![]() ![]() Not only that, but he got into a beef with Mark Cuban for reasons even Mark Cuban doesn’t understand, but let’s not let that overshadow Trump’s lie that Cuban supported him when Cuban actually endorsed Hillary Clinton and called Trump “batshit crazy.“All lies matter. Trump also spread more of his trademark outright lies on Twitter, claiming that protesters as he left his Mar-a-Lago resort were actually massive crowds of supporters that the media wasn’t covering. Again, voter fraud claims are baseless and are only used to promote voter suppression, and Republicans outside of Trump’s team have already spoken against them, with an advisor to Republican governor and Trump primary opponent John Kasich calling them out this time around. In addition, new, unfounded voter fraud allegations came out of the Trump team from advisor Stephen Miller, this time targeting New Hampshire and asserting that voters were bussed in from out of state to cost Donald Trump a victory there. There’s also the Republican infighting still surrounding Trump, with Al Franken saying that some of his Republican colleagues in the United States Senate have concerns about Trump’s mental health. The claim itself is ludicrous enough, but former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer took things a step further by falling for a hoax “paid protest site” and then half-admitting his mistake while making no effort to remove his original misinformation tweet. This resulted in Jason Chaffetz, a Tea Party-backed Republican House member, suddenly deciding, after protests at his own Town Hall, that public outcry is fake, since it’s not on his side. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had to take an alternate route to escape an airport without confronting protesters only to find they’d showed up at his house. Then, there was the matter of Republican Town Hall meetings that didn’t look very good for the GOP-seriously, one featured booing at the mention of the thoroughly false, incredibly tired “death panels” claim against the Affordable Care Act, with a Florida county GOP exec calling the crowd “children”:īREAKING VIDEO: At a Town Hall event, Congressman tells his constituents to “be quiet, children”. Trump’s first press conference with a foreign leader is awkward and embarrassing. They also shared a fairly awkward handshake and an eye roll: ![]() It also seems that Trump wasn’t wearing his translation earpiece during Abe’s planned remarks and was just nodding along, although he’d apparently already read them. They held a joint press conference, during which Abe prevented Trump from cutting things short by at least allowing a second question from a Japanese news outlet to match the two Trump had given to American ones ( The New York Post and Fox Business). Trump also met with Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzō Abe, this weekend. Trump’s official inauguration poster also contains a fairly noticeable typo. At least they’ve clearly made their case that our education system needs some work. Du Bois’ name in a tweet and then also misspelled their initial apology. Well done, “party of Lincoln.” Meanwhile, the Department of Education, which recently saw Education Secretary Betsy DeVos immediately open herself up to mockery after her embattled confirmation, misspelled W.E.B. Let’s get warmed up with the smaller, funnier ones and work our way up to the national security-shaking, fascist ones, shall we?Īs we covered over the weekend, the Republican National Committee’s official Twitter account celebrated Abraham Lincoln’s birthday by tweeting out an inspiring Lincoln quote-in the way that it inspired the Internet to write in their own hilarious quotes, because the one used in the GOP’s tweet did not actually come from Abraham Lincoln. ![]() This weekend alone held enough for an entire four years, so we’ll break it down. Republicans were guaranteed to be in for plenty of embarrassment as soon as their party selected a sentient “red pill” message board thread masquerading around in a human suit as its nominee, but it would’ve been hard for anyone to foresee the full scope of the litany of absurdities that have followed. ![]()
