SRSLY? Kari Lake Says Trump Has ‘the Greatest Sense of Humor of Any Modern Day President…Ever’

Posted by on October 4, 2025 at 12:09 pm. 0 Comments :

Perhaps the most important function of a totalitarian regime is its propaganda aimed at casting the leader as a giant among men with superior intellect, infallible instincts, and unshakeable courage. Which explains why Donald Trump’s propagandists work so hard to make people believe that he is a near deity whose power cannot be challenged.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

The tricky part is that they also need Trump to come off as an everyman to whom all of his subjects can relate. And with that in mind his PR team needs to convince the masses that he has a genial personality, some measure of empathy, and a sense of humor. But given Trump’s well known personality disorders, that’s a task with an extraordinarily high degree of difficulty.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

Now That Trump has orchestrated a shutdown of the U.S. government, the blame game has begun in earnest to politically tarnish whichever party is determined to be responsible for it. That shouldn’t be hard considering that Republicans are in control of both houses of Congress and the presidency, and that they have openly celebrated the shutdown as a long hoped for opportunity to cause great damage to the governmental institutions they despise.

Republicans have no rational argument for continuing the shutdown. And they are taking most of the heat from the public for having caused it. Consequently, they have resorted to a campaign of ridiculing Democrats as a substitute for engaging in a cogent debate.

The campaign of mockery includes a noxious and racist fake video, posted by Trump, of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spouting obscenities. And that was supposed to be funny. However, when the public reaction to it was overwhelming disgust, Republicans complained that Democrats just don’t have any sense of humor.

Among those making that charge was Trump’s head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake. She appeared on the right-wing network, Newsmax, with Chris Salcedo to elaborate…

Salcedo: The left is in full collapse. They can’t argue issues anymore. So they argue, “Stop making fun of my stupid policies.” Unreal, isn’t it?
Lake: And they don’t have a sense of humor. That’s funny, no matter how you slice it it’s funny. The memes that have come out of that, and seeing the sombrero everywhere, it just made me laugh.

And if we can’t laugh, my goodness, how do we get through difficult times like we’re seeing right now? I think it’s hilarious. Good for president Trump for having the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen, and keeping us in stitches over everything that he’s been putting out on social media.

WHUT? Lake thinks that Trump has “the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen”? Now THAT is really funny. Trump couldn’t even show up once to the annual White House Correspondents Dinners, where comedians – and the president – get to crack jokes about politics, and sometimes themselves. His idea of a joke is to ridicule the poor, minorities, the disabled, women, and always those on his personal enemies list. He’s just plain cruel.

Lake also thinks that Democrats need to get a sense of humor. Really? Trump and his MAGA minions got Stephen Colbert canceled (but not until next May). They got Jimmy Kimmel thrown off the air (for a few days). Trump celebrated those victories for censorship by declaring that Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers would be next.

Republicans all cheered this muzzling of comedians that was orchestrated by Trump and his fascist regime. And yet, the MAGA GOP is incensed that Democrats don’t find Trump’s flagrant racism funny.

However, there are some significant differences between Trump’s pathetic, allegedly humorous put downs of Jeffries and Schumer, and the Democrats’ response to it. First of all, no Democrat has censored Trump or any other Republican for their lame attempts at comedy. And secondly, the Democrats’ humor is based on the politics and policies of Trump and the GOP, while Trump’s humor is just infantile invectives and bigotry aimed at society’s most vulnerable.

The fact that Lake and other Trumpists actually think that they can sell the preposterous notion that Trump is America’s funniest president is downright hilarious. But there is nothing funny about how Trump & Company malign Democrats and disadvantaged Americans. And laugh so heartily while doing it.

Energy Secretary on Fox News Won’t Deny that Trump’s Cuts are Purposefully Punishing Blue States

Posted by on October 3, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The flagrant hostilities expressed by Donald Trump toward his fellow Americans in the Democratic Party are symptoms of a wholly unprecedented psychosis in an American president. He isn’t merely opposing them politically. He has a visceral hatred for them and regards them as enemies of the state. And “them” I mean all Americans who don’t worship Dear Leader Trump.

Donald Trump

This week Trump posted a meme on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he called Democrats “The Party of Hate, Evil, and Satan.” Which is particularly repulsive following the shooting of conservative activist, Charlie Kirk, when Trump and others in politics are lecturing on the importance of unifying the country and avoiding the sort of hateful rhetoric that could incite violence. Clearly he doesn’t mean that for himself and his MAGA cronies.

SEE THIS: Trump HATES You and Half of America, As He Told MAGA-tists at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Hatefest

Trump is totally ignoring the calls for civility, even from his own party. To the contrary, he is escalating the animus. And not just to deliver insults to his political foes. He is directing his regime to deliberately abuse the power of his office in order to harm Democrats.

For example, his Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, was dispatched to Fox News on Friday where he was asked a direct question about Trump’s obvious efforts to hurt Democrats. And, surprisingly, Wright was briefly challenged by Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: You canceled, I believe, almost $8 billion of energy projects across the country. Most of these projects are in blue states. The Democrats are saying they’re being punished for their politics. So Mr. Secretary, are you punishing the blue states?
Wright: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. Do you and your viewers want to pay $70 million to decarbonize mac and cheese? Do you want to pay to decarbonize Uber Eats in San Francisco, or subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? People don’t want to pay taxpayer money on that.
Varney: You got me with the mac and cheese Mr. Secretary. Great performance on the show today.

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states?CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars … do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia?(That's not a no!)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-03T13:27:54.678Z

Notice that Wright completely dodged the question about whether Trump was “punishing the blue states.” He refused to acknowledge the obvious fact that the only cuts Trump was making was to states that didn’t vote for him. That deliberate – and potentially illegal – partisanship was previously confirmed by Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russell Vought, one of the principal authors of the authoritarian handbook, “Project 2025,” that Trump has embraced.

Russ Vought is a principal author of the authoritarian handbook, "Project 2025," that Trump said he didn't read, but then made Vought his OMB Director.Now Vought says that he's cancelling billions in funds to mitigate the climate crisis, but all in blue states. That's extortion and illegal.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T09:51:25.922Z

On a more substantive note, every initiative that Wright mentioned would actually save taxpayers money. Decarbonizing – or reducing carbon emissions – improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and mitigates the harmful effects of climate change. That includes the cost of healthcare for those adversely impacted.

Likewise, promoting bicycling reduces pollution, traffic congestion, and reliance on public transportation. All of which saves the expenses related to street maintenance and repair, and operating buses and trains.

Wright was praised by Varney for his “performance” during the interview, Which was an appropriating choice of words. Because everything done by the Trump regime is designed as if it were the sort of a pseudo reality TV program with which Trump is so familiar.

However, Trump et al can’t escape the real reality that Trump is abusing his power to hurt his perceived politically enemies. He actually admitted it himself recently in a post on Truth Social saying that he is working with Vought “to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut.”

With that Trump reveals that he is not a president for all the people, but just his MAGA cult. Therefore, he has no business occupying the White House. And the sooner he is removed the better off all Americans will be.

MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

Posted by on October 1, 2025 at 1:39 pm. 0 Comments :

IT’S HERE! The long feared government shutdown has begun. It’s the first one since the last time that Donald Trump was occupying the White House. What does that tell you? And despite all the evidence – including the fact that Republicans control both houses of the legislative branch – Trump and his MAGA cronies are trying desperately to blame it all on Democrats.

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

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

The spin from the GOP is predictably centered on their hateful and racist fixation on immigrants. They are outright lying that Democrats are withholding their votes in order to obtain free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” Never mind that no Democrat is proposing that or even suggesting it as a condition for passage of the budget bill. And Republicans can’t provide any proof of their dishonest claim. Which is typical of the GOP.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares that He Will Not Negotiate with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown, Then Blames Democrats

Surprisingly, on Wednesday morning GOP House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson decided to tell the truth for a change. During an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, Johnson admitted that shutting down the government was a long desired goal of the Republican Party….

Bartiromo: Trump has said that he could use this as an opportunity to further cut government and turn some of those temporary furloughs into permanent job cuts. Speaker, can you assess what you are expecting in terms of the job cuts and how severe they could be?
Johnson: Yes, the president and I talked about this at great length. While, a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we’ve all always wanted to do.

So in a way, Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom to the executive branch under President Trump to do some things that we would not otherwise be able to do because we would never get Democrat votes for them.

Johnson: “While a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we've all always wanted to do.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-01T14:07:33.799Z

And there you have it. Johnson has explicitly stated that the shutdown – and the brutal consequences for the American people – is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.” And he says this even as he acknowledges that it would be “very damaging for real American people.” So clearly he has thought this through.

Johnson went on to praise Russ Vought, a principal author of “Project 2025,” who is now in charge of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, saying that “He gets to decide now what services are essential, what programs and policies should be continued, and which would not be a priority for taxpayers.” It should be comforting to the nation to know that the author of the notorious authoritarian handbook will be making those critical decisions. Although it isn’t any more discomforting than knowing that critical decisions are already being made by Johnson and Trump considering how “unhinged and unwell” Trump is. And Johnson seems to know that too…

WOW, REALLY? In this exchange Mike Johnson…? Doesn't deny that Trump is "unhinged and unwell," just that he thinks some Democrats are too.? Claims he didn't see Trump's deranged speech to an unprecedented gathering of military leaders. Even after it made international news.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T09:33:51.151Z

For his part, Trump has previously expressed his agreement with what Johnson is saying now. “We can do things during the shutdown,” Trump noted gleefully, “that are irreversible and bad for them like cutting vast numbers of people out.” He’s referring to cutting people out of their healthcare programs. And for some reason Trump seems to think that this will only be bad for Democrats. It won’t be long before he finds out that Independents, and even some Republicans, are also going to be hurt – and pissed off.

Wannabe King Trump Threatens New Yorkers to Vote Against Mamdani or Suffer His Wrath

Posted by on September 29, 2025 at 10:38 am. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump isn’t doing much to dispel the notion that he is an aspiring authoritarian who yearns to reign like the dictators he admires, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. To the contrary, he keeps providing additional evidence of his autocratic tendencies, even as he whines about being called a fascist.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

This week Trump directed his “Justice” Department to indict former FBI Director, James Comey, despite having no evidence of any crime. He deployed his StormTrumpers to Portland, Oregon, promising to use “full force” against the American citizens living there. He delivered an absolutely bonkers address at the United Nations where he told other member nations that “your countries are going to hell,” and complained about alleged sabotage of his escalator ride and TelePrompTer. This is not normal behavior for a president – or anyone else.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

On Monday morning Trump upped the ante of presidential idiocy by issuing a threat to the people of New York City. He posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was rife with animus and imaginary invectives. He raged that…

“Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT”

Let’s begin to break this down by noting that Mamdani is not now, nor has ever been, a communist. And he has certainly never self-proclaimed to be one. Trump likely couldn’t define the word if his life depended on it. But he uses it as an all-purpose slur to fear monger his weak willed cult followers. And if he really thought that this “will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party,” he would keep his fat mouth shut. Obviously, he is scared witless of Mamdani and the Democrats in the Empire State.

More to the point, Trump is threating the citizens of New York with unspeakable harm if they choose to exercise their right to vote, but fail to select the candidate of Trump’s choice. His threat violates several federal statutes that prohibit him from abusing the power of his office to intimidate or punish people for how they vote. The Constitution also forbids him from misappropriating funds based on political criteria.

This is just another act of pure totalitarianism for Trump as he tries to interfere with an election by promising to withhold federal funds. Those funds would be used to pay for many critical services in the city and the state, including Medicaid, transportation, infrastructure, safety net services, education, healthcare, and more. He wants all New Yorkers to suffer if they do not obey his electoral demands.

This is a particularly grotesque threat considering that New York is a “donor” state, meaning that it pays more into the federal treasury every year than it gets back. That’s about $89 billion more. And yet, Trump thinks that he can punish New Yorkers by denying them these funds as if they came out of his own pocket. In reality, they come from New Yorkers themselves. Maybe they should withhold those funds from Trump’s regime in Washington.

This should not be considered just a threat toward New York. If Trump thinks he can do this to NYC, then he could try to do it to any city or state that doesn’t bend to his fascist will. And submitting to threats like this will only embolden him and his criminally dictatorial bullying. He cannot be allowed to blackmail voters.

We have a process for choosing representatives in America It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution. But “we the people” do care. And he had better learn that lesson.

Trump’s Lies About FBI Provocateurs on January 6th are Debunked by His Own FBI Chief Kash Patel

Posted by on September 28, 2025 at 11:02 am. 1 Comments :

Four and a half years after Donald Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., where his devoted cult followers stormed the Capitol, assaulted police officers, threatened the lives of members of Congress (and his own vice-president), he is still manufacturing lies to rewrite history, absolve himself of guilt, and blame the victims for his violent attack on American democracy.

Donald Trump Insurrection

This week there were reports published that accused the FBI of inserting undercover agents into the MAGA mob on January 6th to provoke the hostilities encouraged by their Dear Leader Trump. Those reports were published by a notoriously dishonest “news” outlet founded by conspiracy crackpot Glenn Beck. And naturally, Trump latched onto the story to advance his unrelenting litany lies about the horrific event, to demean the law enforcement institutions that he despises, and to exonerate the 1,500+ rioters that he pardoned.

SEE THIS: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump took a bold stance in support of lawlessness and cop beatings. He regurgitated the spurious allegations against the FBI as if they were facts saying that…

“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax.”

What Trump asserts was “just revealed” were unfounded allegations published by the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” And his description of the violent insurrection as “the January 6th Hoax” furthers his dishonest efforts to portray the well documented treason as some sort of myth. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’ I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ‘Agents’ are, and what they were up to on that now ‘Historic” Day.'”

Trump doesn’t bother to specify how Wray’s account of events was “different” or untrue. But Trump does unload some lies of his own, alleging that FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” Trump only wants to know who the falsely accused agents are so that he can continue his crusade of retribution, which was recently escalated with his indictment of former FBI Director, James Comey.

MORE HERE: WOW! Even Fox News Media and Legal Analysts Bash Trump’s Bogus James Comey Indictments

Not surprisingly, Trump was entirely wrong. The agents were not there prior to the violence. Nor were they “acting as Agitators.” And as it turns out, the depths of his departure from reality were exposed by his own FBI director, Kash Patel in a story published by Fox News. No, really…

“The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital.” […]

“‘Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,’ Patel told Fox News Digital. ‘This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.'”

So the truth is that the FBI agents that were there were not “undercover.” And they were only there to attempt to quell the disturbance and prevent further lawlessness. And it’s likely they were sent because Trump was doing absolutely nothing about it (other than watching from the White House with glee). No FBI agents were assigned to, nor participated in, events that contributed to or exacerbated the riots incited by Trump.

That’s according to Kash Patel. Who also says that the deployment of FBI agents in response to the riots was “the failure of a corrupt leadership.” For the record, the leadership of the FBI at the time was Wray, the Trump-appointed director of the Bureau and, of course, Trump himself, who was still president until January 20.

Furthermore, neither Trump nor Patel cited any statements by Wray to Congress that were untruthful. They made ambiguous and baseless statements about Wray’s testimony where he denied any activity by agents that provoked the riots. Which was true. But that didn’t stop Trump and Patel from asserting that some unspecified falsehood was made anyway.

What’s more, in a bizarre twist, the insurrection that Trump has denied took place, or was just a bunch of peaceful, patriotic tourists, he is now admitting was a horrendous breach of the law perpetrated by the FBI over which he presided, and his faithful followers.

This is standard operating procedure for the Trump regime. Make false allegations against your political foes, back them up with stories from partisan rags, and shamelessly disseminate those lies to the media. However, in this case, they failed to coordinate their propaganda, and the result is that Patel is actually contradicting his boss in the White House. Which is an example of another trait of Trump World in addition to its dishonesty: Incompetence. For which, in a painfully ironic way, we should be grateful.

Field Marshall Trump Orders His Secretary of ‘War’ to Use ‘Full Force’ Against Martian Terrorists

Posted by on September 27, 2025 at 11:31 am. 0 Comments :

Okay. You think the headline above is ridiculous? Maybe. But it is no more ridiculous than the actual news that Donald Trump made Saturday morning when he posted a bizarre and troubling comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. And even though he posts bizarre and troubling comments daily, this one sinks to new lows.

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

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

Perhaps a more realistic headline would read “Trump Authorizes Troops to Use ‘Full Force’ Against American Citizens that He Thinks are Members of a Fake Terrorist Group Called Antifa.” But while that is more realistic, it is just as ridiculous precisely because it’s real. And it exposes the depths of Trump’s dangerous and severe derangement. Not that we haven’t seen that before.

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

The comment that Trump posted was a brief, two sentence announcement that he has exercised his duties as Commander-in-Chief to threaten the people of Portland, Oregon, that he says has been “ravaged” by war. He wrote that…

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Let’s break that down for clarity, shall we? Trump began his decree by assigning the instigation of this order to his puppy-killing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. Then, at her urging, he ordered his utterly unqualified Secretary of War (a Cabinet position that doesn’t exist), Pete Hegseth, to dispatch “all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland,” which is neither ravaged, nor engaged in war.

Trump continued to explain that the reason for this military mission is to vanquish the completely fictional Antifa, which is just an ideology that opposes his favorite form of government, fascism. He recently designated Antifa as “domestic terrorists,” which he has no legal authority to do.

Trump closes with the most disturbing part of his harangue. He is “authorizing Full Force” against the residents of Portland, who are, of course, Americans. This is the first time that a “president” has ever suggested the use of deadly military force against American citizens simply because he disagrees with them. This invasion of Portland is on-brand for Trump who hates most of America. His Secretary of Propaganda, Karoline Leavitt, recently admitted that he only wants to deploy troops to Democratic-run cities.

Trump might as well be going into battle against KAOS, under the leadership of Maxwell Smart. His enemies are fake. His response is over-the-top. And this is just the military flank of his war against his political foes. He has already unleashed his legal armies against Democrats and their supporters, threatening to prosecute them for daring to oppose his MAGA-sty. And if he isn’t stopped, we are all potentially next in line.

Trump is preparing to sic his pseudo Justice Department on prominent donors to Democrats (Soros and Hoffman, both coincidentally Jewish?) in order to shut down his political opposition. Like any good fascist would do.

WOW! Even Fox News Media and Legal Analysts Bash Trump’s Bogus James Comey Indictments

Posted by on September 26, 2025 at 1:24 pm. 0 Comments :

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised his supporters that he would be their “retribution.” It was a pledge that he has kept as he steamrolled over his political enemies, the free press, and the Constitution.

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

James Comey, Donald Trump

On Thursday Trump took another step down the path toward totalitarianism with the indictment of former FBI Director, James Comey, for alleged obstruction and lying to Congress. These charges were brought just days after Trump demanded that his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, go after Comey and others. Bondi obediently complied with a pathetic two page indictment that Comey has pledged to fight back against. Which is a smart move since Bondi utterly failed to make a case against Comey.

SEE THIS: More Proof That When You Fight Wannabe Dictator Trump, You Win: NY Times Lawsuit Edition

The Justice Department’s case against Comey is so bad that even Fox News is having trouble defending it. Setting aside their most prominent Trump disciples (Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, Jesse Watters, Fox and Friends, etc.), who blindly slobber over Dear Leader like glassy-eyed groupies, at least two of Fox’s contributors are taking Comey’s side.

Howard Kurtz, Fox’s media analyst, was on the network’s evening “news” program to discuss the matter. And he didn’t mince words, saying that…

“This was completely and totally orchestrated by President Trump. He says he’s leaving it to Justice, but he very much out in the open, remember, he fired his own appointee as U.S. Attorney in that part of Virginia because he didn’t think there was enough evidence to bring this case, brought in a White House aide, his former defense lawyer, whose job was to get this done and apparently that has worked.

“I think we’ve become inured to this, but in previous administrations, any hint of contact with a criminal case would be a scandal on its own. And so, President Trump, by the way, he pulled the strings, has gotten his way with this initial indictment.”

Fox’s Howard Kurtz: “This was completely and totally orchestrated by President Trump”

— The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2025-09-26T03:56:32.141Z

That’s was an excellent summary of events. And coming from Kurtz, who has spent years propping up Trump, it’s particularly notable. But he wasn’t the only Fox News Trumpist slamming the indictments. Fox’s ultra-conservative legal analyst, Andrew McCarty, also weighed in on how ridiculous the Comey indictment is. He told Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, that, “I don’t think there’s a case…it seems to be premised on something that’s not true.”

Andrew McCarthy to Maria Bartiromo on Comey indictment: "I don't think there's a case … it seems to be premised on something that's not true, which is that McCabe said that Comey authorized him to leak to the Wall Street Journal … I don't see how they can make that case."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-26T12:50:48.893Z

Bartiromo responded by trying to broaden the charges against Comey by dragging in Trump’s allegations of the infamous “Russia hoax.” But McCarthy knocks that down by correctly noting that that is not what this case is about. McCarthy informs Bartiromo that the Comey indictment alleges that he authorized a leak to the media by former Deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe. But all of the evidence – including an Inspector General’s report and McCabe’s own testimony – shows that that never happened.

For his part, Trump has been doing his best to tank the case by providing Comey with a defense for vindictive prosecution. To date Trump has proven his seething hatred by firing Comey’s daughter, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. He also fired the U.S. Attorney, Erik Siebert, who concluded that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to indict Comey. Then he hired Lindsey Halligan, his personal lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience, to replace Siebert. With two days on the job she filed the indictment.

Add to that Trump’s rage-posting on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he celebrated the indictment saying “JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey.”

In another posting Trump ranted that “HE LIED!…There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop.” [and that…] “he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start.” [and that…] “a very big price must be paid!”

All of that contributes to a defense for vindictive and/or selective prosecution. It could also be used to dismiss the case as a violation of the Constitution’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments that provide for “the presumption of innocence.”

Trump’s postings babbled on about the alleged lie that Comey purportedly made in testimony before the Senate in 2020. But he never bothers to specify what Comey said that was supposedly untrue. However, in Trump’s defense, that’s only because Trump was making it up and that there wasn’t anything that Comey said that was untrue.

That, however, has never stopped Trump before when he was determined to defame his foes and/or exalt himself. It’s standard operating procedure for Trump and his MAGA cronies. And it is going to fail bigly.

Trump Declares that He Will Not Negotiate with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown, Then Blames Democrats

If there is still anyone who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump yearns to be an unchallengeable totalitarian dictator, he is doing his darnedest to satisfy all doubters as to his authoritarian aspirations. And he’s doing it openly and without a sliver of shame or any pretense of respect for the democratic principles that shaped America.

Donald Trump WTF

With only a week before the U.S. government will shutdown unless Congress passes legislation to keep it open, Trump has demonstrated that he not only has no interest in keeping the government open, he is actively endeavoring to shut it down. To hell with whoever is hurt by it. To Trump, obedience to his MAGA-sty is paramount. And any dissenters will be persecuted.

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

On Tuesday morning trump posted an interminably long and tedious rant to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, whining about the current standoff in Congress. Naturally, it was jam-packed with lies stirred in with his unique brand of bizarre and incoherent babbling. He began with a typically arrogant declaration that set the tone for the rest of his heinous harangue…

“After reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive. They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States.”

And there you have it. Trump has determined that there can be no productive meetings with Democrats, despite not having had a single meeting. In fact, before he even made this determination, he had already told his MAGA cronies in Congress not to negotiate with the Democrats. That’s a certain path toward failure and a shutdown of the government that will be entirely the fault of Trump and the GOP.

Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the legislation to continue to fund the government requires 60 votes in the Senate. Which means it cannot pass without Democratic votes. Yet, Republicans are proposing a short term bill that would just kick the ball down to November 21 (only two months), when their non-negotiating tactics would resume right before Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, Trump is unloading his standard barrage of utterly ridiculous falsehoods intended to malign the Democratic Party. In his posting he listed the following agenda items that he attributed to Democrats…

  • Free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!)
  • Force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors
  • Have dead people on the Medicaid roles
  • Allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits
  • Try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World
  • Allow men to play in women’s sports
  • And essentially create Transgender operations for everybody.

Aside from being profoundly stupid, not a single one of those “policies” has been proposed, drafted, or otherwise advocated by any Democrat in Congress. And none of them are being sought in the current negotiations. The only one that came close to any actual policy favored by Democrats is their effort to renew the Obamacare health insurance subsidies – for citizens. And Republicans are adamantly opposed to that. Without it premiums will skyrocket.

But it’s not as if Trump ever cared about accuracy – or reality. In addition to the above, Trump also yammered in his posting that he “[won] the Presidential Election…IN A HISTORIC LANDSLIDE.” A landslide of precisely 1.5%. He also said that “Few people voted for what [Democrats] represent, which would lead to the destruction of America.” That would be a few equal to 75,000,000. And he closed saying that…

“[Democrats] want our now thriving Country closed. I’ll be happy to meet with them if they agree to the Principles in this Letter.”

In other words, Trump will meet with Democrats when they capitulate to his autocratic demands and abandon any attempt to serve the needs of the American people. That aint gonna happen. He knows it. So he is singularly responsible for the likely shutdown that is coming. But he and his MAGA GOP will try to blame Democrats for the shutdown anyway. He will blame them for not negotiating with him after he refused to negotiate entirely. Will anyone outside of his MAGA cult buy that? Not likely.

Trump, in an Ignorant Rage, Threatens New York For Freely Choosing Mamdani Over His MAGA-STY

Posted by on September 15, 2025 at 12:32 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor Donald Trump. While still grieving over the loss of his friend, ultra-conservative organizer Charlie Kirk, he is soldiering on with his life and his work. Keeping his tee time at his golf club, attending Yankees games, and ordering military occupations of American cities that don’t want or need his “help.”

Donald Trump

From the outset of the shooting, Trump has been baselessly blaming Kirk’s death on “radical left lunatics” who he says ““want to destroy America.” Rather than seeking to unite the nation, he is purposefully pouring gasoline on an already volatile conflagration of hatred that he and his MAGA-ites have been fueling for years.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

The dangerous defamation that Trump is disseminating continued on Monday with his posting of a missive on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He complained about New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul endorsing Rep. Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City. Trump lashed out babbling that…

“Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘Liddle’ Communist,’ Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad! President DJT”

Why Trump thinks that it’s “shocking” for a democratic governor to endorse a fellow democrat can only be explained by his rapidly deteriorating mental acuity. However, it is not the least bit shocking that Trump has once again lied about Mamdani’s political affiliation. He is not now, nor has he ever been, a communist. Although, in Trump’s defense, due to his inbred ignorance, he surely has no idea how to define the term.

What’s worse is Trump’s threat to withhold federal funds from New York if the voters there choose Mamdani to lead their city. It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution.

Trump’s threat promises to punish everyone in New York simply because they have the audacity to vote independently for the candidate of their choice. In Trump’s mind that is sacrilege. He cannot grasp how they could refuse to obey his MAGA-sty. It is yet another demonstration of his open aspirations to reign as a king, beholden to no one and to no law. Which makes the statement that Hochul made in her endorsement all the more relevant. In her support for Mamdani she said that…

“In light of the abhorrent and destructive policies coming out of Washington every day, I needed to know the next mayor will not be someone who would surrender one inch to President Trump,”

That’s a message that every elected official in America – and every American – must take to heart if the democracy that this nation has practiced for 250 years is to endure. And every day it becomes clearer that in order to preserve our freedom, Trump must go. 8647!

The Charlie Kirk Canonizers Cherish Free Speech So Much They Will Prohibit Anyone From Using It

Posted by on September 14, 2025 at 12:56 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the horrific shooting of ultra-conservative activist and organizer, Charlie Kirk, perhaps the most notable response from right-wing adherents to the MAGA cult of Donald Trump has been their fierce aversion to free speech and political independence.

Donald Trump, Censorship

It isn’t enough for the Kirkians to solemnly honor the memory of the provocateur that they followed. They have a gnawing compulsion to elevate him to sainthood and decree any dissent to be unholy sacrilege. Not surprisingly, Trump himself is leading the charge of this emerging army of true believers. And praise for Kirk has devolved into a seething animosity toward his critics.

SEE THIS: Trump Delivers a Despicable Diatribe Demonizing Democrats Following the Shooting of Charlie Kirk

Disrespect for the departed is not something that civil people should engage in. But Trump has pledged to abuse the power of his office to retaliate against the infidels who seek to blaspheme their newly minted martyr. In his recent White House sermon he made it clear that dissent is verboten, saying that…

“My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it.”

This is the same language used by the rest of the Kirkian flock who are so adamantly exalting him as a bastion of free and open dialogue. They apparently revere free speech so much that they believe it must be preserved in glass to keep it from being used by the unclean masses who would tarnish it. That sentiment is now being dispensed broadly throughout the MAGA-Sphere. For instance…

Sen. Katie Britt: “The rhetoric that led us to this moment, calling President Trump a fascist, calling him Hitler, you have news organizations and mainstream media celebrating that. Allowing those things to take place and be said on their networks. That is dangerous. […] Britt: If you are out there and you are celebrating the political assassination of a man who was exercising his free speech … you should be held accountable. You should be fired.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “Hegseth has told his staff to identify any members of the military who have mocked or condoned the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk so that they can be punished.”

GOP Rep. Clay Higgins: “I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk. […] I’m also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals.”

That’s just a sampling of what is circling the drain in MAGAVille. And it is already having a real world impact. NPR found that “Over thirty people across the country have been fired, put on leave, investigated or faced calls to resign because of social media posts criticizing Charlie Kirk.”

The Kirk defenders might wonder why anyone would say anything untoward about their fallen hero. Well, the folks at Zeteo helpfully published an article of “Charlie Kirk in His Own Words.” It contains “17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed.”

It is impossible to ignore the hypocrisy of those condemning liberals and other left of center citizens for using harsh language. They are hardly innocent in that regard themselves. And that goes double for the Trump regime that regularly maligns Democrats as a “domestic extremist organization,” calling them “radical left lunatics, Marxists, communists,” and “enemies of the people,” who “hate God,” and “want to destroy America.”

However, it also impossible to dismiss the fact that most political violence is committed by far right extremists. That was confirmed in a study by the National Institute of Justice, an agency within the Department of Justice. Interestingly, the DoJ removed that study from its website this week, just as interest in the subject has been growing.

Despite the right’s bellowing for retribution and the banishment from society of lefties who are mean to righties, they have a completely different standard for their own vicious vilifiers. This week the Fox News co-host of Fox and Friends, Brian Kilmeade, proposed “lethal injection” to kill all of the homeless in America. He offered a weak apology a few days later, but there has been no call from the right for Fox to fire or otherwise punish him.

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News made a pathetically weak apology for his "callous remark" calling to murder the homeless.And that's it? The right has been feverishly demanding that anyone who said anything mean about Republicans be fired or worse. But Kilmeade gets a pass after proposing mass murder?

This tells you all you need to know about the right’s feigned concern about harsh rhetoric. In the words of their Dear Leader Trump, they “couldn’t care less.” They are merely exploiting a tragedy to advance their craven political agenda. Which for them is just business as usual.
