Stop trying to make 'pull a Pelosi' happen On Fox's The Five on Tuesday, Fox News contributor and former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile brought with her to the table a set of papers she described as "graphs and maps" and other evidence to back up former President Barack Obama's claim on Twitter about the economy. President Trump ranted about the Obama tweet on Monday night, which then became an all day football on social media and cable news on Tuesday. As Brazile was discussing the subject on The Five, co-host Jesse Watters grabbed the set of papers and tore them in half. “Hey, I pulled a Pelosi," he said. It was super awkward. Pardons and Salutations ... err, Commutations President Trump on Tuesday exercised the power of the pardon pen, and with no small amount of vengeance on his mind, perhaps, while undertaking the project. That's because the man who made the most news for having his sentence commuted was ex-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Trump said he made the decision after seeing Blagojevich's wife on TV (Fox), and he made a point of mentioning the ex-gov's prosecution had some folks in common with his own, such as James Comey. "It was a prosecution by the same people - Comey, Fitzpatrick, the same group," said Trump. Blagojevich, as Trump noted in remarks to reporters, was a Democrat, not a Republican, and his corruption scandal was not just big news, but well documented. So the entire GOP House delegation from Illinois objected to Trump's decision. So did The Five's Greg Gutfeld. But at least it was a chance for today's Green Room Must See Video to resurface. Scroll down to enjoy. Trump had a few other pardon pen strokes, too. Soros v Zuckerberg: Rematch Billionaire and liberal progressive mega-donor George Soros and billionaire Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have had beefs before, and they'll have them again in the future, no doubt. This week, the billionaires traded blows in the pages of the Financial Times. Or more accurately, Zuckerberg wrote about his industry and his company needing more government oversight and regulation, and Soros said that Zuck's call for government intervention didn't go too far enough. They didn't start literally throwing wads of cash at each other, but how far off can that be, honestly? Speaking of things not really appropriate to throw around... Former 2020 Democratic candidate turned Elizabeth Warren surrogate Julián Castro joined Chuck Todd on MSNBC to state that Micheal Bloomberg is actually Donald Trump’s “wet dream.” Um. Gross. 6.5.0 |
