Jimmy Kimmel Urges Viewers to Never Watch CBS Again After Colbert Finale Airs www.mediaite.com/media/tv/jim...

It's TACO Tuesday, 1/2 hour before the US stock market opens. Are we about to hear some more BS?

The Friday pre-stock market cease fire agreement is in. Right on time.

Ok media… Time to get over the Dinner. Get back to the War and Epstein files, those are the real stories.

If the public can save Jimmy Kimmel's job, the public can put the squeeze on Congress to come out into public view, face hard-core questions, and feel the heat.

Seriously has the Trump administration not read “The little boy who cried wolf”

Thank God. I knew it was TACO Tuesday.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Republicans attacking the Pope and his anti-war stance should go over really well with the American public, which is increasingly anti-war and disgusted by Trump's blasphemy. Double down!

I know it’s difficult to remember, but before Trump we could go weeks without hearing from an American president — and that was a good thing

But he’ll say it’s a picture of him as a doctor.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Mike Johnson on the Pope: "If you wade into political waters, you should expect some political response & the Pope has received some. Frankly I was taken a bit aback by him saying something about 'those who engage in war, Jesus doesn't hear their prayers' or something. There's 'just war' doctrine.'"

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "We need more religion in politics." [Pope uses religion to criticize Trump.] CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "Keep your religion out of our politics!!!"

Life has become unpredictable and costly under this President.

DOGGETT: Doesn't your budget propose another 12% cut for NIH? VOUGHT: Most of what you said is untrue. NIH was not cut at all-- D: My Q is don't you propose another 12% cut? VOUGHT: We propose a cut D: Is it your feeling that we just can't afford to invest more in doing something about cancer?

Trump is banking on the US news media not doing their job, and they are obliging. Trump keeps saying, "Peace any second now." There are no planned peace talks in Pakistan, and the Prime Minister isn't even in the country right now. It's embarrassing they're calling themselves journalists.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - Justice Department moves to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in major Jan. 6 cases.

The eyewatering hypocrisy writes itself.

Remember, Donald Trump is not the disease of our politics. Only the worst symptom. Yes, let's defeat Trump. And let's defeat the system that allows corporations and special interests to buy and sell politicians in a way that leaves it rigged against the rest of us.

CNN put together a montage of Chris Wright saying last month that "there's a very good chance" gas prices will be back below $3 a gallon by the summer, followed by a clip of him saying yesterday that "by the summer is an aggressive timeframe now"

I’m sure we can add to this list….

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

Today's cartoon by Michael Ramirez for the Washington Post:

Members of Congress are gaining access to ICE facilities and surprise, surprise, the conditions are inhumane.

Should be part of his next test.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Oooohh … Melania is gonna be pissed to see the latest LEGO video, “Epstein Queen”!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Iran could do the funniest thing and tell Trump that they're willing to negotiate about their nuclear program but only if it's with Obama.

HOWLING

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford rent, groceries, and gas in Trump's crumbling economy. How is Trump responding? By fighting legal challenges to his ballroom and unveiling plans for a 250-foot "Arc de Trump" — which could be financed by millions in taxpayer funds. Priorities.

Trump just said in a press conference that Pope Leo is weak on crime. It feels to me like eternal damnation is a pretty tough line on crime.

Trump just said in a press conference that Pope Leo is weak on crime. I had no idea the pope was responsible for crime.

The Pope claps back very papally…

Right before the markets open for the week. Like clockwork.

Saudi Arabia does NOT want this war to end until there's a regime change. The US sends Jared Kushner, who is on the Saudi's payroll to the tune of many, many millions (!), to negotiate with Iran. These people are NOT serious about peace. 😡
