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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-14T17:40:01.173Z

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.

TACO TRUMP Pens Absurd Letter to NATO with Pro-Putin Conditions to End Russia’s War on Ukraine

In the past nine months Donald Trump has issued several less than compelling ultimatums to Vladimir Putin regarding his ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine. Even before he reoccupied the White House Trump promised that he would end the war in 24 hours with a single phone call to his dear friend Vlad.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Since taking office Trump reiterated his intentions to bring the conflict to a close. Last month Trump met with Putin in Alaska to negotiate a ceasefire. While steadfastly refusing to ever say anything critical of Putin, Trump insisted that Putin would have to agree to a ceasefire within 50 days – later reduced to 10 days – or there would be “severe consequences.” But as usual, Trump Always Chickens Out…

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

Unsurprisingly, Trump’s deadlines have all passed. And on Saturday Trump posted another decree on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, expressing his thoughts on how to bring peace to the region in a letter he claimed to have sent to America’s NATO allies. Unfortunately, it was just more Trump malarkey that will create more confusion than completion. He babbled in part that…

““I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA. […] I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR.”

So Trump is “ready to do major Sanctions on Russia,” but only if all of NATO joins him. That’s a pathetically weak statement. Firstly because it exposes him as being afraid to show any smidgen of leadership. And secondly because it shields him from doing anything at all. If every one of the NATO members doesn’t go along, Trump will blame the whole alliance for his own failure to act on his own promises. And Turkey, Hungary, and Slovakia are on relatively friendly terms with Russia and remain trading partners, particularly with regard to oil, so they can’t be relied on to agree to Trump’s demands.

Trump’s additional terms regarding China further complicate his initiative. He wants all of NATO to impose the same inflationary tariffs on merchandise from China that he has imposed on American companies and consumers. And he is asking this of NATO while he is imposing tariffs on them. That would result in NATO suffering the economic hardship of tariffs from both China and the U.S.

This plan could not have been better devised to fail if it were intentional. Which, undoubtedly, it was. Because Trump couldn’t care less about ending the war. Especially if it damages his relationship with Putin. Conversely, Trump has repeatedly demeaned and insulted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. And he does so again in this letter saying that…

“This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR.”

See? According to Trump it isn’t Putin’s war at all. Never mind that Putin is the one who invaded Ukraine. And Putin is the one committing war crimes. And the war could end tomorrow if Putin would just have his troops go home. Trump’s blaming Biden and Zelenskyy was so offensive that it drew criticism from Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, a conservative Republican who sits on the House Committee on Armed Services. Bacon slammed Trump saying that…

“‘It is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s war’ is so morally blind and factually wrong. Mr President, Putin is the one who is the invader. And, now this war is on your watch and you’ll be judged in the history books in the decades to come by your actions or lack thereof.”

Somehow, through all of this, Trump and his sycophants in Congress and the press think that he should get a Nobel peace prize. For what? Stalling any hopes of peace until Ukraine is defeated and Russia has achieved its imperialistic goals? If there is one thing we can learn from this, it’s that Putin could not have a better friend than Donald Trump. And America could not have a worse president.

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

While the nation continues to process the shock and grief caused by the murder of far right activist Charlie Kirk, vile and thoughtless MAGA partisans are feverishly endeavoring to politicize the crime, blaming Democrats and liberals for allegedly violent rhetoric that they say motivated the shooter. Never mind that no motive has as yet been determined.

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

Donald Trump Rally, Sieg Heil

Among the most rabid disseminators of the wholly speculative theories about what drove this assassin is the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. In the few hours after the shooting, when little was known, Trump posted a video of himself asserting as fact that the killing was the work of “the radical left” and their rhetoric that he says demonized conservatives. Although it is Trump who is the among the worst purveyors of demonizing rhetoric. For instance…

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

For some reason, Trump totally neglected to mention all of the far more numerous examples of political violence committed by the far right. That truth was revealed in a study conducted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research, development, and evaluation agency of the United States Department of Justice. Their study found that…

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

Until today, that study was available (here) for all to read on the NIJ website. But now, just as people might want to confirm the state of violent extremist rhetoric in America, the study has been removed. Fortunately, it has been preserved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. The missing NIJ page has been replaced by a message saying…

Notice: “The Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance. During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

[UPDATE: This notice has also been removed now}

How convenient! At a time when there will be a great deal of interest in the facts surrounding violent political rhetoric, a study concluded last year has been disappeared. Which only makes it easier for liars like Trump to go on Fox News and gaslight America with grotesque distortions of reality that are aimed at bolstering his dishonest and dangerous narratives maligning Democrats.

Which is just what Trump did Friday morning. Joining his morning Ministers of Propaganda on Fox and Friends, Trump engaged in the following exchange with co-host Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s fiancé)…

Earhardt: We have radicals on the right as well. We have radicals on the left. People are watching all of these videos and cheering, some people are cheering that Charlie was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?
Trump: I’ll tell you something that’s gonna get me in trouble but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. They don’t want to see crime. Worried about the border. They’re saying, ‘We don’t want these people coming in. We don’t want you burning our shopping centers. We don’t want you shooting our people in the middle of the street.’

The radicals on the left are the problem. And they are vicious. And they are horrible. And they are politically savvy. Although they want men in women’s sports. They want transgender for everyone. They want open borders.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-12T12:34:09.469Z

Note that this was Trump’s response to Earhardt asking “How do we come back together?” So apparently he thinks that calling people “vicious” and “horrible,” and lying about their opinions is the path to unity and togetherness.

Even worse is Trump’s embrace of far right radicals whose acts of violence he sees as beneficial deterrents to crime. There are scores of examples of this, but here are just a few:

  • The man who killed 23 Walmart shoppers in El Paso was just trying to reduce illegal immigration.
  • The nine murders of Black parishioners in the Charleston, South Carolina, church were only intended to promote faithful living.
  • The attacks on Democratic politicians (Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Nancy and Paul Pelosi, Minnesota state representatives Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses), were all efforts to achieve ideological balance.
  • The hundreds of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol (and who Trump pardoned), killing five police officers, were just trying to prevent Joe Biden from destroying the country. After all, in Trump’s mind Democrats are worse than Al Qaeda.

NO, REALLY! Trump’s Propaganda Minister Maligns the Democratic Party as a ‘Domestic Extremist Organization’

See? Trump radicals, good. Democrat radicals, bad. This is the sort of language that gives Trump’s MAGA minions permission to commit crimes against liberals. And it is intentional on Trump’s part. It’s one of the rare occasions when he knows exactly what he’s doing. And he gets no pushback whatsoever from his fellow Republicans or his pals on Fox News. They are all of one mind. And what if it incites further violence? Well, Trump already told you, when he said that “I couldn’t care less.”

UPDATE: Don Jr joins in to claim that political violence is only “one way” from the Democratic Party. And he advocates censorship telling Fox News that “anyone who is saying otherwise should be thrown off the air.”

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

The brutal and cowardly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has shaken the nation to its core. Most of the American people are righteously repulsed by this craven act of political violence. And the grief being felt by Kirk’s family reverberates through the country that has experienced way too much of similar shootings, particularly those of children at school.

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

Donald Trump Angry

Sadly, those sentiments cannot be felt by America’s current occupant of the White House. Donald Trump didn’t wait long before he politicized this crime in a hate-filled video that openly blamed his political foes for the shooting. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s campaign of hatred throughout his political career. He truly regards Democrats as traitorous scum and isn’t shy about saying so.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

Those feelings were reiterated in a despicable video that Trump posted following Kirk’s shooting. Rather than demonstrate the grace of empathetic leadership, Trump took the lowest road possible to further divide the country and incite more violence. He raged that “Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.” And that’s not all…

“It’s long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree, day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible.

“For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

“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, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.”

Trump is already politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk, saying that "Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people."And he's issuing threats that "My administration will find each and every one of those that contributed to this atrocity and…the organizations that fund it"

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-11T08:43:08.001Z

That heinous harangue is typical of Trump’s notorious maliciousness. He isn’t satisfied merely attacking his critics and blaming them for the all manner of evil. He also threatens to persecute them by abusing the power of his office and weaponizing of the Justice Department. And he does all of this before the shooter, or any motive, is even identified.

This may be a good time to remind people of just how rabidly partisan and venomous Trump is. In the past few months he has referred to Democrats as “Radical Left Lunatics” fourteen times. And he has accused them of harboring dastardly intentions to destroy America. No, really! Here are ten times this year alone…

March 21, 2025: the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country.

May 12, 2025: The Democrats, on the other hand, want to DESTROY our Country.

May 26, 2025: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS.

May 27, 2025: the Environmentalists doing everything they can to destroy our Country.

June 15, 2025: These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities.

July 2, 2025: I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York.

August 2, 2025: THE DEMOCRATS ARE EXTORTIONISTS WHO ALMOST DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY.

August 7, 2025: The only thing that can destroy our Country are Crooked, Radical Left Judges, of which there are many!

August 11, 2025: “Congresswoman” Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons.

August 19, 2025: the Corrupt Fake News, which continues to divide and destroy our Great Country.

That’s how Trump really feels about “demonizing” rhetoric. He employs it freely to attack his opponents, ignoring what he now calls “the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree.” He couldn’t care less if it is “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.” And he promises that he “will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity,” to suffer the punishment of his toxic wrath.

It’s a recipe for exacerbating the environment of violence that he has been instrumental in creating. It’s almost as if he’s glad that Kirk was killed, so that he can exploit his death to further his totalitarian ambitions. It’s definitely not the way to tone down the rhetoric and unite the country. But he surely doesn’t care about that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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