Haven’t you heard? Irony is dead, hypocrisy reigns, and no one in a position to do something about it seems to care.

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate.

Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain?

And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?

I wake up, expecting a peaceful moment with my coffee, turn on the news and I’m looking at the Orange Fallon ranting, embarrassing us again, this time in front of the Israeli Parliament.

JD Vance is the worst. Luckily, he’s also dumb as a rock and has the charisma of that rock.

I, too, would like to interview JD Vance, primarily to tell him I’m done with him.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Simple question: Did Homan keep the $50 grand?

This is a terrific round-up of JD Vance's terrible, no good Sunday Show spin today from @rollingstone.com:

"J.D. Vance struggled to defend the Trump administration’s decisions when journalists asked him basic questions during a round of TV appearances"

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 makes it ILLEGAL for employers to knowingly hire, recruit or refer illegal immigrants for employment.

Maga republican conservative employers have and are knowingly hiring, recruiting or referring illegal immigrants for employment.

If course he did. He sat in front of his quack SecHHS Kennedy and promoted vaccines while the heroin addict with a brain worm wrongly tied autism to circumcision. Trump knows Project Warp Speed was the only good right thing he ever did in his life.

Why does “Meet the Press” keep having Lindsey Graham on? He’s there nearly every week to spout his despicable lies and pro-Trump sycophantic baloney. Once he was a respectable, knowledgeable, trustworthy friend of Joe Biden, and a protégé of John McCain, who must be rolling in his grave.

Double talking Trump praises his nutcase anti-vax Kennedy with his newest harmful anti-science pronouncements… in the same meeting where Trump promotes vaccines and goes to get his own shots. Just more evidence of our incompetent and chaotic Trump pretend government.

If the Gaza peace deal holds, Trump deserves credit, and we should learn from this. Only an inexperienced, unpredictable, psychologically unhinged, untethered to any religion or ethics buffoon could bring mideastern fighters to heel.

Pam Bondi, “attorney general” works for US. She disgracefully, unprofessionally and unethically worked for Donald Trump yesterday, rudely and dishonestly attacking Democrats without answering any of the questions about the corruption and criminal activity in his administration.

I’m old enough to remember having presidents that could’ve answered whether he’d consider a pardon for a horrific CONVICTED sexual abuser of young girls and women in one second: with a big, fat NO.

How sick that the one who can pardon her IS A CO-SEXUAL ABUSER IN THE CASE and is OUR PRESIDENT.
