Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

The entire first two months of the Biden administration were taken up by obsessive complaining about how he wouldn't do press conferences & wasn't taking policy questions (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).

This? Gone tomorrow. Totally different set of standards applied to two totally different parties.

What a cry baby. LMAO Pumpkin tits and his scrotum of a VP can dish it out, but can’t take being called out on their horseshit.

My question is why even interview these crooks or asking them questions — to give more oxygen to their lies? Report their lies/crimes — don’t bother with them.

Jonathan Carl and Rachel Scott are 2 of the most respected journalists in that White House pool so to be disparaged by the likes of Trump is laughable.

When you’re surrounded by currency and commodity manipulators like Nutlick and Cantor this is the kind of stupid shit you say.

Great plan. Let Jack Smith testify about all the crimes Trump committed and why he was prosecuted. Apparently Americans have mostly forgotten ... unless they got their "news" from Fox, in which case they likely never even knew any of the details. Public hearings sound good to me.

Even PBS can't be bothered to note that something is a little ODD about giving such an honor to a billionaire-funded social media troll who spent his days tricking dim teens into believing sexism and racism was acceptable

not even a passing, vague reference to him being "controversial"

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

47’s allies are raging over the Oct 18 "No Kings” protests. The unanimity of messaging ("terrorists") means it’s almost certainly coordinated by Stephen Miller. Yet it’s backfiring: Dems & rally organizers are using it to galvanize attendance, which will likely succeed.
