Donald Trump is once again causing social media to ask whether or not his lawyer, Alina Habba, is in line to become the next Mrs. Trump. At his New Year's Eve Party on Sunday night, Habba can be seen smiling a giant smile with Trump, but Melania is nowhere to be found. Melania's absence has been explained by her office, but it still doesn't answer all the questions surrounding the c...

Donald Trump's 2024 doesn't appear to be off to the greatest of starts, as he spent New Year's Day spreading baseless conspiracy theories on social media. Trump is trying to convince the world that there is some type of missing (deleted) evidence from the January 6th Committee that somehow exonerates him, but a conspiracy of this magnitude would require across the board government p...

In the middle of the night several evenings ago, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and delivered an insane screed that contained a new conspiracy theory, and then he attacked Mitch McConnell for not believing this new conspiracy. Trump claimed that Democrats want open borders so that they can get illegal immigrants to vote, even though there's literally no evidence to back this up. Also, forme...

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is still reeling from the aftermath of her comments about the Civil War where she claimed everything but slavery was the cause. Now she's facing serious backlash from Republicans of color who say that her campaign is "toast" because of her glaring omission. This couldn't come at a worse time for Haley, as she was finally within stri...

Lauren Boebert announced this week that she is switching Congressional districts and will no longer be running for reelection in Colorado's 3rd district, opting instead to run for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Ken Buck in Colorado's much more conservative 4th district. Boebert will likely still have a heck of a primary fight ahead of her, but if she survives that, she won...

A new poll from The Daily Mail asked voters what words come to mind when they hear the names Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Trump posted his own results on his Truth Social platform this week, and the biggest words - those most frequently used to describe him - were "revenge," "dictator," "power," and "dictatorship." In spite of the negative connotation of thos...

 Donald Trump put his mental instability on full display for the world to see on Christmas Day when he posted a message on Truth Social telling all kinds of people that he despises to "rot in hell." The message even included an attack on people who drive electric cars, though it isn't quite clear why they were specifically targeted. If any other candidate for public office posted a...

The judge that oversaw Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial has now ordered the former Mayor of New York to immediately pay the $148 million verdict that he received last week. The judge cited Giuliani's previous failures to satisfy his financial obligations in the case as the reason for the new demand, but Giuliani may not have the cash on hand to satisfy this request. Farron explains what...

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled this week that Donald Trump is barred from being on the ballot in the state because he engaged in an insurrection against the federal government. The case will head to the US Supreme Court soon, but the damage might already be done. Thanks to the ruling from the Court in Colorado, it is now "official" that Trump engaged in an insurrection, and that fact c...

Donald Trump went completely bonkers on Truth Social after Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that one of Trump's star witnesses at the fraud trial had "lost all credibility." Trump attacked the judge for being "stupid" and claimed that the judge didn't understand how trials work - a claim that surely won't work out well for him when the final verdict is handed down next...

Trump lawyer Alina Habba took the stage at a Turning Point conference this past weekend to remind the crowd that she isn't very good at her job. During a truly bizarre rant, Habba brought up the fact that her and Donald Trump were sanctioned $1 million for filing a frivolous lawsuit against Democrats that was tossed out of court, and then said that the media won't tell you that story. Do...

A classified document outlining Russian election interference has gone missing - and it hasn't been seen since Trump was in the White House. This is almost a little too on the nose, and it would make perfect sense for Trump to want this document to never see the light of day again. There are no accusations yet that Trump took it, but it certainly sounds like something he would do. Also, Repub...

The Arizona state Supreme Court has given the go-ahead for the state Bar Association to conduct disciplinary hearings against the team of lawyers that brought Kari Lake's bogus election claims to court. The lawyers could face sanctions, at a minimum, or possibly lose their law licenses in the state completely, depending on how the hearings play out. The only problem is that Lake is getting of...

 Donald Trump has launched a new grift just in time for the holiday shopping season. If you've got $5,000 to burn, you can purchase all 47 of Trump's "digital trading cards" - and by purchasing all of them, you'll also get a "real" piece of the suit that he wore for his Georgia mugshot. There is nothing that this man won't attempt to monetize, and his base w...

In a filing on Monday evening, special prosecutor Jack Smith revealed that he will be calling an expert witness to explain the data from Donald Trump's cell phone both before and during the Capitol Riot. This will include data obtained from his Twitter account that was successfully retrieved earlier this year. This is a giant revelation, and it is proof that Smith has even more evidence than...

Donald Trump appeared to suffer the biggest meltdown that he has ever had when he made the all-caps announcement on Sunday evening that he would NOT be testifying in the fraud trial Monday (yesterday.) Trump claimed that he already had his "Perry Mason moment," and that there was no need to go back, especially since the gag order was still in place (which makes no sense.) Trump is losing...

Members of the Republican Party are finally starting to panic as they realize that there is virtually nothing they can do to stop Donald Trump from becoming their nominee in 2024. They are now scrambling to come up with scenarios where Trump could lose next year's primary, but the only thing that could blunt that would be a criminal conviction - and by the time the first criminal trial ends,...

Eric Trump was scheduled to give testimony in the New York fraud trial this week (this time for the defense), but he abruptly canceled his appearance. Later on, his father boasted on social media saying that HE is the one who told his son not to appear because he had already been through too much. In reality, Trump probably realized that his dimwit son wouldn't be doing them any favors on the...

In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump demanded that Judge Arthur Engoron be removed from the bench for not being accommodating enough for him. Trump was trying to get his own testimony delayed so that he could appeal the gag order against him, but Engoron refused to alter the trial schedule, leading to Trump's temper tantrum. Also, during an interview this week, Donald Trump allies Steve Ba...

Donald Trump's lawyers tried to get an expedited hearing so that they could fight the reinstated gag order at the New York state Supreme Court, but the lawyers made several blunders that prevented this from happening. To start with, the judge let them know that they actually waited too long to file the motion since the appellate court ruled on it three days ago (5 if you count the weekend.) T...

A former member of Donald Trump's administration says that she was "stunned" by his very obvious and serious mental decline, which was on full display over the weekend. During rallies on Saturday, Trump not only claimed that he could have won blue states like California if it weren't for election interference, but he also suggested that he could win blue states in 2024 if Jesus...

Shortly before Ron DeSantis took the stage last Thursday to be publicly humiliated by California governor Gavin Newsome, Donald Trump's campaign team got on social media and launched a brutal new attack against the Florida governor that could end up ruining his entire political career. Trump's team called DeSantis an "OnlyFans wannabe model" and then said that he was "thir...

Lauren Boebert's campaign sent out a desperate plea to donors this week, begging them to send her money so that she can get reelected next year. But the interesting part is that she didn't say she wanted to win because she still had work to do - instead she told supporters that her seat could be the one that gives Democrats control. It is all about tribal politics and no longer about pol...

The chairman of the Florida Republican Party, Christian Ziegler, is being investigated by police over allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman that he was allegedly having a menage a trois with (along with his wife, who happens to be a co-founder of Moms for Liberty.) Ziegler denies all the allegations, and his lawyer says that he will be fully exonerated, but the police report seems pretty...

Donald Trump has been caught moving money around his bank accounts, even though he was expressly forbidden from doing so without alerting a court-appointed financial monitor. The financial monitor brought this to the court's attention this week, saying that Trump has apparently been moving money around to pay for tax bills and lawsuits without giving the legally-required notice.  Also, during...
