Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump on Trump's West Palm Beach golf course last year, was found guilty Tuesday (Sept. 23, 2025) after a two-week trial on all five counts he faced. The jury took three hours to come to its verdict. He was forcibly removed from the courtroom in a chaotic scene, following the reading of the guilty verdict, after Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen in an apparent suicide bid.

The would-be golf assassin
My ginger assassin is so damn ugly.
Ryan Wesley Routh [a][5] (born Feb. 18, 1966) is an American who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at Trump's golf course during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Mr. Routh's motives are currently under investigation as he represents himself in court, acting as his own amateur defense attorney with a fool for a client.
Ryan Routh: self-hating ginger?
On Sept. 15, 2024, a Secret Service agent shot at least four rounds at Routh, who was allegedly hiding with an SKS-style rifle [6] in shrubbery at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He was pointing a weapon through the fence line of the golf course, 300–500 yards (250–450 meters) from Trump, who was moving between holes five and six alongside real estate investor Steve Witkoff.
Why couldn't someone take him out, Kamala?!
Routh fled the scene but was later arrested as the prime suspect [7][8]. An update given by the FBI on Sept. 16 mentioned that Routh had not fired his weapon [7][9][10] (but he could have). More
Man accused of killing healthcare CEO will NOT face state terrorism-related murder charges, but other charges will stand
People's hero or future model?
Handsome accused killer Luigi Mangione scored a major legal victory today (Tuesday, 9/16/25) as a judge dismissed the two top state charges against him, first-degree murder and second-degree murder, both of which prosecutors had argued were "terrorism" crimes.
Mangione still faces an additional second-degree murder charge, as well as a federal murder charge, in the killing [execution, assassination] of United HealthCare executive Brian Thompson last December.
I'm super smart, so I'll shoot this thief...
The overseer of Mangione’s state criminal case, Judge Gregory Carro, said “the evidence put forth was legally insufficient” for the two terrorism-related charges, in a written decision that was posted during a 15-minute proceeding in Manhattan court on Tuesday.
I got away by bike; my brows brought me down
“Counts one and two, charging [the] defendant with murder in the first degree (in furtherance of an act of terrorism) and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism, are dismissed as legally insufficient,” Judge Carro wrote. “The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional).” More
"He's so good looking, he could get away with murder," people say. Deny Defend Depose, the profit-driven insurance companies insist. Are the killers getting more handsome, or is it just me? Sweet, super smart shooters, why? Bonnie and Clyde were popular American figures, Jewish mafiosos who brought down Italian ones by selling them out to the Feds and destroying some families by working with the American government...and we as a population are cheering for more missiles to Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Yemen, Iran, Venezuela...like we just can't keep our missiles in the Pentagon's pants.
Race may play a role in these murder cases, because today the Menendez Brothers, stars of a documentary that almost got them released from prison, lost their bid to retry the case. Now their only hope for release is California Gov. Newsom. (What's in it for him since he intends to run for president and doesn't want to be accused of being "soft on crime"?) And in three years, they can go back to the prison board to petition for release.

If it can generally be agreed that Mr. Trump is an @$$clown, might the same be said of allegedly bright Barron? True, he might be related to father Donald (or possibly one of Melania's secret suitors), but is a child doomed to become like the father figure who raises him? Does Ivanka mentor the boy, does Melania so shield him as her pride and joy that no other family gets the chance to ruin him, or is the boy adrift in a sea of DNA that dooms him to become like Fred Trump's son?
Trump rants about scum in self-serving Memorial Day post, mad at KGBFF Putin, Macron shoved by wife
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) May 27, 2025: Trump spent his Memorial Day making everything about himself and “radical left lunatics,” he gave the commencement speech at West Point [Military Academy] on Saturday, where he gave a warning about trophy wives, he hosted an exclusive dinner for the top 220 griftees [fellow grifters] who purchased his new cryptocurrency in large amounts, it now seems that Trump may have misjudged his KGBff Putin, King Charles was in Canada to show his support for the Commonwealth during this difficult time, French Pres. Emanuel Macron was shoved in the face by his transsexual husband wife on camera while on a plane in Vietnam, and since the courtroom sketches from the Diddy trial don’t look like him at all, and the show went out on to Hollywood Blvd. with the actual sketches to ask pedestrians a simple question – WHO IS THIS? #Kimmel

Sex, drugs, and presidents: P. Diddy’s trial EXPLODES with wild claims
Rule #1: Don't mess with the Illuminati. Am I right, Oprah, Bill, Donald, Jay-Z?
I like Diddy. I told him. He's my kind of guy.
(Law&Crime Network) May 24, 2025: On the Case with Chris Stewart. Testimony from celebrities in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial has painted a disturbing picture of alleged abuse, drug use, and violent behavior. Explosive details also emerged involving Mr. Combs’ former assistant describing rampant drug use — including pills shaped like the face of Barry Soetoro (B.S.) Obama — and sex parties known as Freak Offs. Plus, the names of three U.S. presidents — B.S. Obama, Billy Clinton, and DJ Trump — have surfaced in the trial through witness testimonies. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart breaks it all down.
In the days of action cartoons, the hero always got caught up by the evil villains in such a way that there was no escape this time. But he always escaped. How, that was the question. We never saw that coming, the how. That he would escape, that was assured. How, that we never knew. Often the writers had to cheat physics or go back a little further to show the great escape. Judge Juan Merchan should throw the book at felon Trump, but he has promised no punishment, just ignominy, a little humiliation, a legacy of disgrace, sexual abuse, felonies all over the place, and Trump an unindicted co-conspirator in what his associates were up to on his behalf.

Long ago, so long ago that almost no one can remember, Justin Timberlake was involved in a planned wardrobe "malfunction" with Janet Jackson, Michael's sister. People say it was totally staged, and she got in big trouble -- shamed and cancelled. Nothing happened to him. His reputation grew if anything. But things have a funny way of coming back to us and biting us in the shorts. Now they have taken a big bite out of Timberlake's alcohol-abusing shorts. He has no... "What do you mean he has no...? He's bringing sexy back! What's that tiny bulge?" That? That's just bunched up shorts. "Oh. Wow. Have you taken into consideration 'shrinkage'?" He wasn't swimming; he was flying.

Oh, my boob, Justin, it's showing on national TV. - Whoa, I am so surprised that I did that!
.
I should never have drunk that drink.
Former NSYNC ("in sink") bandmate Justin Timberlake experienced a noticeably awkward wardrobe malfunction while performing on stage last week.
During the Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena stop of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, Timberlake attempted to situate himself in a harness while performing “Mirrors.”
Unfortunately for the singer, the strap around his lower body was too tight, causing his groin area to hit the spotlight.
The entire ordeal was captured on video and quickly posted on TikTok. The comments section was quickly filled with compliments and criticism.
“The way my jaw dropped,” one TikTok user wrote.
“Honey, NO ONE TOLD HIM during rehearsals? Oof.”
“A confirmation I didn’t need,” another TikToker commented. “But a confirmation nonetheless.”
“I think you saw Justin’s Timber,” a TikToker told the video’s creator, who replied with a cry-laughing emoji.
“Just because you seen it doesn’t mean that we have to,” a fellow TikTok user added.
Other TikTok users pointed out that the harness wasn’t needed for the show.
“Justin Timberlake has no business flying in the air during his concerts,” a TikToker criticized.
Other TikTokers referenced Chris Brown, who was stuck in the air mid-concert due to a harness issue.
Justin Timberlake deals with personal life issues amid his Forget Tomorrow World Tour
I'm bringing sexy back, Everybody!
The wardrobe malfunction at Bridgestone Arena occurred just months after Justin Timberlake had dealt with personal life struggles.
The “Can’t Stop the Feeling” hitmaker’s problems began last summer when he was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York.
In September, Timberlake pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving while ability impaired and received 25 hours of community service, a $500 fine, and a 90-day driver’s license suspension [and a talking to by his beautiful celebrity wife, Jessica Biel, about wanting a divorce].
He must also make a public safety announcement, urging drivers not to get behind the wheel after drinking.
However, the issues didn’t stop after the sentencing. Rumors began circulating that things between Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, weren’t going well.
A source close to the couple told People that they have moved on from the arrest and are “relieved that it’s in the past.”
“They are both committed to staying married,” the insider shared.
“Jess [Biel] thinks he’s a wonderful dad [and doesn't care about his penile issues one bit, not one bit]....” More
Satirical news site The Onion (theonion.com) has won the bidding to acquire the assets of Alex Jones' Infowars, with the support of Sandy Hook [false flag] families. The site unironically acquired Infowars after their auction bid was selected by the court-appointed bankruptcy trustee overseeing the Free Speech Systems bankruptcy proceedings.
Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the USA, will be the exclusive launch advertiser for the site in the new venture.
The Onion's goal in acquiring the site was "to end Infowars' relentless barrage of disinformation [and/or misinformation] for the sake of selling supplements and replace it with The Onion's relentless barrage of humor for good," the company said in a press release.
Financial details of the bid were not disclosed. The publication plans to launch the new platform in January 2025.
"The Onion has a long history of helping the American public navigate some of the most difficult moments in American life, from our historic issue after 9/11 to our groundbreaking reportage after every American mass shooting. In that tradition, we hope the Sandy Hook families will be able to marvel at the cosmic joke we will soon make of InfoWars.com," said The Onion's CEO Ben Collins.
Jon Stewart on what went wrong for Democrats | The Daily Show
(The Daily Show) Nov. 11, 2024: Jon Stewart's post-election analysis: what Democrats prepped for, what went wrong, and how the pundits who got it all wrong are now the ones pointing fingers. #DailyShow #Democrats #Election
Analysis by Jimmy Dore & Co.
Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?
Author Thomas Frank has 4.5 out of 5 stars with 1,814 ratings. From the bestselling author of What's the Matter with Kansas, a scathing look at the standard-bearers of liberal politics, here's a book that asks:
What's the matter with Democrats?
It is a widespread belief among liberals that if only Democrats can continue to dominate national elections, if only those awful Republicans are beaten into submission, the country will be on the correct course.
But this is to fundamentally misunderstand the modern Democratic Party.
Drawing on years of research and firsthand reporting, Frank points out that the Democrats have done little to advance traditional liberal goals:
expanding opportunity,
fighting for social justice, and
ensuring that workers get a fair deal.
Justice now! For big killer cats
Indeed, they have scarcely dented the free-market consensus at all. This is not for lack of opportunity: Democrats have occupied the White House for 16 of the last 24 years, yet the decline of the middle class has only accelerated.
Wall Street gets bailed out, wages keep falling, and the free trade deals keep coming.
With his trademark sardonic wit and lacerating logic, Frank lays bare the essence of the Democratic Party's philosophy and how it has changed over the years.
A form of corporate and cultural elitism has largely eclipsed the party's old working-class commitment, he finds. For certain favored groups, this has meant prosperity.
But for the nation as a whole, it is a one-way ticket into the abyss of inequality. In this critical election year, Frank recalls the Democrats to their historic goals -- the only way to reverse the ever-deepening rift between the rich and the poor in America. More(Audiobook)
