Above photo: A banner promoting Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez burns after being set on fire. Rodrigo Abd/AP. For Biden, backing a candidate for the November elections in Honduras is a choice between protecting U.S. business interests and condemning the corruption, drug trafficking, and violence that increase migration. Of the countries in Central America’s “northern triangle,” Honduras is the one that sends the most migrants to the United States. Already this year over 32,000 Honduran migrants have been deported from the United States, including more than 2,600 children. The country’s president, Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH), was supported by President Trump because […]

Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) helped get Trump impeached, but now there’s a new battle: his SCOTUS pick. She worked within the government’s Internal Affairs department and became one of the impeachment managers in Trump’s case after 27 years as an Orlando police officer. And impeached he was. So on this members-only bonus episode of The New Abnormal, co-host Molly Jong-Fast asks for her thoughts on Trump’s SCOTUS appointment and how exactly Democrats and citizens alike can stop it.

“A virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all,” the New York Senator says, suggesting the decision on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett should be postponed, despite Senate already using the practice throughout pandemic. “If it’s not safe for the Senate to meet in session, it’s not safe for the hearings to go forward,” Chuck Schumer said at a Sunday press conference. The Senate has already cancelled meetings this week due to several senators, including two on the judiciary committee, revealing they are positive for Covid-19. The idea of virtual hearings has been suggested, but Democrats have been resistant to the […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher took a victory lap. For years, the Real Time host has predicted that Donald Trump would refuse to step down from the presidency should he lose re-election—and this past week, Trump publicly announced that he would not commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose. “This week, the president fuckin’ flat-out said it—what I’ve been saying he’s going to say forever: he’s not leaving,” explained Maher during his monologue. “The law-and-order president refused to commit to the peaceful transference of power should he lose. I mean, even banana republics are like, this is bananas. […]
President Donald Trump’s hope for a “straightforward and prompt” confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was immediately dashed, as Democrats reacted with a host of arguments for blocking the appointment. Senator Dianne Feinstein said Barrett would push the court further to the right, jeopardizing “many rights and protections that the American people have fought for and deeply cherish,” including abortion. In any case, Feinstein said, the Senate shouldn’t consider any nominee to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg until the Nov. 3 election has been held and the “next president has been inaugurated,” apparently ruling out the possibility […]
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, picked by President Donald Trump for the US Supreme Court, has said a judge’s policy views must play no role in their decisions ahead of what is expected to be a highly-politicized confirmation process. Speaking alongside Trump in the Rose Garden, minutes after he officially tapped her to fill the SCOTUS seat left vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Barrett reaffirmed her commitment to the judicial philosophy of her mentor, former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “I clerked for Justice Scalia more than twenty years ago, but the lessons I’ve learnt still resonate. His […]

US President Donald Trump has been eager to fill the vacancy before the presidential election, a desire met with criticism by Democrats. US President Donald Trump announced Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nomination pick on Saturday, during a speech in White House’s Rose Garden. “Today it is my honor to nominate one of our nation’s most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court.

In September 1996, the rapper was shot and killed in Las Vegas, but conspiracy theories continue to suggest that he faked his own death.

A set of politically charged books was immediately spotted just behind the UK prime minister’s back as he spoke in a rambling manner about the importance of sending schoolchildren back to their classrooms after a lengthy coronavirus lockdown, and the frustrating public exams fiasco. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a roomful of Leicestershire school pupils it is politically acceptable to sing Rule Britannia and ruled that Harry Potter is not sexist, but it was the choice of books behind the top speaker that caught the eye of super-attentive internet wags. Many of them appeared to feature rather pointed titles, with the […]
…by Jonas E. Alexis Cornel West has said that Donald Trump is a catastrophe and a gangster, and Joe Biden is a slow disaster. If he were given only two choices, he said, he would regrettably vote for a slow disaster. I wouldn’t vote for a catastrophe or a slow disaster. The third choice is to put those criminals behind bars. They are the very people who have perpetually lied to the American people for decades. They lie every four years. They lie every year. And they are lying right now. They want your vote so that they can continue their […]
Five women are said to be at the top of former Obama Vice President Joe Biden’s list of potential vice presidential running mates, according to a report by NBC News citing sources “familiar with the matter.” Biden, the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, has taken advantage of the month delay of the party’s Milwaukee convention, now set to start August 17, to announce his pick for V.P. Biden and Whitmer, file image. Among the five is newly relevant contender Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) whom Biden interviewed last Sunday at his Delaware home.

Before the first votes were even cast in the primaries, the dream ticket for many Democrats was Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The fiery senator from California would diversify and energize Biden’s last hurrah, carrying the torch for a new generation. Then came her ill-fated broadside against Biden over busing and a campaign rife with in-fighting before she exited the field with mixed reviews. Yet here she is, atop the field of contenders, the most likely choice for vice president—but with some static. “A lot of people are looking to shove that knife in her back,” says a Democrat affiliated with […]
What is the sound of one hand clapping? What would happen if I hired two private detectives to follow each other? The first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. The first rule of becoming the president, if you’re a woman, is you absolutely cannot want to be the president. CNBC reported that some “allies” of Joe Biden are “waging a shadow campaign” against veepstakes frontrunner Kamala Harris, on the grounds that she’s “too ambitious” to be the vice president because what she really wants is to be the president. That report came days after former Sen. […]
In her very first segment as a primetime host on MSNBC, Joy Reid welcomed former Vice President Joe Biden for a largely conflict-free interview that touched on everything from President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic—“He’s surrendered,” Biden declared—to his own complicated history on criminal justice reform. For her final question, Reid brought up an issue that she has been pressing on her weekend show, AM Joy, for several weeks. “Most African-Americans that I’ve talked to on a daily basis are very concerned that Black women in particular have been the heartbeat of the Democratic Party for a long time, […]

With Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by this much, would his vice presidential pick even make a difference? Political strategist James Carville joked that Biden could win even if he chose Sarah I-can-see-Russia-from-my-house Palin as his running mate.

Attack from the right, attack from the left, attack from the center, attack everywhere,” he explains.

I figured, why not make a cocktail out of that?” When would you serve this drink? “This is definitely a brunch drink.” […]
Val Demings, a rising star in the radical Democrat party and a member of the House Impeachment panel, is being called on the carpet by a left-wing outlet in Orlando for her record as Orlando Police Chief. Biden’s consideration of Demings has angered the Black Lives Matter mob, as we reported on last week. Amid all of the calls for police reform, which President Donald Trump has swiftly acted on, we are confronted with the rabid mob of anti-cop BLM and Antifa activists who want nothing more than an anarcho-communist society. Val Demings, a former law enforcement officer herself, has refused […]
