Former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified before the Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday that on Jan. 6, President Trump insisted that security measures be taken down at his Ellipse rally in order to boost the size of the crowd, arguing that people carrying weapons were “not here to hurt me.” Hutchinson said she overheard Trump say something to the effect of, “‘I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking [magnometers] away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.” Cassidy Hutchinson says Trump wanted a bigger crowd at his rally, and he said: "I don't fucking care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me.

We’re going back to the West Wing. We’re not going to the Capitol.’ Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge toward Bobby Engel. When Mr. Ornato had recounted this story to me he had motioned toward his clavicles.” Trump had a tantrum in the beast and said “I’m the f’ing President, take me to the Capitol now” pic.twitter.com/WiA8MHA7Tf — Acyn (@Acyn) … [Read more...] about Trump ‘Lunged’ at Secret Service Agent Who Refused to Take Him to Capitol on Jan. 6

Hubbard related a scene she witnessed while walking into the dining room where, according to the White House valet who was about to clean ketchup off the wall, the then-president had thrown the his lunch — and plate — against the wall. Asked if that were an isolated example Hubbard replied, “There were several instances throughout my tenure where I was aware of him throwing dishes or flipping the table cloth to let … [Read more...] about Late Night TV Hosts React To “Truly Insane” Revelations About Trump’s Multiple Jan. 6-Related Meltdowns

Jason Kander: Trump’s Support for the Troops Is a Lie
Last week, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. Army is discharging reservists and recruits who joined the military as part of a promised path to citizenship. I’ve spent time since then trying to remember if I served in the Army with anyone who wasn’t a U.S. citizen. And the truth is, I have no idea. That’s because I, and everyone else I served with, would never ask a question like that. When you wear U.S. Army on your uniform, no one ever asks your citizenship because they know everyone there is willing to die for our country, which is more than a lot of citizens are willing to do. I’m not saying everyone has to serve, I’m just saying military service is patriotic whether or not you’re a citizen. President Trump is now turning his back on men and women who bravely serve our country despite not having the privileges and rights that come with being born here. This follows a disturbing pattern. President Trump is trying to keep people of certain races and … [Read more...] about Jason Kander: Trump’s Support for the Troops Is a Lie
Donald Trump — Terry Pegula’s a Loser … I Could’ve Saved The Bills!
SHOTS FIRED!!! Donald Trump is taking aim at the new Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula ... saying he's a LOSER who won't lead his team to a title. Trump was in the running to buy the team, but was ultimately outbid by Pegula -- and this morning, Donald is saying the whole thing was a blessing in disguise. "Even though I refused to pay a ridiculous price for the Buffalo Bills, I would have produced a winner. Now that won’t happen," Trump tweeted. Trump added, "The people of Buffalo should be happy Terry Pegula got the team but I hope he does better w/the Bills than he has w/the Sabres. Good luck!" Of course, Trump's referring to the Buffalo Sabres -- which Pegula also owns -- a team that flat out sucked over that past couple of seasons. Trump concluded with a parting shot at the NFL -- "The @nfl games are so boring now that actually, I’m glad I didn’t get the Bills. Boring games, too many flags, too soft!" … [Read more...] about Donald Trump — Terry Pegula’s a Loser … I Could’ve Saved The Bills!
Howard Stern V. Supreme Court: Radio Jock Says He Might Run For President Following Roe Overturn
Radio talk host Howard Stern is so upset about the overturning of Roe v. Wade he’s threatening to run for president. On his SiriusXM radio show on Monday, Stern said “If I do run for president, and I’m not f*cking around, I’m really thinking about it, because the only other thing I’m going to do is appoint five more Supreme Court justices.” His primary goal, he said, is, “I would have is to make the country fair again.” Stern said he told co-host Robin Quivers, “I’m actually gonna probably have to run for president now” following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. “The problem with most presidents is they have too big of an agenda. The only agenda I would have is to make the country fair again.” Stern said he’d also do away with the Electoral College. One big caveat, though: Stern will only consider running for president in 2024 if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. “I’ll beat his ass,” Stern boasted.
