While we haven’t seen President Joe Biden much since he decided not to seek a second term in office, he’s still around and still has his brilliantly cutting wit at his disposal whenever the subject of failed one-term former president Donald Trump comes up.
Such was the case Thursday when Biden was preparing to board Marine One and a reporter asked, “Mr. Trump said he wants to ‘make America affordable again.’ Your response?”
Biden replied, “He ought to get a job.”

Based on comments he made about failed former president and convicted felon Donald Trump, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro may have just rocketed to the top of the list to be Kamala Harris’s choice as running mate.
Shapiro was speaking at a Harris rally on Monday, and he asked attendees, “You ever see this guy? Like when he’s on stage?”
“He kind of meanders over,” Shapiro continued, copying Trump’s gait and raised arms. “And he goes over to the flag and and he like hugs the flag — I mean I love the flag — but it’s a weird thing he does, right?!”
The crowd roared with laughter, which led Shapiro to add, “But while … while he’s hugging the flag you know what he’s doing? He’s ripping away our freedoms! That’s what he’s all about. Because here’s what I know. It’s not freedom to tell our children what books they’re allowed to read. That’s not freedom. It is not freedom to tell people they can go to work but they can’t join a union. That’s not freedom! It is not freedom to tell women what they’re allowed to do with their bodies. That’s not freedom!”
He’s literally converting me with every appearance. THIS kind of man and orator may be able to talk himself right out of controversy. He is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no doubt. #JoshShapiro
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg brought the receipts and laid them on the table during an appearance on Fox News to prove disgraced former president Donald Trump’s so-called accomplishments in office were actually just a collection of broken promises.
Speaking with Fox host Shannon Bream, Buttigieg noted that while Trump said in 2016 what he planned to do as head of state, all he really accomplished was lying about everything.
“He kept his promise to destroy the right to choose in this country and he kept his promise on tax cuts for the rich.”
“And if you want to know what a second Trump term would be like, I would start by looking at those rare promises that he actually managed to keep.”
On the issue of abortion and a woman’s right to choose, Buttigieg also pushed back when Bream claimed Trump had “disavowed” wanting a national ban on the procedure.
“Yeah, he’s disavowed a lot of things. I don’t believe him because he lies all the time,” Buttigieg replied.

While he was at it, Buttigieg also suggested that Trump might be congnitively impaired, which is legitimate concern since Donald is 78 and would be 83 if he was elected and served a second term in office.
“Unlike Republicans who in Trump’s personality cult will take a look at Donald Trump and say he’s perfectly fine even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Haley and Pelosi, even though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter … we don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side.”

Donald Trump lies about everything. Are we supposed to believe he has suddenly had a change of heart and is telling us the truth? He doesn’t have a speck of truth in him and deserves to lose in a landslide.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg exposed Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance as a fraud and huckster Friday evening during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” and a video of his comments is going viral online.
Discussing why Silicon Valley high-tech executives are so eager to see Vance become VP, Buttigieg noted, “These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican Party, that tends to do good things for very rich men. That’s kind of what you’re getting with J.D. [Vance], right?
Buttigieg then referenced past comments Vance made about failed former president Donald Trump in which he called the convicted felon an “opioid.”
“For somebody whose identity is that they’re connected to Appalachia, which has an opioid crisis, that really is the darkest thing you could possibly say about Donald Trump, at least in public. Behind the scenes, he was actually calling him ‘Hitler,’ right? Seriously!”
Much like former vice president Mike Pence, Buttigieg added, Vance is willing to compromise his values to achieve power.
“I watched [Pence] start out as an evangelical Christian who cared about rectitude and family values, and then get on board with a guy who was mixed up with a porn star, and make excuses for him. He got four glorious years, I guess, as vice president of the United States. And it ended on the West front of the U.S. Capitol with Trump supporters proposing that he be hanged for using the one shred of integrity he still had to stand up to an attempt to overthrow the government.”
“So I guess, maybe not as a politician but as a human being, what I’ll say is that I hope things work out a little bit better for J.D. Vance than they did for Pence,” he added.
There was a time when Republicans had brains and spines. But those days are long gone.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of convicted felon Donald Trump, is getting pilloried on social media for comments he made about his daughter, Kai, before she spoke at the Republican National Convention this week.
According to Newsweek, Don Jr. posted a video of himself and Kai preparing for their convention appearance.
In a video posted to his official TikTok account Thursday, Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son, can be seen in a chair next to his 17-year-old daughter Kai while a cosmetic artist dabs his face with a makeup pad.
“Kai, what do you think? Getting makeup, make me look sexy like you?” he said to the camera.
“I think you look very beautiful,” his daughter replied.
He then added, “I don’t do this often, but in HD you better do it,” appearing to refer to his public appearance at the RNC, which was filmed.
Donald Trump Jr. to his daughter, Kai: "Getting makeup. Make me look sexy, like you."
Junior’s father has made similar comments about his daughter, Ivanka Trump, suggesting that he found her to be sexier than his wife when she was only 13 years old.
Twitter users expressed disgust for Don Jr’s remarks, suggesting that such a comment isn’t appropriate, even as a joke.
So creepy, normal people do not think that way. Perhaps a lame dad joke like, hey maybe I can look pretty like you, and even that would be a bit strange. But sexy? Thats some top level creep stuff there.
Maybe when Kai has children in a few years, Don Jr. can make inappropriate sexual comments about them, too. After all, it’s all the rage in the Trump family.
