If Newsom is the nominee I will bust my fat ass to help him defeat that bitchass JD Vance or whomever R’s nominate. Politics is not marriage and y’all act like it’s some blood sacrifice to vote for Democrats. The stupidity exhausts me.
BREAKING: CNN boldly defends their reporter Kaitlan Collins after Trump insulted her as the "worst reporter" and attacked her for being a "young woman" who doesn't "smile" after she asked about the Epstein files.
She really struck a deep nerve this time...
“Kaitlan Collins is an exceptional journalist, reporting every day from the White House and the field with real depth and tenacity," the network stated. “She skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day, which audiences around the world know they can trust.”
The statement was prompted by the "smilegate" incident earlier today—
"You talked about Democrats who were in [the Epstein files]. Elon Musk was also in there, and so was your Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and correspondence that he had with him," Collins said to Trump in the Oval Office. "Did you read those new files that were published by the Department of Justice?"
"No I didn't uh... I have a lot of things I'm doing. A lot of things I'm doing. I don't know," said Trump, who is currently fixated on building his $200 million ballroom and renovating the Kennedy Center. "You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise, it would have been major headlines."
"A lot of women who are survivors of Epstein's are unhappy with those redactions that came out. Some of the entire witness interviews are totally blacked out," pressed Collins. "Do you think that they should be more transparent?"
The recent tranche of Epstein documents do indeed contain an alarming number of redactions that were clearly designed to hide the identities of powerful people. The only legitimate reason for redactions would be to hide images or the names of victims. Redacting the names of people who emailed and conspired with Epstein is indefensible.
"Well, they're also unhappy with the fact that they thought they released too much. You know, I heard that," said Trump.
"And you tell me something else. I think it's really time for the country to get on to something else, really," he continued. "Now that nothing came out about me, other than there was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it's time now for the country to maybe get on to something else, like healthcare, something that people care about."
It's no mystery why Trump wants to move on from the Epstein files. His name is all over them, including heinous allegations that Trump raped, abused, and threatened children. And those are just the files where his name hasn't been redacted. Who knows where else he would be named if the black bars were removed or the rest of the files were released.
"What would you say to the survivors?" asked Collins.
"You are so bad. You are the worst reporter," snapped Trump. "No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for ten years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face."
"I'm asking about survivors," interjected Collins.
"You know why? You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth," Trump said. "And you're you're a very dishonest organization. And they should be ashamed of you."
Deploying a sexist trope like "you should smile more" to a female reporter in the midst of her asking about the sexual abuse of young girls is a disgusting new low for Trump. But at this point, what else do we expect from this demented old pedophile?
Collins appeared on CNN later and spoke to Tapper about the incident. She valiantly chose to focus on the survivors rather than on herself—
“Jake, this is something where the survivors here have been at the center of this, and they have been the people who have said they’re unhappy with what has come out of the Justice Department here so far,” Collins said. "I just spoke to one on Friday night who was saying that entire witness interviews with the FBI were redacted. The entire page was blacked out. And so these are real questions.”
“As the President is saying, it’s time to move on there’s many people, including a lot of his own supporters, who do not feel that way,” Collins added.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Kaitlan Collins!
@RpsAgainstTrump@MikeJohnson you are an embarrassment!!. You can tell how bright red your face was on that teleprompter. You read the room correctly, no one wants jokes
It’s hard to overstate how embarrassing and humiliating Mike Johnson’s UK visit was.
For weeks, he hyped his “historic” speech as the first U.S. Speaker of the House to address the British Parliament. Then, just days before his arrival, Trump renewed his unhinged demands to seize Greenland and slapped tariffs on the UK and other European countries for supporting it.
This morning, Trump piled on with a social media post calling the UK’s Chagos deal with Mauritius “stupid” and “weak,” despite the fact that his own administration supported it.
The British media and politicians, from left to right and center, are now openly criticizing Trump and increasingly viewing the U.S. as an adversary. Mike Johnson, who refuses to criticize Trump under any circumstances, fully deserves this humiliation. Unfortunately, the U.S. and the entire free world will pay the price for Trump’s erratic policies.🇺🇸🇬🇧
🚨NEW: Pete Hegseth is cutting Senator Mark Kelly’s military pension and demoting his rank as punishment for telling service-members to not follow illegal orders in a recent video.
RETWEET if you stand with @CaptMarkKelly against Hegseth!
🚨NEW: JD Vance has attacked former White House Press Secretary and journalist Jen Pskai, telling her to “eat shit” for being critical of the Trump Administration.
RETWEET if you stand with @JrPsaki against Vance’s disgusting attack!
Congress named it the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and it will stay that name.
RETWEET if you stand with the legacy of President Kennedy against Trump!
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
