So Minneapolis is on fire. Because as we all know by now, the best response to a black man being killed by the cops is to steal a big screen TV and burn down the local liquor store. It’s been nearly 6 years since Black Lives Matter got its start in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. Six years, and they still can’t get their heads out of their own rear ends long enough to be marginally decent,…

MSNBC wants you to know the riots in Minneapolis are “not, generally speaking, unruly." Sure, they’ve shaken the city to its core, left at least one person dead and reduced multiple buildings – including the police precinct – to piles of ash. And yes, they’ve spawned multiple similar uprisings across the country where multiple people have been shot.  But they’re definitely peaceful. Because…

Speaking at a press conference on social media censorship, President Donald Trump said he'd love nothing more than to delete his 49 million-follower Twitter account...if the press were fair. Have you given any consideration to deleting your account and just walking away from this platform you've been so critical of?" a reporter asked. “Well you know, if you weren't fake, I wouldn't even think…

Someone please bump the record player – the Maxine Waters track is skipping again. In a move that's about as predictable as a hurricane in July, the California Rep is now blaming Trump for “cops killing black people” after riots erupted over the death of a Minneapolis black man at the hands of a white police officer.  I know. Shocking, right? “My first thought was, ‘Not again. Not one more…

As the country continues to struggle under mass economic devastation and a patchwork of halting tactics to reopen shuttered businesses, CBS News & CBS This Morning correspondent Vladimir Duthiers is upset that President Trump hasn’t yet held an official moment of silence for COVID-19 victims. Because that’s what’s important in this moment. Speaking on CBS Thursday morning, Duthiers alleged…

The Twitter exec now in charge of heading up the site's new “fact-check” effort isn’t exactly the president’s biggest fan. And by that, I mean he once called Trump an “actual Nazi” and a “racist tangerine," among other things. Twitter recently began "fact-checking" claims on its site regarding the coronavirus, weeding out anything the subjectively deem to be "misleading," labeling certain…

Less than a day after Twitter added a brand new “fact-check” feature to President Donald Trump’s tweets for the first time, the president fired back saying that if social media continues to censor conservatives, the government may “strongly regulate, or close them down.” “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives [sic] voices. We will strongly regulate, or close…

After catching flak for not wearing a face mask while posing for some outdoor photos with a few residents in Virginia Beach last weekend – after “encouraging” and even threatening to mandate face masks in public for everyone else – Virginia Gov. Ralph “Blackface” Northam has apologized, excusing his COVID-spewing ways by saying his “mask was in the car.” “I visited the oceanfront with the…
