Nicolle Wallace Defends Biden: Dems 'Consistent' on #MeToo

On her MSNBC show this afternoon, Wallace said, as someone who was once "a part of the Republican party," that when it comes to Tara Reade, "the right" is not being "intellectually honest," and is instead "running a smear campaign against Joe Biden." In contrast, those honest old Democrats are simply seeking "consistency" about #MeToo. Wallace ended her anti-conservative diatribe by warning, "…

As 30 Million Lose Jobs, Redford Sees Climate Salvation Via Virus

Actor Robert Redford is a Trump-hater and climate change nut. And the coronavirus pandemic allows him to indulge in both passions, writing NBC op-eds about how bad the virus makes the president look and how it also presents us with an opportunity to make our post-quarantine lives part of a new climate-conscious collective.

Delusional CNN Rewrites Biden History, Hits MSNBC as Dem's ‘Home Team'

Kimmel Complains Trump ‘Feeding Wingnuts’ by ‘Blaming’ China for Virus

Thursday, President Trump sent the media into their latest tailspin by saying he had seen evidence that the coronavirus originated in a lab in China. This is not a new theory and is actually being investigated by the United States government. But apparently late-night host Jimmy Kimmel knows more than our own intelligence officials. On his show Thursday night, he claimed it was a crazy conspiracy…
