TACO Trump Chickens Out on His Mass Deportation Plans When it Affects Him and His Wealthy Pals

Posted by on June 12, 2025 at 3:26 pm. 1 Comments :

The unconstitutional, anti-American, and profoundly cruel immigration policies of Donald Trump and his fascist regime have proven to be a complete catastrophe. They do not further any goal of advancing the law, the safety, or the economic welfare of the nation or its residents.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

The only things that Trump’s totalitarian tactics accomplish are destabilizing communities, frightening families, bankrupting businesses, instilling distrust in authorities, and causing irreparable harm to individuals who don’t warrant such harsh, inhumane treatment. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom detailed some of this in a speech earlier this week.

SEE THIS: California Gov. Gavin Newsom Spells Out the Imminent Threat that Trump Represents, and the Solution

Many politicians, economists, labor experts, and diplomats, have alerted Trump and his cronies to the obvious damage that his villainous impropriety causes. But typical of Trump, he doesn’t care until there is some impact on him or someone whose interests he is serving. Which is apparently what triggered Trump’s comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, on Thursday morning. He wrote that…

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

There’s a lot of steaming bullpucky in that paragraph. For instance, it contains the first ever acknowledgement by Trump that some of the undocumented migrants in this country are “very good workers” who would be “impossible to replace” However, the only reason that Trump expresses any interest in them is because his wealthy pals in agribusiness have been whining about the adverse economic effects of his repugnant mass deportation schemes. And he adds “the Hotel and Leisure business,” because that’s Trump’s business.

So suddenly something has to be done about it to keep Trump and his friends from suffering financially. It’s emblematic of the TACO label that has recently been attached to him: “Trump Always Chickens Out!” In this case he folded at the behest of his billionaire buddies. Trump doesn’t explain why the same thing isn’t true for workers in restaurants, or factories, or construction, or healthcare, or landscaping, or even to students.

Trump went on to say that if farm workers are deported they will be replaced by criminals. He has absolutely zero evidence of that happening anywhere, but pathological liars don’t need evidence. And it seems unlikely that criminals have aspirations to move to rural areas where they can do hard labor in the fields. This is just further proof that Trump’s brain is severely dysfunctional. And he confirmed that diagnosis in an exchange with Fox News correspondent, Peter Doocy, later the same day…

Doocy: What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?
Trump: Well, we’re not targeting. In fact, if you look today I put out a statement about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt badly by – you know they have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for twenty years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that. We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have.

Q: “What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?”Trump: “Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers…They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-06-12T18:11:56.443Z

Notice that Trump misunderstood the question, failing to grasp that Doocy was asking about the change in targeting. But he also failed to answer the question which inquired as to why he changed his mind. Does he even know that he did change his mind?

What’s more, while Trump conceded that there is a problem, he neglected to suggest anything that resembled a solution. But in his defense, that’s only because he’s too cognitively deficient to have solutions to any problem. All he has is hostility and vengeance and greed and an aberrant lust for power.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom Spells Out the Imminent Threat that Trump Represents, and the Solution

Posted by on June 11, 2025 at 9:48 am. 1 Comments :

On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered a speech in response to the unprecedented deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to unlawfully engage in law enforcement activities in Los Angeles.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Trump’s orders, that violate both civil law and the Constitution, are further evidence of his craving to impose an authoritarian dictatorship in the United States, with him as the unchallenged and unchallengeable tyrant reigning over the demolition of democracy. He has lied repeatedly about the situation on the ground in L.A., claiming that the city was on fire and would be “completely obliterated” if not for him. And he has maligned the leadership of its Democratic Mayor and Governor who were competently dealing with the protests. Trump even endorsed arresting Gov. Newsom.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Calls for Gov. Gavin Newsom to Be Arrested and to Thank Him for Being ‘So Wonderful’

Newsom’s speech (video below) was an inspiring rebuttal to Trump’s seething hatefulness, ignorance, and anti-Americanism. What follows is a part of the speech that spelled out some of Trump’s most egregiously abhorrent actions, along with the solution. Some highlighting was added, but no further commentary, because Newsom says it all pretty damn well.

“This is a president who, in just over 140 days, has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable, accountable for corruption and fraud. He’s declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases quite literally are vanishing.

“He’s delegitimizing news organizations and he’s assaulting the First Amendment, and the threat of defunding them. At threat, he’s dictating what universities themselves can teach. He’s targeting law firms and the judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly and civil society. He’s calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than to, in his own words, ‘for getting elected.’

“And we all know, this Saturday, he’s ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.

“Look, this isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. he made that order apply to every state in this nation. This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault right before our eyes.

“This moment we have feared has arrived. He’s taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our founding fathers’ historic project: three co-equal branches of independent government. There are no longer any checks and balances. Congress is nowhere to be found. Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility.

“The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don. The founding fathers didn’t live and die to see this kind of moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up. […]

“I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, Tries and Fails to Justify Trump’s War on Los Angeles

Posted by on June 10, 2025 at 1:26 pm. 0 Comments :

From the day that Donald Trump first nominated Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense, it was widely viewed as a dangerously inappropriate proposal to elevate a completely unqualified Fox News weekend host with a history of abusing both alcohol and women.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Hegseth’s experience for the job that Trump sought to give him was his junior officer ranking in the Army twenty years ago, and his management of two military related non-profits that both fired him for his incompetence and malfeasance. But he met Trump’s prerequisites, which were that he would do or say anything that Trump told him without regard to the truth or the welfare of the nation, and that he looked good on TV.

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

Following Trump’s declaration of war against the City of Los Angeles, Hegseth appeared before the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. His testimony was about as rife with ignorance and dereliction as one would expect from such an unfit official. He came utterly unprepared for the inquiry that he knew he would face. That includes not having any data regarding the Pentagon’s budget proposal that the Appropriations Committee was expecting.

To make matters worse, Hegseth was also stumped by questions he should have anticipated. Particularly those about Trump’s unlawful deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in response to an overwhelmingly peaceful protest against the hostile excesses of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) in Los Angeles. And in an exchange with Rep. Pete Aguilar, Hegseth provided a chilling demonstration of just how clueless he is about his duties…

Rep. Aguilar: The legal basis that the president used cites three examples in circumstances for the Guard. Invasion by a foreign nation; a rebellion or dangerous rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States; or the president is unable with regular forces to execute the laws of the United States. Which authority is triggered here to justify the use?
Hegseth: I don’t know. You just read it yourself, and people can listen themselves. But it sounds like all three to me.

"Sounds like all three to me" — Pete Hegseth suggests the United States is under invasion by a foreign nation, prompting the need for troops in Los Angeles

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-10T15:34:58.019Z

REALLY? Let’s examine these one at a time, shall we?

Invasion By a Foreign Nation:
There is no evidence whatsoever that any foreign nation had invaded the United States. Hegseth mentioned the presence of some Mexican flags, but that does not infer that the government of Mexico had anything to do with the protests, and they certainly did not. There were no Mexican troops or military assets deployed to take over the U.S. The notion is downright preposterous.

A Rebellion Against the Authority of the Government of the United States:
None of the protesters came anywhere near attempting to usurp the authority of the U.S. government. They were merely exercising their rights as stated in the First Amendment to the Constitution to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Which can only be seen as a rebellion by the tyrannical tendencies of the Trump administration, where Trump regards anything critical of him as treason.

The President is Unable With Regular Forces to Execute the Laws of the United States.
The leadership provided by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, were more than sufficient to deal with the sometimes rowdy behavior of a few protesters. If Trump was invoking this excuse for his military incursion, than he was, in effect, conceding that he was the one who was unable to execute the laws that he swore to uphold. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone, considering that he literally admitted that he doesn’t believe he has any obligation to do so.

MORE HERE: WTHF? When Asked ‘Don’t You Need to Uphold the Constitution,’ Trump Replies ‘I Don’t Know.’

Later in his testimony, Hegseth was asked about the costs associated with the deployment of troops to clamp down on the people’s right to protest. He tried to dodge the question, but was pressed on it until he finally allowed an aide to provide the answer…

“After persistent questioning about the cost of sending National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration raids, Hegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who said it would cost $134 million.”

With that amount of money, we could house and feed more than 4,000 homeless veterans for a year. We could provide more than 9,000 veterans with healthcare for a year. Or we could oppress and intimidate a few hundred advocates for migrants’ civil rights for a month. Spending money on this deployment is an even worse allocation of funds than Trump’s ludicrous and vain $45 million birthday parade that he’s throwing for himself in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. For which he is also threatening anyone who dares to protest it.

Hegseth is not the only member of Trump’s Quack Cabinet to malign the protesters in Los Angeles. His Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, also took a swipe at them and wound up hitting the entire population of the city, saying that L.A. “is not a city of Immigrants, it’s a city of criminals.” Really? All 4,000,000 of them?

However, the views of Noem and Hegseth are not shared by the American people. A new poll has found that “47% of U.S. adults disapprove of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval…45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.”

Not that Trump or his cronies care about what the American people think. But maybe this will get some Republicans in Congress to grow a spine and reject Trump’s totalitarianism. Keep hope alive.

Herr Trump Calls for Gov. Gavin Newsom to Be Arrested and to Thank Him for Being ‘So Wonderful’

Posted by on June 9, 2025 at 12:05 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend Donald Trump took the extremist action of federalizing the California National Guard to suppress the overwhelmingly peaceful protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs who are inflaming violence and chaos.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom did not request the Guard, as required by law for Trump to deploy them. Which Trump himself acknowledged back in 2020. Both Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, adamantly insisted that they had the necessary law enforcement resources to handle the protests. Which was proven to be true, as the only thing that Trump’s actions did was to make things worse. But then, what more would you expect from Trump, whose decision making is severely impaired.

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday morning Trump spoke with reporters outside of the white House when he was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about a comment Newsom made regarding Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, threatening to arrest him. Which led to this exchange…

Doocy: Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it?
Trump: I would do it if I were Tom. I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing. He’s done a terrible job. I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows.”

"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great" — Trump endorses the arrest of Gov. Gavin Newsom

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-09T16:59:33.068Z

And there you have it. Trump is explicitly calling for the arrest of Newsom. Never mind that he has no plausible charges of wrongdoing. It’s just his penchant for authoritarianism that has manifested itself previously with the persecution of judges, mayors, and members of Congress, who he has had arrested.

UPDATE: Later on Monday Trump was asked what crime Newsom committed that would warrant his arrest. Trump replied “He ran for governor.” so running for governor is apparently now illegal in Trump’s America.

It hardly matters that Trump says that he likes Newsom, while calling him “grossly incompetent” and seeking his arrest. Trump is agreeing with Homan about the abhorrent and unwarranted prosecution of the governor of America’s most populous state. But Newsom is not afraid of Trump. He literally dared Trump to follow through on his threat. Will TACO Trump chicken out again?

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn … Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-09T02:35:52.032Z

What’s more, Trump posted a deranged comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, congratulating himself on his tyrannical behavior and pathetically begging for Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass to thank him, saying that…

“We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent ‘Governor,’ Gavin Newscum, and ‘Mayor,’ Karen Bass, should be saying, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'”

This is another example of Trump’s preposterous hyperbole. Does he really think that Los Angeles, with a population of nearly ten million in the greater metropolitan area, “would have been completely obliterated” had it not been for his gross overreaction to the protests? And what psychological dysfunction causes him to continually demand that people thank him, when he is so undeserving of anything but contempt and shame? He expects everyone to suck up to him like the feckless fluffers in his Cabinet.

It is clear, however, why Trump is so hostile toward Newsom (to whom he has attached the infantile nickname, Newscum). Trump is jealous and threatened and seething with rage after Newsom so articulately castrates him with commentaries like the the following…

Wannabe Dictator Trump Threatens ‘Serious Consequences’ If Musk Donates to Democrats

Posted by on June 7, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 2 Comments :

This week there was a mammoth quake that shook the political firmament. The richest, most arrogant man in the world, Elon Musk, and the most powerful and ignorant one, Donald Trump, suffered an ugly divorce. It dissolved what was briefly a historic alliance of two self-serving billionaires with delusions of grandeur and aspirations of supremacy over mankind.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

The ballooning brouhaha started out slowly, then built up a head of steam that resulted in Musk implying that Trump was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilic pals, and Trump threatening to cut off Musk’s umbilical cord to government funding.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Cancel Musk’s Government Contracts Because He ‘Just Went Crazy’

The MAGA-verse was discombobulated as to how to respond to this break up, and which daddy to love. Fox News nearly had an on air seizure trying to sort it all out. Although there were those on Fox, and within the Republican ranks, who relied on the wishful thinking that it would all blow over shortly when the two elite lovers reconciled. But that was not to be – at least so far.

On Saturday it was reported that Trump told NBC News host Kristen Welker that he “has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk.” However, he didn’t stop there. Trump escalated the rhetorical war with a threat that is further evidence of his lust for totalitarian rule.

“President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be ‘serious consequences’ if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“‘If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,’ Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be. ‘He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that'”

For the record, Musk has suggested that he would back challengers to Republican members of Congress who vote for Trump’s preposterously named (by Trump) “Big Beautiful Bill.” Musk tweeted that he “can’t stand it anymore,” and that any Republicans who support that “disgusting abomination” should be ashamed.

While Democrats might accept Musk’s donations in order to bury the bill and get rid of some MAGA Republicans, that doesn’t mean that they approve of his prior sabotaging of critical government agencies and services via the phony “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). The greater good served by casting out the GOP Trump cultists justifies the fiscal jiu-jitsu of diverting some of Musk’s billions to a decent cause.

However, Trump’s threat of “serious consequences” for donating to Democrats is an alarming escalation of his authoritarian aspirations. He is asserting that he has some sort of power to dictate how private citizens can contribute to politicians or political causes. That is flagrantly unconstitutional.

Trump had no problem when Musk donated more than a quarter of a billion dollars to his campaign. And if money equals speech, as the Supreme Court ruled in the right-wing Citizens United decision, then Trump’s threat is violating Musk’s freedom of speech. And, by extension, the freedom of speech of every other American.

Another curious twist in this continuing melodrama is the discovery that Musk has apparently deleted some of his recent tweets aimed at Trump. Was this in response to Trump’s threats? It’s hard to imagine that he had a pang of conscience. You need to have a conscience for that. And neither of them meet that criteria.

Trump Threatens to Cancel Musk’s Government Contracts Because He ‘Just Went Crazy’

Posted by on June 5, 2025 at 1:10 pm. 0 Comments :

The intensifying feud between Donald Trump and his billionaire benefactor, Elon Musk, is providing some of the best soap opera melodrama that America has seen in decades. And coming just a few days after they had an affectionate farewell in the Oval Office just makes it all the more enticing as an entertainment event.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk

It didn’t take long for the bombs to fly across the crybabies battlefield. It was Musk who threw the first flurry of explosives on Wednesday when he lambasted Trump and his “Big Ugly Bill” that he’s currently pushing through Congress. Musk didn’t mince words, calling it a “disgusting abomination,” due to its multi-trillion dollar increase of the national debt.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Favorite Fox News Flunkies FREAK OUT Over the ‘Big Bogus Bill’ Breaking Up Trump and Musk

On Thursday morning Trump fired back with a couple of comments posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. and was pretty direct as well, saying that…

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”

There’s a lot of derp stuffed into that brief passage. First of all, Trump did not ask Musk to leave. Musk’s tenure as a temporary “special government employee” was expired. And at the farewell ceremony, Trump gave Musk a golden key to the White House and said that Musk wasn’t really leaving.

As for Musk’s electric cars that nobody wants, Trump actually bought one himself in a widely publicized, staged photo-op in front of the White House. Yet Trump was still “disappointed” by Musk’s betrayal which led to this historic first…

The feud between Trump and Musk is escalating with two notable comments that mark what may be the first time that either of them has told the truth…1?? Trump accuses Musk of being a self-serving ingrate (TRUE)2?? Musk accuses Trump of being a liar (TRUE)

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T16:53:35.761Z

Trump followed that up with a second post on Truth Social saying that…

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Fantastic! That would be the best thing to come out of this bellicose brouhaha. Musk has built his fortune on government subsidies from the U.S., as well as China and other countries. If Trump were to follow through on this threat it would indeed save American taxpayers billions of dollars. Unfortunately, Trump has a terrible record of following through on anything. Hence his new nickname, TACO Trump (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Meanwhile, Trump is demonstrating some the best justifications for removing him from office via the 25th Amendment. His cognitive decline has sunk to depths previously thought unimaginable. For instance, Thursday morning he made a preposterous comment about the price of groceries…

Trump says "Eggs have come down 400%"?COOL! That means that you could could walk into the store, fill your shopping cart with eggs, and walk out with hundreds of dollars and the eggs.And he talks about President Biden's mental acuity?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T17:47:54.999Z

And Trump also displayed his shockingly ignorant grasp of history in a press avail with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz…

Trump has no idea what D-Day was. Then again, he has no idea about anything other than what idiocy creeps into his mush-filled brain.Trump is utterly incapable of running this country. Or running a lemonade stand. He'll bankrupt it like he did his own businesses 4 times.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T17:39:09.119Z

And in the midst of this, and so many other examples of Trump’s failing mental acuity, Trump is calling for an investigation of President Biden. As reported by ABC News…

“Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether former President Joe Biden’s administration sought to conspire to cover up his mental state while in office.”

Never mind that Trump even admits that he has no evidence of his allegations. What he has is his bizarre declaration that he has “uncovered the human mind” and had a debate with it.

UH-OH: Trump has "uncovered the human mind."Now we're really f*cked!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T19:04:59.482Z

So much for the sustainability of life on Earth.

UPDATE: The feud is going scorched earth. Now Musk has accused Trump of being “in the Epstein files” and has endorsed his impeachment.

UH-OH… Now Musk has accused Trump of being "in the Epstein files" and has endorsed his impeachment.

Trump’s Favorite Fox News Flunkies FREAK OUT Over the ‘Big Bogus Bill’ Breaking Up Trump and Musk

Posted by on June 4, 2025 at 3:41 pm. 0 Comments :

In the five months since Donald Trump began his second occupation of the White House, almost nothing of any significance has been accomplished through the conventional, lawful paths of government. The Republican led Congress has been virtually AWOL, leaving most of the governing to their Dear Leader’s tyrannical penchant for executive ordering whatever cruel and screwball notion seeps into his mush filled head.

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

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Among the critical issues that face any presidential administration is the production of a budget to keep the wheels of the nation turning. That legislation sets the fiscal parameters for everything from taxes, to defense, to healthcare, to criminal justice, to Social Security, to foreign relations, and so much more. And ironically, those all just happen to be subjects that challenge Trump’s ability to comprehend reality.

SEE THIS: ‘What About Trump?’ CNN Finally Asks About Trump’s Mental Acuity. Meanwhile, on Fox News…

The budget bill that is currently before Congress is facing an uphill battle for passage. Last week it passed in the House of Representatives by a single vote. Now the Republicans in the Senate are divided over whether the bill’s tax cuts for the rich are steep enough, and whether its cuts to popular programs that benefit America’s working class, such as Medicaid and Food Stamps, are cruel enough.

That divide has spilled over into the chummy relationship between Trump and his billionaire benefactor, Elon Musk. Despite Musk’s marauding DOGE campaign to gut many of the agencies that do the most important work on behalf of the American people, he has now come out against Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination,” due to its multi-trillion dollar increase of the national debt.

Hmmm… Musk can't stand it "anymore"???So he was able to stand it for a while when he was still working in Trump's White House? What changed?? His employment?? His drugs?? His greed?? All of the above?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-03T19:06:00.082Z

The reality TV style melodrama spinning around this political spat is also being played out at Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Wednesday morning Trump’s favorite Fox News show, Fox and Friends, dived into the swamp (video below). Beginning with a lament from co-host Brian Kilmeade…

Kilmeade: I think the Elon Musk thing really caught the president by surprise. And I hear he’s furious. But I think he’s so smart to keep his powder dry. Because it just plays into what critics would have to say. The right can’t get out of their own way. Instead, you have a goal: Pass it. Elon Musk is not in the Senate or the House. Don’t worry about it.

If Kilmeade is right about Trump being caught by surprise and being furious, then Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, lied when she told reporters that Trump already knew Musk’s opinions about the bill before he went public with them. As for Trump “keeping his powder dry,” another phrase that might describe that is “TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out,” He’s afraid to go against Musk. He didn’t have any trouble lambasting Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie when when they criticized the bill. Why not Musk? And that’s when Kilmeade’s colleague, Lawrence Jones, spoke up…

Jones: Can I offer a different perspective? As someone who is supportive of the president’s agenda, I am upset with Congress right now. I don’t blame the president for the “Big Beautiful Bill.” I blame Congress because they go to their constituents every single election. They say they’re gonna cut spending. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. And it doesn’t seem like there is a willingness to do that.

First of all, how is Jones’ perspective any different than his co-host’s? More to the point, his reluctance to blame Trump is more evidence that he is a fully indoctrinated Trump cult member. The bill is exactly what Trump lobbied for. Congress wanted to divide it up into separate bills, but Trump demanded that it be combined into one. And it was Trump who told Congress to give the bill the childish name, “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Which they did. What’s more, the bill is full of cuts. But they are mostly cuts to critical programs that the American people need and support, or cuts to taxes on the wealthy. And this is where co-host Ainsley Earhardt chose to join in…

Earhardt: I’m with you on being very respectful on some of the same interviews. Just saying, look, we have differences. I don’t agree with him on everything. But this latest comment about calling the “Big Beautiful Bill” a disgusting abomination, I was shocked to hear him say that. I can understand why the president would not be happy about that. Because this is someone that worked on his team.

Earhardt is now demonstrating the “shock” that so many MAGA disciples have had when Trump and his cronies inevitably part ways. Because none of them have any ingrained morals or principles that would bind them together. It is always transactional concerns that benefit one or the other that eventually crack under the pressure of their selfishly contrary goals.

One thing is clear from all of this. The Fox friends who have so adored Musk for the past few months are squarely on the side of their Mango Messiah. They can’t understand how Musk could have betrayed them. And they remain supportive of the “Big Bogus Bill” despite the low approval ratings of both the bill and Trump. But then, that’s how cults work. How could it be otherwise?

BREAKING: Fox Host Brian Kilmeade says: “The Elon Musk thing caught the President by surprise and I hear he's furious."

TACO Trump Tries to Blame Biden for the Boulder Terrorist Attack that Happened on His Watch

Posted by on June 2, 2025 at 12:37 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend there was another act of domestic terrorism in America – this time in Boulder, Colorado – committed by an anti-Semitic extremist purporting to be a supporter of Palestinians. Although, nothing could be more destructive of Palestinian interests than a terrorist who seems to support the hostage taking by Hamas that the victims in Boulder were protesting.

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Many concerned Americans from across the political spectrum condemned the attack in its immediate aftermath. But Donald Trump, too chicken to address the matter, said nothing about it until the next day. Presumably he was too busy to even express any sympathy for the victims because that would have have interrupted the golf game he was engaged in at the time. Not to mention his other pressing duties as president…

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday, when Trump finally had time to make a statement about the crime, he unleashed a typically Trumpian load of bile. And naturally, he sought to cast blame on his political foes for a tragic event that occurred on his watch. He posted a comment exhibiting his callous self-interest to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy.”

Most notable in Trump’s response is his desperate effort to cast blame on former President Joe Biden. He resorts to that defamation even before showing any concern for the plight of those who were hurt. And true to form, Trump flagrantly lied about the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Trump implies that he was an illegal immigrant by asserting that he entered the U.S. through “Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy” an asinine phrase that Trump only uses with regard to illegal immigration. But Soliman is an Egyptian who entered the U.S. legally. And when his visa expired he applied for and received a valid work permit.

However, none of that matters to Trump, whose only interest is maligning his perceived enemies and absolving himself of any responsibility. The untouchable Mr. Trump always insists that he knows nothing about anything in order to distance himself from whatever horrendous affair he’s hoping to avoid an association with, or is too cowardly or ignorant to face. The problem for Trump is that his own team of White House liars sometimes inadvertently contradict him. For instance…

Trump’s own official Rapid Response team posted a timeline for Soliman’s immigration status that shows that he was a legal immigrant with a valid work permit during the Biden administration. It wasn’t until March of 2025, during Trump’s term, that the permit expired. So it was Trump who allowed him to stay in the U.S. to commit an act of terrorism.

Trump has repeatedly said that he would focus his ethnic cleansing …er… mass deportation efforts on the most dangerous criminals in the U.S. illegally. Apparently that means Harvard students who write op-eds for their college newspaper, law abiding fathers with steady jobs and American wives, makeup artists with Latino names, and four year old cancer patients. But he let Soliman stay. And somehow it was Biden’s fault?

And that’s not all, Trump’s senior White House advisor, Stephen Miller, likewise blamed Biden in a tweet about Soliman’s illegal status, even though that was not the case until Trump was in office. And a similar tweet was posted by the official Trump War Room account on Twitter.

Clearly Trump’s interest in this matter is not related to the fate of the victims, the administration of justice, or the welfare of the American people. His highest priorities in responding to this tragedy are to whitewash his own reputation and to slander his adversaries. Which is a pretty good summation of the malignant narcissism that governs Trump’s priorities when responding to anything.

WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

Posted by on June 1, 2025 at 12:12 pm. 0 Comments :

Last month a book was published that purported to reveal an alleged mental incapacity of President Joe Biden. The authors of “Original Sin,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, asserted that Biden’s condition was covered up by his staff and family, but they never actually provided any evidence of any act or behavior that impacted his ability to govern efficiently and successfully. Which may account for the book’s poor reception and the ratings decline of Tappers CNN program.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Nevertheless, the failure of the book to document the core premise of its authors didn’t stop them, or much of the mainstream media, from engaging in obsessive coverage of the book to the exclusion of many other far more newsworthy issues. Particularly the state of Trump’s own mental health considering that, by his own admission, he is perilous ignorant of a wide range of subjects that the president ought to know…

While the Washington press has been fixated on dubious accusations aimed at Biden, Trump has been busy providing real proof of severe cognitive decline. And it’s much worse with Trump if only because he is not a former president in retirement on a Delaware beach, but is the current occupant of the White House whose deficiencies could result in catastrophes. For instance, just within the past few days…

CLONES? Trump promoted an insane post on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, asserting that Biden was executed in 2020, and replaced by clones, or soulless, mindless robots, or WTF, you figure it out…

Trump posted this insanity on Truth Social about President Biden having been executed and replaced by clones…“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference.”

MICE? Trump repeated the already debunked nonsense that “They spent $8 million on making mice transgender…I could sit here all day and read things just like that.” The research that he’s referring to was on “transgenic” mice, which is completely different.

WOW! Trump's dishonesty and stupidity is totally OFF THE CHARTS!He has already been told that it is not "transgender" mice. It's "transgenic." Which has nothing to do with sexuality. It is gene therapy research to help save human lives.

AUTOPENS? Trump fantasizes – without evidence – about Biden using on autopen to sign nearly everything during his term in office saying that, “I think the autopen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time…Who signed these orders and proclamations and all these other things that he signed?”

Trump: "I think the autopen is gonna become one of the great scandals of all time."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-05-30T18:18:17.181Z

ANGUISH? Trump whines that he has suffered “mental anguish” as a result of how CBS’ 60 Minutes edited an interview of Kamala Harris six months ago. So he’s suing them for $20 billion dollars. Poor baby.

MEANWHILE, on Fox News, they were devoting much of their airtime to Biden and their manufactured musings about his mental acuity. The Fox and Friends “Curvy Couch” potatoes, Will Cain and Rachel Campos-Duffy, played a clip of Biden responding humorously to a question about it…

Biden (video clip): You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, and I can’t walk. And I can beat the hell out of both of them [Tapper and Thompson].
Reporter: Do you want to reply to any of those reports and also the fact that are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first place.
Biden: Why didn’t they run against me then. Because I would have beaten them.
Cain (in studio): If any viewers know what he’s saying, please email us.
Campos-Duffy: There’s so much to unpack there. I have no idea what he said. None of the words made sense together.

Apparently Biden’s entirely comprehensible and light-hearted, snarky response was over the heads of the Fox News hosts. Hopefully they will get someone to explain it them later.

However, that won’t resolve the problem with their flagrantly biased coverage of Biden, or their avoidance of covering Trump’s more obvious and dangerous mental maladies. What follows are a few more examples of Trump’s deteriorating mental state. It is not a comprehensive list. But it would be helpful if the media would do its job and report on these and other episodes of Trump’s inability to comprehend reality…

Trump Won’t Take Daily Intel Briefings, So His DNI Wants to Hire Fox News Producers to Make Them

Posted by on May 31, 2025 at 11:58 am. 2 Comments :

One of the most troubling aspects of Donald Trump’s work ethic (or lack thereof) is his notoriously neglectful attitude toward doing any actual work. His office hours are reportedly limited due to what his aides refer to as “executive time“ (aka napping, eating, watching Fox News, and rage-posting insults and self-exalting nonsense on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social).

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump refuses to educate himself on critical issues. He recklessly disseminates provably false information because he’s too lazy and/or dishonest to learn the truth. And he spends more time on the golf course, schmoozing at Mar-a-Lago, and pitching his cheesy merch, stocks, and cryptocurrencies that have lost gullible rubes billions of dollars, than he does engaged in the business of governing or anything that’s relevant to advancing the interests of the American people.

SEE THIS: PINO TRUMP: A President-In-Name-Only Who Spends More Time on TV and Golfing than Presidenting

A new report by NBC News reveals that Trump has not been paying attention to the daily briefings prepared for him by his intelligence staff. In fact, according to NBC’s inside sources (as many as five of them), he rarely even attends the “President’s Daily Brief” (PDB) to get updates on national security from his utterly unqualified Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard. According to NBC News…

“Trump’s intelligence chief is exploring ways to revamp his routine intelligence briefing in order to build his trust in the material and make it more aligned with how he likes to consume information, according to five people with direct knowledge of the discussions. […]

“One idea that has been discussed is to transform the PDB so it mirrors a Fox News broadcast, according to four of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions. Under that concept as it has been discussed, the national intelligence director’s office could hire a Fox News producer to produce it and one of the network’s personalities to present it”

Could anything be a more perfect representation of Trump’s utter lack of concern for the gravity of America’s place in a dangerous world? He simply couldn’t care less. And his capacity to understand what’s going on is below that of a remedial elementary schooler. Consequently, his own staff believes that he requires a special education program modeled after the lowest IQ cable news network, Fox News.

However, it’s curious that Gabbard would need to hire Fox News producers and presenters to act out Trump’s briefings when the Trump administration already has so many former Fox News employees (including Gabbard) working in the White House right now.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

Perhaps Gabbard could persuade Fox News host Sean Hannity to come aboard for this project. Or maybe Jesse Watters. Or even Dear Leader’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, whose Fox News program debuted earlier this year. But then, they would all have to get security clearances to be allowed to present the top secret intelligence info to Trump. Could they even qualify? The report goes on to say that…

“According to his public schedule, since his inauguration Trump has taken the PDB 14 times, or on average less than once a week, which is less often than his recent predecessors — including himself during his first term. An analysis of their public schedules during that same timeframe — from their inauguration through May during their first year in office — shows that former President Joe Biden received 90 PDBs”

It’s clear that Trump has little interest in the important issues that have burdened other presidents. And NBC’s sources also revealed that “The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t read,” and that he has a “distrust of intelligence officials.” Many of whom he fired in the first few weeks of his second occupation of the White House. However, true to form, the DNI Press Secretary, Olivia Coleman, called NBC’s reporting “fake news.”

The fact that Trump is regarded by his own staff as too mentally deficient to grasp the complexities of national security without it being dumbed down for him in Fox News video bites, should worry the intelligence community that is still in place. And it should also worry the American people. That is, if the media does its job to inform them on an ongoing basis with the appropriate measure of urgency.
