    The Daily Blast: Stormy Daniels’s Brutal Mockery of Trump Makes Conviction More Likely

    The Daily Blast: Stormy Daniels’s Brutal Mockery of Trump Makes Conviction More Likely

    On Thursday, Stormy Daniels faced tough cross examination from Donald Trump’s attorneys in his hush money trial in Manhattan. By most accounts, she responded with humor and harsh mockery directed at Trump, which helped parry their assaults on her credibility. The ridicule, however, could serve another purpose: It could help convince the jury that Trump had a clear motive for committing crimes related to the hush-money scheme. We talked to former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, who explains how Daniels’s testimony may have damaged Trump more deeply than it first appears.

    The Daily Blast: “Warning Sign” For Trump As Anti-MAGA Vote Surges In Indiana Primary

    The Daily Blast: “Warning Sign” For Trump As Anti-MAGA Vote Surges In Indiana Primary

    In the Indiana GOP primary on Tuesday night, Donald Trump lost 22 percent of GOP primary voters to Nikki Haley. That’s surprising, since Haley ended her campaign two months ago. So it’s clearly a trend: A sizable bloc of Republican voters in GOP primaries has resisted Trump again and again. We chatted with David Drucker, a senior writer at The Dispatch and author of a new piece about the Indiana outcome, about whether President Biden can poach these voters away from Trump and why it’s a warning sign for MAGA in November.

Bravo, Noga!

...26:44 April 3, 2024, “I’m curious, from the three of you, what do you wish Joe Biden had done?” Noga Tarnopolsky asked David, Eddie, and Meir Kahane’s own Rosa Brooks regarding U.S. policy in the Land of the Chosen People of the Kahane Master Race. The Pundits’ responses were, at best, mediocre if not downright pathetic. Bravo, Noga! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

Right?

Please stop saying “Right?” Over and over. This is now a national epidemic, as awful as vocal fry. It sounds insecure, needy of reassurance, bush league, and beneath the intelligence of the show.

Julia Azari gives me hope

Wow! She is amazing. She cut right through my pessimism and I can see a light through the gloom.
