Fox News Host Predicts 'Huge Win' For 'Strong' Biden In Second Debate

Fox News host Shannon Bream predicted that President Joe Biden would likely have a "huge win" if there were a second debate with former President Donald Trump.

Bream spoke to the hosts of Fox & Friends on Sunday about Biden's poor debate performance.

"And the Biden campaign has said repeatedly over the last couple of days, we are definitely showing up in September, but always kind of adding this line," she explained. "We'll see what President Trump does, because I think that they know there's a possibility that he says, listen, I'm going to, you know, in his parlance, I think I can hear him saying, I'm going to call the mercy rule. I'm not going to show up."

Bream noted that the Biden campaign would press to move forward with a second debate even if Trump tries to back out.

"And remember, the very next day in North Carolina, he had this rally where President Biden was on," the Fox News host recalled. "He was sharp. He was commanding. His voice was strong. He was clear with his thoughts, with his policies, with what he was saying."

"It was such a contrast that if that's the guy who shows up in September, listen, that would be a huge win for the Biden campaign because they'd say, look, this is the real guy," she added. "He had one bad night. He was sick. You know, it's ancient history."

What Was Hiding At This Debate? In 2020 It Was COVID

Disgraced and demoted Dr. Ronny "Pill Mill" Jackson wanted drug testing before the debates. Rep. Ronny Johnson Jackson demanded that testing as part of the pre-debate messaging push. But he KNEW that it wouldn't happen, especially for this debate. Plus, if you know you'll be drug tested and might fail, you can stop taking the drug or cheat. That's what Trump did when he cheated on his scheduled COVID test before the 2020 debate.

At the 2020 debate Trump was scheduled to be tested for COVID, everyone was supposed to be tested for COVID AT THE VENUE, THE DAY OF THE DEBATE. Biden and his people got tested, they followed the rules designed to protect themselves, AND OTHERS. But Trump, and his enablers, showed up late to avoid testing for COVID because, as Mark Meadows' 2021 book revealed,Trump had tested positive for COVID Saturday, September 26 2020, three days before the September 29th debate.
Also, his entourage didn't wear masks, as was required by the venue.

Rubio Echos Trump's Racist Remarks On 'Black Jobs'

The Felon managed to slam migrants and Black Americans at the same time. Florida suckup Sen. Marco Rubio tried to explain the former President's remark, saying, "You know what he meant," and that's a go-to line for Trumpers. They always have to explain what the addlebrained Felon meant.

"What is a black job?" Rubio is asked.

"First of all, you know what he meant by that, okay?" the Florida Republican insisted. "He meant jobs that are filled by African Americans in America and others, Americans in general, but the question in specific was about Black voters."

No, Marco, we don't know what he meant.

MAGA Prophet Wants Trump To Rip Biden's Face Off At Debate

A self-proclaimed "prophet" Hank Kunneman tells his MAGA audience he hopes Trump will move to shake Biden's hand and then rip off his apparent mask reveling Satan, maybe?

There are a multitude of self-proclaimed prophets inhabiting the MAGA cult that claim they talk to God while trying to turn diminished Donald into an new angelic figure akin to Jesus.

I think President Trump, he'll always make it about, you know, what's, you know, this fake Biden, what's he going to be like when he shows up, you know, if he shows up.

I think it's going to be more about what are the moderators going to do, how they're going to try to set President Trump up, limit what he says, mute his microphone, and really make it difficult for him.

I think that's going to be the real thing that's going to happen in the debate.

Fake Biden?

And I said something last night on Flashpoint that, you know, the secular media is talking about, wouldn't it be great, I'm going to say it for the audience that maybe didn't see it last night, wouldn't it be great if President Trump would go and reach out to this Biden guy and move forward and give him a hug, and at the same time, his hand slips and we see who's under that mask, wouldn't that be great for the whole world to see?

Psychos like Kunneman believe the Pope is a hologram. I kid you not.

Trump Threatens To Sue ProPublica Over Witness Payoff Story

Trump's legal team is threatening litigation against ProPublica, for a story published at the start of this month alleging his business and campaign are paying "significant financial benefits" to witnesses in cases against him. Via Raw Story:

"Trump’s attorney sent ProPublica a cease-and-desist letter demanding this article not be published. It warned that if the outlet and its reporters 'continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies,'" stated the post.

The original article in question detailed how nine witnesses in criminal cases against Trump have stood to gain financially from various arrangements with his campaign and business entities.

"The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings," stated that report, written by Robert Faturechi, Justin Elliott and Alex Mierjeski. "One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee."

Republicans Panic; Mike Johnson Whines About CNN Debate

Speaker Mike Johnson held a presser and complained that President Biden will have a three to one advantage in the CNN debate even if he's hopped up on energy drinks.

The only fair debate moderators would come from Christian nationalists and white supremacists from OANN, Stew Peters, and Sean Hannity.

Johnson wildly speculated that the country would hear a positive vision for America.

Hahaha.

Johnson: Look, my summary is this.

It doesn't matter if he drinks a whole gallon of energy drinks. He's not going to be able to match the acumen and the readiness of Donald Trump. And that's what we expect.

Even if it's a three-on-one situation, I mean, obviously, the CNN moderators have shown an open disdain for President Trump.

We've seen the tapes rolling of all their comments, so we know it's not a fair fight.

Drinking energy drinks is not a crime, not that Biden will drink any. If Biden has dementia, like MAGA and Fox News continually allude to, then stimulants would paralyze him, not help him in any situation.

Asking Trump pertinent questions is considered Marxist, socialist, and communist propaganda.

Diminished Donald is always "being attacked and vilified and never in a fair fight" by any media not worshiping at his narcissistic and fascist alter.

Ronny Jackson Spent Thousands In Donor Funds At A Fancy Pants Club

Rep. Ronny Jackson, who has quite a history of dubious behavior, is under investigation for using campaign funds for an expensive private club membership in a potential violation of campaign finance rules, according to reports released Monday by Congressional investigators. The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously to continue a two-month-old probe into Jackson's conduct. And it's not just the Texas Republican, but Rep. Wesley Hunt, too, who used campaign funds at a private club. I'm starting to sense a pattern here.

The Texas Tribune reports:

Jackson spent nearly $12,000 since 2020 on membership at the Tony Amarillo Club, and Hunt spent over $74,000 between April 2022 and January 2024 at the Post Oak Hotel, including membership fees at its exclusive Oak Room club, according to the reports. Federal campaign finance rules allow campaign funds for specific events at private clubs, but not typically for membership or unlimited access.

Eric Trump On How History Will View His Father Will Give You The Sickies

Even Eric Trump doesn't believe what came out of his stupid mouth. The legacy Felon 45 will leave behind isn't a good one.

What's alarming is that his supporters don't care that he's an adjudicated rapist, a misogynist, a homophone, a xenophobe, a tax cheat, a serial liar, an incompetent bungling old man with a penchant for grifting his base and fucking porn stars, a divisive, polarizing figure that danced while Americans were dying during a pandemic, a man who seeks constant adoration, and a man who will do anything for a tax break, including where he buried the mother of his adult children, a monster, and the Republican nominee who is seeking the Black vote despite his long history of racism.

He is an appalling figure, and historians will have a field day while trying to make sense of how a raging narcissist could be elected to the highest seat in the land. But if you're Eric Trump, his father will be known for his "unvarnished honesty."

"There's so many times you can lie to somebody before they just stop believing you and I actually think ultimately it will do a great justice for this country," Eric said on some obscure podcast. "I think my father will go down, maybe his greatest accomplishment will actually be the unvarnished honesty that he's really taken toward the whole system."

"The fact that he was able to take this system in Washington, D.C. that's existed for a long time and really pull the rug out from under it and expose it for what it is, expose these people for what it is, expose the games for what it is," he added.

CNN Host Wasn't Taking Trump Spox's Sh*t, And Shut Her Down

Republicans and the right-wing media bubble are freaking out that Biden is at Camp David preparing for the debate this week while Lumpy is holding rallies. They know he won't win the debate. So, they're giving him excuses to claim the felon is being mistreated. Both sides agreed to the debate being hosted on CNN, and I suspect it's to provide the former President with an excuse for coming to a battle unarmed.

CNN This Morning anchor Kasie Hunt wasn't taking Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt's shit, so she put her in her place. Trump enablers usually talk extremely fast in interviews so the hosts can't get a word in. People like Rep. Byron Donalds, for example. But Hunt didn't let that happen as Leavitt tried to bash debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash instead of addressing the questions presented to her.

Hunt played a clip where Trump said, in part, "I'll lose the debate on purpose." That's when the interview went off the rails.

Despite the lack of evidence that Trump is preparing for the debate, Leavitt insisted that Trump is "well prepared," adding that "unlike Joe Biden, he doesn't have to hide away and have his advisers tell him what to say."

"[Former] President Trump knows what he wants to say, and he's going to relay his vision to the American people to make this country strong, safe, secure, and wealthy again," Leavitt insisted. "He's been doing that across this great nation to all corners of this country."

Note: That is not how debates work, you git.

'He's Going To Do Awesome': Eric Trump Raises Expectations For Father At CNN Debate

Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, predicted his father would "do awesome" at Thursday's debate with President Joe Biden on CNN.

On Sunday, Eric Trump spent most of his interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo complaining that CNN was biased against his father.

"Make no mistake, this is still CNN, right?" Eric Trump said. "This is Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper has compared my father to Hitler before, right?"

"I saw them as I walked into a courtroom every day where they're sitting there with grins on their face," he recalled. "I mean, just ear-to-ear smiles, right? So understand that he's not just gonna be debating Joe Biden. He's gonna be debating CNN."

Eric Trump said previous debates on CNN included "attack after attack" on his father.

"And you better believe that Biden's gonna be getting a lot of, you know, a free pass, and, you know, you better believe that they're, you know, gonna hit my father," he insisted.

Bartiromo suggested "CNN rules" would prevent debate hosts from asking Biden questions about "influence peddling."

However, Eric Trump ultimately expected the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to "do awesome" at the debate.

"He's got the right message," he asserted. "He's got the love of America behind him, and he's gonna do, he's gonna do awesome."

"He always does. He's gonna do great," he added.

Ooof! Ronny 'Candyman' Jackson Just Broke The Coked Out Irony Meter

While providing care for two U.S. Presidents, Dr. Ronny Jackson, now a Texas Congressman, was demoted by the Navy because a Pentagon Inspector General report found that he had been taking sedatives. Jackson earned himself the nickname "The Candyman." He turned Trump's White House into a pill mill, handing out various meds all willy-nilly. Jackson was found to have smelled of alcohol while on the job. At one point, Jackson got drunk with junior staff and banged on a female subordinate's door in the middle of the night. When the woman answered the door, he said, "I need you."

That said, Rep. Drunky McDrunkface told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo that he will be writing the White House to demand that President Biden submit to a drug test for performance-enhancing drugs before the debate with Trump. Felon 45 has suggested without evidence that Biden will come to the debate all coked up. I smell desperation.

"He's going to be at Camp David for a full week before the debate," Jackson said. "Part of that is probably experimenting with just getting the doses just right because they have to treat his cognition, they have to give him something to help him think straighter, they have to give him something to wake him up for his alertness, and then he's been agitated."

The Felon's Pennsylvania Rally Sure Had A Lot Of Empty Seats

Felon 45 held a rally in the city of Brotherly Love on Saturday, urging voters in Pennsylvania to use mail-in ballots, something he has consistently raged against—until now. Of course, his speech was littered with lies, including about crime in the city, even though crime is down across the United States. The former President repeated his election lies, this time saying, "They used COVID to cheat. They used a lot of things to cheat, but we're not going to let it happen again." When in reality, it was Trump who tried to steal the 2020 election.

Trump suggested a "fight league" for migrants to the U.S., and that right there should be a disqualifier. Trump's wifebot was an immigrant. Shall we toss her in the cage match, too?

The top tiers appear completely empty in videos of the 10,000-seat venue while the felon rambled on. Still, people showed up and cheered at the thought that migrants who left their countries for a better life could end up in a "fight league" for survival in the land of the free.

The video above shows the crowd after the orange aberration started speaking. Before he spoke, it wasn't any better. That's to be expected, though. But it didn't get much better for Lumpy.

Kimmel: Trump 'One For Ten' On Ten Commandments

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel had a field day with Trump following wingnut Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry's stunt forcing public schools to display them in public schools.

After first showing a clip of the child fainting behind Landry during the signing ceremony, and saying basically the same thing we did here, that maybe the poor kid fainting is a bad omen for Landry, Kimmel moved onto the Ten Commandments and how many Trump has broken.

KIMMEL: The governor said he is looking forward to a legal challenge. He believes this is a big win for him politically.

Now this is the kind of thing we have to deal with now in the Trump era. Everything is upside down. People are doing things just for attention.

In fact, let’s go over those Ten Commandments. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt make no idols. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Honor thy father and mother.

You know what, I’ll give him that one, he has his mom’s hair-do.

Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness. And thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.

Okay, he’s one for ten. Not bad.

Felon Trump's Revenge Tour Starts With Attacking Paul Ryan

Last week, Paul Ryan appeared on Fox and stated that Trump was unfit to be President and that he wasn't going to vote for him.

Apparently,, in a delayed reaction, Felon Trump filled his oversized diapers which made his cranky as well as crazy:

screenshot_2024-06-20_014128

Ryan said last week that death, taxes and craziness from Trump are the three certainties in his life and didn't seem overly concerned about Trump ripping on him then and it's highly unlikely that he's any more concerned now.

The more disconcerting part was the end of Felon Trump's post, when he said, "ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP." It sure seems that he is starting to believe in his own claptrap and is developing a Messiah complex, as opposed to just playing it up. That and his other cognitive and emotional issues should be a real cause for concern. I've seen enough movies about WWII and the Nazis to know where this is going.

Doug Burgum Calls The Kettle Black On 'Dictatorships'

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum improved his chances to be named Trump's VP nominee when he falsely claimed President Biden was running a dictatorship.

Burgum: Under Joe Biden we're actually living under a dictatorship today where he's you know bypassing Congress on immigration policy, he's bypassing Congress on protecting our border, he's bypassing Congress on student loan forgiveness, and he's defying the Supreme Court.

I mean those are the things that authoritarians and dictators do is they don't follow our democratic processes and they just assert their own liberal view and that's what the Biden

It is the Republican-led House of Representatives that refused to take up the Senate immigration bill that was passed and would have been signed immediately into legislation by Biden.

Project 2025 is Trump's plan to install only sycophantic loyalists in government. Only TRump wants total presidential immunity on any act he takes.

Traitor Trump loves it when his surrogates transfer his immoral acts onto his political rivals.

Editor's note (Frances Langum): I think Trump is seriously considering Burgum for veep because Trump knows Burgum will spend his OWN money to get elected. But will Trump run alongside a guy who has way more money than Trump himself does?

Sniffy McAdderall Suggests Biden Will Come To The Debate All Coked Up

What excuse will Felon 45 come up with to get out of debating President Biden? You know his handlers must be freaking out since he's got even more luggage than he did when Biden trounced him in 2016. Interestingly, It was Trump who would sniff through rallies that he held non-stop through his four-year crime spree that he called a presidency. And it's Ronny Jackson, who has taken his fair share of drugs and loves a good drink or ten, who was his doctor. Jackson, who Trump calls "Johnson," turned the White House into a pill mill. Regardless, Trump suggested at his rally in Wisconsin that Biden would show up all coked up for their debate on June 27th. So, he's not Sleepy Joe anymore, eh?

"Biden doesn't have a clue," Trump insisted. "Now we're going to watch. Is anybody going to watch the debate?"

"He's going to be so pumped up," he continued. "He's going to be pumped up. You know, all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House."

Note: It wasn't last month, you demented old fool. It was last year, and your son, a human 8-ball, could have left it.

"What happened?" he said. "Who left it? Somebody left it. I wonder. Let's see."

"Somebody left a laptop in an office of a gentleman who was supposed to fix the laptop from hell," he continued as if there is any correlation to the previous comment, unless he's suggesting that Hunter Biden left the cocaine in the White House. "He never picked it up. And somebody didn't pick up."

GOPer Mocked Over Bill To Rename Coastal Waters After Trump

There are buildings with Trump's name on them. However, tenants have fought to strip the former President's name from their buildings in some cases. In New York, a judge ruled that residents of Trump Place have the right to remove Lumpy's name from the building if enough of them approve of it. But Republicans really want to give Trump something.

Rep. Greg Steube, whose district includes Sarasota County, is licking Trump's boots as hard as possible. Steube will introduce legislation on Friday to rename the U.S. coastal waters after the orange aberration, who is a convicted felon who was found liable for sexual abuse. Still, Florida Man's bill would require all maps, regulations, documents, papers, and other records to refer to the EEZ as the "Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States," according to WFLA.

Steube was mocked on Xitter over his legislation.

Van Orden Cosplays An Alternative D-Day History

Representative Derrick Van Orden (J6 - WI) took an interesting trip, both physically and mentally, for the 80th commemoration of D-Day.

First, DVO and seven other wing nut Congresscritters dressed up like WWII paratroopers to cosplay an alternative history version of D-Day in which the fascists stormed Normandy Beach:

Not bad for a guy who is receiving disability benefits for a supposed bad back.

But before they entered their fictional dysfunctional dystopia, DVO put down the booze bottle long enough to do an interview on News Nation where he said that if Biden was president in 1944, we would have lost WWII. He immediately went into an insane tirade about how Biden has the country on the verge of WWIII. Naturally, since he is a MAGA wing nut, all these accusations were made without even a rationale, much less any proof.

But hold on a minute because there's more. There's always more.

Before all that, DVO did another interview with Meg Ellefson on her squawk radio show:

Marjorie Taylor Greene Supports Trump Because Jesus 'Is Also A Convicted Felon'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) argued Donald Trump was like Jesus because the Christian savior was also a "convicted felon."

Greene made the remarks while speaking at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Sunday.

"It is bullshit, and you want to know something?" she said. "We aren't going to tolerate it."

"The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about, oh, President Trump is a convicted felon," she continued. "Well, you want to know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon, and he was murdered on a Roman cross."

Greene said Trump's conviction in a New York hush money trial amounted to "political corruption."

"We have seen this throughout history," she opined. "This is nothing new. It's just the first time in American history we have been forced to deal with it."

Byron Donalds: Johnson's Great Society Destroyed Black Families

Florida Republican Byron Donalds continued to claim Black families were better off in the Jim Crow era than after President Lyndon Johnson passed historic legislation to give them equal protection and rights under the laws of the U.S. Constitution.

Donalds joined Fox News to be interviewed by Bill Hemmer. Donalds is either ignorant of history or lying. Black Americans did not have access to or were viciously intimidated not to use the ballot box like they did after the Voting Rights Act passed.

What Donalds said and continues to say is reprehensible.

HEMMER: What were you trying to say then?

DONALDS: First of all, what we're talking about in Philadelphia a couple of days ago was the importance of black families and united black families, growing black families in the United States.

That's very, very important.

The empirical fact is that Lyndon Johnson's policies, the Great Society and other issues led to a massive decline in the marriage rate in black America.

That is an empirical fact.

Donalds uses no facts or information to make these claims. I guess he willed it so.

As usual for a MAGA cultist, whenever their horrendous words and analogies are thrown back in their faces, they claim you're gaslighting.

Fox News Smears Trump Trial Jurors With A Fake Facebook Cousin

On Fox News, uber Trump fanatic Pete Hegseth filling in for shitstain Jesse Watters pretended that a troll on Facebook could actually have been the cousin of a juror and claimed to know the verdict before it was handed down.

Not surprising, the Fox News host intentionally failed to mention the letter that the judge sent to both the defense and prosecutors made clear it was a phony. Instead they claimed they couldn't be certain of the identity of the person.

MSNBC and others have identified the troll as “Michael Anderson” who said he is a "professional shitposter."

The segment was labeled as a Fox News Alert.

We move on now to a Fox News alert.

Trump's lawyers and the prosecution just received a letter from Judge Merchan, alerting them to a post on Facebook made before the verdict came out, saying, quote, "my cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted!!!!"

Thank you folks for all your hard work, four exclamation points.

The entire post, including the comment, has since been deleted. Fox has not confirmed the commenter's identity. We just know the judge sent out a letter.

We don't know if this guy was actually the cousin of a juror. This could easily be a prank.

Trump's team told Fox they are looking into it. They're investigating it. And we will have more for you on Monday. Don't want to get ahead of our schemes.

No Worries, Fam. Dr. Phil Will 'Try' To Stop Trump From Exacting Revenge

In the history of softball interviews, Dr. Phil McGraw's interview last night with convicted felon Donald Trump was the softballiest. And it was weird, too. Really weird. So, Dr. Phil is definitely a Trumper, and part of that might be that he doesn't want to fork over his fair share of taxes.

The TV psychologist weighed in on the former reality TV show star's desire for retribution against his perceived enemies. "I am going to relentlessly try and get him to not do that," he said. So, no worries, fam. Dr. Phil will handle the psychopath. Don't you feel better now? For me, I'm just not going to vote for a psychopath so we can completely dodge that bullet, and we won't need Dr. Phil at hand to deal with the raging narcissist.

Dr. Phil talked with CNN's Abby Phillip; it was very special.

"What do you sense is his inclination, because just today he said, for example, that he would indict the January 6th committee members, presumptively the members of Congress who were on that committee investigating what happened on January 6th," she said. "Are you more or less convinced after sitting down with him that he actually would follow through on those kinds of pledges?"

"Well, I actually don't think he will," McGraw said. "I think this is a situation that, you know, it's a process. This is something that I think he's had in his mind that there's only one way to go, and that's to get even."

Glorious! Watch Steve Bannon Cry After Sentencing At Courthouse

Donald Trump's former campaign manager and advisor Steve Bannon cried crocodile tears at the courthouse today after being ordered to begin his prison sentence on July 1 for his conviction for contempt of Congress.

The scurrilous Real America's Voice host was sentenced to four months in prison, but was out on appeal.

Bannon whined that the Justice Department and Merrick Garland were putting him behind bars to silence him, which is a lie.

Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, the entire Justice Department, they're not going to shut up Trump, they're not going to shut up Navarro, they're not going to shut up Bannon, and they're certainly not going to shut up MAGA.

Bannon had refused to provide "documents and testimony to the House Select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack. He was sentenced to four months in prison."

As one of the orchestrators of the seditious January 6th insurrection and phony electors plot to overthrow the government, his incarceration had nothing to do the 2024 election, nor did it really have much to do with the 2020 election. Congress wanted to ask Bannon questions, Bannon refused to appear, and so he was convicted of contempt for that body.

True The Vote Lady Copes Badly As '2,000 Mules' Yanked

The ironically named True The Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht isn't taking Salem Media Group yanking 2,000 Mules from its platforms, and the apology they issued very well. And really, it's Engelbrecht who should be apologizing, too, after her group told a Georgia judge in February that it doesn't have any evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the 2020 general election and the runoff two months later.

Dinesh D'Souza's widely debunked film used research from True the Vote as a basis to prove its false claims of ballot stuffing.

"On Friday, we were surprised to read that Salem Media had announced that they had settled in a lawsuit that was filed several years ago by an individual that appeared in the 2000 Mules movie and that individual sued Salem Media and Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote and myself and Gregg Phillips," she said, Media Matters reports.

Engelbrecht sees a conspiracy theory behind the well-deserved apology.

Fox News Attacks First Lady For Attending Hunter's Trial

Fox's Trace Gallagher and former Bill Barr flunky Kerri Urbahn accused First Lady Jill Biden of trying to send "a message from the White House by heaven forbid appearing in the courtroom during jury selection for Hunter Biden's trial in Delaware on federal gun charges.

Everything is projection with these people. Trump sits there glaring at the potential jurors during during jury selection in New York, and now they've got to accuse Jill Biden of doing the same thing.

Here's the exchange with Gallagher and Urbahn this Monday accusing the First Lady of trying to intimidate potential jurors:

GALLAGHER: Legal editor and former counselor to Attorney General Bill Barr, Kerri great to have you on I'm just wondering as you kind of listen to David go over what's happening in the courthouse there, are you surprised we got this far? Are you surprised this thing didn't end with some sort of plea deal?

URBAHN: Yeah, I'm very surprised. I think it would have been in Hunter's best interest to plead out to this given that it's a pretty open and shut case. You know, by his own admission he was a drug user during the time he purchased this gun we know that from his book. The prosecution says they have ample evidence of videos and photos and the like from his infamous laptop that showed the same.

The Heritage Foundation Officially Joins The Terrorists

It used to be that The Heritage Institute was one of those semi-respectable right-wing think tanks, like the American Enterprise Institute, the Hudson Institute, the CATO Institute, the Claremont Institute, etc. that generally espoused conservative ideology without going off into crazyland, like the John Birch Society. Well, those days are dead and gone, and they've now thrown their lot in with the rest of the MAGA anti-American extremists.

Source: Raw Story

A conservative think tank with a controversial plan for if Donald Trump wins the presidential election was under fire on Friday after flying their headquarters' flag upside down and then advertising it.

Heritage Foundation, known in part for its "Project 2025" plan to remake the government in MAGA's image, posted a photo of its upside-down flag on social media after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a hush money cover-up case in New York. The stunt is likely a reference to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, whose wife reportedly flew an upside-down American flag in response to a neighbor's anti-Trump signs and a follow-up fight.

It didn't play well on social media.

Reaction was swift on the internet.

'Spades': Eric Trump's Freudian Slip Speaks Volumes

There is trouble in TrumpWorld. Donald was just found guilty on 34 felony counts in New York. So, he desperately wants to go back to the safety of the White House, but he isn't getting the Black vote, even though that's what he'd like you to believe. And then reports came out from a former producer of The Apprentice, saying that Trump said the n-word, and it's on tape. Trump has been a racist for his entire life, so that's not hard to believe.

Eric Trump used a bizarre choice of words while talking to Maria Bartiromo.

"You know, that's all anyone's talking about at this point," the Fox News lady said. "Will President Trump be able to run, and when will he be able to do the things that he was planning on doing for the campaign to actually be victorious in November? What are the restrictions they're putting on, and what is your answer to that?"

"Well, Maria, as I walked out of that courthouse that day, I said May 30th, 2024, might be the day that won it for Donald Trump," the idiot son of the former President said. "I'm telling you, I've never seen this country more upset about what's happening and you know it's a law of unintended consequences."

C&L's Late Nite Music Club Joe Bonamassa 'The Heart That Never Waits' (Live)

When I'm in the mood for some scorching hot guitar playing, I never go wrong putting on a Joe Bonamassa track.

He was a child prodigy starting guitar at age 4 and opening for B.B. King at age 12.

Considered a child prodigy on guitar, Bonamassa was finessing Stevie Ray Vaughan licks when he was 7. By the time he was 10, he had caught blues icon B.B. King’s ear, according to his biography. By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for King and went on to tour with acts including Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman.
