President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice wasted no time filing charges against podcaster and former CNN anchor Don Lemon and other people for daring to interview a pastor at an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church. A mere two days after a Jan. 18 protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, the DOJ filed a criminal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, on Jan. 20. Those charges targeted eight protestors (later expanded to 30 defendants) with violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and conspiracy to violate rights. On March 18, the court sought to delay the trial, designating it “complex within the meaning” of the law, and excluding the Speedy Trial Act to give the parties adequate time to prepare. But now Trump’s perpetually understaffed attorneys are seeking to delay information submission deadlines an additional 90 days. This, said Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko, is surprising. “… [The] Court is troubled...

UK leader living in Trump’s 'large intestine for 10 years' now fleeing: report

Image
After being President Donald Trump’s “bestie” for ages, British leaders are trying to leap out the window at his approach, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde . Parliament member Nigel Farage’s, is trying to “consciously uncouple from Donald Trump,” despite being “most firmly lodged ” up his backside for “the past decade,” said Hyde. “Nigel’s made such a massive, self-satisfied show of his real estate in the presidential large intestine for 10 years now that I actually don’t think non-surgical extraction is possible at this stage. He doesn’t just get to walk away whistling. The only way out is a full Faragectomy. I’ll give the president a piece of drone fuselage to bite down on,” Hyde said. Hyde said Farage is not the only British leader trying to duck the U.S. president “ as Operation Epic Facepalm rapidly unspools .” “A whole posse of Britain’s political and pundit class greeted Keir Starmer’s failure to jump two-footed into Israel and the US’s Iran operation as a truly calam...

Katie Couric tears down Melania movie with single word

Image
When award-winning journalist and media founder Katherine Couric drops a bomb, she can do it with minimal investment and maximum understatement, reports the State . The target of her derision this week was the fawning adoration from a Melania Trump fan who posted a clip from the First Lady’s maligned “Melania” documentary. The clip depicts Melania riding in her car while singing along to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." The person who posted the video claimed the sing-along clip, with its overlong shaky interior car-scene footage of Mrs. Trump’s feeble voice trickling out karaoke from a back seat, was the poster’s "favorite" part of the movie. He added that the scene of Melania’s uncommitted performance — interspersed with its camera phone-style shots of the rear bumpers of Trump’s expensive security detail — made her look like “a real person.” To this, Couric, delivered the one-word response: "Riveting." “Couric's cheeky one-liner garnered a...

'Don’t know what to do': Trump admin roiling from new diagnosis

Image
President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles , announced on Monday through the president that she was diagnosed with breast cancer — and reports indicate the White House is worried about how it will get by without her. “Wiles’ diagnosis has generated fresh anxiety among aides and allies who describe her as perhaps the sole irreplaceable figure in Trump’s orbit — and the only one capable of imposing order on a White House led by a famously unmanageable commander in chief,” CNN reported on Thursday. One longtime Trump adviser told the publication, “She’s basically doing what we were told was impossible. I don’t know what any of us — especially the president — would do without Susie.” CNN described Wiles as a “constant presence” in Trump’s White House, frequently attending his sensitive meetings and high profile public events. In a White House where Trump wishes to be the center of attention, Wiles is skilled at staying out of range of the cameras, providing assistance while n...

Barron Trump befriends influencers who preach male dominance and women's subjugation

Image
President Donald Trump’s 19-year-old son Barron is reportedly close friends with Justin Waller, an influencer in the so-called “manosphere” who preaches mistreatment of women. In the new Netflix documentary Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere , the 40-year-old Waller bragged that he had befriended Barron and in general joined Trump’s “inner circle.” “I had dinner with Barron at Mar-a-Lago,” Waller said. “I met Donald that night. I’ve been to Mar-a-Lago four or five times.” Manosphere influencers like Waller preach the belief that men are inherently superior to women and should be able to control women’s lives. They argue for patriarchal values in which women exist only to serve men domestically and sexually. Waller specifically advocates one-way monogamy wherein women are expected to be faithful to men but men are socially permitted to sleep with as many women as they desire. Waller is not the only manosphere influencer to find his way into Barron Trump’s good graces. In Decembe...

GOP strategist: Trump's moment of reckoning is now — not someday in the future

Image
Former George H. W. Bush campaign field director Rick Wilson says there’s no reason to wait for the moment when President Donald Trump tumbles from his throne. The tumbling’s already begun. “There’s a moment in every failed strongman’s story when the noise fades, the flunkies fall silent and slip from the throne room one final time before the shooting starts,” said Wilson, who is currently a pundit, media consultant and Florida author. “There’s a moment where the court jesters stop laughing at the Dear Leader’s every joke, and when reality comes crashing through the gilded walls like a breaching charge. There’s a moment when the loyal bodyguard’s eyes flicker with some new signal, and the dictator wonders if the tools of oppression and brutality will be turned on him.” And for Trump, Wilson said that moment isn’t a “someday” thing. It’s a “ now ” thing. “Nothing will save you now, Donald,” said Wilson. “Not the war. Not the lies. Not today’s loyalists, tomorrow’s traitors. Not th...

Trump doesn't understand capitalism — and Americans are paying the price: congressman

Image
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) claims President Donald Trump is in denial when it comes to the price of oil. And the congressman doesn’t understand if Trump even has a vision for ending the conflict. Speaking with host Tim Miller on The Bulwark podcast , Khanna was asked to espond to a presidential statement where Trump mused that the U.S. should finish off what’s left of the “terrorist state,” and then let the countries that need the Strait of Hormuz deal with getting it back up and running. Khanna said “the president doesn’t understand global supply and demand for oil.” Stopping the oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, “It’s going to push prices up for everyone.” Although, he conceded, “Great for Midland.” “Just go to your gas pump and you’ll see prices are up,” Khanna said. As the war appears to be dragging on and the Iranian regime shows no signs of surrender, Trump has also shown no signs of a master strategy to turn that around. “There’s no coherence to the policy,” Khanna sai...
