This stitching of clips is long but it’s worth a watch to appreciate how fucking unhinged House GOP Caucus chair Lisa McClain is with defending convicted felon President Trump’s meltdowns and threatening to have Dem members of Congress executed for that video in which they encouraged military personnel to disobey illegal orders. The “We’re a long way from Nuremberg trials and slaughtering Jews” line from her is particularly insane since it’s basically her saying that Trump hasn’t repeated the Holocaust yet so why is anyone worried at this point. What a freaking animal.

Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano, more of a low hill than a mountain, erupted suddenly on Monday after what French geologists tell AFP was a nearly 12,000 year period of dormancy.

No casualties were reported but the ash cloud drifted over the Red Sea to Yemen and Oman.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime has yet to actually follow through on the fat bastard’s pledge to increase tariffs on Canadian exports by 10 percent after Ontario Premier Doug Ford accurately quoted former President Ronald Reagan in a video opposing the pointless and probably illegal levies, the Independent reports on more TACOing from the Orange God Emperor.

NEW: President Trump says the people fighting against his tariffs are serving “hostile foreign interests”

“Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA. They couldn't care less about us. I look… pic.twitter.com/oZbIP37sQ8

“Foreign interests” are the “dog ate my homework” of shitty, incompetent autocrats who cannot get their act together and impose their will on the people they seek to impose their will upon, so naturally Benny Johnson thinks it’s a winning message from his Orange Caesar.

Republican former North Carolina Gov Pat McCrory tells Politico that he’s worried that convicted felon President Trump’s regime is overplaying their “mandate” in the Tar Heel State with the recent ICE surge in Charlotte and that there could be some consequences for incidents like a US citizen getting arrested in a shopping center parking lot and a raid on a country club house.

“Republicans had the upper hand on immigration, as long as they were going after the criminals and the gangs, but I think they’re losing the upper hand on that issue because of the apparent disjointed implementation of arrest. From a PR and political standpoint, for the first time, immigration is maybe having a negative impact on my party,” McCrory said, adding “if I were the administration, I would be really emphasizing who they’ve arrested and the negative impact they’ve had on the community, but we’re not hearing that.” This as though Homeland Security and ICE don’t constantly publicize and post about the criminal suspects they’ve arrested, so what McCrory’s actually complaining about is the “family-oriented” migrants that keep getting tossed in the gulag, which they won’t stop doing.

Edwin Peacock III, a moderate Republican who lost an at-large Charlotte City Council race to a Dem earlier this month, warned the raids are leaving “a real sour aftertaste” with voters. “Is the price of doing this worth it? I don’t see this cloud moving away from what will be in the voters’ minds.”

You will not be surprised to learn that, according to NBC News, they and indeed all other would-be buyers who put down a $100 deposit to preorder the not-actually-made-in-America $500 Trump Mobile T1 smartphone when it was first announced have yet to receive their reskin of a $169-ish Chinese budget Android model two months after the anticipated street date of September.

NBC writes that during one of their repeated calls to the customer support line in October asking where the goddamned phone was they were told the phone would ship on November 13th. With that date having come and gone, they called again and the support agent said early December.

“The operator cited the government shutdown as a reason for the delay, without further explanation,” says the article and L-O-freaking-L, my kingdom for that person’s internal logic behind that excuse. Was it supposed to be some sort of customs issue or what? Holy shit.

I’ve been to America but thanks for repeating this same tired lie that I’ve “never set foot in America”. Good shit. You’re totally not brainwashed at all. By the way, do you know that I’ve done work for the Daily Wire? Keep ragging on foreigners for being useless subhumans.

Several House Republicans tell Punchbowl News they’re considering following Marjorie Taylor Greene in simply resigning before next year’s midterms, possibly enough to hand Dems the majority before the expected flip following the November elections, with one particularly pissed one writing the following in a text: “This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL.”

“And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all – appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms. More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box.”

“Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out,” the unidentified member continued in the very ragey text.

Following a pitch from Maryland liberal Jamie Raskin last month DNC chiar Ken Martin is seriously considering having a ranked-choice ballot system in the 2028 presidential primary, Axios reports.

Sources in the Trump Regime tell Reuters that DOGE “doesn’t exist” anymore and has officially been disbanded with eight months still left in its mandate. Firing thousands of park rangers, VA nurses, and so on had been framed as a matter of national life and death until it wasn’t.

“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday.

Now the first time the reporter asked convicted felon President Trump if he’d had any comment on his buddy disgraced former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s arrest it was, admittedly, hard to hear over the wash of Marine One’s rotors. Watching on TV with subtitles off you probably would not have made out what the guy was saying. Trump did not and asked the reporter to repeat himself.

There’s no mistaking what the reporter then said, much more clearly. “Do you have any comment about Bolsonaro’s arrest?” he said and then even louder and specifically “The former Brazilian president!” to which Trump started “So I spoke last night to the gentleman you just referred to, and we’re gonna be meeting I believe in the very near future.” The press corps then raised their hackles and the reporter asked “Sir any comment on the former Brazilian president being arrested today?!?”

Trump then realized what he was said, switching to “No I don’t know anything about it. I haven’t heard anything about it. Is that what happened? That’s too bad. No I just think it’s too bad.”

Did Trump somehow get Bolsonaro confused with current Brazilian President Luiz Lula? If he spoke to Lula on Friday to plan an in-person meeting in the future there’s no public reporting on it. In fact there’s no reporting on Trump speaking with ANY foreign leader on that evening. Sure this is “The most transparent administration in history,” but you know sometimes even they slip up and forget to list a record of the president’s calls to foreign leaders. So maybe it was Lula or some other Latin American leader and the White House neglected to put it in the public ledger then Trump got a little more than mildly confused and spoke too fast when a reporter brought up Bolsonaro.

LAPD officials this week announced that Alt-R&B artist David “D4vd” Burke, 20, is being considered a suspect in the death of 14 year-old Celeste Hernandez, a runaway whose body cops discovered in the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke, a few days after it was towed from a spot in the Hollywood Hills where it had been abandoned by Burke on or before July 29th, People Magazine reports.

Hernandez’s remains were, horrifically, not intact and in an advanced state of decomposition when a worker at the impound lot noticed a foul odor emanating from the front trunk of the car belonging to the “Romantic Homicide” artist on September 8th, with it taking until the 17th for the medical examiner to make a positive ID on the teen. People’s reporting on her short life describes her as a troubled youth from Riverside County who ghosted on her family no fewer than three times in recent years, the last being in April 2024. Her family by that point was aware that she’d been dating someone named “David” but had no further contact with her after a brief call the next month.

People cites the Los Angeles Times’s reporting that Burke has a tattoo saying “Shhh…” on his right index finger and that Celeste’s mom had told TMZ her girl had the same on her very same finger.

Why it took homicide detectives in Los Angeles two goddamned months to name Burke as a suspect in the girl’s death is not clear. The easiest answer lies in California’s lack of a felony abuse of a corpse statute – the usual go-to in other states to keep a suspect held without bail when cops and DAs have this strong of circumstantial probable cause but still need more time to bring a homicide case before a grand jury. The state legislature might want to get on that copy and paste job.

America’s favorite Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre De Moraes at 12:08 AM local time on Saturday detected an unusual signal from disgraced former President Jair Bolsonaro’s ankle monitor and immediately ordered the asshole’s arrest on suspicion of him planning to flee, the AP reports.

“That information shows the intent of the convict to break the ankle monitoring to assure his escape is successful, which would be made easier by the confusion that would be caused by a demonstration organized by his son,” the justice said, adding he had reasonable suspicion that Bolsonaro was headed to one of any number of foreign embassies located near his Sao Paolo home.

Oh wait, the headline’s wrong because De Moraes specifically ruled that his arrest should be effected “with all respect to the dignity of former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro, without the use of handcuffs and without any media exposition.” Should change it. Still symbolically accurate, right?

“Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, deciding that doing something racist, cruel, and unlikely to be legally effective is a great way to change the subject from what Marjie just posted.

“I do not want my district to endure a hateful primary against me by the very president we all fought for—only for me to win my election while Republicans likely lose the midterms, and then be expected to defend the president against impeachment after he tried to destroy me. I refuse to be a battered wife and just hope it gets better. There is no plan to save the world, and no 4D chess game being played,” said Greene in her resignation video. Holy shit that is freaking vicious, lol.

Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling halting the Lone State State GOP’s attempt to redraw five red districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, hoping for a fast win before the December 8th filing deadline.

We all want NYC to succeed.

But we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Sur-fucking-prise: Politico reports convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers have informed the House Oversight Committee, Chairbilly James Comer told reporters on Friday.

“Her lawyers have replied that she’s not going to answer any questions. She’s only going to plead the Fifth. I mean, I could spend a bunch of taxpayer dollars to send staff and members down there, and if she’s going to plead the Fifth, I don’t know that that’s a good investment,” Comer said.

Sure sounds like he’s REAL upset that she’s not cooperating with his investigators. Fucking hick.

Huh… You know this said “closed press” on the pool schedule as recently as like an hour or two ago, probably because Donald’s handlers wanted to avoid an incident in which the mayor-elect got the better of him rhetorically because he gets the better of a lot of people rhetorically. Not hard to imagine that Trump found out and demanded that cameras be allowed in to the meeting.
