The International Criminal Court on Friday announced that Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan will be on leave while an investigation into accusations of sexual assault against a former female aide is conducted, the Wall Street Journal reports on what will no doubt do wonders for Israeli and Russia propaganda operations as their respective dictators Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin face arrest warrants for crimes against humanity authored by Khan himself.

“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, apparently believing that the conclusion of Swift’s 21-month worldwide tour that sold out all 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents – grossing as much as $2 billion – and what’s probably her taking a break to work on a new album means she’s no longer “HOT” since he posted his hatred of her for endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

Well you can’t prove he didn’t make a dent in her popularity, so the post checks out.

“THE SUPREME COURT IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTRY!” the fat bastard later screamed in a subsequent post. Yeah nobody else thinks Thursday’s arguments went that well for his batshit insane attempt to abrogate the 14th Amendment did either so at least he recognizes it.

Friday’s a big day for the MAGA GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” – and that’s actually the official name now, as the current draft literally says “This Act may be cited as the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act,'” and whether it can get out of the House Budget Committee is a serious question.

What’s interesting here is that the page for the committee says “This hearing will not be webcast” and the above stream is billed as a “press conference” on its YouTube description, yet moron Chairbilly Jodey Arrington just gaveled in for what’ll probably be a long day.

The leader of Portugal’s far right Chega Party was seen grabbing his chest and trying to undo his tie before collapsing into the arms of his minions who carried him away during an outdoor rally on Thursday, the second time in a week the asshole had publicly suffered from severe medical distress in full public view just before Sunday’s big national Assembly elections, Reuters reports.

“Everything is well with his heart,” said Chega lawmaker Marta Silva of her party’s dear leader, 42 year-old Andre Ventura, with Silva insisting it was some kind of “esaphogeal spasm” caused by acid reflux. Even if that’s true, it appears that sudden doubts over Ventura’s health would simply make a bad situation for his nationalist anti-immigrant party worse, as polling finds they’re in third at 18 percent support. Per Reuters, Chega’s stuck in the same spot they were last year as the party’s once-serious momentum has stalled due to a series of scandals involving senior members.

Sucks for Portuguese white nationalists, getting stuck with a leader who can’t handle the stress and pressure that comes with every election season. They should come up with some conspiracy theories about poisoning and directed energy weapons to cope with the impending disaster.

Donors to the US’s sestercentennial celebration committee, “America250” will be given special VIP access to convicted felon President Trump’s $45 million+ birthday celebration military parade in DC next month, as well as other major military events, the Wall Street Journal reports on more shitty slush funding from the “most transparent administration in American history” or whatever the line is.

“We see no reason why these individuals’ names should still be protected, and we demand that you publicly release the entirety of the Epstein files no later than May 16, 2025. There must be absolutely no redactions other than those necessary to protect the personally identifiable information of the survivors,” says a letter sent last week from MAGA House members Anna Paulina Luna, Eli Crane, Tim Burchett, and Eric Burlison to Pam Bondi, demanding what seems to be the impossible.

It’s not clear if they’re going to impeach her when she doesn’t comply, but it’d be smart for some Democrat to maybe introduce articles specifically on this matter just to throw gas on the fire.

The last words of Glenn Edward Rogers, aka “the Casanova Killer,” before he was put to death via lethal injection in a Florida prison Thursday were “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go,” USA Today reports on the bizarre final invocation of the psychopath who murdered five women in five different states but claimed upwards of 70. He also claimed to have killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman but, you know, that kind of throws the other claims into doubt.

“What the hell?” said execution witness Amy Roberson of her reaction to Rogers’ final words just before watching the murderer of her husband Randy Roberson’s mother. “I was like, ‘Where did that even come from?'” agreed Randy, whose mom, Andy Lou Jiles Sutton was found stabbed to death in Louisiana in November 1995, apparently Rogers’ final victim before he was arrested days later.

So yeah, it would seem the “ironic” joke – if that was even the point – kind of fell flat with the crowd.

We are aware of the recent tweet by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.

“On May 9, 2025, deputies with Constable Mark Herman’s Office responded to the Dollar Tree located in the 100 block of East Louetta Road in reference to a road rage incident.”

“Upon arriving, the suspect involved was detained and identified as Arturo Villarreal. It was discovered that he had his one and 17 year old granddaughters in the vehicle with him. Further investigation revealed the complainant threw a burrito at the suspect’s vehicle after they exchanged words and followed the suspect through the parking lot. The suspect then turned his vehicle around and intentionally rammed his vehicle into the complainant’s vehicle, causing major damages. Arturo Villarreal was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. His bond was set at $7,500.00 out of the 179th District Court” – says a Facebook post from Harris County, Texas District 4 Constable Mark Herman’s office.

An anonymous House Republican left this afternoon’s big super-important caucus meeting ahead of Friday’s big super-important Budget Committee vote on the “Big Beautiful Bill” and texted Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman to tell him simply “We’re cooked. Speaker let this get out of control.”

Which kind of tracks with a Politico story that says Johnson can only afford to lose two Republican votes on the committee. Three assclowns – Ralph Norman, Josh Breechen, and Chip “Colonel Sanders” Roy – are already saying no, but as of this printing the committee vote is still on.

Once again, again: If anyone can fuck something like this up it would be House Republicans BUT still operate under the assumption they will get something done, even as impossible and messy as it seems and as incompetent and fractured as they are. There’s still Trump there to threaten to support MAGA primary challenges against them and find other ways to make their lives miserable.

Maybe the question is whether there are too many of them who won’t play along for the fat bastard to crush. He’s kind of busy accepting bribes, pretending to lead the nation, and posting stupid shit online so he might just stop caring and give up if he thinks it’s too much work to whip all of them.

We are moving Jesus out of the basement at the Merchant Marine Academy!

Heels-wearing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed a bill increasing tooth decay in a state where it’s already doing pretty well, banning “certain minerals” from being added to public drinking water – meaning fluoride – on the advice of his quack surgeon general, NBC News reports

“You’ve had this debate, and really Florida’s led on this, too, partially because our Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo, has really led the charge by going to counties and saying forcing fluoride into your water is actually not good,” DeSantis told reporters. “Yes, use fluoride for your teeth, that’s fine. But forcing it in the water supply is basically forced medication on people. They don’t have a choice.”

DeSantis also signed that batshit stupid anti-chemtrails/weather control bill into law.

UnitedHeath Group hasn’t bought enough $TRUMP shitcoin, or maybe not any at all, is the only reasonable conclusion one can draw from a Wall Street Journal article about how the company is under federal criminal investigation for some sort of “Medicare Advantage” scam.

Or they haven’t offered the fat bastard a luxury 747 jumbo jet. That’s a reasonable conclusion too.

MAGA Congressman Andy Barr was not having any of your libtarded “reality” shit on Thursday, telling CNN’s John Berman that magically Walmart will lower prices “in the long run” because something something convicted felon President Trump is a master negotiator and dealmaker.

Former Acting DC US Attorney-turned-some-made-up-Justice Department-job-that-Trump-gave-him-after-replacing-him-with-Judge-Box-O-Wine Ed Martin told staffers in a goodbye email sent Thursday that he’s under investigation by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel for something but didn’t say what it was, the Washington Post reports. Hopefully the son of a bitch gets disbarred.

Writing yet another one of his ridiculous document demand letters, spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan this time harasses Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla with some shit about them withholding news that their COVID vax tests were successful claiming that British pharma company GSK wrote the following: “November 2024, shortly after the election, [former Pfizer exec Dr Phil] Dormitzer approached a representative from the GSK human resources team to speak about a potential relocation abroad. As the HR representative recalls, in their meeting, Dr Dormitzer was visibly upset; he requested that he be relocated to Canada due to concerns that he could be investigated by the incoming Trump Administration over his role in developing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. According to the human resources representative, when asked what prompted his request, Dr Dormitzer made a comment to the effect of: ‘Let’s just say it wasn’t a coincidence, the timing of the vaccine.'”

Jim continues with “GSK further informed the Committee that Dr Dormitzer had told GSK employees that ‘in late 2020, the three most senior people in Pfizer R&D were involved in a decision to deliberately slow down clinical testing so that it would not be complete prior to the results of the presidential election that year.’6 GSK alleged that ‘Dr Dormitzer was clear that this was not a situation of delaying disclosure of completed results but was a situation of slowing down results before disclosure became necessary.’ This new information appears to suggest that Dr Dormitzer and other senior Pfizer executives conspired to withhold public health information to influence the 2020 presidential election,” before demanding a shit ton of documents and emails, etc.

Nice how he’s having it both ways, that the Biden Administration was violating the First Amendment by “cracking down on vaccine misinformation” but Pfizer supposedly waiting a few extra days in November 2020 to announce that the trials were successful was election interference.

Linking to a story by Providence, Rhode Island NBC affiliate WJAR headlined “Human remains found in Westerly,” Fox News added some of their signature creamy, sugary, cholesterol-laden industrial-lard byproduct frosting to the recipe called for in the original article Thursday, titling it “Human remains found near Taylor Swift’s beachside Rhode Island mansion amid serial killer fears.”

“Taylor Swift? SERIAL KILLER? Oh fuck yeah, I’m reading this!” Google’s algorithm may or may not have said as soon as it crawled the headline. “Pffft, fuck that boring-ass WJAR article. LMAO the cops said ‘No foul play is suspected’ in the original article and then Fox News leaves that out, lol.”

“OMG there’s definitely some amateur ‘sleuth’ podcaster out there with like 35 listeners who just added a little pin to their map of New England as they ‘piece together all the clues’ in their hunt for the serial killer just because they saw this Fox News headline,” the algorithm added, probably.

MAGA Afrikaner fake refugee Charl Kleinhaus, first identified by Twitter users including @incontroZA and @BiancavanWyk16 before he went big in his new home in a Wednesday Bulwark report as having tweeted shit like “Jews are untrustworthy and a dangerous group they are not Gods chosen like to believe they are” and a whole bunch of MAGA memes, now tells the New York Times he comes “from Jewish descendants, and I have huge respect for them” and thus isn’t antisemitic.

Oh and he was on meds for a kidney stone at the time so he wasn’t using his best judgment. The Times notes that “last month, before Mr Kleinhaus’s arrival in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security said it would begin screening foreigners’ social media for antisemitic content as potential ‘grounds for denying immigration benefit requests,'” compounding the fucking tornado of hypocrisy of the Afrikaner “refugee” program amid a halt of brown refugees inflows from elsewhere.

And yeah, this is why the Trump regime told the Afrikaners not to talk to the media as they left.

The Supreme Court will on Thursday hear convicted felon President Trump’s solicitor dickhead John Sauer croak his way through arguments that are seen as actually primarily about whether or not lone judges can make rulings that effect nationwide injunctions.
