This morning Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick previewed Vice President Neckbeard’s speech in the Keystone State by saying that Vance’s economic message to his constituents should be that “the Biden economy was a disaster” and damn Vance is playing that hit hard.

“A recent cybersecurity incident involving Mixpanel, a third-party data analytics provider, has impacted some Pornhub Premium users. Specifically, this situation affects only select Premium users. It is important to note this was not a breach of Pornhub Premium’s systems. Passwords, payment details, and financial information remain secure and were not exposed,” said artistic expression video service PornHub in a blog post Friday after the breach by a hacker crew.

What they kinda sort left out, per Bleeping Computer, is that the data includes all premium users’ registered email addresses and location, activity type – as in which videos and channels they watched, including the video name and web address – and the date and time of their activities.

Huh. Not for nothing but it may be a safe bet that these users would rather just have had their credit card numbers stolen if given the option. Minor hassle compared to their, um, private proclivities.

Alaska State Trooper investigators in Wasilla – aka Palinville – on Monday confirmed that the charred human remains found in the smoldering ruin of local cardiologist state medical board member Dr Ryan McDonough’s home were indeed that of the accused pedophile who was recently released on $50,000 bond after being hit with 10 counts child porno possession, Alaska Public Media reports.

Per Substacker Erin in The Morning, McDonough was appointed to the board by Gov Mike Dunleavy in August and had since only showed up to two meetings, one of which he voted yes on the first step toward banning hormone therapy for trans minors. That agenda’s stalled since McDonough tendered his resignation last month and without him there’s an insufficient quorum to advance it further. Surely they’ll do a better job vetting the next guy to make sure he doesn’t have pornographic images of children – including infants – on his devices so they can get the anti-trans job done.

The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.

“Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team. The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other President has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade. None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!” Wiles continued after the cutoff in the embed.

The Bulwark’s Sam Stein notes this is Wiles’s first tweet since October 31, 2024. That’s a context you may want to regard when evaluating how damage control-y the above screed is.

Leaving the room after a Tuesday House GOP meeting on how to proceed on healthcare policy, “moderate” Republican Congressman Mike Lawler told Punchbowl’s Laura Weiss that he won’t rule out signing onto a Dem discharge petition to force a vote on a “clean” extension of Obamacare subsidies – meaning no poison pills with income limits or abortion restrictions – a move that Weiss writes “would be a BIG escalation from [moderates] but only four more to put it over the top.”

“All options are on the table” said Lawler, adding “I am pissed for the American people. This is absolute bullshit,” rating specifically over leadership’s unwillingness to put the ACA subsidies up for a simple yes-or-no vote rather than playing all these ridiculous games.

What’s Steve Scalise’s appeal anyway? No, appearance is not everything, but one would think it should be at least kind of part of the package when it comes to political marketability, especially when the rest of the package is as pallid, pasty, and vacant as its appearance. Like what the fuck is his secret sauce with the voters of his impoverished, poorly-educated district in Louisiana? Merely being articulate relative to plenty of other Republicans doesn’t mean shit when the message is complete nonsense like that car insurance has the GEICO gecko so health insurance should have that too. Or that Trump is a (allegedly) a teetotaler so it doesn’t make sense to him that Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair that Donald has an “alcoholic’s personality,” as in that of an abusive wetbrain.

What the hell does saying Trump “never stops working” mean when it both was not true and wasn’t the question being asked? Lastly, you would think that MAYBE Steve could come up with something better than “All of it takes time, but we’re working on all of it at the same time right now. I think early next year you’re gonna start seeing bigger indicators. Trillions of investments already coming into the country from deals President Trump has already cut,” when asked when voters can expect some actual movement when it comes to affordability. This dipshit can’t even follow through and start rattling off some loose estimates of what it means for new jobs and economic growth.

“Governor Kathy Hochul holds double-digit leads over both Rep Elise Stefanik (Hochul leads 49-30 percent, with 20 percent undecided) and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (50-25 percent, 21 percent undecided), according to a new Siena Poll of New York State registered voters released today. Voters support, 65-27 percent, universal free childcare for infants through pre-K, paid for by increased taxes on New York taxpayers earning more than $1 million. By a narrower 50-41 percent New York City voters support eliminating bus fares, paid for by increased taxes on City taxpayers earning more than $1 million,” says a new Siena College survey of registered voters in New York.

“New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s 46-31 percent statewide favorability rating is up from 40-40 percent last month, and stands at 61-23 percent in New York City, up from 55-31 percent in November. By a 49-32 percent margin, up from 45-39 percent last month, voters statewide think his election will be good for New York City. And when looking at City voters alone, they say his election is good for the City, 66-25 percent, up from last month’s 57-26,” the bad news for Stef continued.

Not as bad for the insufferable MAGA Congresswoman as the last poll was. Still bad.

Trump White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’s job may or may not be in trouble soon as the New York Times reports that, in the course of 11 interviews with Vanity Fair, she confirmed that Trump is weaponizing federal law enforcement against Democrats (no shit, but you’re not supposed to say it, lol), is lying about whether Bill Clinton ever visited Epstein Island, “has an alcoholic’s personality,” that JD Vance “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade” and only went MAGA to win his 2022 Senate bid, that Elon Musk is “an avowed ketamine” user whose actions were not always “rational” and left her “aghast,” that OMB Director Russ Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot,” and that Attorney General Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” in handling the Epstein files (also no shit, but lol).

This is worse than when Steve Bannon told Michael Wolff that Don Jr meeting with the Russians during the 2016 campaign was “treasonous” and then Trump ordered Breitbart to fire him, right?

Incredible … https://t.co/ipaps6uJpO

FBI agent Steve Friend, one of the douchebag “whistleblowers” suspended for spewing MAGA conspiracy bullshit over the January 6th investigations and subsequently paraded by spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan during the House GOP’s stupid “Weaponization” farce in 2023 and 2024, has been fired permanently after apparently threatening dipshit Director Kash Patel during an interview on another “whistleblower” assclown former agent’s podcast, the New York Post reports.

“You better pray to Gaia or Vishnu or whatever your maker is, that real Steve Friend is never in a position to be an instrument of God’s wrath, because I will be merciful: I won’t give you a trial and a hanging. I’ll allow you to breathe every breath that your body will have for the rest of its natural life inside of a box, and then when it ultimately fades to black, that’s when real wrath begins,” Friend told The Kyle Seraphin Show on December 5th when discussing the arrest of alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole – himself a MAGA asshole – who Friend thinks is a patsy and K$H is in on the cover-up.

The interview came less than two months after Friend had been reinstated to his position on October 10th, following his initial August 2022 suspension for violating the Bureau’s media policy by giving an interview to Kremlin outlet RT. During that stretch Patel had publicly supported Friend and as part of his “Government Gangsters” grift but, per the Post, “was concerned by what he found in personnel files about the real reasons for the ousting under the Biden administration.”

Friend was also late last month fired as a client by Empower.us, the slush fund agency-ish outfit founded by former Chuck Grassley staffer Tristan Leavitt that booked witnesses and coordinated all the insufferable, circlejerky hearings put on by Jordan and James Comer these last two congresses.

Drug-addicted billionaire Elon Musk is, for the moment, back on the GOP’s side and will be funding their campaigns in the 2026 midterms, Axios reports without mentioning the potential downsides of that, namely like his mental instability and godawful public image relative to where it’d been in 2024.

Asked by Huffington Post’s Igor Bobic to comment on convicted felon President Trump’s batshit insane “TDS killed Rob and Michele Reiner” post on Monday, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin said that Trump “was respectful to him, said he was a once a really good actor and all that, and pointed out the fact that he didn’t like him at all… I don’t think it was distasteful at all. The guy does not like Trump and President Trump went out and still ended it in a very nice way.”

Well that’s a new one, right? Instead of the old “I haven’t seen it” to avoid addressing the batshittery, Markwayne mixes it up and just completely tries to gaslight people on the content of it to avoid addressing the batshittery. It’s like he hallucinated a much more logically coherent and grounded version of Trump’s post in which Donald wrote “Reiner was a liberal asshole, but this is a tragedy and my deepest condolences to his family. May he and Michele rest in peace.”

Convicted felon President Trump’s wienery son-in-law Jared Kushner on Monday pulled the plug on the Trump Tower Belgrade project after spending two years working on it, the planned development felled by local protests and the indictment of a local politician, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Some douchebag who does PR for Kushner’s slush fund confirmed in a statement saying “Because meaningful projects should unite rather than divide, and out of respect for the people of Serbia and the City of Belgrade, we are withdrawing our application and stepping aside at this time.”

In lieu of an actual article about the matter, Fox News on Monday reported via tweet that former host and current Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino “will decide about his future at the bureau in the next few weeks,” according to two of Fox’s sources inside the Hoover building.

In what one might call an exemplar of how to exercise care and compassion when writing a law enforcement press release, whoever has that job in the Mason County, Michigan Sheriff’s office prefaced a tragic discovery by writing that the early Sunday search for two men on snowmobiles, earlier reported missing in the Sheridan Township area, first zeroed in on a set of the vehicles’ tracks leading onto the surface of a frozen lake that did not have tracks leading out of it.

“Due to darkness and heavy snow falling a check of the lake from shore could not be performed. At first light, what appeared to be a snowmobile helmet was seen out several hundred yards offshore on the ice. The Mason County Sheriff’s Office launched a drone when weather permitted and spotted a hole in the ice and confirmed a helmet present at the spot of the hole. Rescuers attempted to get to the area, but kept falling through the ice, make rescue efforts impossible,” the release said, making it sound like they really tried to effect a “rescue” after God knows how long.

“The Michigan State Police Dive Services Team and Mason County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team were called to assistand made their way onto the ice. An airboat from the Manistee County Sheriff’s Office was requested to support recovery efforts and did respond to the scene. Once assets were in place to ensure the safety of divers, efforts began to get to the hole in the ice. An MSP diver fell through the ice, but was properly tethered to another diver, and was pulled from the ice unharmed.”

This beautiful young girl was one of the murdered students at Brown University. It takes special courage to lead an organization of conservatives on a left wing campus, and I am very sorry our country has lost one of its bright young stars.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. https://t.co/icGrwJAAlX

Massachusetts man Brian Walshe, aka the “I didn’t kill my wife I just found her dead, panicked, butchered her corpse, and disposed of the parts” guy, was convicted of first-degree murder on Monday, ABC News reports on what had been a novel defense case not quite flying with the jury.

Prior to the trial, the 50 year-old Walshe pleaded guilty to misleading a police investigation and improper conveyance of a human body in an attempt to sell the court on the idea that yes his late wife, 39 year-old Ana Walshe, was in a relationship with another guy and had options for her and the three boys, now aged 4 through 8, that she’d had with Brian while he was heading to federal prison on a fraud charge. Yes, he’d Googled divorce lawyers in the days prior to her disappearance on January 1, 2023. And yes, she was dead that morning. BUT he didn’t do it, he just found her dead in bed, and then proceeded to dismember her corpse in a panic because nobody would believe him that she had suddenly died of natural causes during that particular stretch of time.

So that’s why he pleaded guilty to those counts. Not the murder though. That his team contested in front of the jury and lost, possibly because “Ways to dispose of body parts after murder” was in his search history. We’ll never know if “Ways to dispose of body parts after accidental death” might have given the jury a little less to work with when weighing if the burden of proof had been met.

The saga of former top “Villagers for Trump” official Robert Rivernider Jr is a genuine slice of MAGAmericana and can really only be told in a straight line: In 2013 Rivernider was convicted of a $20 million Ponzi scheme in a Connecticut federal court and sentenced to 12 years in prison but was released due to the COVID pandemic in 2020, promptly moving down to live with his father, Robert Rivernider Sr, in The Villages, Florida. Shortly thereafter, Rivernider Sr caught the ‘Rona and died on October 19, 2020. Then on October 29, the county clerk’s office received Rivernider Sr’s mail-in ballot, signed and dated the 16th, but postmarked on the 23rd. No mystery who the vote was for.

At some point Rivernider got himself a spot on the board of Villagers for Trump and, hilariously, became a coordinator for racist psychopath Laura Loomer’s doomed 2022 primary campaign against the vast corporate retirement community’s Republican Congressman Dan Webster. It wasn’t until 2023 when the Sumter County Clerk’s Office gave his old man’s ballot to the sheriff’s office for investigation, leading to his arrest that September. Rivernider was represented by none other than Anthony Sabatini – then also running a doomed primary against Webster. Sabatini put up no defense and Rivernider was convicted. Being white and MAGA however, he only got 180 days in jail.

It’s not clear how long ago Rivernider completed that 180 day bid, but either way he had been out as of June, when federal law enforcement arrested him on what Villages-News.com reports was a violation of the conditions of his supervised release – for which he was sentenced to three years in the federal joint last week. The article isn’t clear on whether the state-level voter fraud charge was that actual violation or if it was something else. Still one less MAGA on the streets no matter what.
