Kremlov’s bounty comes amid the president’s continued fawning appeasement of Putin and his betrayal of Ukraine. Indeed, it once again raises the question: If Trump were actually a Russian asset, how would he behave any differently than what he is doing now? charliesykes.substack.com/p/don-jrs-de...

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.

It's so nonsensical for Trump to say, in effect, "Our election system is so rigged that I got elected twice even though the people I'm accusing of rigging elections were desperate to keep me out of the White House. And it's so rigged that my party won both branches of Congress."
Trump post: "America's elections are rigged, Stolen, and a Laughingstock all over the World. We are either going to fix them, or we won't have a Country any longer!  I am asking all Republicans to fight for the following: SAVE AMERICA ACT!"

Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.
The soulless, sociopathic orange cunt stands in his suit looking bored and devoid of intelligent thought whilst an Oval Office guest is collapsed on the ground behind him. Fellow guests, able to demonstrate more compassion than the pedo protector has ever mustered in his entire miserable existence, are helping the collapsed man. The photo captures the insipid, disdain Trump holds for any other human being not permanently kissing his fat, wrinkly ass. At least today is one day closer to his death.
