2024 Elections

On the Friday night HBO "Real Time Overtime" segment posted to YouTube, host Bill Maher finally had enough of conservative Rich Lowry's complaining about Donald Trump's legal problems and bluntly stated the former president is guilty of committing criminal acts.

Moments after National Review editor Rich Lowry went on an extensive rant about Trump's 34 felony convictions in a Manhattan courtroom, for which the former president will be sentenced after the election, Maher announced to the panel, "Trump really does commit crimes" to applause from the "Real Time" audience.

"He does commit crimes is one thing and two, if positions were reversed, and a Democrat did this, not only would the Republicans have gone after him, they would have done it instead of what the Democrats — talk about feckless —this is feckless. You had four years to bring four trials and we get none of them?"

Panelist John Avlon offered that Democrats were afraid of "politicizing" the trial which led Lowry to admit he was "appalled" by Trump inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection and that caused Maher to interject, "You're not so appalled that you're not going to vote for Trump? So you're not appalled."

With Lowry protesting, Maher continued, "He politicizes the Justice Department and he does not concede elections. These are two very new things. You can carp all you want and you can 'what about' all the bulls--t about 'Well the Democrats say he wasn't a legitimate president.' That is different than actually trying to stay in office! He is completely unprecedented. I mean it completely disqualifies to even consider voting for him. I don't know how anyone can."

Two months ahead of the 2024 presidential race, right-wing Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business are trying out a variety of attacks against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney will cast his ballot in November for the current Democratic Vice President, Kamala Harris, according to his daughter, Republican former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.

Dick Cheney, now 83, is also a former U.S. Secretary of Defense, U.S. Congressman, White House Chief of Staff, and the first-ever White House Deputy Chief of Staff. (To put that in perspective, that was exactly 50 years ago. There are currently now three Deputy Chiefs of Staff.) He is from a generation ago and possibly not well-known to many Americans. A hard-core Republican, during his time in the public eye and behind the scenes in the White House as President George W. Bush’s Vice President, Cheney was reviled by many Democrats, especially for his role in what the Bush administration would come to call “the Global War on Terrorism.”

The newly reported delay of former President Donald Trump's sentencing hearing in his criminal hush money trial could have a surprising effect on his campaign, one former assistant District Attorney says.
