This week on Ring of Fire!

Donald Trump wasted no time after an appeals court judge temporarily lifted the gag order on him from Judge Arthur Engoron. Trump immediately got to work by attacking the very same clerk that got him in trouble in the first place, and this is likely exactly what the court was looking for. Trump was put in front of a trap, and he walked right into it without even thinking about the consequences.

The Republican Chair of the House Ethics Committee on Friday introduced a new resolution to expel Republican Congressman George Santos from Congress, following the release of the damning Committee report the previous day. The report shows that Santos used campaign funds for everything from travel to adult websites, and it paints the picture of a wholly corrupted individual that will probably spend the next couple decades behind bars. But before that, he needs to be expelled from Congress.

Last week, the Supreme Court handed Ron DeSantis a significant defeat when they ruled that his drag performance ban could NOT be enforced while the issue is being litigated in the courts. This is NOT a reversal or overturning of the actual law - it only says that the law cannot be enforced while it is being challenged in the court system. However, it is still a blow to the Florida governor who desperately needed a win to save his campaign.

In an absolutely bonkers post on Truth Social, the mentally deteriorating Donald Trump accused Judge Arthur Engoron of being the one guilty of fraud, because Trump says that the whole fraud trial is a farce. The former President is becoming more unhinged and more unglued from reality as the possibility of losing his entire company really starts to set in, and he's doing everything he can to lash out and try to make himself feel better.

Just one month ago, shortly before becoming House Speaker, Republican Congressman Mike Johnson was on a televised prayer call with MAGA pastor Jim Garlow where Johnson prayed that God gives America one more chance - instead of giving us the retribution we "deserve." Congressman Johnson believes that America does, in fact, deserve to be punished by God, and in typical right wing evangelical fashion, he says that it is because of the LGBTQ Community. People like this are dangerous, and now they are in charge of the House.

All of that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire!
