A Lie Too Far
Tricia McLaughlin, DHS mouthpiece, we bid you a hearty goodbye,
We’re holding back our liberal tears and stifling leftist sighs.
Why she picked now to go,
Nobody seems to know,
But perhaps she hit her limit and just couldn’t tell one more lie.
Why the Epstein Files and Coverup Are Vital
“This is not a bread-and-circuses moment. The Epstein controversy is vitally important. One could argue that it’s the biggest scandal in American political history. The U.S. Government, from the President on down, is trying desperately to cover up a massive child sex trafficking ring where some of the richest, most powerful people on earth were either involved or turned a blind eye. … During Pam Bondi’s deranged appearance before the Senate last week, it was revealed that the Department of Justice hadn’t even interviewed the survivors. One can only assume that Bondi is too worried about whom they will implicate.”
— Dan Pfeiffer
Ossoff Calls Election Deniers ‘False Prohets’
“Among today’s false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president’s obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this — they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller’s total and humiliating submission.”
— Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), in a campaign speech.
Judge Quotes George Orwell in Ruling Against Trump’s Racism
“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not.”
— U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, “evoking the dystopian world of George Orwell’s novel 1984, ordered the Trump administration on Monday to return a long-standing exhibit on slavery it removed from a popular historical museum in Philadelphia,” CNN reports.
Norway Won’t Knuckle Under to Trump’s Nobel Bullying
“A candidate who is aggressively campaigning for him or herself will neither be penalized nor privileged.”
— Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Nobel Institute leader Kristian Berg Harpviken explained to The Atlantic why Trump’s threats, cajoling and fury over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize won’t be successful.
Cheating Churls of Curling
At the Winter Olympics, it’s not just the snow that’s whirling,
Surrounding the British and Canadian teams, allegations are swirling,
Seems the skips aren’t doing too much,
Just giving the stone an extra touch,
But that’s enough to add controversy to the boring sport of curling.
I Remember Presidents Day
This Trump administration is really something,
Ignoringing the rule of law, grifting off everything.
So, on this auspicious Presidents Day,
I just wanted to take a moment to say,
Remember back when we had a president and not a mad king?
