Donald Trump has created an outside advisory department called "Department of Government Efficiency", which will be run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The purpose? To cut back on government waste and spending. Ironic, since Elon is one of the (if not the) richest man in the world and Vivek is a millionaire.

What do you get when you add a man accused of drunk driving and trafficking underage women, a woman who supported Assad gassing his own people and parrots Putin propaganda all day and all night long and a guy with a weird history of crossing paths with dead bear cubs, whale heads, brain worms and assorted other beasts we can only assume (especially since going MAGA).

A lot of Americans have toyed with the idea of leaving the country if Trump won the election, but shit is getting real with the targets of the president-elect's vow of retribution. After all, Trump, a malignant narcissist, didn't hide his lust for revenge. The Washington Post reports: A retired U. S.

The Donald's transition team is bypassing the standard FBI background checks for at least some of his Cabinet picks while using private companies to conduct vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs. Of course! Via CNN: Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work of implementing his agenda, people briefed on the plans said.

By JILL COLVIN and AMANDA SEITZ NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, putting a man whose views public health officials have decried as dangerous in charge of a massive agency that oversees everything from drug, vaccine and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid. “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump said Thursday in a post on his Truth Social site announcing the appointment.

Apparently buoyed by something she read online, Rep. Lauren Boebert brought up the possibility of non-human civilizations in the ocean's depths. No, really, she did. I'm not making this up. "Boebert left the hearing without answers but said she "will not relent until we get those answers to the American people."' Your tax dollars at work, people. Source: KUSA WASHINGTON D.

The MAGA GOP is whining about their Medicare fraudster Sen. Rick Scott, a Trump puppet, wasn't chosen as the Senate Majority Leader. On Steve Bannon's War Room, or the House of Sedition, jailbirds Pete Navarro and Steve Bannon discussed the fight over who will lead the Senate and both wanted no part of Senators Thune or Cornyn. "But under no circumstances, Steve, can Donald Trump leave Washington and have John Thune or John Cornyn as the Senate majority leader?" Navarro said.

Trump continues to fill his cabinet with unqualified asshole loyalists. Today he announced that he was nominating Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his new Attorney General. The entire political infrastructure is in shock over this one. Being under investigation for sexual activities seems to be one of Trump's prerequisites to be in his cabinet. Politico, "One senior Republican Hill official said the Gaetz decision was an “absolute gut punch.” Axios reported: We wanted him out of the House

Back in the pre-Trump-bare-election-win days (yep, ignore the usual b.s. from the corporate media, as I said on my livestream last week, there were a ton of votes left in California and by the time they're done Kamala may only lose by 1.5% or less of the popular vote) I put together this video, and I think it's even more relevant now.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz called out Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump after she insisted that Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump by "insulting people." "If you're running for president of the United States, you better lay out a great plan for the American people and tell them how you're going to make their life better, not just continually attack the opposition," Trump told Kurtz in a Sunday interview on Fox News. "And I think whenever they got to a level of just insulting people and trying to harass people into voting for them, that's kind of how when you lose the American public, when people say, you know what, I don't want to be insulted into voting for someone," the RNC co-chair added. "But couldn't Democrats say the same?" Kurtz pushed back.

It doesn't get much more pathetic and brazen than this, Rudy Giuliani whining on X and begging for more cash. Tomorrow, Giuliani will be back in court and most likely be held in contempt after not turning over his assets to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Source: New York Post Rudy Giuliani made a bold accusation Saturday that the federal government is trying to starve him to pay out the Georgia election workers he defamed. The disgraced ex-New York City mayor pleaded for pennies from the public by reigniting a months-old Give Send Go fundraiser to support his fight to reverse orders to hand over $148 million worth of assets. “Wilkie Farr Law firm and Judge Liman are trying to inhibit me from making a living.

Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky—who infamously stole two Supreme Court seats and refused to convict Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection—isn't leaving Congress. But McConnell won't be Senate majority leader when the new GOP majority is sworn in in January, announcing in February that he was stepping down from the role when the new Congress is sworn in. Republicans are now jockeying to replace him, with Sens.

Art Jipson, University of Dayton A growing movement believes President-elect Donald Trump is fighting a spiritual war against demonic forces within the United States. Trump himself stated in his acceptance speech on Nov. 6, 2024, that the reason that “God spared my life” was to “restore America to greatness.” I have studied various religious movements that seek to shape and control American society.

Given the sheer volume of racism, lies and misogyny that regularly comes out of Jesse Watters' pie hole, this latest comment should be a surprise to no one. Watters weighed in on Trump's plans for mass deportations, consequences be damned, on this Friday's The Five, and apparently Watters believes the visuals of these people being hauled off and families being ripped apart is just going to be hysterical. Watters also sounded a lot like Tucker Carlson with the ridiculous "daddy" remark about Trump. WATTERS: And then deportation.

For any Americans who voted for Trump thinking he'd usher in a better economy for you, here’s a spoiler alert: It’s the rich who will be getting richer. A lot richer. The Guardian has the deets: The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn) on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012. Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn.

It's always, always projection with these clowns. Elon Musk is calling anyone else a propaganda puppet? Via Rolling Stone: Jimmy Kimmel is getting a lot of heat from Republicans following Donald Trump‘s election victory. Elon Musk referred to the late-night host as an “insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet” on X following the election results, leading Kimmel to respond on last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. During his monologue, Kimmel recounted how he had shared his thoughts on the election on his show and how he was “going to miss democracy.” “I heard from a lot of people about it, but none more prominent than the richest man in the world,” he told the audience.
