Fox News Trump Flunky Sinks to New Low, Citing Conspiracy Crackpot as an Election News Source

Posted by on October 1, 2024 at 2:20 pm. 0 Comments :

Perhaps the least surprising thing about the 2024 presidential election is that Fox News is working furiously to advance the campaign of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions. Shilling for right-wing politicos has been the mission of Fox News from its inception. So why should anyone expect anything different now?

Fox News, Fake News

The blatant dishonesty of Fox News was exposed when they agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for 3/4 of a billion dollars. That settlement came after Dominion obtained hundreds of communications from Fox News executives and hosts revealing their deliberate lies and hypocrisies. But even that didn’t stop them…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Still Pushing the Lie that the 2020 Election Was Stolen that Cost Them $787 Million

The latest journey into journalistic disgrace for Fox manages to exceed its prior milestones of mis- and disinformation. Featured in this episode is Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, in her continuing role as a purveyor of pure propaganda. In a segment discussing the prospect of election fraud that Fox and Trump have been imagining is rampant, Bartiromo asks the national Republican Party co-chair, Michael Whatley, a question based on the “reporting” of a bona fide Internet nutjob…

Bartiromo: We want to get your take on whether or not you’ve got confidence there in Arizona because apparently The Gateway Pundit reported that the GOP chairwoman provided an update to allegations that there’s not going to be a fair election there.
Whatley: Well, there is going to be a fair election and we’re working very, very hard with the Arizona GOP. I actually had dinner with the chairwoman last night.

That’s right. Bartiromo has embraced Jim Hoft (aka Gateway Pundit), one of the most universally disreputable conspiracy peddlers on the Internet, as a source for her alleged “news” program. And the information that she draws from Hoft is a quote that he attributes to the chair of the Arizona GOP asserting that the election is already invalidated due to fraud, a month before it has taken place.

With Bartiromo’s adoption of Hoft as a source, Fox News has fully transformed into the status of an Internet Troll Network. They don’t employ any credible journalists, so their dependency on hacks like Hoft was inevitable. But to be fair, he really is no worse than Fox regulars Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends.

However, we can set aside Bartiromo’s guest, Whatley, disputing the charges by Hoft, and assuring Bartiromo that the election is going to be fair. Because it would be foolish to expect that view to stick. If Trump loses in November, the entirety of the GOP outrage machine, including Whatley, Trump, and everyone on Fox News, will be shouting from the rafters that the election was “rigged and stolen.” Just as they are still doing with regard to the 2020 election. In fact, Trump is already doing it. And even he isn’t satisfied with Fox…

Trump Lies that Democrats ‘Draw Flies’ at Their Rallies, and are Denying Him Protection at His

Posted by on September 30, 2024 at 1:42 pm. 1 Comments :

The downward spiral of Donald Trump and his floundering campaign continues to gather steam in its descent. The closer he gets to defeat, the more preposterous his outbursts become. It’s a display of paranoid desperation playing out in real time in a painfully public manner.

Trump Lies

Ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, Trump has struggled to find a way to revamp his campaign strategy from one that focused on an elderly, white, statesman, to one that effectively challenges a younger, Black, woman, with unparalleled experience and ability.

Trump appears to have settled on the old kindergarten schoolboy gambit of insulting his opponent as “stupid.” Just wait a week or two until he calls her a “poopyhead.” It’s also notable that Trump is using the same rhetoric to malign all Americans who support Harris…

SEE THIS: ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

On Monday morning Trump took a pathetic potshot at Harris that was more illustrative of his own sagging psychoses. It combined his tedious tendencies to whine with his acutely bizarre perversions of reality, claiming that…

“The Democrats are interfering with my Campaign by not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security. They’re using them for themselves, even though they don’t need them – they draw ‘flies.’ […] Hopefully the people of Wisconsin, and other areas where thousands are turned away, will realize that this is just another Democrat ploy!”

There is, of course, no truth to his assertion that Democrats have withheld Secret Service protection from him. But Trump never lets facts get in the way of his blatant propaganda. And he is once again misdirecting his own anxieties toward others. It is Trump who has the problem with drawing flies, both at his shrinking cult rallies, and surrounding himself personally, which he also believes is a plot against him…

Trump’s comment also touches on another complaint he’s had about the accurate reporting of his poorly attended rallies. In an earlier post, Trump invented a massive turnout of MAGA disciples that existed only in his twisted imagination. He said that…

“Kamala and Sleepy Joe are going out of their way to make it difficult for me to Campaign. We had one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen on Saturday, in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin…and we ended up having to use a 750 seat theater, having to send away more than 50,000 people. They were unable to give us Secret Service protection commensurate with the crowd.”

That’s right! Trump thinks that people will believe that 50,000 of his supporters actually showed up at a venue that holds 750, and were turned away. This rally was in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, a city with a population of 5,500, in a county of 16,100. You have to wonder where they parked. You also have to wonder if Trump deliberately chose this city, whose name translates to “Prairie of the Dog,” to entice hungry Haitian migrants to attend.

Finally, Trump posted another comment that announced his intention to travel to Valdosta, Georgia, so that he can get in the way of emergency operations to rescue and care for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Trump obviously feels that it’s more important for him to show up and throw paper towels and chicken fingers at the troubled residents of the region.

However, even in that pursuit, Trump had to resort to spouting ludicrous political allegations intended to incite further division at the expense of those who are suffering. He said that…

“We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia…but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!”

For the record, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp spoke with President Biden and expressed his appreciation for everything the federal government is doing to help. but telling provably false lies is how Trump thinks he will resuscitate his moribund campaign. He clearly doesn’t have any plans – or even concepts of plans – that might appeal to voters. So his entire strategy is to hurl childish insults and tell ridiculous lies.

While Trump has a faithful throng of cult devotees who adore this malarkey, the majority of the American people are repulsed by it – and by him. and if enough of then turn out on or before November 5th, Kamala Harris will hand Loser Trump another in a long line of defeats.

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

Posted by on September 29, 2024 at 1:34 pm. 3 Comments :

There are a lot of important issues facing the nation today. They range from the economy to healthcare to the climate crisis to foreign wars. But without question the primary issue that Donald Trump has latched onto for his horror show of a campaign to reoccupy the White House is immigration.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

To be sure, immigration is an important issue. And there have been some earnest attempts to deal with it responsibly. For instance, there was a bipartisan bill that passed in the Senate that would have addressed the matter in a comprehensive way. Unfortunately, it was Trump who sabotaged the bill by coercing his MAGA confederates in the House of Representatives to kill it because it might help his Democratic challenger. And that wasn’t even the worst of his demented views on immigration…

SEE THIS: From Cat Ladies to Cat Eaters: The Trump Cult is Sick, Twisted, and Totally Removed From Reality

For the past week Trump has been obsessed with a report that he said reveals shocking statistics about immigration and crime. He has posted numerous comments on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, and referenced the statistics at his recent cult rallies. There’s just one problem: He is grossly misrepresenting the data to advance his racist views on immigrants who he regards as mostly murderers, rapists, and other manner of ne’er-do-well. Let’s examine a sample of Trump’s remarks…

“14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs who have committed MURDER have been allowed to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, and roam free to KILL AGAIN…Kamala is a FOOL to have let this happen to our beautiful USA. It is totally unjustifiable, there can be nothing worse! She should be IMPEACHED for what she as done to our Country!”

We can set aside Trump’s infantile insults of Harris and his impotent demands that she be impeached. Instead, let’s focus on his ludicrous reference to the “14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs” that he says are “roaming free” to kill. That number was drawn from a report issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Trump is flatly asserting that all of these criminal migrants entered the U.S. during the Biden-Harris administration and that they – and specifically Kamala Harris – are responsible for it.

However, Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.

What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).” And whatever the actual number of violent criminals is, it would be fewer if the Senate immigration bill that Trump killed were to pass. The bill explicitly provided funding to process, and expedite deportation if necessary, migrants who committed crimes.

It goes without saying that no amount of migrant criminals released into the U.S. population is acceptable. But being realistic, there are criminals in every subset of human groups. Even native-born Americans. And as it turns out, “Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find.”

The bottom line is that a tiny fraction of a percent of undocumented immigrants have been convicted of any crime. The vast majority are harvesting our food, building our homes, and caring for our elderly. So contrary to Trump’s fear mongering that “If Kamala is reelected, your town, and every town just like it…across our country…will be transformed into a third-world hellhole,” bloodthirsty and/or jaywalking migrants are not taking over our country.

The only criminal that America really needs to be worried about right now is Donald Trump. He’s the native-born miscreant with 34 felony convictions, civil liabilities for sexual assault and financial fraud, and 50+ more felonies pending for crimes ranging from election interference to inciting a deadly insurrection. Trump is by far the greatest risk to the safety and welfare of the American people.

Trump Lies that Zelenskyy Told Him He Did Nothing Wrong, Exhuming the Lie that Got Him Impeached

Posted by on September 27, 2024 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

Five years ago Donald Trump was impeached for threatening Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an attempt to bully him into digging up – or making up – dirt on President Biden. Trump’s extortion attempt was unsuccessful as Zelenskyy steadfastly refused to buckle under to Trump’s illegal and unethical demands.

Trump Penthouse Phone

Under ordinary circumstances, most former presidents, and current candidates, might want to avoid reminding voters of that humiliating chapter in their amoral career. But Trump is hardly ordinary. He’s a malignant narcissist who is consumed with his own image and welfare to the detriment of everything and everyone else, including himself.

SEE THIS: ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

On Friday Trump met with Zelenskyy as part of his campaign to pretend that he’s still the president, or at least in some measure relevant. The meeting was just another embarrassing episode for Trump. Zelenskyy appeared to be as uncomfortable as a victim in a hostage video. But he endured the indignity of standing next to Trump on behalf of his country in order to ensure the favor of congressional Republicans who still support Ukraine.

For his part, Trump was Trump. And in his barely comprehensible comments he managed to diverge from the matter at hand, to his still seething outrage at having been impeached for trying to strongarm Zelenskyy into helping him to smear Biden in the midst of a campaign. Ignoring the actual reasons for Zelenskyy’s visit, Trump turned the discussion to his own dated anxieties, saying that…

“When they did the impeachment hoax, a Democrat hoax, which we won, but one of the reasons we won it so easily is when the president was asked – it was over a phone call with the president, and he said – he could have grandstanded and played cute, but he didn’t. He said President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. He said it loud and clear. And the impeachment hoax died there.”

As usual, there’s quite a bit of clean up to perform on that rant. First of all, the impeachment was not a hoax. It actually happened. And Trump cannot claim to have won when a majority of the House voted against him. The impeachment surely didn’t die there. In fact, there was a second impeachment to follow, related to Trump’s incitation of the insurrection on January 6, 2021.

More to the point, Trump’s assertion that Zelenskyy said that Trump “did absolutely nothing wrong” is an outright lie. To the contrary, what Zelenskyy said about what Trump calls the “perfect” phone call was pretty much the opposite, albeit in a diplomatic way. According to NBC News Zelenskyy said…

“’Look, I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo,’ Zelenskiy told Time and a handful of European publications in an interview published Monday. ‘That’s not my thing. … I don’t want us to look like beggars. But you have to understand. We’re at war. If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying.’”

Zelenskyy had to be careful about how he expressed himself. He obviously didn’t want to upset Trump. But he was clear that he wanted to avoid looking weak and doing anything that might result in the aid being withheld.

Those are concerns that Zelenskyy also had on his mind during his meeting with Trump Friday. And it must have taken a considerable amount of self control to remain silent when Trump bragged about his chumminess with the brutal aggressor who was slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, saying that he has “a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin.”

It is interesting to compare what Kamala Harris said during her meeting with Zelenskyy to what Trump said. She was unequivocally supportive of our democratic ally, and rejects Trump’s “proposals of surrender.” Trump, meanwhile was all-in with making a “deal” with Putin that would result in Ukraine giving up territory and a weakening of NATO.

Trump has once again proven that he is an insensitive, egomaniacal cretin who is unfit to hold any office of power. And for this, and so many other reasons, the American people must emphatically renounce him on November 5th.

ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

Posted by on September 26, 2024 at 9:46 am. 1 Comments :

From the inception of his political career when he descended a golden escalator and immediately maligned immigrants, Donald Trump has exacerbated the worst tendencies of partisanship, creating a greater division between Americans than has been seen in modern times.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Trump’s determination to exploit and expand ideological differences has exceeded mere politics. He is nurturing the inbred bigotry and hatred of his willing cult disciples in a manner that can and has led to violence. One notable example of this is the flagrantly false assertions that Trump has promoted about legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.

SEE THIS: From Cat Ladies to Cat Eaters: The Trump Cult is Sick, Twisted, and Totally Removed From Reality

Trump, however, has divisive ambitions that far exceed mere prejudice based on race, religion, gender, or country of origin. He appears to be hell-bent on building walls between every American who supports him and every other American. And making Mexico pay for it.

In Trump’s twisted mind, there can be no tolerance for anyone failing submit to his insistence on unflinching adoration. and he has made this clear explicitly in many of his speeches to his cult followers. So far, the acutely deranged Trump has decreed that Jews, Catholics, oil companies, and seniors who support Kamala Harris “should have their heads examined.” According to Trump…

  • “If any senior doesn’t vote for Trump, we’re going to have to send you to a psychiatrist to have your head examined.”
  • “If you’re Jewish and you vote for Biden or the Democrats or Kamala or whoever’s gonna run…you should have your head examined.”
  • “Any Catholic that votes for Comrade Kamala Harris should have their head examined.”
  • “If anybody here believes that she will let your industry continue, like fracking, you should immediately go to a psychiatrist and have your head examined.”

There is really only one response to such overtly hateful, degrading, and ignorant rhetoric. Anyone engaging in it should have their head examined. And if you aren’t in one of the groups that Trump has identified, don’t worry. You will be soon. Take heed of the warning by Martin Niemöller in his iconic poem, “First They came…” Because by the time Trump and his toadies get to your place on his list, all you will be able to say is that “there was no one left to speak for me.”

If you don’t believe that he will ever turn on you, just ask his former Vice-President, Mike Pence, or his former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, or his former Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, or his former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, or his former Director of Communications, Alyssa Farah Griffin, or his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, or…

This list could on and on. Let’s just add one more name to it. Does JD Vance need to have his head examined?

Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

Posted by on September 24, 2024 at 12:55 pm. 0 Comments :

The symptoms of malignant narcissism include an obsessive, insatiable craving for constant approval and unflinching adoration. It’s one of the most obvious symptomatic affirmations that Donald Trump is suffering from a severe case of that sociopathic personality defect. He simply cannot tolerate any diversion from total adulation.

Donald Trump Fox News

Consequently, it’s somewhat astonishing that Trump is so frequently upset with Fox News, the network that has made it their mission to advance the interests of Trump and his MAGA GOP movement. They have been so pernicious in their pursuit of pro-Trump propaganda that it cost them 3/4 of a billion dollars to back up his flagrant lies and political scams. Which they are still doing…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Still Pushing the Lie that the 2020 Election Was Stolen that Cost Them $787 Million

On Tuesday morning Trump headlined another one of his traveling salvation shows to shore up the devotion of his cult disciples. And in the process he delivered a punch to Fox News for failing in their duty to be 100% faithful to Dear Leader. Trump whined…

“You ever notice on Fox…They put me on, I do a great job. And then they follow me with a horrible commercial. I say what the hell is the good of me doing it if you’re…Roger Ailes never allowed bad commercials. What’s the purpose of me doing a nice show and then they put nine horrible commercials on, which are all lies.

“But when they put somebody on that’s good and then they always feel like they have to put somebody on who’s bad. So the net result is neutral. And you say ‘What are you doing it for? You can’t do that.’ Fox should put just the good people on. The people that want to make America great again. They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.”

So Trump believes that a for-profit cable television network should refuse paid advertising if it isn’t unconditionally complementary to Trump. They should reject all ads by his political opponents. And if they don’t, there is no purpose in him gracing the network with his presence. Would he also support MSNBC refusing his ads?

But Trump goes even farther than that. He also believes that Fox News must not invite guest commentators, or interview politicians, who do not represent his point of view. They “should put just the good people on.” By which he means those who are unwaveringly loyal to him. He is arguing that Fox should maintain a radically partisan editorial policy. Which, despite Trump’s complaints, they pretty much already do.

It is interesting that Trump name-checks former Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes, as an exemplar of the reverential toadies that meet with his approval. Ailes was fired by Fox News for repeated sexual harassment. So Trump likely feels a sense of camaraderie with Ailes in that respect, along with his extreme far-right views.

However, Trump made an inadvertent slip with his demand that “They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.” If Fox News complied with that, then Trump himself would be barred from appearances on the network. His entire public persona is a scam. He practices it with both his political ploys and his financial frauds.

Trump’s banishment from the airwaves, and politics, would be the single most effective anti-scam initiative in modern history at – in Trump lingo – a level that was never seen before. But not to worry, MAGA-nauts. Fox News will never willingly abandon their fuehrer. They have too much invested already.

Trump Rants Hysterically that Women are ‘Poor’ and ‘Depressed’ But that He Will Fix Everything

Posted by on September 21, 2024 at 1:14 pm. 0 Comments :

From the beginning of his misadventures in politics, Donald Trump has exalted himself as the panacea to all of life’s ills. He has insisted that only he could resolve the nation’s problems. He contends that all manner of misfortune – from inflation to the war in Ukraine – would never have happened were he in charge.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Trump’s magical mystery revisionist history is evidence of the severity of the decay that has spread in his sickly cerebral cavity. Not only is he clueless about problem solving, he is often the cause of the problem itself. And in the end he manages to humiliate himself with astonishingly deranged commentaries.

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

On Saturday morning Trump provided some outstanding examples of his demented world view. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted a couple of manic messages that ought to scare the bejeebus out of anyone with a remnant of rationality.

Trump began his tantrum describing the horrendous state of women in America, saying in part (and in all-caps) that…

“WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION.”

Who better than Trump to assess this “NIGHTMARE” that women are enduring? Are there no better authorities on the status of women than someone who was found liable for sexual harassment and been adjudicated a rapist? Not to mention the dozens of other accusations of sexual assault that have been levied against him.

And yet, Trump sees himself as the savior of women who can make them all “HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE!” If only they would shut their yaps and do what he tells them to do. Gawd forbid any of them ever challenge or disagree with him. They, of course, would be put in their place as “low IQ,” “birdbrains,” and/or “crazy.”

Trump’s second morning harangue was aimed the media that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He started out lambasting a familiar foe, Bill Maher, who he calls “a befuddled mess.” Then he turns to Maher’s guests, “‘dumb as a rock bimbo’ Stephanie Ruhle” and “Trump hating loser, Bret Stephens.”

Naturally, Trump’s insult of Ruhle is a misogynistic screed that further demonstrates his hatred of women. And his attack on conservative pundit Stephens includes a swipe at the New Times that he thinks he is driving crazy. He also repeats his false claim that the Times is “FAILING,” suggesting that they “put it to sleep.” For the record, the Times is doing a heck of a lot better than Trump’s own Truth Social…

This is the what Trump felt compelled to address with just over six weeks until Election Day. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are crisscrossing the country, holding rallies in swing states and interacting with voters. Trump, meanwhile, is phoning in to MAGA friendly TV shows and podcasts, and visiting places (e.g. New York) where he can’t hope to get any votes worth mentioning.

Nevertheless, Trump still has time to post ditzy diatribes on Truth Social where no one will see them but his cult followers, and critics who find him pathetic and ripe for ridicule. It’s a brilliant campaign strategy that befits a “stable genius.”

UPDATE: Desi Lydic of The Daily Show has something to say about Trump’s promise to be the protector of women…

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Report that He Was Hacked By Iran, So He Accuses Kamala Harris of Spying

Posted by on September 19, 2024 at 2:15 pm. 2 Comments :

Donald Trump has never been a particularly stable individual. He is widely known for his highfalutin histrionics and maniacal meltdowns. But ever since Kamala Harris was elevated to nominee of the Democratic Party for President, Trump has taken a treacherous turn for the worse.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Trump has always had a flare for melodrama. He ramps everything up to hyperbolic extremes in order to create an artificial buzz. But now his campaign is running solely on the fumes of his seething desperation. He is stuck in a downward spiral that threatens to drown him in ever deeper depths of delusion.

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

On Thursday morning Trump was grasping plaintively to a story about efforts by Iran to peddle stolen campaign materials. And naturally, Trump thoroughly mangled the facts so as to be unrecognizable to anyone with a toehold on reality. He posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, two comments that were more than slightly unhinged…

1st: “WOW, JUST OUT! THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN. THEREFORE SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN WERE ILLEGALLY SPYING ON ME. TO BE KNOWN AS THE IRAN, IRAN, IRAN CASE! WILL KAMALA RESIGN IN DISGRACE FROM POLITICS? WILL THE COMMUNIST LEFT PICK A NEW CANDIDATE TO REPLACE HER?”

2nd: “WHEN DOES KAMALA AND HER CAMPAIGN GO BEFORE A GRAND JURY ON IRAN, IRAN, IRAN? MY CAMPAIGN WHEN THROUGH HELL ON THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE IRAN/KAMALA CAMPAIGN CORRUPTION CASE IS REAL!”

Let’s examine this berserk outburst in some more detail, shall we? To begin with, the FBI did not catch “IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN.” In fact, they only found that someone associated with Iran had improperly acquired materials from Trump’s campaign and attempted – unsuccessfully – to pass it on to President Biden’s campaign. It all occurred before Harris had become the nominee.

Harris, therefore, was not spying on Trump, and neither was Biden. That, however doesn’t stop a pathological liar like Trump from making reckless accusations of illegalities that exist only in his disease-rotted brain. So there is no reason for Harris to resign. Although Trump ought to consider it after making such flagrantly dishonest remarks and distorting the very serious matter of foreign governments trying to subvert American democracy.

Trump went on to ask “WHEN DOES KAMALA AND HER CAMPAIGN GO BEFORE A GRAND JURY ON IRAN, IRAN, IRAN?” All three of them? You have to wonder what causes Trump to have those weird, repetitious glitches. But more to the point, there are no grounds for a Grand Jury probe of Harris for one simple reason. Because, outside of his frenzied psychobabble, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever.

Finally, Trump tries to tie his bogus contortion of this Iran story to the fully documented and treasonous acts involving his unsavory connections to Russia. And along with his blatant dishonesty, he is profoundly hypocritical with regard to making use of dirt compiled by hostile foreign countries. In 2019, George Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether he would use such materials or turn them over to the FBI. He replied that…

“I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen. There’s nothing wrong with listening. […] It’s not an [election] interference. They have information, I think I’d take it.”

Not only would Trump take such unscrupulously obtained info, he actually asked Vladimir Putin to hack Hillary Clinton’s email. This morning Trump also dispatched his campaign Senior Advisor, Tim Murtaugh, to Fox News to further spread his lies about the Iran hack. Murtaugh told Fox that…

“Of course the Iranians prefer Kamala Harris. Of course, because they have a pliant, sympathetic figure in her. The questions here today are: What exactly did the Harris campaign do with this stolen information that they were sent? What did they do with it? Did they try to shop it to the media. Did they use it in any way? This is absolutely election interference”

What exactly the campaign did with the information was to turn it over to the FBI. They didn’t use any of it. There isn’t even any evidence that they looked at it before reporting it. And this was even validated by – FOX NEWS! According to Fox…

“The Harris campaign addressed the revelation by federal agencies that individuals tied to the Biden campaign were targeted by Iranian actors with emails containing stolen Trump campaign materials [saying that] ‘We have cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities since we were made aware that individuals associated with the then-Biden campaign were among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation.’ [and that] ‘We’re not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign; a few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt.'”

[Fox also reported that] “In a joint statement released Wednesday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) [said that] ‘There is currently no information indicating those recipients replied.’ [and that] A Harris campaign official told Fox News Digital that ‘the material was not used.'”

So Trump and his campaign knew precisely what the Harris campaign did before Trump and his flunky made public statements falsely accusing Harris of improprieties. Which means that they were all lying in order to smear Harris. That, of course, is nothing new for Trump and his cohorts. In fact, it is their standard mode of operation. But it is getting more transparent and tiresome and desperate as Election Day draws nearer. Expect that trend to continue right up until November 5th, and even beyond.

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

Posted by on September 18, 2024 at 1:42 pm. 1 Comments :

With less than two months until Election Day, predictions about the outcome of the presidential race are still fairly fluid. Pundits are mostly aligned in forecasting the results as a close call. Although part of their reticence to make more bold predictions may be in part due to having been wrong so often in the recent past.

Donald Trump

However, it is undeniable that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have a decidedly strong advantage with regard to momentum. In the seven weeks since Harris became the Democratic nominee, she has raised unprecedented sums of donations and rocketed to leading positions in most polls. Trump, meanwhile, has descended to ever deeper depths of delusion triggered by fear and despair.

As usual, the best place to find out how Trump is really feeling at any given point in time is his flailing social media scam, Truth Social. And today is no exception. In another all-caps tantrum, Trump bellowed that he has a…

“BIG LEAD IN THE JUST RELEASED RASMUSSEN POLL, ONE OF THE FEW THAT GOT IT RIGHT!”

There’s a surprising amount of misinformation to unpack in that brief outburst. Let’s start with the fact that Trump’s alleged “BIG LEAD” in the Rasmussen poll is a soaring 2%, well within the margin of error. Secondly, as Trump noted, it’s a Rasmussen poll, which is a notoriously right-wing leaning operation, and has had a pro-MAGA bias from the start.

However, to his credit, Trump is correct in observing that Rasmussen’s results are “ONE OF THE FEW” that show him ahead of Harris. Almost every other credible pollster has Harris in the lead. Take a look at the RealClear Politics poll of polls…

Trump’s celebration of having a single, right-wing pollster release a survey that shows him with a small lead is evidence of his psychological misfiring, wherein he can only process positive news about himself. Which in this case is quite a feat considering that even Rasmussen’s results reveal a steep downward spiral. Have a look at the Rasmussen polls since President Biden passed the torch to Harris…

So even though Rasmussen continues to prop Trump up, it is now just by two points rather than by seven. He has stayed at about 49% the whole time, while Harris jumped from 43% to 47%. And at the risk of being repetitive, these are Rasmussen’s numbers. Trump can’t do any better than this, even with the most Trump-fluffing pollster in the business.

For good measure, Trump posted another comment that exhibits his willful delusion about himself and how voters perceive him. He bragged that…

“Finally everyone is agreeing that I won the Debate with Kamala. It was like a delayed reaction but, as one Political Pundit said, ‘Trump is still the G.O.A.T.'”

Once again, Trump is imagining that “everyone” agrees that he won the debate with Harris that he definitely lost. Polls taken after the debate confirm that Harris beat him. As do the trends evident in the general election polling. His reference to a “delayed reaction” is just another invention of his bruised psyche.

The question is whether Trump actually believes his absurd analyses of the state of the race, or if he is just trying to lead his cult followers down a primrose path. Not that it makes any difference in the long run. If it’s the former, he’s patently insane. If it’s the latter, he’s a bald-faced liar. And given those two choice the most likely answer is…It’s both. Trump is a patently insane bald-faced liar.

Tough Guy JD Vance Dares Nut Jobs to Come to His Rally and Try to Assassinate Him

Posted by on September 17, 2024 at 2:03 pm. 2 Comments :

The 2024 presidential campaign has suddenly taken on a new topic of discussion. It has consumed the commentaries of the candidates, as well as much of the media coverage. But what’s peculiar about it is that it isn’t really anything new. In fact, it is something that has been present for months, even years.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

This emerging topic has to do with the profusion of hostile and inflammatory rhetoric that has the potential to incite violence. And now everyone seems to be talking about it. Never mind that Donald Trump has been disgorging incendiary rants since the inception of his political career. It is only now becoming newsworthy, in part due to the recent incidents involving Trump and a couple of crazed, gun-toting individuals. Incidents that Trump immediately exploited with hostile and inflammatory rhetoric:

SEE THIS: Trump Blames the Alleged Assassination Attempt at His Golf Course on Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

On Tuesday morning, Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, joined in the exploitation at a campaign event in Michigan. During his speech he predictably sought to blame Kamala Harris and other Democrats for ramping up the rhetoric that he claimed would result in violence. It was a purely political accusation that had no foundation in reality. But it was only the beginning for Vance. Escalating his own bombastic blather, Vance said that…

“With close to 500 patriots in the state of Michigan in this building right now and outside, I’d like to see an assassin try to come in this room. They’ve come in the wrong place, if you try to walk into this place right now.

Seriously? Vance is issuing a straightforward invitation to some other crazed individuals who would take his words as a challenge. They might believe that answering that call could make them famous. And while Vance might think that he’s taking a macho stance against political hitmen, he’s actually just fomenting potential tragedies that would get innocent people killed.

Contrary to Vance’s phony bravado, it would not be impossible for a gunman to gain entry to one his campaign events. And if he came armed with an assault weapon, he could do an enormous amount of harm to innumerable people before any of the “patriots” in the room could stop him. So Vance is putting the lives of many others at risk in order to make himself look like a tough guy.

Vance’s provocation is just another type of inflammatory rhetoric. But it would have the same dire consequences. Trump and his confederates couldn’t care less about the welfare of others. And their complaints about hostile dialog is hypocritical in the extreme.

No one has spewed more incendiary – and utterly dishonest – words than Trump himself. From his calling Harris a “Marxist, communist, fascist,” to asserting that the Democrats want to “destroy the country,” and that if they are elected “there will be no country,” to charges that the left favors “murdering babies after they are born,” to claiming that Democrats want “open borders” to allow “criminals and mental patients to pour in,” so they can wreak havoc and vote for more Democrats.

Trump’s ravings are nothing short of insanity. Meanwhile, the things that he complains that Democrats are saying about him are not remotely comparable. For instance, saying that Trump is a threat to democracy is not inflammatory rhetoric. It’s the truth! and Trump’s own words and actions confirm it.

Trump has yet to accept the results of the 2020 election that he lost. He incited a deadly insurrection and assault on the Capital in order to undermine democracy and maintain power. He proposed having the military shoot protesters. He aligns himself with foreign enemies like Vladimir Putin, and advances their anti-American agenda. He literally called for terminating the Constitution…

Trump and Vance, and the Republican Party at large, all want to silence Democrats and others who disagree with them. They demand that only Democrats tone down their rhetoric, but that Trump et al should remain free to rant hysterically at will. Needless to say, that isn’t gonna fly with either Democrats or the majority of the American people. And provocations like the one that Vance just made will only serve to drive the MAGA party farther into the fringes. Hopefully, however, it won’t produce any more harm in the interim.
