If you go back a long way, the sitting president, whether it's Democrat or Republican, always loses the midterm, even if they've done well. Almost always. And, you know, you'd think it'd be like a 50/50 deal. Even if the president's done a great job. I think we've done a great job. We've done maybe the best job ever in the first year, but they always seem to lose the midterm.
Donald and the Trump regime desperately want to pretend either that January 6 was a positive thing, or to pretend that it never happened at all,
The first time Donald Trump took the oath of office, I felt an overwhelming sense of doom. My whole body somehow felt both impossibly heavy and utterly empty at the same time, like it couldn't decide whether it'd be safer to sink into the ground or float away into the clouds. I'll forever remember when Sean Spicer - Trump's first in what became a revolving door of White House press secretaries - stormed up to the podium, red-faced and fuming,
President Donald Trump is opining on some shocking news out of the NFL giving his complete and total endorsement to a surprising new coaching free agent. In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump spoke out in support of fired Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh who reportedly has no shortage of suitors after the Ravens dismissed him following an 18-year run with the team. HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST. Trump wrote. HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!
Some comics go the route of I'm going to just say F Trump' all the time or that's their comedy. And I think well now, a little bit, you're being co-opted because you're so angry. You've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying F Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy.' And I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger.
In a bizarre, rambling speech where his words would trail off and seemingly contradict one another, Trump performed an exaggerated impression of contenders in a weightlifting contest. Firstly, he pretended to be a cis female athlete who struggled to lift the weight, using over-the-top grunting and groaning to showcase the effort he believed women have to go through to lift something heavy. "Drops the thing, walks off the stage crying. Her mother's crying, her father's crying," he states.
On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day, when the mob made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue, battled police at the Capitol barricades and stormed inside, as lawmakers fled. The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the events, which were broadcast around the globe. And the official plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol has never been hung.
Five years ago outside the White House, the outgoing President Donald Trump told a crowd of his supporters to head to the Capitol and I'll be there with you in protest as Congress was affirming the 2020 election victory for Democrat Joe Biden. A short time later, the world watched as the seat of U.S. power descended into chaos, and democracy hung in the balance. On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day, when the mob made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue, battled police at the Capitol barricades and stormed inside, as lawmakers fled.
A lot of times they'll say, I wish Mike were tougher.' He's tough. He's tough as anybody in the room, actually. But can't be tough when you have a majority of three and now, sadly, a little bit less than that. But, you can't be Trump. You can't, I want you!' You know, you make 10 enemies, 20 enemies. That's the end of that, right?
United States Senator Lindsey Graham has shared a photo of President Donald Trump holding a signed hat that says Make Iran Great Again, fuelling concerns about the possibility of renewed war with Iran. Graham, a Trump ally and foreign policy hawk, posted the picture on X on Monday, saying that Trump has made the US stronger at home and abroad. list of 3 itemsend of list God bless our Commander in Chief and all of the brave men and women who serve under him,
I met the dude at [a] dinner with his wife, who was genuinely a wonderful person and he was thinking of moving to Los Angeles and being a movie producer, Allen said. Really? an amused Maher said. Allen said the dinner with the president and Melania Trump happened around his last or second-to-last season starring on The Apprentice which would put the meal in the 2014-15 range. And he was talking about movies. He said I really like the film business.'
And most of all, I want to thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom, we would be going home empty-handed tonight, said Kimmel to the crowd. So thank you, Mr. President, for all the many ridiculous things you do each and every day. It's been a banner couple of weeks, and we can't get wait to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them.
The South American country is not Ukraine, nor, for that matter, is it Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya. But by ordering military strikes to seize dictator Nicolas Maduro, Trump has thrown a country of around 28 million people into uncertainty and tossed aside the most obvious, hard-won lesson of decades of US foreign policy failures: regime-change wars are easy to start and hard to win, much less to turn into anything resembling genuine success.
It's not quite a new year resolution, and it's certainly not a prediction. Think of it instead as a hope or even a plea for the next 12 months. May the coming year see those leaders who have done so much damage to their own countries, and far beyond, at last be called to account. Let 2026 be a year of reckoning.
