DISGUSTING Trump nominee BOMBS on SIMPLE questions
Pam Bondi, Trump's nominee for Attorney General, faced tough questions during her confirmation hearing, especially about acknowledging Biden's 2020 victory, which she avoided. She also hesitated to commit to defending birthright citizenship, saying she needed to "study" the issue. While less controversial than Matt Gaetz, Bondi will be a dangerous leader of the Trump Justice Department.
Biden delivers farewell speech while Trump rants about "psychos"
President Joe Biden’s farewell address focused on humility, democratic reforms, and hope, urging Americans to protect institutions and strive for a better future. He reflected on his 50 years of public service, emphasized unity and possibility, and proposed changes like banning dark money and setting term limits for Supreme Court justices.
From yesterday’s show:
Republican clown refuses to say who's drunk in the Senate
During Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, Senator Markwayne Mullin defended him by claiming some senators show up drunk to votes but refused to name names or provide evidence. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed Mullin for proof, but he deflected, undermining his argument. Hegseth’s character issues and Mullin’s weak defense highlight broader concerns about accountability in leadership.
From yesterday’s show:
TikTok PREPARES FOR SHUTDOWN, will they save it?
TikTok's fate will be decided in the next few days as a federal ban could take effect, shutting it down for U.S. users. While concerns about privacy and security are valid, targeting TikTok alone instead of implementing universal standards for all platforms is misguided. TikTok’s balanced political landscape counters the right-leaning bias of platforms like Facebook and X, and banning it would further consolidate power to those platforms.
