Trump’s Legal Slush Fund PAC Has Barely Enough Cash to Cover One Month of His Legal Bills

Posted by on June 22, 2024 at 1:13 pm. NO Comments :

The 2024 presidential race is off to a roaring start as candidates for both parties secured their nominations unusually early. As the incumbent, President Biden didn’t have any notable opposition. And the former reality TV show host, and convicted felon, Donald Trump, ignored his challengers and chickened out of every Republican primary debate.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

Consequently, even before the parties hold their nominating conventions, the candidates are running at full steam. Their fundraising operations are pulling in tens of millions of dollars. And campaign offices are opening across the country, particularly in the critical swing states. Well, at least the offices for Biden. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, “has been slow to staff up in key states” while “the Biden team has been using the funds to build out a massive ground-game across the country.” And Trump hasn’t been helping himself. In fact, he’s his own worst enemy…

The funds being raised by the candidates are also being spent differently. While Biden just announced the 1,000th staffer for his swing state campaign efforts, Trump is draining his campaign Super PAC to pay off his lawyers and other expenses related to his multiple civil and criminal trials.

“The political account that former President Donald Trump has been using to pay his sizable legal bills has dwindled to less than $4 million in the bank, after accounting for its debt, according to new federal election filings.

“So far in 2024, Trump is averaging nearly $5 million per month in spending through his political action committee, which is called Save America, with an overwhelming share going to legal bills. That means that as of the end of May, Trump had barely enough cash left to cover a single month of legal bills.”

[And] “Overall, Trump has spent more than $100 million on legal and investigation-related bills since leaving the White House in early 2021.”

The glassy-eyed cult followers who are contributing to Trump’s legal slush fund must be thrilled that their hard-earned money is going toward defending his fraudulent and/or salacious activities, rather than toward electing him and other MAGA Republicans.

As a result of Trump’s extraordinarily expensive, unlawful, and immoral behavior, his stash of cash is now likely to run out before the Republican National Convention at the end of July. To be sure, he can still raise more money between now and then. He has billionaires like Timothy Mellon on call, who just made a bribe…er…donation of $50 million to a Trump PAC. But just as surely, Trump won’t be using that money to advance his electoral prospects. After all, his legal bills are still mounting up.

Trump believes that his traveling salvation shows are all that he needs to win the election. Never mind that they do nothing to expand his voter base, which was way to small to win in 2020. And he is reluctant to spend any money on anything but his personal desires. While the utterly undemocratic Electoral College still puts the election in play, Trump’s selfishness, ego, and greed are only going to benefit Biden and down-ballot Democrats. Maybe we should send him a thank you note.

Trump’s Fear and Desperation Show as He Says Biden is Both ‘The Worst’ and ‘A Worthy’ Debater

Posted by on June 21, 2024 at 1:50 pm. 1 Comments :

As the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle approaches, the candidates are preparing for their epic battle in strikingly different ways. President Biden is studying policies and holding mock debates with experienced colleagues. While Donald Trump is cramming on his cult rally rants and scrambling for defenses of his felony convictions.

Donald Trump, Joe Biden

One of the problems that Trump is going to face is that he has been maligning Biden for years as a senile commie who “can’t put two sentences together.” As a result, he has set a very low bar for Biden, who now only has to show up and express him himself without drooling in order to claim victory. Knowledgeable debaters know not to lower expectations for an opponent. But Trump doesn’t just lower expectations, he demolishes them…

SEE THIS: Trump Calls Biden ‘the WORST Debater’ Despite Biden Crushing Him in the 2020 Debates and Election

So according to Trump, “Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced.” Which is a curious way to brag about the guy who beat you the last two times you debated him (debate one poll – – debate two poll), as well as in the general election that followed.

However, it appears that somebody on Trump’s team was able to cut through his ego and convince him that disparaging a debate opponent is a terrible strategy. So Trump has reversed course in his typically clumsy way. He now says that…

“I assume he’s going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater. I don’t want to underestimate him.”

That’s right! Trump doesn’t want to underestimate Biden, who he regularly slanders as so cognitively impaired that he doesn’t even know where he is. And if Biden happens to present himself as a vigorous, articulate leader, Trump and his MAGA media minions attribute it to pharmaceutical enhancements. Never mind that there are no drugs that can transform a dementia patient into an eloquent and effective communicator. If there were, everyone would be using them.

Trump’s flip-flop on Biden’s mental acuity is evidence that he is scared witless about the upcoming debate. He knows that he was crushed in the past. And he knows that Biden, despite a lifelong problem with stuttering, can deliver passionate oratories that most people find compelling and relatable. Consequently, Trump now needs to frantically restructure his whole approach to attacking Biden. He can no longer deride him as “Sleepy Joe.” Especially after Trump was repeatedly caught falling asleep at his own criminal trial.

SEE ALSO: Trump Finally Wakes Up Long Enough to Deny that He’s Been Sleeping During His Criminal Trial

In addition to this backhanded acknowledgement of Biden’s debating skills, Trump is testing out other feeble themes to put a more positive spin on losing the debate next week. In one post to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump demonstrated his infamous false bravado saying that that “I look forward to seeing him at the Fake Debate on Thursday.” So now it’s a “fake” debate? That’s likely the first step to it officially becoming a “rigged” debate. Followed shortly by it being tagged a “stolen” debate.

Rest assured that Trump and his propaganda purveyors at Fox News and elsewhere will declare the he won the debate, no matter what happens. But in the preceding days they will try to make excuses for a pitiful defeat. They will accuse Biden of being on drugs. Sean Hannity has already been throwing around the name “Jacked Up Joe,” which actually sounds kind of awesome. And that’s not the worst of it…

MORE HERE: Sean Hannity of Fox News is Already Making Excuses for Why Trump Will Lose Debates to Biden
“If he does debate, we will see jacked up Joe 2.0. Whatever Red bull that he drank, or caffeine pills that he took, or whatever he might have taken, I promise you they’ll give it to him again.”

EVEN WORSE: Fox News Floats Conspiracy Theory that Biden is Plotting to Assault Trump to Avoid Debating Him
“It will probably be a Nancy Kerrigan situation too, where right as Trump is walking out…I’m sure it will be something…sabotage.”

All of these allegations are, of course, the sort of projection that Trump and the MAGA cult routinely engage in. They accuse Biden of what they are doing, or what they wish they could do. And they all illustrate Trump’s fear of actually getting on a stage with the formidable “Dark Brandon.” Which, in the end, may result in Trump chickening out altogether. Which is also something that is being spoken about out loud in Trump Land.

From Hush Money to Flush Money: Trump’s Felony Convictions Trigger ~50% Truth Social Stock Flop

Posted by on June 20, 2024 at 1:40 pm. NO Comments :

It has been nearly a month since Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in order to cover up his affair with adult film star, Stormy Daniels. Trump and his team have been frantically reacting to his being the first former president ever to be convicted of felonies by alternately whining that the system is “rigged” against him, and/or bragging that it’s all going to be a huge benefit for him. Which means that he doesn’t really believe either of those scenarios.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

In the wake of his convictions, Trump has been shaken by the reality that he is facing potentially severe consequences when his sentencing is handed down next month. He’s behaving like a desperate reality TV show character who is scared witless and is grasping at any notion that will relieve his fears. He is even lashing out at supporters, including his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS RIGHT! In a Mad Rage, Felon of Foy Declares that ‘Nobody Can Ever Trust Fox News’

However, Trump’s problems are not confined to his legal dilemmas. In the few short weeks since he was convicted, his financial fortunes have taken a significant hit. The stock for his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, has lost nearly 50% of its value, declining from about $52.00 on the day his verdict was announced, to about $27.00 now. The most recent drop came after early investors unloaded their shares on the first day they were allowed to by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“The share price of Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) slid by more than 17 percent in after-hours trading on Tuesday, showing that investors were wary of additional shares being approved for resale by the Securities and Exchange Commission and possibly diluting their holdings — and more generally that there’s just not a very strong business case for the outfit’s once-soaring share price.”

That decline is just what has occurred since Trump was convicted. The stock is down even more (66%) from its $80.00 high three months ago. All of this means that the value of the enterprise to Trump is shrinking by the day. And he is subject to a share lock-up that prohibits him from selling any stock until late September. By then it could – and should – be essentially worthless.

Trump’s Truth Social has never been a a good business or investment. It has been unable to attract or maintain a significant user base. It has failed to produce sufficient revenue to remain in business. It has been horribly mismanaged by incompetents and criminals. What follows are some of the reasons that anyone succumbing to the scam was foolish and destined for disaster…

Are Trump’s Nazi Videos and Hateful Posts Why Truth Social Lost $327 Million and 19% of Users?
In the just first quarter of 2024 TMTG lost $327 million on revenue of less than $1 million. Which makes its stock valuation of $6 billion something of a joke. What’s more, Truth Social lost nearly 20% of their active users in the past year.

Trump’s Truth Social is Revealed to Be Another Terribly Risky Trump Scam – By Its Own Prospectus
A quick look at the company’s prospectus should frighten off any astute investors. It is exposed as “a high-risk, speculative operation with few hard numbers behind it. It’s already the subject of subpoenas, from regulators and a grand jury, even though it’s barely off the ground.”

Trump’s Truth Social Reports Massive Losses and Warns that it Could Go Out of Business
A Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing by the company reveals its financial frailty. The report paints a pitiful picture of the enterprise’s prospects going forward and reveals that it has lost $31.5 million since it opened for business just two years ago.

Trump Crime Syndicate: Investors Arrested for Insider Trading in Failing Truth Social Scam
Trump’s associates in his truthless, anti-social media venture were arrested and charged with insider trading. Reports indicate that “the three individuals together made more than $22 million in illegal profits.”

TRUMP IS RIGHT! In a Mad Rage, Felon of Foy Declares that ‘Nobody Can Ever Trust Fox News’

Posted by on June 19, 2024 at 2:17 pm. 2 Comments :

It must be exhausting to be Donald Trump, who somehow manages to maintain a near constant state of outrage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If he isn’t unloading his perpetual fury at President Biden or some other unwitting Democrat for respectably serving the public, Trump is blasting his fellow Republicans for failing to be sufficiently worshipful.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

The anger that emanates from Trump is like carpet bombing that indiscriminately destroys anything within its blast range. And he couldn’t care less if the victims are friend or foe. The only thing that matters to Trump is that some damage was done to whatever or whoever was on his list for retribution at the time. For instance, he recently lashed out at the city of Milwaukee, where the Republican convention will be held next month…

SEE THIS: Trump Horribly Bungles His ‘Horrible City’ Swipe at Milwaukee with Help from a Fox News Flunky

On Wednesday Trump fired wildly at a slew of his perceived enemies in an especially noxious tirade that he posted on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. The brief assault threw rhetorical shrapnel in every direction. He ranted that…

“Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan, get that dog off your Board – You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump’s opening attack is one that is difficult to argue with. Indeed, “Nobody can ever trust Fox News.” It is an ultra-rightist disseminator of pure propaganda in service to Trump and his MAGA cult. So why, then, would Trump be blasting it?

It’s hard to say for sure, but it’s likely that Trump was triggered by a recent interview on Fox News of former GOP Speaker Paul Ryan, who now serves on Fox’s board of directors. Among other things, Ryan had the audacity to tell the truth about Trump to host Neil Cavuto. Which is all that was necessary to incur Trump’s seething wrath. Ryan said that…

“He has cost us a lot of seats…He cost us the Senate twice. He cost us the House because he is pushing through the primaries people who cannot win general elections but pledge fealty to him…We need legislators, not entertainers.” [And that] “If you put yourself above the Constitution, as he has done, I think that makes you unfit for office.”

Still, it’s ridiculous for Trump to react so viciously considering how much blind adulation he gets from almost everyone else on the network. The entire primetime lineup (Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity), and much of the daytime programming (Fox & Friends, Outnumbered, and The Five), are unfailingly devoted to Trump. It is, after all, the network that settled a massive $787 million dollar lawsuit due to their flagrant lies and defamation on Trump’s behalf.

SEE ALSO: The Fox News 3/4 Billion Dollar Dominion Defamation Settlement is Also a Judgment Against Trump

Somehow, in light of all of that, Trump still abhors Fox and thinks that he can demand that Rupert Murdoch remove “that dog” Ryan, from the board because, in a toxically twisted paraphrase of a famous Beatles lyric, “ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP.” Yet despite his condemnation of Fox News as wholly untrustworthy, Trump himself appears to trust it a great deal. A recent analysis of his comments on Truth Social reveals that he relies more on Fox News for support than any media enterprise…

“Donald Trump can’t quit Fox News. The Republican presidential candidate may lash out in strong terms at the right-wing channel for supposedly not being sufficiently loyal to him, but a fresh analysis of the content posted on his Truth Social page shows that he promotes the outlet more than any other. […] In the month of May, Trump posted 56 videos from Fox News, dwarfing the volume of content he posted from any other outlet, according to the analysis conducted by The Righting, a website that monitors right-wing media.”

Trump is exhibiting a fair measure of contradictory anxieties with his simultaneous love and hatred for Fox News. We can add that psychological diagnosis to previous assessments that he is a malignant narcissist who is suffering from severe cognitive decline. All of which should be sufficient to persuade decent, patriotic Americans to vote for Joe Biden, who has demonstrated in his first term as President that he is intelligent, effective, and compassionate.

We can forget about the MAGA cultists. Unfortunately for them and their families, they are lost to us now. But fortunately, there are many more Democrats who didn’t vote, and independents who are persuadable, and even Republicans who haven’t abandoned reality, to still achieve a landslide victory for Biden-Harris. So long as we all work hard to achieve that goal and to preserve the principles enshrined in the Constitution and, ultimately, American democracy.

UPDATE: Trump has another reason to be upset with Fox News. Their new poll has Biden beating him by two points. And he isn’t taking that very well.

WANNABE DICTATOR Trump Demands that All Business Execs Be FIRED If They’re Not 100% Behind Trump

Posted by on June 18, 2024 at 1:46 pm. NO Comments :

The overtly fascistic facets of Donald Trump’s warped character, and that of his malicious MAGA movement, have been apparent from its inception. Like any aspiring authoritarian, Trump has insisted that his cult disciples obey his every command, believe his every lie, and ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears that reveal his aversion to democracy and the principles enshrined in the Constitution.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

The stubbornness of reality has never been a deterrent to Trump’s determination to mislead his glassy-eyed followers. He is a relentless disseminator of flagrant falsehoods aimed at exalting himself and maligning his foes. And he has no qualms about exploiting his lies in order to incite violent retribution for perceived wrongs.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens that His Cult Followers ‘Won’t Stand for It’ if He is Sentenced for His Crimes

On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that…

“Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!”

The blustery idiocy of that demand is exceeded only by its repudiation of economics in a free society. Where Trump gets the idea that servitude to him is a precondition for business management can only be explained by a severely acute case of malignant narcissism and delusions of grandeur. In a free country no one is required to pledge blind loyalty to any political hack that pops up.

Trump’s post was likely a response to a blisteringly critical report that the CEOs with whom he recently met were less than impressed with him. They reportedly came away saying that Trump “doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” was “remarkably meandering,” “could not keep a straight thought,” and “was all over the map.” Which are all traits that many people have seen in him for a long time.

So naturally, Trump’s massive yet fragile ego was hurt. But the depravity of his decree goes farther than that. He quoted from a Wall Street Journal article something that he apparently thought supported his preposterous premise…

“THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: “President Biden’s plan for a 28% rate would reverse half of Republicans’ 2017 rate cut. [But Trump’s] 15% rate would match the lowest level since 1935, boosting profits and rewarding shareholders.”

OH MY! So Biden’s proposal of a 28% tax rate would merely restore some of the irresponsible tax rate cut that Trump and the Republican Party granted as a gift to the wealthy and corporations. While Trump’s proposed cut to 15% would further benefit those corporations and their shareholders. That is not a plan that would help America’s low and middle class families. And the WSJ even noted that it would return to a tax rate that was in place in the midst of the Great Depression.

What’s more, Trump is not someone that any sane person would rely on for business advice. He has bankrupted at least six of his companies. He has been found liable for financial fraud for which the state of New York ordered him to pay a judgment of $454 million. His Trump Media and Technology Group has lost 40% of it value since he was convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying financial records to cover up his affair with a porn star. And his real estate business, his charitable foundation, and his university, were heavily fined and/or shuttered due to fraudulent mismanagement.

Furthermore, Trump’s agenda for the economy is fraught with the ignorance of someone with zero knowledge of economics. He recently proposed to eliminate income taxes and replace them with tariffs on all imported goods. Reputable financial experts have warned that this would be another boondoggle that enriches his wealthy pals and places a larger share of the tax burden on average Americans. According to the nonpartisan the Peterson Institute for International Economics, “Trump’s tariff proposals would cost the typical middle-income household at least $1,700.”

It’s clear that Trump’s demand to terminate any business executive that is not unflinchingly adoring has nothing to do with economic realities. It is just another example of his messianic compulsion to be revered as a god. This is not someone that should ever hold any power in a democratic society. And it makes the necessity for his unambiguous smackdown in November all the more imperative. For the sake of the nation, for democracy, and for freedom loving Americans.

Newsmax Host Berates Jurors for Not Exposing Themselves to Deadly Threats From the Trump Cult

Posted by on June 17, 2024 at 3:01 pm. 1 Comments :

Three weeks ago Donald Trump was unanimously found guilty by a fair and impartial jury of his peers on all of 34 felony charges brought against him. It was a clean sweep for the prosecution, a bitter disappointment for the defense, and well deserved comeuppance for Trump, who is now the first ever former president to have become a felon.

Donald Trump, Fox News, QAnon

Ever since then, Trump and his mouthpieces in the MAGA media have floated a stream of preposterous excuses for why their Dear Leader was convicted. And it will surprise no one to learn that none of those excuses included the fact that the documentary evidence, and the testimony provided by his closest associates, was solidly against him. It was so solid that he didn’t even testify on his own behalf. And he isn’t doing any better in the court of public opinion…

SEE THIS: LOCK HIM UP: After Guilty Verdicts, Poll Finds that More Americans Say Trump Should Go To Prison

On Monday morning, the rabid pro-Trump propaganda outfit, Newsmax, took a break from adorations of Trump to focus on denunciations of his perceived enemies. That group now includes the citizens who served on the jury that convicted him. Newsmax host Greg Kelly launched a repulsive rant implying something nefarious was afoot because the the jurors had not granted any interviews with the press since the verdict. Kelly complained that…

“It’s been THREE WEEKS since that Jury ‘convicted’ Trump. Why aren’t they doing the TODAY SHOW? Where is the 60 Minute ‘sit-down’?? And don’t give me this ‘they’re afraid of MAGA’ nonsense. The Jurors who convicted GOTTI and Whitey Bulger gave interviews. WEIRD!”

WEIRD? Why so? What’s weird about it? Is Kelly suggesting that there is some sort of cabal by the jurors to shun the media? And what does he think their motive would be for doing that? Are the Today Show and 60 Minutes in on it?

Let’s make this simple for Kelly and the glassy-eyed Trump disciples who watch his program. The jurors are indeed afraid of disclosing their identities to the small but dangerous community of MAGA crackpots. Although Kelly dismisses that notion out of hand with a ludicrous analogy, the jurors have a great deal of justification for that fear. Felon 45 and his StormTrumpers have demonstrated repeatedly that they are capable of, and anxious for, violent retribution to avenge their messiah.

Kelly’s claim that the Trump jurors would not be legitimately afraid to give interviews because the jurors who convicted mobster John Gotti had done so is a pretty poor excuse. First of all, a google search turned up no evidence that a Gotti juror ever spoke to the press. Perhaps it requires a more extensive search, but if it occurred, it shouldn’t be that difficult to find. So it’s a fair assumption that Kelly is lying.

What’s more, whether or not a Gotti juror spoke to the press is entirely irrelevant in this case. Gotti would have gained nothing by murdering a juror or jurors after the verdict was already handed down. And he was not a populist politician with a legion of psychotically worshipful fanatics who would be hungry for revenge against private citizens who had no power over him or them. So what would be the point?

In addition to that, Gotti was convicted in 1992, 32 years ago. He never had mindless minions who could be triggered by his troubles to step out on their own to seek revenge. There wasn’t an Internet facility for anti-social media that drove doxing and other forms of violence and harassment. Trump, on the other hand, has cultivated all of that. And the results have already produced tragedies, such as the January 6th insurrection on the Capitol that Trump incited.

In short, the Trump jurors actually have a lot more to fear now than the Gotti jurors did then. But Kelly couldn’t care less. He is actively advocating for their identities to made public. Why? The only plausible reason would be so that they could be targeted for harassment or worse. Ironically, Kelly is the one who is acting as a de facto mob enforcer, who wants to crush the enemies of the crime boss he serves. And he’s using his platform on Newsmax to achieve that horrific end.

Fox News Admits that the GOP is Demanding Tapes of Biden So They Can Mock Him for Stuttering

Posted by on June 16, 2024 at 1:01 pm. 3 Comments :

Among the tediously repeated lines that Trump delivers in his traveling cult rallies is a new one wherein he declares that the 2024 presidential election is “the most important election in the history of the United States.” And for once, he isn’t wrong. But he also isn’t right for the reasons that he thinks.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

On November 5, 2024, the American people will choose between President Joe Biden, a dedicated, patriotic, statesman, and family man, or Donald Trump, a twice impeached, serial adulterer, who has been adjudicated as a rapist and fraudster, and been convicted of 34 felonies. Inexplicably, there is still a small but noisy contingent of Trump cultists who remain irredeemably devoted to their Dear Leader despite all the evidence of his moral decrepitude. The good news is that most voters won’t have a particularly difficult time making their decision.

SEE THIS: LOCK HIM UP: After Guilty Verdicts, Poll Finds that More Americans Say Trump Should Go To Prison

In the meantime, the Trump-fluffers at Fox News are hard at work spreading lies, right-wing propaganda, and malicious insults that would embarrass an eight year old. Which is what they’ve always done, so that isn’t exactly news. A recent example of this comes from Kayleigh McEnany, a former Trump press secretary who is now doing essentially the same job, but with a bigger paycheck from Fox.

In a segment of Fox’s Sean Hannity show, McEnany addressed a wholly contrived controversy over Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has declined to turn over some audio tapes of Biden to the rabidly biased Republicans in the House of Representatives. Garland advised the GOP that such requests violate precedent when there is an objection on the basis of executive privilege. But in a fit of petulant rage, the GOP voted to hold Garland in contempt of Congress anyway.

To the surprise no one with a functioning cerebellum, Garland decided not to prosecute himself. Not out of personal interest, but because there is no crime to prosecute. This exacerbated the already unhinged anger of the GOP and Fox News. McEnany lashed out saying that…

“This is of great public interest. As congressmen have pointed out, the transcripts were edited to keep out the ‘ums,’ the ‘ahs,’ ‘the stutters. The American people deserve to hear this President in long form.”

So McEnany is admitting that the only purpose of releasing the audio tapes would be to embarrass the President who has had a lifelong problem with stuttering. It’s a sickening request that seeks only to mock an otherwise irrelevant speech impediment. What she is asking is akin to demanding the videotapes of the President’s colonoscopy because the American people “deserve” to see the President’s long intestine.

The tapes do not provide any substantive information that would be useful for any legislative purpose. Congress has the full transcripts of the tapes, and such transcripts always remove extraneous pauses and fillers. But McEnany and her confederates at Fox News don’t have any coherent criticisms to make of Biden, so they are desperate for petty things like this that they can exploit to attack him.

McEnany is not alone on this. The Republican Speaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson, is also weighing in on the matter. He has announced that Congress is going to sue the Justice Department in an attempt to get the tapes. Johnson is, once again, proving that he believes the role of Congress is to serve as Trump’s private law firm. Rather than pass any bills that actually benefit the nation or its citizens, Johnson focuses entirely on partisan political attacks on behalf of Trump. That’s why this session of Congress has been the least productive in decades.

SEE ALSO: DO-NOTHING CONGRESS? The Republican House of Representatives is the Most Productive Ever (LOL)

What’s more, the goal of disparaging Biden’s mental acuity by Fox News and the MAGA GOP, is one that fails miserably in contrast to Trump’s own cognitive problems. Trump provides frequent evidence of his Acute Psychobabble Disorder (APB). It ranges from rants about succumbing to electrocution or sharks, to ridiculously inflating the size of the crowds at his cult rallies, to claiming to have the solution to every world problem that he can only reveal if he’s elected.

However, the pièce de résistance is Trump’s alleged proof that he is mentally superior to most mortals because he supposedly “aced” a cognitive test given to him by a disgraced former doctor, now Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, wherein he was asked to identify an elephant and count backwards. However, in Trump’s latest attempt to brag about this “accomplishment,” the “stable genius” couldn’t even remember the doctor’s name…

So it is with the backdrop of Trump’s inability to retain information that he refers to frequently, along with his Bizarro World yammering that no one can decipher, that Fox News and the GOP want to get their hands on some tapes of Biden stammering during a five hour long interview, in order to prove that he’s unfit for office. That is how pitifully desperate they are to find anything to dirty up Biden with.

While this might work on the already indoctrinated Trump disciples, it is going to fall flat for everyone else. And the best forum within which to prove that is the upcoming Biden/Trump debate. That is, if Trump doesn’t chicken out.

Ever since Donald Trump lost the presidential election in 2020, he has been obsessed with disseminating his “Big Lie” that there was massive voter fraud on a national scale that was successfully orchestrated by the evil genius, President Biden, who Trump says “can’t put two sentences together.”

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Never mind that Trump and his confederates went to court more than sixty times trying to prove their crackpot conspiracy theories, and they lost every case. That’s mainly because they were never able to present a shred of evidence of any fraud. He was so humiliated by the decisive defeat that he suffered, that he just can’t accept the fact that American voters soundly rejected him. And neither can his cult followers in Congress, the MAGA media, and what remains of the Republican Party base. That rests in stark contrast to the majority of the American people…

Undeterred by reality, Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, persists in her family’s delusional disinformation campaign. Although her Sugardaddy-in-law installed her as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), she spends most of her time on Fox News, and other extremist propaganda outlets peddling flagrant falsehoods and gaslighting the gullible. To that end, Lara appeared with white nationalist provocateur, Charlie Kirk, to advance the lie that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen.” And in the process she delivered a sharp warning to aspiring ne’er-do-wells…

“I also want to send a loud and clear message out there to anyone who thinks about cheating in an election. If you cheat in an election, we will find you. We will track you down. We will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.”

Your hear that, you election cheaters? There is nowhere to run or hide from Lara the Law Giver. Let’s just set aside the fact that after four year she hasn’t tracked down a single case of election fraud by Biden or any other Democrat. And where she gets the idea that she has the authority to prosecute anyone is a mystery that will remain securely locked in her bleached blond head.

However, that doesn’t mean that there weren’t some cheaters that were discovered and brought to justice. And they were all Republicans. Which gives Lara’s warning new meaning. Was she threatening her own father-in-law, the MAGA ring leader, with prosecution? The list of those indicted also extends to some of Trump’s closest associates including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Rosen, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, and John Eastman. They had all better watch out because Lara is on the case now.

Ironically, Lara may have to prosecute herself. In the same event with Kirk, she proposed illegally buying votes. She told the audience that “take everyday up until Election Day taking somebody to vote. Drive them in your car if you have to. Buy them a sandwich if you have to after.”

You would think that the chair of the RNC would know that enticing people to vote with money or other gifts is against the law. It is, in fact, cheating. So while she isn’t personally buying the sandwiches (so far as we know), she is suborning a crime by encouraging others to do so.

All of this should make Lara’s promise to track down and prosecute election cheaters a lot easier. She doesn’t even have to leave Mar-a-Lago. She can find most of the cheaters there, including herself and and the already convicted felon, Don the Con. And if she tells what she knows to Attorney General Merrick Garland, we can get some of these prosecutions going.

Trump Horribly Bungles His ‘Horrible City’ Swipe at Milwaukee with Help from a Fox News Flunky

Posted by on June 14, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 1 Comments :

It is universally agreed that Donald Trump has always run an unconventional campaign for the White House. He never engages in any of the customary meet and greets with prospective voters, or base building efforts to attract new supporters.

Donald Trump, Fox News

Trump prefers instead to hold cult rallies where he keeps his distance from the unclean masses that worship their Dear Leader, or consorts with the upper-crusters from whom he wrangles millions of dollars in bribes…er…donations that are spent mostly on his legal fees and billion dollar judgments. And heaven forbid he ever pass any of those funds on to his GOP confederates, from whom he demands unflinching loyalty that is never reciprocated.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Lara Trump Tells ‘Anyone Who is Not On Board with Donald Trump’ to Leave the GOP

Consistent with his unconventional style, Trump has added a new tool to his campaign bag of tricks. In a private meeting with congressional Republicans, Trump expressed his visceral distaste for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the city that will be hosting the Republican National Convention where next month, barring any unforeseen liberation from the grip of Felonious Punk, he will officially be nominated as the GOP’s candidate for president. Trump didn’t mince words, calling Milwaukee a “horrible city.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has observed Trump over the past few years. He frequently maligns America as a “failed nation” that is overrun by communists, criminals, and “corrupt radicals and thugs” who are determined to destroy the country and, more importantly from his perverse perspective, him. So why should Milwaukee get a reprieve?

As usual, Trump’s true feelings were recognized as repulsive and damaging by his pals in the press and political realm. They immediately set about to deny that any such insult was uttered. But true to form, Trump was too dense to realize himself that he might have been capable of making a mistake. So when Aishah Hasnie, a Fox News “reporter,” attempted to provide him an escape path, Trump flubbed it and ended up admitting that he made the grotesque comments.

Hasnie: Democrats are also hitting you on this comment that you made about Milwaukee, the host city for the RNC. And they seem to believe that you said that it was a horrible city. Can you just nip this in the bud and clarify what you meant?
Trump: It was very clear what I meant. I said, we’re very concerned with crime.

Note the Fox News Trump-fluffer’s characterization of the problem. She portrayed it as merely something that Democrats “believe that [Trump] said.” Never mind that it was exclusively Republicans who attended the meeting where Trump made the remarks. So it had to have been a Republican who leaked it to the press. Note also that the Foxie did not simply seek a comment from Trump, but she framed it as an opportunity for him to “nip this in the bud.” The Fox shill was virtually holding Trump’s hand to lead him to absolution. But Trump shook it loose and gave his own answer that served as a confession.

“I love Milwaukee, I have great friends in Milwaukee, but it’s as you know, the crime numbers are terrible. We have to be very careful. But I was referring to also the election, the ballots, the way it went down, it was very bad in Milwaukee. Very, very bad. And the people understand that and they agree with me. Everybody agrees. No, that was a fake story that came out.”

Did you catch the rosy chyron in that video clip editorializing that “TRUMP LOVES MILWAUKEE.” Yeah, right! More to the point, Trump does not deny that he made the disparaging remarks about Milwaukee. He just tries to pretend that he was talking about something else. But even in that attempt, he struggles with his own feeble excuse. He rambles first about the comment having something to do with crime. But then he quickly swerves to claim instead that it was related to imaginary allegations of election fraud. And as always, in Trump’s decaying cranium, “everybody agrees” with him about everything all the time.

For the record, crime in Milwaukee has been on a steep decline during President Biden’s term in office, and while both the city and the state are run by Democrats. And those facts were actually reported by the Fox News affiliate in Milwaukee.

“With the first quarter review, Milwaukee police say homicides have decreased 39% – down to 23 from 38 this time in 2023. Property crime is down 11%. Auto thefts are down 10% – down to 1,295 from 1,431 this time in 2023.”

Undeterred by reality, Fox News continues to gaslight their glassy-eyed audience. For instance, Sean Hannity asked GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, (a completely impartial source) about the Milwaukee maligning…

Hannity: Can we just settle one thing once and for all here? President Trump, it’s been attributed to him that he took a shot at Milwaukee. did he do that?
Johnson: No. I didn’t hear it and I was sitting right next to him.

Well then. That settles it. Johnson is either acutely hard of hearing, or is outright lying. Because he is disagreeing with Trump as to whether or not he said it. Perhaps Johnson is accusing Trump of lying. Hannity never bothered to mention what Trump said to his Fox News colleague above. Considering how long Fox News has been in the deception business, it’s astonishing how bad they are it.

UPDATE: Trump is now lying (again) that he never said Milwaukee is a “horrible city,” even though he previously admitted that he said it. Now he’s saying that “They lie and they make up a story that I said something bad about Milwaukee. […] I just ask you this, who would do that? Who would say something bad about a place that you want to win?” Trump, of course, frequently says terrible things about many cities, and repeatedly disparages the whole country as a “failing” “banana republic.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is OUTRAGED at Being Called ‘Fringe’: ‘It’s Not Me, It’s Rachel Maddow!’

Posted by on June 13, 2024 at 12:58 pm. NO Comments :

Last week the unofficial chair of the House MAGA Fringe Caucus, Marjorie Taylor Greene, proposed a bill to defund the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an alliance that has protected much of the world from aggression by Russia for 75 years. Greene’s opposition is rooted in her animosity toward Ukraine, President Biden, and democracy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Vladimir Putin

Greene is notorious for her bizarre antics in and out of Congress. She is an unflinching disciple of the Cult of Trump. She attacks her Fellow Republicans with unbridled hatred. She is leading the fight to remove MAGA Mike Johnson as Speaker. She has drafted numerous motions to impeach members of the Biden administration simply because they are Democrats. Recently she sought to deny all federal funding for the state of New York because a jury in Manhattan found Trump guilty of 34 felonies.

Any rational observer of of politics would describe Greene as a fringe operative. Although, these days her views have been embraced by most of the Trump GOP. Following the failure of her NATO defunding bill, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow noted that many Republicans voted to withhold critical funds from America’s allies in Europe.

“A fifth of the Republicans in Congress just voted that we should leave our allies all together. That we should break up the big Western alliance. That we should defund NATO. And I think nobody really paid attention to this vote because this legislation was put forward by a very fringe member of Congress. A member of Congress who is known for her publicity stunts, and therefore she is easy to ignore. But it wasn’t just her. forty-six Republicans voted for this thing.

This criticism of of the Republican betrayal of our allies struck Greene for decidedly personal reasons. She didn’t care so much about Maddow calling out the GOP for “leaving our allies.” Nope. What bothered Greene was the part where Maddow referred to her as “a very fringe member of Congress.” So Greene scampered off to Steve Bannon’s podcast to complain about Maddow…

“”Well, of course, she’s not happy. Rachel’s never accomplished anything real in her entire life. She’s only lied on television for a living. And NATO, all these European countries, they don’t pay their fair share. So why should America continue to pay for the defense of all these other countries when they are unwilling to even pay their fair share?”

REALLY? Most people would consider having graduated from Stanford, becoming a Rhodes Scholar, and getting a doctorate in Political Science from Oxford, something of an accomplishment. Plus, she’s won three Emmys, a Grammy, and written best-selling books. Greene’s resume, on the other hand, consists of little more than managing a small construction company in rural Georgia, and failing to produce anything of substance as a member of Congress. But Greene wasn’t through defending herself from the allegations of fringiness…

“It’s not fringe at all. It’s also not fringe because most Americans also agree that the United States should not be funding a war in Ukraine.”

Greene is, as usual, lying. Polls show that a majority of American actually support funding for Ukraine. But Greene, like her Republican confederates, never lets facts get in the way of a good rant. She continued saying that…

“When we’re going to talk about the question, we’re going to ask the question, who is fringe? It’s actually Rachel Maddow is the fringe person in this story. It’s not me. It’s Rachel Maddow.”

Here Greene is adopting the age-old debate strategy of “I know you are, but what am I?” However, her “rubber/glue” tactic falls short due to the fact that even 157 of her fellow Republicans voted against her bill, along with every Democrat. Although she did get 46 Republicans to join her.

That’s a pretty good affirmation that Greene and her band merry cranksters are indeed the fringe. And no matter how hard she tries to deny that reality, it remains true. Nevertheless, we can expect her to continue attacking her betters, such as Maddow, because glassy-eyed narcissists like Greene are incapable of recognizing their own failures. No matter how glaring.
