Once upon a time, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham (R) was considered one of the most extreme anti-abortion Republicans and one of the worst people, in general. He hasn't changed, but so many other GOP-ers are now consistently outshining him in terms of being a huge piece of shit-and Jezebel really hasn't paid much attention to him lately. But this week, he threw an embarrassing, sexist fit at the Munich Security Conference, over Trump not being allowed to purchase Greenland. Covering him almost felt like a return to a simpler, less fascist time. If there ever really was such a thing.
We're going to be asking the press to leave. That way, we're going to talk very candidly and take questionsThank you very much for being here. It's a great honor. And the media thank you, you can leave now.
So, I decided to go to Iraq, and I flew to Iraq, Trump said. And I was extremely brave. In fact, so brave, I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor. I said to my people, Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor? The Medal of Honor, which is presented on behalf of Congress, is typically awarded by the president to service members who have displayed acts of valor.
By a two-to-one margin, more Americans believe that President Donald Trump is racist than think he is not, even as Trump and his White House protest what they call false accusations of racism. While never far away, the subject of Trump and racism was top of mind when the president issued a denial of racism as he commented on the death of Reverend Jesse Jackson, and that denial was blown up in a White House briefing exchange.
One of the ironies is that, you know, they b**ch and moan about equal time, but I can tell you that I am sure all of these programs that Trump hates have invited Trump and his vice president and his cabinet and a bunch of Republicans to come on, and they choose not to come on because they like to go to the safety bubble of Fox News.
Trump's endless flip-flopping on the Chagos Islands shows why Starmer's approach is doomed to fail. Britain can't rely on the US while Trump is in the White House. It's time to strengthen our ties with allies we can depend on, starting with our neighbours in Europe.
Of all the ways President Trump has pushed the boundaries of executive power, one stands out to lawyers and watchdogs. The president wants the government he leads to pay him billions of dollars. Trump has filed multiple claims arguing he's been hurt by Justice Department investigations and the leak of his tax returns years ago. Now it's up to his own political appointees to determine whether to settle with their boss and for how much taxpayer money.
Americans, broadly speaking from all the polls, are happy for people who are in the country illegally, who then commit crimes unconnected to their status, to be deported, it's the behavior of ICE on the streets of American cities and towns in going way too far with people who may have been in the country for ten years, raised kids, got jobs, paid taxes, and so on, that is not supported by the American people.
BILL MAHER: Okay. Trump, this is Trump this week. As everyone knows, the country of Canada, also known as Canada Has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. How? Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. Prime Minister Carney, well, that's inappropriate when he's called him Governor Carney before, wants to make a deal with China, which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers. I don't think so.
Trump, we're told, reads major newspapers in hard copy, toggles across cable networks throughout the day, marks up stories with a Sharpie, and calls Cabinet officials when front-page articles catch his attention. Aides understand that television appearances affect their standing. Lawmakers text him stories directly. Coverage prompts calls and scrutiny. Trump is described as a ravenous reader, a description that may be true, but also conveys discipline and command.
Trump posted a video to his Truth Social account at 11:44 PM on Thursday night that contains an image depicting President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes: This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.
