Why is Don Jr.’s ex threatening to overthrow Greece?
Everything is terrible in Trump’s America, but it’s important not to forget that it is also very stupid. It turns out that when you let a mush-brained despot like President Donald Trump back into the White House, you get the sort of tacky despot behavior like exiling the ex-girlfriend of one of the despot’s large adult sons—himself no doubt a burgeoning baby despot—to a faraway land. And then…

Yet another FBI co-babysitter bids the bureau bye-bye
Andrew Bailey, the co-deputy director at the FBI, is out the door. And yes, this is a story of how the administration is in comical disarray, but it is so, so much stupider than that, because of course it is.

Hegseth begs for mail-in votes while Trump trashes mail-in voting
It seems like the fact that things are getting hella dire for the GOP’s midterm election prospects may just have broken through the fog of war. Or, because we’re talking about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, it’s more like it broke through the fog of nicotine pouches, cheap whiskey, and testosterone injections. Hegseth faced his fears by filming a video, one where he is exceedingly shiny…
