Unfit To Lead

On Wednesday afternoon, Donald Trump seemed to endorse the idea of releasing any final report from special counsel Robert Mueller to the public, saying “Let the people see it” and declaring that he had already...

This week, the White House (once again) found itself in a state of crisis, as President @realDonaldTrump's fitness for office was repeatedly called into question. What differentiated this from previous episodes is that the calls all came from inside...

If you’re just now tuning in, Donald Trump, in the wake of the tragic Boeing 737 airplane crash in Ethiopia, which claimed 157 lives, decided to tweet. Naturally, he had no comfort for the survivors or the poor souls affected, he just started tweeting drivel. The blow back is memorable. As a pilot, I'm laughing at you. As an American, I'm weeping that Grandpa Ranty is both yelling at clouds AND in control of our nuclear arsenal. https://t.co/uEDKPQhpme — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 12, 2019 In related news, Space Force tech will be based on the Wright Bros original blueprints — David Rosenthal (@DaveMRosenthal) March 12, 2019 It’s think he’s trying to emulate his North Korean lover, whose every utterance is transcribed a turned into policy. He will take credit for the next modification made by a plane manufacturer. — Richard (@rp6805) March 12, 2019 pic.twitter.com/h9pimnf0hL — Paul Strach (@strachpa) March 12, 2019 Regarding Trump & airplanes, he flew his own airline into the ground. But it could have been much worse because he wanted to stuff the planes with marble, fancy fixtures, and thick carpets that would make them too heavy to fly. He wanted to eliminate required personnel too. pic.twitter.com/gk82aLp482 — Speculawyer 🇳🇴-American (@speculawyer) March 12, 2019 remember when he claimed responsibility for 0 flight related deaths in 2017 fun times — Analytics Plant (@AnalyticsPlant) March 12, 2019 He should cancel these Air Force contracts for new fighter jets. Too complicated! We don't want Einsteins piloting those jet fighters. Go back to dirigibles! pic.twitter.com/jCSowU7HJm — 🦅Mark Hartig🇺🇸 (@markhartig) March 12, 2019 Back to the horse and buggy, telegraph and steamships. Yep. That’s where we should go, with Trump, the visionary, at the helm. Or, how about the dirigibles? Those were hot. When they exploded.

Donald Trump finally got wind of a news story that ran Saturday, depicting how he drinks 12 Diet Cokes a day, watches eight hours of television, and traffics in falsehoods...

Brett Kavanaugh’s story about whether and how much he drank in high school has changed as people who knew him then and in college have chimed in to say that he definitely did drink. A lot. In the latest version of his story, his prepared testimony for...

I am not surprised that Maine Sen. Susan Collins voted yes on Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. That doesn’t make me any less furious. https://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/1048301795980840961 It’s not just that Sen. Collins threw everyone who...

Diana Falzone covered the entertainment beat at Fox. She obtained proof in 2016 that Trump had engaged in a sexual relationship with Stormy Daniels in 2006. Falzone did a lot of work on the story, but Fox wouldn’t run it. Falzone’s story kept getting bounced from one editor to the next until finally Ken LaCorte, head of the Fox News division said, “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go.” Of course LaCorte denies saying this, but one of Falzone’s colleagues confirms hearing about the incident at the time. In any event, the Stormy Daniels bombshell was dead at Fox and a year after Trump was in the White House the Wall Street Journal broke the story. The New Yorker After the Journal story broke, Oliver Darcy, a senior media reporter for CNN, published a piece revealing that Fox had killed a Stormy Daniels story. LaCorte, who by then had left Fox but was still being paid by the company, told Mediaite that he’d made the call without talking to superiors. The story simply hadn’t “passed muster,” he claimed, adding, “I didn’t do it to protect Donald Trump.” Nik Richie, a blogger who had broken the first story about Daniels, tweeted, “This is complete bullshit. Ken you are such a LIAR. This story got killed by @FoxNews at the highest level. I know, because I was one of your sources.” Richie told me, “Fox News was culpable. I voted for Trump, and I like Fox, but they did their own ‘catch and kill’ on the story to protect him.” He said that he’d worked closely with Falzone on the article, and that “she did her homework—she had it.” He says he warned her that Fox would never run it, but “when they killed it she was devastated.” Richie believes that the story “would have swayed the election.” Now, there’s this newest development. Falzone was demoted at Fox, left, and when she did, had to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. Now she wants out of the NDA, so that she can talk about Stormy Daniels and how Fox killed the story.   New: Fox reporter Diana Falzone's lawyer Nancy Erica Smith has issued a statement demanding that Fox release her from her NDA so she can talk about getting the Stormy Daniels story before the 2016 election. — Jane Mayer (@JaneMayerNYer) March 9, 2019 Nancy Erica Smith statement:1.

(statement from Falzone lawyer continued)topic of her reporting in October of 2016 regarding Donald Trump paying hush money to Stormy Daniels, because the public has the right to the truth. — Jane Mayer (@JaneMayerNYer) March 9, 2019 This could become explosive. Stay tuned.
