Comey Boomerang: Ex-director confronted with personal emails, notes after playing victim card

New director Patel brings the receipt as the DOJ pushes back on claims that it selectively or vindictively charged James Comey.1/3(They are so fucked, and my guess is, that’s not the only things they’ve found on Comey and Crew)

By Jerry Dunleavy and John Solomon Updated: November 4, 2025 6:08am

James Comey played the victim card in fighting his indictment on charges of misleading Congress, ==but that strategy boomeranged when prosecutors and his old agency released an avalanche of new evidence showing the ex-FBI director hoped to please Hillary Clinton]], cheered on media leaks he claimed he did not sanction, and wrote emails and notes that directly conflict with his past congressional testimony.

Part of that unflattering portrait of Comey, prosecutors revealed Monday, came from long-hidden filesthat the new FBI Director Kash Patelfound in burn bags and secret storage rooms at the bureau's headquarters.

The evidence included proof that Comey used a private email account to conduct FBI matters including media strategy with a top lieutenant at the same time his agency probed Clinton for improperly using her own private email for government business.

"Perhaps you can make him smarter,” Comey wrote in one such email to FBI special government employee Daniel Richman in which the two discussed trying to influence a New York Times reporter about his coverage of the Clinton email scandal.

Prosecutors made clear such evidence will be used to try to show at trial that Comey misled Congress when he denied authorizing staff to anonymously leak or talk to reporters.

"Consistent with the above-described correspondence,Richman corresponded extensively with members of the media regarding or on behalf of the defendant, including in an anonymous capacity," the Justice Department filing argued.

The cache of documents also includes September 2016 handwritten notes in which Comey appears to address U.S. intelligence intercepts about Clinton planning to manufacture a Russia scandal against Trump, something he told senators he didn't recall knowing.

Comey did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent to him through his lawyers.

Comey's politicization executed to get in Hillary's good graces

Federal prosecutors said in court filings that they have unearthed a trove of personal emails showing that Comey openly talked in the days before the 2016 election that he expected to be working soon for President-elect Hillary Clinton and that he was being kept apprised by his friend Richman on apparent efforts to anonymously provide information to the news media.

The DOJ also showed on Monday that, despite Comey telling Congress he didn’t recall it, he had taken handwritten notes in September 2016 indicating he had been briefed on the so-called Clinton Plan Intelligence indicating Clinton’s 2016 campaign planned to tie Trump to Russia.

Comey’s lawyers in late October filed briefs to persuade a judge to dismiss the charges against their client, who has pleaded not guilty, by claiming that he was being "selectively and vindictively" prosecuted.

“The government has singled out Mr. Comey for prosecution because of his protected speech and because of President Trump’s personal animus toward Mr. Comey,” Comey’s lawyers told the judge in court filings last month. “Such a vindictive and selective prosecution violates the First Amendment, Due Process Clause, and equal protection principles. The proper remedy for this unconstitutional prosecution is dismissal with prejudice. Any lesser remedy would be insufficient in light of the government’s flagrant misconduct and the need to deter the government from bringing further unconstitutional prosecutions.”

DOJ: "A duly constituted grand jury found probable cause that he committed the indicted offenses"==

The Justice Department fired back in a Monday court filing signed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tyler Lemons and Gabriel Diaz.

“The prosecution is not vindictive. The defendant has not produced ‘direct evidence’ of a vindictive motive.And he has not shown that the prosecutor pursued this case ‘solely to punish’ him for exercising his First Amendment rights. So he has not carried his heavy burden of establishing vindictive prosecution,” the DOJ lawyers said Monday. “The prosecution is also not selective. The defendant has not identified similarly situated individuals who were not prosecuted. And he has not provided evidence that the decision to prosecute him was made because of his protected activities. He has not produced the ‘clear evidence’ required for dismissing an indictment based on selective prosecution.”

The DOJ court filing added:“A duly appointed and unbiased prosecutor presented the indictment. And a duly constituted grand jury found probable cause that he committed the indicted offenses. The motion to dismiss and request for discovery should be denied, and the case should proceed to trial.”

Comey used a personal and anonymous email account to associate/leaker

Comey, fired as FBI director in 2017 by President Donald Trump, oversaw both the politicized investigation into Hillary Clinton's illicit use of a private email server to send classified information and the baseless Trump-Russia collusion inquiry.

Despite investigating Clinton for her improper use of a private email server, Comey himself was using a personal and anonymous Gmail account to discuss FBI matters with Richman.

Comey made a public speech exonerating Clinton of criminality in July 2016, but alerted Congress in October 2016 that further Clinton emails had been found after the FBI searched a laptop belonging to disgraced former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, then the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

"Some day they will figure it out. And as [Individual 1 and Individual 2] point out, my decision will be one a president-elect Clinton will be very grateful for (although that wasn’t why I did it)," Comey wrote Richman in one newly-released email in late October 2016.

Richman previously admitted to agents in interviews that he routinely communicated on behalf of Comey, his longtime friend, with New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt, whose work was among thenewspaper's 2018 Pulitzer-winning storieson Russian election interference. The goal, Richman told the FBI, was "to correct stories critical of Comey, the FBI and to shape future press coverage" outside the bureau's official press office, according to internal FBI memos.

"Richman was pretty sure he did not confirm the Classified Information.However, Richman told the interviewing agents he was sure 'with a discount' that he did not tell Schmidt about the Classified Information," one FBI memo recounted.

Emails indicate clear intention, collaboration between Comey and leaker Richman

“Make sure you keep your eyes shut. The country can’t seem to handle your finding stuff,” Richman wrote to Comey on Oct. 29, 2016. Comey replied: “Thanks for the battling you have done against unreason. This is a strange time. B[u]t we press on.”

The next day, Richman sent Comey an email about an opinion piece he had been asked to write for The New York Times about Comey’s letter to Congress. Richman stated that he was “not inclined” to “write something” but that he would “do it” if Comey thought it would “help things to explain that [Comey] owed [C]ong[ress] absolute candor” and that Comey’s “credibility w[ith] [C]ong[ress] w[ould] be particularly important in the coming years of threatened [c]ong[ressional] investigations.”

“No need. At this point it would [be] shouting into the wind. Some day they will figure it out. And as [Individual 1 and Individual 2] point out, my decision will be one a president-elect Clinton will be very grateful for (although that wasn’t why I did it),” Comey said in his Oct. 30, 2016 response back.

The DOJ said Monday that Comey “appears to have reconsidered that view shortly thereafter” and pointed to Comey’s lengthy email to Richman the next day.

“When I read the times [New York Times] coverage involving [Reporter 1], I am left with the sense that they don’t understand the significance of my having spoke about the case in July [2016]. It changes the entire analysis. Perhaps you can make him smarter,” Comey told Richman on Nov. 1, 2016.

Richman responded the next day, saying: “This is precisely the case I made to them and thought they understood. I was quite wrong. Indeed I went further and said mindless allegiance to the policy (and recognition that more evidence could come in) would have counseled silence in july to let hrc [Hillary Clinton] twist in the wind.”

Richman soon added, “Just got the point home to [Reporter 1]. Probably was rougher than u would have been.”

Comey then emailed Richman shortly thereafter, saying “pretty good” and sending a link to a New York Times piece about Comey’s alleged options in late October 2016 concerning the Clinton email investigation. Comey told Richman, “Someone showed some logic. I would paint the cons more darkly but not bad.” Richman then responded: “See I can teach.”

The DOJ’s indictment against Comey, approved by a federal grand jury in September, stems from allegations that Comey misled the Senate during his testimony in late September 2020, when he reiterated his May 2017 denial that he had ever authorized a leak of information to the media about the Trump-Russia investigation or Clinton-related investigations. The indictment also alleged that Comey had obstructed Congress by lying to the Senate.

“After the defendant sent the October 2016 letter the defendant emailed extensively with Daniel Richman,” the DOJ said in its Monday court filing.

“Much of the correspondence occurred via the defendant’s use of a personal email account and Mr. Richman’s use of an email account associated with Columbia University.”

The DOJ on Monday also said that, in the spring of this year, “a team of FBI investigators was assembled to examine possible reform of policies, procedures, compliance, and culture at the FBI” and that “FBI investigators were alerted to a seemingly unused SCIF in FBI headquarters (Room 9582) containing a random collection of classified documents.”

DOJ: "Comey's prosecution" implicates societal interests of the highest order”

“A large majority of the documents were on the floor in five burn bags. Room 9582 was then subject to an inventory for the documents that were located inside. Investigators located hundreds of pages relating to Crossfire Hurricane … and the then-classified appendix to the 2016 Durham Special Counsel Report (now partially declassified),” the DOJ said. “Additionally, inside a locked safe within Room 9582, investigators located copies of handwritten notes of the defendant when he was the Director of the FBI.”

The DOJ said that Comey’s handwritten notes “were not known to any prior investigative teams.”

The DOJ lawyers insisted in their Monday court filing that “there is a history of prosecuting high-level Executive Branch officials who have lied to Congress about their official actions” and that “it is hardly surprising that the Executive would prioritize the prosecution of high-level agency officials who have lied to Congressional investigators about their official actions.”

“The societal interests in this prosecution are readily apparent and overwhelming,” the DOJ added of its charges against Comey. “The defendant is a former FBI Director who lied to Congress about his conduct while at the helm of the Nation’s primary federal law-enforcement agency. His prosecution implicates societal interests of the highest order.”

David Sacks says the biggest risk of AI was described not by James Cameron in The Terminator but by George Orwell in 1984.

“I almost feel like the term ‘woke AI’ is insufficient to explain what’s going onbecause it somehow trivializes it.”

“What we’re really talking about is 'Orwellian AI.' We’re talking about AI that lies to you, that distorts an answer, that rewrites history in real time to serve a current political agenda of the people who are in power.”

“To me, this is the biggest risk of AI… It’s not The Terminator, it’s 1984.”

This means the Biden Administration turned over President Trump’s phone to Special Counsel—an UNPRECEDENTED action. (Did Smith listen to phone calls between Trump and World Leaders?)

In addition, Special Counselsubpoenaed all of President Trump’s PERSONAL phone records.

We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America.

Jonathan Karl: "And, look, it was a massive twist for a guy who had been one of the most partisan, deeply partisan Republicans of my lifetime. But he saw it as entirely consistent. His life was dedicated to protecting America from existential threats. And at the end, he saw Donald Trump and his movement as a threat to American democracy."

What's truly sickening. their audience will believe this bullshit, because it's about condemning Trump

Trump holds tele-rallies for Virginia and New Jersey candidates on election eve

The president spoke highly of his preferred candidate for governor in New Jersey but did not mention the Virginia GOP nominee by name.1/2

Nov. 3, 2025, 8:46 PM EST By Bridget Bowman, Julie Tsirkin and Kyle StewartAfter betrayal, Trump doesn’t mention Winsome Sears name in Virginia endorsement.

President Donald Trump made a last-minute push to boost Republican turnout in Tuesday's races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia, but he only mentioned one GOP hopeful by name.

While Trump talked up Jack Ciattarelli, his preferred candidate for governor in New Jersey, he did not name the Republican nominee for governor in Virginia: Winsome Earle-Sears. Instead, he broadly urged supporters to vote for the entire GOP ticket.

Trump endorsed Ciattarelli earlier this year, but has not endorsed Earle-Sears, the state's lieutenant governor. The president signaled Monday that he believes Ciattarelli has a better shot at winning on Election Day.

"You need to go out and vote for Jack Ciattarelli, who's a great guy, a friend of mine, a great guy, a very successful man, who wants to put all of his efforts now into really saving New Jersey, making it great again, saving it," Trump said on the New Jersey call, during which he spoke for just under nine minutes. "And he's going to do it. He'll be able to do it. The polls are looking really good."

Trump spoke for about eight minutes on a call with supporters in Virginia hosted by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, touting his endorsed candidate for state attorney general.

"Get out and vote tomorrow for Jason Miyares, very — so important — and the Republicans up and down the ballot,” Trump said, referring to the GOP incumbent who is locked in a tight race against Democrat Jay Jones.

The attorney general race has been rocked by recent revelations of text messages in which Jones wrote that a top GOP colleague in the state House should be shot in the head. Jones has since apologized for the texts.

Earle-Sears has trailed former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in recent public polling and ad spending, while polls show Ciattarelli is in a more competitive race against Rep. Mikie Sherrill, though Sherrill's lead has varied in recent surveys.

Trump warned that Democratic victories in both governor races would be "a catastrophe," and lead to higher energy costs.

The president's remarks came shortly after he backed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race. Trump endorsed Cuomo, a longtime Democrat who is running as an independent, over Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa in a three-way race with Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.

It wasn't immediately clear how many voters participated in the tele-rallies. Youngkin said the call surpassed his 2021 tele-rally with Trump, which drew 450,000 supporters, but did not say how many supporters were listening Monday night.

New Jersey GOP Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who hosted the Garden State call, did not reference the number of participants. Trump said that New Jersey is the race to watch.

“This is the biggest election. The entire country is watching New Jersey,” Trump said.

New Jersey swung toward Trump by 10 percentage points last year compared to the 2020 presidential election, the second-largest swing of any state in the country. Turning out Trump voters who may be less likely to vote in an off-year gubernatorial race is a key part of Ciattarelli’s path to victory against Sherrill, along with winning over independents.

What blows my mind is these people just apologize and ask for his support!

>>23811570

2/2

Democrats outnumber Republicans in voter registration in the state, and Trump lost New Jersey by 6 points last year. But Ciattarelli dismissed any suggestions that Trump could be a liability in the race, even as voters nationally give the president low marks on his handling of the economy and the cost of living.

The New Jersey race “is all about property taxes. It’s all about monthly electricity bills. It’s about public safety, public education, over-development,” Ciattarelli told reporters at a campaign stop at Murph’s Tavern in Totowa on Monday morning. “Those are new New Jersey issues that my opponent wants to blame on the president. He’s got nothing to do with any of those things. It has everything to do with her party who’s controlled Trenton for the last 25 years.”

Asked about the upcoming tele-rally with Trump, Ciattarelli said, “We appreciate what the president is doing to get the base excited and reminding them that they’ve got to vote, as do all New Jerseyans. The future of our state hangs in the balance.”

Trump endorsed Ciattarelli about a month before the state’s June primary, which Ciattarelli won handily. The former state legislator has had his own evolution on Trump over the years as he has run for governor in two previous election cycles. Ciattarelli lost the 2017 GOP primary, but became the party’s nominee in 2021, losing the general election to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy by 3 percentage points.

Both Murphy and Youngkin are term limited.

During Trump’s first presidential run, Ciattarelli called him a “charlatan” and said he was unfit to be president. After the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, Ciattarelli did not campaign with Trump during that year’s gubernatorial race.

Ciattarelli has now embraced Trump and broadly supported his policies, giving Trump an “A” rating in a recent debate.

“I think he’s right about everything that he’s doing,” Ciattarelli said of the president during that debate. “He has secured the border and the economy, we’ve got inflation is much lower than it was when Joe Biden was in the White House.”

Cattarelli also said during the primary that he would welcome Trump to the Garden State to campaign. But Trump has not campaigned in person, instead opting for the tele-rally Monday and one late last month.

Ciattarelli said recently that he told Trump he could have won in 2021 if the president had campaigned in the state.

Trump has indicated that he and Ciattarelli speak frequently, writing of Ciattarelli in a Truth Social post last month, “He calls me constantly, wanting assurances that I will use the Power of Common Sense on helping New Jersey with their Energy bills, which are going up by record amounts.”

Virginia, New Jersey, New York City and California Votes Today – ElectionDiscussion and Results Thread

November 4, 2025 | Sundance |

The governors’ races for both Virginia and New Jersey will be determined today along with the headline grabbing New York City mayoral race. The California Proposition 50 referendum, the leftist redistricting effort, will also be determined.

Corporate media are heavily leaning on the narrative that the outcome of today’s three key races will highlight the resurgence of the political left following the defeat of Kamala Harris last year. The objective of most media is to diminish the influence of President Trump by saying the far left is responding strongly to President Trump policies.

John Roberts And Congress Need To Immediately Stop Gross Ethical Violations By Federal Judges

By:Mike DavisNovember 03, 20251/2

Judges have life tenure to insulate them from political pressure, not so they can act like politicians in robes.

In a recent New York Times article,dozens of inferior court judges violated the Code of Conduct for United States Judges by taking pot shots at the Supreme Court’s emergency docket.

Some judges called Supreme Court reversals “demoralizing,” while others whined that the Supreme Court’s reversals at the very least created the perception of partisanship on the justices’ part, as the Supreme Court mostly has been reversing rulings that had gone against Trump administration policies. One judge compared the relationship between the justices and that judge’s district to “a war zone.”

Article III of the Constitution establishes a judicial hierarchy. At the top is the Supreme Court. It is the final arbiter and head of the judicial branch, just as the sitting president is the head of the executive branch. The Framers, understanding that the Supreme Court could not alone manage all cases, provided for the creation of inferior courts by Congress. Through statutes, Congress has created these, providing for nearly a thousand judgeships on district courts and courts of appeals spread across our country.These inferior courts must follow Supreme Court precedent and the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. Among other things, the code prohibits judges from making political comments or even comments that a reasonable observer could view as such.

The griping of inferior court judges stems from about two dozen rulings on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket. This docket allows justices to pause orders from lower courts while the litigation proceeds. Radicals trying to grind to a halt President Donald Trump’s electoral mandate repeatedly have run to district courts in leftist hellholes like the District of Columbia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Boston. The judges there are overwhelmingly radical leftists. Even the Republican appointees are, for the most part, milquetoast because home-state Democrat senators can veto quality conservative nominees thanks to a Senate tradition known as the blue slip.The Supreme Court has correctly reversed absurd inferior court orders issued by judges who refuse to accept that President Trump is implementing an agenda for which the American people voted.

Revealing Their Partisanship

Every judge who responded to questions from The Times did so anonymously. This refusal to come out publicly is cowardly, but the judges hid in the shadows for one reason: ethics enforcement. Putting their names to comments trashing the Supreme Court would rightly have subjected these inferior court disgraces to a torrent of ethics complaints. These judges fail to see the obvious: their accusing the Supreme Court of partisanship in such a blatantly unethical way explicitly reveals their own partisanship. The biased authors of the article make sure to underscore that nearly half of the Republican-appointed judges who responded to questions about the Supreme Court were critical. But the authors do not tell us, for instance, where these Republican appointees sit. If these judges are in blue bastions like Massachusetts, Illinois, California, or Oregon, they do not remotely resemble judicial conservatives.

https://thefederalist.com/2025/11/03/john-roberts-and-congress-need-to-immediately-stop-gross-ethical-violations-by-federal-judges/

>>23811763

2/2

The article is grossly biased in several other ways. Judge William Young, a virulently anti-Trump district judge in Massachusetts, in recent months both inserted a gratuitous footnote into one opinion to bash the Supreme Court’s monumental decision on presidential immunity and wrote a 12-page screed against President Trump as part of another opinion. The authors make sure to hammer home that Judge Young was an appointee of President Reagan. When President Reagan first nominated Judge Young in 1984, the two Democrat Massachusetts senators were Ted Kennedy and Paul Tsongas.

When the Senate confirmed Judge Young in 1985, another hardcore leftist, John Kerry, had replaced Tsongas. In other words, notoriously leftist Massachusetts senators helped pick Young. Young may be a Reagan appointee, but he is no judicial conservative.

The article authors also make sure to highlight Republican former judges who are critical of the Supreme Court. For instance, J. Michael Luttig, rejected multiple times for a Supreme Court nomination, receives lots of attention in the article. The authors highlight that Luttig served under President George H.W. Bush. Luttig in recent years has suffered several legal humiliations, most notably in Trump v. Anderson. There, the Supreme Court reversed an absurd decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that had thrown President Trump off the ballot under the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Luttig had called the Colorado decision “masterful and unassailable.” The Supreme Court’s 9-0 reversal of that ludicrous decision proves otherwise.

Roberts Must Rebuke These Judges

Chief Justice John Roberts needs to get his judicial house in order. This latest New York Times drive-by shooting by anonymous federal judges is the most recent blatant example of out-of-control rogue judges sabotaging the federal judiciary, the presidency, and American voters. Out of more than 400 judges who received requests for comment, nearly 20 percent responded. This is shameful, unacceptable, and startling — our federal judiciary has been politicized and weaponized.

Judges have a modest, but crucial, role. They resolve cases and controversies of the parties before them with redressable claims. That is their Article III power. Nothing more; nothing less. Their job is not to run crying anonymously to reporters because the Supreme Court is acting in a way that these inferior court snowflakes despise. Chief Justice Roberts must issue an order to judges to stop talking to the media, either on the record or anonymously.

Congress also must levy severe consequences against these judicial embarrassments. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees should open oversight inquiries to find out which anonymous and cowardly judges disgraced the bench through their pathetic public whining. If judges take off their judicial robes, climb into the political arena, and throw political punches, they should expect political counterpunches.

Judges have life tenure to insulate them from political pressure, not so they can act like politicians in robes. Sadly, several dozen judges do not understand this basic tenet of our republic, and they must face public shaming.

(All judges should be put in classrooms and take every test they had to pass to be a judge, if they fail, they are then kicked out.)

Holy Fuck: NYC Socialist Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Appears on Ballot Twicedocs cannot be

There is already Election Day controversy as New York City’s socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani – as well as Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa – appear on the ballot twice==, despite the fact that this is a normal procedure in the city’s elections.

Images of the ballot have circulated andindeed show Mamdani appearing twice on the ballot. Mamdani is listed first as the Democratic candidate, followed by Sliwa and conservative candidate Irene Estrada. Mamdani then appears again as the Working Families candidate, followed by Sliwa again under the Protect Animals banner. Eric Adams appears under the Safe & Affordable banner, and Jim Walden is listed seventh under the Integrity party, followed by former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo under his Fight and Deliver party. Joseph Hernandez appears last under the Quality of Life banner.

“The New York City ballot form is a scam!” Elon Musk said, sharing an image of the ballot and mentioning that other mayoral candidates have their name appearing twice:

– No ID is required

– Other mayoral candidates appear twice

– Cuomo’s name is last in bottom right

However, many pointed out that names appearing on the ballots multiple times is relatively normal, as it goes by party endorsement. Others noted that New York City has always allowed candidates to receive multiple nominations from parties.

Regardless, many are put off that Cuomo quite literally appears second to last on the ballot, way to the right on the bottom row. There are explanations for that as well, however. Per Yahoo!, “…[T]he ballot order is determined by how many votes a party received in the last gubernatorial election, with unaffiliated candidates (like Cuomo) appearing after the partisan ones.”

The controversy comes as all eyes are on New York City in Tuesday’s mayoral race. President Donald Trump made waves after urging voters in New York City to back Cuomo in the race instead of Republican Sliwa, warning that a vote for the Republican is effectively a “vote for” socialist Mamdani.

If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!

“It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad,” he continued. “It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win.” Trump went on to point out that Mamdani’s socialist principles have been “tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful.”

“I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE,” he said. “He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory!” Trump said before urging New Yorkers to back Cuomo.

“We must also remember this — A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani,” he added. “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!”

“The New York City ballot form is a scam!” Elon Musk said, sharing an image of the ballot and mentioning that other mayoral candidates have their name appearing twice:

– No ID is required

– Other mayoral candidates appear twice

–Cuomo’s name is last in bottom right

Bill Maher and Michael Rapaport took a stick to left-wing late-night comedy hosts like Jimmy Kimmel for being so lost in a leftist bubble that they have “insulted” half the country.

Maher invited comedian Michael Rapaport onto the HBO host’s Cub Random podcast. When the topic of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel came up, Maher delivered some very concerted criticism for the ABC TV host.

The HBO funnyman blasted Kimmel and the other late-night hosts for being hopelessly “captured” by “liberal ideology.”

“My problem with him and hosts like that –quite frankly they’re all quite similar in this regard — is that they’re ideologically captured by one side,” Maher told a receptive Rapaport.

Bill Maher tells Michael Rapaport there’s one big problem with today’s late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel.

“My problem with him and hosts like that—is that they’re ideologically captured by one side.”

Maher said the left-wing echo chamber is exactly what led Kimmel to falsely

It’s just not what I do or what I’m doing. And so, and there’s a reason why half the country feels insulted by them and has turned off to them because it’s just one very predictable point of view,” he continued.

He added that the let-wing talking points are “often not completely accurate.”

“That was not really a smart thing to say,” Maher said of the line Kimmel delivered on his show that got him suspended. “That this guy who shot Charlie Kirk was on the MAGA team. That’s just something that Blue Sky crowd told themselves. And if you’re that far in the bubble, where you don’t really see both sides—you’re going to believe that. You’re going to believe that BlueSky point of view, ‘Oh, a bad thing happened, it must be coming from the other team.'”

For his part, Rapaport said he thought Kimmel’s lie about the Kirk shooter was horrendous because it was only a few days after Kirk had been murdered, and there was Kimmel making jokes about it and trying to score political points for the left-wing when the assassination had only just occurred.
