BREAKING: Donald Trump's hack lawyer Alina Habba appears on Fox News to defend his falling asleep in court twice in the past few days — and her reason is absurd.

"I just have a second but you know there are two reports both days of him falling asleep in court, any reaction to that?" asked the host. "Is he tired? Has he just been running around a lot or any thoughts on that?"

"If anything he's probably brutally bored," said Habba.

We'll see how bored he is when he's convicted in the hush money trial.

The truth, of course, is that Trump is old, exhausted, and increasingly psychologically defeated. His legal problems are worsening, his finances are in tatters, and his poll numbers are tanking.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump should throw in the towel — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Holy sh*t. When Trump loses Fox News, you know it’s a big deal. Spread this far and wide.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Remember last week when House Republicans were claiming that "Joe Biden and the CBP Secretly Flew 320,000 illegal immigrants into the United States"?

Guess what? They lied. Here are the facts:

- The program is NOT at all "Secret". In fact there is a public website explaining it all.

- The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not facilitate these flights.

- Migrants were vetted and allowed entry through CBP One or various parole programs, which include family reunification and humanitarian reasons.

- The U.S. has been using parole programs to admit refugees beginning in the 1950s

- NONE of these people who flew in are here illegally.

- Biden used his “parole” authority as President, which, under a 1952 law, allows him to admit people “only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”

- What this does is allow the US government to vet people who are seeking safety or visiting relatives and forego the chaos at the border. These people would have been permitted entry through a port of entry.

- The policy allows 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the country monthly if they apply online with a financial sponsor, are heavily vetted and arrive at a specified airport, paying their own way.

BREAKING: The Biden campaign just released this powerful ad highlighting President Biden’s vision for America. Retweet to make sure all Americans see.

[Neil Doherty @DohSr]

Huh?

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

If Biden ever babbled like this, people would say his brain had turned to jelly.

What a week at the 2024 Scotties 🤯

I am so grateful for the opportunity to cover the incredible curling, storylines and athletes.

Congratulations to @teamhoman on the huge win! 🏆

And all the best to Jennifer Jones - an outstanding curling career. We will all miss watching you on the ice.

[Neil Doherty @DohSr]

@TeamHoman Congratulations. Awesome team

@emmamiskew How about the two of you sweeping behind the tee line and Rachel’s big hog line violation. You did get caught going to the official. @CurlingCanada

[Neil Doherty @DohSr]

No no a 1000 times no. K is a one man show NOT a team Player but is a coach killer.

[Stuntman Stu @StuntmanStu]

Love this if it happened

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I see a lot of people now attacking Travis Kelce, perhaps because he's dating someone they don't like, or perhaps because they are outraged that he did a Pfizer commercial to help save American lives.

They show him kneeling years ago to the anthem to protest social injustice.

Anyway, the hypocrisy of it all is almost too much to bear...

[Neil Doherty @DohSr]

Agree but even there they are cash grabs. If they were serious about the safety of children the speed would be reduced to 40 with a large blinking light and a police car in the school crossing zone but ONLY when children were coming to, in or leaving the property.

[Stuntman Stu @StuntmanStu]

These should only be in school zones, this particular one is a cash grab plain and simple

[Neil Doherty @DohSr]

Jim Jordan saw Gabby, a waitress, and made a disparaging comment about her.

At the time, Gabby was a PHD college student who was awarded a full ride scholarship, but she also waited tables for extra money while she was in school!

This is what Jim Jordan said about Gabby. “Stay in school, so you don’t end up like her.”

…”don’t end up like her.” 😡🤯😰 Are you kidding me?! I am so furious I can’t even put to words…

So typical! ANYONE SURPRISED?

Gabby is a successful young lady who still works hard. This happened years ago, but Gabby hasn’t forgotten and I won’t either!

Let this show you AGAIN how Jim Jordan treats and degrades women.

Let this also show you, AGAIN, how he does NOT care about the working class!

Waiting tables is hard work! I challenge you @Jim_Jordan to actually roll up your sleeves and do an honest day’s work for a change and wait tables! I bet you wouldn’t last a half hour!

Please drop a 👠to show support for hard working college students, women, waitresses, and waiters.

Please share this post, so we can expose Jim Jordan for the fraud and hypocrite he really is!
