MAGA Mike Johnson Inadvertently Gives a Master Class on the Mental Incapacity of Donald Trump

Posted by on October 28, 2025 at 2:31 pm. 0 Comments :

When the Republican Party chose Mike Johnson as their leader, and subsequently House Speaker, it was a desperation move following the crash of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the failure of any other Republican to garner enough votes for the job.

Donald Trump

McCarthy was booted from the post because he agreed to a Continuing Resolution that passed with Democratic support. Then the GOP took three weeks to select Johnson after running through such losers as Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer. So naturally, Johnson is scared witless of actually doing his job, which requires negotiating with Democrats. The result is that he’s living down to the low expectations people had of him from the start.

SEE THIS: OH NO! MAGA Mouthpiece Mike Johnson Declares that it’s ‘The End of the Democratic Party’

During his morning press briefing on Tuesday, Johnson sought to manufacture yet another fallacious “scandal” to deflect from his incompetent “leadership.” He told the assembled media about a report just released by the GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee that contained nothing but fiction about President Biden and the pardons he issued. Johnson ranted that…

“Oversight chairman James Comer released a blockbuster report on the ‘Biden Autopen Presidency.’ And this report includes 47 hours worth of transcripts and testimony revealing that every executive action signed by the autopen without written authorization should be voided…Including all the pardons that he signed.”

Mike Johnson: "Every executive action signed by the autopen without written authorization should be voided … including all the pardons that he signed."

For the record, there was nothing in the report that remotely resembled evidence of anything untoward by Biden. It was full of biased and baseless conjecture provided other Republicans. Which won’t surprise anyone who is familiar with Comer’s prior work as Oversight chair, wherein he utterly failed to find any wrongdoing by the Biden family or any other Democrat that he targeted for persecution.

However, the report’s release was enough for Johnson to launch a bizarre assault on Biden and his mental acuity while in the White House. Johnson unloaded the following certifiable nonsense…

“Nothing this incredible and insane has happened before. This is not something that the forefathers anticipated. It’s unprecedented. There is no legal precedent. No previous president had an autopen, or had the audacity to have people signing things on their behalf when they didn’t even know what was in it…The President was checked out of his job for quite some time, and everybody knows it.” […]

“[Biden] pardoned categories of violent criminals and turned them out on the streets. He didn’t even know what the categories were, apparently, much less the individual people that he pardoned. They’re invalid on their face. I would love to take this case and go into the court and make that way to set the precedent. You can’t allow a president to check out and have unelected, faceless people making massive decisions for the country.

Mike Johnson claims that Biden's pardons are "invalid on their face. I used to be a constitutional litigator. I would love to take this case and go into the court and make that way to set the precedent. You can't allow a president to check out and have unelected people making massive decisions."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-28T14:44:36.829Z

First of all, Johnson’s claim that “No previous president had an autopen,” is spectacularly deranged. Autopens have been in use by presidents since the 1950s. But more to the point, Johnson is flagrantly lying about Biden’s use of the autopen. Johnson has no proof that any executive action or pardon was signed by Biden, with or without an autopen, that he was unfamiliar with. Johnson is just blindly insulting Biden because that’s what infantile, desperate Republicans do.

Ironically, virtually everything that Johnson accused Biden of was actually true for Johnson’s Dear Leader Trump. And there is evidence of it as well. There is abundant video of Trump signing executive orders where he needs to have the order explained to him before he signs it. And certainly Trump had no idea who the 1,500 rioters were that he pardoned for their participation in the January 6th insurrection that he incited. They included many who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers as they stormed the Capitol.

Talk about being “checked out.” Trump’s obsession with windmills, and showers, and strong men who cry and call him sir, is patently demented. The funny thing about Johnson’s comments about Biden is that they fit Trump so perfectly. It is Trump who is dangling by a thread of sanity. And the folks at The Meidas Touch put together a short video that really drives the point home.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…This would be the most honest speech Mike Johnson ever gave – – – If he actually gave it. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

OH NO! MAGA Mouthpiece Mike Johnson Declares that it’s ‘The End of the Democratic Party’

Posted by on October 27, 2025 at 2:54 pm. 0 Comments :

The Donald Trump Shutdown of the United States government is approaching a new milestone as it nears a month of failing to accomplish a core responsibility of governing. It is nearing the record for a shutdown (35 days) that was set by Trump during his first term. Throughout this time Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress have desperately sought to shift the blame to their Democratic colleagues who are are in the minority.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Leading the crusade of disinformation is the GOP Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who has single handedly closed the House of Representatives even though there is no reason that the House can’t be in session and get critical work done while federal government agencies are shuttered. The Senate is open for business. But Johnson doesn’t really want the shutdown to end for political reasons, and he has said so explicitly…

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

What’s more, Johnson is also exploiting the shutdown in order to avoid swearing in newly elected Democratic representative Adelita Grijalva, who would provide the final signature necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files that Trump is so terrified of becoming public.

Consequently, Johnson is pulling out all the stops to protect the Epstein pedophiles, including Trump, and to spread the most vile slander about Democrats that can muster. A couple of weeks ago Johnson was attacking Democrats, and millions of Americans who participated in the “No Kings” demonstrations, as “terrorists.” But now he is maniacally upping the ante by announcing the total demise of the Democratic Party. In a Monday morning press briefing, Johnson railed that…

“What we’re witnessing is truly the end of the Democratic Party as we’ve known it. And even some Democrats are saying that out loud. You can see it in their interviews. I watched one last night.

“All of this is directly related to the Democrats’ shutdown show. Why? Because just like they decided to save their own skin, that they had to endorse the Marxist Mamdani in an unprecedented move, they have also decided that they had to shutdown the government in an unprecedented move, no matter the pain that inflicts on the hard working American people. They are simply more afraid of the Marxists in their party than they are of voters.”

There’s a surprising quantity of flat out idiocy in that brief oratory. Let’s begin with the fact that the Democratic Party is very much alive. In fact, it is polling better than Republicans, particularly on the shutdown, with 45% blaming the Republicans and only 39% pointing to the Democrats. And while Johnson claims that he has seen Democrats saying their party is dead, he doesn’t name names. But that’s only because he’s lying.

Johnson went on to malign the leading candidate for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, as a Marxist. Which is another lie that he and his fellow GOP Republicans are chanting in lockstep unison like good little fascists.

Finally, Johnson perpetuates the lie that Democrats are responsible for the pain being inflicted on the American people by the shutdown that has been orchestrated by Republicans. They are the majority party in both the House and the Senate. Their party leader is occupying the White House. It is their responsibility to negotiate a bipartisan deal that serves the best interests of all Americans.

Johnson, however, won’t consider doing that because he is the one who is more afraid of Dear Leader than of the voters. Johnson, in the fashion of history’s most notorious political servants to dictators, has completely abdicated his role as Speaker of the House to his master, Donald the Trump. And to make his humiliation even more pronounced, Johnson posted a video of President Obama blasting Republicans for shutting down the government during his term. But Johnson doesn’t realize that Obama’s arguments are even more damning now to today’s Republicans…

WHUT? Trump’s Treasury Secretary Says a $40 Billion Bailout of Argentina is…’America First’?

Posted by on October 26, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 0 Comments :

From the beginning of his political career, Donald Trump has been chanting the slogan “America First!” that he lifted from an early 1900s movement that was associated with anti-Semitism, fascism, and a campaign to prevent the United States from getting involved in World War II and the fight against Hitler and the Nazis.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s adoption (aka theft) of the phrase was, therefore, consistent with its historical context. And he used it for much the same purpose. Which was to rile up bigoted nationalists and to foment hatred for anyone not belonging to the white, Christian majority in the U.S. It was less a call for national pride than an alarm warning of foreign usurpers. No less a conservative icon than former Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell sounded that alarm…

SEE THIS: Antifa Mitch McConnell Warns that Trump 2.0 and ‘America First’ are Like the Third Reich

On Sunday morning Trump’s Treason …er… Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, sought to add a new wrinkle to the definition of what“America First” means. During an interview on NBC with Kirsten Welker, Bessent was asked about Trump’s recent $40 billion gift to his pal Javier Milei, the current totalitarian leader of Argentina…

Welker: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, I’ll read a little bit of what she wrote. She says “Americans are getting decimated with high cost of living and skyrocketing insurance costs. Many of them have zero savings and some are maxing out credit cards to survive. Tell me how it’s America First to bailout a foreign country with $20 or even $40 BILLION taxpayer dollars.” How is this move America First, Mr. Secretary?
Bessent: Well, Kristen, it is America First because we are supporting a U.S. ally…and we want to set the tone in Latin America. Because look at what’s going on in Venezuela.

Scott Bessent on the $20 billion bailout of Argentina: "It is America First because we are supporting a U.S. ally."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-26T16:24:45.058Z

That’s a remarkably long stretch for Bessent to call a $40 billion bailout for the economic basket case, Argentina, an “America First” expenditure. There is no evident benefit for America, other than for the wealthy Americans, including Bessent, who have investments in the country. Even giving Bessent the benefit of a doubt, it would mean that similar bailouts for many other countries in Latin America would also be warranted. But Trump isn’t proposing any of that.

What’s more, there really are foreign interests whose welfare is actually critical to the national security of the United States. At the top of that list would be Ukraine, who is fighting for both their own sovereignty and the independence of every other European nation and NATO ally in the region. But Trump doesn’t seem to care about any of them.

Trump’s actual policies are anything but “America First.” His tariffs are burdensome taxes on the American people. His threats of aggression against everyone from Canada, to Greenland, to Panama, to Venezuela, are hardly beneficial to the U.S. His efforts to undermine healthcare will leave millions of Americans uninsured and at risk for serious illness or death. His cuts to federal programs that help America’s middle and lower income families are already causing great pain. His domestic military invasions of U.S. cities put fear into the hearts of migrants and citizens alike. And his suppression of the media that he calls “the enemy of the people” puts dangerous propaganda first.

How is any of that “America First”? How is it anything but Trump first? And how does it dispel the talk of his having authoritarian aspirations that only put him and his wealthy comrades first? Short answer: It doesn’t. Nor does it help Trump and his cronies who get so upset when people call them fascists. What else would you call them? Their own slogan hails from the same anti-American philosophy.

FINALLY: We Now Have Trump’s Health Care Plan – But It’s More of a Wealth Care Plan for the Rich

Posted by on October 25, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 0 Comments :

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. And for the fifteen years since, Republicans have sworn to repeal and replace it. Naturally, Donald Trump has embraced their anti-health agenda and joins in their complaints that Obamacare is a failing, socialist program. Never mind the fact that majorities of the American people approve of it and favor its continuation and expansion. Including majorities of Trump supporters.

Donald Trump

In addition to the GOP’s fierce opposition to Obamacare, they have spent the past fifteen years promising to reveal their own healthcare plan that they insist would be much better and less expensive. But apparently fifteen years have not been enough for them to actually produce their promised alternative. And while their failure to offer any plan of their own drags on, Trump and Republicans simultaneously persist in their efforts to push millions of Americans off of the plans they have now. Sometimes for preposterous reasons.

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

On Friday Mehmet Oz, Trump’s Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was interviewed on Fox News by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. In the course of their discussion “doctor” Oz provided some rare insight into the Healthcare plan that Trump and the MAGA GOP have in mind…

Dr Oz: What the healthcare system should do is not just pay the bills. We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That’s the goal of the health system.
Bartiromo: And that’s what you’ve been a champion of for years.

? Getting America back to work? Getting you to work longer? Build trillions of dollars of value to the GDPThat's what Trump flunky "Doctor" Oz thinks is the goal of America's health system. It's all about money and serving the aristocracy. Is that your goal in being healthy?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-24T16:49:12.949Z

And there you have it. According to a top official in Trump’s Health and Human Services Department, their priorities are “Getting America back to work…getting you to work longer…and build[ing] trillions of dollars of value to the GDP” (Gross Domestic Product). And you thought that healthcare policy had something to do with having access to doctors for yourself and your family, coverage for medical treatment and supplies, preventing illness and death, and general quality of life? What were you thinking?

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Oz, who Trump recruited from Fox News, would articulate this warped version of healthcare. After all, he is a well known quack who has advocated phony remedies and dangerous practices. During the COVID pandemic, Oz “promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25 Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.” And “In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause.” Would those increased deaths be worth it if it were your children?

The revelation by Oz that Trump’s goal for healthcare is to boost the GDP is consistent with pretty much everything else we know about Trump, the most transactional “president” in American history. He has always been about the grift and enriching himself and his rich friends. I can’t wait to see the details of how filling the workforce with all of our newly healthy, and older, citizens will juice the bottom line of American businesses.

Is Trump’s Secretary of ‘War’ Outlining Plans to Deploy the Military to Steal the Next Election?

Posted by on October 24, 2025 at 12:44 pm. 0 Comments :

In case anyone is still unconvinced that Donald Trump is plotting to make himself America’s first dictator, some comments made by his Secretary of “War” (a fake Cabinet post), Pete Hegseth, ought to clear it all up. That’s if Trump’s authoritarian moves to invade American cities, illegally impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners, prosecute (persecute) his political foes, ignore judicial rulings, and suppress the media, haven’t already done the trick.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Trump has demonstrated that he has no respect whatsoever for the United States Constitution or the principles it has represented for more than two centuries. And that disrespect is being parroted by Hegseth, whose recent edicts banishing the free press from the Pentagon are only the beginning of the Trump regime’s crusade to undermine democracy.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Secretary of War on the Press, Pete Hegseth, Is Rebuked By the Media He’s Trying to Censor

On Friday Hegseth joined Trump for a press avail at the White House where he engaged in the following exchange with a reporter…

Question: A memo circulating on social media details the establishment of a National Guard Response Force that’s going to be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April of 2026. Can you verify the authenticity of that memo, and do you have any more information on the operation?
Hegseth: I’m not going to answer particulars on something that may be in the planning process. But we definitely do have multiple layers of National Guard response forces in each state…and we will [deploy them] when necessary.”

What Trump's Secretary of "War," Pete Hegseth, is not denying is the Trump regime's plans to undermine democracy in upcoming elections.The military has no legal role in domestic crowd control or civil unrest. Unless they intend to be propping up a wannabe king. #NoKings!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-24T09:58:56.336Z

It is impossible to ignore the fact that Hegseth did not disavow the report about the ominously named “National Guard Response Force.” To the contrary, he confirmed that it “definitely” exists. What possible reason could Trump and Hegseth have for forming such a force? It has never existed before. And the timing puts it smack in the middle of the 2026 election season.

It is not much of a stretch to speculate that Trump has tasked Hegseth with leading a mission to obstruct the will of the people should they vote to remove Republicans as the majority party in Congress. Many polls currently show that Democrats have a good chance of prevailing in both the House and the Senate. And wannabe king Trump simply can’t allow that to happen.

On January 6, 2021, Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to hold on to power after President Biden beat him. Trump later pardoned the 1,500 rioters, making them available for future violent uprisings, and reassuring them and others that they would be similarly protected should they riot again.

More recently, GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has been stubbornly refusing to swear in a newly elected Democratic representative. Many people are accusing him of trying avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files. That’s possible. But another possibility is that he is testing his ability to block Democrats from taking control of the House if they win a majority next November.

Hegseth’s admission that he is ready to deploy a military force in all 50 states if “necessary” should trouble every patriotic American. We should all seek clarification as to what he means by “necessary.” But more importantly, every American must resist any attempts by Hegseth, Trump, or the rest of the MAGA regime, to steal our votes and deprive us of our democratic free will. This is not a drill!

Trump Brags that He Approved Disaster Aid, But Only for Red State Governors Who Support Him

Posted by on October 23, 2025 at 1:44 pm. 0 Comments :

Nine months into the reoccupation of the White House by Donald Trump, the nation is facing a slew of crises that will subject the American people to enduring harm and suffering. They include Trump’s gross mismanagement of the economy by the imposition of inflationary tariffs; his dismantling of federal agencies that serve critical needs of the people; and his military invasions of American cities to harass migrants and intimidate citizens.

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

Donald Trump

Also topping the list of catastrophes for which Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress are responsible, is the shutdown of the federal government that, at 22 days, is currently the second longest such shutdown in U.S. history. For the record, Trump holds the number one spot at 35 days during his first term. And he appears to be determined to break his own record.

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

In the meantime, various regions of the country are grappling with the sort of natural disasters that commonly occur due to storms, drought, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. In the past the federal government deployed its resources via the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to mitigate the harm and provide for a rapid recovery.

However, the Trump regime has blown FEMA apart in its crusade to dismantle all remnants of the federal bureaucracy that they regard as wasteful and corrupt. And in its place Trump is exercising his own prerogatives to distribute taxpayer funds as if they came from his personal piggy bank.

Consequently, Trump posted several comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he bragged about some disbursements of aid funds to states that have experienced recent painful acts of God. However, his political biases in how those funds are disbursed is glaringly evident.

In the posts listed below, note that each monetary grant went to a governor of a red state who supported Trump. And in each comment Trump makes sure to mention that the state receiving the grant had voted for him.

  • “I spoke with Governor Kelly Armstrong, and informed him of my approval of $3 Million Dollars to…North Dakota, which I won THREE times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
  • “I just informed Governor Mike Dunleavy that, based on his request, I am approving $25 Million Dollars to help Alaska…which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
  • “I just finished speaking with Governor Jim Pillen, of the Great State of Nebraska, and told him that I have approved $15 Million Dollars for…Nebraska.”
  • “I just spoke with Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Great State of Missouri, and told him that I am approving $2.5 Million Dollars…I won “The Show Me State” three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”

That is not the way that federal funds are supposed to be allocated. The president is expected to serve the needs of all the people, not just those who voted for him. But such ethical constraints have never been a part of Trump’s character, or lack thereof.

It’s notable that Trump also approved aid for North Carolina and Wisconsin, but didn’t bother to boast about those states that have Democratic governors. What’s more, he has not approved aid for recent disasters in Democratic strongholds, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It’s also notable that the total amount of aid for the states above – $45.5 million – is substantially less than what he is giving to to his dictator pal in Argentina – $40 billion.

That is typical of Trump who has long carried out a policy of retribution against his political foes, even threatening them with prosecution and incarceration. It goes back to his early rally chants aimed at Hillary Clinton to “Lock her up,” and continues today in his threats directed at Democratic leaders such as Sen. Adam Schiff, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and these defenders of democracy…

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Jail Chicago Governor and Mayor in Another Step Toward Fascist Dictatorship

This is just further proof that Trump couldn’t care less about the American people. He only cares about preserving and expanding his power. And if he has to reward and/or punish people or states based on their fealty to him in order to maintain control, he has neither the morality nor the shame to resist that narcissistic compulsion. Which only makes the need for him to be removed from office ASAP more imperative. 8647!

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

Posted by on October 19, 2025 at 2:12 pm. 1 Comments :

On October 18, 2025, the American people came out in record numbers to oppose the emerging authoritarian dictatorship of Donald Trump. It was the biggest nationwide protest in the history of the United States. And it affirmed the determination of the people to defend democracy and the constitutional principles upon which the country was founded.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

The “No Kings” rallies held in more than 2,700 communities throughout the nation were also a peaceful exhibition of free speech by patriots that Trump’s cult operatives (i.e. Karoline Leavitt and Mike Johnson) and MAGA media (i.e. Fox News and Newsmax) called terrorists, criminals, and members of the imaginary Antifa organization.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

The day after the No Kings rallies, October 19, 2025, Trump sought to shovel his way out of the ditch he had dug himself into. So naturally he booked an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. They managed to avoid the subject of the massively successful protests the day before, and the GOP’s pathetic attempts to malign them.

Instead, Bartiromo asked Trump about his shutdown of the government that he is trying blame on Democrats. Bartiromo began by asking a surprisingly rational question question. Unfortunately, she didn’t get a remotely rational reply.

Bartiromo: You’re gonna have to compromise around something with healthcare subsidies to end this thing?
Trump: I don’t know. Here’s the problem. They wanna give $1.5 [trillion] … They have a deal. We have a deal. We just want an extension. And the reason we want an extension is because you can’t make a deal with these people. They’re lunatics. They’ve gone crazy. They’re crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome. There really is that disease. At first I found it to be amusing. Now I find that it really is.

Trump on the Democrats: "You can't make a deal with these people. They're lunatics. They've gone crazy. They're crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-19T15:40:40.392Z

Ironically, the guy who pretends to have written a book titled “The Art of the Deal,” is incapable of actually making one. The extension he’s referring to is one that would allow healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans to expire, doubling or tripling their premiums. And the reason Trump gives for failing to reach a deal is that the Democrats are “lunatics.” Never mind that it is Trump who has refused to negotiate, and his minions in Congress who explicitly admitted that the shutdown is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.”

In the same interview, Trump embraced a never ending shutdown saying that “I think that they could just stay out forever.” And he salivated at the prospect of terminating programs that benefit poor Americans, saying that the shutdown “gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted…welfare programs, etc.” It doesn’t. At least no legally.

Trump is bragging that he is going to cut programs that help poor Americans. Which he can't do legally.He is happy to be hurting millions of low income Americans – including Republicans – and is admitting that it is Democrats who really care about the people.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-19T17:38:27.707Z

Trump’s references to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” actually have a ring of truth to them. He surely does suffer from an acute mental illness that affects his ability to grasp reality. Particularly the reality of how unpopular he and his agenda are. A recent poll found that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

MORE HERE: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

However, if you are looking for a demonstration of how Trump really feels about the American people, look no further than his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he posted this absolutely nauseating AI slop video of himself as a king (of course), flying a jet fighter, and bombing/defecating on citizens exercising their constitutional rights…

Herr Trump posted this AI video that accurately expresses how much he hates the American people and the principles this nation stands for.It is more evidence that he is deranged, infantile, and utterly unfit to serve. How can any patriot support this disgusting behavior?

Crybaby Trump Whines – aka Lies – that His Judicial and Legal Nominees Aren’t Being Confirmed

Posted by on October 17, 2025 at 1:59 pm. 0 Comments :

The Complainer-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is at it again. Never mind that the United States government is in the midst of another Trump Shutdown. Or that Trump’s inflationary tariffs continue to raise the cost of living for the American people. Or that Trump’s ICE thugs are invading cities and harassing citizens across the country. Or that Trump’s “Justice” Department is persecuting his political foes and the press. Trump is too busy bellyaching about his own perceived victimhood to worry about any of that.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. After all, Trump himself told us years ago that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. He literally said that he whines until he gets what he wants. And it may be one of the few times that we can actually believe him…

SEE THIS: Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President

The latest demonstration of Trump’s distemperment came in a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He is apparently very disturbed by what he says as the failure of Congress to confirm his judicial and attorney nominees. Specifically, he is upset at the Democrats who have legitimate reasons to oppose them. Trump lashed out saying that…

A ‘Blue Slip’ means that if you’re a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, ‘Blue Slips’ are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and that’s not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”

There’s a lot wrong with that pitiful rant. Overall, Trump’s core complaints are two-fold. 1) that he can “never be successful” in getting his nominees confirmed. And 2) that it’s all the fault of Democrats. However, both of those gripes are false.

First of all, Trump’s complaint about judges not being confirmed doesn’t comport with reality. Here are the facts. He had 174 judges confirmed in his first term. He has six confirmed so far in his current term. He currently has 14 nominees pending. However, none of them are in states with a Democratic senator. Therefore, there are no “Blue Slips” to contend with. So if his judges aren’t being confirmed, there are other reasons.

Trump then complains about his U.S. Attorney nominees who aren’t being confirmed. Blue Slips are not a part of the process for that job. So, once again, they are not the reason that his nominees have stalled. The facts are that he has already had 19 confirmed. Part of the problem here is that Trump keeps appointing people on an interim basis, and then trying to make them formal nominees. But there are laws that regulate the circumstances under which that is permitted. And Trump doesn’t understand those laws, or care about them.

So Trump’s problems with both his judges and U.S. attorneys are purely of his own making. But rather than acknowledge his ignorance and incompetence, he is resorting to his favorite reaction: Whining and trying to shift the blame for his failures unto others. And this is the “leader” that MAGA thinks is so strong and powerful? Yeah, right!

Trump Blasts the Former Presidents Who ‘Strangled’ Middle East Peace – Which Includes Himself

Posted by on October 13, 2025 at 2:24 pm. 0 Comments :

There are good reasons to be grateful today for the freedom of the 20 remaining living hostages taken by Hamas two years ago. The October 7 slaughter that Hamas conducted at a music festival in Israel was unthinkably repugnant. And the hostage taking was cruel and unforgivable.

Donald Trump

While it may be a joyous day for the freed hostages and their families, we cannot forget the horror of the past that resulted in the deaths of so many innocent people. And that includes the tens of thousands of Palestinians is Gaza who were not combatants and had no part in the atrocities of Hamas.

On this day we are thankful that some of the victims have been returned. But we must also remain committed to preventing any such event from occurring in the future. And with regard to that, we must recognize that Donald Trump is not helping matters. He is not a hero or a peace activist. To the contrary, he has exacerbated the problem with his vile rhetoric and his exploitation of events to glorify himself.

SEE THIS: By Trump’s Deranged Logic the U.S. Should Takeover Israel and Relocate All of its Residents

For instance, in the address he gave before the Israeli Knesset, Trump frequently wandered off into shameless praising of himself for making America “the hottest country anywhere in the world.” Which has nothing to do with the situation in the Middle East. But even worse, he sought to heap all the credit on the “peace” deal onto himself, saying that…

“What we’re doing now, it could’ve happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel.”

REALLY? In Trump’s revisionist history, only former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden were responsible for failing to achieve peace in the Middle East. However, he left out another president who served in between those two. His name was Donald Trump. So why didn’t Trump get a peace deal four years ago if it was so easy? Was it because he has a “hatred toward Israel”?

It should also be noted that the deal Trump claims credit for now was fundamentally the same as one that Biden had proposed in May of 2024. It contained the same three phases, hostage releases, and plans for governing of Gaza. Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu nixed that deal under pressure from his far-right legislators. He may also have had an incentive to prevent Biden from getting any credit, in order to help Trump win the 2024 election, and then agree to essentially the same plan, but attaching Trump’s name to it.

So while we rejoice in the good news about the freed Israelis who have suffered for so long, let’s also keep in mind that the sort of ignorance, dishonesty, hostility, and incompetence, that is part and parcel of the character of Trump, has caused more suffering than it has resolved. And if we are to progress as a nation, and a leader in the world community, we must not allow villains like Trump to come to power just so they can abuse it.

Trump Derangement Surfaces in Two Truth Social Posts that Are Utterly Insane (More than Usual)

Posted by on October 12, 2025 at 12:34 pm. 3 Comments :

Anyone who has been paying attention is well aware of the cognitive dysfunction of Donald Trump. His incoherent responses to simple questions, and the rambling oratories such as those he delivered at the United Nations and the Navy anniversary event, would be enough to commit an ordinary person to an institution.

Donald Trump, Padded Cell

Trump manages to turn every public comment or address into a pleading for adoration, a blathering expression of victimhood, or a vicious attack on his many perceived enemies. He spent the week prior to the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize lobbying for himself to receive the honor. Never mind that the reasons against it are too numerous to list in full.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Sunday morning Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to provide additional proof (as if it were necessary) of his rapidly declining mental acuity. They were the sort of outbursts that one might expect to come from a man on a street corner shouting at cars about the end of the world. Trump began with a pre-dawn diatribe lashing out at…well, as it turns out, himself:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

The first problem with that rant is that on January 6, 2021, Trump was still president. Joe Biden was not inaugurated until January 20. So it was Trump’s FBI, including the Bureau’s director, Christopher Wray, whom he appointed three and half years prior, that would have placed any agents in the crowd of insurrectionists.

What’s more, the story that Trump is telling has already been debunked by his own current FBI director, Kash Patel. Trump raised this issue last month after reading a story about it in the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” He alleged that the FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” But that was after Patel had told Fox News that “While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd.”

If it isn’t bad enough that Trump has apparently forgotten when he was president, his other comment on Sunday morning exposed another fallacious framing of reality. He raged that…

“The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam ‘Schiffty’ Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT”

REALLY? Trump is now asserting that Watergate – the well documented scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, and the conviction of 48 of his White House staffers, including his Chief of Staff and Attorney General – was an “illegal Hoax.” That’s a new angle for Trump. Although he might want to reconsider associating his own impeachable offenses with Watergate. Because if Watergate was not a hoax, which it wasn’t, then neither is Trump’s impeachment.

Trump went on to make another wholly unfounded accusation against Sen. Adam Schiff. As in the past, Trump neglects to offer any evidence of the dishonesty or corruption that he alleges. However, Sen. Schiff was one of three persons on Trump’s enemies list that he recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to prosecute. And two of them, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey, have been indicted. So is Sen. Schiff next?

At any other time in America’s history, the behavior that Trump exhibits would result in impeachment or invocation of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office. He would already have been committed to an institution. The only question would be whether that would be a penal or mental institution. Perhaps the prison’s mental ward would be the best option.
