Is there a greater pleasure than watching a thundering narcissist stride proudly into his own pit? Texas conservative Nick Catoggio says he can’t wait to find out. “Specifically, I’m intrigued to see what happens to an unpopular president’s support when he starts an unpopular war that no one saw coming while struggling to resolve another unpopular war he started that no one saw coming,” Catoggio told the Dispatch . Having grown bored with the stalemate in Iran, Catoggio said a “frustrated” Donald Trump allegedly complained to advisers that the plan to squeeze Cuba into submission is going too slow, so he’s decided to speed things up by going “Venezuela” on them. This means indicting the nation’s leader on federal criminal charges as a pretext to kidnapping, positioning U.S. warships near it to intimidate leaders, and then asking Americans “to believe that a banana republic that can’t feed its people is a threat to the United States.” But Americans hate the idea of invading Cuba, with...

Conservative tears into all the 'bananas' in Trump's 'Banana Republic'

Image
Former National Review writer Kevin D. Williamson says there just aren’t enough corruption counters to count all the corruption leeching out of the Trump White House these days. “To recap: Donald Trump has sued the Donald Trump administration over alleged wrongdoing by the Donald Trump administration, and an out-of-court settlement between Donald Trump and the Donald Trump administration will have Donald Trump’s DOJ ponying up the better part of $2 billion to be put into a fund controlled by Donald Trump and used for the benefit of — let’s check in here with dead-eyed White House trash panda J.D. Vance — “people who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protests,” Williamson writes in the Dispatch . “We are going to need a whole brigade of additional tally-men to tally the bananas in this bananas republic,” added Williamson, a writer-in-residence at the conservative Enterprise Institute. The situation amounts to “one group of Trump sycophants negotiating with ano...

Defiant former Republican says losing 'still feels better' than serving Trump

Image
A disenchanted Ex-GOP party-switcher clearly had no patience for President Donald Trump’s opportunistic jab after losing his Democratic bid for governor. Former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan lost behind former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms , and the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Trump could not wait to take to social media and kick Duncan when he was down. “It was a great time and success in Georgia on Tuesday night where Geoff Duncan, a failed Lieutenant Governor, and Disgrace to the Republican Party, ran for Governor, as a Democrat, and lost BIG — A solid 50 points! He wasn’t even close, and is now, I assume, officially out of Politics,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “He has now failed in two Parties. This guy was a LOSER from the first day I met him and now, we can call that official! President DONALD J. TRUMP But in his social media slap-back, Duncan was unrepentant in his decision to reject the Republican Party and the man it nowe serves. “Oddly enough Trump, losing by 50 pe...

Republicans spend big to bury Trump’s specter in this red state

Image
President Donald Trump’s presence is becoming more and more of a liability in the state of Wisconsin, despite state voters choosing to send Trump to the White House in the last election. The president’s plummeting polls may have something to do with a Republican group having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in television ads in Milwaukee and Green Bay to salvage the campaign of Republican state attorney general candidate Eric Toney. “The Republican Attorney General Association will purchase $500,000 in ads in the coming months, targeting Attorney General Josh Kaul and what the organization says has been a weak-on-crime approach to his office over his last two terms,” reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel . Wisconsin is one of four states with Democratic attorneys general where Trump won the 2024 vote, and the Sentinel reports RAGA and other GOP groups have chosen Wisconsin as one of five states for $11 million in ad buys — including Georgia, Kansas, Michigan and Minnesota — ...

Trump’s despised critic is demanding a cut of his slush fund

Image
President Donald Trump's former fixer and personal attorney, Michael Cohen told CNN that he is staking a claim to Trump’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, and he doesn’t care that Trump hates him. By filing papers, Cohen is joining the ranks of Trump ally Michael Caputo and January 6, 2021 rioters who are also looking for a taxpayer-funded payout for what they consider the weaponization of the justice system, despite outcry from critics. “The first time [I was wronged] … an IRS agent out of San Francisco downloaded my information, put it on a thumb drive, improperly used the finance system, and then gave that thumb drive to Michael Avenatti, who gave it to Ronan Farrow and then reported on it,” Cohen told CNN anchor Jake Tapper. The second incident, Cohen said, involved an individual who stole Donald Trump's tax documents, to leak to the press also stole Cohen’s. Tapper delivered some pushback, asking if Ronan Farrow's article resulted “in your being prosecuted?” “Wh...

'This whole thing smells': Nebraska Republican dunks on Trump

Image
Count Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) among the sparse but growing crew of Republicans with the courage to criticize President Donald Trump as he crushes the GOP. Bacon is also among the ranks of Republicans retiring this year , so he finds his courage “on the way out the door” as some critics have accused. Nevertheless, from the safety of his retirement, Bacon is lobbing major pushback against Trump’s controversial slush fund settlement proposal on CNN. “This whole thing smells,” Bacon told CNN. “You have the president is the is the plaintiff, but he's also in charge of the defendants. So he's, in a sense, negotiating with himself. And most people look at that. And that's not impartial. It surely looks partial. So there has to be some kind of arbitrator or some kind of like a judge or something that helps provide an impartial decision on who would get this money.” The announcement of the fund’s creation prompted condemnation among both Democrats and Republicans. On Thursday, Tru...

Ex-Trump official warns president's mistakes are 'costing lives'

Image
President Donald Trump is making mistakes as president that, according to his former Homeland Security Chief of Staff, will cost Americans their lives. Miles Taylor, who served during Trump’s first term, told MS NOW on Wednesday that the $1.776 billion slush fund that Trump created for his political supporters and possibly himself is more expensive than the government spends on important national security projects. "It's probably the biggest heist in American history of any kind, of any sort, that tells you a lot about the United States Congress,” Taylor said during an MS NOW appearance on Wednesday. “The Congress that spent most of its legislative time this week talking about the ballroom, trying to get ballroom funds passed instead of inflation and wars, or this heist." Taylor also denounced Trump’s gutting of America’s scientific infrastructure, particularly when it comes to fighting pandemics. “There are record numbers of measles cases in our country right now,” Tay...
