McCarthy: Pelosi told him “‘I’ll always back you up’” In McCarthy’s press conference, after being removed as Speaker of the House, he relates how, when the vote to determine Speaker earlier this year was happening, Nancy Pelosi told him “in this room” to “just give it to them” referring to the Motion to Vacate, which allows just one member to call for the Speaker to vacate, “one person can rule you out” as McCarthy put it, with Pelosi saying “‘I’ll always back you up’” according to McCarthy quoting here in this press conference. ~9:03 https://www.c-span.org/video/?530913-1/rep-mccarthy-news-conference-removal-speaker McCarthy himself thus describes how...

Shia LaBeouf, Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö, creators of the anti-Donald Trump “He Will Not Divide Us” exhibition, have relocated their project after it was shut down by New York’s Museum of the Moving Image earlier this month. In a joint statement posted on LaBeouf’s website, the trio called out the museum for its “lack of commitment to the project.” “On February 10, 2017, The Museum of the Moving Image abandoned HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US. Their evident lack of commitment to the project is damning,” the statement reads. “From the outset, the museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing...

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted a report that the Trump administration is considering using the National Guard to round up undocumented immigrants for deportation, a claim that the White House has denied. "That's despicable," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Scott Pruitt's nomination to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. "That would be one of the most un-American things that would happen in the last century." He added: "I just hope it's not true." The Trump administration issued a strongly worded denial on Friday morning after The Associated Press reported that the administration was planning to mobilize...

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s renouncement of birtherism came with some media gamesmanship that compelled television news networks to air 20 minutes of endorsements by retired military men before the candidate briefly got to the point. “We all got Rick-rolled,” said CNN’s Jake Tapper, a reference to the Internet prank of replacing an expected link with a video of singer Rick Astley’s 1987 hit, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The bad blood continued after the Friday morning event when the Trump campaign barred text reporters and a television producer from joining him on a tour of the new Trump...

Nero YouTubes while Rome burns! The White House, probably realizing the entire country is mega-financially-screwed anyway, just rickolled a Twitter critic who complained about the "entertainment value" of an Obama briefing. Retaliation? Watch this annoying video, you jerk! You might think the official mouthpiece of the United States of America indulging in well-worn meme prankery is a little unbecoming of the office, but hey—they're no strangers to love. Obama knows the rules, and so do I. A full tax hike's what he's thinking of—You wouldn't get this from any other guy. He just wants to tell you how he's feeling....

In a move that has the Plantiffs "amazingly overjoyed," Judge David O. Carter has turned down the Government’s motion for Dismissal in the case of Barnett vs. Obama. "This is a victory for democracy and the people of America," Rancho Santa Margarita-based attorney Orly Taitz said after this morning’s early meeting in the Judge’s offices. "This means that, come January, the President of the United States will be forced to come into this same courtroom and explain his massive fraud to the American people." Taitz represents Capt. Pamela Barnett and other military officers who question orders from the commander in...

WASHINGTON D.C. In a surprising reversal, President Obama made an unscheduled appearance in the White House Briefing Room this morning at 10:00 EST. He retracted his controversial statement that the Cambridge Police Officers who arrested Professor Gates of Harvard University acted "stupidly." President Obama stated that, "on reflection and further information, the actions of the Cambdridge Police Officer demanding the identification of a man in a residence whose front door had been smashed open appear reasonable. As President, I should not have gotten involved in a purely local matter, and I fear my own biases regarding race colored my judgment....
