The Republican Party “shit the bed so bad” on Tuesday night.
That’s how one longtime GOP strategist who worked on several high-profile 2022 races put it just hours after midnight. The operative wasn’t alone in his misery: A total of 16 Republican strategists, grassroots activists, Donald Trump confidants, and elected officials began venting to Rolling Stone Tuesday night (some completely unprompted) about the party’s disappointment midterm results. The general sentiment: The GOP had historically botched the midterms, had good reason to panic, and should feel humiliated.

As Donald Trump weighs his White House chances for 2024, there’s one race where, at least in his own mind, he’s already running: the “Fox News primary.”
In recent months, according to two people familiar with the matter, the twice-impeached ex-president has routinely obsessed over Fox’s coverage of him versus his potential Republican primary rivals. That obsession kicks up a notch when it comes to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. One source recalled Trump suddenly dropping into conversation a question regarding how much Fox News airtime DeSantis had enjoyed lately.

Last week President Trump went back to an often-used excuse he deploys when facing backlash for saying dumb things: sarcasm. But Trump historically has run into problems while attempting to bail himself out of trouble with the word, thanks to his inconsistency in using it correctly and how obvious and transparent it is that he’s lying.

By Sydney Levine & Peter BelsitoThe film follows Steve Bannon from when he left his Trump affiliation in summer 2017 to recent months.
Much gentler than the Erroll Morris’ picture American Dharma which nobody wanted to pick up for distribution because his insane brilliance is there for everyone to cringe upon seeing, this fly on the wall portrayal of Bannon sometimes is spread too thin with activities of a dangerous man constantly on the move and whose entire being is dedicated to pushing forward his vision.
Producer of The Brink, Marie Therese Guirgis, worked with Steve Bannon when he was head of the Us film distribution company Wellspring. They kept in touch and over many years and requests, she finally persuaded him to make this movie.

The director/ cinematographer, Alison Klayman, had seemingly free access to the man and his meetings.

Just days after being indicted, Roger Stone continued his media blitz Sunday appearing on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos asked Stone about possibly cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, as Mueller has not asked to speak with Stone to date: “Are you prepared to tell the truth about your dealings with him to the special counsel, the truth about your dealings with the campaign?”
Stone’s answer contradicts itself. He first said that he would speak with Mueller about wrongdoing by people that he knows about.

Until now, the Russian infiltration of the National Rifle Association has looked like a sidecar to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 election.
The prosecution of Maria Butina, the lifetime NRA member who in December pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges of seeking to act as a foreign agent, was handled outside the Special Counsel’s office, by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia — giving the impression that Mueller had bigger fish to fry.
But Mueller may have had the NRA in his sights all along.

Former Donald Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone admitted, as part of a settlement in a defamation suit, that he used the right-wing conspiracy-theory website InfoWars to spread lies and misinformation.
As part of a settlement, Stone agreed to buy newspaper ads and publish a statement on his Facebook and Instagram accounts apologizing to Chinese businessman Guo Wengui for falsely claiming he had been convicted of financial crimes and violated U.S. election law by making political donations to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“All of these statements are not true,” Stone acknowledges as part of the settlement first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Stone acknowledged that he should have done his own research, and instead he relied on information from former Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg.

Roger Stone admitted to spreading lies on InfoWars and will apologize for his conduct on his social media platforms and in several national newspapers, according to the terms of the settlement with Chinese billionaire, Guo Wengui.
“Roger Stone retracts and apologizes for statements he made regarding Guo Wengui,” Stone said in a statement that included a list of falsehood he admitted to spreading. “Recognizing my errors, I reached out to Mr. Guo and asked him to settle his defamation lawsuit against me. Mr. Guo graciously agreed to accept my regrets and apology.”
Among the false statements were claims that Guo had been found guilty of financial crimes in the United States and has violated U.S. election law by making donations Hillary Clinton and even a nascent presidential campaign for Steve Bannon — who Guo is known to be close to.

Though Michael Cohen once said that he’d take a bullet for Donald Trump, the president’s former attorney and fixer might flip on his former employer following the FBI’s April raid of his apartment, office and hotel room. For months, the mere possibility of Cohen turning on Trump remained hypothetical, but it now seems likely to happen.

CNN anchor Erin Burnett was not impressed with the White House’s walkback of Donald Trump’s press conference in Helsinki.
After the president insisted Tuesday that the whole issue could be explained by a single misspoken word, Burnett openly suggested the White House thought the American people were dumb.
“How stupid does Trump think we Americans are? The president’s excuse for his embarrassing press conference where he sided with President Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence chiefs does not add up,” said Burnett in an unusually strong opening monologue on her “Outfront” program.

One of the wildest weeks of all of the wild weeks of Donald Trump’s 15-and-a-half months as president — yes, it really has only been that long — continued on Wednesday and Thursday with Trump’s new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, telling anyone who would listen, including interview spots on Hannity and “Fox and Friends,” that Trump totally knew about Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels off after Trump spent the last couple months denying that. And in a new edition of “A Closer Look” on Thursday, Seth Meyers was exasperated by the whole thing.
“So now the president’s lawyer has admitted that the president lied when he said he had nothing to do with the Stormy Daniels hush payment. And yet, Trump supporters have been twisting themselves in knots to justify his lies,” Meyers said. “For example, right after that [‘Fox and Friends’] interview aired, Arizona Republican congressman Andy Biggs had this to say about Giuliani’s admission.”
“Late Night” then played a clip from Fox News in which Biggs made the following strange assertion: “I don’t think somebody with President Trump’s income level actually maybe writes all his checks, you know what I mean? It would not surprise me if, yes, he authorized the payment and, you know, it just gets kind of lost in the shuffle. I know that sounds crazy perhaps on a certain level.”
Also Read: Colbert Has High Praise for Rudy Giuliani: 'There's Something Kind of Admirable About Being That Bad of a Liar' (Video)
“No, it sounds crazy on every level,” Meyers said. “And it begs the question: if a $130,000 payment to a porn star can get lost in the shuffle, what else is in the shuffle? Seriously, how do you lose track of a hush payment to a porn star? Can you imagine Trump with a green visor trying to balance his checkbook?”
After trying to imagine just how that scenario might go (it involves Trump marking the hush payment as “fun stuff”), Meyers presented a theory on why it is that Trump surrogates keep doing this kind of thing on live TV.
“The question still stands: why did Giuliani do this? And here’s what I think is going on every time someone in Trump’s orbit gets a close up look at the Mueller investigation, they freak out. Remember Sam Nunberg or Carter Page? Once they saw how serious Mueller’s team was they went on TV and had meltdowns,” Meyers said. Nunberg famously spent nearly an entire day on CNN, smelling of alcohol according to CNN anchor Erin Burnett, trash talking everyone associated with Trump after being served with a subpoena by Mueller’s team.

“And the same thing is happening with Giuliani because it’s finally dawning on them that this investigation is not going away any time soon. Just last night another former trump aide, Michael Caputo, went on CNN after being interviewed by Mueller’s team and stressed repeatedly how tenacious the investigators were.”
Caputo said in the clip Meyers mentioned that “I think the Mueller team knew more about what I did in 2016 than I knew myself. And I think they know more about the Trump campaign than anyone that ever worked there.” Caputo also compared the whole thing to “a proctology appointment.”
That makes sense. Because Trump is definitely pulling his answers out of his a–,” Meyers said.

“So Trump’s own lawyer is now telling us that he lied about a hush payment to a porn star. Which raises the question: what else is he lying about? At this point, we should just assume the answer is everything.”
