Trump decides to give a press conference while the Devil's Advocates are live on the air. He should wait until after the show next time, because that means Dom and Crute can react to it live, MST3K style! He's down another $352 million thanks to the New York case, which Judge Engoron ruled on today. It seems like he's gonna be pretty strapped for cash here, thanks to the many judgements now ruled against him. That's an issue for anyone, but especially if you're running for president! How many

We've all been broke before, who hasn't had to make buttered noodles last a weekend? We've never been as broke as Trump today though! He's been ordered to pay $364 million in fines due to his shady business dealings in New York. Former head of the Republican Party of Wisconsin and false elector Andrew Hitt is making his way to 60 Minutes this weekend to spin lies about why he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He was just scared, you can't blame him! Let's just hope that the 60

Trump will be going to court for his porn-star-hush-money case at the end of March, and he's not happy about it, to say the least. He was right about one thing, this case is about election interference. The problem is, the election it worked to interfere was the 2016 election, when all these issues were happening in the first place. Remember when Republicans yelled about Hunter Biden's Ukraine deals for what feels like years? Well, as it turns out, the informant who tipped the FBI on the case..

Double Deep Throat

After yesterday's Deep Throat phone call to Crute cluing him into what's really going on with Republicans passing Tony Evers' legislative maps, Crute got ANOTHER Deep Throat call TODAY asking him to pull another 180 and support the maps! But he isn't convinced! Yes, the maps have merit, and Republicans will probably pull some shenanigans, leaving the maps up to the state Supreme Court is still the best move. At least, Dom and Crute think so. For once, the right is, well, right. George Soros is

The George Santos seat in Congress saw a Democrat win in a special election yesterday, bringing a major flip to Mike Johnson's alright tight margins. Is this election a sign of what's to come later this year? Johnson says there's no way it could be a bellwether! Plus, Jack Smith is asking SCOTUS to allow Trump's trial to continue, and to uphold a ruling that he doesn't have his absolute diplomatic immunity. The public deserves a fair and speedy trial, he says, so even if they do want to give him

Deep Throat

2024/02/14

Crute got a confidential call today, his very own Deep Throat, that's getting him to pull a 180 and call on Governor Tony Evers to VETO the new legislative maps passed by Vos and the Republicans yesterday. Of course Vos would have some sneaky, ulterior motives. If Evers signs the maps, Crute and his deep throat say, Wisconsin will not have new maps in 2024. It's not that Tony's maps are bad. It's that passing these maps gives Republicans (*cough cough WILL*) the chance to challenge them in

Joe Biden had some harsh words for the former-president today, after Trump's comments that Russia should go ahead and invade any of our NATO allies. Of course he would say that, he's a good friend of Russia! That comes on the heels of the US Senate voting in favor of sending aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other US allies. Jon Stewart with the Daily Show is, well, back with the Daily Show! The Devils look back and remember how the Daily Show has evolved over the years, and how Republicans seem to

Did hell freeze over?

Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature have passed Governor Evers' new legislative maps, completely unchanged from how they were when he sent them to the state Supreme Court. Have Republicans finally thrown in the white flag? Has hell frozen over? Evers has even promised to sign the maps into law, though there is one small caveat with today's maps, is that enough for Evers to try and veto them? Dom thinks he should! That caveat? The maps won't be in place until this fall, meaning that any

Meet Trump’s Newest Legal Consultant: Yogi Berra

2024/02/13

Today is the deadline for Donald Trump's legal team to request more time for their presidential immunity legal case. Perhaps they're also suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, because they quoted Yogi Berra in their statement. Dom and Crute take your calls on Trump's flimsy case. Over the weekend, Trump said that if countries in NATO don't "pay their dues," then he wouldn't protect them. Instead, he would encourage Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to these countries. Does that sound

Crute is back from Las Vegas to talk about the Super Bowl! Even the NFL can't escape political ads. A campaign ad for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that made use of JFK imagery played, and while RFK apologized, he still has the ad on his Twitter page. Beyond that, Dom and Crute talk about some of their favorite commercials from the game. Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens is still in Vegas, so he shares what it was like on the scene at Super Bowl LVIII. Coming up at the end of the month, The

Joe Biden’s Onion Belt

2024/02/09

Joe Biden will not be charged for keeping classified documents, a special council finds. Comparing it to what Trump did, the council found major difference between what Trump did and what Biden did. Part of it? They had some harsh words for Biden - mostly that he's old! His memory is going! He had an onion on his belt! It was the style at the time! Trump is making his way to the Treasure Island Casino in Vegas tonight for his victory in the Nevada Caucus tonight. How can we say that so soon

SCOTUS heard oral arguments today about whether or not Trump should appear on the Colorado ballot, and they seem inclined to side with Trump and let him on the ballot. Just as Crute said they would, or at least what Crute says he said. Dom's not so sure about how exactly that conversation went. Plus - Trump's set to win the caucus in Nevada tonight, mostly because he's the only one there. But his party at Treasure Island will be without Crute, as he's been denied once again. In Iowa?

Trump's lawyers get to argue before the US Supreme Court tomorrow morning about whether or not he should appear on the Colorado ballot. Civic Media Host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's to give his take on the case. His prognosis? SCOTUS will probably put him back on the ballot, because that's just who they are. And should Trump have absolute immunity? No, of course not, says Santelle. Not only that, but the matter should be done, and should not be heard by SCOTUS. Will he try to appeal anyways

What's the biggest embarrassment in recent electoral history? It might not be Scott Walker anymore, at least he didn't lose to "none of the above" like Nikki Hayley. The results of the useless Nevada presidential primary are in, and Hayley didn't just lose to "none of these candidates," it got more than double the amount of votes than her. Say what you will about Nikki Hayley, but she still managed to do the impossible by being both the big winner of the Republican primary, and the biggest loser

Crute is live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the Nevada Presidential Primary election. The least important primary election this year! Why? Because Nikki Haley is the only real candidate in the race, and all the delegates will be given out later this week at the Nevada caucus. You know, the one where Trump will be at. Trump's opting to skip the election and head to the caucus Thursday night, where his only competition is someone who nobody has even heard of. And the best part for Trump? You

Crute has made it safely to Las Vegas, but that's not the top story. A panel of judges has unanimously ruled that Trump does not have absolute immunity in his January 6th case. His diplomatic immunity? It's been revoked. His only possible hope? SCOTUS. And he only has a week to file his paperwork to appeal before the case moves forward. Let's see how many Supreme Court Justices think the president should have absolute power... Plus, the SCOTUS is getting ready to hear oral arguments in the case

Biden beat Crute to Vegas, but that doesn't mean they both can't still have fun in sin city! He gave a big speech to voters over the weekend, and we hear a little of what he had to say. We still have one question though: how much did he put on the Chief's winning the Super Bowl? Trump wants the world to know - he and Elvis are basically twins. Why does he think this? We don't know, not even his own people think they look similar. Maybe he's more of a Ted Nugent lookalike? Or maybe Larry David,

Scott Walker is in the news again, unfortunately, so of course the Devil's have to talk about it. This time, it's for the legislative maps. He's been on the news for those maps before! But this time, it's about how his gerrymandered maps in Wisconsin might finally get thrown out. Reince Priebus is also in the news the week, unfortunately, calling the conservative's Taylor Swift controversy stupid. Which is something that we could have told you a week ago, but hey, let Reince have his time in the
