The Fulton County jail that booked former President Donald Trump last week reported its fourth inmate death this month on Tuesday. The sheriff's department confirmed that the death took place on Saturday, but offered no other details, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The Rice Street jail has come under intense scrutiny due to conditions at the facility and is currently the subject of a federal civil rights investigation. Earlier this month, three other inmates perished while in custody, including Alexander Hawkins, Christopher Smith, and Montay Stinson. The Department of Justice launched its probe last month, citing allegations that "Fulton County Jail...

MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” said in a few years, former President Donald Trump will be seen by a majority of Americans “as a heinous villainous character in American history.”Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “Congressman Adam Kinzinger, one of the January 6, Select Committee’s two Republican members that in a few years, he predicts, Trump supporters will abandon the disgraced de-platformed, twice-impeached ex-president Donald j. Trump…Donny, I want to start with you here. I mean, what do you think? Do you think Trump could sort of rise and then plunge? I mean, he’s been forgotten before.”Deutsch said,...

Analyzing Trump's presidency, a fascism expert argues he tried to use the office to make money. The historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat described Trump to Insider as a "dedicated" and talented "grifter." When looking back on President Donald Trump's time in office, Ruth Ben-Ghiat sees someone who pursued a unique goal among his predecessors, one requiring extreme discipline and dedication from the unlikely leader. "Trump's aims as president were totally different from any other president, Republican or Democrat," Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University who is an expert on fascism, told Insider. "His aims were autocratic in that he wanted to...

How despairing you feel about these results depends on how charitable you want to be to Republican voters.But the fact that insurrectionist Doug Mastriano is closer to becoming governor than milquetoast centrist Mehmet Oz is to becoming senator should not fill you with warm and fuzzy feelings about the state of the GOP.The charitable explanation for Oz trailing John Fetterman by nine points while Mastriano trails Josh Shapiro by just four is that Fetterman is an unusually strong candidate and Oz an unusually weak one. The 46/37 margin between them doesn’t mean Republican voters prefer election truthers like Mastriano to...

There are truths, and there are truth bombs. Occasionally, though, there are truth nukes. Someone asks Corker about fiscal responsibility. He answers, “Yeah, I’m just over it. Nobody cares. The President isn’t going to deal with it, he made it clear in the campaign.” @WRCB— Michelle Heron (@MichelleWRCB) May 18, 2018 Somewhere Paul Ryan is sitting alone amid the rubble of entitlement reform, all alone and sobbing like Burgess Meredith at the end of that “Twilight Zone” episode.In isolation, that tweet makes it sound like Corker is blaming Trump. Not really. Watch the clip below and you’ll find him...

President Donald Trump's blistering tongue and stinging tweets spare almost no one. But there are two blatant exceptions to his saturating rhetorical fire: Vladimir Putin and Stormy Daniels.

onald Trump’s star turn as an unexpected ally of Code Pink was widely panned last Saturday evening. Standing next to Jeb Bush at the Republican party’s fractious South Carolina debate, Trump seemed determined to indulge the most idiosyncratic of the anti-war movement’s critiques. The invasion of Iraq, he proposed, was based upon a “lie.” Its advocates, he submitted, were engaged not in a mistake, but in a conspiracy. And, worst of all, George W. Bush was to blame for 9/11.

I have been a member of FreeRepublic since February 1998, and in all my years I have ever seen so many Freepers support, and defend such a leftist candidate as Donald Trump. In the old days, any candidate that spouted the rhetoric coming out of his mouth would have been received with unanimous hatred from Freepers. Mitt Romney was met with scorn when he claimed to have changed and was more conservative than his record showed. However, The Donald says the same thing and he is allowed to wear his liberal record as badge of honor, because he has been...
