OH-NO! Fox News is OUTRAGED that Congress is Too Inept to Pass Trump’s Wildly Unpopular Agenda

Posted by on April 1, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

Serving as the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump and his MAGA Cult has got to be an awfully difficult duty these days. That’s the mission that Fox News is struggling to perform as the nation grows ever more repulsed by Trump and his anti-American crusade to transform the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship whose sole purpose is to elevate the power and wealth of Dear Leader Trump.

Trump’s second occupation of the White House has produced nothing but misery for the American people, and chaos for the world. He has wrecked the economy with his inflationary tariffs. He has brought violence to the streets of the nation with his ICE StormTrumpers. He has started an illegal war against Iran on flagrantly false premises. And in the meantime, he has dedicated himself to building vanity ballrooms, plastering his name and face on U.S. institutions and silly merchandise, and wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on petty pastimes like golf and watching MAGA media. Consequently, his approval ratings have been circling the toilet…

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

So what is an ultra partisan propaganda purveyor like Fox News to do under these circumstances? To no one’s surprise they double down on the preposterous positions they have been pushing for years. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t have the same impact when the lies are aimed at fostering a floundering loser who is incapable of forming a coherent thought.

On Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s morning show “Outnumbered,” co-host Kaylee McGhee White sought to prop up Trump by shifting the blame for his failures onto Congress. In a segment discussing a recent Supreme Court ruling that Trump could not continue to build his golden ballroom without the approval of Congress, White whined that…

“The judge emphasized congressional authority. But as a reminder, Congress can’t even pass DHS funding. Congress can’t pass the Save America Act.”

Exactly! White is helpfully confirming that Congress, as it is presently constituted, is incompetent and utterly incapable of performing its designated legislative duties. Under the stewardship of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate GOP leader John Thune, they are the least productive Congress in decades. And they are currently in the midst of a partial shutdown because they can’t pass legislation to fulfill their most basic function, to keep the government open.

What White and her Fox News comrades fail to mention is that this pathetic excuse for a legislative body is wholly run by a Republican majority. So the failures that Fox News is amplifying are entirely due to the inept management of the Republican Party and its Dear Leader Trump.

For his part, Trump is proving that there is no bottom to how low his approval ratings can go. Even a recent Fox News poll found that “nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” He was additionally found to be deeply underwater on virtually every issue, including the economy, inflation, healthcare, foreign policy, and immigration.

No wonder Fox News is trying to deflect responsibility from Trump to anything else. It’s just too bad that they are such bumbling buttkissers that they can’t make a rational argument to absolve their messiah of the guilt he so richly deserves. But if they want to blame Congress, fine. The American people will have something to say about that in November.

Dementia J. Trump Calls the Supreme Court ‘STUPID’ as the Birthright Citizenship Case Begins

Posted by on March 30, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

There are two wars currently raging for the United States. One is the “little excursion” that Donald Trump embarked upon against Iran on phony allegations of nuclear capabilities, and without getting authorization from Congress, as required by law. The other is Trump’s war against democracy here at home, where he is desperately trying to avoid an electoral blowout in the November midterms.

Donald Trump

Trump’s fear of Democrats assuming majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is driving him to plot far more detailed strategies than anything he has done for the Iran conflict. Which isn’t a very high bar, because his plans for Iran are little more than bomb everything, declare victory, then bomb some more anyway. But his fellow Americans that he regards as the nation’s real enemies get much greater attention…

SEE THIS: Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

Trump is justified to be worried about Democrats gaining control of Congress. The list of his impeachable acts is growing by the day. And that isn’t even counting his criminal acts that violate state and federal laws, as well as the Constitution. And the prospect of Democratic victories across the country is as near a certainty as election predictions can get.

So what is Trump doing to defend himself from this approaching political massacre? He is resorting to his typically anti-American tactics of trying to rig elections and suppress turnout. Because he knows that campaigning on his broadly unpopular policies and abysmal record would only result in failure. Consequently, he is embarking on a path to steal the midterms by making it harder, or impossible, to vote. To that end he posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, advocating ways to undermine democracy.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on Birthright Citizenship, Trump thinks calling them "STUPID" will secure their votes.He also criticizes selling American citizenship, which is a policy that he introduced with his $5 million Trump Gold Card.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-30T17:02:29.230Z

Trump’s comment outlines some of his favorite methods of interfering with elections. such as attacking the principle of “Birthright Citizenship” that is enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. The amendment explicitly grants citizenship to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States.” Trump would love to invalidate all of those voters. And he is hoping that the conservative majority on the Supreme court will help him to achieve that goal. However, Trump’s strategy to get the Court to rule in his favor is, to say the least, unique. He wrote that…

“Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more, FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America. It is about the BABIES OF SLAVES! We are the only Country in the World that dignifies this subject with even discussion. Look at the dates of this long ago legislation – THE EXACT END OF THE CIVIL WAR! The World is getting rich selling citizenships to our Country, while at the same time laughing at how STUPID our U.S. Court System has become (TARIFFS!). ‘Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!'”

What a brilliant move by the alleged master deal maker. Insult all of the Justices – six of whom are conservative, including three that he appointed – as too dumb to make correct decisions. And he referenced the recent ruling that declared his inflationary tariffs unconstitutional. Does Trump think that insulting the Justices will secure their votes in his favor?

What’s more, Trump also blasted the notion of paying for citizenship. Which is peculiar because that’s actually a policy that he introduced with an executive order creating his “Trump Gold Card.” For a mere $5 million dollars, anyone can buy American citizenship, including drug traffickers, fraudulent business people, and foreign spies.

Insulting and threatening people as a means of getting them to support him is nothing new for Trump. He did the same thing recently while trying to get his so-called “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) passed in Congress. He threatened his own Republicans saying that “I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST ‘SAVE AMERICA!!!” And he insulted members of both parties over the same issue.

That ought to do it. Who wouldn’t want to vote with Trump after that highly effective method of persuasion? Especially considering how popular he is with the American people right now.

UPDATE: Trump attended part of the Supreme Court hearing on Birthright Citizenship, but ran away when he didn’t like what he was hearing…

Trump’s Cratering Truth Social Stock Reflects the Catastrophe of Everything That Trump Does

Posted by on March 28, 2026 at 1:38 pm. 0 Comments :

According to Donald Trump America is in the “Golden Age.” His starkly delusional misrepresentations of the state of the union paint a fantastical picture of a nation that he says is enjoying record levels of personal wealth. And for himself and his wealthy friends that’s true. However, for everyone else, Trump’s fallacies are a deliberate but futile effort to persuade the American people that they are uncommonly prosperous and happy.

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

Never mind the war that Trump started in Iran. Or his inflationary tariffs. Or his deployment of ICE thugs in U.S. cities. Or his suppression of voting and the free press. Undeterred by reality, Trump insists that he is the real Prince of Peace, and that he has single handedly driven down the costs of groceries, gasoline, housing, healthcare, and every other necessity of life that people are currently struggling to afford. And he expects his glassy-eyed disciples to believe those flagrant lies.

SEE THIS: Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

Emblematic of the financial fiascoes over which Trump presides is his famously failing Truth Social enterprise. The stock for his “Trump Media and Technology Group” (TMTG) has recently sunk to new lows. Almost exactly one year ago Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs that he promised would generate trillions of dollars in GDP growth and eliminate inflation. But not only has that not materialized for the broader economy, his own TMTG stock (Truth Social) has dropped a whopping 68%. In April of 2025 it was trading at about $26.20 per share. As of Friday it’s still a dud at about $8.50.

So what is a plummeting investment scammer to do under these conditions? Well, obviously they are introducing a new layer of corruption to fleece more funds from their feeble flock. Which is why TMTG just announced that…

“Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. plans to issue a new cryptocurrency, which will be distributed among its shareholders. […] The coins won’t represent ownership of DJT shares, and may not be transferable or exchanged for cash.”

This new crypto coin venture joins a wide array of business lines that TMTG is stuffing into its portfolio. They include a nuclear fusion operation, a sports wagering marketplace, and a cryptocurrency treasury that began with a poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which was promptly cut in half from their $118,000 purchase price to its current price of about $67,000.

The opportunity for corruption has been way too compelling for Trump to resist. Consequently, he has used TMTG to enrich himself by having his Department of Homeland Security buy ads on Truth Social to recruit ICE agents. And in a secret deal he took $500 million from Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi for a 49% stake in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. And after all of that, TMTG is now exploring spinning Truth Social off from the parent corporation in an effort to artificially juice the stock price.

These blatantly unsavory business transactions are just the latest examples of the criminal practices that are part and parcel of Trump’s methods of operation. What follows are some of what he has conspired to do in the recent past…

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump
The merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33%, but two weeks later reversed course back to around $12.80. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump
Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then.

Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him
Truth Social’s Artificial Intelligence app is going woke. It is actually telling the truth about Trump and contradicting his flagrant lies on numerous subjects.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Posted by on March 27, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 0 Comments :

Less than a year and a half ago, Donald Trump managed to eke out a narrow victory and return to his occupation of the White House. And it didn’t take long for him to successfully sink the electoral prospects of his blindly obedient MAGA minions in what can now be called the Republican Cult.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump’s agenda of imposing unlawful and inflationary tariffs that increased the cost of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing, to healthcare, and more, were just the beginning of his assault on the American people. He followed that up with deployments of his ICE StormTrumpers in U.S. cities. Then he decided to wage an unprovoked and illegal war against Iran. And all the while disgorging virulent hate speech intended to divide the American people.

SEE THIS: Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

The first year of Trump’s second term could not have been more politically crippling if he had devised it deliberately to destroy the GOP. His approval ratings have broken through the basement floor and are heading toward the Earth’s burning core. And this isn’t the opinion of what he calls the “radical left lunatics” in the mainstream media. Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, just a released a poll that found him floundering.

Fox published their results in an article declaring that “Sour voters say Washington is out of touch.” That headline actually bails Trump out by suggesting that it it isn’t his fault that everything sucks. It’s those “sour” voters. But the rest of the article wasn’t as gentle.

The article began by noting that “Voters are not only dissatisfied with the direction of the country but also pessimistic about the economic outlook.” The poll found that “Nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” Then the article elaborated saying that…

“His worst numbers are on inflation, with a new low of 28% approving […] His 34% approval for the economy is another new low, down 6 points since January and 9 points from a year ago. Other ratings are also well underwater: healthcare (36% approve, 64% disapprove), Iran (36-64), taxes (36-64), foreign policy (38-62), and immigration (44-56).”

Trump is unlikely to be able to improve on any of that between now and the midterm elections in November. One important reason for that is that he isn’t even trying to. To the contrary, he is doubling down on his widely opposed domestic policies by insisting that everything is the best it’s ever been in the history of mankind. And he’s celebrating his war in Iran as a “little excursion” that he says he won in the first hour, three weeks ago. Which begs the question, why is he still fighting, and even escalating, with thousands of troops being deployed to the Middle East, and requests for $200 billion more in funding?

It’s tempting to muse that, with regard to Trump, “When you’ve lost Fox News…” But Trump has never been satisfied with the polling by Fox. He frequently goes on the network to whine about their polls that sometimes put him in a negative light. But Fox News remains his mass media mouthpiece. And polls like these will rarely turn up on the primetime shows that Trump watches. So most of his cult followers will never see these numbers. However, here’s an example that snuck through during a daytime program…

Fox News may be accepting the reality that Trump is a mentally impaired loser whose star is fading. More likely, they realize that their audience is already aware of how dismal their lives are without Fox or Trump trying to persuade them that they are prosperous and happy. In any event, expect Trump to chastise Fox for having the audacity to post these poll results. He will surely regard it as an act of betrayal, and he might even sic his FCC boss on them with impotent threats of revoking their licenses (that don’t exist).

Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

Posted by on March 25, 2026 at 1:57 pm. 1 Comments :

Throughout the past 250 years, America’s presidents have made at least cursory efforts to show that they represent everyone in this great and diverse country. It is their constitutional duty to conduct the nation’s business on behalf of every citizen. The president is not elected to be the leader of one political party.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

Unfortunately, among the traditions that Donald Trump has abandoned is the one that promotes the unity of service that has always been the province of the occupant of the White House. Service, however, is a principle that is foreign to Trump, a malignant narcissist with authoritarian aspirations. Consequently, in order to elevate himself above the majority of the American people, he fiercely denigrates those who he considers to be his political foes.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

With a war raging against Iran, and military assaults on peaceful protesters at home by ICE thugs, and the domestic economy burdening Americans with skyrocketing costs for everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing to healthcare, Trump carved out some of his precious “executive time” – ordinarily reserved for golfing, designing ballrooms, and watching Fox News – to post a flurry of comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

This particular batch of social bitchcraft was focused on those that he regards as “the greatest enemy America has.” And he isn’t talking about his current adversaries in Iran, or America’s longtime nemeses Russia and China. Or even our European allies that Trump has downgraded to virulently hostile. Nope. It’s America’s own Democratic Party and the millions of people who are members of it. What follows are a few of Trump’s hateful harangues with relevant annotations.

“Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail. They broke the already signed Bill.”
For the record, it is Trump and the Republicans who have repeatedly refused to fund TSA and other Homeland Security agencies by voting against legislation offered by Democrats. And the “already signed bill” to which he is referring is his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that isn’t broken at all. It’s just bad policy because the GOP can’t govern competently.

“The Democrats don’t want to make any deal unless Amnesty and Citizenship is given to millions of Criminals who have entered our Country illegally, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes.”
Actually, it is Trump who has literally refused to deal with Democrats, saying that “I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.” And he is making up the preposterous charge that Democrats want amnesty and citizenship for “million of Criminals. Meanwhile, it is Trump himself who has been “convicted of serious crimes” (34 felonies).

“The Radical Left, Country Hating Democrats are trying to create inner chaos to take away from the great military achievement we are having in Iran. They hate seeing us WIN so completely and decisively, but the American public sees what is going on.”
Trump doesn’t need any help from Democrats to “create inner chaos.” That’s his specialty. However, he’s right that “the American public sees what is going on.” Recent polls show that big majorities of the public disapprove of Trump’s war in Iran.

Trump’s vicious animosity toward fellow Americans who happen to disagree with him is an abhorrent diversion from how decent presidents throughout history have behaved. His hatred is directed squarely at patriotic citizens who have the right to their own opinions. And in this case those opinions are shared by most other American citizens. No president who has this much loathing for the people he is supposed to be serving should be tolerated. In the meantime, least we can say that the feeling is mutual…

Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

Posted by on March 23, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The war against Iran that Donald Trump said he won three weeks ago is still raging on. The Strait of Hormuz remains shutdown. Both sides are continuing to launch bombing raids. Trump is still seeking $200 billion more in Pentagon funding. Gas and oil prices are still rising. 2,400 Marines were just to deployed to the Middle East. And all for a war for which Trump has already declared victory.

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

Donald Trump WTF

Trump’s justification for continuing to fight has run the gamut from his lust for a genocidal solution, to his sociopathic desire to just have fun slaughtering people. He couldn’t care less about the welfare of American troops or Iranian civilians. Or for that matter, Americans here at home…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Trump recently pledged that he would escalate his bombing of Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours. But he is already backing off of that pledge with an announcement that he is engaging with Iran to formulate a peace agreement. He posted the following comment on his dedicated, for-profit propaganda platform, Truth Social, Monday morning…

“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.”

Trump offered no evidence of any actual discussions, or with whom they would be held, since he previously claimed to have killed all of their leaders. And Iran is denying that any discussions have taken place. As reported by The Hill…

“A senior Iranian security official on Monday said Tehran is not in talks with President Trump adding that Trump ‘backed down’ from further attacks on energy infrastructure due to pressure from the markets and allies.”

It’s difficult to decide who trust in this situation. Iran is not a particularly reliable source of information. But Trump is arguably even worse. Trump’s claim that he is having “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS” comes in stark contrast to his prior statements regarding negotiations with his fellow Americans in Congress. While he is bragging that he is dealing with the terrorist regime in Iran, he is simultaneously refusing to deal with Democrats here at home…

“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.’ It is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate.”

Trump isn’t making any secret of whose side he is on. And it clearly isn’t the side of America or its people. He actually trusts Iran as a negotiating partner more. And he is happy to deal with the leaders of the country he is at war with, but not the leaders of his domestic political opposition that he maligns as “Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.”

What’s more, Trump’s problem with Democrats is that they won’t agree to his “Voter Suppression Act,” that he has prioritized above everything else, including the war in Iran and the skyrocketing cost of living in the U.S. He is terrified of the likelihood that American voters are going to strip his MAGA Republicans from their congressional majorities in November, and that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes.

To Trump that means that Democrats are the real enemy to America. No, really. He literally said so yesterday…

Trump just literally declared WAR on at least half of the American people.Does he plan to start bombing Democrats? He's already trying to obstruct them from voting. Because he is TERRIFIED and knows that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes when they assume power.

Trump Flunky Tells NBC News that ‘We Should All Have a Little Empathy’ For Poor Crybaby Trump

Posted by on March 22, 2026 at 2:17 pm. 1 Comments :

Throughout the political career of Donald Trump it has been glaringly apparent that the singular focus of his attention is always exclusively on himself. Having been diagnosed unofficially by knowledgeable observers as a malignant narcissist, Trump continues to validate those opinions with virtually every vile and hate-filled public utterance he makes.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

The idolatrous fixation that Trump’s toadies in Congress and the MAGA media have for him would make a fantastic plot for a comic book about a dystopian country with an authoritarian leader. Unfortunately, it makes a horrific theme for a real world scenario wherein a cult leader manages to acquire power and plots to preserve it at all costs.

SEE THIS: Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

This scenario can seen at work in the remarks by Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, on Sunday morning’s episode of Meet the Press. In a discussion about the recent passing of American hero and lifelong patriot, Robert Mueller, host Kristen Welker pressed Bessent on his reaction to a disgusting comment Trump made about Mueller’s death…

Welker: Trump from yesterday, responding to the death of Robert Mueller, he posted this, quote “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen? Someone who is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?
Bessent: [After rambling about the FBI lawfully searching for – and finding – classified materials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort] Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family.
Welker: But to the question of the president’s post – I mean, Robert Mueller didn’t order that raid – Is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?
Bessent: Again, given what has been done to president Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.
Welker: So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with the post saying, “Good. Robert Mueller’s dead”?
Bessent: Again, I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family.

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for POTUS to celebrate the death of Bronze Star recipient?BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what's been done to the president & his familyW: So there's nothing wrong w/post saying, 'Good. Mueller's dead'?B: We should have empathy for the president

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-03-22T14:29:30.099Z

Welker asked a simple question seeking to ascertain Bessents’s opinion as to whether it was appropriate for Trump to dance on the grave of someone that he regarded as political foe. But Bessent was unable to provide an honest answer. He entirely ignored the fact that Mueller was a decorated veteran who served his country honorably, and devoted decades to public service. Instead Bessent diverted to nonsense about the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, that Mueller had nothing to do with.

Bessent preposterously claimed that “it is impossible…to understand what he [Trump] has been through,” and that that somehow justified his repulsive posthumous insult. And worse, Bessent declared that it is Trump who we all should feel sorry for at this time, rather than Mueller and his grieving family.

This is just plain sick. And it is further evidence of the severity of the cult indoctrination that is rampant in MAGA World. They can’t even express sympathy for a deceased American who spent a lifetime serving his country. Unlike Trump who took five phony deferments and got 34 felony convictions.

However, it’s typical of Trump who has nothing but animus toward patriots like Mueller. Trump has said similarly grotesque things about veterans such as senators John McCain and Mark Kelly. He has also insulted several generals who worked for him in his administration, including John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and Mark Milley.

As for disrespecting the dead, Trump said awful things following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Reiner, while not a veteran, directed the military themed movie “A Few Good Men,” and was an advocate for veterans benefits, as well as other issues related to civil rights and democracy. But Trump maligned him as having been killed “due to the anger he caused others through his..TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

This is all further evidence of the diseased mind of Trump – or what’s left of it. He is filled with rage and hatred. And he is incapable of common decency. And yet, his flunkies still seem to think that he is the one deserving of sympathy. Poor baby Trump has suffered so much by enriching himself at the expense of the American people, while viciously attacking his perceived enemies, and even legally persecuting them.

Consequently, no one is likely to be surprised by Trump’s contemptuous incivility. And therefore, no one should be surprised by the incivility directed at him when he finally descends into hell.

SRSLY? Trump Threatens Democrats With ICE Thugs in Airports to Coerce Passage of DHS Funding

Posted by on March 21, 2026 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

For the third time since Donald Trump returned to his vengeance and ego driven occupation of the White House, the nation is mired in a government shutdown orchestrated by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress. And it only took a little over one year to match or exceed the record for duration of a shutdown – twice.

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

Donald Trump Angry

No rational observers are falling for the GOP spin that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. If they were interested – or competent – they could have easily negotiated agreements that avoided the shutdowns, but they preferred to hold the American people hostage, forcing them to suffer skyrocketing health insurance costs, and tolerating violent tactics by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement thugs (ICE). They never really wanted to avoid the shutdowns…

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

The burning issue that Trump and the GOP are fixated on this time around is the passage of funding for ICE in a Homeland Security appropriations bill. Trump and his MAGA toadies refuse to consider common sense proposals to reign in the brutality of his untrained and unqualified ICE agents. They would rather cripple government services that Americans rely on, and force federal employees to miss work or go without pay. And on Saturday morning Trump weighed in with a crackpot comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.”

REALLY? Trump is effectively admitting that the tactics employed by his ICE StormTrumpers are so hostile and dangerous that they are useful as threats to coerce Democrats to obey his authority. But it’s not an especially wise position to take for an agency that already has broad disapproval ratings. Does he think that the American people want to be screened for travel by the same masked thugs who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

What’s more, Trump is regurgitating the right-wing talking points that accuse Democrats of being responsible for the disruptions at airports due to the Republican shutdown. In reality, it is Democrats who have offered proposals to fund the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as well as FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other Homeland Security functions. But Republicans have voted against those proposals – five times so far.

Trump’s comment also suggested that ICE agents at the airport would be able to make the “immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants” Does he think that immigrants are coming in illegally by plane, where there are already checkpoints screening foreign passengers? And in a ridiculous and racist aside he specifies that there will be a “heavy emphasis on those from Somalia.”

Trump’s brazen bullying and threats are unlikely to achieve his goal of convincing Democrats to pass the DHS funding bill without reforms. The “art-of-the-dealer” is proving how pitiful his negotiating skills actually are. He can’t even get all of his Republicans in the Senate to sign on. But this new threat sinks to ever lower depths of depravity. If anything, it will result in an even worse defeat in Congress.

Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

Posted by on March 18, 2026 at 2:35 pm. 0 Comments :

With the 2026 midterm elections rapidly approaching, it is becoming more evident that Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party in Congress are likely to suffer a bitter defeat, losing majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Should that happen Trump would become the lamest of ducks to finish off his remaining two years in the White House.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Consequently, Trump is pulling out all the stops to get Congress to pass his so-called “Save America Act” (aka “Save Trump Act,” aka “Voter Suppression Act”) He has been posting a flurry of desperate comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in the hopes of staving off the inevitable political drubbing that many analysts are predicting.

Among Trump’s online pleadings is one that declares that this bill is a priority that must be passed “at the expense of everything else.” So he is placing it above his war in Iran, the affordability crisis caused by his tariffs, his hunting of immigrants, his vanity ballroom, the Epstein files, and his persecution of the media that he recently accused of “treason.”

On Wednesday morning Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to promote how beloved her Dear Leader Trump is. So she posted a video clip of CNN’s Harry Enten reporting the results of a new poll. The subject of the survey was the approval of Trump by his MAGA followers. Which reached levels that North Korea’s Kim Jong Un could only dream of…

Enten: Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that jump off the screen at you. And this is one of those. Because just take a look here. MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump.”

That’s right! The hive-mind uniformity of the MAGA movement is at peak deification. Not that that is anything to worry about. Because according to a recent Economist/YouGov poll “only 27 percent of all voters described themselves as ‘MAGA supporters’ and a perhaps surprisingly low 54 percent of Trump voters so identified.” So MAGA is a small minority of the general public, and only barely half of the Republican base. Yeah, that’s too many. But it shouldn’t be enough to wield any power, assuming fair elections are held.

Nevertheless, these numbers thrilled Trump’s press liar, Leavitt. So she proudly posted them on her Twitter/X account to pass on what she thinks is great news. However, the only thing that these numbers prove is that MAGA is a more nefarious disseminator of BS propaganda than North Korea.

There is only one way numbers could be that ridiculously homogeneous. And it’s what many people have been saying about MAGA for years: IT’S A CULT! Polling of all voters reveals that Trump is at record lows. Undeterred by reality, the cult’s spokeswoman is actually celebrating the thoroughness of the brainwashing and the unquestioning fealty that membership in the MAGA cult requires.

UPDATE: Trump himself cited the CNN poll and likewise lied about it by pretending that it represented all voters, rather than just his MAGA cult.

IN A PANIC Trump Threatens GOP to Pass His Anti-Voting Act, Because His ‘Reasons’ Are Pure BS

Posted by on March 17, 2026 at 1:35 pm. 2 Comments :

For several weeks Donald Trump has been fixated on passing what he calls the “Save America Act.” He has elevated it to a position of top priority, declaring that it must be passed “at the expense of everything else.” He even declared that he will sign no other legislation until after this bill is passed by Congress and put on his desk for signature.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Trump’s obsession with his Voter Suppression Act is based entirely on his fear that Republicans are going to be brutally beaten in the upcoming midterm elections. He knows that such an electoral defeat would make him even more pathetically impotent than he is currently. And he views any challenge to what he sees as his divine right of MAGA-sty as intolerable and must be prohibited.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In the past week Trump has posted several comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, demanding that his Republican toadies in Congress obey his authority and pass the anti-voting bill. And not because he wants fair elections. To the contrary, he’s been openly pitching that the bill would result in Republicans never losing for the next 50 years.

On Tuesday morning he leveled his most hostile commands to date. In his familiar hyperbolic rage Trump called the bill “one of the most IMPORTANT & CONSEQUENTIAL pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and America itself.” He lied that voting by mail is “rigged” and that “We are the only Country in the World that allows” mail-in voting. At least 30 other countries do. Then he elaborated saying that…

“Only sick, demented, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. If they do, each one of these points, separately, will be used against the user in his/her political campaign for office – A guaranteed loss! […] I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST ‘SAVE AMERICA!!!'”

OMG! Not THAT! Trump is threatening to withhold his precious endorsement from any Republicans who defy his will. It’s notable that he needs to resort to threats, because his powers of persuasion suck. And he has no credible arguments to convince anyone that the bill has real merit.

However, given his current abysmal standings in the polls, his endorsement is what is more likely to result in “a guaranteed loss.” Not to mention the unpopularity of the bill itself. Which is why Republicans in the Senate are leaning against voting for the bill in the first place. For the record, this isn’t the first time Trump has bellowed out this sort of threat. Last week he unleashed this bit of fascist theory wherein he insists that “anybody who votes against The Save America Act should not be allowed to run for public office.”

There is virtually no chance of Trump’s Voter Suppression bill passing in the Senate. It would require 60 votes, and there are only 53 Republican senators. Democrats are united in opposition. So Trump is spinning his wheels with no possible hope for victory. Plus, he will end up having to revoke his endorsement for a few Republicans who vote against the bill. That is if he keeps his word, which is not something he is known for.
