While Alexander Skarsgård’s male date at the Emmys and Manu Rios’ sun-soaked photos took over everyone’s social media feeds this week, the political power players were busy doing all sorts of things while nobody was looking. Here’s just a few of the stories that you really need to know about it…

FOUR MORE YEARS: Monday would have been the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade had it not been for the three far-right activist SCOTUS judges appointed by the disgraced ex-president.

Roe v. Wade safeguarded the fundamental right to choose – the freedom of each of us to decide how to live our lives.
The 35-year-old MAGA Republican lawmaker from North Dakota says he’s sorry but is also remaining defiant.

Well… syphilis is a virus that, once you get it, will remain in your system the remainder of your life. Could be all the horse dewormer he was taking has inflamed it. The upside, Al Capone died from it as it ravaged his brain. tRump is not far behind.
“The first symptom of syphilis is typically a painless sore called a chancre, which usually shows up on the genitals, anus, lips, or mouth, where syphilis entered the body. Chancres are usually firm and round but can be open and wet. ”
“Tertiary syphilis invades and damages your internal organs and can be fatal. This stage happens around 10-30 years after infection, and people who have it can experience debilitating health problems like destructive tumors and nerve and brain damage.”
Brain damage… this explains so much and ewwww.
It says chancres are usually firm and round but can be open and wet— or in other words – Melania.
@RIGay: Actually he HAS been bringing up Al Capone lately and I didn’t get what metaphor he was trying to make. Maybe he just identifies with the syphilis part and not the criminal part?
Syphilis is not a virus. It’s caused by a spirochete, Treponema pallidum and can be cured with antibiotics. If not successfully treated it can go through three stages and can be fatal.
Nikki is pandering to GQP aka racists who will NEVER vote for her. What is wrong with her? Delusions are dangerous. I never thought I’d say this but maybe Christie and Trumpf are right about her, she’s just not that bright
“It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who register to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so—end of quote, repeat the line. Women are not without electoral and, or, political—let me be precise: not and, or—or political power,” Biden said during his address.
Yeahhhh. He’s so adept at reading off a Teleprompter. Sure.
Deranged? Hardly, that has happened to everyone. Everyone; regardless of age. Why do you think Biden has spent nearly 40% of his presidency on vacation? Poor thing; he now takes the short staircase into Air Force One in hopes that he doesn’t fall – again. 🙁
ABC: 69% of Americans don’t believe Biden “has the mental sharpness to be president” — up from 43% in May 2020.
What a hypocrite you are Baron. Dismissing Trump’s derangement while acting like Biden is doddering.
Of course, there’s also the addition of Trump being a traitor, a confessed (and prosecuted) sex offender and the man who made it possible to take away women’s autonomy.
If Trump wins and the Republicans overturn Obergefell it’s Baron and Shavers’ fault.
You really need to get some new material. As a former Democrat, I don’t fall for for the same bullshit anymore. There are many gullible fools who lap it up with relish. There is a reason the American public no longer trusts the media you love so much!
But deebee, Baron could care less about that law——————no one wants to get married to this basket case. He[‘s a deplorable. A nasty, right winger with the personality of a dial-tone.
Women’s rights? What about the baby’s rights? I thought Democrats were supposed to care about our societys most vulnerable. What is more vulnerable than a baby?
You are part of a party that relishes the killing of nascent human life. You support a procedure in which the doctor has to count all of the destroyed human parts before completing the procedure.
I gotta say…the only thing dumber is reading comments from Baron. In 2nd, those by decrantcypants. Long, tedious, filled with randoms poll numbers and percentages. Twisted Trolls.
The party of women’s rights, ladies and gentlemen. When a rape survivor with severe PTSD (Paula Scanlon) asks not to shower with male genitals? Tough shit, you dumb transphobic whore. No resources to offer at all. They care about women so much. #metoo Offer up some hashtags, gang.
I gotta say…the only thing dumber is reading comments from Baron. In 2nd, those by decrantcypants. Long, tedious, filled with randoms poll numbers and percentages. Twisted Trolls.”
Yeah, data and numbers from non-partisan news sources (CalMatters) and even liberal ones (The Guardian) that occasionally don’t jibe with your ideological worldview. It’s a damn shame. I should just post lyrics to Jim Croce with random blurts or something.
@Baron: Trump and his lawyers are proud of their legal theory that any (!) president could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival and he couldn’t be prosecuted for it unless he were impeached and convicted. That would mean Biden could do the same thing. No doubt you’d be clutching your pearls pretty tightly in that case.
So odd that supporters of an 80-something white male with a cabinet full of powerless tokens are going after the daughter of Indian-American immigrants on the academic points of racism. They’ve allied themselves unwittingly with Trump, who is disparaging her race outright.
So odd that people who support a 77-year-old white supremacist, sex offender keep talking about the age of a President who at least can finish a sentence without going off on some weird tangent about windmills killing whales.
Joe “Cornpop was a bad dude” Biden consistently goes off message and rambles on when he is not battling his teleprompter!
It wasn’t that long ago when he met Benjamin Netanyahu that he fell asleep, read off of note cards and started a story that he couldn’t finish because he got lost and confused.
Look it up on YouTube. He was a national embarrassment on the world stage.
Trump shoving other world leaders out of the way so he could pose like Superman was an international embarrassment on the world stage. And if you’re complaining about going off message your orange idiot is the king. Going on and on about flushing his toilet 20 times and all the people who allegedly come up to him with “tears in their eyes.”
This thread: “My octogenarian has less dementia than yours? Nuh-uh!” Is it any wonder that USA Today reported that a considerable chunk of voters is staying home this election cycle? Not at all.
“…a President who at least can finish a sentence without going off on some weird tangent about windmills killing whales.”
In March 2023, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers voted to approve an amendment calling for the GAO to independently investigate the environmental review processes for offshore wind development along the Atlantic Coast amid the uptick in whale and dolphin deaths.
Meanwhile, groups like the Clean Ocean Action (COA) have urged the Biden administration to pause wind development as they conduct “immediate and transparent” investigations into the whale deaths, and order a “hard stop to all existing offshore wind industry geotechnical and development activities.”
Democrats have also been increasingly vocal on the issue. Earlier this year, a group of five Senate Democrats, including Sens. Cory Booker and Bob Menendez of New Jersey, called on NOAA to release more information into the “concerning” uptick in humpback and North Atlantic right whale deaths.
“If the death trajectory continues, particularly amongst juvenile individuals, species will begin to disappear,” they said.
Also, I’m still waiting on the documentation regarding “book banning.” You remember, where you just pulled shit out of your ass because it sounded good without a shred of truth. Tsk, tsk.
Also, Baron, you fatuous boob. Billo the Clown is whining about his book being banned, and it went through the same process as all those other books, so is it only banning when it happens to conservatives.
Freddie, are you equating and conflating any criticism of Haley (which would be valid) with the overtly racist commentary of Don the Con (which is distinctive and not at all surprising)?
Nikki Haley’s comments about the US not being racist are absurd. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime in Germany not only praised the US’s institutionalized racist system, but drew upon it in devisting Germany’s various racial (anti-Semitic) laws, which became the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler and his deputies noted that the US laws against miscegenation, its segregative laws (in housing, education, etc.), its Jim Crow system, the US official laxity around racist violence, particularly against African American and Indigenous Americans, the US reservation system, etc., all provided models for the Nazis to follow. This is documented history by reputable scholars.
And this does not even take into account the innumerable other ways in which the US government, US society, individual US states, etc. have enacted and enabled racist policies and practices over US history. Haley is totally off her rocker in her statement. That criticism is distinct from the overly racist comments of her fellow Republican, Don the Con.
I’m a Southern white gay male who voted for Obama twice and would vote for him again if he were running. I’m sick of hearing about racism in America. But yes, there are plenty of racists in America, and there always will be. Some of them aren’t white and aren’t Southerners.
No, I don’t give a damn about Nikki Haley’s answer to a question crafted to trip her up on the tightrope she’s walking.
Great history lesson, however, you conveniently neglected to mention that the anti-black, racist Jim Crow laws that Nazis drew upon were enacted and implemented by Democrats.
@dbmcvey
Slavery ended 150 years ago. I live in the present. I highly recommend it to you for psychological health. Today’s problems are hard enough without bearing yesterdays, too. Especially when you’re carrying them around like a club to beat people.
Apparently, Baron was a happy Democrat in the 1990s and happily voted for Bill Clinton twice, then he somehow found out that some Democrats did some bad stuff in the 19th century and he was so traumatized to learn this that he can’t ever vote for any Democrat ever again! It’s a mystery why he didn’t learn about Reconstruction and Jim Crow in high school history like most of us did (perhaps he was too stoned) but he is a sensitive soul who cares too much about black folks to ever vote Democrat again even for dogcatcher. Makes sense!
FreddieW, I don’t care whether you’re a “Southern white gay male” (and clearly one of the minority who voted for Obama, since a majority of White voters in both elections voted for the Republicans he was running against, and he still won by sizable margins) or a Martian, the history I mentioned stands and is verifiable.
I note that you became defensive and had to mention being Southern and White when I wrote nothing about the South–read my comment–nor did I mention slavery, which lasted for over 200+ years in the US, whether it ended 150 years ago or not. If you’re feeling guilty and fragile, that’s not on me. What is clear, though, is that as is typical, you may be “sick of hearing about racism in America” but many of us are “sick” of having to deal with it and be subjected to it. NIkki Haley’s response is a self-own; she, as the daughter of South Asian immigrants, should know better, and she does!
I was disappointed to read the Andrew Gillum piece, because I didn’t think his “explanations” were helpful. No doubt there was an ellement of truth in what he said, but I thought he relied too much on portraying himself as a victim of circumstances. A lot of talk around the edges without assuming enough personal responsibility in my opinion. And his scandalous demise really hurt the Democratic party in Florida….it’s not all him, but the Florida Democrats seem to have hit a pretty low point and I think Gillum’s scandal has contributed to that.
He’s still not ready to admit to what really happened. Maybe he’s afraid his kids will read about or that his wife might leave him if he fesses up, though I do hope he was a bit more truthful with his wife, but one question I have is: who set him up and was there to snap the photos that that person or persons then sent straight to people in the Florida GQP? How did Candace Owens know about this all right away? The sex worker who was present had to go to the hospital, and Gillum was completely out of it, so who else was there and how did they know he was going to be in that hotel room? If he ever comes clean about what really happened the fuller story of how he was set up and destroyed may also become clearer.
how funny it is to read the same 5 or 6 people passing the buck trying to convince us that their candidates and political party are the best…I don’t know if you know but 43% of your compatriots aren’t interested in your candidates…but hey the same two good dinausaures do everything so that no third voice can be born. Your country is blocked by your dinosaurs. Maybe it’s time for a change?
We know that neither Trump or Biden are the best choices, but those are the choices we’ll have. Maybe it is time for a change but a second Trump term is too dangerous.
Baron, the tweets are the least of it. It’s his actions. And he has promised to be a dictator, I know you’ll say “only on the first day” but that’s still one day too many.
You got it! Spanky’s war on Americans as a result of his gross negligence, incompetence and malevolence when it came to his Covid-19 response needs to be prosecuted!
How can he be prosecuted when more people died under Biden than Trump? And Biden had Trump’s Operation Warp Speed vaccination that you love so much. How many Trump vaccinations have you had? 5? 6?
You never let truth or facts get in the way of one your delightful fictions.
Apparently, prosecution is your answer for everything. Democrats have become the party of election interference. “We must save democracy by ending democracy!!!”
The reason more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump (and continue to do so) is… they were mostly Trump voters who REFUSE to get vaccinated against Covid. You can’t blame Biden for that!
Adam Laxalt lost the Senate race in Nevada because a few too many Republican voters died of Covid before the election. This trend will continue and it’s not Biden’s fault if Republicans are too f*cking stupid to get vaxxed. I assume Baron isn’t vaxxed either, so he can blame Biden if he gets intubated.
Baron – I DID get the Trump vaccine. Did YOU get the Trump vaccine? It’s a shame Trump doesn’t get more credit for it, but as Trump himself says, his rally crowds BOO him if he even brings it up.
So you expect liberals to give him credit, but you don’t expect Trump voters to give him credit?
Trump and Biden are old and need to sit down. Trump is overweight, has sores, rambles, and can’t speak coherently. Biden can barely stand, can’t speak clearly, and stumbles. While the other Republicans and Independent presidential runners are either insane or mentally incompetent relying on conspiracy theories and Twitter as their source of knowledge. The other Dems who are running doesn’t seem experienced enough and has no grit. My god I don’t want Trump to be president ever again and Biden may have better intentions but he’s too old. They are all just a bunch of old thinkers which is why everything feels the same. I want some young blood Dem. Not these old ppl who clearly shouldn’t be in office for senile reasons and not a young Rep who thinks like old lawmakers.
That’s exactly what I said in summary in another comment. And when I read the comments of decrans, Baron and other Republicans (yes decrans you are a Republican, come out, it will do you good). I can’t help but see them as old men resistant to change, dinosaurs. It’s obvious that Trump must not return to power because it’s your country, your economy and your freedoms that will be reduced to nothing. You deserve better than to become the next Russia.Unfortunately, there are 30% of your compatriots who are dragging you down, towards drowning. And Ron Le senteux, is a Whore. He’s sucking on Trump’s feet. Pathetic

Freddie, are you equating and conflating any criticism of Haley (which would be valid) with the overtly racist commentary of Don the Con (which is distinctive and not at all surprising)?
Nikki Haley’s comments about the US not being racist are absurd. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime in Germany not only praised the US’s institutionalized racist system, but drew upon it in devisting Germany’s various racial (anti-Semitic) laws, which became the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler and his deputies noted that the US laws against miscegenation, its segregative laws (in housing, education, etc.), its Jim Crow system, the US official laxity around racist violence, particularly against African American and Indigenous Americans, the US reservation system, etc., all provided models for the Nazis to follow. This is documented history by reputable scholars.
And this does not even take into account the innumerable other ways in which the US government, US society, individual US states, etc. have enacted and enabled racist policies and practices over US history. Haley is totally off her rocker in her statement. That criticism is distinct from the overly racist comments of her fellow Republican, Don the Con.

I’m a Southern white gay male who voted for Obama twice and would vote for him again if he were running. I’m sick of hearing about racism in America. But yes, there are plenty of racists in America, and there always will be. Some of them aren’t white and aren’t Southerners.
No, I don’t give a damn about Nikki Haley’s answer to a question crafted to trip her up on the tightrope she’s walking.

Let it be known, Freddie thinks slavery was ok.

@Kangol2
Great history lesson, however, you conveniently neglected to mention that the anti-black, racist Jim Crow laws that Nazis drew upon were enacted and implemented by Democrats.

@dbmcvey
Slavery ended 150 years ago. I live in the present. I highly recommend it to you for psychological health. Today’s problems are hard enough without bearing yesterdays, too. Especially when you’re carrying them around like a club to beat people.

Apparently, Baron was a happy Democrat in the 1990s and happily voted for Bill Clinton twice, then he somehow found out that some Democrats did some bad stuff in the 19th century and he was so traumatized to learn this that he can’t ever vote for any Democrat ever again! It’s a mystery why he didn’t learn about Reconstruction and Jim Crow in high school history like most of us did (perhaps he was too stoned) but he is a sensitive soul who cares too much about black folks to ever vote Democrat again even for dogcatcher. Makes sense!

@Fred
If you live in the present you should be aware of the lingering effects of slavery.
But then you were raised in the South so your education is spotty.

FreddieW, I don’t care whether you’re a “Southern white gay male” (and clearly one of the minority who voted for Obama, since a majority of White voters in both elections voted for the Republicans he was running against, and he still won by sizable margins) or a Martian, the history I mentioned stands and is verifiable.
I note that you became defensive and had to mention being Southern and White when I wrote nothing about the South–read my comment–nor did I mention slavery, which lasted for over 200+ years in the US, whether it ended 150 years ago or not. If you’re feeling guilty and fragile, that’s not on me. What is clear, though, is that as is typical, you may be “sick of hearing about racism in America” but many of us are “sick” of having to deal with it and be subjected to it. NIkki Haley’s response is a self-own; she, as the daughter of South Asian immigrants, should know better, and she does!

I was disappointed to read the Andrew Gillum piece, because I didn’t think his “explanations” were helpful. No doubt there was an ellement of truth in what he said, but I thought he relied too much on portraying himself as a victim of circumstances. A lot of talk around the edges without assuming enough personal responsibility in my opinion. And his scandalous demise really hurt the Democratic party in Florida….it’s not all him, but the Florida Democrats seem to have hit a pretty low point and I think Gillum’s scandal has contributed to that.
Kangol2
He’s still not ready to admit to what really happened. Maybe he’s afraid his kids will read about or that his wife might leave him if he fesses up, though I do hope he was a bit more truthful with his wife, but one question I have is: who set him up and was there to snap the photos that that person or persons then sent straight to people in the Florida GQP? How did Candace Owens know about this all right away? The sex worker who was present had to go to the hospital, and Gillum was completely out of it, so who else was there and how did they know he was going to be in that hotel room? If he ever comes clean about what really happened the fuller story of how he was set up and destroyed may also become clearer.

how funny it is to read the same 5 or 6 people passing the buck trying to convince us that their candidates and political party are the best…I don’t know if you know but 43% of your compatriots aren’t interested in your candidates…but hey the same two good dinausaures do everything so that no third voice can be born. Your country is blocked by your dinosaurs. Maybe it’s time for a change?
dbmcvey
We know that neither Trump or Biden are the best choices, but those are the choices we’ll have. Maybe it is time for a change but a second Trump term is too dangerous.
Baron Wiseman
@dbmcvey
Yes, those mean tweets at 3am are devastating!
A lot of Americans would love some mean tweets over what our country has become under the Biden Administration. Where is Biden on vacation this week?
abfab
Lame.
Ronbo
I agree, Stefano. If they were smart or incisive comments … it would be another story altogether.
Seems like they are being paid to post by “correct the record” … again.
dbmcvey
Baron, the tweets are the least of it. It’s his actions. And he has promised to be a dictator, I know you’ll say “only on the first day” but that’s still one day too many.
abfab
Blood on his hands from 400,000 deaths due to The Hoax.

You got it! Spanky’s war on Americans as a result of his gross negligence, incompetence and malevolence when it came to his Covid-19 response needs to be prosecuted!
Baron Wiseman
@Kangol2
How can he be prosecuted when more people died under Biden than Trump? And Biden had Trump’s Operation Warp Speed vaccination that you love so much. How many Trump vaccinations have you had? 5? 6?
You never let truth or facts get in the way of one your delightful fictions.
Apparently, prosecution is your answer for everything. Democrats have become the party of election interference. “We must save democracy by ending democracy!!!”
abfab
Wrong again, Mrs Baroness Wiseman. But keep knocking yourself out..please.
still_onthemark
The reason more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump (and continue to do so) is… they were mostly Trump voters who REFUSE to get vaccinated against Covid. You can’t blame Biden for that!
Adam Laxalt lost the Senate race in Nevada because a few too many Republican voters died of Covid before the election. This trend will continue and it’s not Biden’s fault if Republicans are too f*cking stupid to get vaxxed. I assume Baron isn’t vaxxed either, so he can blame Biden if he gets intubated.
Baron Wiseman
@still_onthemark
I’m glad you like your Trump vaccine. Can you imagine Biden doing anything called Operation Warp Speed? Maybe Operation Pudding Time.
dbmcvey
@Baron
Bullshit.
still_onthemark
Baron – I DID get the Trump vaccine. Did YOU get the Trump vaccine? It’s a shame Trump doesn’t get more credit for it, but as Trump himself says, his rally crowds BOO him if he even brings it up.
So you expect liberals to give him credit, but you don’t expect Trump voters to give him credit?
abfab
The drop-out has dropped out. Now get lost. You and your skanky wife.

Trump and Biden are old and need to sit down. Trump is overweight, has sores, rambles, and can’t speak coherently. Biden can barely stand, can’t speak clearly, and stumbles. While the other Republicans and Independent presidential runners are either insane or mentally incompetent relying on conspiracy theories and Twitter as their source of knowledge. The other Dems who are running doesn’t seem experienced enough and has no grit. My god I don’t want Trump to be president ever again and Biden may have better intentions but he’s too old. They are all just a bunch of old thinkers which is why everything feels the same. I want some young blood Dem. Not these old ppl who clearly shouldn’t be in office for senile reasons and not a young Rep who thinks like old lawmakers.
Stefano
That’s exactly what I said in summary in another comment. And when I read the comments of decrans, Baron and other Republicans (yes decrans you are a Republican, come out, it will do you good). I can’t help but see them as old men resistant to change, dinosaurs. It’s obvious that Trump must not return to power because it’s your country, your economy and your freedoms that will be reduced to nothing. You deserve better than to become the next Russia.Unfortunately, there are 30% of your compatriots who are dragging you down, towards drowning. And Ron Le senteux, is a Whore. He’s sucking on Trump’s feet. Pathetic

Well, right-wing, trailer trash is as they do. No surprise there.
