Cia’s Brain Drain: Since 9/11, Some Top Officials Have Moved To Private Sector

Desi Lydic and the rest of The Daily Show's news team takes a hard look at the answer to the question on the lips of everyone in the world - What the actual fuck, America?! America did make history by electing the first convicted felon president, even before we elected the first female president. However, don't bother watching the squawking heads to explain how this possibly could have happened.

David Frum left the Republican Party following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. “De-registered as a Republican today,” Frum, a staff writer at The Atlantic, wrote on the social platform X on Wednesday. Via The Hill: Frum, a former speechwriter for then-President George W. Bush, has held on to his party affiliation even as he has become a vocal critic of the former president and his influence on the Republican Party since the 2016 election. In 2016, Frum penned an editorial announcing he was reluctantly supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and urged his like-minded Republicans to follow suit, writing, “Your hand may hesitate to put a mark beside the name Hillary Clinton.

So Harris didn't just have a problem with sexist white men. She was also contending with chauvinist male Latino voters who told Pennsylvania radio host Victor Martinez that women belong in the kitchen. After Harris conceded the 2024 race to President-Elect Donald Trump late Wednesday afternoon, Martinez joined MSNBC’s post-election coverage to offer his perspective on the ongoing postmortem of the race for Democrats. As they noted, Martinez had made a previous appearance on the network to talk about the reaction to Tony Hinchcliffe's racist remarks at the Trump hate-fest in Madison Square Garden. Nicolle Wallace asked Martinez about the impact of the "garbage" remark on the Puerto Rican community, and Martinez responded that in Allentown where he lives, it had an impact with most of that community voting for Harris, but, as he noted, "it wasn't enough," before sharing this with Wallace about just how sexist the other Latino men calling into his radio show are.read more

For the party of law and order, they, like their felonious hero, think that rules do not apply to them. The same can be said for Christopher Carnell, 21, of North Carolina, a January 6 defendant, who, through his attorneys, requested that D. C. District Judge Beryl Howell delay a status hearing in his case scheduled for later this week, citing Donald J.

Like everywhere in the country, Wisconsin's elections were turning into a regular shitshow, especially in the federal races. We watched in horror and disbelief when they announced the slugs and sleazeballs like Glenn Grothman, Tom Tiffany and Drunken Van Orden were winning. Even worse, it looked like the state's worst nightmare since Ron Johnson beat Russ Feingold was about to come a sickening reality. Late into the night, with most of the precincts reporting in, Eric "Pornstache" Hovde was up by some 80,000 votes.

The video above of Mike Davis, who could be Trump’s attorney general, is from 11 months ago. He's consistently been a terrible person, and he still has some violent thoughts. His words would be disqualifying in any other world, but we're stuck in a bizarre timeline. The Republican lawyer and former Senate aide has previously called for a "three-week reign of terror," and he's continuing down that road. Davis really wants the job as Trump's AG and is calling for revenge against Democrats, even though Trump somehow pulled a victory on Election Day. “Here’s my current mood,” Davis wrote on Xitter.
