Trump is OUTRAGED that ‘WOKE’ Museums Reveal ‘How Bad Slavery Was’

Posted by on August 19, 2025 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

Whatever day it is, it is another day that Donald Trump is seething with fury over some contrived offense that exists only in his warped imagination. It hardly matters what the subject is. Trump eagerly exploits it to fuel his latest tantrum, to smear a political foe, or to deflect from some other atrocity that he is desperate to evade, such as his unsavory relationships with pedophile partners Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Donald Trump Angry

Today the scandal du jour is Trump’s horror that there are museums in America that accurately reflect the history of the nation with all of its pride and pimples. In Trump’s cartoon brain there is only goodness and light in the nation’s past. Unless it was during the tenure of a “radical, lunatic, Democrat.” In that case it was abhorrent beyond belief and merits immediate investigation and incarceration. Would he put that in his “museum”?

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump expressed his dismay over the state of museums that have the audacity to preserve the nation’s historical legacy. In a rabidly unhinged outburst, Trump raged that…

“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

That’s right! Who hasn’t been aghast at how “OUT OF CONTRO” the certifiably psycho Smithsonian is? And now that they have been caught disseminating propaganda that smears slavery as “bad” it can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Especially when all of the “Brightness” and “Success” that this country has produced is completely discarded and never celebrated by the Smithsonian or any other museum. Well, except for all of the many exhibits that celebrate America in every museum all over the country. But Trump was just getting warmed up. He continued…

“We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

Is this what MAGA voted for? Trump is dispatching his crackpot attorneys to swarm out around the country to do to museums what he has done to colleges and universities. By which he means smothering them in bogus lawsuits, withholding federal funds, and threatening further fascist suppression, if they fail to comply with his illegal and unconstitutional demands.

Trump wants to make sure that every college, museum, and media outlet, dispenses his grotesquely authoritarian perspective of the world. And no other views will be permitted. In fact, those with opposing views can expect to be arrested and sent to Trump’s gulags in some alligator swamp or third world country. And since slavery is no longer considered to be bad in the Era of Trump, critics may find themselves in chains, picking cotton or assembling iPhones.

And yes, this is what MAGA voted for. But not the rest of us. And we will not sit by while Trump and his cult destroy American democracy and freedom. Trump is already suffering some the worst public approval ratings in modern times. And his mental health is on shaky ground, to put it mildly. Along with his insane attacks on schools and museums and the free press, he is also suited up for a fierce battle…

The day after his meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders, and while Americans are struggling with inflated prices and tariffs, Trump is focused on what Americans need most: fighting windmills.#TrumpsBrainIsMush!

Herr Trump Decrees that He Will Abolish Mail-In Voting and that States Must Obey His MAGA-STY

Posted by on August 18, 2025 at 11:54 am. 0 Comments :

The goal of the totalitarian dystopia that Donald Trump has been craving just got closer to realization with his posting of a tediously long and lie-riddled rant on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Adding to his deployment of ICE stormtroopers in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and his directives to have his Justice Department persecute his political foes, Trump is decreeing a new and obvious breach of the Constitution aimed at advancing his autocratic aspirations.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Vote By Mail

Trump’s latest tyrannical outburst decrees that he will unilaterally abolish what he calls the “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX.” [Has anyone been counting his alleged hoaxes?] His proposal would end mail-in voting throughout the country. It’s part of a plan that Trump is executing to rig elections in order to suppress the rights of voters and support the election of his MAGA Republicans. And it comes on the heels of his campaign to redraw congressional districts to favor the GOP and deny Democrats a fair vote.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

In Trump’s post he virtually admits his anti-democratic intentions, saying that it is his purpose to harm Democratic voters “with their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies.” But there is so much more in his extended harangue that ought to concern all Americans. For instance…

“I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES.”
The elimination of mail-in voting – and electronic voting machines – would make it impossible to conduct the vote counting in a timely manner. It would also be more prone to errors.

“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED.”
This is a flat out lie. At least 30 other countries permit mail-in voting. That includes Russia. Which is a ludicrous example of fair voting practices, but who Trump used to support his lie.

“WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER.”
Trump is projecting again. It is he and the GOP who are most commonly found to have cheated in elections. More to the point., he has no power to order how elections are held, especially not by executive order.

“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them.”
HOLY CRAP! Trump is saying out loud that he believes that he, as president, can issue mandates to the nation that must be obeyed, and that override the state sovereignty provided in the Constitution.

“Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS.”
What Trump means here is that he is scared to death of fair elections, and that they must not be permitted in the future. He has previously said that if mail-in voting is allowed “There will never be a Republican elected to high office again.” Which sounds more like a reward than a threat. However, he has also taken the opposite position, urging his supporters to “vote absentee, by mail, early in person, or on Election Day.”

For the record, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, of the Constitution states that “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

In short, the president does not have the authority to alter the way states decide to hold their elections. At best he would need to get Congress to pass legislation to make any changes to state law.

Not that Trump gives a damn about the Constitution. Although, it could be interesting to see if Republicans in Congress would willingly give up their Constitutional authorities. They have done it before for Dear Leader Trump. But hopefully there are lines that even they won’t cross in their betrayal of American principles.

Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

Posted by on August 17, 2025 at 2:13 pm. 0 Comments :

The dissembling of the U.S. Department of Justice under Donald Trump is proceeding apace as his disgraced and unqualified appointees conspire to abuse their power in order to take out Trump’s perceived enemies and shield him from any and all negative consequences of his own blatant criminality.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

To be sure, much of their primary focus of late is concentrated on deflecting from their refusal to release the files that they control related to child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. They already tasked 1,000 FBI agents to search for and redact Trump’s name from those files. But apparently, that still isn’t enough to satisfy Trump that his unsavory relationship with the pair of perverts is sufficiently hidden.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

In a chilling escalation of the DoJ’s descent into Trump’s personal prosecutorial staff, Trump’s director of the DoJ’s aptly/ironically named “Weaponization Working Group,” Ed Martin, was dispatched to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to disseminate more of their flagrantly dishonest assaults on anyone who Trump has deemed disloyal. Martin – who was too much of a MAGA extremist to be confirmed as U.S. Attorney – was interviewed by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, and he delivered the following forthright threats aimed at the opponents of Dear Leader…

“We’re gonna go to the bottom of the facts, and if somebody did something wrong, we’re not only gonna hold them accountable, we’re also gonna look at everything else that they’ve been doing.

“Because when you’re a liar, you lie not just on one thing. When you’re a cheater, you cheat not just on one thing. When you’re doing corruption, you generally don’t just do it on one thing. So that’s what we’re asked to do as prosecutors. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Ed Martin: "Letitia James & Adam Schiff — both their lawyers have come out and talked publicly about the criminal referrals…we're gonna follow the facts…and if somebody did something wrong, we're not only gonna hold them accountable, we're also gonna look at everything else they've been doing"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:20:26.462Z

Martin is promising to expand the already meritless allegations against people like Letitia James and Adam Schiff, into investigations of “everything else” that he can twist into bogus accusations. In other words, witch hunts. Although his justification citing the tendencies of liars, and cheaters, and those who are corrupt, really fits Trump much better than any of those who Martin is targeting. But he was just getting started. The discussion continued with the following exchange…

Bartiromo: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?
Martin: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox, because there’s a lot to be asked about.
Bartiromo: And the pardons that were given out were done by an autopen. Are they legitimate?
Martin: I’m a pardon attorney, so I’m in that too. I can tell you we’re investigating how the pardons were granted. It was not like anything in the history of America. What Joe Biden – not Joe Biden – what his staffers did not just with the autopen, but with faking him out on the memos. More to come, Maria. I’m telling you, Pam Bondi has let us loose, and when this comes out it will take the whole of these people’s hoaxes down. And we’re doing it bit by bit, and it’s fantastic.”

BARTIROMO: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?ED MARTIN: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:25:46.591Z

First of all, there was no evidence destroyed by the January 6th Committee, and thus no criminality. And Martin’s reference to those who did not receive pardons as being vulnerable to prosecution is the sort of intimidation tactic employed by dictators like Vladimir Putin, who Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate.

Bartiromo then brings up the preposterous question of the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons. Of course, Martin embraces that nonsense and builds on it with his own allegations about some mysterious memos. Then he is downright giddy with glee over being “let loose” by Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and how “fantastic” it will be to take down these alleged hoaxes.

President Biden’s wisdom in issuing pardons for the January 6th Committee members is proven to be warranted by the partisan and abusive actions that Martin is taking now. And it is notable that neither Martin nor Bartiromo bother to mention the pardons issued by Trump for more than 1,500 violent insurrections, including those who assaulted police officers, that were also signed by an autopen.

The hypocrisy exhibited by these agents of authoritarianism is waist deep, at least. And their zeal to act on it by persecuting patriots who sought to preserve American democracy is despicable. Unfortunately, it is also expected of the goon squads that work for Trump. and the sooner we 8647, the better. [FYI: for all you soggy-brained numbskulls, 86 means to throw out]

‘Hot as a Pistol’? Trump Quotes Putin Using the Exact Same Words that Trump Uses About Himself

Posted by on August 16, 2025 at 12:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The highly anticipated summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin took place on Friday where the two leaders were set to discuss the state of the war that Russia started against Ukraine. The expectations for progress toward peace were essentially met because no one really thought that Putin wanted peace, or that Trump had the diplomatic chops to get anything worthwhile done.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

On the other hand, everyone knew that Trump is an ego-driven bucket of narcissistic slop who can be manipulated with the slightest offerings of undeserved flattery. And most notably, Putin knew this and took full advantage of it. Putin actually has Trump believing that they have a unique camaraderie that permits him to communicate with the Russian dictator as if via a secret language.

SEE THIS: The Putin Whisperer: Trump Brags that ‘Putin Speaks to Me, He Doesn’t Speak to Anybody Else’

The rapport that Trump has with Putin was revealed during a post-summit interview that Trump gave to Sean Hannity of Fox News (who else?). Trump spoke to Hannity immediately following the summit, before speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or any of our NATO allies. And while there was much disgorging of solipsistic propaganda, one part stood out as emblematic of Trump’s narrow focus on his singularly deranged perception of reality. He said that…

“Vladimir said just a little while ago, he said ‘I’ve never seen anybody do so much so fast.’ He said, ‘your country is, like, hot as a pistol,’ and a year ago he thought it was dead. Everybody thought it was dead.”

There are only two possible responses to that comment. Either it was an invention of Trump’s overactive and conceit-riddled imagination, or Putin was fluffing him to get a favorable reaction.

However, there is something else peculiar about Trump’s comment that needs to be recognized. Trump’s words, that he is attributing to Putin, are identical to the words that he has previously used himself to describe what he thinks is the great success he’s had in his second occupation of the White House. In June Trump spoke to the Wall Street Journal who reported that…

“President Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that he had completely changed the image of the United States since returning to office, speaking just hours after the Pentagon conducted military strikes against Iran.

“‘Our country is hot as a pistol,’ Trump said in a brief interview. ‘Six months ago, our country was cold as ice. It was dead.'”

Trump claims that Putin told him that "your country is, like, hot as a pistol," and "a year ago he thought it was dead."That's funny. Those are the very same words Trump used about America 2 months ago. Who knew that Putin speaks exactly the same as Trump? Or is it vice versa?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-16T17:18:44.617Z

What are the odds that Putin chose the very same words to compliment Trump at yesterday’s summit? What’s more, these are words that Trump has used repeatedly for a variety of subjects. He used them to describe his failing Twitter ripoff, saying that “Truth Social is hot as a pistol.” And of course, he used them to describe himself saying that “I was sort of like a hot guy. I was hot as a pistol.”

A couple of other interesting moments from the Hannity interview include Trump attacking Gavin Newsom as a pretext to lying about Putin and mail-in voting (which 30 other countries permit, including Russia)…

And then there was Trump’s attempt to play an elementary school trick on Putin, that didn’t work. (Okay, maybe not, but what the heck? It’s not implausible considering his actual maturity level)…

Trump tries to get Putin to look down so he can flick his nose. But Putin doesn't fall for it. ???That pretty much sums up how badly Trump flubbed the summit.

Trump’s Pentagon Flack Brags About Female Military Recruitment with Obviously Fake AI Images

Posted by on August 15, 2025 at 12:59 pm. 0 Comments :

The flamingly dishonest propaganda that is emblematic of the Donald Trump regime has taken another turn for the worse. Just when you think they have hit rock bottom, they manage to find a trap door down there that leads to shaft dropping another mile or so.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Military Parade

The latest sinkhole being explored by the Trumpies is their celebration of what they claim to be a profound success in military recruitment of women. This is the same military that is headed up by Defense Secretary (and former Fox News host), Pete Hegseth, who has decreed that all diversity initiatives that promoted women in the services be terminated. But he spares no expense on making himself pretty for the TV cameras.

SEE THIS: Pete Hegseth Spends Thousands for a Pentagon Makeup Studio to Fortify America’s Military Might

This week the ultra-MAGA Trump-fluffing network, One America News (OAN), did an interview with Defense Department spokeswoman Kingsley Wilson. Host Matt Gaetz (former congressman and failed Attorney General nominee) conducted the interview in which they were both gushing over the alleged increase in female recruits. During the segment there was video playing of a variety of proud women soldiers in uniform. There was just one problem.

A quick glance at the images showed that they were all AI fakes. The images were generated using Elon Musk’s version of AI called Grok. And they even still had the logo in the bottom corners. Neither Gaetz nor Wilson disclosed the source of the videos or their bogus beginnings. They were too proud to let reality get in the way…

Gaetz: Tell us what the numbers are saying about the recruitment of women in our military.
Wilson: The numbers are absolutely fantastic across the board…Under the previous administration we had about 16,000 female recruits last year. Now we’ve got upwards of 24,000. This is a nearly 7,000 person increase in female recruits alone. And again, it’s not just women. It’s men too. The Army, the Air Force, the Navy, everyone is hitting their metrics early And it is a testament to Secretary Hegseth and president Trump’s leadership.

It turns out that young Americans want to sign up to be warfighters. They don’t want this ideology that the previous administration tried to hoist on them. They want to get back to basics. And that’s what we’re doing at DoD. And the numbers are just proof in the pudding.

If the spokesperson for the Pentagon will sit by while fake images are presented to support her reported numbers of female recruits, how are we supposed to trust the numbers themselves? They offered nothing to document the claim. And even if the numbers are accurate, they presented zero evidence that recruitment increased because of Trump, or Hegseth, or any increasing desire to become warfighters by American men or women.

Quite often recruitment goes up if economic opportunities in civilian life decline. And Trump’s economy and job creation has been on a steady down slope. They also failed to mention that the rise in recruitment is a trend that began during President Biden’s administration. What’s more, after Trump and Hegseth took over, they lowered the standards for education and physical health.

The profile on the Department of Defense Rapid Response X/Twitter account says “Welcome To The Official Rapid Response Account For The DOD! Supporting The Mission Of @SecDef And Fighting Against Fake News!” Hopefully their ability to fight actual wars is not reflected in their ability to fight fake news. If it is, we are in big trouble. They can’t even put on a decent parade.

Trump Deploys ICE Thugs to Gavin Newsom’s Press Conference in an ‘In Your Face’ Show of Force

Posted by on August 14, 2025 at 2:47 pm. 1 Comments :

The totalitarian tendencies of Donald Trump continue to reveal themselves in ever greater clarity as his fear and desperation grow. He knows that none of his attempts to deflect from his unsavory relationships with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have worked, and his approval polling keeps going down, so he’s upping the ante.

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

On Thursday Gov. Gavin Newsom held a press conference to announce his plan to fight back against the election rigging by the Republican Party via unprecedented and unlawful mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Trump. So to counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off.

SEE ALSO: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

However, while Newsom was presenting his plan to the press, Trump’s thugs gathered outside of the venue where the press conference was being held and began arresting people. This neo-fascist tactic was reported by Aishah Hasnie on Fox News during an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem…

Fox News: This is coming from our reporters in L.A. right now, where they say that Border Patrol has arrived outside of the downtown L.A. venue where Gov. Gavin Newsom is actually holding a press conference today. And it appears that those Border Patrol agents are making arrests of illegal immigrants.

I don’t know if they were at this press conference or they were in the area. But this is a very ‘in your face way’ to let Democrats know that you are gonna do your job. That you’re gonna carry out these Trump policies. Can you just respond to this video that we’re watching right now?

Noem: Every single one of our ICE Border Patrol operations is built on information, on investigative work. It’s a case and an operation that has been planned because of who they think could be in that area and what they have for information that shows that there are illegal criminals there. Remember, we’re focusing on the worst of the worst.

"In your face" — Fox News plays video of Border Patrol agents arresting people right just now outside Gavin Newsom's press conference

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-14T18:54:21.885Z

Hasnie accurately described the ICE actions as an “in your face way” of intimidating Democrats in general, and Newsom in particular. It is not a coincidence that ICE was operating right outside of the Newsom press conference. And neither Fox News nor Noem even tried to deny it. Noem virtually admitted that the operation was “planned because of who they think could be in that area.” And the only information that they had as to who would be there was Gavin Newsom.

Newsom was aware of what was taking place outside and he mentioned it during his address saying that “Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it’s coincidental?” Newsom, however, was not intimidated by ICE or Trump. And he let them know in no uncertain terms, exposing Trump’s failures and weakness…

“He’s a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we’re having a conversation like this? Someone who’s weak. Someone who’s broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.”

Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-14T19:33:44.817Z

Trump’s brazen escalation of hostile and anti-democratic assaults on his political foes should concern every American. He is becoming less and less hesitant about his authoritarian aspirations. And Newsom is taking the right approach in not allowing Trump to get away with any of it. The rest of the Democratic Party – and all American patriots – need to join this fight to halt Trump’s tyrannical takeover of the nation.

Egomaniacal Trump Hires Himself to Host (and Disgrace) the Kennedy Center Honors

Posted by on August 13, 2025 at 11:22 am. 1 Comments :

The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is an institution that was built to honor extraordinarily talented members of the entertainment industry. For half a century it has lived up to its reputation for excellence and pride in the creative pursuits that have defined American culture.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

For all of that time the Kennedy Center has avoided politics and the taint of partisanship. Until now. In February, just two weeks after his inauguration, Donald Trump announced that he was terminating much of the Center’s board and appointing “an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” Because as president he didn’t have anything else to do.

SEE THIS: Trump is Busy Doing the People’s Work: Pushing for Plastic Straws and Firing Journalists?

Now Trump is expanding his role at the Center by hiring himself to host the annual Kennedy Center Honors. It is a another job that any competent and rational president would never consider taking. But Trump’s massive yet fragile ego drives him to steal the spotlight at every opportunity. And since the ceremony is telecast on television, Trump could not contain himself.

In his announcement Trump pretended to have been recruited for the hosting duties against his will. Does anyone believe that? What he told the press was a jumble of ego stroking incoherence and fictional accounts of his having been persuaded to host. He said that…

“I’m delighted to be here as we officially announce the incredibly talented artists who will be celebrated later this year at the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors. It’s gonna be a big evening.

“I’ve been asked to host. I said ‘I’m the president of the United States. Are you fools asking me to do that?’ ‘Sir, you will get much higher ratings.’ I said ‘I don’t care. I’m president of the United States. I won’t do it.’ They said ‘Please?’ And then Susie Wiles said to me ‘Sir, why can’t you host?’ And I said ‘Okay Susie. I’ll do it.’

“That’s the power she’s got. Do you believe what I have to do? And I didn’t want to do it. They’re gonna say ‘He insisted.’ I did not insist. But I think it will be quite successful actually.”

Trump announces he's hosting the Kennedy Center Honors

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-13T15:39:27.933Z

Yeah. that all happened just like he said. The guy who disbanded the Center’s board and made himself chairman had to be convinced to be the host. And that’s not all. He had an even bigger role in the selection process. The honorees this year are George Strait, Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor, Kiss and Sylvester Stallone. And while there can be plausible arguments for these individuals, they were not selected for merit. When Trump was asked what percentage of the selection process he was involved in. He replied…

“I would say that I was about 98% involved. They all went through me. They came over Rick [Grennel] and Sergio [Gor] and everybody. I turned dowm plenty. They were too ‘woke.’ I had a couple of ‘wokesters.’

Trump says that all of the choices for Kennedy honorees "came through me" and adds that he turned down "some wokesters"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-13T16:16:51.144Z

For the record, in past years the selections were made by previous honorees and others in the entertainment field. But this year the decisions were up to the guy who hosted a reality TV game show and had a one-line cameo in “Home Alone 2.” So he chose a country singer, the star of his favorite Broadway musical, and a rock band whose lead singer is a longtime supporter. And by his own admission, Trump rejected people with whom he has political differences.

Remember, Trump has a hostile opinion of some of the most popular entertainers in the world, He famously declared that “I hate Taylor Swift.” He insulted Bruce Springsteen as “a dried up old prune.” He threatened to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship. He called Charlamagne Tha God “a racist sleazebag.” And he has relentlessly attacked Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon as having “no talent.” Meanwhile his own popularity is at record lows.

It’s a sad for the Kennedy Center. But an even sadder day for America as the Malignant-Narcissist-in-Chief once again places himself at the head of the line for recognition, even diverting attention from the honorees. And that obsession with diversion is also applicable to Trump’s efforts to deflect from his unsavory relationships with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Unfortunately, we have not yet found an effective diversion from Trump.

Trump Has (Another) Senior Moment Forgetting How Much He Hates ‘Sleepy Eyes’ Chuck Todd

Posted by on August 12, 2025 at 1:45 pm. 3 Comments :

The sundowning mental acuity of Donald Trump becomes more evident with each passing day. His verbal gaffes, factual distortions, angry outbursts, and general incoherence and departures from reality would justify commitment to an institution for anyone other than the power mongering leader of a political cult.

Donald Trump WTF

Trump has manifested the Woody Allen joke wherein he laments a relative who is so crazy that he thinks he’s a chicken. But the family won’t get him help because…they need the eggs. That perfectly describes Trump’s family and his disciples in Congress and the media who regularly cover for Trump and sanewash his sickness. They know he’s nuts, but they rely on it to retain their power and wealth. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation has to suffer the humiliation of having Trump occupying their White House.

SEE THIS: OK, So Trump is a Felon, Liar, Racist, Adulterer, and Grifter. He’s Also Just So Damn Embarrassing

This week we have already seen Trump say that he was going to meet Vladimir Putin in Russia, when the meeting will be in Alaska. He has claimed to have reduced drug prices by a mathematically impossible 1,500%. And on Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he offered damning praise for former NBC correspondent, Chuck Todd…

“‘I don’t think we’ve had anybody with this much impact on the Country since FDR.’ Chuck Todd, formerly of NBC FAKE NEWS, in an interview with journalist David Brody. Wow, thank you Chuck. I always said that you were far better than the scum that runs the FAKE NEWS at NBC and, especially, Brian Roberts and ‘Concast.’ You are a Free Man now. Congratulations – Use your time well!”

To be sure, virtually everything that Trump does and says these days is intended to deflect from his unsavory relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. As for “journalist” David Brody, he is actually a Trump-fluffing squawking head on the Christian Broadcasting Network. But more to the point, Trump seems to have completely forgotten how he really feels about Chuck Todd. Over the course of many years Trump has attacked him as a disseminator of “fake” news with a typically infantile Trump nickname. For instance…

  • March 27, 2024: “Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd, who was fired for dismal performance coupled with horrendous television ratings.”
  • May 7, 2023: “So funny to watch Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd on Meet the Fake Press.”
  • April 9, 2023: “highly partisan Democrat anchor “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd.”
  • July 7, 2022: “Is Chuck Todd Ready To MEET HIS DEMISE?”

Now, suddenly, Trump adores Todd and congratulations him on his freedom to exalt Trump. Except that isn’t what Todd wasn’t actually doing. Obviously somebody fed Trump an edited version of Todd’s remarks. The comments in context were merely pointing out that Trump had an impact, but that it wasn’t necessarily a positive one. Todd continued…

“Culturally, in particular. Certainly, in how even our politics is conducted. In that sense, I think the question is does he have impact on policy for decades to come? […] These are things that, you and I know, are things that the previous Republican Party would have…’How dare government tell business what to do?’ And yet there’s no outcry.”

For the record, here a few others who have had an “impact” America: Adolf Hitler, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Osama Bin Laden. That is the company that Trump is in. It is often difficult to come to the defense of Todd, who frequently sanitizes Trump, and other Republican extremists, with his trademark bothsiderisms. And even in these remarks he watered down the most salient points. But he was not praising Trump, as Trump believes.

In other comments posted to Truth Social, Trump was equally off kilter. In one he brazenly lied that…

“Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs, which has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else. It has been proven, that even at this late stage, Tariffs have not caused Inflation […] Consumers aren’t even paying these Tariffs.”

Reality begs to differ. As reported in the New York Times…

“U.S. Inflation Report Shows Effects of Trump’s Tariffs: A gauge of underlying inflation in July showed prices increasing at the fastest annual pace in five months, a sign that businesses are passing along tariff-related costs to customers.”

In another example, Trump continued his whining about Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, for not lowering interest rates. He even escalated his complaint with a threat suggesting his intention to fire Powell…

Trump is still bashing – and threatening – Fed chair Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates.But the Trump economy is running too hot and inflation is rising. Increasing interest rates will make that worse.

Once again, the real world interceded to correct Trump’s deranged misunderstanding of economics and current events. Granted, it is not always clear if Trump is just being ignorant, delusional, or dishonest. But the result is the same. It is destructive and dangerous and contrary to democratic governance. And the sooner he is stopped from his egomaniacal, authoritarian ambitions, the better. Keep up the resistance. And hopefully his family will get him the help that he so sorely needs.

Jasmine Crockett Tells the Truth About Trump, So He is Attacking Her and Other Women of Color

Posted by on August 11, 2025 at 1:58 pm. 2 Comments :

Nothing triggers a cantankerous Donald Trump temper tantrum like somebody daring to deliver a well documented and deserved criticism of Dear Leader’s multitude of failures. There’s a lot of material to work with there, and many have taken the opportunity to knock Trump down a peg or twelve.

Jasmine Crockett on Fox News

The fragility of Trump’s massively inflated ego makes it an easy target. And he doesn’t help himself by constantly providing ammunition for his critics with comments and behavior that reek of ignorance and incoherence. He is bottomless pit of humiliating and infantile impudence.

SEE THIS: OK, So Trump is a Felon, Liar, Racist, Adulterer, and Grifter. He’s Also Just So Damn Embarrassing

Trump is especially vulnerable to criticism from women, who he regards as objects for him to abuse, demean, and dominate. He has bragged that his celebrity allows him to “grab them by the pussy.” Which is behavior that he has acted upon, resulting in a civil lawsuit that cost him almost $90 million.

Politically, Trump frequently narrows his disrespect for women to specifically Black women. And on Monday morning he offered an example of his animus toward women of color who fail to subjugate themselves to him. While in the midst of his morning routine of watching Fox News, he saw Rep. Jasmine Crockett being smeared by the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. That segment aired at about 6:45, and by 7:30 Trump was lashing out on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He posted a comment dripping with hatred and fear that said…

“‘Congresswoman’ Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons – Only slightly dumber. Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a Cognitive Exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my ‘physical’ at our GREAT Washington, D.C., Military Hospital (WR!). As the doctors said, ‘President Trump ACED it, something that is rarely seen!’ These Radical Left Lunatics would all fail this test in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence. TAKE THE TEST!!!”

Trump was up early watching Fox News (of course). So he rage-posted a typically racist (and deranged) response to a segment on Fox and Friends that bashed Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.

Trump’s insult of Crockett’s intelligence is nothing new. It is a regular line pulled from his tiny collection of rhetorical rants. He uses it mostly against women of color, including Kamala, Harris, Maxine Waters, and what he refers to as “AOC Plus Three.” By which he means representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. All women of color. Although, to be fair, Trump has occasionally used the same epithet on Black men, For instance…

Furthermore, Trump is also rehashing his preposterous claims of intellectual prowess proven by his having taken a simple cognitive test that is intended only to detect early signs of dementia, and is not a measure of intelligence. Nevertheless, he proposes that his foes “should be forced” to take the test that presents such challenges as identifying a picture of a camel, and drawing a clock. Trump is exceedingly proud of having “aced” that test and claims that doing so “is rarely seen.” Those comments alone would earn him a failing grade on the very same test.

What Trump is riled up about is the fact that Crockett, a lawyer and legal scholar, is actually a far more intelligent person than he is, and deep down inside he knows it. What’s more, she has the audacity to call out his lies with the evidence to back up her assertions, and the talent to rip apart egomaniacal snowflakes like Trump. Take for instance her recent comments at a rally supporting the Texas Democrats who are obstructing the state’s efforts to rig the next election…

“We have a Temu Hitler in the White House right now that thinks that he is going to become the dictator of the United States. Well, I’ve got another thing to tell you.”

Jasmine Crockett- "There's a Temu Hitler in the White House." ???

OK, So Trump is a Felon, Liar, Racist, Adulterer, and Grifter. He’s Also Just So Damn Embarrassing

In 2024, a survey of presidential historians conducted by the Presidential Greatness Project found that out of forty-five American presidents, Donald Trump ranked 45th. Yet somehow, coming in dead last didn’t stop his loyal cult disciples from turning out to vote for him again, sending him back the White House that he is currently turning into a glitter palace that appears to be a cross between the design sensibilities of Liberace and Saddam Hussein.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Even worse, Trump is transforming America into a neo-fascist mecca of authoritarian tyranny. He is brazenly defying the courts, implementing Gestapo tactics, embracing enemies, alienating allies, and surrounding himself with sycophants whose loyalty is to him rather than the Constitution. Trump is simultaneously preparing to steal future elections to insure his aspirations to retain power indefinitely.

The record of Trump’s occupation of the White House is one that is marred with scandal and disrepute. That includes his 34 felony convictions, his tens of thousands of lies, his cheating on all three of his wives, and his endless efforts to stuff his own pockets with billions of ill-gotten dollars. And that’s before we even get into his unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein and his moll, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Setting all of that grotesquery aside momentarily, it is impossible to observe the reality of Trump without becoming downright nauseous. He manages to find ways to embarrass America in ways never thought possible before. For instance, on Sunday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that is emblematic of his infantile tendencies. He raged that…

“Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat ever Hedge Fund in 2024. In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them. It’s all INSIDE iNFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this??? She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???”

Trump's latest post on Truth Social is downright embarrassing. He attacks Nancy Pelosi as a "disgusting degenerate," and whines about having been impeached twice. He's a quivering mass of pent up vengefulness.He sounds like a sad and pathetic parody of a Bond villain.

Who knows what triggered this particular tantrum? He doesn’t really require a reason to act out his random hostilities. It’s enough for him to harbor a virulent hatred for a perceived foe in order to lash out. In this case it’s former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her “interesting” husband. What he finds interesting about him is unmentioned. Perhaps that he was nearly murdered by a Trump supporter, which Trump has callously joked about.

Trump’s comment focuses on the financial success of the Pelosi family. Apparently that is an admirable achievement for anyone except Democrats. Trump, as usual has zero evidence of any wrongdoing by the Pelosis. He is just spreading spurious accusations in order to smear his political opponents. And of course, he floats the prospect of someone “looking into this,” which is his not so secret directive to his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to begin an investigation and issue indictments.

In closing, Trump revealed his true intentions and sleazy character. Like a petulant eight year old, Trump resorts to name-calling, whining that Pelosi is a “disgusting degenerate.” Then he reminds everyone that he was impeached twice, on solid grounds, with abundant evidence. And finally he asks, in the manner of a Mafia boss, “How are you feeling now, Nancy???” He might as well have added “Nice noggin ya got there. Be a shame if someone tried to crack it open with a hammer.”

It remains utterly unexplainable that anyone can still support this cretinous blob of hate. His language is abominable. His openly expressed thoughts are disgusting. His demeanor is that of a crime kingpin with severe emotional problems. His ego is ginormous, yet pitifully fragile. And none of his cohorts in Congress or the press will tell him the truth about what an embarrassment he is to himself, but more importantly to the nation.

So it’s up to us. With help from South Park, Stephen Colbert, the Daily Show, and other talented satirists who aren’t afraid to speak truth to power. Trump’s Achilles heel is his ego. We need to target it without mercy. LFG!
