He raped Juanita Broaddrick, has had many allegations of sexual harrassment in which he had to settle out of court to the tune of $850K via Paula Jones, he sold out America with NAFTA and sent industry out of country ruining the job market, and I would have to say the most damning thing about Clinton is the vaunted Clinton Death List and his ties to Jeffrey Epstein that Ajax can't remove. Now the lying mainstream media tries to protect his image but we all know Clinton went many times to Epstein Island. I believe Congress has held the Clintons in Contempt of Congress with Clintons ties to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein? They're in hot water but I don't believe anything will happen.

Overall Bill Clinton is a LIAR. The man lied to the entire country when he deliberately lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. He should not be trusted.

If there ever was Criminals in the White House Bill and Hillary Clinton, are it. They are no doubt the Bonnie and Clyde of Politricks.

Colbert's show being canceled right after the merger is too much of a coincidence for me. Paramount/Skydance is also trying to buy Warner Brothers, which owns CNN. That would be another win for Trump from the $16 million settlement. Additionally, most legal experts agreed that CBS had a very strong case and likely would have prevailed as it was widely seen as having little to no merit under the First Amendment. Trump came out golden in that deal.

Oh, I don't think he got rid of him. If anything, he unshackled him from the boundaries of network TV and a fuller reign of freedom to express himself when he is released from his contract. But the episode with him has shown with unfolding events that CBS has abandoned its foundations built on Murrow and Cronkite to that of chasing the $$$$ over integrity.

Just a sample...
From 1973 and until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts.
- $25 million settlement for students who claim they were defrauded by Trump University
- In 1991, one of Trump's casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, was found guilty of circumventing state regulations about casino financing when Donald Trump's father bought $3.5 million in chips that he had no plans to gamble.
- Donald J. Trump was forced to pay more than $2 million in court-ordered damages to eight different charities for illegally misusing charitable funds at the Trump Foundation for political purposes.
- At least bankruptcies, a practice Trump likened to a 'business practice'...investors and small business owners lost over $1.5 billion, while Trump continued to collect millions in salaries, bonuses, and other payments from these companies

Oh, I loved that with the non-profit, which was eventually forced to shut down, that the family had to take mandated court ordered ethics classes. Guess that didn't stick to well to the teflon donny&co

Is DOJ really so desperate as to resort to X for prosecutor candidates?
Haven't they heard of Indeed.com?

Chad Mizelle — acting general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security
https://x.com/chad_mizelle/status/20...896058233?s=20

If you are a lawyer, are interested in being an AUSA, and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me.

We need good prosecutors. And DOJ is hiring across the country. Now is your chance to join the mission and do good for our country.

Humorous trivia...Mizelle had to be reminded by responses to his post that he didn't turn on his DM capability on X...

Except for the drug allegations, Trump has an analog for just about everything you listed. That's pure "whataboutism". No newspaper actually counted the number of documented lies Clinton said. It's astounding that one felt the need to for Trump.

You say Trump's a businessman almost like that makes what he did prior to being President OK. It's not OK. I won't defend anything that Clinton has done that is wrong, nor would I expect any Democrat to when presented with evidence. Trump has been proven to have committed wrongs, sexually, monetarily, and morally (at a minimum not renting to black people based upon their skin color is morally wrong), but his followers (that's actually a more accurate term than supporters, in my opinion) will not condemn those wrongs.

Calling Trump a businessman and implying that is a strength is a fallacy. Trump has proven that he is not a good businessman. I really don't believe that's subjective.

Clinton is gone and has been for a couple of decades now. We don't have to worry about anything he does or anything he's done. Trump remains in office and will be there for three more years. We have to worry about what someone proven to be morally and financially bankrupt can and will do to our country.

Sons of top Trump administration officials made billions for their families, but their investors didn’t always fare so well

This is behind a paywall, unfortunately.

Somehow I find this to be incredibly ironic, both from the Fox's reporting and the real world aspect.

Nicki Minaj fans say they’re leaving Democrat Party as rapper’s politics spark backlash and praise

Nicki Minaj’s recent embrace of President Donald Trump, including her support for voter ID laws and public praise for the president, is now sparking a fresh wave of political reaction online with some fans saying they are leaving the Democratic Party and aligning with Republicans.

The fan posts, first reported by Newsweek on Saturday, surfaced after a week of heightened attention around Minaj’s political comments.

Several self-identified fans, often known as the "Barbz," said on X that Minaj’s stance had influenced their own political thinking.

So these folks are basing their move to the Republican party advice of immigrant who admits to having entered the United States illegally and is still a non-US citizen who cannot vote.


Even more ironic
Tyler Bowyer of Turning Point Action also weighed in, writing on X, "Nicki Minaj should go on tour and we can all help register tens of thousands of new voters through her concerts."
Republicans want to use a non-citizen immigrant to help register voters????


And the irony grows..
Minaj is married to a level two registered sex offender in New York and spent several years in jail for both attempted rape in the first degree and first-degree manslaughter.

Her brother Jelani Maraj, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. No evidence Jelani ever became a US citizen though he may have a green card. Don't I remember something from Trump/Noem and company about deporting the 'worst of the worst' even if they had green cards?


Trump's appraisal

And I think Nicki Minaj is a winner.

And once again, the hypocrisy…it’s horrible for MAGAtards when entertainers are against them, but love them when they are not!

And rag out the Dem supporting entertainers for proactive voting registration, and embrace those who do the same for the GOP.

MAGA’ #1 inbred trait is Hypocrisy.

President Donald Trump's administration ramped up its pressure on the U.S. judiciary on Tuesday, with the Justice Department saying it has asked federal prosecutors to supply it with the "most egregious examples" of judges impeding his agenda so Congress could take action against them.


The Justice Department previously filed at least two judicial misconduct complaints against judges handling cases against Trump's policies, both of which subsequently were dismissed.

The Justice Department, which is led by Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi, made the disclosure in response to a report by Bloomberg Law that an official recently asked all 93 U.S. Attorneys ​for examples of perceived judicial activism that could inform potential impeachment referrals to Congress.
judicial activism Translation...any judge that ruled against Trump's actions, even if they violate existing statutes or the Constitution...

[elghund]

The end result of this would be a whole bunch of pissed of judges!

Constitution?
If at first you don't succeed in violating it, try again...

Attorney General Pam Bondi, seeking to revive the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, is arguing that she can appoint successive acting U.S. attorneys.

The cases were thrown out after a U.S. district judge found that the former interim U.S. attorney for the Easter District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, had been unlawfully appointed in violation of the Constitution's appointments clause and laws that govern how U.S. attorney appointments can be made.

In the appeal filed Monday to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche argue that the Justice Department is utilizing the tools Congress gave them to deal with U.S. attorney vacancies.

The defendants were not indicted by Halligan, Bondi and Blanche argue, but were "charged by a group of [their] fellow citizens acting independently of [her]" who found probable cause to believe that they committed federal crimes."

These same arguments were rejected by the district court.

I think this fits:

"Trump team already looking to spin jobs numbers by claiming deportations are reason they’ll be down"

Navarro said people should expect job growth in the 50,000 monthly range — as opposed to the six-figure range consistently met when former President Joe Biden was in office.

He then claimed, without providing evidence, that the significant job growth under Biden was due to illegal immigrants taking jobs from Americans, who were left filing for unemployment as a result.

“When we were letting in 2 million illegal aliens…We had to produce 200,000 jobs a month for a steady state. And by the way, all of the jobs we were creating in Biden years were going to illegals. Americans were going to the unemployment lines,” Navarro claimed. “That’s totally reversed, and now 50,000 a month is going to be more like what we need.”

President Donald Trump’s administration fired a U.S. attorney on Wednesday, hours after he was appointed by federal judges.
Donald Kinsella was appointed the U.S. attorney in New York’s Northern District in place of John A. Sarcone III, who left his post as the acting U.S. attorney after a judge blocked Sarcone from any further involvement in the investigation of New York Attorney General Letitia James, claiming he was not lawfully serving in the office at the time the subpoenas were issued in the case.

Said Todd Blanche

Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired, Donald Kinsella.

I would remind Blanche
- Trump’s former personal lawyer, Alina Habba, was barred from her previously held post as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor after a federal appeals court upheld a lower court decision that found she was unlawfully serving in her position.
= The president’s handpicked prosecutor in northern Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, was dually deemed to have been “unlawfully appointed” in November.
