 7pm walking his German Shepherd's, Sophie, Honey and Hazel. Coreas is shown struck by a flash of lightning that sends him crashing to the ground. His three terrified dogs are seen running away as he remained motionless on the cement.

Without a doubt, President Donald Trump has a lot of enemies in DC, both political and real — and sadly, some of them are supposedly members of his own party. The president has been under siege, literally, since before he took office in January 2017. Since then, he’s had to endure withering attacks on his motives, his character, his policies, and his family, up to and including an outright attempt to remove him from office and, if the deep state can manage, to throw him in jail afterward.

I am curious, how do you tell a grandchild (or child if you are younger) to not use profane language when the President of the US and many other public figures use profanity regularly?— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) October 5, 2019

Real Chick-fil-A customer who is deaf and cashier who can sign give a testimonial.

Full-blown panic ensued in the fake news media when it was announced that U.S. Attorney General William Barr was in Italy meeting with government officials about the role of Italian intelligence in what has become popularly known as “Russiagate,” the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
