Trump Slams Fox News Shortly After Gushing Over Bret Baier’s Hostile Interview of Kamala Harris

Posted by on October 17, 2024 at 2:20 pm. NO Comments :

The list of mental infirmities that Donald Trump suffers from seems to get longer with each passing day. He has been credibly diagnosed as a narcissist, a sociopath, as emotionally stunted, and a pathological liar, to name just a few. And then there’s his paranoia, anxiety, and delusions of both grandeur and victimization.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Now we can add Cognitive Dissonance Disorder, a condition wherein the subject holds two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. The symptoms of this malady exhibited by Trump were evident in his recent comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was reacting to the programs he was watching on Fox News, the network that he alternatively regards as his Ministry of Propaganda, or just another “fake news” enterprise that is determined to destroy him. In Trump’s mind, all Fox programs must be tailored to exalt him. Such as…

Late Wednesday night Trump posted a comment that lauded the network and its allegedly “hard news” anchor, Bret Baier, for the hit job he did on Kamala Harris (full interview here). Trump was effusive in his praise saying…

“Great job by Bret Baier in his Interview with Lyin’ Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. […] For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!”

It’s no wonder that Trump loved the interview where Baier spent most of his time badgering and interrupting Harris. She could barely get a complete sentence out before Baier would jump in to prevent her from getting her point across. For example…

That went on for twenty minutes. And throughout, Harris kept her composure and still managed to express herself effectively. Not that that matters so much to the Fox News audience that is primed to attack whatever she says, no matter how reasonable and compelling. And in this case, she had to do it while dodging the obstacles that Baier kept throwing in her path.

Trump also lashed out at Harris for having what he called “inferior Cognitive ability.” Which is just another of Trump’s psychotic afflictions, known as “projection.” While Harris has never shown any hint of cognitive decline, Trump can barely complete a thought without diverging into bizarre absurdities that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. His demand that she take a cognitive test is hysterical. Although, she might want to agree to it if he will. Which he won’t.

A few hours after posting the comment swooning over Baier’s interview, Trump posted another comment that had an entirely different tone. This time he blasted the network’s CEO, Suzanne Scott, asking…

“Why does Suzanne Scott of FoxNews keep putting on third rate ‘talking heads’ like Jessica Tarlov, Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, ‘something’ Wolf, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and other Radical Left Lunatics that lie, and make up statements.” […]

“[N]ot a moment goes by when I’m not looking at negative, false Ads that the other camp stuffs the Fox airwaves with. If I win…it is DESPITE Fox, not because of them!”

Once again, Trump is acting out his psychoses by accusing every Fox News commentator that isn’t an indoctrinated member of his cult, of being a “Radical Left Lunatic” who lies. He has stated repeatedly that Fox should never allow anyone on their air who isn’t a devoted MAGA disciple. that includes pundits on the Fox payroll, as well as politicos invited on as guests.

So in the course of less than half a day, Trump expressed both his love and hatred for Fox News. Which raises a couple of pertinent questions. First, What the f**k is wrong with him? Trump is utterly incapable of maintaining a consistent, coherent thought. And second, what the f**k is wrong with Fox News? Why would they allow Trump to castigate their network so bitterly and still remain so faithful to him?

It’s the same sort of fear-based response that members of the Republican Party have. The GOP and Fox News are both terrified of alienating Trump and his glassy-eyed cult followers. And Trump is afraid that people will see through his cheesy facade and discover that he’s fraud and a coward. But all of them are going to find out that their charades cannot be sustained for long.

Fox News already found out, or should have, when they settled a defamation lawsuit for 3/4 of a billion dollars. And Trump’s time of reckoning may be come as soon as November 5th, if the American people turn out to vote.

Fox News Hosts a MAGA-Only ‘Town Hall’ that is Actually a Lie-Riddled Trump Campaign Infomercial

Posted by on October 16, 2024 at 2:20 pm. 4 Comments :

With only three weeks left until Election Day, Donald Trump is continuing his tour of ultra-friendly media venues where he knows he will be shielded from any difficult questions by the slobbering sycophants who preside over the brazenly partisan love fests. By contrast, Kamala Harris is fanning out across the nation, doing interviews with a wide variety of politically diverse hosts and audiences.

Donald Trump TV Set

However, somehow, even with the benefit of appearing only before adoring cult followers, Trump still manages to humiliate himself by failing to provide coherent responses to comically Nerfball questions. Even worse, he keeps delivering profoundly disturbing messages that affirm his aspirations to become America’s first openly fascist dictator who hates this country and its people.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

On Wednesday morning Trump appeared on what was billed as a Fox News “town hall” that would feature an all woman studio audience and address women’s issues. It was hosted by the network’s notorious Trump-fluffer, Harris Faulkner. But as might be expected, it was actually an hour long Trump campaign infomercial that he got for free, courtesy of his Ministry or Propaganda, where he knew that there wouldn’t be any inquiries that might rattle or confuse him. And yet, they still did.

Since Trump is a feeble and cowardly narcissist who thrives on constant, unflinching adulation, the producers at Fox News made sure that there would be only Trump supporters in the audience. Which made it possible for him to dodge, deflect, lie, and weave, in order to avoid being responsive, or even rational. There has already been a fact check of his infomercial that found at least 19 flagrant falsehoods.

Trump’s derangement was nowhere as evident as in his reply to a question about previous remarks he made where he called Americans who disagreed with him “the enemy within” who were “more dangerous than China and Russia.” He went farther to say that these “radical left lunatics should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So he is proposing to use the military against his political foes. In the town hall/infomercial, Trump doubled down saying that…

“It is the enemy from within. And they are very dangerous. They’re Marxists and communists and fascists, and they’re sick. I use a guy like Adam Schiff. They made up the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. It took two years to solve the problem. Absolutely nothing was done wrong. They are dangerous for our country. We have China, we have Russia, all these countries. If you have a smart president, they can be handled. The more difficult are the Pelosis. These people they are so sick and they are so evil…They were saying I was like threatening. I am not threatening anybody. They are the ones doing the threatening…They’re the threat to democracy.”

No one should be fooled into believing that Trump has the slightest idea what the words Marxist, communist, or fascist mean. He just uses these terms the way a seven year old would use “poopyhead.” But more to the point, Trump is lashing out at Democrats like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi because they revealed his traitorous misconduct that got him impeached twice. He is making it clear that the people he thinks should be “handled” by the military include congressional representatives elected by the voters.

Trump apparently doesn’t see how that kind of hostile rhetoric is threatening. And he has been even more direct in his threats against fellow citizens and the press. He has called Americans who dare to defy him “vermin.” And he calls the press “the enemy of the people.” So make no mistake, if Trump gets his way he will seek to punish those he regards as insufficiently worshipful and, if he deems it “necessary,” he will order the military to round them all up and in some manner dispose of them. And “them” means YOU!

Totally Deranged: Trump Gets Hopelessly Lost in His Own Warped ‘Weave’ of Lies and Deflections

Posted by on October 15, 2024 at 2:41 pm. 3 Comments :

The evidence of Donald Trump’s mental infirmities has been frightfully abundant. The more public appearances he makes, the more obvious is his descent into babbling incoherence. That may be why his campaign staff is strictly limiting his interviews and exposure.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

In recent weeks Trump has chickened out of a traditional 60 Minutes interview that has featured both Republicans and Democrats for 50 years. He refuses to have a second debate with Kamala Harris. He has declined to release his medical records, while preposterously accusing Harris of having cognitive problems. And he remains firmly ensconced within his MAGA-friendly bunker, only agreeing to visit with slobbering sycophants and cult disciples.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

On Tuesday morning Trump did a Q&A at the Economic Club of Chicago hosted by John Micklethwait, Editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. And to no one’s surprise, it went straight and abysmally south as Trump failed to grasp what the heck was going on. In each instance Trump wandered far afield from the subject and had to be handheld back. What follows are a few of the exchanges that illustrate his extreme enfeeblement…

Micklethwait: Should Google be broken up?
Trump: I can’t believe the DOJ is suing Virginia over its voter rolls. I haven’t gotten over that.
Micklethwait: The question is about Google, Mr. Trump.

The tangent that Trump travels down here is a blatant lie. He asserts that the Justice Department sued the state of Virginia to make them retain “illegal votes.” In reality, the DoJ only sought to have Virginia comply with federal law which prohibits removing voter registrations (not votes as Trump said) within 90 days of an election. That’s because doing so can result in valid registrations being deleted without sufficient notice or time for the voter to re-register. Trump never answered the question about breaking up Google. Nor did mention his threat to prosecute the company for hurting his feelings. And then…

Trump: I call it the weave. [unintelligible] You have the weave as long as you end up in the right location at the end.
Micklethwait: I was asking about tariffs.

In this fantasy, Trump babbles about World War III and his claim to have “knocked out ISIS” which, of course, is still very much in existence and conducting its terror operations. None of that had anything to do with tariffs. And even after Micklethwait tried to bring Trump back to Earth, he still couldn’t give a coherent response. And then…

Micklethwait: I’ve asked about the Federal Reserve.
Trump: You’ve got to be able to finish a thought.
Micklethwait: You’ve gone from the dollar to Macron.
Trump: No, I’m just telling you basic, uh it’s called the weave.

Clearly Trump is incapable of focusing on the subject at hand. And even when he is reminded what the conversation is about, he is unable to contribute anything relevant to the dialog. His remarks are a toxic mixture of ignorance and absurdity. And when he repeatedly refers to what he calls the “weave,” every sane listener just thinks he’s talking about that rat’s nest atop his head. Nobody thinks that spewing gibberish about unrelated matters is a sign of intelligence. Well, nobody other than the glassy-eyed disciples that populate his cult.

Trump, Who Refuses to Release Medical Records, Calls for Kamala Harris to Take a Cognitive Test

Posted by on October 14, 2024 at 3:33 pm. 2 Comments :

When President Biden ended his reelection campaign in July, he elevated Donald Trump to the status of being the oldest person ever to be running for the presidency. And that distinction comes with some of the baggage that weighed on Biden’s campaign before he passed the torch to Kamala Harris. Namely, is there – or should there be – a maximum age to serve as president?

Click here to Tweet this article

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The answer to that question depends a great deal on the particular candidate. People develop age-related issues at different times as they grow older. However, sometimes the evidence of cognitive decline is apparent to any objective and impartial observer. And if any candidate deserves to be scrutinized as insufficiently capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency, it is Donald Trump.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

Among the psychological syndromes that plague Trump is one known as “projection,” a defense mechanism where someone unconsciously or consciously attributes their own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto another person or group. And a clearer description of Trump’s latest attack on Harris would be hard to find. In a late-night post on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lashed out saying that…

“I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers,’ with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!”

So Trump, who is unable to get through his cult rallies without wandering off into deranged diversions about the fictional film cannibal, Hannibal Lector, or fears of electrocution in a sea of swarming sharks, thinks that Harris needs to take a cognitive test. That’s the same guy who thinks that his rallies draw ten times as many people as would fit in the venue, but Harris’ rallies that are filled to the rafters are attended by nobody. And it’s the same guy who flaunts fantastical fantasies about migrants eating dogs and cats.

In his comment Trump refers to the 60 Minutes interview that Harris did, and which Trump initially agreed to, but later chickened out. And in his reference he lies about the editing of the segment, even calling it illegal.

MORE HERE: Trump Threatens CBS Over Kamala Harris Interview on 60 Minutes He Says Was ‘Possibly Illegal’

What’s more, Trump’s call for Harris to take a cognitive test ignores the fact that she just released the complete results of her medical exam. This is something that Trump has promised to do, but like his taxes, healthcare plan, infrastructure bill, and so much more, it’s a promise that has gone unfulfilled.

Trump surely has good reasons for refusing to release his medical records. If they had any positive info in them, he would have released them with a huge fanfare weeks ago. So it’s safe to assume there’s something troubling that he needs to hide. And that is behavior that’s consistent with his refusal to do any interviews outside of his MAGA-friendly safety bubble, or participation in another debate with Harris. He’s just plain scared. His staff knows it. And so does the Harris campaign.

Trump’s mental deficiencies have also been noticed by over 250 doctors and health care providers who are now calling on him Trump to release his medical records. In an open letter they wrote that “his refusal to disclose even basic health information is a disservice to the American people.”

“On August 20, Donald Trump said he would ‘very gladly’ release his medical records. In the 55 days since, he has yet to do so. With no recent disclosure of health information from Donald Trump, we are left to extrapolate from public appearances. And on that front, Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.” […]

“We are seeing that from Trump, as he uses his rallies and appearances to ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances. He also is notably refusing to give the public the ability to properly vet or scrutinize his capacities. Just last week, he backed out of an interview with 60 Minutes, and he is refusing to debate Vice President Harris again.”

The medical info that Harris release included the results of a neuropsychiatric exam. It is now imperative that Trump take the same tests and release the results. But if anyone is holding their breath waiting for Trump to do that, they might soon be in need on medical attention themselves.

Speaker Johnson Glorifies Dear Leader Trump’s Glorious Health, Rejects Calls for Medical Records

Posted by on October 13, 2024 at 3:47 pm. 7 Comments :

Any rational person who has been paying attention to the MAGA movement led by Donald Trump cannot help but recognize its similarities with cults from the past. He tolerates no dissension from his missionaries in politics and the press. His flock are glassy-eyed disciples who can see no wrong. And he employs the first rule of cults: Only Dear Leader will tell you the Truth. Everyone else is lying.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

The obvious parallels between cults and MAGA should strike fear into the hearts of Americans who value the democratic principles that have formed the foundation of this constitutional republic for 250 years. Trump’s emergence as a demagogic figure threatens to put an end to the freedoms that the American people have enjoyed, and replace them with servitude to the wannabe messiah.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth

On Sunday morning, one of Trump’s most loyal ministers, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, was interviewed on NBC’s Meet the Press. And the sermon he delivered there was extraordinarily reverential and bursting with blind devotion. It was a display of unfettered fealty to his salmonesque savior. The exchange began with host Kristen Welker asking Johnson whether Trump should release his medical records – which Johnson said were “irrelevant” – but descended into flagrant lies and worshipful exaltation almost immediately.

Welker: Should Donald Trump release all of his medical records, Mr. Speaker?
Johnson: He has. He issued – he issued the records of his physicians. Kamala Harris issued her medical records as diversion because she’s desperate, because she’s sinking in the polls. Donald Trump’s health is on display. Everyone in America can see it. The man works nonstop. He never quits. He probably sleeps four hours a night. He doesn’t require as much sleep as the average person. He’s an unusual figure. And this is the strength that we need in a time like this. We’re in the most dangerous moment since World War II. You have to have strength. You have to have a steady hand. You have to have a commander-in-chief that our allies respect and our enemies fear. They do not fear Kamala Harris. They do fear Donald Trump. That’s what people are going to vote on.
Welker: Mr. Speaker, just be very clear, he hasn’t released all of his medical records. He released two letters. Should he release the results of the cognitive tests?
Johnson: It’s unnecessary. He’s on display every minute.

There’s a lot of blatant BS to unpack here. Let’s start with Johnson’s barefaced lie that Trump has released his medical records. He has not. Johnson was, however, correct that Kamala Harris did release hers. And not as a diversion (she is currently leading in most polls), but because every presidential candidate for decades – except for Trump – has done so.

The only thing Trump released was an outdated and letter with no details from last year describing a partial physical that did not include cognitive testing, and two letters from disgraced former doctor, Ronny Jackson, who claims that he treated Trump after his “ear death” experience in Pennsylvania. He did not perform a complete physical on Trump at that time. Jackson is currently unlicensed, and was demoted in retirement from the Navy due to misconduct involving drugs and alcohol.

Johnson went on to assert that Trump’s medical records weren’t needed because his perfect health was evident and that “Everyone in America can see it.” That is hardly an alternative to a physical exam by a qualified professional. Trump could have numerous problems that are not visible to laymen watching him on TV, or measurable without laboratory tests. They could include any number of bio-deficiencies or abnormal growths. And certainly any mental defect would require closer scrutiny. Although there has been a great deal of that evident in Trump’s bizarre and incoherent ravings at his rallies and in recent interviews.

Johnson also lauded Trump’s alleged stamina. But boasting that he doesn’t sleep much is more a sign of depravation than fitness. Likewise, claims that America’s enemies “fear Donald Trump” are preposterous. Mostly they laugh at him. If there is any hint of fear it’s due to his mental instability, not his strength or intellect, both of which he is lacking. Which our enemies know and are adept at manipulating him.

Trump’s failure to release his medical records is certainly due to their having bad news in them. If they were positive he would have released them on live TV weeks ago. It’s the same reason he has refused to release his financial and tax records. He is afraid to let the American people see the truth.

Johnson knows all of this, but he is to deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult to be honest about it. In the meantime, Democrats and other sane Americans need to stay focused on winning in November. It is more imperative now than ever.

Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

Posted by on October 12, 2024 at 1:06 pm. 3 Comments :

If it hasn’t been abundantly obvious where Donald Trump’s loyalties lie, he was thoughtful enough to provide a timely reminder at his recent cult rally in Colorado. It was just the latest example of Trump saying out loud the repugnant opinions percolating in his broken brain bucket.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

The Colorado clan conference consisted mainly of Trump whining about his crumbling campaign, lying about President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, insulting everyone who he deems insufficiently worshipful, maligning immigrants as monstrous and violent subhumans, and rambling incoherently about indecipherable nonsense. In other words, same old, same old Trump.

SEE THIS: OUCH! Trump’s Flagrant Lies About 14,000 ‘Criminal’ Migrants Gets a Devastating Fact-Check

However, the tediously repetitive playlist that Trump unloads at every one of his rallies does seem to be losing steam with many of the attendees who can be seen leaving while he is still in full rage on the stage. So he will occasionally try to interject something new for his audience that is anxiously awaiting more of his hallmark hate speech.

In the Colorado address, Trump offered up a wide ranging assault on the American people. He made it perfectly plain that he regards his fellow citizens as enemies and America’s enemies as friends. He said that…

“You know, I always say we have the outside enemy. So you can say China. You can say Russia. You can say Kim Jong Un. But that’s not [indecipherable gibberish]. If you have a smart president, no problem. It’s the enemy from within. All the scum that we have to deal with that hate our country. That’s a bigger enemy than China and Russia.”

To be clear, those who Trump describes as “scum” are anyone who disagrees with him or dares to criticize him. This isn’t a new line of attack for Trump. He has always had a vicious animosity toward people who wouldn’t kiss his – let’s say ring. But in these remarks he is explicitly castigating the Americans who he would supposedly be pledging to serve if elected.

At the same time, Trump is minimizing the threat of actual enemies such as China and Russia. Which isn’t surprising considering Trump’s long admiration for their tyrannical leaders that he hopes to emulate. Trump has been a fervent supporter of Vladimir Putin and his invasion of our ally, Ukraine. And Trump is still doing business with China. Even his phony “God Bless America” bibles were produced there for about three bucks each, and resold to his cult for $60.00.

So with Trump declaring that Americans are a bigger threat than China and Russia, he proposes draconian measures to oppress the citizens that he despises. His plans include the construction of concentration camps and mass deportations, even of legal residents. And he continues to disparage democracy with his obsession with the 2020 election that he still says was “rigged and stolen” from him. Consequently, he refuses to say that he will honor the results of the 2024 election.

Sound familiar? It reeks of the fascism of the 1930s that Trump has a great affinity for. And if you need further confirmation of Trump’s leanings, just listen to what Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Trump administration, said about Trump in the new book “War” by Bob Woodward…

“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core.”

It’s hard to add anything to that. So I won’t.

UPDATE: Trump told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News that “the enemy from within [are] sick people, radical left lunatics [that] should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So Trump is now promising to use the U.S. military against American citizens who don’t support him.

Trump Now Says that Obama Will Vote for Him – His Dementia is Getting Worse by the Minute

Posted by on October 11, 2024 at 4:13 pm. 1 Comments :

The heartbreak of mental illness has touched millions of lives. And it is even more grievous when the one suffering has no support from family or friends or others who care enough to intervene and seek treatment. In such cases the poor soul is left to wallow in despair while diverging ever farther from reality.

Click here to Tweet this article

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

Such is the case with Donald Trump. He has been noticeably demented for several years. His delusions have overtaken any ability to relate to the real world. It’s what causes him to insist that windmills cause cancer, that hurricanes can be stopped by nuking them, that bleach injections cure COVID, that a few thousand people at his rallies are actually 100,000 or more, and that he is leading in all the polls.

SEE THIS: Trump is Suffering From a Severe Case of Self-Deception on a Level Never Seen Before

On Friday morning Trump posted yet another bizarre claim that vividly illustrates the depth of his dementia. The comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, said that…

“Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men. I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!”

There’s a surprising amount of malarkey in that deceptively brief outburst. Let’s begin with Trump’s preposterous claim that former President Barack Obama “admitted” that Black men have a “total lack of enthusiasm” for Kamala Harris. In fact, a broad majority of Black men (77%) support Harris. What Trump is grossly mangling are remarks Obama made about support by Black men not being equal to the level that he received, which was a bit higher. He merely wanted to motivate even more Black men to get behind Harris than the three quarters that already are.

Secondly, Trump’s prediction that Obama will vote for him due to his flagrantly false claim about Harris supporters, is beyond ridiculous. Just yesterday, Obama gave a rousing speech to tens of thousands of people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in support of Harris. In what deranged fantasy world would Obama possibly even consider supporting Trump?

Finally, Trump had to tack on another of his infantile insults, calling Harris “an extremely Low IQ Person.” This is nothing new for Trump. He has been saying that about her (and every other person he doesn’t like) for months. But this time he is attributing that opinion to Obama, who obviously has an enormous amount of respect for Harris and her extraordinary abilities and intellect.

MORE HERE: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

Back here on Earth, Trump is the one who is lacking the support of Black men, and women too for that matter. And if the polls are any indication, he’s falling behind Harris among many other critical voter demographics, including youth and the working class. As for intelligence, Trump can’t hope to compete with Harris, and he knows it. That’s why he has steadfastly refused to meet her in another debate after the first walloping he suffered.

So all Trump is left with is his bucket of lies and ludicrous comments like the one above. And with his cognitive functions declining rapidly, he is destined for a brutal final three weeks of this campaign. So expect him to get even worse as he realizes the desperate straits he is in. Particularly since his his post-election prospects include the distinct possibility of prison.

UH-OH! News Corpse Has Been Suspended on Daily Kos

Posted by on October 11, 2024 at 11:47 am. 27 Comments :

I would like to apologize in advance for this totally self-serving note, but I thought some of my readers might like to know.

Click here to Tweet this article

Twitter Bird Censorship

Daily Kos has suspended my account because they said my headline was “hyperbolic” and inaccurate. For that they have suspended me for 2 weeks during the most important final days of the presidential election.

This is so frustrating, because they don’t provide any way to appeal or explain their action. So I’m just immediately muzzled, despite my many years as a good faith contributor to the site. The headline on the article in question, and the change made by the site admin, is…

Mine: TYRANT TRUMP Demands that ALL Network TV Licenses Be Revoked and that He Be Declared President
Admin: Trump calls for network broadcast licenses to be revoked and for Democrats to concede election

I suppose the part that they object to is that I said Trump would be declared president. But it’s not much of a distinction from demanding that Harris concede. What would then be the result, other than Trump being de facto declared the winner?

I don’t know why they couldn’t just ask for the change and allow me to continue posting. Also, I am now under a threat of being permanently banned. And I can’t even post any article on the site to inform others there that this occurred. Maybe someone else will.

In the meantime, I hope you all continue to enjoy and benefit from my work to advance progressive causes and candidates, and revealing the dishonesty of right-wing media. And now, on to elect Kamala Harris and every other Democrat running this year.

UPDATE: A Daily Kos member named Shockwave has posted an article about my suspension. It is getting some great comments that are supportive and for which I am grateful. And there’s also a poll with over 5,700 votes where 85% oppose the suspension. Thanks to all.

FOR THE RECORD: This is the third time that Daily Kos has suspended my account. Each of the other times seemed unwarranted to me and were disputed, but no re-consideration was given. They were…

FIRST: An article titled “Trump Posts Video Confirming that He Illegally Bought a Gun that His Campaign Denies He Bought”
Daily Kos asserted that the headline was inaccurate because Trump didn’t actually buy the gun. However, Trump actually did post a video on his Truth Social site that said that he bought the gun. I didn’t say he bought it. The video he posted said that. And that’s what my headline said. So it was totally accurate. But even if they still had a problem with the headline, they could have just asked for it to be changed. Instead. they just suspended my account without consultation or opportunity to appeal.

SECOND: An article titled “Trump’s Truth Social Reports Massive Losses and Warns that it Could Go Out of Business”
Daily Kos pointed out that part of the information in the article was incorrect. That’s because my source, the Hollywood Reporter, modified its article several hours after it was originally published. My reference to it was correct at the time that I read it. So Daily Kos was punishing me for quoting verbatim from a reputable news source that I corroborated from additional sources (NBC News, Forbes), who all reported the same thing. And the change didn’t even affect the substance of the story, just the amount of the loss, which was still huge. They could have alerted me to the update and asked for an edit. but once again, they just suspended my account without consultation or opportunity to appeal.

This latest matter, along with those from the past, are unfortunate incidents that I believe stem from overly sensitive moderators who refuse to consider rational appeals. Consequently, there is nothing that authors on their website can do about it. So now I’m facing a potential permanent ban based on three incidents that should not have been considered violations in the first place. Which raises the question of whether to bother continuing to post there. In the end, it’s the community that makes Daily Kos worthwhile, and if I stay, that will be why.

Tyrant Trump Demands ALL TV News Licenses Be Revoked and Kamala Harris Concede the Election

Ordinarily, a presidential candidate would conduct their campaign in a manner that would amplify his or her most appealing character traits and suppress or minimize those most likely to alienate or repulse voters. But the campaign of Donald Trump is, to say the very least, anything but ordinary.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

During his short career in politics, Trump has managed to project an extraordinary variety of repulsive traits. They include his rancid prejudices (racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc.), his pathetically infantile responses to well deserved criticism, his pitiful ignorance of life in America (government, history, law, culture, etc.), his noxious and delusional narcissism, and perhaps most troubling, his affinity for foreign dictators that mirrors his own authoritarian aspirations. The latter he actually said aloud to his Fox News pal, Sean Hannity…

Now, as Election Day draws nearer, Trump is continuing to emphasize the personality defects that repel the most people. In a series of utterly unhinged rants on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lashed out at the media that he despises with rhetoric that confirms his dreams of tyrannical power. It was an absurd extension of his previous outburst threatening to revoke the broadcast license of CBS for airing a 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris. Now he is including ALL broadcast networks. He began by bellowing…

“A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to hide that fact. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!! The Dems got them to do this and should be forced to concede the Election? WOW!”

Needless to say, Trump has no evidence that CBS altered anything that Harris said in the interview, other than routine editing for time. Trump is manifesting figments of his severely perverse imagination. Furthermore, there would be nothing illegal about such editing if it did occur. Consequently, Trump’s demand that Harris “be forced to concede the Election.” is what psychiatrists would describe as “NUTZ!” It’s an impotent demand that Trump is making because he knows that he is losing. But he was just getting started. He continued his rant saying that…

“60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS — and maybe even WORSE!”

Once again, CBS did nothing wrong. But Trump’s “solution” to what his diseased brain is concocting is to revoke the licenses of ALL broadcast networks. Because that’s precisely what his idols (Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, etc.) would do. Never mind that networks are not licensed by the federal government, only individual stations. What Trump is proposing is, nevertheless, an open assault on the First Amendment of the Constitution and contrary to American principles. But why would Trump care about that now. He never has before. Then he wound up by saying that…

“With me, 60 Minutes does the exact opposite! They take everything I say, realize how totally BRILLIANT it is, and take it out. So, with Kamala they add, with ‘TRUMP,’ they delete. Like the Democrat Party, THEY ARE A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

Once again, Trump is suffering from bizarre hallucinations. He didn’t do (aka chickened out of) the 60 Minutes interview this week, so there was nothing he said to delete, and certainly nothing that was “brilliant.” Even if he were referring to an interview from 2020, it was Trump who cut it short, walking out before it was completed. Lately he has been demanding that Lesley Stahl apologize to him for something that she never said in that interview.

What Trump is whining about in these comments should be a bright red flag for American voters. Trump is promising that, if returned to power, he would abuse it in the same way that his totalitarian heroes do. And if he would abuse power to oppress the media, he would abuse it to oppress every other institution – and even individuals – that he finds objectionable, or that are insufficiently worshipful of him.

That should be the message that Americans take into the voting booth this year. And they must vote for Harris and Walz if they want to preserve America’s free press and, even more foundational, America’s democracy.

Trump Threatens CBS Over Kamala Harris Interview on 60 Minutes He Says Was ‘Possibly Illegal’

Posted by on October 9, 2024 at 1:19 pm. 4 Comments :

Donald Trump has spent the past nine years castigating the media in the most vile terms. He regularly insults journalists as “stupid,” “lying,” “corrupt,” and biased against him, simply because they report the things he actually does and says. He maligns them with the same language that Stalin used, calling them “the enemy of the people.”

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump’s fear and fury at the press is a core feature of his perverse persona. He labels any reporting that isn’t sufficiently worshipful “fake news.” Even his official Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) isn’t safe from his seething animosity. And his anger extends far beyond mere insults and tantrums. He often issues impotent threats if a news network has the audacity to engage in responsible journalism. For example…

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Threatens to Revoke ABC News Broadcast License in Fox News Interview

On Wednesday morning Trump was so bothered by a recent media event that he unleashed a rambling and rancid rant on his failing social media scam, Truth Social. The object of his outrage was the 60 Minutes interview of Vice-President Kamala Harris on Monday. Trump had agreed to participate at first, but later chickened out because he objected to their insistence on {gasp} fact-checking. And now, after the fact, Trump is lashing out with another lame and utterly preposterous threat. He raged that…

“I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better. It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation.”

What Trump is whining about is that 60 Minutes edited the Harris interview, something that is done routinely in television journalism for legitimate reasons, including time constraints, clarity, and relevance. Trump’s assertion that some answers were edited “four times in a single sentence” is downright bonkers. And there is no indication whatsoever that Harris’ answers were altered to effect some political advantage. Trump’s complaint doesn’t even make sense, because he’s accusing CBS of edits that resulted in the answers being “virtually incoherent.” How would that help Harris?

Most troubling is Trump’s charge that the 60 Minutes interview was in some way “illegal.” As usual, Trump doesn’t provide any evidence of a crime, nor any statute that has been violated. He simply believes that if it bothers him it must be against the law. So he latches onto the fact that TV stations (not network “news divisions”) must be licensed to use the public airwaves. Which is his way of threatening CBS with the revocation of its license if they do not comply with his tyrannical demands.

This threat is consistent with Trump’s abhorrence of the free press. And it’s also consistent with his flaming hypocrisy. He has never complained that Fox News regularly (albeit futilely) edits his interviews to make him look better. He has never accused Newsmax of campaign finance violations for their slobbering sycophancy. And he doesn’t seem to object to the constant “sane-washing“ of his demented speeches by the rest of the so-called “mainstream” media. Which leads us to the rest of his Truth(less) (anti)Social comment…

“This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable – It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in ‘News.’ It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today!”

The public is indeed owed an apology – from Trump. His hostility toward the press is another example of his imminent threat to democracy. And his attempts to intimidate the media are antithetical to the Constitution that he has said he would “terminate.”

If this is “an open and shut case,” why is Trump yammering about it on his website that no one but his glassy-eyed cult followers read, rather than filing a complaint with the FCC or the Justice Department? Maybe because even he knows that he’s full of **it.
