Abrams Counters Trump With a Compelling Vision for America

A clear alternative to the prevailing nihilism followed the president’s State of the Union address. What did we expect from the 2019 Trump State of the Union? This annual ritual of a president coming into The People’s House to deliver a national health check-up has become political theater. Presidents use the stage to make a case for their policies in the year to come. The script for many years has been a list of carefully market-tested proposals. Tuesday night’s address was different. For one, this was Donald Trump, making what is probably his last best effort to save his border wall from legislative doom. He wasn’t going to pivot to centrism the way any other president might in order to set up a re-election run. He also wasn’t likely to stick to a script, even as he visi...

US president takes personal jab at basketball star LeBron James, drawing criticism online. James at last week's opening ceremony for the I Promise School in Akron [Phil Long/AP] Donald Trump has sparked uproar online after taking aim at basketball superstar LeBron James, with many social media users calling the US president "racist" and a "bully". In a tweet late on Friday, Trump questioned the intelligence of the three-time NBA champion, following an interview on CNN with host Don Lemon, in which James criticised the Republican president for "dividing the sport".

Stormy Daniels Just Released A Statement That Will Send Chills Down Trump’s Spine

Boy, it’s not even Sunday night yet and I can already feel that 60 Minutes interview with Stormy Daniels breaking ratings records for the show’s long, if previously somewhat stuffy, history. When I was a kid, I dreaded that tick-tick-tick intro because it meant more boring garbage about Reagan or Ed Meese or Oliver North. And of course, Morley Safer, who was brilliant if he was doing Jackie Gleason, but insufferable when he tried to dissect the art world.  Now that I’m grown up, I can’t help but wonder when America got “locked in” to a future in which we all would dread eventually seeing a picture or, heaven forfend, a video of the President of the United States’ penis. That future may come in scant hours, and it may come courtesy of 60 Minutes not with his journalistic progenitor Morley...

Fox News Host And Trump Nominee Goes Ape Sh*t And Screams At 9-Year Old Little Girl On Air

On Sunday, Fox News Host Pete Hegseth, who’s currently under consideration for a cabinet position in Donald Trump‘s administration overseeing the Veterans Affairs Department, started screaming at a 9-year-old girl wishing for an end to gun violence. Ever since the tragic events of Valentine’s Day, in which a young terrorist with an AR-15 assault rifle murdered 17 of their peers and faculty in cold blood, the teens of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Parkland, Florida have led the fight for gun control reform, recently organizing the million-plus “March For Our Lives” protests which took place around the globe. However, NRA-loyal Republicans like Hegseth have grown increasingly frustrated and belligerent toward these kids for daring to challenge their beloved sociopathic capitalist...

Stormy Daniels sues Trump, says hush agreement is null because he didn’t sign it

Stormy Daniels, the porn star who says she was paid to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, sued the president Tuesday, asking the court to declare that her nondisclosure agreement before the 2016 election is void because Trump did not sign it. In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Daniels - whose real name is Stephanie Clifford - said she had wanted to go public with the story of her alleged decade-old affair with Trump in the weeks leading up to the election. The lawsuit was first reported by NBC News. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, and Daniels’ attorney at the time, Keith Davidson, negotiated what the lawsuit calls a “hush agreement” in which she would be paid $130,000. After delays and even a cancellation of the contract by Daniels on Oct. 17, the pay...

South African government wants to know why Trump thinks its people are ‘undesirable’ immigrants

South Africa is among a growing number of countries taking action against President Donald Trump’s remarks last week that Haiti, El Salvador and African nations are “s---hole countries” whose inhabitants are not desirable for U.S. immigration. South Africa’s government called for a meeting Monday with acting U.S. Ambassador Jessye Lapenn in Pretoria as part of a diplomatic protest of Trump’s “disturbing” comments, the Department of International Relations said in a statement Sunday. While officials acknowledged Trump’s denial of the exact language used, they said the president’s denial was “categorical, referring only to Haiti and not addressing the entirety of the statement attributed to him.” Trump in a tweet Friday appeared to deny using the term “s---hole” to refer to those countrie...

Trump Effect STRIKES AGAIN: Walmart Shopper Assaults Hispanic Employee With Vile Racist Rant

A customer at a Wal-Mart in Irving, Texas, saw fit to casually share his racist views about Hispanic people (who he referred to as “foreigners”) with a female Hispanic employee trying to help him. The employee, an immigrant from El Salvador who became a U.S. Citizen 20 years ago, felt it necessary to take her phone and record a racist tirade from a white male customer being directed at her and an African-American customer. In the video, the man can be heard telling the employee that people like her need to “go to your own countries” and fix their problems there. “It has hurt me a lot because we are working people. We pay our taxes. We have children who study in college,” said Adela, who spoke on the condition that only her first name be used because she is concerned for her well-being. Ad...
