What’s Keeping Snowflake Trump Awake at Night? Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah, Oh My!

Posted by on May 19, 2025 at 9:31 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor crybaby Donald Trump is spending sleepless nights massaging his wounded ego that can’t handle the fact that he is unloved by America’s most admired and talented celebrities. He is suffering terribly with having to console himself with losers like Kid Rock and Roseanne Barr. What a pity.

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

In the deepest recesses of his lonely nights, Trump is still sobbing into his MyPillow over the results of the 2024 election that he waged against Kamala Harris. Even though he won (by a historically small margin), he is inconsolable that he failed to get every vote, or to avoid any criticism. He is still whining over contrived complaints that no one buys except his cult devotees.

SEE THIS: 60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris that Drove Trump to Sue CBS is Nominated for an Emmy

So early on Monday morning, Trump was awake and posting pathetic comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. At 1:34 AM Trump lashed out at some of the beloved Americans that had the audacity to reject him and endorse Kamala Harris. He bleated that…

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???”

We now interrupt this yowling to state for the record that none of what Trump is grousing about is true. PolitiFact and others researched these baseless allegations last October when Trump first raised them about Beyoncé and “found no credible reporting that Beyoncé was paid for her endorsement or comments at the rally.”

Trump has offered no new evidence of any payments since then for Beyoncé, or Springsteen, or Oprah, or Bono. The only thing he’s offered is his relentless sniveling. And on the basis of that he is threatening to have Harris and/or the celebrities who supported her, investigated for some unspecified crime…

“I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.”

Once again, Trump is trafficking in imaginary improprieties. Harris didn’t pay for endorsements or for entertainment. She did pay for certain production costs that the law stipulates must be paid for. Those payments went to the contractors who did the production work, not the artists. But Trump still wasn’t satisfied. At 9:11 AM the same morning he posted another tantrum saying that…

“According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG! Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!”

Naturally, Trump didn’t bother to post links to any of the alleged “news reports” that he said reported that “Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000.” But in his defense, he had a good reason for not posting those links. They don’t exist. There is likewise no video of anyone booing Beyoncé, so he didn’t post that either. But he did repeat his preposterous charge that something Harris did was “AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!”

Trump has always been fond of accusing others of violating the law. It’s called projection. He is the only president who has earned 34 felony convictions. And he is the candidate who had billionaires like Elon Musk contributing millions of dollars to his campaign. And he is the one who launched a meme coin that could serve as a virtual depository for untraceable bribes from conflicted persons, including foreign operatives.

Unfortunately, Trump is also the one who yells the loudest to deflect from the criminal activities that he regularly engages in. And that deflection also draws attention away from his abhorrent policies, such as deporting migrants to foreign gulags without due process, shutting down critical government agencies that save lives in the U.S. and internationally, cutting programs that Americans rely on like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and trashing the Constitution’s protections for the free press.

But at least he’s on top of the scandalous affairs of which pop stars are backing which politicians. Someone else will take of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and the coming recession. Trump has his tiny hands full with fantasies about Springsteen and Beyoncé.

HUH? Fox News Makes the Most Bizarre Justification Yet for Trump Accepting a Free Jet From Qatar

Posted by on May 14, 2025 at 2:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The recent revelation that Donald Trump is preparing to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar to replace Air Force One has been leading the news cycle for three days now. For better or worse, it has taken precedence over his junket to the Middle East, his phony trade deals with the UK and China, his unlawful and unenforceable drug price reductions, and his efforts to defy the constitutional protection of habeas Corpus laws.

Fox News Sad

Naturally, Trump’s always predictable reaction to the torrent of criticism that he has received for his latest self-enriching enterprise has been predominantly to deny, lie, and insult his critics, whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or journalists. Especially journalists…

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Fortunately for Trump, he will always have Fox News to carry water for him as he seeks to flood the zone with bullpucky and gaslight his gullible cult disciples. To that end, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends embarked on a path of shameless Trump-fluffing to absolve him of any guilt for eagerly grabbing the gift of a flying palace from a Middle Eastern nation with whom he is doing business. Spinning furiously, they said that…

Brian Kilmeade: The question is the optics. What does Qatar want in return for a multi billion dollar plane?
Lawrence Jones: I think we would be crazy not to accept the plane. I think people have been watching way too many spy movies. And if you think the United States government and our Defense Department is not going to strip the plane – everybody is talking about technology. Could they be spying on us? Of course. We have foreign assets that want to spy on us. But they are not going to take the plane as is. They will break it apart. They will put the necessary military assets on there. The technology is there.
Kilmeade: Flip the couches to the other side.
Jones: I think it’s a gift. I think it’s totally okay.
Ainsley Earhardt: Look, the left is going crazy about this. But they have to be careful. They are fine with Harvard getting all these gifts from these Middle Eastern countries. And Bill Ackman says “the hypocrisy is staggering. If the Pentagon took a $400 million plane from Qatar, it would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence. Yet universities pocket billions from the same regimes and get a free pass.” American universities are getting billions in gifts from foreign countries and they are okay with that. Remember Barack Obama supported Harvard for going after Trump?

Jones is parroting Trump himself who said that “It would be stupid” not to accept the plane. His reasoning rested solely on the claim that it’s free. Let’s get back to that nonsense in moment. First, let’s note that free gifts are not permitted under the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. And it would be ridiculous to suggest that just because something is free that it’s okay. Would it be okay for someone with matters pending before a senator or a judge to give them a free Mercedes or Rolex?

As to whether the plane is actually free, NBC News reports that it could cost more than a billion dollars to “strip the plane” and then rebuild it with the added security enhancements that the president’s plane requires. Plus it could take years to complete the transformation. So the planes currently being built by Boeing to replace Air force One could be delivered first. And Trump would end up getting a free plane for his library that was never used as Air Force One.

Perhaps the most preposterous take in this Fox News segment is Earhardt’s comparison of Trump accepting a multimillion plane from a foreign government, to Harvard accepting academic donations. To begin with, Earhardt is actually agreeing that Trump’s acceptance of the plane is improper and “would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence.” Her complaint is only that Democrats might be hypocritical for not also being outraged about Harvard. Which is not even remotely similar.

Unlike Trump’s gift, there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting Harvard from taking such donations. Harvard isn’t using those funds in any endeavor that would impact national security. In fact, as reported by The Harvard Crimson, they are used for financial aid, graduate fellowships, research funding, and related educational and operational expenses. And the donations they receive are fully disclosed as required by law.

Trying to equate Trump, a known felon with 34 convictions for financial fraud, and his breach of constitutional law, to Harvard’s commonplace and legal academic fundraising, is really just a demonstration of how desperate Fox News is to find any justification for an unjustifiable act by a criminal president. And that desperation only makes their failure more apparent and pathetic.

Trump Celebrates Peace Officers Memorial Day, Doesn’t Mention Pardoning January 6th Cop Killers

Posted by on May 13, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 0 Comments :

Donald Trump is taking the first foreign junket of his second occupation of the White House this week. His first stop is Saudi Arabia, where is is shamelessly sucking up to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man who murdered Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, and gave Trump’s daughter (Ivanka) and son-in-law (Jared Kushner) two billion dollars.

Donald Trump, Police

Trump’s pilgrimage to the Persian Gulf states will also include visits to the United Arab Emirates, where he’s building a new golf resort, and Qatar, who just offered him a gift of a $400 million “flying palace” to replace Air Force One. He didn’t bother to speak of either of those glaring conflicts of interest in his initial public statements. Not that he would have anything relevant to say, even if he were asked.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Trump did, however, make time to recognize that May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day. He posted a message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, commemorating the day that honors America’s law enforcement officers and their families. He, or the AI bot/intern that he designated, wrote that…

“On Peace Officers Memorial Day and during Police Week, we honor our brave officers who serve on the front lines to protect our families, safeguard our communities, and shoulder a burden of responsibility that most Americans cannot fathom. This week and always, we honor the courageous men and women serving in law enforcement and memorialize those who sacrificed their lives defending the thin blue line.”

It’s always a nausea-inducing affair when Trump pretends to care about law enforcement. After all, he is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who viciously disparages the police, prosecutors, and judges when they do their duty to enforce the laws that he has broken. Even worse, he granted pardons to the 1,500 January 6th insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capital on his behalf, resulting in more than 140 officers being hospitalized and five of them dying. More recently he proposed to pay his violent thugs reparations.

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

Trump, of course, didn’t mention any of that in his perfunctory statement that only served to cover his asinine imitation of support for the police. The only support he has for police is when he can employ them to advance his fascist police state aspirations. However, in his extended proclamation, he did mention some other points that were equally as absurd and out of touch with reality. For instance…

“A nation in chaos ceases to be a citadel of liberty.”
And who is more responsible for deliberate and destructive chaos than Trump?

“Tragically, the previous administration allowed lawlessness to permeate our country.”
As usual, Trump used this event to malign his predecessor, President Biden, who actually did respect law enforcement and presided over a historic decline in crime. This was verified by PolitiFact.

“I am fulfilling my promise to make America safe again by reclaiming sovereignty on the border and restoring the rule of law in communities nationwide.”
What Trump means by “restoring the rule of law” is to apprehend suspected migrants and ship them off to foreign gulags without due process. Also, he seeks weaponize the Justice Department so that he can persecute his political foes. Also, he advocates for immunizing bad cops to use brutality without consequences.

“The oath to serve and protect comes with extraordinary risk and sacrifice.”
Is this like the oath that Trump took to uphold the Constitution that he has already forgotten about and is violating?

“I have asked the Congress to codify my Executive Order mandating the death penalty for the murder of a police officer.”
That’s nice. Except that murdering a police officer is already a capital offense and has been for thirty years, since the passage of the Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994.

Like everything else that Trump does, this is purely an exercise in whatever benefits him. It is a PR stunt whose value is completely undone by his prior words and misdeeds. He simply has zero moral authority to pretend to honor the heroes who he has so frequently insulted and worked against.

Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Posted by on May 12, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 1 Comments :

The most predictable response by Donald Trump to any question more probing than how handsome he is, will almost always be an attack on the reporter as “fake news” or simply a “low IQ” person. It’s his simple-minded method of avoiding having to justify the latest atrocity he has thrust onto the nation.

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

Donald Trump Angry

Trump is seriously deluded if he believes that insulting journalists actually constitutes a rational reply to a substantive inquiry on subjects that the American people care about. But that’s how he operates, and he seems to be convinced that it satisfies the public. Never mind that most recent surveys show that the people are far from satisfied.

SEE THIS: Trump Marks His First 100 Days By Glorifying Why Most Americans See Him as ‘A Dangerous Dictator’

Yet another growing controversy of Trump’s own creation emerged over the weekend that reveals his intention to accept a gift 747 plane, from his dear friends in Qatar, that he can use to replace the current Air Force One. And naturally, the Qataris are doing this purely out of the kindness of their hearts with no ulterior motive whatsoever, because that’s just how they are.

There are numerous problems with such an arrangement, including the obvious ethical breach, the flagrant violation of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, and matters of national security related to a such a critical mode of transportation possibly being technologically compromised. So it it was not surprising that Trump would be asked about it in his next press avail, which took place Monday morning. He engaged in the following exchange with ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott…

Scott: What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?
Trump: You’re ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you – you should be embarrassed asking that question. They’re giving us a free jet. I could say “No, no, no. I want to pay a billion or $400 million” or whatever it is. Or I can say “Thank you very much.” […]

It’s not a gift to me. It’s a gift to the Department of Defense. And you should know better, because you’ve been embarrassed enough. And so has your network. Your network is a disaster. ABC is a disaster.”

Reporter: “What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?”Trump: “You're ABC fake news right?… You should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-05-12T16:16:02.317Z

There’s a lot of derp to unpack in that reply. Let’s begin with the fact that Scott wasn’t asking Trump to justify the gift, only what he would tell the American people who were concerned about it. But that was too much for Trump, who had no coherent answer, so he insulted the reporter.

What’s more, Trump lied that the plane would be a gift to the Department of Defense. He later admitted that, after he leaves the White House (if he does), the plane would be given to his presidential library. But presidential libraries are privately funded through non-profit organizations established by the former President or their supporters. So it is still a gift to the president.

Furthermore, Trump justifies accepting the gift because it’s free. So according to Trump, giving a free Mercedes to a senator before a vote would be okay? Or giving a free home to a judge before a ruling? What’s next? Vladimir Putin gives the U.S. a free building to use as its embassy in Moscow?

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was on Fox News Monday morning (as usual) to whitewash this sleazy transaction. She discussed the issue with Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade…

Kilmeade: Do you worry that if the Qataris give us something like this that they’ll want something in return?
Leavitt: Absolutely not. Because they know President Trump, and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind.

KILMEADE: Do you worry that if they Qataris give us something like this that they'll want something in return?LEAVITT: Absolutely not, because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-05-12T13:43:36.991Z

Really? If Trump was the least bit concerned about “the best interest of the American public,” he wouldn’t have imposed his recessionary Trump Taxes (aka tariffs) on America’s international trading partners; he wouldn’t be dismantling critical government agencies and cutting services such as Medicare and Medicaid; he wouldn’t be aligning himself with authoritarian tyrants and alienating American allies.

If the world knows anything about Trump, it’s that he is relentlessly transactional, and is always in it for himself. This latest scam is just the most recent proof.

Is This a Joke? Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, Tells Fox News ‘No One Is Above the Law’

Posted by on April 25, 2025 at 1:48 pm. 2 Comments :

One of the most chronic complaints of Donald Trump and his cult cabal has been his assertion that there has been a “weaponization” of government, particularly with regard to the Justice Department. His feelings on this subject are surely driven by the fact that he has been the most criminally active president in history, with a rap sheet longer than mobster Al Capone’s. Which, for some reason, he likes to brag about.

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

Fox News, Pam Bondi

However, the only real evidence of such weaponization actually comes from the Trump administration itself. From the outset of his reoccupation of the White House, Trump has embarked on mission of malevolence aimed at all manner of civil servants, but especially the judiciary.

SEE THIS: Trump is on a Crusade to Intimidate and Impeach Judges Who Dare to Rule Against Dear Leader

On Friday morning there was a chilling example of this malignant behavior in a report that Trump’s FBI had arrested a sitting judge in Wisconsin on charges of obstructing justice by allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest. The charge is a typically specious exercise in the fascistic philosophy that permeates everything that Trump and his cronies are doing.

True to form, whenever there is a crisis connected to the Trump regime, he dispatches his subordinates to Fox News. Many of them spend more time on Fox than they do in their offices doing their jobs. That may actually be a blessing in disguise. In this case, it was Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, who took her place on the Fox News pedestal to deliver her propaganda pitch to Fox hosts John Roberts and Sandra Smith. She began by insulting the whole of the judicial system…

Bondi: What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me.
Smith: When the American public hears this and they think these were once outstanding people in their communities, and their professions, and they put it on the line for this. Have you dug into their motive? What inspired them to carry out these acts and harbor criminals?
Bondi: They’re deranged is all I can think of. I cannot believe… I think that some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law. And they are not. And we’re sending a very strong message today, if you are harboring a fugitive, we don’t care who you are. If you’re helping hide one, if you’re giving a TdA [Tren de Aragua gang] member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and prosecute you. We’ll find you.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me … they are deranged … we are sending a very strong message today … we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-04-25T17:11:59.990Z

Notice that Smith openly takes Bondi’s side, expressing her horror that this judge would put her reputation on the line, and falsely stating as a matter of fact that the judge was harboring criminals. To which Bondi replied that the only explanation for such behavior was that the judge is “deranged.” That is not a legal argument. It is a childish insult that reveals Bondi’s legal ineptitude. She also throws in an extraneous reference to someone giving guns to gang members, which no one has even hinted at. But this was just the beginning. They went on…

Roberts: Very significant development that you’re arresting judges now. Now it could be that the judges engaged in some terribly bad behavior and deserve to be arrested. But you know what critics will say. That this is the government that is expanding the powers of Article 1 of the Constitution, now they’re arresting judges. How do you respond to that?
Bondi: No one is above the law. No one is above the law in this country. And if you are destroying evidence, if you are obstructing justice, if you have victims sitting a courtroom of domestic violence, and you’re escorting a criminal defendant out a back door, it will not be tolerated. It is a crime in the United States of America. It doesn’t matter who you are. You are going to be prosecuted.”

ROBERTS: Critics will say this is the government expanding the powers of Article 1 of the Constitution, now they're arresting judges. How do you respond?BONDI: Nobody is above the law

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-04-25T17:13:12.277Z

How any credible journalist could listen to that response and not break out in hysterical laughter is hard to fathom. Although Fox News need not worry about that because they don’t employ any credible journalists.

Bondi’s clinging to the notion that “no one is above the law” is hypocritical in the extreme. Her boss, Trump, has literally been adjudicated to be above the law by the right-wing members of the Supreme Court who ruled that he has immunity for official acts, which they seem to define as anything that he says is official.

Meanwhile, Trump has 34 pending felony convictions for which he has not been sentenced. There are 54 more felony charges for which he has not been tried. And he continues to rack up more criminal acts, such his shuttering independent government agencies over which he has no jurisdiction. And his firing of thousands of employees without complying with the legal prerequisites to do so. And his deportations of people without providing the due process that the law demands. And his refusing to obey federal court orders and injunctions.

But other than that, no one is above the law. Well, except for all the MAGA politicians who break the law with impunity. And all of Trump’s oligarch pals who get away with flagrant financial crimes. And about 1,500 violent insurrections who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to undermine democracy, and put 140 police officers in the hospital, who all got presidential pardons. But other than that…

White House ‘Corrects’ a New York Times Headline – Winds Up Affirming Trump’s Contempt of Court

Posted by on April 18, 2025 at 2:37 pm. 0 Comments :

The second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump has proven to be far more destructive of the laws and principles of the United States and its Constitution than even the most pessimistic prognosticators imagined. And exacerbating the damage done is the fact that Trump routinely makes matters worse when he is confronted with his offenses.

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

Donald Trump

That was demonstrated this week when Sen. Chris Van Hollen travelled to El Salvador to arrange a meeting with his Maryland constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was abducted by Trump’s thugs and carted off to a gulag in El Salvador without the due process that everyone is entitled to in the American justice system. Garcia has also suffered the defamatory abuse of Trump’s MAGA media propagandists.

SEE THIS: Trump DHS Official on Fox News Likens Wrongly Deported Migrant, Abrego Garcia, to Osama Bin Laden

After first being refused, Van Hollen was eventually permitted to see Abrego Garcia and ascertain his welfare and treatment while in custody. The meeting was a significant step forward to what should be Abrego Garcia’s release, and it was widely reported in the U.S. press.

Among the media that posted stories about the meeting was the New York Times. Their headline accurately stated that “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man in El Salvador.” And that honesty was taken as some sort of challenge by the Trump administration to pile on with more lies and callous disregard for human rights. The White House posted the following…

Thanks White House hack, for providing this additional proof that Trump is in Contempt of Court for non-compliance with a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-04-18T18:40:35.874Z

You really have to wonder just how severely disturbed one has to be to get on Trump’s White House staff. This attempt to mock what is a profoundly gross violation of international law and human rights is not only repulsive, it actually harms Trump’s already weak arguments for having deported Abrego Garcia, and for maintaining his incarceration. Trump’s White House is actually affirming that he is deliberately in Contempt of Court.

For starters, they crossed out the word “Wrongly,” which contradicts their own admission that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was the result of “an administrative error.”

Secondly, they also crossed out the words “Maryland Man,” and replaced them with “MS-13 Illegal Alien. However, there is no evidence whatsoever that Abrego Garcia is, or ever was, affiliated with MS-13 or any other gang. Furthermore, in the 15 years that he has lived in the U.S. he has never been arrested or charged with any crime.

Finally, they added the words “Who’s Never Coming Back” to end of the headline, referring to their insistence that Trump and his administration have no intention bringing Abrego Garcia back home, despite the ruling by a federal court ordering his return, which was upheld 9-0 by the Supreme Court. That’s gonna come in handy when hearings are held to determine whether Trump should be held in Contempt of Court.

For his part, Trump took time off from golfing to address this matter with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that Van Hollen “looked like a fool,” who was “begging for attention.” And for that Trump called him a “grandstander.” All of which proves that Trump is still the master of projection and is staring into a mirror when composing his insults of others. Has there ever been a more foolish, attention grabbing, grandstander than Trump?

Trump DHS Official on Fox News Likens Wrongly Deported Migrant, Abrego Garcia, to Osama Bin Laden

Posted by on April 15, 2025 at 1:27 pm. 1 Comments :

Last month the Donald Trump Immigration Squad captured and deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian national married to a U.S. citizen, with no criminal record, and deported him to El Salvador on the basis of wholly unfounded charges of criminal and gang activities. They later admitted that the deportation was a mistake caused by what they called an “administrative error.”

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

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

Abrego Garcia was sent to a notoriously brutal gulag in El Salvador and has been held incommunicado ever since. Efforts to free him have been met with a barrage of lies and insults, while Trump himself ridiculously claims that he has no power to effectuate a return. It’s typical of his dishonest proclamations made to his MAGA media mouthpieces who are only there to serve Dear Leader.

SEE THIS: Trump Escalates His War on the Press – and the Courts – with Predictably Preposterous Results

On Monday night a Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, was interviewed on Fox News by devoted Trump-fluffer Will Cain. In the course of their discussion McLaughlin made a grotesque and grossly inappropriate association between Abrego Garcia and Al Qaeda terrorist, Osama Bin Laden…

“The media would love for you to believe that this is a media darling, that he is just a Maryland father. Osama Bin Laden was also a father, and yet, he was not a good guy. And they actually are both terrorists. He should be in this El Salvador prison, a prison for terrorists, and I hope he will remain there.”

DHS's Tricia McLaughlin: The media would love for you to believe that [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is a media darling, that he's just a Maryland, father. Well Osama bin Laden was also a father and yet he wasn't a good guy, and they're actually both terrorists.

— Nikki McCann Ramírez (@nikkimcr.bsky.social) 2025-04-14T20:31:35.429Z

Seriously? There is no record whatsoever of any criminal acts or violence by Abrego Garcia. And the Trump factions haven’t presented a scintilla of evidence of any of their charges against him. So it is profoundly defamatory to make unqualified accusations of any kind, especially associating them with terrorist leaders who massacred thousands of innocent people.

McLaughlin’s lame attempt to tar Abrego Garcia with the barbarism of Bin Laden is preposterous in the extreme. She could have just as well said that Trump is a terrorist because he is also a father and is responsible for the deaths of more than a million Americans due to his deliberate downplaying of the COVID pandemic. She could even have drawn a connection between Trump and Hitler, because both sent innocent people that they didn’t like to prisons (aka concentration camps), without due process of law.

McLaughlin was not alone in making such chilling and un-American remarks. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt addressed the Abrego Garcia matter on Tuesday in the White House press briefing room. She responded to a reporter’s question saying that…

“The Democrat and media outrage over the deportation of Abrego Garcia, an ms-13 El Salvadorian illegal alien criminal who has been hiding in Maryland, has been nothing short of despicable. Based on the sensationalism of many of the people in this room, you would think we deported a candidate for father of the year. That’s because, unfortunately, many in this country care more about this ‘Maryland father,’ illegal MS-13 gang member, than an American mother and American citizen who was brutally murdered at the hands of a different illegal alien.”

https://bsky.app/profile/artcandee.bsky.social/post/3lmumojf72k2u

There is an abundance of derp in that statement. Let’s begin with the fact that Abrego Garcia was not “hiding” in Maryland. He had a family and a job and was a productive member of his community.

Leavitt went on to insult the reporters in the room by calling them “despicable” and engaging in “sensationalism,” simply because they pressed the administration to justify its treatment of a man for whom they had not provided any proof of the crimes that they alleged. And finally, Leavitt tried to connect the murdered mother to whom she referred with Abrego Garcia, who had nothing to do with that crime.

If anything is despicable about this, it’s the efforts by the Trump Propaganda Team to turn Abrego Garcia into a monster. They should immediately return him to his home and family. Then, if they have any evidence, they can present it to a court the way it’s done in America. Just making outlandish accusations with nothing to back then up is the sort of thing that is done in the totalitarian states, with autocratic tyrants, that Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate.

To those interested in some apt comparisons, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made one recently. And there is plenty of evidence to back it up. She was responding to the false accusations of Trump’s Propaganda Team that Abrego Garcia has a history of violence and sexual assault. You know who actually does have such a record? Donald Trump – with 34 felony convictions and dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault, including civil liability, with an adjudication that he’s a rapist, that resulted in a multimillion dollar judgment against him.

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

Posted by on March 26, 2025 at 12:50 pm. 4 Comments :

TREASON PAYS! That’s the message that Donald Trump is blasting out loud and clear. If you are a staunch devotee of the Cult of Trump who is willing to break the law and threaten the lives of American citizens, soldiers, law enforcement officers, and congressional representatives, there is a place for you in the ranks of the StormTrumpers, a mercenary operation being run out of Trump’s White House.

Donald Trump Insurrection

This week Trump is being forced to defend himself from the scandalous allegations of Signal-Gate, wherein the most senior members of his administration were caught discussing classified information about a pending attack plan on Houthi rebels in Yemen. It was a blatant breach of national security protocol that could have cost the lives of soldiers, and may yet still be found to have compromised United States intelligence operations. And it was so badly mangled that even Fox News struggled to provide their usual MAGA-fied spin.

SEE THIS: SIGNALGATE: How Fox News Fouled Up the War Planning Chat Scandal Was More Cover-Up than Coverage

Exacerbating the level of chaos that ceaselessly swirls around the Trump regime, Dear Leader himself tossed the latest clump of kindling onto his bonfire of catastrophe. In yet another sickly sweet “interview” on a friendly MAGA media outlet, Trump made a bit news when asked by Newsmax host, Greg Kelly, if he was contemplating reparations for his January 6th insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol and put about 140 police officers in the hospital. Referring to his pardoning of more than 1,500 violent rioters, Trump boasted that “I took care of them. I said I was going to, and I did.” And then there was this exchange…

Kelly: Is there any talk of — cause they lost opportunity, they lost income — any kind of compensation fund or anything like that?
Trump: There’s talk about that. A lot of the people that are in the government now talk about it because a lot of the people in government really like that group of people. They were patriots as far as I was concerned. I talk about them a lot. They were treated very unfairly.

Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned

Oh great! It’s not enough that Trump let violent rioters who attacked the Capitol and assaulted cops go free. He’s not satisfied with indemnifying the thugs who caused millions of dollars in damage, and hunted members of Congress, and sought to hang his vice-president. Now he wants to pay them for their service to the Dark Lord.

Trump is sending a crystal clear message to any other MAGA goons out there that they don’t have to worry about suffering any legal consequences for their barbaric political plundering. What’s more, they can even profit from their callously criminal behavior. Trump is, in effect, forming a gang of mercenaries that he will arrange to be remunerated by American taxpayers to perform his acts of vengeance and sabotage, in pursuit of his mission to reign supreme as America’s first dictator.

This should scare the bejeebus out of every true American patriot who cherishes the Constitution and the principles of freedom that are protected by that document. The fact that Trump thinks that the people who smashed their way into the Capitol in order to obstruct the validation of a free and fair election deserve a payday for their treachery is incomprehensibly grotesque. That he would even consider rewarding such betrayal, and the undermining democracy, is nauseating.

Unfortunately, however, for Trump it isn’t surprising. This is consistent with his totalitarian intentions to grab power for himself, and to oppress any and all patriots who seek to preserve American liberty. Even if that means bankrolling an army of mercenaries to take the nation’s institutions by force. It’s already happening at the administrative level with Trump’s Department of Government Elimination (DOGE). He must not be allowed to expand his authoritarian aspirations into a more military role.

Trump Plants His Personal Lawyer, Alina Habba, in New Jersey as US Attorney – to Hide His Crimes?

Posted by on March 24, 2025 at 2:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The rap sheet on Donald Trump is long and troubling. He has already been convicted of 34 felonies, and 54 more have been delayed due to his reoccupation of the White House. And that isn’t even counting the civil litigation that he has lost having to do with everything from his fraudulent charities, to financial misconduct, to sexual abuse, and more.

Donald Trump, Prison

Despite his penchant for incompetence, Trump has managed to effectively manipulate the legal process in order to avoid accountability for his multitude of crimes. As a result, he has largely escaped the consequences that any other criminal would face. So much for the American principle of no one being above the law. And yet, he is still whining about the situation that he has corruptly maneuvered to his advantage.

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

Trump’s latest move to shield him from the justice that he deserves is his appointment of Alina Habba to be the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Habba has served as Trump’s personal lawyer and/or spokesperson in several cases, including the Stormy Daniels election fraud (“hush money”) case and the E. Jean Carrol sexual abuse and defamation case case. In the former Habba lost, costing Trump an $88 million settlement. In the latter she lost, costing him a whopping $450 million.

So naturally, Trump is now promoting her from his White House counsel to U.S. Attorney. Never mind that she has zero experience as a prosecutor. She never had the experience required for her other posts under Trump either. He just likes her because she’s a pretty face who likes to spend her days exalting him on Fox News. In his announcement that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, he said that…

“It is with great pleasure that I am announcing Alina Habba, Esq., who is currently serving as Counselor to the President, and has represented me for a long time, will be our interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.”

The key part of that announcement is Trump’s admission that Habba “has represented me for a long time.” It is extraordinarily uncommon for a president to put his personal lawyer into a federal prosecutor’s position. The conflict of interest could not be more obvious. And Habba herself affirms that improper association in her response…

“As you know, I’ve stood by President Trump, his family, the organization, and many other clients in that state where I’ve been born and raised, and I’m raising my babies now, but there is corruption, there is injustice, and there is a heavy amount of crime right in Cory Booker’s backyard and right under Governor Murphy, and that will stop. I look forward to working with Pam Bondi, with the Department of Justice, and making sure that we further the president’s agenda.”

Having “stood by the president and his family” is not a qualification for an unbiased federal prosecutor. Nor is “further[ing] the president’s agenda.” What’s more, Habba is parroting Trump’s penchant for pathological lying with her characterizations of crime in New Jersey. According to U.S. News and World Report, the state ranks 5th nationally for crime. And recent studies show that it is improving from there.

It is also notable that Habba engages in brazen politicization of her new office. The only names she mentions in her statement are those of Democrats Gov. Phil Murphy and Sen. Cory Booker, both of whom she maligns without any substantive justification. That is not a harbinger of fair treatment going forward from a notoriously partisan legal hack.

Trump can rest assured that Habba will never investigate any potential violations of the law committed by Trump. That’s certainly one of the main reasons he appointed her to the post in New Jersey, where he owns a golf resort, and where it has been reported that he stored some of the classified documents that he stole from the White House.

Trump is clearly fortifying the legal bunker that he has built around himself. And Habba will work closely with Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his FBI Director, Kash Patel, to block any legal motions against him, while simultaneously pursuing vindictive, meritless actions against his political foes. It’s the very same path to dictatorship that was blazed by Trump’s totalitarian heroes.

Trump’s Border Czar Confirms His (and Trump’s) Flaming Fascism in Fawning Fox News Interviews

Posted by on February 17, 2025 at 11:52 am. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump made a multitude of promises for achievements he would accomplish on day one of his second occupation of the White House. They included lowering grocery and other consumer prices, ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, freeing all of the Gaza hostages, and repealing Obamacare. To no one’s surprise, he has miserably failed to fulfill most of his campaign promises (aka lies).

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

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

There were, however, a few promises that Trump managed to deliver. None of which advanced the interests of the American people. They include cuts to funding for climate change and environmental programs, curtailing DEI initiatives, pardoning January 6th insurrectionists who assaulted Police officers, imposing tariffs on allies that will burden Americans, weaponizing the Justice Department to attack judges and political critics, and suppression of the free press.

MORE HERE: What Is America? Who Votes For This?

Perhaps Trump’s most prominent promise was his pledge to implement a program of mass deportation of migrants and refugees. It was, from the start, an inhumane response to matters regarding immigration. What’s more, it ignored the critical need for migrant workers in agriculture, construction, and healthcare. But Trump never cared about any of that.

Consequently, Trump sought to execute plans aimed at ridding America of a necessary component of its labor force. But he has even failed at that. As a result, he has dispatched his “border czar” – a darkly appropriate job title – Tom Homan, to disseminate some lies on his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Homan was interviewed by Fox’s Stuart Varney, who asked a rather simple question, but got a disturbing answer…

VARNEY: The administration said the worst of the worst were the people who would be held in Gitmo. But there’s an article in the Washington Post this morning that says some families members of those detained say they’re being falsely branded as members of Tren de Aragua. What’s your response to that?
HOMAN: That’s the Washington Post. President Trump’s been clear, we’re gonna put the worst of the worst in Gitmo. And I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: No one’s off the table. If you’re in the country illegally it’s not okay.

First of all, Homan casually dismisses the facts presented by Varney, simply because they came from the Washington Post. That’s typical of the Trump regime that is afraid to deal with reality, so they just toss it aside with infantile insults.

More to the point, Homan totally dodges the substance of the question to regurgitate tired Trump talking points. But his deflection is worth noting, When Homan says that “No one’s off the table,” he means it. So also on the table are…

  • People who have committed no crimes
  • People who are only accused but not convicted
  • American citizens wrongly apprehended
  • Family members who are here legally
  • Children and infants

They are all rounded up and incarcerated in the same facility as Al Qaeda terrorists. They have no legal rights or constitutionally mandated due process. It is the sort of police state action that is routine in Russia, China, and North Korea. All of which are authoritarian governments with leaders that Trump admires and seeks to emulate.

And if that weren’t bad enough, Homan then scurried off to another Fox News program where he implied that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was breaking the law by advising the targets of Trump’s interment operation of their civil rights. Homan went on to repeat his slander that migrants who have not had their day in court are nevertheless presumed guilty.

“”We’re talking about people that are in the country illegally, committed a crime, they’re a public safety threat, and they’ve been convicted of serious crimes.”

No, that is NOT what we’re talking about. He is only talking about people who are suspected of being in the country illegally. And even then, that is only a civil offense, not criminal. But the bigger problem is that the StormTrumpers who are apprehending people are catching citizens and other innocent people in their too broadly cast net. And even when they are told about that, that don’t care, and won’t change their actions. Because fascists don’t bother with the trivialities of the law if it gets in the way of their totalitarian aspirations.
