When he finally fails, Republicans are going to try and shower all the Trump off and will immediately blame Joe Biden for the residual smell.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

The mainstream media really should hide their heads in shame knowing that the most reliable and accurate source of political news in the USA comes from comedians.

The United States government is trying to incite civil unrest to use as a pretext to impose martial law.

The only people denying this are representatives of the United States government.

NH Peeps - we've been holding listening sessions across NH. A frequent request was for information on the NH Gov and how you can get your voice heard.

As a result, I've written a guide - Granite Grit - the no bullsh*t guide to New Hampshire Politics (and how you can raise hell the right way).

Trump doesn't have a war with Democrats; he is waging a war on democracy.

Instead, real cash wealth gaps have grown - from £1 million in 2006-08, to £1.3 million by 2020-22.

The size of these wealth gaps really matter because it makes it harder for people to earn their way into becoming wealthy.

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

Watching the British Conservative party desperately flail around trying to recapture all the awful people who made up its base from Reform is the best explanation as to why Republicans caved to Donald Trump.

Both parties know their base.

Pam Bondi would be thrown out of court by any judge...

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

Dear MSM: I challenge you to run this in the split screen next time you are repeating a clip of any Republican who claims Portland is a literal war zone.

In fact, why not do a Fox and run it in the split screen 24x7 while you are reporting on any political topic.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
