BREAKING: LOL! The Daily Show destroys Ivanka Trump for failing to "read the room" by bragging about her private Epstein-esque island as Americans struggle just to afford groceries.
Marie Antoinette had more tact that this...
“It seems like every day, there’s more depressing news about the economy,” said Anchor Michael Kosta. “Gas is $5 a gallon. Raspberries are $8 a pint, which sucks because my backup plan was to fill up my car with smoothie. Now, despite all this, it’s inspiring to know that even in these tough times, there are everyday Americans out there who are still able to make it work...”
The show played footage of Ivanka boasting about the $1.4 billion luxury hotel that she and her corrupt husband Jared Kushner are developing on an Albanian island in the Adriatic Sea. That would be the same Kushner who sold out our foreign policy to Saudi Arabia in return for a $2 billion investment in his firm after Donald Trump's first term.
Thankfully, the people of Albania are rising up against Kushner and Ivanka with widespread protests and growing calls for a full-scale investigation into the project. It turns out that working class people don't take kindly to foreign oligarchs sweeping into their country with ill-gotten capital to snatch up coveted local real estate.
“Let’s give it up for this couple," said Kosta, clapping mockingly. “And for those of you who are thinking, hey, before buying a private island, shouldn’t billionaires maybe read the room? What you don’t understand is, the island doesn’t have rooms yet. They can’t lay the foundation for those rooms until they burn down all those stupid trees, OK?”
The fact that Ivanka feels comfortable rubbing this development in our collective face as her father forces us to penny-scrape, cut back on expenses, and go without vacations because of his tariffs and pointless Iran War is absolutely infuriating. It just shows that these people live in a completely different world. It's not just that they don't care about our financial suffering, they don't think about it at all.
“We were on a friend’s boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that’s how we found it," Ivanka said. "We swam to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way, up to the top. And we were just captivated.”
“I feel ya, girl. I feel ya," mocked Kosta. "Been there, done that, except instead of the Mediterranean, I was swimming in the Hudson River. And the island I hiked barefoot was Staten Island. And instead of buying it, I stepped on a needle and got HPV. But I feel you. I feel you.”
Absurdly, Ivanka is trying to pitch the nakedly mercenary development as part of some personal spiritual journey, calling it a "tangible manifestation" of how she "wants to live."
“Come on, lady. You’re rich, and you bought an island! Just say that," said Kosta.
When Democrats retake power, we must launch full forensic investigations into all of these shady deals. It's high time these crooks were held accountable.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!
Dear MAGA Election Deniers: Cry harder.
Steve Hilton, the Republican nominee for CA Governor, said “we’ve seen nothing that would give us cause to intervene.”
MAGA pedophile pig, 44 yr old Brandon Abbott of Morgantown, Indiana, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for raping a 7 year old girl. May Big Bubba rip him a new one! ✅ https://t.co/I7Zy28sSIu
Screw worm has now been found in a family pet in New Mexico.
There's likely 1000's of cases at this point.
Great job America!
Who could have guessed that the guy that killed a million Americans, & hires people from central casting, would have fucked everything up again.
Susan Collins' reputation as some unproblematic "moderate" is a total fiction.
She's broken transparency laws, enriched herself massively while in office, and cosigned 99% of the Trump agenda.
She needs to go.
Mike Lee demands that Pete Hegseth immediately reverse the new Pentagon policy that excludes Mormons from DOD’s list of recognized Christian denominations. He says it is “offensive” and “repugnant.”
Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.
Men claim to be ICE agents—block father carrying his baby girl from making their flight inside airport.
"They want to kidnap me!" he yells for help.
"I have my baby daughter... You have no heart—don't touch me!"

They were heading from Denver, Colorado to Miami, Florida with their baby daughter—when these alleged ICE agents tried to detain them.

I will not be distracted.
Trump’s name is all over a Pedophile File.
This is a huge story.
His name appears third to Epstein and Ghislaine.
He was more than just a pedo customer. He was a part of the enterprise.
Children as young as 9 were abused and Blanche will do absolutely anything to not reveal the abusers. #DemsUnited

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
