When does the Kimberly Guilfoyle American Express ad drop? 💳
NEW An incredible, but not surprising, story in the Wall Street Journal about Kimberly Guilfoyle, US Ambassador to Greece. Just six days before her Senate confirmation hearing to become ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle urgently pressured a Trump donor to pay $100,000 directly to her American Express account, telling him, “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” messages obtained by the Wall Street Journal reveal. “Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,” she said to Eric Deters, a Trump supporter who was seeking her help with a dispute over tax deductions and some policy matters he wanted pursued. Deters said Guilfoyle promised him that if he came up with the $100,000 to pay her American Express bill, “I will be your Trump ride or die, forever and ever.” He said she ultimately delivered nothing. Deters had paid Guilfoyle $300,000 over several years for speaking appearances. Guilfoyle boasted to Deters about her extraordinary access to the Trump administration: “Every secretary of you know defense, transportation, treasury commerce IRS commissioner everyone gets right back to me.” Guilfoyle also specifically invoked FBI Director Kash Patel, misspelling his first name as “cash Patel.” An FBI spokesman said she had not lobbied Patel. As her confirmation hearing approached, Guilfoyle asked Deters to prepare a letter establishing that he owed her two $50,000 payments for consulting services. Deters said she was concerned about both the legality and appearances of the arrangement. Guilfoyle was privately telling friends she was broke while preparing to become ambassador, despite disclosing substantial assets and income. Full Story (Gift Link): on.wsj.com/4zr1pE1

.@megynkelly I am a survivor. Judging from your comments, you are not. What you are is a disgrace to your sex. A disgrace to survivors everywhere. Would you spew the same garbage if it you were? You bare no resemblance to a woman. You disgust me. Everything about you disgusts me.

Please. @billburr did a comedy show in Saudi Arabia, whose leader had a journalist murdered & cut up with a bone saw.
Bill Burr says he wouldn’t accept an invitation to meet Mark Zuckerberg: “Nothing’s free. You don’t want to have a relationship. That’s why you never have any of those people on your podcast because then, all of a sudden, you have a friendship and you can’t make fun of them.”

They follow the precedent - or the president?

Wait, I thought JD Vance & Trump’s Justice Department were trying to rehabilitate Nixon & brand Watergate as a Deep State plot.

If you give JD an ass-kissing test, I guarantee he’d be at the top.
JD VANCE: "If you give Donald Trump an IQ test with the other 45, 46 presidents that the United States has had, I guarantee he'd be either near the top or at the top..." Honestly, Mr. Vance? #trumpiq

Maybe it’s the court’s actions being criticized that are “quite damaging.”
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said increasingly harsh criticism of the court from political leaders can be "quite damaging" to the institution. "The criticism of the court by President Biden and justices by President Biden and his administration was very harsh. And President Trump has been very harsh," he told CBS News' @JanCBS. Alito said the court's job is to interpret the Constitution "as best we can" and apply it to the cases that come before them: "We are not part of any political movement. And we are not attempting to further any political agenda."
