A day after a shooting massacre at the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard that left 13 people dead, including the shooter, the gun control debate was suddenly a hot topic again among pundits. Even so, passage of new gun laws seems unlikely. A major effort to expand background checks on gun buyers, crafted in the wake of the December elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., crumbled in the Senate earlier this year.

  • Fox News Host: People Don't Get Fat Eating Pizza In Europe
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 12/17/2024 - 04:48 PM

    Fox and Friends host Ainsley Earhardt was so enthusiastic and effervescent about her love of RFK Junior that I broke up a short video clip into two articles. The first short segment out was about how Ainsley believed the anti-VAX crackpot cures autism and cancer in children. That in itself would put any political pundit in a white straitjacket. Her second point was just as ludicrous when she claimed that people do not gain weight eating pizza and pasta in Europe.

  • Trump Sues Iowa Pollster Ann Selzer And Des Moines Register
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 12/17/2024 - 04:48 PM

    Trump's suit seeks “accountability for brazen election interference.” I'm not a lawyer but also sounds like they're alleging criminal activity as Trump's outlandish claim would also imply a conspiracy against him. Given that there is no proof of that, or even that Trump's lawyers are interested in seeking evidence, they've alleged that it violates the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act, a ludicrous claim that likely won't go anywhere but will cause headaches for Ann Selzer and the Iowa Register. Given the cost of litigation, we probably won't see a countersuit from Ann Selzer or the Des Moines Register but it's certainly a possibility.

    The next ranking member of the House Oversight Committee will reportedly be nine-term Democrat Gerry Connolly of Virginia. Connolly, 74, beat out his competitor, 35-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N. Y.), 131-84 at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. The current Oversight ranking member, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), is vacating the post to replace Rep.

    Dani Izzie, a wheelchair user with quadriplegia, tried to take public transit, as she usually does, when visiting Miami in 2022. Heading to catch a bus, Izzie came to the end of a street without curb cuts—meaning she couldn’t safely cross it to the bus stop. She tried to get an accessible taxi; none were available.

  • Trump Lunatic Presser: 'We Had No Problems' When I Left Office
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 12/17/2024 - 01:24 PM

    Donald Trump went off on a raving diatribe during a Monday Palm Beach, Florida press conference, claiming he left the country in perfect shape when he left office in 2021, right after his disastrous handling of COVID and an insurrection. Demented Donald wears so much make-up he looks like the logo from Red Devil paints. Nothing is ever Trump's fault in his maggot-nfested brain. TRUMP: Like, out of nowhere came the China virus.
