Bozo MAGA politician Nancy Mace said mice were being used for “transgender experiments” and it was a mortifying self-own for the ages
20 June 2026 @ 8:41 am
Never doubt that Trump-supporting MAGA bozos won’t keep finding new ways to embarrass themselves. Enter Nancy Mace. We’ve covered the Republican Congresswoman’s idiocy before – such as her grovelling bootlicking tweet about Donald Trump or her claim that things would be much worse in America if Joe Biden were still in charge.

19 June 2026 @ 5:51 pm
The Trump Administration never lets facts get in the way of their narrative. So when JD Vance stepped up to the podium at the White House to explain the new peace deal between the United States and Iran, it was time to buckle up for some spin. The Vice President didn’t just massage the details […]

Here’s what Trump reportedly told an American broadcaster: ‘She […]

19 June 2026 @ 12:27 pm
