Trumps rise to power has led to such an avalanche of stupidity, that it’s hard to say. Well, I guess it was there all along. Trump just kicked over the rocks, and they crawled out. What stuns me is that Trump found these people. Trump is not a very bright person. He was stunned when he got elected. What surprises me is the absolute lack of spine in congress. This has turned into a completely pointless institution. SCOTUS is another story. But just a bunch of boot licking grifters. How are those vacations Clarence? ---

Yet another of the January 6 scum is going back behind bars. > A 34-year-old man convicted for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, then granted clemency by President Donald Trump, was sentenced on Thursday for a 2025 burglary in Henrico County. > Prosecutors also referenced Alam’s participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. > > Court documents state Alam punched the glass doors of the Speaker’s Lobby, which were guarded by three Capitol Police officers and would later shatter during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. > > Alam also attempted to breach other Capitol doors and threw objects, such as red velvet rope from a balcony, at officers. > > According to Taylor, Alam was previously convicted on federal charges, including assaulting law enforcement officers, civil disorder and destruction of government property. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Kevin Hart had a roast, which is a comedy event where the participants insult each other. One of the attendees was a guy named Tony Hinchliffe, who is a MAGA comedian. You may recall that he performed at a Trump rally where he referred to Puerto Rico as a floating trash heap. > **[Tony Hinchcliffe: Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico...](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9jj2g75q4o)** > > Republicans join Democrats to condemn Tony Hinchliffe for his comments at the New York event.

Damn, Handler absolutely destroyed Hinchcliffe there. And rightly so. On a side note, now that it’s been mentioned elsewhere I can’t unsee the fact that roastmaster Jeff Ross (the bald guy in the red plastic suit in that video) looks like Zoidberg without his shell.
