Jon Stewart was back on The Daily Show and compared Donald Trump to Mr. Magoo as the hush money trial continues. Michael Cohen wrapped up his testimony and admitted he had stolen from the Trump Organization, which prompted Stewart to compare the former POTUS to the animated character. “How lucky is Donald Trump?” Stewart said. “Donald Trump is like a corruption Mr. Magoo. He’s just stumbling around, quid pro quo-ing, metal beams falling all around him [and] gets out completely unscathed.” Mr. Magoo is a fictional character who appeared in the UPA animated series Mister Magoo, voiced by Jim Backus.…
President Biden’s campaign raised $51 million in April and has $192 million on hand as it enters June, the campaign announced Monday. The $51 million haul falls short of the Trump campaign’s $76 million fundraising total for the month of April.

And, you know, people have to realize that moments like that,…

On Monday, the 40-year-old mother of two posted a photo with the Republican candidate and wife Melania Trump with the caption “Trump 2024” and three American flag emojis. Mind you, this is the same woman who called Trump a “fucking idiot” less than a decade prior, telling the Cut at the time that she “really hope[s] he’s not president.” You’ll recall that Rose, who is a former stripper, also hosted a SlutWalk…
Former President Donald Trump‘s campaign is hitting back following the premiere of the controversial film “The Apprentice,” which chronicles the 2024 presidential candidate’s early years as a real estate developer. “We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” the Trump campaign’s chief spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to Variety. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked. As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of…

More than a week after the end of the 2024 legislative session and the excuse-making for the failure of gambling legislation is still going strong. And the absurdity of it is overwhelming. Especially the absurdity coming from the Alabama Senate Republicans. Let’s be clear: Alabama voters are not going to get a chance to vote on gambling legislation because of 15 Alabama senators. There’s no other way around that. Oh, but they’ve tried to get around it. They’ve tried everything in the world to explain away the manner in which they sold out their constituents. From Sen. Chris Elliott and…
