Trump Lashes Out Manically at Firefighters and Jack Smith in a Rabid Late-Night Freakout

Posted by on January 12, 2025 at 12:57 pm. 0 Comments :

With everything that is currently going on in the nation and the world, it is interesting to know what is keeping Donald Trump up at night. Well “interesting” may be an overstatement. But it is a revealing peak into the madness that infects America’s president-elect as he prepares to reoccupy the White House.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Due to Trump’s rapidly deteriorating mental state, we can rest assured that he will always make his manic midnight obsessions known, whether anyone actually wants to know or not. And in doing so he inevitably displays the depth of his acute dementia.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane

Very late Saturday night, or actually very early Sunday morning, Trump was still awake and agonizing over what he believes are the hot topics of day. And true to form, the matters that cluttered his cartoon brain were predictably how infuriated he is with the miserable state of his extraordinarily privileged existence. In a pair of posts on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump vacillated between his two most infamous mindsets, venomous fury and petulant whining.

Let’s begin by examining the post expressing his fury over what he thinks are the most important aspects of the tragic fires in Los Angeles. And no, it has nothing to do with the suffering of the victims or the sacrifices of the first responders and other members of the community. Nope. To Trump it was more important to cast undeserved blame on political foes…

“The fires are still raging in L.A. The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our Country. They just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?”

Notice that Trump seems to think that politicians are responsible for putting out fires. But his criticism falls flatly on the heroic firefighters who are risking their lives, working 24/7, to save lives and property. He also seems to be more concerned about the “magnificent houses” than the people. As for his fear mongering that “there is death all over the place,” that was typical of his practice of reckless exaggeration.

To be sure, the 14 confirmed fatalities is awful for those involved and their families. But so were the 230 deaths from Hurricane Helene that ravaged Florida and much of the South last September. However, Trump never bothered to hurl insults at the Republican leadership of those states, or the first responders either. He also never threatened to withhold critical aid from the red state victims of a natural disaster, unlike what he and his MAGA minions have done with California. All he has done since the L.A. fires began has been to exploit the suffering for political gain. Something “The Daily Show” couldn’t help take notice of…

Trump’s other late-night nonsense was his reaction to having been sentenced for his 34 felony convictions in New York. And even though he received no jail time or financial penalty, he still whined like an infant about what he said was “very unfair” treatment. Which is actually correct. Had it been fair, he would have been in prison long ago, like any other guilty perpetrator. But in his mind Mr. Macho Man is always the victim…

“Deranged Jack Smith was fired today by the DOJ. He is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his Country. After spending over $100,000,000 on the Witch Hunt against TRUMP, he left town empty handed!”

That brief tirade was littered with a surprising quantity of lies. First of all, Jack Smith was not fired. He resigned, just as he said would several weeks ago. Secondly, far from disgraceful, he maintained his composure and dignity throughout a difficult process, while Trump relentlessly attacked him with childish insults. Third, his prosecution was costly, but only about half of what Trump is dishonestly saying. And most that expense was caused by Trump’s manipulation of the legal system to cause endless delays. Finally, if Trump thinks that Smith “left town empty handed,” why is he still whining and threatening to appeal?

Although he tries to cover it up with false bravado, Trump is clearly riddled with severe anxiety at becoming the first American president who has been convicted of dozens of felonies and adjudicated a rapist. But his assault on the first responders, and representatives of California’s citizens, is a far worse example of a total lack of character by Trump. And while his outbursts are repulsive, they are not surprising.

We have all seen Trump’s perverse behavior for way too many years now. And sadly, there will still be more to come. So it is now the duty of all patriots to stay strong and focused on resisting Trump’s anti-American, totalitarian aspirations. We simply don’t have the luxury of being discouraged or depressed. We must continue to fight for democracy and the Constitution. They are worth it.

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE! Convicted Felon Trump Clings to Fox News Legal Hacks at Sentencing Hearing

Posted by on January 10, 2025 at 1:04 pm. 1 Comments :

It’s official! Donald Trump is a convicted felon. On Friday morning he was sentenced in the state of New York for having falsified financial documents in order to cover up his affair with an adult film star so that his infidelity would not impair his electoral prospects. He is thus the first convicted felon to be elected and serve as president of the United States.

Donald Trump, Wah

Naturally, Trump’s response to this development was a bellicose burst of babbling about what a pitiful victim he is of some imaginary cabal of diabolical enemies determined to destroy him. His mental deterioration is escalating at a rapid pace as he prepares to reoccupy the White House.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane

Friday’s sentencing hearing featured Trump in a remote appearance complaining about his being given an “unconditional discharge,” which means that he would not be serving any time in prison or paying any financial penalty. Judge Juan Merchan explained that this was the only option available due to Trump’s reelection and the Supreme Court’s granting him immunity for virtually any crime he committed. But apparently, even that was too harsh a sentence for crybaby Trump. He whined to the court that…

“The top legal scholars and legal pundits in this country, the ones that are quoted all the time on television that are making their views felt and highly respected people, have said everyone, virtually everyone that I know of – I haven’t seen any to the contrary, not one – and these people are not exactly friends of mine, to put it mildly – but they all said this is a case that should have never been brought. It’s an injustice of justice. Very respected, Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Judge David Rivkin, a wonderful man who just passed away, by the way, Greg Jarrett, Elie Honig from CNN of all places, CNN said that.”

"Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy … " –Trump during his sentencing hearing today: But Fox News says I'm innocent

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-01-10T16:02:45.198Z

Of course, Trump’s sappy soliloquy was light years removed from reality. There were many legal scholars, on television and elsewhere, who found the charges against Trump to be warranted. He only bothered to mention by name a few who are regular fixtures on Fox News. And if he really believes that those were “everyone that I know of” and that “I haven’t seen any to the contrary, not one,” he is sicker than anyone could have previously imagined. for some accurate analysis, he might want to refer to the highly respected Andrew Weissmann, Neal Katyal, Joyce Vance, or Harry Littman, to name a few.

Trump’s Fox News pundits are staunch devotees of his MAGA cult. Contrary to his claim that they are not his friends, they are longtime Trump-fluffers who have spent years shamelessly defending him on the network that serves as his Ministry of Propaganda. And which also serves as his recruiting pool for his new Cabinet and administration.

As for Trump’s fox News pundits being “highly respected,” their analyses were aired on the same Fox News that had to shell out 3/4 of a billion dollars for lying on Trump’s behalf about his “big Lie” that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” from him.

Trump followed up his sentencing hearing with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he dismissed the hearing as “a despicable charade.” He wrote that…

“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers. […] Today’s event was a despicable charade, and now that it is over, we will appeal this Hoax. […] And I’d just like to explain that I was treated very, very unfairly. And I thank you very much.”

Apparently to Trump, his being sentenced for 34 felonies is a pathetic loss for Democrats. Perhaps so, since he was spared prison time that he deserves, and is headed for the White House to renew his assault on democracy and America. But it is hardly a win for him to make history as the first convicted felon president.

Trump actually makes a good point about “wasting 6 years” on his prosecution. But he fails to grasp that it was all his fault for having committed his crimes in the first place. And he is intent on wasting even more time by appealing the sentence that he says was “very, very unfair.” Indeed it was. Because if it were fair he would have been incarcerated long ago like any other defendant. Instead, Trump resorts to his natural state of whining petulantly. Which is something that he has proudly bragged about…

“I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win. I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

Trump Names Two More Fox News Flunkies to Join His MAGA Media Infested White House

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

One of the best measures of someone’s character and commitment to principle is the company they keep. And applying that yardstick to Donald Trump always reveals a man profoundly lacking in the sort of integrity, morality, or decency that should be required in a national leader.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump being a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, who fraternizes with foreign dictators and neo-Nazis, ought to have been enough to convince voters that he is utterly unfit to serve as president. Unfortunately, the power of cults to capture weak minds is difficult to resist for the gullible troglodytes who actually prefer that their leaders lie to them in order to make them feel safe in their ignorance and bigotry.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Trump More Than Their Own Pastor

As Trump prepares to reoccupy the White House he is assembling an administration replete with conspiracy crackpots, billionaires, and ultra-partisan bootlickers. And unsurprisingly, many of them are talking heads that he poached from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. It is an unprecedented collection of media minions and devoted television toadies taking positions in a presidential administration – 17 of them so far…

  • Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense)
  • Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence)
  • Stephen Miller (Deputy White House Chief of Staff)
  • Michael Waltz (National Security Adviser)
  • Lee Zeldin (Environmental Protection Agency administrator)
  • Elise Stefanik (Ambassador to the United Nation)
  • Tom Homan (Border “Czar”)
  • Mike Huckabee (Ambassador to Israel)
  • Sean Duffy (Secretary of Transportation)
  • Sebastian Gorka (Deputy Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism)
  • Janette Nesheiwat (Surgeon General)
  • Monica Crowley (Assistant Secretary of State and Chief of Protocol)
  • Keith Kellogg (special Envoy to Ukraine)
  • Marty Makary (FDA Commissioner)
  • Kimberley Guilfoyle (Ambassador to Greece)
  • Tammy Bruce (State Department Spokesperson)
  • Morgan Ortagus (Deputy Special Presidential Envoy for Middle East Peace)

The last two names on that list were just added by Trump this week. In his announcement for Bruce, Trump cited as her “qualifications” that she was a political analyst who “understood the power and importance of ‘MAGA’ early on,” and “saw the lies and fraud of the Radical Left.” Which are not exactly the sort of skills sought for a competent and fair person to communicate with the press.

Trump’s announcement for Ortagus was even more outlandish. It read more like a reprimand and a warning for a poorly performing employee. He said that “Early on Morgan fought me for three years, but hopefully has learned her lesson. These things usually don’t work out.” Oh great. So let’s put her in charge of something inconsequential, like Middle East Peace operations.

In neither of Trump’s announcements did he bother to mention that both of these nominees were contributors on Fox News. Either he’s deliberately hiding that information, or he regards it as unfavorable. He does, after all, have an ongoing love/hate relationship with Fox News.

In addition to these announcements on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump responded to to the news that he will sentenced next week for his 34 felony convictions in the New York “Hush Money” case. Trump posted four unbearably long, unreadable, and lie-riddled rants whining about the whole of America’s justice system, and specifically President Biden, and the judges, prosecutors, and victims involved in his felonious crime sprees. They are too interminably long and deranged to make anyone else suffer through, but here are a few annotated excerpts…

Trump: “Every Legal Scholar and Pundit…have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case.”
Note: When Trump refers to “Every Legal Scholar” he means only those who suck up to him.

Trump: “Justice Merchan, who is a radical partisan, just issued another order that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.”
Note: Trump being reelected with 34 felonies is “the end of the Presidency as we know it.”

Trump: “I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME!”
Note: The charges against Trump were not made up by the judge or Biden. They were established by a Grand Jury made up of citizens who examined the voluminous evidence against him. Then a trial jury found him guilty unanimously on all 34 counts.

Trump: “There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I.”
Note: There has never been a president who has committed more crimes than Trump. And nothing about his prosecution was evil or illegal.

Rest assured that the Fox News faction in Trump’s administration will continue act as propagandists and apologists for Trump and his nefarious, anti-American agenda. In other words, they will continue to do exactly the same things that they’ve been doing for years on Fox News. Except now taxpayers will be footing the bill.

Trump Insults America and its Justice Institutions as ‘SCUM’ Just Weeks Before His Inauguration

Posted by on January 2, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The new year is less than two days old and Donald Trump is already demonstrating that he has no comprehension whatsoever of how the people of America feel, or what the nation needs during challenging times. When most Americans are still wrapped up in the warmth and hopefulness of the holidays, Trump is affirming that he has nothing but disgust for the country that he is supposedly about to take charge of.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump

There has never been a president who has been so openly disdainful of the country as Donald Trump. He never misses an opportunity to disparage the nation’s institutions and leaders. He regards them as incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, and determined to destroy him personally. He sees everything the government does as a conspiracy against him. Even on holidays, he doesn’t get a minute’s rest from his paranoid delusions.

SEE THIS: Trump Spends New Year’s Eve Whining About Whether the Senate Will Confirm His Noxious Nominees

So it should come as no surprise that Trump spent the days following New Year’s furiously flinging his middle finger at the country for offenses that exist only in his Neanderthal neuroses. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was drenched in the derangement of his malignant narcissism. In a post-midnight tirade, he raged that…

“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when’s you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership.”

Oh? So this is what happens “when’s” you have open borders? No wonder the country is a laughing stock. It has just reelected a clown who can’t speak the language. He also can’t tell the truth about anything. There is not now, and never has been, open borders in America. And undocumented border crossings have declined under President Biden to levels lower than during the first Trump administration. But Trump was just getting warmed up. He continued…

“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt.”

Trump’s open hostility toward the nation’s Justice Department and law enforcement ought to have disqualified him from reoccupying the White House. And for the record, the current Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, was appointed by Trump. But in his mind he has a good reason for this rancor. He says that it’s because they have…

“…spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.”

Really? Does Trump actually believe that the DoJ and the FBI have spent “all of their waking hours” attacking him? Trump’s persecution complex may be even more gargantuan than his ego. And does he think that calling “all aspects of our government” “SCUM” is going to endear him to the administrators of the law and civil services that he thinks he will be managing?

Trump closed by saying that “Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.” But he doesn’t say for what. Perhaps it is for not being more aggressive in prosecuting him for his crimes. He also said that “The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late.” Who is going to tell him that the CIA is prohibited from being involved in domestic law enforcement and politics? However, there is one thing that Trump got right. He said that…

“The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.”

That’s true. Because “this is what happens when’s you have” MAGA-driven totalitarians who crave unchallenged power, and despise democracy, threatening their political foes and the free press. Somehow, this country needs to find a way to survive the anti-American aspirations of the incoming American president. Although he’s making it somewhat easier by being so open about his treasonous ways.

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Judicial Ruling Against Immunity For His Felony Hush Money Convictions

Posted by on December 17, 2024 at 1:11 pm. 0 Comments :

For the better part of Donald Trump’s public life, the one skill that he has shown any aptitude for is squirming out of legal troubles via delays, distractions, and deceit. It’s a skill that has served him well considering the frequency of his civil and criminal misconduct.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump

This year, Trump’s luck appeared to run out when one of his criminal cases actually went to trial and he was convicted on all 34 counts brought against him for falsifying financial records. The case centered on his payment of $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence regarding a sexual encounter that he was worried would harm his electoral prospects during the 2016 presidential race. In other words, election interference.

SEE THIS: What’s Roasting Trump’s Nuts? Jurors Believed Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, But Not Him

However, the story doesn’t end there. Trump’s conviction and sentencing were paused after the Supreme Court issued a preposterous ruling that presidents have immunity for crimes committed as part of their official duties. That ruling led to Trump’s attorneys filing a motion to have the convictions rescinded and the case dismissed.

On Tuesday morning Judge Juan Merchan issued his ruling that “the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision does not apply” because “the evidence in Trump’s hush money case related ‘entirely to unofficial conduct’ [and] ‘poses no danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the Executive Branch.'” Furthermore, the criminal acts all took place prior to Trump’s presidency, and any evidence presented at trial that came from White House personnel was immaterial and didn’t impact the “overwhelming evidence of guilt.”

Not surprisingly, this ruling triggered a massive meltdown by Trump. He posted an extended rant on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that did little more than provide further confirmation of his psychological infirmity. He raged in part that…

“In a completely illegal, psychotic order, the deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased, and incompetent Acting Justice Juan Merchan has completely disrespected the United States Supreme Court, and its Historic Decision on Immunity. But even without Immunity, this illegitimate case is nothing but a Rigged Hoax.”

Trump went on to make wild and utterly false assertions that the ruling “goes against our Constitution [and] would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.” He also took a gratuitous swipe at the special prosecutor in his federal cases, who he calls “Deranged Jack Smith,” and reprised his “Witch Hunt” whine.

Trump closed his harangue by implying that Judge Merchan is conflicted by family relations, and issued an impotent demand that “This has to stop!” Missing from this outburst was any rational legal argument to support his claims that the ruling was unlawful or in any way improper. It was just another pathetic excretion of angst-ridden inanity that served no purpose other flushing his mental colon.

If anyone thought that the next four years were going to be any different than the toxic chaos that ensued during Trump’s previous occupation of the White House, this sad episode should put that naïve notion to rest. He is who he is, and he isn’t going to change. Which makes it all the more imperative that the rest of us be prepared to defend democracy and American principles once again. LFG!

Trump and the GOP Affirm Their Reputations as Moronic Hypocrites After Hunter Biden’s Pardon

Posted by on December 2, 2024 at 2:30 pm. 0 Comments :

Trying to find hypocrisy or stupidity on the part of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions is about as difficult as trying to find stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. They are virtually everywhere. And making the task even easier is that Trump et al seem to be intent on festooning their foolishness with flags and flashing red lights.

Trump: I only pardon the best people.

The news that President Biden has issued a pardon for his son Hunter has ignited another firestorm of performative outrage on the part of the Trumpists. All of a sudden they are determined to take the sort of principled stance that has never been a part of their persona. They are now expressing their shock and dismay over what they are falsely insisting is a display of immorality on the part of the President. Never mind the obvious moral decrepitude of their own Dear Leader Trump…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Refusal to Sign the Required Ethics Agreement is His Virtual Promise to Violate It

There could be some reasonable criticisms of Biden’s decision to pardon his son. For instance, he could have waited until after Hunter’s trials and sentencing. Then he could have just commuted the sentence if there was one. But the Trumpian critics never get close to any reasonable arguments.

Since the ethically deficient fish stinks from the head, let’s begin this examination of MAGA morality with Trump’s response to the pardon. Late Sunday evening Trump posted the following message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social…

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

Seriously? Hunter Biden did not hurt anyone but himself with his violations of tax reporting and his misstatements on a form when purchasing a gun. And he made restitution by taking full responsibility and paying all his back taxes and penalties. He certainly didn’t storm the Capital causing millions of dollars of damages. He didn’t assault police officers, putting 140 of them in the hospital. He didn’t threaten the lives of members of Congress and their staff, and even the Vice-President.

In short, there is no rational comparison between Hunter’s actions and those of Trump’s January 6th insurrectionists. And there is no justifiable argument to grant the rioters pardons. For Trump to even bring it up is preposterous and an insult to the victims that his mob attacked in an effort to undermine American democracy. However, the criticisms of the pardon by the MAGA crowd were equally as devoid of reason. There were three main categories of that criticism.

First of all, they characterized the pardon as an unprecedented abuse of presidential power. In order to make that complaint, they had to ignore the points that Biden made in his official statement that Hunter was the subject of selective prosecution. Even more egregious, they had to ignore Trump’s pardons of his criminal accomplices, including Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Charles Kushner, Dinesh D’Souza, and dozens more.

Secondly, they claimed that Hunter’s pardon would justify Trump pardoning others in the future, including the January 6th insurrectionists. However, Trump has been promising to pardon them for years, and long before Biden pardoned his son. Trump doesn’t care about justifications, and wouldn’t bother with them. He does what he wants irrespective of what anyone else – or the law – has to say about it. If Biden had not pardoned Hunter, Trump would still pardon the January 6th mob, and many others who don’t warrant pardons.

Thirdly, they are yammering about whether Biden lied about his intention to pardon Hunter. He didn’t lie. He changed his mind. And with good reason considering the vengeance seeking extremists who have explicitly targeted Hunter (Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, etc.) that have been nominated to serve in Trump’s Cabinet. Patel, Trump’s proposed FBI Director, has stated unambiguously that Hunter is guilty – not allegedly guilty – of crimes that he has never been tried for, and for which their is no evidence of guilt.

When Trump’s Republican comrades can accept that they are all flaming hypocrites for supporting someone who has been convicted of 34 felonies, and has been adjudicated as a rapist with dozens of other accusations of sexual harassment and assault, and has been ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars in penalties for financial fraud, and has been prohibited from operating any charities in New York, and has been caught hoarding classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel, and has attempted to overthrow a fair and legal election… then they can maybe have something to say about President Biden and his son, Hunter. Until then, STFU!

WATCH Trump’s Attorney General Nominee, Pam Bondi, Threaten to ‘Prosecute the Prosecutors’

Posted by on November 22, 2024 at 2:44 pm. 1 Comments :

During the first occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, he distinguished himself by having the highest turnover in his Cabinet and White House staff in history. Despite bragging that he would hire “only the best people,” he ended up hiring people that he later fired because they were, in his own words, “incompetent, stupid,” and/or “losers.”

Fox News, Pam Bondi

Things are not getting off to much of a better start as Trump begins to put together the team for his next reign of error. Before a single confirmation hearing has been scheduled, Trump’s choice for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has withdrawn his name from consideration due the flood of allegations of his criminal sexual misconduct and flagrant dishonesty. And the fate of Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing a growing barrage of similar allegations.

SEE THIS: One Down: The Demise of Matt Gaetz’ AG Aspirations Spells Trouble for Pete Hegseth at Defense

Within hours of the Gaetz nomination being scrapped, Trump announced his replacement for the post, former Florida state Attorney General Pam Bondi. The announcement was made, as usual, on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, which appears to also be his official platform for presidential press releases. The notice listed some of Bondi’s experience as a prosecutor, taking credit for Florida’s middling to poor record on drugs and crime. It also addressed a familiar theme in Trump’s repertoire of whining…

“The partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime.”

Let’s set aside the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever of the Justice Department being partisan. To the contrary, it has also prosecuted several prominent Democrats, including President Biden’s son, Hunter. But if fighting crime is actually what Trump wants from his Justice Department, they can start with his own record of 34 felony convictions and 54 still pending charges.

What Trump doesn’t bother to mention about Bondi is that she was on his defense team during his first impeachment trial for attempting to pressure the president of Ukraine into investigate Biden, withholding U.S. security aid, and obstruction of Congress. He also didn’t mention that she accepted an illegal donation from him, then dropped out of a lawsuit against his fraudulent Trump University.

MORE HERE: Donald Trump Caught Outright Lying About ‘Donation’ To Florida Attorney General

Furthermore, Trump’s assertion that Bondi wouldn’t be “weaponizing” the Department of Justice herself has no basis in reality. She actually made the opposite case last year in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that…

“When Republicans take back the White House – and we will be back in there – you know what’s gonna happen? The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones. The investigators will be investigated. Because the deep state, last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them and they can all be investigated. The house needs to be cleaned out because now we know who most of them are.”

That’s right. Bondi actually took the position that under her leadership, if confirmed, she would favor prosecuting the career attorneys at the DoJ who would be working for her. That’s gotta be unsettling from both a professional and a personal perspective for the staff at the Department.

Finally, Bondi would become another member of Trump’s Fox News Cabinet being cast by the former reality TV game show host. According to Media Matters, she has made 64 appearances on Fox News since January 2023. That’s about once every week and a half. Which is why Trump nominated Bondi to begin with. She holds the single most important qualification to Trump: He’s seen her face on TV.

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Jack Smith’s Documentation of His Crimes – But Doesn’t Dispute Any of It

Posted by on October 3, 2024 at 11:57 am. 1 Comments :

The incompetence and ignorance of Donald Trump has been on public display for many years (decades?) now. The monumental failures in his business affairs, political pursuits, and personal life have become legendary. However, there is one area where he has been remarkably successful: Delaying legal accountability for his multitude of crimes.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, coronavirus

Trump has already been convicted of 34 felonies. But that’s just the tip of his illegality iceberg. He still has 54 felony charges pending. And there are also the civil offenses that he has been found liable for, including financial fraud and sexual assault. There are so many legal quandaries that he has to sidestep that he sometimes loses track of his excuses and deflections…

SEE THIS: WHOA! Did Trump Just Admit that He’s Guilty and is Whining that He Couldn’t Make a Plea Deal?

On Wednesday the federal court in D.C. unsealed a filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the case involving Trump’s criminal participation in the January 6th insurrection and associated efforts to undermine democracy. The filing is a 165 page document containing damning evidence of Trump’s treasonous guilt and callous amorality.

The filing features, in part, Trump reportedly saying “So what?” after being told that Mike Pence was in danger at the Capitol; his disregard for election results, telling his daughter Ivanka that “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election, you still have to fight like hell;” and his staff advocating violence to prevent Joe Biden from being certified as the winner, saying to “Make them riot.”

In response to this bombshell legal brief, Trump took to his failing social media megaphone, Truth Social, to make a wholly impotent case for his innocence. There’s just one problem. He didn’t bother to actually make a case at all…

“Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris. The DOJ pushed out this latest ‘hit job’ today because JD Vance humiliated Tim Walz last night in the Debate. The DOJ has become nothing more than an extension of Joe’s, and now Kamala’s, Campaign. This is egregious PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, and should not have been released right before the Election. The Democrat Party is turning America into a Third World Country that tries to censor, harass, and intimidate their Political Opponents. What they have done to our Justice System is one of the Great, All Time, Tragedies.”

It is difficult to ignore the fact that there is nothing in that rant – or the other six posts he made on this subject – that actually claims that he’s innocent. He doesn’t even bother to dispute the factual findings in the filing. His entire defense is to just whine about alleged election interference, weaponizing government, polls, the debate, prosecutorial misconduct, and timing. All of which he manages to get completely wrong.

It is not election interference to submit legal documents in a case that has been ongoing for months. It is not weaponizing government because there is no proof of any political influence in the filing. It is preposterous to cite his debate with Kamala Harris as having anything to do with this action by the court. Likewise, it’s absurd to bring up election polls, most of which show him trailing Harris. And Trump’s allegation of prosecutorial misconduct is unsupported by any facts – or reality.

Finally, Trump’s complaint about the timing of the filing ignores the fact that the timing was all his doing. This could have been all wrapped up months ago, but for Trump seeking multiple delays that have resulted in the filing coming at this time.

The delay tactics by Trump are actually another indication of his consciousness of guilt. An innocent person would have wanted his name to be cleared as quickly as possible. But Trump knows that he’s guilty, so he has been determined to put off his inevitable convictions in the hopes of getting reelected and dispensing with the cases and/or pardoning himself.

But Trump failed to think it through. And he underestimated Smith. So now he’s crying about a variety of legally irrelevant issues that can’t possibly help him to avoid his dire future. Of course, all of this rests on Harris prevailing in November. So it’s up to the American people to turn out for the rule of law, for democracy, and for the well being of every citizen on so many other issues. LFG!

WHOA! Did Trump Just Admit that He’s Guilty and is Whining that He Couldn’t Make a Plea Deal?

Posted by on September 13, 2024 at 1:54 pm. 0 Comments :

Donald Trump has already secured his place in history as the first, and so far only, president to ever have been indicted for, and convicted of, felony crimes. He is scheduled to be sentenced for his 34 financial fraud convictions in November. Then he still has 52 more felony indictments that are pending.

Donald Trump, Prison

In addition to those criminal counts, Trump was also found civilly liable for defamation and sexual assault. And he has been prohibited from operating a charity in New York after his was found to have committed fraud. And his phony university was shut down and ordered to pay millions in restitution to his victims. Trump is a one-man crime spree. And yet he has been arguing that he should have “total immunity” to commit any crimes he wants.

SEE THIS: Here’s a Summary of the Crimes Trump’s Lawyer Tells the Supreme Court He Has Immunity to Commit

On Friday morning Crybaby Trump addressed reporters at his Palos Verdes, California, golf resort to act out some more of his paranoia and victimhood (video below). Most of his remarks were standard rehashes of his cult rally speeches. However, there was one bit that was surprisingly newsworthy, despite the media’s abject, albeit predictable, failure to notice. Trump was engaged in another tedious tantrum about the justice system when he griped that…

“The only one they don’t make a plea deal with is Trump. They go after their political opponents. Especially when they haven’t done anything wrong. So more charges were dropped yesterday in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s all politically inspired. It’s all against their political opponent.”

REALLY? Trump is upset that prosecutors didn’t cut a plea deal with him? While those negotiations are generally confidential, it’s a safe bet that prosecutors did offer Trump some sort of deal, and that he refused because he is psychologically incapable of accepting any responsibility.

More to the point, plea deals are entered into when a defendant agrees to admit guilt to some part of the pending indictments. So Trump’s disappointment at not getting a plea deal suggests that he might have made such an agreement on certain terms and accepted some measure of guilt.

That prospect is a far cry from Trump’s incessant babbling about “witch hunts” and “weaponization of justice,” and accusations of corrupt and/or racist prosecutors, judges, and jurors, who all have political motivations that he has never been able prove. But he wasn’t through. Trump went on to say that…

“We won the case, the big case, The one they said, the big case, the big case. completely won that case. The documents case in Florida. The case was thrown out. The deranged Jack Smith, deranged prosecutor.”

No one will be surprised to learn that Trump is lying again. The case to which he is referring is the one where is charged with stealing classified documents, hoarding them at Mar-a-Lago, and lying to the FBI about having them. He did not win that case. In fact, it has not been tried. The Trump flunky judge presiding over it dismissed it on a technicality that is so preposterous that it will likely be overturned and result in her being removed from the case.

So in that brief statement by Trump, he not only misrepresented his legal tribulations, but also implied his own guilt and potential willingness to plead to it. Which further validates what has always been the most dangerous threat that Trump faces: His own big mouth. So keep talking, Donnie.

SMART POLITICS? As Election Day Nears Trump Reminds America of His Sexual Assault Judgment

Posted by on September 6, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 0 Comments :

There a lot of important issues to be addressed in this election season. They include abortion, immigration, the economy, gun safety, and the climate crisis. And due to Donald Trump’s overt authoritarian aspirations, even the stability of American democracy is up for debate.

Donald Trump, Pervert

Trump, however, is focused on an entirely different set of priorities, ranging from his obsessive delusions of the 2020 election being “rigged and stolen” from him, to fear mongering about migrant criminals, creeping communism, and World War III. It’s a basket of deplorable nonsense that he is desperately struggling to stir up into some sort of manufactured, existential threat. But he just ends up making himself look ever more deranged.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

On Friday morning Trump called a press conference (although he left without taking any questions), to discuss his appeal of the civil judgment against him for defaming and sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. It’s an appeal that has no rational legal basis and is likely to be quickly dismissed. It’s just another attempt on Trump’s part to throw a monkey wrench into the judicial process, and to delay any possible legal consequences for his wrongdoing.

A more interesting question is, why is he making such a public display of this matter now? The only foreseeable result is that it will remind the American people that he is a flaming misogynist and an adjudicated rapist who defamed his victim. Is this really the subject that he wants on the minds of voters a few days before his debate with Kamala Harris, and just two months before Election Day?

Apparently so. Despite the memories that Trump is reviving, he still felt compelled to complain about some vaguely referenced folks who he believes were rude in some unexplained way to judges that he admired. Specifically, Palm Beach Trump flunky, Aileen Cannon. And to that end he whined that those critics should face legal consequences for daring have opinions that he didn’t approve of.

“That’s what the [Department of Defense] should look into. The legality of these people taking a brilliant judge and demeaning her. And taking other people that are fair and solid and demeaning them. It’s called ‘playing the ref.’ Nobody did it better than the late, great Bobby Knight, basketball coach. He would play, he would scream at those refs.’

[…Whereupon Trump goes off script to ramble about Knight for a while, and then…] These people are playing the ref when they are allowed to call for a recusal, impeachment of a judge. Because they’re not getting their way.”

So Trump thinks it should be illegal to criticize judges. Something he does repeatedly. He relentlessly berates them with vicious diatribes, calling them everything from “corrupt” to “deranged,” and even going after their families in a way that put them at risk of harm. He has accused them of being biased, and of coordinating with the White House to destroy him. None of which he can supply any shred of evidence for. And he has also impotently demanded that they be recused and/or impeached when he doesn’t get his way.

To make matters worse, Trump’s remarks during his press avail were profoundly unhelpful to his cause. He insulted his own lawyers as they stood docilly behind him, saying that “I’m disappointed in my legal talent, I’ll be honest with you.” Then he went on to complain that his lawyers didn’t bring up the “Monica Lewinsky type dress,” that never had any relevance to the case. His lawyers must be so proud.

Trump’s cult disciples might not regard what he’s doing as “playing the refs.” They will probably think that he is playing 3D checkers with this preposterously hypocritical harangue. Fine. Maybe Trump thinks so as well. And if he wants to plant in people’s minds the image of him as an abuser of women just prior to the election, I’m all for it. At least it’s the truth.
