Trump loses it over Jimmy Kimmel's return in unhinged new rant, then threatens ABC

America's wannabe dictator threw an absolute fit last night on social media, about an hour before Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves from a weeklong suspension triggered by Trump's own FCC. Donald thumbsmashed, "I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!" A couple things: Jimmy Kimmel does not work for ABC News. Also, the late-night host was suspended, not canceled, despite Lord Goldemort's apoplectic claim declaring otherwise. Trump wasn't finished: "Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution." Unfortunately for Donald, the best of his knowledge is, in fact, no knowledge whatsoever. But that didn't stop the MAGA cult leader from threatening ABC with yet another lawsuit, exclaiming, "I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings." Folks, we can't be "led" by a humorless, tyrannical man-toddler forever, but please know you aren't alone if these past nine months have felt like an eternity.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Jimmy Kimmel eviscerates Trump in triumphant TV return

The late-night host delivered a pitch-perfect monologue after his infamous suspension and pulled zero punches lambasting Donald Trump for his authoritarian and deeply un-American assault on free speech. "The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke," Kimmel stated to raucous applause. No one was more complicit in Trump's unconstitutional scheme to piss all over the First Amendment than FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, and Kimmel had plenty to say about him, as well, before dropping an absolute hammer on the ratings-obsessed brat boiling over with anger in the Oval Office. Roll the tape!

Shortages force Gaza women to suffer humiliation and discomfort

USA for UNFPA: 700,000 women and girls of menstruating age live in Gaza, including thousands experiencing their first period under bombardment and in filthy, cramped displacement camps with no chance of changing in privacy. 10 million sanitary pads are needed every month, but less than a quarter of that is available to ease the indignity and discomfort of Gazan women. The United Nations Sexual and Reproductive Health Agency (UNFPA) is leading a drive to provide 2,500 Dignity Kits to women and girls in Gaza, making sure they have menstrual products, soap, toothbrushes, and clean clothing so women in Gaza, the West Bank, and in crisis regions around the world can maintain their dignity and hygiene, even in the darkest of times. Each kit costs just $15 to produce! Will you chip in to help ease the suffering of some of the world’s most vulnerable women?


Trump administration rehires hundreds of federal employees laid off by DOGE
After seven incredibly stupid months it has finally come to this. HUNDREDS of federal employees randomly targeted by Elon Musk's criminally stupid and comically ineffectual DOGE department have been formally asked to return to work. The General Services Administration — which employed 12,000 people at the start of the Trump administration and was a primary DOGE target — gave hundreds of suspended employees until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. Those who accept must report for duty on Oct. 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation, during which time the GSA — funded by taxpayers, of course — continued paying for hundreds of leases in unused federal office spaces managed by the GSA. While we don't yet know precisely how many millions of dollars Elon needlessly squandered, DOGE will go down as one of great follies in American politics — a cruel and pointless crusade inspired by a meme and orchestrated by a ketamine-addled megalomaniac setting fire to house money.

Democrats win another key House seat, further narrowing Republicans' razor-thin majority
Democrat Adelita Grijalva — a former county supervisor and daughter of the late Rep. Raul Grijalva — has won a special election in Arizona’s seventh district, narrowing Republicans’ slim House majority even more. Grijalva walloped Republican Daniel Butierez with 71% of the vote as of last evening, meaning we're one critical vote closer to forcing the release of the notorious Epstein files. Speaking of...

Anonymous statue appears on National Mall celebrating "long-lasting bond" between Trump and Epstein

Sure, Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy and an abhorrent agent of chaos who gleefully palled around with the world's most infamous pedophile, but he is ALSO a petty, vainglorious, vindictive, little man deserving of ridicule and derision for the rest of his immoral days. We must hold him accountable for his many crimes, but we should also never stop laughing. Hats off to the brave patriots who erected this stunning masterpiece on the National Mall. Maybe we'll be okay after all.

Trump picks Florida parking lot for his presidential library, wants to add a hotel to the property

Donald has apparently selected a location for his future presidential library, and, well, the fraudster is never not on brand. Trump officials announced the future MAGA shrine will be built near the Atlantic Ocean waterfront in south Florida, on a parking lot currently owned by Miami Dade College. No joke, Lord Goldemort's team is also talking about building a luxury hotel on the property. We don't want to break the internet, but we've laid eyes on some of the design plans. Looks so familiar...


Trump responds to Javier Milei's failed libertarian, "austerity" policies with a US taxpayer bailout for Argentina
Javier Milei swept to power in Argentina in 2023 as an unabashed, far-right populist — a South American Donald Trump, if you will — who promised to tackle his country's high inflation with severe austerity measures fueled by a self-described "anarcho capitalist" ethos. He had the full-throated support of Trump, of course, who lavished praise on Milei late last year during a visit to Mar-a-Lago, stating, "The job you've done is incredible. Make Argentina Great Again, you know, MAGA. He’s a MAGA person." Yeah, we know. Javier famously gifted Elon his stupid DOGE chainsaw. On Monday, less than a year later, Milei arrived in New York for this week’s meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, begging for help as Argentina’s economy continues its freefall and reels from nearly two years of his disastrous economic austerity program. $32 billion in bailouts from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank earlier this year apparently haven't done the trick — and wouldn't you know it — the Trump regime is now putting American taxpayers on the hook to keep the nation of 45 million from slipping further into economic catastrophe. How many more times will we throw right-wing populism noodles at the wall before we finally realize they never stick? Enough already.


UN spokesman says Trump’s team at fault for escalator and teleprompter snafus
Donald had a rough day in New York yesterday, and he's apparently demanding his team produce a scapegoat post haste. The MAGA cult leader first encountered technical difficulties with an escalator at the United Nations headquarters, then his teleprompter went down while he was addressing the UN General Assembly. Forced to go off-script, calamity predictably ensued. The White House was quick to blame UN employees, and Trump officials angrily demanded a probe into both snafus. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined Jesse Watters on Fox News last night, where the pair breathlessly declared the incidents "sabotage" and blamed the hiccups on "UN globalist staffers," without evidence, of course. The UN was quick to respond, and they brought receipts. According to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, Escalatorgate was actually caused when a videographer who was accompanying Trump and the rest of the US delegation ran ahead of the president and accidentally set off a "stop mechanism" safety device at the top of the escalator. Oops. Regarding the teleprompter, a UN official "speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue" said the fault for those problems was with Trump’s team as well, because the White House was operating the teleprompter. Tsk, tsk. You love to hate to see it.


Trump cancels meeting with top Democrats as government shutdown looms
A reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, but that won't deter Donald and his MAGA minions from blaming Democrats for their own dysfunction and incompetency.

Cool, cool, cool. Will definitely remember the next time diet Tucker Carlson tells us violent political rhetoric is only a problem on the American left.
