One funny detail left out of the above report of Trump losing his shit in front of all 50 of the nation’s governors – a breakfast he left early because he was so mad – was that the fat fuck rambled that he was “going to have to do something about these courts,” also per CNN.

A new national Yahoo News/YouGov survey finds Republicans with a sizable 34 to 25 percent lead over Dems among overall respondents on the question of “Who do you think is more likely to try to rig November’s midterm elections?” with another 17 percent unsure which party would rig it. The remaining 23 percent had said either no or not sure to the previous question of whether the midterms would be rigged. On that question, at 35 percent each, more Dem and Independent respondents than Republicans, 27 percent, expect fuckery before, during, or after the big day.

Also matched down in the crosstabs was the 63 percent of Dem respondents who think Republicans are more likely to try to rig the elections and the same percentage of self-identified “MAGA Supporters” who think Democrats will attempt it. Twice as many Republican respondents, 12 percent, think their own party will rig the contests, than Dem respondents said the same. Shame that YouGov didn’t drill down further and ask those partisans whether they actually wanted their respective parties to cheat, even though you can probably already guess who wants it more.

It wasn’t caught on camera because convicted felon President Trump kicked reporters out of the room where he’s hosting the nation’s governors for the annual breakfast meeting, but someone leaked to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the fat bastard learned of his defeat at Los Supremos while speaking and called the ruling a “disgrace,” and per Collins, told the govs he has a “backup plan.”

Problem is that the majority appear to have anticipated Donald trying to find some kind of workaround with a different statute, writing “There is no exception to the major questions doctrine for emergency statutes. Nor does the fact that tariffs implicate foreign affairs render the doctrine inapplicable. The Framers gave ‘Congress alone’ the power to impose tariffs during peacetime. And the foreign affairs implications of tariffs do not make it any more likely that Congress would relinquish its tariff power through vague language, or without careful limits. Accordingly, the President must ‘point to clear congressional authorization’ to justify,” mooting any such backup.

SCOTUS’s outrageous ruling handcuffs our fight against unfair trade that has devastated American workers for decades. These tariffs protected jobs, revived manufacturing, and forced cheaters like China to pay up. Now globalists win, factories investments may reverse, and American…

Continued after the cutoff: “Now globalists [Jews] win, factories investments may reverse, and American workers lose again. This betrayal must be reversed and Republicans must get to work immediately on a reconciliation bill to codify the tariffs that had made our country the hottest country on earth!” and Jesus Christ what an impulsive and intemperate fucking manchild, lol.

In what freaking universe are Republicans going to want to put their names on restoring a regressive tax on American consumers that hung over them like a political albatross for nearly a year? How incompetent of a politician can one be to throw a tantrum over the end of an unpopular policy in what was already going to be a bad election year and also propose restoring it without a second thought to actually counting the votes which it would not ever have to pass? Holy shit, Moreno could actually be a worse look for Ohio voters than the guy caught sniffing his daughter or niece’s panties.

The US Supreme Court on Friday dropped the widely-expected ruling finding 6 to 3 that convicted felon President Trump’s moronic tariff regime against the Heard and McDonald Islands – not to mention pretty much every other nation and territory on the planet – was illegally implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act or IEEPA. Far-right Justices Clarence Thomas, Seditious Sam Alito, and Beer-me Brett Kavanaugh dissented because they ❤️ Donald.

“IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The judgment in No 24–1287 is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction; the judgment in No 25–250 is affirmed,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in the majority opinion that might sting a little.

“The ‘Pay Back’ Numbers being quoted by the Radical Left Lunatics, who would love to see us lose on Tariffs because of how bad it would be for our Country, are much higher than those being stated by our Fake Opposition – Opposition mainly from Foreign Countries that would do anything to be allowed to charge us Tariffs without retribution. The actual Number we would have to pay back in Tariff Revenue and Investments would be in excess of $2 Trillion Dollars, and that, in itself, would be a National Security catastrophe. Those opposed to us in the United States Supreme Court are giving low Numbers so that the Court will think it is easy to get out of this terrible situation that these Anarchists and Thugs have put us into!” screamed Trump in November in just one of the very many Truth Social screeds anticipating the defeat and the expected mess of clawbacks from companies.

The House Ethics Committee late last year quietly opened an investigation into Republican Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales over his affair with staffer Regina Ann Santos-Aviles after her September 14th suicide at her home in Uvalde, Punchbowl News reports on more bad news for Tony as that gun psycho Brandon Herrera nips at his heels with just 11 days to go before the primary.

“Wesley Dingus, the mayor of Butler, Ohio, was arraigned on Thursday after he allegedly sniffed the underwear of a teenage girl, who, according to a police report, is a ‘minor relative’ in the care of Dingus,” wrote Mediaite in a Thursday night article headlined “Mayor Wesley Dingus Charged After Allegedly Sniffing Teen Relative’s Underwear” that goes on for 237 words but not a single one of them “Republican,” the dingus’s affiliation. No “GOP,” “MAGA,” or “conservative” either.

It was on the site’s Disqus commenters to point out the VERY readily available information on the small central Buckeye State town mayor’s political party and yes, this is partially National Zero’s butthurt over the much more-trafficked outlet having gotten first to a story on this site’s beat.

Still, what the fuck? Sure, it wasn’t in the article they linked from local site RichlandSource.com and not everyone’s emotionally polluted enough to know by heart which states have readily searchable public voter records on party registration, but simply googling “Wesley Dingus party affiliation” will get you “Wesley Dingus is a Republican. He serves as the mayor of the village of Butler, Ohio, in Richland County, and won re-election to the position in November 2023” in the “AI overview” at the very top of the result page. You don’t even need to click on any of the sites returning it. Which leaves really only two options: (A) Laziness, which is possible, or (B) Mediaite was afraid of offending the MAGA trolls by accurately reporting that the fucking freak who would sniff a “minor relative” teenage girl’s panties is an elected official from their party. Either way, you’d think that a site that covers, you know, media might be able to anticipate how their audience would react to the omission of certain information. Quite a milestone on the long trail of suckery on their own terms.

“Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 (October, November, and December), according to the advance estimate released today by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 4.4 percent. The contributors to the increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter were increases in consumer spending and investment. These movements were partly offset by decreases in government spending and exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased,” says Friday’s “GDP (Advance Estimate), 4th Quarter and Year 2025 report” by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Economists had expected 2.5 percent, per CNBC, so yeah it definitely crushed expectations. Guess that explains why fat tits was trying to get in front of it by blaming Dems and Jerome Powell.

…not to mention the preemptive excuse for weak GDP numbers, data expected shortly.

Despite there being no actual evidence it’s happening yet, Republicans in South Dakota are worried that their dog-murdering former at-large congresswoman, governor, and current US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem could within the next month abruptly launch a primary bid against sitting US Senator Mike Rounds – who is running for a third term – with these Mount Rushmore State Republicans telling the Atlantic that it would give her the staff and fundraising platform to insulate from an expected onslaught of House Dem oversight – and preempt the risk of Trump firing her.

Scumbag former-and-current Montana MAGA Congressman Ryan Zinke did something similar-ish back during Trump’s first failed administration, quitting his post as Secretary of the Interior in December 2018 just days before Dems retook the House gavels – though he didn’t actually run to return to his old seat until 2020. The House option is actually more readily accessible for Noem as current at-large South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson is running for governor.

A court in Tunisia on Thursday sentenced MP Ahmed Saidani to eight months in ‌prison over a Facebook post mocking President Kais Saied as the “supreme commander of sewage and rainwater drainage” who has had no real accomplishments in office, Reuters reports on Brendan Carr, Stephen Miller, Ron DeSantis, and convicted felon President Trump’s dream governing situation.

“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, sure seeming like there won’t be a long process of redacting his name from all the reports that he went into Area 51 and sexually molested the captive aliens there. Guess all those files have been properly disposed of and Trump will get away with the vile predations.

Lol. More seriously, that’s an interesting choices of words there, treating “Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life” as if the subject matter were as undisputed as the fact that President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. There’s no lingering controversy over whether JFK was shot dead, it’s the before, during, and after that are still questioned, hence the still widespread interest in seeing those particular files declassified and accessible to the public.

The whether of aliens is not exactly settled. Most likely Donald’s just drugged up and senile per usual but you never know with this fat crazy bastard who needs to be abducted and never returned.

Nancy Guthrie is still missing and yet FBI Director K$H Patel jetted to Milan on the taxpayers’ dime to go watch the USA men’s ice hockey squad take on Slovakia on Friday, MS Now reports.

“The Commission of Fine Arts just approved, unanimously, 6 to 0, with one recusal because he had a conflict in that he worked professionally on the job, the White House Ballroom. Great accolades were paid to the building’s beauty and scale. Thank you to the members of the Commission!” posted the Great Leader on Thursday, celebrating the approval for his glowing vision of a palatial monument to his glory. How humbling it must be to have been to have gained his favor and chosen for the Great Leader’s High Cultural Commission. His wisdom in the selection of the commission members showed unmatched prescience that they would approve of his vision! Praise be to the Great Leader.

May your day be blessed by his light and filled with thoughts of patriotic gratitude for his rule.

The US Supreme Court on Thursday rescheduled their planned Friday closed-door conference on convicted felon President Trump’s petition for them to overturn the nearly $90 million in judgments he still owes rape victim EJ Carroll, Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports, adding “No reason given.”

It’s not a great sign for the department store predator-in-chief as, per SCOTUSblog, rescheduled petitions “overwhelmingly wind up being denied, sometimes with a justice writing an opinion respecting denial,” though just one such delay probably doesn’t definitely mean a denial.

Oh shut up! You’re trying to get us defeated in the midterms! Just go talk to them! Don’t need you black pilling on social media! I’m sure Pam will talk with you! You’re grandstanding here!!

At the risk of becoming like BuzzFeed, Raw Story, and Mediaite by treating a thrice-upvoted reply as “newsworthy” this tiny anecdote of seemingly panicked enervation – even if it’s not entirely clear what the asshole is trying to say – is something, ain’t it? Aren’t the fanboys supposed to be pretty confident that their party has thus far escaped any serious damage from Epstein?

A new survey of Tennessee GOP primary voters by the Tennessee Firefly finds complete dimwit “life coach” Senator Marsha Blackburn leading Congressman John “Groomer” Rose 60.6 to 8.1 percent in the Volunteer State’s Republican gubernatorial primary race. It’s an embarrassing delta all the more insulting to Rose because he had launched his bid last February and Blackburn all but said “Nice campaign you got there. Would be a shame if another Republican with much higher statewide name ID jumped in five months later and completely fucked you over,” and did just that last August.

Missed it earlier this month but this is friggin insane: So desperate is Rose that a few weeks ago CNN reported he held out on his yes vote to fund the government for an assurance that convicted felon President Trump would stay neutral in the primary. Jesus Dork Mike Johnson told the network that “no promises” were made to Rose but it’s not clear whether Johnson was denying there’d been any quid pro quo whatsoever or if he was acknowledging there was but Rose did not get a solid commitment to a nondorsement. Guess he was too chickenshit to simply ask for the endorsement outright like he should’ve done the minute he launched his all-but-doomed bid nearly a year ago.
