Top 10 Conservative Idiots Is On Hiatus This Week
But if you missed the last few editions, here's things that you might have missed.
Edition #3-2:
I mean shit, these guys lie the way Sterling Archer drinks.
Senators on Tuesday grilled Attorney General Jeff Sessions during a Senate intel committee hearing for refusing to discuss his conversations with President Donald Trump.
“The American people have had it with stonewalling,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said. “Americans don’t want to hear that the answers to relevant questions are privileged and off limits or that they can’t be provided in public, or that it would be ‘inappropriate’ for witnesses to tell us what they know.”
“General Sessions has acknowledged that there is no legal basis for this stonewalling,” the senator added.
“Sen. Wyden, I am not stonewalling,” Sessions pushed back. “I am following the historic policies of the Department of Justice.”
Sessions grew visibly angry when the Oregon senator then suggested there may be troublesome factors behind his recusal from the Russian interference investigation.

Before we talk more about the Trumpcare bill, we have to point out exactly how fake Trump is. So Trump has posted this cover of Time Magazine in all of his golf course restaurants.
The framed copy of Time Magazine was hung up in at least four of President Trump’s golf clubs, from South Florida to Scotland. Filling the entire cover was a photo of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” the big headline said. Above the Time nameplate, there was another headline in all caps: “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS .?.?. EVEN TV!”
This cover — dated March 1, 2009 — looks like an impressive memento from Trump’s pre-presidential career. To club members eating lunch, or golfers waiting for a pro-shop purchase, it seemed to be a signal that Trump had always been a man who mattered. Even when he was just a reality-TV star, Trump was the kind of star who got a cover story in Time. But that wasn’t true. The Time cover is a fake.
There was no March 1, 2009, issue of Time Magazine. And there was no issue at all in 2009 that had Trump on the cover.
In fact,the cover on display at Trump’s clubs, observed recently by a reporter visiting one of the properties, contains several small but telling mistakes. Its red border is skinnier than that of a genuine Time cover, and, unlike the real thing, there is no thin white border next to the red. The Trump cover’s secondary headlines are stacked on the right side — on a real Time cover, they would go across the top.

Top 10 Conservative Idiots is off for the 4th, but we will return July 12th with the return of the Top 10 Home Shopping Network where we will ask the question "Do Infowars and GOOP hawk the same bullshit?"? Spoiler alert! Yes. And we will head out on the next destination of our World Tour 2017. Let's go hit the pubs, drink some pints, eat some fish & chips, cheer on our favorite football teams, and don't forget to mind the gap as we head to Merry Old England! Plus some live music for you from some small, unknown heavy metal band called.... I don't know, Iron Maiden?
