Putin Pawns Vance and Gaetz Take Russia’s Side Against Ukraine on OAN, Advocate Economic Ties

Posted by on September 10, 2025 at 4:45 pm. 1 Comments :

The unrelenting campaign of propaganda that is dispensed by Donald Trump and his administration appears to be inspired by the PR campaigns of entertainment media, particularly the reality TV genre that birthed Trump himself. He manages to have his people delivering his messages on Fox News on a daily basis. Often multiple times each day.

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

Trump continues to rely on Fox News as his primary outlet for his propaganda, despite Fox having paid a settlement of 3/4 of a billion dollars for having lied repeatedly about the 2020 presidential election. However, he does have other platforms as well, including Newsmax and the One America News Network (OAN), who have their own legal problems with lying to their viewers.

SEE THIS: Newsmax and OAN Added to Smartmatic’s Billion Dollar Lawsuit for Pushing Trump’s ‘Big Lie’

Fulfilling its Trump-fluffing mission, OAN hosted Vice-President JD Vance on The Matt Gaetz Show to discuss recent developments with the Trump administration’s ongoing failure to resolve the Russia/Ukraine war as Trump had promised. And predictably, Vance offered a full-throated defense of Trump’s views, which just happen to be exactly the same as Vladimir Putin’s. The opening question by Gaetz was both biased and leading. But most of all weird…

Gaetz: Sources have told me that Russian president Vladimir Putin has suggested that sanctions relief could result in Russia moving more of their energy commodities in the U.S. dollar, functionally giving the United States a lot of control over U.S. energy markets that could lower energy costs for Americans. Do you see economic cooperation with Russia as one of the things that could bring an end to some of the hostilities that we want to see concluded?
Vance: Absolutely. And it’s one of the carrots that we’ve thrown out there. And the president has been very open with both the Europeans and the Russians that he doesn’t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia except for the continuation of the conflict…Let’s be honest. Whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they’ve got a lot of oil. They’ve got a lot of gas. They’ve got a lot of mineral wealth.

Vance stated that the Trump administration does not seek economic isolation of Russia.

— WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated.bsky.social) 2025-09-10T11:14:03.230Z

REALLY? Vance just justified giving Russia a lucrative economic deal that he said would enrich both Russia and the U.S. And he thinks that’s an appropriate “carrot” for the barbaric invader of Ukraine who has slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent civilians. After all, as Vance says, Trump “doesn’t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia.”

Vance also brought up what he thinks are the issues that are most important to both sides. He said that Russia just wants 6,000 square kilometers more of Ukraine, and that Ukraine only wants security guarantees. Both of those are profoundly shallow assessments of this very complex situation. Russia has been adamant about controlling all of Ukraine, that Putin thinks belongs to Russia. Conversely, Ukraine is determined to maintain their sovereignty.

In Vance’s tiny and twisted imagination, Russia can be persuaded to end their assault by making economic deals with them for energy and natural resources. These are deals wherein Ukraine is left battered and divided and subjugated to Russia. Meanwhile, Russia gets much of Ukraine, lots of money, and a fair chunk of American subservience. The latter is already evident in Trump’s neglect to do anything about Putin’s recent escalation in Ukraine, or his flying drones over Poland.

Virtually every recommendation offered by Vance benefits Russia and harms Ukraine. And he places the blame for the war on both nations, despite the fact that it was Russia that invaded their peaceful neighbor without provocation. So there is one thing that Vance is making abundantly clear: Putin could not have have bought a better advocate than Donald Trump and his lackey, JD Vance.

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Admits Trump Wants to Deploy Troops Only to ‘Democrat-Run’ Cities

Posted by on September 9, 2025 at 1:05 pm. NO Comments :

For several weeks now Donald Trump has been deploying military troops to American cities on a mission that he says is to reduce crime. Never mind that each of the cities that he has already invaded have had declining crime rates before his deployments. And set aside the fact that it is illegal to use U.S. troops against American citizens.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

It has been impossible not to notice that every city that Trump has designated as a destination for his army assignments – Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, Baltimore – all just happen to have Black mayors who are Democrats. What a crazy coincidence, huh?

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Now Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is shedding some light on how Trump chose the cities that he is sending soldiers to. Responding to a question at Tuesday’s White House press briefing about Trump’s domestic military mission and who is being targeted, Leavitt said that…

“These are the career criminals, the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country. And he hopes that more Democrats will call the White House to allow us to help them.”

Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-09T17:50:58.958Z

There’s a lot of bullpucky to unpack in that brief sound bite. For starters, Leavitt is lying that the people being detained and disappeared are “career criminals.” In fact, as many as 70% have no criminal records at all according to the Trump administration’s own data. Many are citizens or green card holders. And most were denied the due process that is guaranteed by the Constitution.

What’s more, it is peculiar that Leavitt says that they are picking up “bad guys” in D.C. every day, when Trump has been saying that he has cut crime 100%. In other words, according to Trump, there is no crime at all in D.C. anymore. So who are they arresting?

THEY JUST CAN'T STOP LYING!Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, keeps posting these memes every day boasting about dozens of arrests in Washington, D.C., even though Trump says that there is ZERO crime there.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-08T17:28:41.536Z

Finally, Leavitt lets on that Trump is actually only interested in occupying cities with Democratic leaders. As noted above, her admission that “The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city” has been obvious. But now she is confirming that it is the official policy of the Trump administration. Why wouldn’t Trump “love” to do this in any of the cities with the most violent crime in red states? Doesn’t he care about the people in Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, or Arkansas? Or is he just laser-focused on going to war with Chicago…

WTHF? Trump is declaring war on…CHICAGO?He posted this on his Truth(less) (Anti)Social today.

GOOD NEWS: Trump is ‘Swimming with the Fishes’ According to the Aggregate of His Dismal Polling

Posted by on September 8, 2025 at 1:21 pm. 2 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House, he has been profoundly despised by the majority of the American people. Virtually every poll taken in the past few months has shown him with pitifully high disapproval ratings that are unmatched by any other modern president, except for Trump in his first term.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

The disgust of the voters is understandable considering his policies that have been explicitly aimed at hurting average Americans, while benefitting the wealthy and corporations. He has cut taxes for the rich, while cutting benefits for everyone else, including Medicare and health insurance. He has exacerbated climate change. He has abandoned our democratic allies around the world. He has imposed tariffs that worsen inflation. And he has deployed the military against us in our own homes.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

The consequences of these wildly unpopular positions has been the rapid decomposition of whatever support Trump had from voters who were concerned about the rising cost of living. And this has not gone unnoticed by CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten. In a segment on Monday morning Enten delivered the good news about Trump’s bad state of affairs…

“Look at the aggregate of the polls and look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative. It has been every day since March 12th in the average of polls. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Donald Trump has been underwater, swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Donald Trump when looking at the aggregate and looking overall. He has been negative for a very long period of time, the vast majority of his second presidency.”

Enten: “Look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative — every day since March 12. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Trump has been under water swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Trump. Look at the issues. Trump is under water on all of them.”

— Vince D. Monroy (@vincedmonroy.bsky.social) 2025-09-08T14:50:11.007Z

In addition to the rock bottom numbers for Trump personally, he is also in desperate condition on all of the most important matters facing the nation. On trade, due to his ridiculous tariffs, Trump is at a negative 17. On the economy he is at a negative 14; On foreign policy he’s down to a negative 12. And the two issues that he most closely aligned himself with, immigration and crime, he’s showing a negative three and two respectively.

There isn’t a positive number in the bunch. But that doesn’t stop him from claiming to have the highest polling numbers ever. Whether that’s just Trump lying again, or it’s a symptom of his severely delusional malignant narcissism, is hard to tell. But it really doesn’t matter. Either way it is harmful to the nation and justification for his involuntary removal from office. And the sooner the better.

The American people have already decided that Trump is unfit for office. They are opposed to his policies. And they are repulsed by his character, or lack thereof. And his refusal to come clean about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein isn’t helping.

Trump’s Border Czar Lies to Fox News that Protesters are Paid and He Will Prosecute the Funders

Posted by on September 7, 2025 at 1:22 pm. NO Comments :

For most of his toxic tenure in the tainted world of Republican politics, Donald Trump has viciously vilified his political foes and openly advocated for their persecution by his legal attack dogs in what used to be called the Department of Justice. Perhaps he will try to rename it the Department of Judgment to go along with his new Department of War.

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

Fox News, Constitution

Already in the first few months of his second occupation of the White House, Trump has directed his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to launch meritless investigations of everyone from Gov. Gavin Newsom, to Sen. Adam Schiff, to New York Attorney General Letitia James, to everyone who served honorably on the House Committee to Investigate January 6th. All driven by his personal animus and hunger for retribution.

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

On Sunday Trump dispatched his Migrant Harassment [and Border] Czar, Tom Homan, to Fox News to unleash another shipload of pure propaganda. The segment began with host Jason Chaffetz lining up a loaded, softball question for Homan…

Chaffetz: So those protesters that we do see, I mean, some of it might be organic, but does strike me, it seems, like a lot of them are being bused in. You see them at the end of these protests, actually getting back on buses. Are these protesters, the bulk of them, are they actually being financed from the outside? And is that something that Homeland’s looking at? Is the financing of how all these so-called organic protests are happening?
Homan: Absolutely. We know a lot of these protesters are being paid. Many have admitted to it. So, yes, there’s a whole effort right now in identifying those who are funding these operations, those who fund the weapons that are being used. So, yeah, and they’ll be held accountable too and held to the highest standards of the law. They will be prosecuted, too.

FOX: Are these protesters actually being financed from the outside, and is that something Homeland is looking at — the financing of how these so-called organic protests are happening?HOMAN: Absolutely … they will be prosecuted too

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-07T14:24:30.204Z

The suggestion by Chaffetz that protesters were “bused in” is intended to imply that they are not genuine protesters, but hired imposters. Like almost everything that Fox News airs, he has no evidence of that. Even if some protesters arrived in buses, it is not uncommon for people to organize transportation to a protest site. Chaffetz went on to ask whether the protesters were “financed from the outside.” Once again, that is a purely speculative commentary with no proof whatsoever.

Homan, however, took the bullpucky baton and ran with it. He affirmed that he will “absolutely” prosecute those who allegedly funded the protests. He claimed to “know a lot of these protesters are being paid.” Never mind that, despite his assertion, he is unable to name a single protester, much less many, who “admitted” to it.

Homan also claims that these mysterious funders were financing protesters with weapons. Which is peculiar, since none of them were found to be carrying any, and none were used during the protests. He is just escalating the accusations to instill more fear of a rich man who actually loves America. And, by the way, if Soros were funding some protesters, it is entirely legal to donate to groups who organize lawful protests. That is until Trump signs an executive order banning it in violation of the Constitution.

On the basis of those thin allegations, Hogan is promising to prosecute unnamed funders whose identities are still unknown. But rest assured it will likely lead to the rabid right’s perennial nemesis, George Soros. Trump himself recently threatened that “Soros should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests.” Which never happened. But that didn’t stop Trump from delivering the ominous warning that he “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

Soros is only guilty of having the audacity to criticize Dear Leader and to allegedly help other American citizens who share those criticisms to exercise their rights “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” You know, like it says in the First Amendment.

Homan is one of Trump’s top generals in his war against democracy and freedom. And his frequent appearances on Fox News are not coincidental. Fox is Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda and Disinformation. And Chaffetz is a high ranking disseminator of Trump’s lies. Here’s a taste of just how nauseatingly adoring and biased he is with regard to his orange messiah…

It's true. Democrats don't love America the way Republicans and Fox News do.Democrats are sincere and patriotic. Not performative and greedy. We don't hug flags. And our leaders don't pretend to care about law and order while committing dozens of felonies and violating the Constitution.

Crybaby Trump Posts a Rambling Rant Begging People to Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on September 5, 2025 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

On Friday morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly report on jobs for August 2025. The numbers were a painfully low 22,000, missing economist’s predictions of 75,000. However, they were consistent with the poor performance that Donald Trump has delivered for each of the past seven months since his reoccupation of the White House.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

This report was prepared after Trump fired the head of the BLS last month because he didn’t like the terrible results reported then. It’s what Trump does whenever he’s not satisfied that government agencies are lavishing sufficient praise on him that he doesn’t deserve.

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

Trump generally responds to this sort of news with wildly incoherent harangues posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion, however, he posted nothing about the report at all. What he did post was a tediously long screed about the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

So Trump was so worried about the potential harm from the abysmal jobs report that he poured more fuel on the Epstein fire that he has been trying desperately to extinguish for several weeks. What follows are a few select excerpts with annotations.

“[Democrats] did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!”
Those are, of course, all things done by Republicans and politically unaffiliated wealthy men. Most notably, Donald Trump himself. Also, many Democrats were calling the release of the Epstein files since way back when he died in prison.

“[Democrats], out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims.”
Which even now, Trump and the GOP are incapable of. To the contrary, he has been disparaging the victims as liars and perpetrators of a hoax.

“Where were they during his very public trials?”
Trump is hallucinating again. Epstein never stood for trial. He agreed to a controversial plea bargain on state charges in 2008 (negotiated with Trump’s current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his former Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta). Then he died before his federal trial on sex trafficking on Trump’s watch in 2019.

“The now dying…Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats.”
The case was revived by Trump’s reelection and his appointment of Bondi and Kash Patel (FBI Director). Trump, Bondi, and Patel were all loud advocates for releasing all of the Epstein files during the 2024 campaign. But they all abandoned that position after taking office. That led to mostly Trump supporters, not Democrats, demanding that they keep their campaign promises.

“[T]he DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress! […] The Department of Justice has done its job, they have given everything requested of them.”
Trump and his Justice Department have twice released thousands of pages of documents that were already public. And even those amount to a tiny percentage (about 3%) of the total, which also includes videos. It is a far cry from “everything requested.”

“This is merely another Democrat HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the others, in order to deflect and distract from the great success of a Republican President.”
Tell that to the victims. Oh, wait. He did. And as for his “great success,” he’s proven that with the latest jobs report, along with his failure to lower the cost of living, end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, or fulfill any of his other promises, except for harassing immigrants and persecuting his political foes.

“It’s time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”
This can be done by Trump simply directing the DoJ to release all of the Epstein files, that he still refuses to do. What is he so afraid of? And his repetitious use of the “hoax” label for everything that he disputes has become cartoonishly comical.

So in his attempt to deflect from how badly he has botched his duty to create jobs for the American people, he has managed to steer attention to Epstein, the subject that he was previously working so hard to deflect from. Now both of these fiascos are uppermost on the minds of the American public. Nice Work, Donnie.

Trump’s Own Attorney General, Pam Bondi, Contradicts His Lie that ‘Crime is Down 100%’ in D.C.

Posted by on September 4, 2025 at 1:11 pm. NO Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump launched his totalitarian military troop deployments to police American citizens in their homes, he has spread flagrant lies about the “success” he’s had in utterly eradicating crime. Never mind that the actual data fails to support his delusional reports, and that crime had already dropped to multiyear lows before he began.

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

Fox News, Pam Bondi

Accurate statistics are anathema to aspiring dictators like Trump who rely on manufacturing fear to keep their faithful cult followers in line. And Trump hasn’t been shy about disseminating lies that cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and New York, and Baltimore, and Los Angeles, are, in Trump’s words “hellholes.”, Also, they all happen to have Black mayors. But it’s surely just a coincidence that he cherry-picked those cities, right?

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

On Thursday Trump expanded on his bullshittery saying that crime in Washington, D.C. had declined 100%. That means that it dropped to zero. At least he didn’t go farther and say it dropped 1,500% like he has with drug prices. But even this statement is preposterous. Along with false assertions that “restaurants were dying. [And] Nobody wanted to go out,” Trump said that…

“If you look at Washington D.C. three weeks ago, it was the same or worse, and now it is considered a totally safe zone. […] Washington D.C. is a totally safe city. You are not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%. Then I said ‘no it’s not. It’s down 100%.'”

Trump: “Washington, DC, is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%, and I said, No, it's not, it's down 100%.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-09-03T16:26:59.280Z

A city would have to have transformed into a fairytale utopia to have eliminated all crime. And no such city exists anywhere but in Trump’s twisted imagination. Well, also in the servile imaginations of Trump’s flunkies. For instance, his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, posted the following meme on Thursday…

Bondi posts a similar meme every day. And she also appears on Fox News almost daily with the same message. Which raises the obvious question: How can there be dozens of arrests every day in a city where Trumps insists there is zero crime? Are they arresting people who are innocent? Are they prosecuting thought crimes? Whatever the explanation, Bondi is contradicting her boss by bragging about all the criminals she has taken off of the streets that he says aren’t there.

For good measure, Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D. C., Jeanine Pirro, is boasting about the same criminal statistics as Bondi.

What’s more, Pirro, who hasn’t practiced law for twenty years, and who Trump recruited from Fox News (like his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, and a couple of dozen others in his administration), is racking up an abysmal record as U.S. Attorney. So far she failed to get a Grand Jury indictment in a case against a woman who allegedly threatened Trump. She also failed to get an indictment of a man who was arrested for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent. Even though it was on video. So much for the old saying about how easy it is to get a Grand Jury indictment because they will indict a ham sandwich.

With Bondi and Pirro daily announcing the crimes they have allegedly stopped, will Trump apologize and admit that he hasn’t totally eliminated crime in D.C. Sure. Right after he apologizes for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll and many other women, And right after he admits that he lost the election in 2020. And right after he actually criticizes his BFF Vladimir Putin. In short, right after he develops a conscience and grows a spine. And here’s a health tip: Don’t hold your breath.

Kristi Noem Unleashes More of the Delusional Hyperbole That is the Hallmark of the Cult of Trump

Posted by on August 31, 2025 at 1:05 pm. 1 Comments :

The Primary Directive of every cult is that only Dear Leader will tell you the truth, and that every else is lying to you. It’s a doctrine that has been fully adopted by Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. In their world all judges are “lunatic radicals,” polls are manipulated. government bureaucrats are “deep state” operatives, opposition politicians are purposefully evil, and the media is, as Stalin said, “the enemy of the people.”

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

Trump Lies

With the Cult of Trump, dishonesty is just the beginning. There is apparently a dictum that also mandates that their lies must be as far removed from reality as possible. Trump and company likely picked this up from Hitler and his Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, who pioneered the doctrine of “The Big Lie.” Trump himself coopted the concept in the book that he lies about having written, “The Art of the Deal,” by paraphrasing it as “truthful hyperbole.” Minus the “truthful” part.

SEE THIS: OMG! Pathological Liar Trump Says He is ‘the Most Honest Human Being God Ever Created’

These principles were affirmed on Sunday morning’s episode of “Face the Nation” where Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, was interviewed. In a discussion about Trump’s authoritarian agenda of deploying military troops in American cities – but only the ones led by Democrats – in order to restore his version of fascist order, Noem made the following preposterous comment…

“I do know that L.A. wouldn’t be standing today if President Trump hadn’t taken action. That city would have burned down if left to the devices of the mayor and the governor of that state.”

Kristi Noem: "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-31T14:37:24.224Z

REALLY? The city of Los Angeles spans over 500 square miles. The demonstrations against Trump’s unwarranted and illegal deployments were centered in a few blocks of the downtown area. And the National Gaurd and Marine troops spent most of their time in their quarters or standing around some federal buildings that weren’t targeted by protesters. Reporting at the time noted that…

“LA County District Attorney Nate Hochman on Wednesday said that protests in the Los Angeles area involve less than 1% of the population and are largely peaceful. […] Hochman said that means 99.99% of residents have done nothing illegal in connection with the demonstrations.”

Noem also claimed that the DHS thugs were only going after “the worst of the worst.” That was also untrue according to the data from Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency:

“The majority of people currently detained by ICE have no criminal convictions. Of those who do, relatively few have been convicted of high-level crimes. […] The latest ICE statistics show that as of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, 41,495 — 71.7% — of whom had no criminal convictions.”

The mammoth scale of the hyperbole coming from Noem is clearly commanded from the top. Trump’s own commentaries routinely include the same sort of monumental lies. For instance…

Trump on Taxes (aka Tariffs): “Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.”

Trump on Court Rulings: “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.”

Trump has an incredibly negative view of America as a pitifully weak nation that could curl up and die at any moment. Either that, or he’s just mad because destroying America is his thing and he doesn’t want someone else horning in.

Of course, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – Fox News – is backing him up all the way. While some people might regard Trump’s relentless dispensing of hyper-hyperbole as evidence of a cognitive decline, Fox News is ready with a defense. And when the question of his mental acuity raised, his name doesn’t even have to be mentioned for his defenders at Fox to step up and deny the dementia that others claim to see…

Dotard Trump Tries to Attack Gov. Wes Moore By Linking to an Article that Actually Praises Him

Posted by on August 28, 2025 at 12:29 pm. NO Comments :

Nothing is more predictable in modern politics than the barrage of belligerence by Donald Trump aimed at his perceived enemies and political foes. It doesn’t take much to set him off, and when it happens it generally results in a typically asinine assault that is brimming with unbridled hostility.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Just such an incident took place on Wednesday when Trump was triggered by…well, god knows what causing him to take some wild swings at Maryland Governor Wes Moore. It may have been due to something Moore said in an interview, or just Trump letting off some of the seething steam that is ever present in his curmudgeonly cranium. He doesn’t really need, or have, a legitimate reason.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

The attack on Gov. Moore was a peculiar little tirade that was something less than coherent. Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that even his most devoted cult followers might have found indecipherable. In a 2:12 AM comment Trump wrote only…

“But is that the end of his political career. He was very disrespectful to the Office of the President!”

That’s it! Trump didn’t bother to give any context to his comment other than a link to an article in The Hill. He didn’t mention whose political career he thinks should be ending or how he was disrespectful. But for anyone who clicked through to the article they would have found a story – that was published a year ago – about Gov. Moore. And for the most part, it was pretty positive. It described Moore as…

“…a rising star in the Democratic Party, served in the Army Reserve between 1996 and 2014. He was deployed to Afghanistan in August 2005 through March 2006. Though he has won multiple awards for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal, he stated on a 2006 application for the White House Fellowship that his service won him the award of a Bronze Star.”

WOW! So Moore is a patriot who served his country honorably, with distinction and courage. And Trump, a five time draft dodger who insults fallen warriors as “suckers” and “losers” has a problem with that?

Apparently what Trump is perturbed about is the Bronze Star matter. But the article went on to offer Moore’s explanation that he was advised to include the Bronze Star commendation in the White House Fellowship application by his commander, who made the recommendation for the medal and assured him that he would receive it. However, the paperwork didn’t go through properly and the commendation didn’t become official at that time.

The general who made the original recommendation didn’t learn about the paperwork snafu until recently, then corrected the mistake and the medal was finally awarded in 2024. So the Army’s acknowledgement of Moore’s heroism was truthful and is now a part of his record. Which Trump likely knows, or should know. As for Moore, he is on record having responded to this matter, noting that the disparagement of patriots has long been a part of the Republican Party’s political attack plan.

“Over the last few weeks, our country has grown used to seeing what it looks like when a veteran’s integrity is attacked for political gain. But those who seek to cast doubt on our records misunderstand something fundamental about true patriots, who have put on the flag of our country and put everything on the line to be called Americans: We don’t get shaken. We put our heads down, and we do the work. And that is what I will continue to do.”

Trump’s dishonest and infantile attack on Moore is consistent with his prior remarks about the Governor. Last week Trump flagrantly lied that Moore had told Trump that he was “the greatest president of my lifetime” when they met at an Army/Navy football game. Anyone with mere common sense and an attachment to reality would have known that that was false.

However, just to put an even finer point on it, a video dug up by Fox News (yeah, Fox News) proves that Trump was lying. And not just about the flattery that never occurred, but also about the accusation that Moore was “very disrespectful to the Office of the President!”?

Trump’s imaginary friend. Fox News airs video proving Trump is a liar. Maryland Governor Wes Moore never said to Trump, “You’re the greatest president of my lifetime” upon meeting him at football game, as Trump claims.

MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

Posted by on August 24, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

TACO Trump Gives Putin Another 2 Weeks – No, Really, 2 Weeks – and He Really Means It This Time

Posted by on August 23, 2025 at 1:18 pm. NO Comments :

Whenever Donald Trump is asked a question that requires him to make a commitment as to when he will achieve a particular goal, he responds with the vague assurance that it will be completed “in two weeks.” That’s the deadline for everything from his still nonexistent healthcare plan, his infrastructure bill, the release of his tax filings, providing the “irrefutable” evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, and so much more.

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

Now we can add to that list Trump’s promise that he will make a decision about what consequences Vladimir Putin will face if he doesn’t agree to a ceasefire in the war that he launched against Ukraine. Not that Trump is ever going to make Putin pay for anything. Trump has still never criticized Putin in any significant way. And with regard to the war, Trump generally blames either President Biden or Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, while always defending his mentor and idol, Putin.

SEE THIS: Trump Admits that He Has Been Protecting Vladimir Putin and Russia From ‘Really Bad Things’

During an Oval Office press avail, Trump was asked whether he had any comment about Russia having bombed an American factory in Ukraine. Rather than expressing the outrage that any rational president would feel, Trump merely said that “I’m not happy about it,” before diverting to bragging about his allegedly having ended ten other wars (he didn’t). Returning the question at hand, Trump said that…

“We’ll see what happens. I think over the next two weeks, we’re going to find out which way it’s going to go. And I better be very happy.”

That’s right. Two weeks. Again. This was already one week after Trump met with Putin in Alaska. Prior to the Alaska summit, Trump gave Putin a 50 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire. Within a few days Trump reduced that to ten days. However, even that deadline passed without any action on Trump’s part.

Then after another round of meetings with Zelenskyy and European Union leaders, Trump has still done nothing and, uncharacteristically, said little. What little he has said has suggested that the impasse is the fault of Zelenskyy for not immediately agreeing to Putin’s terms, which include surrendering parts of Ukraine and foregoing NATO membership. And for that Trump thinks that he deserves a Nobel Peace prize. NBC News reported some additional comments by Trump…

“I’m going to make a decision as to what we do, and it’s going to be, it’s going to be a very important decision, and that’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs, or both. Or do we do nothing and say, ‘It’s your fight.’”

Well, that settles it then. Trump is strongly declaring his intention to do something, or nothing at all. Which perfectly encapsulates Trump’s notoriously wishy-washy approach to diplomacy. Putin will surely be persuaded by this stalwart display of spinelessness. And knowing that Trump has given him only two weeks to respond puts even more pressure on him to comply. Because once that deadline has been reached Trump will be forced to…come up with a new deadline. Because, as we know, Trump Always Chickens Out.
