Puddle and his Harp have posted fewer times on Lies Social since Puddle and Republicans got their asses kicked in the midterm elections.
But they're still posting...
The New York Times Alaska results page:
Leaving aside that we do not combine vote totals from losing candidates with other candidates, the math currently shows that even if we did "combine" Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.'s vote total of 4,027 with Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan's total, Democratic candidate Mary Peltola still wins.
Results are incomplete and subject to change.
According to Alaska Public Media (PBS/NPR, 11/10/2026), another vote count update will be released Friday, with counting expected to be completed by November 18, 2026.
Yesterday, the House tabled Rep. Thomas Massie's Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegshit.
Puddle took a victory lap.
H.Res.1655 - Impeaching Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
| Party | Yea | Nay | NV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Democratic | 0 | 203 | 11 |
| Republican | 210 | 1 | 7 |
| Independent | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| TOTAL | 211 | 204 | 18 |
Narrator: Thomas Massie is not and has never been a Democrat. This was not a Democrat effort to do dick all.
Puddle called a judge's ruling that his lawsuit against the BBC can move forward a "huge victory".
NBC News (11/11/2026):
A federal judge on Tuesday said President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over a misleadingly edited clip of a speech can go forward, but threw out Trump’s unfair trade practices claim against the broadcaster.
[snip]
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz in Florida declined to throw out Trump’s defamation claim against the BBC, saying Trump had plausibly alleged that the broadcaster damaged his reputation and knew or should have known the clip was misleading. Kuntz’s ruling did not decide whether Trump has proven those claims.
[snip]
The BBC has previously admitted the edits were misleading and apologized to Trump, though it denies being liable for defamation.
Trump’s lawsuit, filed in December in Florida federal court, accuses the BBC of defaming him by splicing together parts of the speech, including one section where he told supporters to march on the Capitol and another where he said “fight like hell.” It omitted a section in which he called for peaceful protest.

New York Times Trump Trots Out His Chaotic Greatest Hits to a Weary Public (11/10/2026):
The fun and games continued later on Monday when Mr. Trump called into the premiere of a C-SPAN show. A woman could be heard giggling in the background as the president’s call connected. The call was not on the president’s public schedule, but the cable network later said it had invited the president to join.
[snip]
Corrected on Nov. 11, 2026:
Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this story misstated the circumstances of a call President Trump made to C-SPAN. Mr. Trump was invited to call in. He did not call in unannounced.

New York Times Trump Trots Out His Chaotic Greatest Hits to a Weary Public (11/10/2026).
He wasn't done bashing the New York Times...
New York Times Alina Habba Mildon Faces Discipline Over Settlement at Trump Golf Club (11/10/2026):
The Office of Attorney Ethics in New Jersey recommended on Tuesday that Alina Habba Mildon, the former top federal prosecutor in the state, be disciplined for her role in settling a sexual harassment complaint brought years ago by a waitress at President Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
The office’s determination allows the case to move forward to a hearing and could result in penalties ranging from admonition to disbarment.
Kim D. Ringler, Mrs. Mildon’s lawyer, noted that Tuesday’s complaint is “the first step in a long process.”
“The claims are narrow, and we will work together to reach a fair and proportionate result, given the relatively less serious claims of professional misconduct from 2021,” Ms. Ringler said in an interview.
[snip]
At the time, Mrs. Mildon was a member of Trump National Golf Club Bedminster and had befriended a club waitress, Alice Bianco.
Ms. Bianco, then 21, had alleged that her boss at the club had engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment, including “quid pro quo sex in exchange for continued employment,” according to Tuesday’s filing.
Mrs. Mildon and Ms. Bianco traded a series of text messages and had one-on-one conversations that eventually led Ms. Bianco to drop her lawyer and accept a $15,000 settlement — “terms favorable to the golf club and unfavorable to Bianco,” the complaint states.
[snip]
The complaint found several violations of attorney ethics, including a conflict of interest and Mrs. Mildon’s “divided loyalties” as a dues-paying member of the club.
Tuesday’s ethics complaint follows a three-year inquiry that included at least one interview with Mrs. Mildon, who told investigators that she saw her role as a neutral third party. She asserted, according to the complaint, that her “job was to make everybody happy and make this move along so that everyone could get along with their lives.”
Johanna Barba Jones, the director of the Office of Attorney Ethics, rejected that argument, finding that Mrs. Mildon “could not have been a neutral in this matter.”
[snip]
The complaint by the Office of Attorney Ethics was not the only bit of bad news for Mrs. Mildon this month. Earlier on Tuesday, The New York Times reported that Mrs. Mildon had been fired last week by a family company that had given her a $50 million contract weeks before Mr. Trump granted a pardon to the family’s patriarch.
Narrator: The failing Puddle wrote about the “settling of a sexual harassment suit brought years ago by a waitress at President Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J.” What he failed to say is that it wasn't about the sexual harassment claim. it was about his one-time personal lawyer and short lived internim US Attorney for New Jersey ethics violations. A rather important omission. FAKE PUDDLE!
