Today, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin observe the 80th anniversary of D-Day, along with Eastern Orthodox Donald Trump Conviction Day, plus their usual gallimaufry of insight and foresight.

You got to love those double haters! Joe Biden could hold the White House if only a tiny number of voters swing his way, and as luck would have it, a tiny number may Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also has a tiny number ...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin celebrate the first Wednesday since TFFG earned his 34 Fs.

Donald is a felony factory.  President Joe Biden finally acknowledged Trump’s rising street cred. Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson and the Wall Street Journal predict Joe won’t spit rhymes at the level of Ice Turd during their upcoming rap battle.

What porn star would Joe Biden smash?” is the question many undecided vote...

Tuesday! Apricate in sagacious David Waldman’s perspicacious eunoia, or something. Look that up in your Corpus of Historical American English.

Is Donald Trump in jail yet? Why not? Does this mean there’s still time to get into the financially rewarding career of becoming a Trump witness?

Nothing compares to the luxe life of a Trump judge though. Get yourself some of that eleganté Mercatus swag, like bottomless shrimp cocktails, war...

Greg Dworkin has had a raft o’stories offshore for days now, but David Waldman, always a stickler for protocol, wouldn’t allow him to dock until today. Let’s see what we have on deck...

Hey, DIDYA HEAR? Donald Trump is a convicted felon! It really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy… In fact, it only happens to people who are convicted of felonies! That’s how America is supposed to work! Trump’s 34 felon...

Well, Trump’s trial jury decided to head into the weekend early, scuttling our chance to hear David Waldman vocally impersonate each member of the 118th Congress over the course of one KITM. Maybe next week.

TFFG earned another F last night. In fact, he earned 34 more. The question is, do all of those F’s finally take him to a big fat L? To us in the hoi polloi, it would seem apparent, but let’s stand back...

It's Thursday, and David Waldman returns! Greg Dworkin returns!! and Armando returns!!! They don’t make Thursdays any better than this.

In New York, Donald Trump’s first criminal trial jury deliberates. They have requested that a few bits of testimony previously drowned out by TFFG snore-farts to be repeated, with special attention given to the felonious bits. Fox smooths out the nuances by demanding that ...

David Waldman brings the wit and wisdom to today’s KITM. Greg Dworkin’s appearance adds to that… or maybe he multiplies it.

Donald Trump’s family have been showing up at his trial lately, just in case visitation becomes more restricted in the near future. Pundits are divided between those that believe a guilty verdict would help Trump, and those who believe it would hurt Biden. Then there are those who are...

David Waldman has had enough grilling and hammocking, back to the microphone!

Closing arguments have begun in the People of New York vs. Orange J. Turd, and well,  he might not be as easy to flush as one would think standing outside the stall.

Once reelected, fake electors plan to fake elections better.

The Washington Post buried the Alito upside-down flag story for three years, because who doesn’t signal ...

Another installment in our continuing series, “Are You Better Off Now, with an Episode From Four Years Ago?”

Things were very different on May 27, 2020. For one thing, it was a Wednesday. Also, there was a global pandemic, and we had the worst possible president.

Here’s how Scott Anderson described it, using the primitive tools we had available to us in those times:

David Waldman drops us off at the corner of a long holiday weekend holding a brand new KITM that he has crafted himself, with a little heart drawn on the outside.

Donald Trump drew a large crowd at his rally in the Bronx! No, he drew a small crowd! Well, we must prove that the size was the size it was to the other side! Because, once they understand the facts, they will understand… well, nothing really.

What are David Waldman and Greg Dworkin talking about today? Whatever it is, you will probably be talking about it tomorrow!

Donald Trump has had a couple of days filled with backpedaling, baseless attacks, authoritarian fantasies, all with a smattering of Nazi around the edges. It sure is a familiar formula, but if anyone knows how to sell a crap sequel, it is Trump. The story doesn’t need to make sense, ...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are up to their usual Wednesday hijinks. Let’s laugh and learn along.

Yes, MAGA has been feeling like showing their Nazi side recently. LOL! They’re just trolling the Libs! Then... Lib tears multiply their press. Then, all of this increased exposure moves the Overton window. Then, it’s policy. Before you know it, 5/9ths of the Supreme Court start believing that is how the Fou...

Donald Trump broke his vow to testify at his New York Fraud trial today. It hurts to think that he might have been lying all along to everyone. Yesterday the entire courtroom had to be cleared... incredibly, it wasn’t Donald who dealt it, it was defense witness, MAGA loon lawyer Robert Costello.

The countdown to the verdict now begins. Like at Trump rallies, Gop third string cheerleaders will probably deci...

David Waldman is surprised as you are that it’s already Monday.

Greg Dworkin remains on “Assignment”… or “Sabbatical”... or maybe “Hiatus” (The names of his fishing boats) in search of the perfect Raft O’Stories to haul in on this Wednesday. Meanwhile, Greg tells us of Israel's internal infighting, which doesn’t quite have the bodycount of their external fighting, but it is still quite messy.

Why not start a Friday with weird sports news? But not just any weird sports news. Political sports news!

A guy who is a genuine NFL player, albeit a kicker, has said some things. They were meant to be pretty conservative, especially with regard to gender roles, and he thought his views would be at home at a Catholic college. But nuns actually work for a living.

We may never know who’s right about this dust-up as between the cops a...

On today’s KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin announce that we are right. In fact, it turns out that we were correct all along!

The People of the State of New York v. Orange J. Turd takes their Wednesday break today. Yesterday, Trump’s backup singers arrived well rehearsed to all sing the same tune outside the courthouse. Imagine their embarrassment when Tommy Tuberville wanted to join in.

Where were you in the geomagnetic storm of ‘24? A few tractors have been seen wandering about, but no giant carnivorous plants, spooky kids or zombie hordes to speak of, which is actually a good thing, as David Waldman and Greg Dworkin already have enough on their plates to discuss as it is.

David Waldman makes a surprise return to KITM! It was mostly a surprise to him, but there he was, sitting in front of the microphone, so he figured, why not?
