'Basically an arsonist': CNN's Dana Bash ridicules Trump over demand for thanks

06/09/25 4:54 PM

CNN's Dana Bash ridiculed President Donald Trump over a Truth Social post demanding L.A. officials thank him for sending in National Guard troops to quell protests."I know that...this is a promise that he gave on the campaign trail to do whatever he could to deport illegal immigrants," Bash said on Monday's Inside Politics. "But what he just posted is, is basically, an arsonist saying, 'You better call the fire department because they've got to come in fast to get the flames out. I mean, that seems like what's going on."Trump sent the post Bash referred to on Monday afternoon."We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California," Trump wrote. "If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent 'Governor,' Gavin Newscum, and 'Mayor,' Karen Bass, should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.' Instead, they choose to lie to the People of California and America by saying that we weren’t needed, and that these are 'peaceful protests.' Just one look at the pictures and videos of the Violence and Destruction tells you all you have to know. We will always do what is needed to keep our Citizens SAFE, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"Earlier in the show, panelist Manu Raju commented on Trump's claim that "Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated.""Now, I'm not quite sure if that's exactly the case of what people are saying on the ground here," Raju said, "but I mean, look — sending in the National Guard is just an extraordinary step for the federal government to do."Multiple officials, including California's governor and L.A.' mayor, have slammed Trump for ordering in the National Guard against their wishes. They said it poured gasoline on the protests.Watch the clip via CNN here.

'Bit in contrast': Trump immediately blows up Rubio's statement on Israel attack

06/13/25 11:49 AM

President Donald Trump acknowledged in a social media post that he gave Israel the go-ahead to attack Iran, going against claims from his own administration officials.Israel deployed 200 fighter jets to target Iran's nuclear programs and kill multiple top military leaders, and the president's 5:56 a.m. EST post on Truth Social – "I told them, in the strongest of words, to 'just do it'" – contradicted secretary of state Marco Rubio's statement from just hours before saying the strike was a "unilateral action.""This is the first official response we have gotten from president Donald Trump this morning, came in just moments ago," said CNN's Alayna Treene, "and I will note, just before I get into it, that this is a bit in contrast with what we've been hearing now from the White House and from the Trump administration, specifically from secretary of state Marco Rubio, that the U.S. had no involvement whatsoever in the strike. So the statement from him, he posted this on his Truth Social website, he said that he gave Iran 'chance after chance' to try and make this deal, but that they couldn't get it done.""He said that he warned them of the manpower that both the United States and Israel has, and that those took a hardline position during these negotiations in Iran over a potential nuclear deal are, quote, 'all dead now,'" Treene added, "and then he said, quote, 'there has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian empire. No more death, no more destruction, just do it before it is too late.'"Another round of talks are scheduled for Sunday in Oman, but Treene said those plans could be in doubt after the strike."We did hear from secretary of state Marco Rubio yesterday saying again that the U.S. had no involvement in this and that Israel believed that this action was necessary for self-defense," Treene said. "But we do know as well that Trump administration officials, people here at the White House, they were given [awareness] and told to prepare for these strikes, so they were bracing for this yesterday when we saw those first strikes hit in Iran.""The president had convened a cabinet-level meeting last night as the strikes were happening," she added. "That meeting, I would like to point out, was actually scheduled before Israel began its attack. They wanted to start to coordinate what the official U.S. response would be, so, again, adding to the point that they kind of knew about this. Now, of course, I think the big picture here is that one, president Donald Trump has not kept quiet about his frustrations with Iran and for what he believes is a very slow pace in the progression of talks over a nuclear deal. Again, to reiterate, they still want to have those talks, they do not believe that this deal is not unsalvageable. But, of course, these attacks really throw that into question."Watch below or click here. - YouTube youtu.be

However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!" he added.You can see his post here.

'Chilling': Newspaper hits back at MAGA governor after 'bully' attempt

06/09/25 7:50 PM

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board took a firm stance against what it claimed was "intimidation" and "bullying" by the DeSantis administration over its investigation into a charity connected to the governor's wife.The board reported that it received an unsigned cease-and-desist letter from the Florida Department of Children and Families demanding that reporter Jeffrey Schweers stop his "reporting for a story about funding flowing through Hope Florida, the nonprofit spearheaded by the governor’s wife, Casey."The letter accused Schweers of "trying to 'harass and intentionally cause distress to foster families by threats and coercion' to get them to talk to him for the story."The board wrote, "This attempt to bully our newsroom away from a story is clearly intended to be chilling, but it won’t impact our reporting. Hope Florida has already had a lot of questions raised about its funding and grants not just by the Sentinel and other media in Florida but also by state lawmakers."The editorial board detailed how it found evidence "that the state used Hope Florida as a funnel to divert millions of federal Medicaid-settlement money from its intended destination (health care for poor people) to two political organizations opposing the November ballot amendment on recreational marijuana."A state representative who investigated the charity said the fund transfer could lead to "money-laundering or other criminal charges.“"In the real world, if someone defrauded the state or a charity out of $10 million, they’d go to prison," State Rep. Alex Andrade (R-Pensacola) told Florida Politics.The editorial board quoted Sentinel executive editor Roger Simmons saying, “We stand by our stories and reject the state’s attempt to chill free speech and encroach on our First Amendment right to report on an important issue. The state’s characterization of our reporter’s conduct is completely false.”First Lady Casey DeSantis has denied any wrongdoing.Read The Orlando Sentinel editorial here.

'Extraordinary imbecile': MAGA piles on over Greta Thunberg stunt

06/10/25 7:54 PM

MAGA world set its sights on Swedish activist Greta Thunberg for claiming she was "kidnapped" in international waters on her way to protest the Israeli treatment of Palestinians in Gaza, and flown back to her home country.David Harsanyi with the conservative Washington Examiner posted to X, "For years, youth shielded Thunberg from criticism. She is now a young woman, and so we can freely point out that she’s an extraordinary imbecile." The post linked to Harsanyi's article titled, "Greta Thunberg is the embodiment of progressive vapidity."In response to a post by Collin Rugg with Trending Politics that said, "The Israeli government is describing Thunberg’s ship as the 'Selfie Yacht.' The activist reportedly left Tel Aviv on a flight headed for Sweden," MAGA commentator @GuntherEagleman wrote, "HA! Good riddance!""America First' lawyer @DC_Draino tied in Thunberg's actions with the anti-ICE protests going on in Los Angeles when posting to his two million followers, "How long until Greta Thunberg takes a sailboat to LA with crucial supplies like bricks, fireworks, and face masks?"MAGA podcaster Tim Poole called Thunberg an offensive slur in his post, saying, "greta thunberg is r-------," while Australian journalist @OzraeliAvi wrote, "Good thing Greta Thunberg solved climate change—because the diesel yacht, the helicopters, navy ships, army patrols, and Israeli Air Force response she triggered (not to mention her flight home) just to achieve nothing would’ve been one hell of a carbon footprint otherwise.""Greta Thunberg accuses Israel of 'kidnapping' her saying the IDF were 'keeping us in the bottom of the boat and not letting us out,'" wrote "anti-woke" content creator @OliLondonTV. "Meanwhile, this is Greta Thunberg getting off the boat and smiling as an IDF soldier offered her a Sandwich."In an earlier post, the content creator wrote, "Meanwhile, 55 people who were actually kidnapped have been held hostage in Gaza for 612 days."
