Bless his tiny, coal black heart, Donald Trump Jr. so desperately wants to be loved by his father — disgraced and indicted former president Donald Trump — and yet even when Junior tries to take a cheap shot at one of his old man’s main rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, he winds up humiliating himself and trolling his daddy.
On his podcast Thursday, Don Jr. suggested that DeSantis had a bad week, noting that the formal rollout of his campaign on Twitter had been filled with glitches and other technical problems.
Junior also suggested that DeSantis had sounded “nasally” and “effeminate” when he spoke.
Just one small problem: The indicted ex-president’s son accidentally inserted his pop’s name instead of DeSantis’, remarking, “Trump has the personality of a mortician, and the energy that makes Jeb Bush look an Olympian.”
Junior goes on a rant that is supposed to be about Desantis, but he misreads his script:

Maybe Junior should have left out the happy nose dust before he hit live – lol 😆

Someone needs to tell him he got it all wrong if he's trying to hype his father.

That's what happens when you snort too much coke before you make a video. However it did make him say one true thing. Trump indeed has the charisma of a mortician. That's because he's used to talking to crowds of the walking dead. pic.twitter.com/zXODJvgOF5
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) got the better of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during an online debate on the issue of LGBT rights and shut down the congresswoman by using one of her most absurd conspiracy theories against her.
Newsom criticized Target for taking down for removing some of its Pride Month merchandise due to a backlash from right-wingers like Greene, expressing his disappointment on Twitter.
“CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage. This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.
“Wake up America. This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman? You’re next.”
CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage.
This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.
Greene countered Newsom’s posting by claiming the “gay community” isn’t under attack and tried to blame Target for displaying “tuck-friendly” clothing aimed at children. That claim has since been debunked by The Associated Press, which noted, “The ‘tuck-friendly’ swimsuits are only offered in adult sizes, according to a spokesperson for the company and Target’s website. Kids’ swimsuits in the collection do not feature this label.”
No one is attacking the gay community Gavin.
They don’t want their children forcefully exposed to the radical side of pride with “tuck it” and “binding” children’s clothes and messaging while simply shopping at Target.
The space laser line is a reference to comments Greene made on Facebook in which she suggested the Rothschild family had financed lasers that caused the California wildfires.
It’s been clear for quite some time now that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but something she said today during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the price of prescription drugs, the Colorado Republican uttered what may well go down in U.S. history as one of the dumbest things ever said by a member of Congress.
According to Boebert, “I left a prescription at a pharmacy once. I went to get birth control, and I was there at the counter and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said, wow, is this a three six-month prescription? ‘No, ma’am, this is one month.'”
“And I said, it’s cheaper to have a kid. And I left it there, and now I have my third son.”

Just for shits and giggles, let’s take Bobo’s bullshit comment and do a quick fact-check on it.
According to a 2022 Washington Post report, it costs about $17,000 a year to raise a child.
Raising a child is expensive. From the day your baby is born until the day they turn 18, your family will spend about $310,605 — or about $17,000 a year, according to a new Brookings Institution analysis of data from the U.S. Agriculture Department.
The exact amount will vary depending on how much you earn and where you live. Families in the urban Northeast typically spend the most, for example, while those in the urban Midwest and rural areas spend the least. And while families with lower incomes spend less overall, government studies show they devote a larger share of their budgets to their children.
The cost of birth control, on the other hand, can run as high as $2,000 a year, with Healthline noting, “It’s no secret that birth control is expensive. Whether you go with the pill, the ring, the patch, or another method, the cost of birth control can range up to $2,000 per year.”
Let’s see: $17,000 a year vs. $2,000 a year. That’s one hell of a difference, and it easily disproves Bobert’s moronic statement that she found it cheaper to raise a child than pay for birth control.
Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has never been the sharpest knife in the proverbial drawer, but something she tweeted out Monday afternoon regarding the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is now making some wonder if she can even understand how time works.
The subject of Boebert’s tweet was the so-called “surge” taking place at the border since Title 42 ended last week.
Has there been a massive influx of migrants since the policy ended? No. There hasn’t.
According to the most recent figures released Monday, the number of encounters at the border fell by about 50 percent in the first three days after Title 42 was abandoned
Whereas the daily number of such encounters had been predicted to reach somewhere in the ballpark of 13,000, it instead came in around 5,000. There were few scenes of disorder or chaos.
And yet, Boebert tweeted out this:
“Still no surge” says CNN as they show a surge on their graphic.
Just how stupid is Boebert? Is she unable to read a chart? Or is the congresswoman so mentally challenged that she cannot even understand last week versus this week?
Twitter users were only too happy to answer that question and also mock Boebert for her lack of comprehension.
They thought people would see that the number of people apprehended got smaller as the week progressed.
Same numbers, but the days of the week are in the right order.
When the numbers get smaller, that's the opposite of a surge.
Do you know how to Math? Let me help: 10,400 encounters on Tuesday is greater than 4,200 encounters on Saturday. 10,400 – 4,200 = 6,200 fewer encounters. That is a decline, not a surge. pic.twitter.com/iDK8KrkNHU
According to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), his fact-free investigation of President Joe Biden and the Biden family’s “corruption” was going great until the key witness suddenly disappeared.
During an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox host Maria Bartiromo, Comer was asked, “”You have spoken with whistleblowers,” she noted. “You also spoke with an informant who gave you all of this information. Where is that informant today? Where are these whistleblowers?”
Comer: “Well, unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant. We’re hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible.”
“Hold on a second, Congressman,” Bartiromo said. “Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing?”
“Well, we we’re hopeful that we can find the informant,” Comer replied, claiming the informant was in the “spy business” and “they don’t make a habit of being seen a lot.”
Comer then added, “The nine of the ten people that we’ve identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they’re one of three things, Maria, they’re either currently in court, they’re currently in jail, or they’re currently missing.”
Translation: Comer has no witnesses or informants. He made the entire thing up as a way to slag the president in retribution for a real criminal, Donald Trump, being impeached twice and under indictment in Manhattan.
The GOP strategy for attacking the Biden family is simple: They make a lot of noise, throw out a bunch of allegations, and then yell “Squirrel!!” when anyone asks for specifics.
