Oh Boy It Never Ends: THE NEWSHOUR (PBS) and a useless piece of trash named Rashida Tlaib

That's Adam Kinzinger. He was a Republican in the House of Representatives when Donald Chump led the attack on the capitol five years ago.

It came close to destroying out country. Adam did his duty. He didn't cave. He didn't cower. He voted to impeach Chump for his crimes.

And later, when Chump ran again for president in 2024?

Adam still did his duty. He spoke out and he endorsed Kamala Harris.

And he was a Republican.

Now let's turn to the traitor trash Rashida Tlaib. Back then she was billing herself as a Democrat -- she's now out of the political closet and claiming what she always was Socialist Democrat.

She and her tramp sister worked overtime to defeat Kamala. They attacked her non-stop.

We knew Chump was capable of leading an insurrection and attempting to overthrow the government but that didn't matter to Garbage Rashida.

She is responsible and as soon as we get the White House back, she needs to be kicked out of the party.

Let me really clear, F**K GAZA.

I live in the US. It's my job to first off address my country's issues. I don't want to hear about that bitch's "people." Her people were supposed to be Americans. But she made it Gazans which means kick her disgusting ass out of Congress. Talk about divided loyalty.

She's not fit to serve.

Trump was never going to save the Palestinians -- and he hasn't, they continue to die -- but that ugly skank, that tired slag didn't care. She just didn't want Kamala to be elected.

Rashida if Donald Chump tries to throw you out of the country, trash, you're on your own. I'm not defending you. I might note it here once to laugh at you. To point out that you got what you deserved.

Our lives have been hell in this country throughout 2025. And you haven't even apologized for what you did.

Typical Karen, typical White woman. And, yes, Rahsida is White -- Arab is White.

So get her racists ass out of our party. She's not welcome and no one ever needs to hear from her again.

Look at all the lives Chump destroyed in 2025.

And that garbage has never apologized.

Rashida, kiss my Black ass.

Going out with C.I.'s "The Snapshot:"

Tuesday, January 6, 2025. Chump and Bondi continue to withhold Epstein documents, envious Pete Hegseth goes after Senator Mark Kelly, Kristi Noem thinks that the American people should foot the bill for putting ICE agents up at a Hilton, and much more.

Let's start with Pete Hegeseth's push-pull same-sex attraction, the root of his hatred/lust for Senator Mark Kelly.

Three times. That's the number of times the 45-year-old 'traditionalist' male has been married. Three. And they don't last. What we're looking at it a man who apparently spent his entire life in the midst of homosexual panic. Gets with a woman because she's got a masculine energy but after awhile? That's not enough for him to get it up. So he moves on to a more mannish wife -- and the current wife, wife number three, looks like a man. Someone who knows Pete didn't buy the hypothesis at first.

But he loves to go to strip joints!

He does, I agreed. He goes to them with other men. The strippers are props, not equals an what he's really there for is to see these men he kind of knows get aroused.

Women are nothing but props for him and that's why he keeps attacking our women who serve in the military.

So we've got Pete horny for men, desperate for men, and he's going after Senator Kelly who represents everything that Pete doesn't. Kelly's honest, he's given real service -- not the mincing and backstabbing that Pete did during his brief service -- "brief service" -- I hear a Pete acquaintance laughing at that. The one who told me about how Pete is all 'don't bathe don't bathe!' whenever he's got one of his man cave weekend. Pete is a joke.

Senator Mark Kelly issued the following statement yesterday:

“Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution — including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

“My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head — all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

“If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.”

The failure that is Pete Hegseth thinks he's going to demote Kelly after the fact? That might last a second or two but it's not going to stand.

And the reason Pete's doing it -- yeah, Pete, I know, I'm that far into your inner circle -- is because he couldn't win a trial against Kelly. Unlike Pete, Mark has a lifetime of service.

And a military trial? Pete was told he'd lose big. He was told any military court would side with Mark. Couldn't take it down to the whore in Florida because this isn't a civilian case.

This is a military justice case and no one was going to convict Kelly of the 'crime' of stating basic military policy in public. That's not a crime. And the military would also see this for what it was -- politicization of the military and that would reject those grounds.

As it was explained to Pete, "You're going to look like a little jealous bitch trying to smear the reputation of a great man."

Pete being called a "little bitch" in the same sentence that another guy is called "a great man?" Oh, you know he was on the phone, "Baby, stop everything and get into bed. It's been a few months but I finally got a hard on again! No, you don't have to put on the Jake Paul mask. Well . . . Put it on, itmight help."

The sad life of Pete Hegseth who could have addressed his panic long ago but instead gets off on humiliation. He must be in heaven every ay because, if you love humiliation, the Donald Chump administration is where you need to be.

Just ask Pam Bondi.

Last weekend, Mike named Pam da Bimbo Bondi "Idiot of the Week" and it may be the only award she's ever deserved to win:

So Thursday morning, I did my pick for Idiot of the Year and had no plan to do an Idiot of the Week this week.

But . . .

When you are so stupid that MORNING JOE is laughing at you, sounds like you're a slam dunk.

Poor Pam, she's just so damn stupid. Adam Lynch reports:

The Guardian reports incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi had no place for ethics training while taking the reins at the Department of Justice.

“I think the reason to fire the senior ethics attorney at DOJ is pretty clear. It’s to send a message,” said Joseph Tirrell, an attorney responsible for overseeing ethics compliance across the agency and training top officers in their obligation. “The message is: ‘Do what we tell you to do, or you’ll lose your job.’”

Tirrell was nearing the end of a July vacation when he got an email from the Department of Justice on his personal account. The notice, signed by Bondi, misspelled his name as “Jospeh W Tirrell,” and did not give a reason for his firing. The Guardian reports Tirrell bosses initially seemed as surprised as he was before confirming that he had indeed been removed from the payroll.

Tirrell, 51, joined the FBI as an ethics lawyer in 2006 before moving to the justice department in 2018. During that time, he fielded requests about whether or not employees could accept certain gifts or attend certain events and other conflicts of interests. He notes that Bondi and her chief of staff appeared focused on questions of whether the attorney general could accept commemorative challenge coins from subordinates in the department during training.

“There seemed to be a lot of importance by these officials placed on [the] appearance of them getting stuff, on the appearance of them showing their willingness to accept that gift,” Tirrell said.

Tirrell recalls telling Bondi: “We’ve pretty much said you can’t accept gifts from employees unless it’s your birthday or Christmas or Hanukkah or a similar kind of holiday where people give gifts,” and added that “We spent more time than I thought was warranted on … whether or not you could accept a challenge coin from whomever.”

The attorney said he caught his first whiff of Bondi’s ethical failings when she received a box of cigars from the mixed martial artist Conor McGregor. The value of the gift, he said, exceeded what Bondi could accept under the department’s ethics rules, so he spelled out three options for her: reimburse McGregor for the gift, send it back, or destroy it.

“Immediately I got the sense they were reluctant to send things back or destroy stuff,” said Tirrell.

“’No, we can’t send it back,’” the administration told him. “’I mean what does that say?’”

A buffoon and a crook. She really found an administration she belonged in, didn't she. It's as though the missions statement when Chump was putting together his cabinet was: Give me your most f**ked up and your most corrupt

That's certainly what he got.

They continue to flounder.

The illegal actions in Venezuela?

Ben goes over that this morning on MEIDASTOUCH NEWS.

In a multi-post attack aimed at the Donald Trump administration, Rep Sean Casten (D-Il) pointed out that the attacks on Venezuela, including an invasion of the country in the wee hours of Saturday, put staffers and military officials alike at legal risk.

In an expansive 14-post tirade on Blue Sky, the Illinois Democrats started off by writing, “The legal justification the WH gave us for attacking Venezuelan boats in int’l waters without Congressional approval was weak, and exposes the WH and military staff to domestic and international criminal prosecution. They have not even sought to justify strikes within Venezuela,” before adding, “Their justification - dutifully repeated by every sycophantic member of the House GOP was that some drugs kill Americans so any international actor who sells or traffics drugs is engaged in war against America. You can drive a bus through that logic, as I noted last month."

According to the lawmaker, nothing that he has heard from the administration leading up to the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife justifies the president's actions.

“Before we left Washington last month we were given a classified briefing by Hegseth and Rubio about Venezuela that contained no classified information other than details on the location of certain military assets that were irrelevant to the question at hand,” he reported before pointing out, “That presentation was disrespectful of Congressional time and power at best. Diversionary at worst.”

The calling out is coming from all over including Marjorie Taylor Greene.

And while she may now be out of Congress, many members of Congress are calling Chump's illegal actions out.

There is no justification for Chump's action. They are War crimes. David Rothkopf (THE DAILY BEAST) observes:

What is happening now in Latin America is not foreign policy. It is not military strategy. It is not statecraft of any sort. And it is certainly not a law enforcement operation. On the contrary, it is a mob heist. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is an effort by a bunch of lawless thugs to use muscle to take what isn’t theirs.

The only way it differs from the day-to-day behavior of the mafia itself is that the soldiers carrying out the boss’s orders are not high school dropouts from Brooklyn or Newark; they’re members of the U.S. military’s elite Delta Force doing so under the cover of the stars and stripes.

Every aspect of the operation is reminiscent of scenes from The Godfather, The Sopranos or perhaps your favorite Scorsese movie.

To start with, Trump looks and acts like a mob boss. In fact, it has often been noted that this president—who used to work in casinos and the building trades—has long emulated the style and affect of now-deceased Gambino family boss John Gotti. (More recently, he has started to resemble Genovese crime boss, Vincent “the Chin” Gigante, who was famous for wandering the streets of Greenwich Village in his pajamas mumbling incoherently to himself. Gigante’s mental decline was a ploy to avoid prosecution, of course, whereas Trump’s appears real—and he has avoided prosecution a different way, with the help of the U.S. Supreme Court, by becoming president.)

David Rothkopf addressed the issue in greater detail on THE DAILY BEAST podcast yesterday.

Last night on MS NOW, Rachel Maddow addressed the ever changing claims of the Chump administration.

Some more commentary and analysis.

Of course, one of the reasons -- one among many -- he launched the operation was to try to distract from the fact that The Epstein Files are not being released. He and Pam Bondi are in violation of the act of Congres ordering the release of the files. Pam has missed every date on the Epstein Act so far, by the way. Jennifer White (THE HILL) reports:

The Justice Department (DOJ) has drawn criticism for releasing only parts of the records required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Many documents were heavily redacted, and some were temporarily removed. The law, signed in November 2025, set a strict deadline of December 19, 2025.

President Donald Trump defended the rollout and said the government had provided more than 100,000 pages. However,

However, on December 31, the DOJ admitted that it had identified approximately 5.2 million pages of records that fall under the law, far more than the 100,000 pages cited by Trump.

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) are among those pressing for contempt measures against Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Schumer said, “Initiate legal actions. This is a blatant cover-up. They are shielding Donald Trump from accountability, and the Senate has a duty to act. The law Congress passed is crystal clear: release the Epstein files in full so Americans can see the truth.”

As we all know, one reason Chump attacked Venezuela was to try to distract from his ongoing Epstein problem. Jennifer White (SACRAMENTO BEE) reports:

A January 7, 2020 email from a New York prosecutor said flight logs showed Trump took eight flights on Epstein’s jet. The trips included at least four with Ghislaine Maxwell aboard.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls, and the email noted that women on other flights could have been potential witnesses in her case.

Only the inept and crooked can serve in Chump's administration. Let's wrap up by noting Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's latest problems. Abby Church and Matt deGrood (HOUSTON CHRONICLE) report:

Houston City Council Member Edward Pollard penned a letter to the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office Monday asking the agency to adopt a policy that would prohibit agents from wearing face coverings during enforcement operations and require agents to identify themselves "as soon as reasonably practicable."

In his letter, Pollard said the agency's tactics, like using face coverings and lack of identification, have damaged his constituents' trust and made encounters with law enforcement less safe.

He cited a recent example where a father and son were pulled over by ICE agents who started banging on their vehicle's windows. The pair fled in fear and found refuge in a nearby store, only for agents to track them down, allegedly tackling and beating the father.

Pollard listed numerous benefits to implementing the policy, like lessening confusion between ICE and local officers to avoid negative interactions and adding a layer of prevention so residents don't try to impersonate federal agents.

"I am a strong advocate of having a secure border and responsible pathway to citizenship, and I am a strong advocate for ensuring all people, regardless of background, are afforded basic human rights and are treated with dignity and respect," Pollard wrote to Houston's Field Office Director Bret Bradford.

The troubles never end for Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem who overseas Chump's gestapo. David Edwards (RAW STORY) notes:

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials cried foul after Hilton Hotels refused service to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The department expressed outrage in a Monday post on X.

"NO ROOM AT THE INN!" the post exclaimed. "@HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement."

"When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations," the statement continued. "This is UNACCEPTABLE. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation's immigration laws?"

Good for Hilton. They're not Motel 6 so that probably confused Kristi Noem. They have a higher end cliental and those consumers really aren't going to want to stay at a place that's helping destroy lives. Sorry for Kristi but I'm sure she knows fleabag motels across the country -- from her own experiences -- that will take anyone and probably she also knows which ones rent by the hour.

And one more thing there, we're not paying for them to stay in pricey digs. Get it? We the American taxpayer are not paying for cushy suites for the gestapo. Chump made members of the National Guard sleep on the floor in California, but we're putting these ICE freaks up at a Hilton? Oh, no, no, no.

We'll close with this from Senator Jack Reed's office:

WASHINGTON, DC -- In response to the Trump Administration’s arbitrary and unscientific changes to the childhood vaccine schedule announcement today, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) issued the following statement:

“It is astounding that at the same time the Trump Administration is making health care more expensive for families it is weakening the health of children and our communities.

“U.S. vaccine policy has long followed the science based on what medical experts in the U.S. recommend is best for children’s health. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is not a doctor, a public health expert, nor a vaccine scientist. This unilateral, non-transparent decision upends that entirely. It isn’t based on science. It will spread confusion and disease. It will weaken public trust in health. And it will likely increase preventable deaths of innocent children.”
