  • "America's Sheriff" Wrote a Book About Traditional Values. His Phone Kept the Receipts.

    Mark Lamb branded himself "America's Sheriff," ran on God, Family, Freedom, and wrote a book called American Sheriff: Traditional Values in a Modern World. Then the Arizona Republic got his texts: laughing along to the n-word with a border vigilante, years of sexting, and a threat to have a woman arrested if she talked. Trump's endorsement? Still standing.

  • Trump on Somali Americans: "Low IQs," "Stupid People," "Get the Hell Out of Here"

    Twice in ten weeks, the President of the United States stood at a podium and called Somali Americans stupid. January at the White House press briefing. March at a Cabinet meeting. Same material both times.

  • He Dimmed the Lights in the Oval Office and Played the Video. The Crosses Weren't Graves.

    President Ramaphosa of South Africa came to the White House on Wednesday for a trade meeting. Trump had the lights dimmed and played him a video purporting to prove a genocide of white farmers, including footage of white crosses he described as their graves. The crosses were a roadside protest memorial from 2020, not a burial site. A conspiracy theory born in postwar neo-Nazi circles was screened in the Oval Office, by the President, to…

  • Full, Complete and Unconditional. On Night One, He Pardoned Every Last One of Them.

    Hours after taking the oath, Trump signed Proclamation 10887: fourteen commutations by name, a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" for roughly 1,500 others, and orders to dismiss every pending January 6 case with prejudice. The flag carrier, the "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt, the man who thought Hitler "should have finished the job," the seditious-conspiracy chairman serving 22 years... all of it, erased in one signature on night one. Eight days ago the incoming vice president said…

  • "They're Eating the Pets": The Lie Was Dead Before He Told It. The Bomb Threats Came Anyway.

    Sixty-seven million people heard the Republican nominee say Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating their neighbors' pets. The claim had been checked and killed before he said it, and he was corrected on stage as he said it. Six days later his running mate explained the method on camera: "If I have to create stories... then that's what I'm going to do." Springfield's schools are being swept for bombs every morning.

  • The Number Three Republican in the House Ran the Ads. Then Buffalo Happened.

    In the autumn of 2021, Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking Republican in the House, ran Facebook ads warning of a "PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION" in which amnesty for 11 million immigrants would "overthrow our current electorate." Eight months later a gunman in Buffalo killed ten people, citing the theory those ads describe. Her office says she has never promoted replacement theory. The ads are archived, and the word "electorate" is doing all the work.

  • Mike Pompeo denounces "Multiculturalism"

    On his last day of work, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweets, from his official US government account... "Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms -- they're not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker." @SecPompeo 1/19/2021 This is pretty clear that Secretary Pompeo thinks that "multiculturalism" distorts "our glorious founding." Why? Because... White. No dogwhistle needed…

  • "Go Back": Three of Them Were Born Here, and the House Put the Word "Racist" in the Record

    The President told four congresswomen of color to "go back" to the countries "from which they came." Three were born in the Bronx, Detroit and Cincinnati; the fourth has been a citizen longer than his youngest son has been alive. The House condemned the tweets as racist, on the record, 240 to 187. Then a rally crowd chanted "send her back," and he let it roll for thirteen seconds.

  • "Why Do We Need More Haitians?": The President Grades the World's Countries by Toilet

    In an Oval Office meeting on immigration, the President of the United States asked why America takes people from "shithole countries," meaning Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, and suggested more immigrants from Norway instead. He met Norway's prime minister the day before, which is apparently how the shopping list gets written. Senator Durbin was in the room: "He said these hateful things, and he said them repeatedly."

  • "Very Fine People": The President Reviews a Nazi March and Finds It Mixed

    Men with torches marched through Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us." One of them drove a car into a crowd and killed Heather Heyer. It took the President of the United States three days and two do-overs to land on his final answer: there were "very fine people on both sides." This page records all three attempts, because the third one was the honest one.
