Twitter Clowns Republican Party’s Tweet Highlighting Vice President Kamala Harris’ Cookware Purchase
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: OLIVIER DOULIERY / Getty The divisionary tactics used in politics work as they’re intended because how else does one explain former Buffoon-In-Chief Donald Trump? The Republican Party once again is sowing seeds of dissent after fighting an article that mentioned a cookware purchase made by Vice President Kamala Harris, and Twitter is getting the weak attempt at a dig out of here. On Friday (Nov. 26), the GOP’s Twitter account linked a story from The Washington Free Beacon titled “Kamala Harris Bought $375 Pot on Paris Trip” with the sub-HED reading, “Spending spree at French boutique comes as US families fret over [the] cost of Thanksgiving dinner.” It is exactly the type of headline meant to inspire outrage from Republican and conservative voters w...
Donald Trump mired in ‘self-pity’ as rift with allies deepens amid impeachment
Donald Trump has reportedly reverted to “self pity-mode” following his impeachment amid frustration that his Republican allies are failing to defend him. A White House adviser told CNN “everybody’s angry at everyone” inside the White House following the ratification against the president for “incitement to insurrection.” “He’s in self-pity mode,” the source told the broadcaster. On the other hand, the view among a number of those who are close to the US president is that “his actions led to here, no one else,” the source explained. “He instigated a mob to charge on the Capitol building to stop decertification, he’s not going to find a lot of sympathetic Republicans.” The White House did not immediately respond to The Independent’s request for comment on the claims. The siege on the Capitol...

Woman shot dead in US Capitol was a veteran and Trump supporter
The woman who died Wednesday of a bullet wound during the violent storming of the US Capitol was shot by police, authorities said. The only fatality tied to Wednesday’s unrest was the woman, reportedly a dedicated Donald Trump backer and air force veteran who was among a throng of supporters of the president that invaded the US legislature. Washington police chief Robert Contee said three other people, one woman and two men, had died Wednesday in the area around the Capitol, but did not link those deaths to the violence. Each of the three “appeared to have suffered medical emergencies which resulted in their deaths,” Contee told reporters. Contee said 52 people had been arrested Wednesday, 26 of them on the grounds of the Capitol, for curfew violations, unlawful entry and weapons charges. ...
Carl Bernstein Says 21 GOP Senators Believe Trump Unfit To Lead
Source: Oscar Gonzalez/WENN.com / WENN As President Donald Trump continues his longshot hopes at retaining his seat in the White House, there have been rumblings of Washington regarding his behavior. Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein shared in a series of tweets that nearly two dozen GOP senators have had their fill of Trump and essentially declared him unfit to lead.

House aides–have repeatedly expressed extreme contem...

US election: Donald Trump makes first appearance since ‘defeat’
US President Donald Trump makes his first official post-election appearance Wednesday for what should be a moment of national unity to mark Veteran’s Day, now marred by his refusal to acknowledge Joe Biden’s win. The president visited Arlington National Cemetery around 11:00 am, four days after US media projected his Democratic rival would take the White House. Since then he has not addressed the nation other than via Twitter, and has not conceded to Biden, as is traditional once a winner is projected in a US vote. And with Covid-19 cases shattering records across the country and states imposing new restrictions in a push to contain the virus before winter arrives, Trump seems to have all but shelved normal presidential duties. Instead, he has remained shut up inside the presidential mansi...

The Lincoln Project Takes Aim At President Donald Trump With “Mourning In America” Ad
Source: Chip Somodevilla / Getty A political action committee that has devoted much of its energy in decrying the policies of President Donald Trump just released a new ad slamming the former business mogul. The Lincoln Project, led by George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway, shared the ad titled “Mourning In America,” which makes mention of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The minute-long ad made its round around social media and other outlets, highlighting the economic woes of the United States and how it relates to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. The advertisement is a flip of President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 spot titled “Morning In America,” which was a fluff piece designed to acknowledge how the country flourished under the former actor’s leadership. For the Lincoln Pro...
