‘Peril Remains’: Bob Woodward Explains Why Democracy is Still Threatened Because ‘Trump is Still Out There’

Spoiler alert: The final words of Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s book detailing the last days of the Trump administration and transition to President Joe Biden are “Peril remains.”

CNN host John Berman revealed this detail to viewers of New Day who have not yet completed the book Peril, which was published Tuesday amid breathless headlines detailing reporting from the book that is both shocking and entirely predictable.

Trump had a six point plan to overturn the election and it was put in writing. That would be like posing in a bunch of pics and videos with Jeffrey Epstein and still walking free….oh, wait… - Noel Casler

Pope Calls Catholic Conservatives "The work of the devil." Way To Go!

Pope Francis is once again denouncing conservative critics of the Catholic Church for doing the devil’s work.

“I personally may deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the Church does not deserve this,” It is the work of the devil,” Francis said in a meeting with Jesuits in Slovakia this month.

It’s long been one of President Biden’s favorite sayings: “Don't compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative.”

Now, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, Americans believe by a 16-point margin that they are better off with Biden in charge of the pandemic than they would have been with the alternative: Donald Trump.

AOC Apparently Didn't Do A Background Check On Her Dress Designer. FYI: I ALWAYS DO!

Proving irony never goes out of style, Aurora James, the designer of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ (D-NY) viral “Tax the Rich” Met Gala gown, is a tax deadbeat herself, according to a report by the New York Post.

James is “a notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states,” reported the Post, digging up records that show six IRS tax liens totaling $103,220 on the parent company of her fashion brand, three open tax warrants in New York State for failing to withhold $14,798 in income taxes from employee paychecks (plus twelve other since-resolved NY tax warrants), and a $17,000 fine for failing to carry worker’s compensation insurance.
