Humiliated Trump Storms Out of Catastrophic SCOTUS Hearing

Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was also appointed by Trump, added to the pressure Sauer faced, asking the seasoned Solicitor General: “Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?”

“Ah, I think... so,” he replied, somewhat unconvincingly. “I’ll have to think that through.”

Is that literally the first time he's thought about that?

Billionaire Ehud Laniado dies during penis enlargement surgery, surgeons banned

Belgian-Israeli businessman Ehud Arye Laniado, founder of Omega Diamonds, suffered a fatal heart attack while undergoing injections intended to enlarge his penis.

...

However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Call me paranoid, but I'd like anyone giving me penis injections to be licensed to practice medicine.

Trump paints himself as great white hope in racism-drenched Davos speech

Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man.

The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.” Trump speaking in front of a US flag. Speak hysterically and carry a big stick: Trump’s foreign policy threats Read more

He lamented that “certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, any more”, blaming culprits that included “unchecked mass migration”. Trump said: “It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves, these beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.”

What came next was pure racism...

That wasn't the pure racism part?

NEW POLL: 49% Trump Was Involved In Jeffrey Epstein Crimes

A stunning new poll shows a whopping 71 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump knew about former pal and currently deceased Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes against underage girls — and a wide plurality say he was “involved in” those crimes.

So that's 71% that said he broke the law and contributed in some way to the abuse whether by direct action or by not reporting what he knew.

That's actually really high. It would be tough to get 71% of Americans to agree on what day of the week it is.

Edit: Looks like it's a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I'm not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.
