    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/11/2024 - 09:00 PM

    A constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights in Missouri and overturn the state’s near-total ban will remain on the November ballot, despite right-wing efforts to remove it. On Friday, a judge ruled the amendment should not be on the ballot, four days before Tuesday’s deadline to finalize ballots. But on Tuesday, Missouri’s Supreme Court ruled that the amendment shall remain on the ballot. The Missouri Independent has the deets on the rulings.

  • Chris Wallace Buries Donald's 'Devastating' Debate Performance
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/11/2024 - 08:00 PM

    Right-wing commentators and Xitter enthusiasts are having a difficult time coping after their hero blew the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night. All the Xitter polls in the world won't help the felon after he repeatedly stumbled and took Harris's bait at every turn. CNN host Chris Wallace criticized Trump's "disastrous" debate performance, saying that the 78-year-old Republican nominee "looked old" while comparing last night's debate to President Joe Biden's in June.

  • Kim Guilfoyle Gives An Epic Failure Of A Speech
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/11/2024 - 07:00 PM

    Standing in front of a dramatic blood red curtain with ominous lighting and draped in a demon red dress, Kim Guilfoyle gave a pathetically lame speech to a room full of Florida Republicans. So lame that it actually brought back traumatic memories of the Jeb Bush "please clap" speech that contributed to the death of his political aspirations. Political party? Party for Satan? Death of American exceptionalism? FIRE FIRE FIRE! I don't know.

  • Mar-a-Lago Maniac Demands Republicans Shut Down The Government
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/11/2024 - 05:00 PM

    Just as Republicans failed to vote for a bipartisan border bill after Donald J. Trump demanded they disregard it, he is now calling on his enablers to shut down the government over a bullshit narrative. It is already illegal for non-US citizens to vote, but Trump is claiming that a problem that doesn't exist is the problem, so he can claim that the election will be rigged.
