Trump hilariously mocked for hitting losing golf balls in the water: He 'can't see his feet let alone the ball'

For reasons passing in understanding, TMZ is still following former President Donald Trump and reporting on his golf game. On Sunday, the disgraced president couldn't make it through his own golf course and kept hitting balls into the water.

"TMZ obtained video of the moment Trump teed off for the fairway shot ... and it's pretty fascinating to see," the site wrote. "Watch for yourself -- Trump takes a few half-practice swings, with some kind of weird wobbling of the club, and then finally steps up and gives it a good whack."

It took less than 300 seconds for CNN to tear down Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and other Republicans who have downplayed the severity of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

While some have called the insurrection "peaceful" or claimed the crowd was nothing more than "tourists" or "patriots," court documents from the Justice Department and the FBI reveal the startling cache of weapons on hand that day.

GOP congressman tears apart the excuses his Republican colleagues used to oppose the 1/6 commission

On May 11, Democratic Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi announced that an agreement for a bipartisan commission on the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building had been reached with Republican Rep. John Katko of New York State. But despite the key role that Katko, a conservative, played in the agreement, many Republicans in Congress have been coming out against it — including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. CNN's John Berman discussed this development on the morning show "New Day" this week, stressing that even when a bipartisan agreement is reached, most Republicans don't want a real 9/11-style commission on the January 6 insurrection.

Berman, who co-hosts "New Day" with CNN's Brianna Keilar, noted that the proposed commission was "part of a bipartisan deal negotiated by Republican Congressman John Katko, who reached the agreement based on specific requests from Leader Kevin McCarthy." Katko, Berman observed, "won concessions from Democrats on nearly all the points" — and said of the agreement, "This is about facts. It's not partisan. We would have never gotten to this point if it was about partisan politics."

Whoopi Goldberg forced to cut to commercial as Meghan McCain and Joy Behar yell at each other over the COVID-19 vaccine

Another clash broke out on "The View" Thursday as Meghan McCain and Joy Behar fought over conservatives who continue to refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine to "own the libs."

McCain argued that it isn't the way conservatives feel and that many people she knows are concerned about how the vaccine impacts their fertility. Studies showed that the vaccine didn't have any adverse impact on pregnant women, but McCain said that the same studies haven't examined the fertility of women who got the shot. Presumably, all women of childbearing age could be examined for fertility who got the vaccine.

Morning Joe and Michael Steele blast GOP ‘hypocrites’ lying about getting vaccines: ‘It’s antisocial’

House Republicans are balking against continued masking rules, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele said they could end the mandate by getting vaccinated or proving that they already had.
