The Trump Regime’s Post-Iran Bombing Propaganda Party is a Sputtering Dud

Posted by on June 22, 2025 at 3:06 pm. 0 Comments :

The morning after Donald Trump ordered a bombing raid on Iran, his political troops on the domestic front fanned out to declare war on the truth, and the trust of the American people, with a campaign of propaganda to justify his unconstitutional commencement of yet another war in the Middle East that the American people oppose.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Concerned that the world wasn’t already suffering sufficient measures of tumult, Trump concluded that it was time to manufacture a new catastrophe to take some of the heat off of those he has already presided over in the first five months of his re-occupation of the White House. Particularly considering that his approval rating has been in free fall since his inauguration.

Consequently, Trump set his focus on glorifying himself As America’s War-Monger-in-Chief. Did he seek to confer with his political colleagues in Congress, or with America’s international allies? Apparently not. It appears that among the first things he did was to place a call to his shadow Chief of Staff, Sean Hannity of Fox News. Just an hour after he announced the mission to Iran, Trump was divulging details of his Iranian adventure to Hannity. Which is especially notable because he hadn’t even alerted members of the congressional Gang of Eight prior to the attack. Well, at least not the Democratic members.

An hour after Trump launched his illegal war against Iran, he was talking to – Sean Hannity of Fox News?Also, Trump told GOP members of the congressional Gang of 8 prior to the attack, but not the Democratic members. He is politicizing war! #ImpeachTrumpNOW www.mediaite.com/media/tv/i-j…

Trump also dispatched his Vice-President, JD Vance, to tell the press that the situation in Iran was so awful because of the “dumb presidents” in office for the past 25 years. Who wants to tell him that that includes his boss, Donald Trump, who was the one who was dumb enough to cancel the U.S. agreement with Iran that prohibited them from developing nuclear weapons, and mandated regular inspections?

JD Vance: "Trump's war in the Middle East is different than in the past 25 years because "back then we had dumb presidents."You mean like Trump, who was president 4 of those years? And of the 3 other presidents during that time – Bush, Obama, Biden – Trump is unquestionably the dumbest.

Also called up for duty was Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine. He promptly contradicted Trump’s glowing characterization of the success of the mission as having “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Gen. Caine had a different view of the Battle Damage Assessment (BDA).

Trump himself made time to post some comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, complimenting himself and chastising his foes. For instance, after claiming that he was enjoying “Great unity in the Republican Party,” he posted a long, rambling diatribe attacking fellow Republican Thomas Massie, saying that he is…

“…not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes ‘NO,’ no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded ‘grandstander.’ […] MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!”

Which is peculiar considering that when Massie was up for reelection Trump gushed that he was “a ‘Conservative Warrior’ and a ‘first-rate Defender of the Constitution,’ who has ‘my complete and total endorsement.'” Trump likely changed his opinion after Massie expressed his opposition to both Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” and the Iran bombing that he correctly said was unconstitutional. And Massie was not alone among the allegedly united GOP>

All of this is going on as Trump is swirling in a death spiral of unpopularity. Just prior to his Iran action, news reports revealed that his polling has sunk to new depths. As Newsweek reported, “Donald Trump’s approval rating is underwater in 15 states he won in 2024, including all seven swing states.”

“In key battlegrounds such as Michigan (-11), Nevada (-12), North Carolina (-8), Wisconsin (-13), Arizona (-12), Pennsylvania (-12), and Georgia (-6), Trump’s net approval rating—the percentage of voters who approve of him minus those who disapprove—is firmly negative.” […]

“Beyond the swing states, Trump is also underwater in other states he carried in 2024, including Texas (-8), Ohio (-6), and Utah (-5). Trump’s net approval ratings are also slightly negative in Missouri (-2), Indiana (-3), Florida (-3), Kansas (-4), and Iowa (-4). This means that in 15 states Trump carried in 2024, his net approval rating now stands below zero.”

Gee…Do you think this might have had anything to do with Trump’s decision to bomb Iran? Do you think he knows anything about wagging the dog?

Scaredy Trump Lashes Out Maniacally at the One Woman on Fox News Who Dares to Defy His MAGA-STY

Posted by on June 21, 2025 at 11:59 am. 0 Comments :

The most prominent elements of what will become the legacy of Donald Trump are already carved in stone. He will forever be remembered for his pathological lying, his cloying narcissism, his craven cruelty toward the downtrodden, his thirst for vengeance, his rancid racism, his demand for unfettered loyalty, and his autocratic quest for absolute power.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

And those are his good points. Perhaps a lesser known, but still annoying, trait of Trump’s so-called personality is his notorious penchant for whining. There has never been an American leader who is so perpetually cranky, complaining about every perceived criticism or failure to exhibit unflinching adoration. He even brags about being “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. There’s video…

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

Snowflake Trump was triggered again this weekend when he was watching his Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – and was struck by the commentary of Jessica Tarlov, one of the co-hosts of Fox’s “The Five.” Tarlov is the sole liberal on a program featuring four Trump-fluffing conservatives who constantly interrupt and insult her. Yet somehow she soldiers on with honest, well researched rebuttals to their barrage of bullshit.

Which is what must have set Trump off when he posted a long, rambling, and incoherent harangue on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth social, maligning Tarlov. He began by grousing that…

“Why does Fox News allow failed TV personality Jessica Tarlov to ‘soil’ The Five? Her voice, her manner, and above all else, what she says, are a disgrace to television broadcasting.”

Poor crybaby Trump can’t handle Fox News permitting just one person on the program who doesn’t worship him. Especially if it’s a woman. He doesn’t go off like this on Harold Ford Jr, who swaps the liberal seat on the program with Tarlov. So he unleashes his typically infantile invectives about Tarlov’s voice and manner, but never approaches any rebuttal to what she actually said. That’s only because A) Tarlov’s arguments are too well-rooted in facts, and B) Trump is too stupid to form a coherent rebuttal.

For the record, Tarlov is not a “failed TV personality.” Unless Trump thinks that having an eight year long career on his favorite network is failing. What’s more, she’s a graduate of Bryn Mawr College and has a doctorate in political science and government from the London School of Economics. Which explains why Trump can’t keep up with her or respond substantively to what she says. So instead, makes up things to brag about…

“I’ve had the best poll numbers that I’ve ever had, and she is constantly saying the exact opposite. The just out highly respected Rasmussen Poll is at 56%, Insider Advantage 54%, and many others are at 56% to 68%! “Sadly, the audience has to listen to her spew off that I am doing poorly in the polls, while I am beating the democrats by 15%+ points and, more importantly, I just won an election against two candidates, Sleepy Joe and Kamala, in a Landslide””

Everyone in the polling business knows that Rasmussen and Insider Advantage are two of the most disreputable pollsters who reliably produce garbage that is brazenly pro-Trump. And Trump’s repetitious refrain that he won the 2024 election in a “landslide” is evidence of his acute mental infirmity. It was one of the narrowest victories in modern history. Every other pollster has Trump in the low 40s or high 30s, including the Fox News poll.

Why is Trump FREAKING OUT now?According to a new Fox News poll, Trump is underwater on everything but the border. And his approval on immigration is almost universally negative.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-19T17:27:30.029Z

But Trump wasn’t finished. He took a few more wild swings at Tarlov that were equally devoid of any substance….

“Nobody can stand Tarlov! She lies over and over again, and MAGA is complaining, BIG LEAGUE, that she’s all over Fox. […] People like Jessica Tarlov make MAGA absolutely hate Fox!”

Despite Trump’s assertion that Tarlov “lies over and over again,” he couldn’t provide a single example. However, he’s probably on sturdier ground when he says that “MAGA is complaining” about Tarlov. That’s how most cult members behave when they are confronted by a reality that they can’t comprehend. And if Trump hates Fox News (which he says often that he does), then so do they. It’s a closed loop belief system that promotes loopy beliefs.

SRSLY? Trump is Still Obsessed with His 2020 Election Loss and is Demanding a Special Prosecutor

Posted by on June 20, 2025 at 12:17 pm. 2 Comments :

It has been nearly five years since Joe Biden committed the unspeakably humiliating act against Donald Trump by decisively beating him in the election of 2020. What was he thinking? That tragic episode in Trump’s life has had an enduring impact on his mental health and his ability to cope with reality.

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

Donald Trump

A lot has happened since then. Most notably, there were four years of relief from the daily tumult and chaos that characterized Trump’s incoherent style of governing. Much of the damage he caused was effectively undone, and the people’s business was attended to in a manner that advanced their interests and welfare.

However, that relief would be short lived as, somehow, Trump managed to get himself reelected in 2024 to resume his deconstruction of American democracy. Which isn’t going very well for him…

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Something that has not changed is that the deranged anxieties that consume Trump continue to roil his fragile emotional state. Despite the fact that there are numerous domestic and international crises in progress – Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, recession, civil unrest, and more – Trump is busy massaging his acute narcissism and struggling to pacify his bruised ego over the 2020 defeat that he clings to obsessively.

On Friday morning he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exposed just how desperately he is controlled by his compulsion to not be perceived as the loser he is. He lashed out at…

Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a ‘LANDSLIDE!’ Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

It hardly needs to be reiterated that Trump obviously did not win “by a LANDSLIDE,” or at all, in 2020. Neither do we need to dwell on his rants about Biden’s competence, when he has a record of historic achievement. And if Trump had any “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of the “total fraud” he alleges, why hasn’t he produced any of it in court, or anywhere else?

Trump’s demand that a special prosecutor be assigned to this non-existent scandal is preposterous. Particularly when there is no legal or even rational basis for it. What’s more, it is unethical for a president to make such a demand directing his Justice Department to persecute a political foe. And it is also notable that Trump has previously argued that special counsels are unconstitutional. But that apparently only applies to those investigating him.

This is what an authoritarian ruler would do to clamp down on his opponents. Which is precisely the problem with Trump. He has long been envious of the kind of power wielded by his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And when he refers to the behavior of a “Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES” as being “grossly indescribable,” it is clear that he is employing projection and is actually referring to himself. With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Posted by on June 19, 2025 at 12:47 pm. 0 Comments :

The responsibilities of the American president are always an extraordinarily weighty burden. The strength of the nation’s economy, the stability of its foreign relations, the administration of its laws, the defense of its international interests, the health and welfare of its people, are all part of the broad portfolio of the person commonly referred to as the most powerful leader on Earth.

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

Donald Trump, Wah

Consequently, it is comforting to know that America’s president is always on active duty, seeing to the needs of the nation and addressing its international obligations. For example, Donald Trump is currently laser focused on the most critical matters facing him today, such as erecting giant flag poles at the White House, deploying the military against peaceful demonstrators who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, and staging parades to celebrate his birthday, while simultaneously putting fear into the hearts of our foes.

SEE THIS: Russia Trolls Trump’s Birthday Parade, Turning it Into $45 Million of Anti-American Propaganda

On Thursday morning Trump was hard at work again at one of his most important tasks, posting comments to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion he was compelled to write about the imminent threat of war with Iran, who was already engaged in a deadly conflict with America’s ally Israel.

Just kidding. Trump hasn’t posted a single word about Iran in two days. Although he did mention it to reporters, to whom he said that “No one knows what I’ll do,” so “I’ll do whatever I want.” What Trump was actually posting today was a temper tantrum aimed at his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. He raged in part that…

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.”

So that’s why “MAGA HATES Fox News.” Because they occasionally release a poll that isn’t adoringly worshipful of Dear Leader Trump. Daffy Don went on to complain that Fox News uses an “incompetent polling company,” as evidenced by their results showing that he got only “a little more than 50% at the Border.”

That alone would be enough to trigger Trump’s hissy fit. However, he left out some pertinent details that surely played a role in his hysterics. The Fox News poll also revealed that Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” had an approval rating of only 38%, while 59% opposed it. And his overall job approval stands at 46%, with 54% disapproving.

That can’t be helping to elevate his mood above its normal state ranging from cranky grandpa to raving lunatic. And the rest of the data from Fox’s poll could only make him even more furious. He is in negative territory on every issue other than the border. And that includes immigration where his failings are seen in almost every poll that asked the question.

Why is Trump FREAKING OUT now?According to a new Fox News poll, Trump is underwater on everything but the border. And his approval on immigration is almost universally negative.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-19T17:27:30.029Z

Given the abysmal polling that Trump is suffering through, it’s no wonder that a malignant narcissist like Trump would ignore minor inconveniences like impending war, recession, and the end of American democracy. His attention needs to be directed at whether or not his MAGA cult still loves him, and how to get his media flunkies to praise him with even more slobbering devotion.

Not ot worry, though. Trump will get around to Iran eventually. Or as his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said today, in about two weeks. No, really…

Everything with Trump is "two weeks." Now that includes his decision on whether to take America to war with Iran. He never follows through.Let's hope he fails again on this one. Although he is desperate to change narrative in the media that is all negative for him.

Gov. Newsom Slams Trump for His New Official Federal Funding Requirement: Sucking Up to Trump

Posted by on June 18, 2025 at 2:15 pm. 0 Comments :

The malignant narcissism of Donald Trump has been observed by many mental health professionals for as long as he has been a public figure. It is the central driving force of his belligerence and hostility toward anyone who is even mildly critical of him, or less than unflinchingly worshipful.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

Trump’s egomaniacal behavior is evident in nearly every thing he says and does. Longtime Trump watchers were aware of his self-centered maliciousness when he was posing as a Manhattan real estate mogul, when he playacted as a successful businessman while hosting a reality TV game show, and most disturbingly, during his past and current occupations of the White House. Through it all he was unable to disguise his severe cognitive infirmities.

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

So no one should be surprised that Trump’s priorities for implementing policies are most closely associated with his personal perceptions of how reverentially he is treated by others. And just to make it crystal clear, Trump has formally announced it to the world in statement he made to the press on Wednesday morning. The decree came in his answer to a question from a reporter about whether there would be any impact on his allocation of wildfire relief in California as a result of his contentious relationship with Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump’s reply and Newsom’s response follow (video below). Trump raged that…

“Yeah, maybe. The man is incompetent…Hatred is never a good thing in politics. Where you don’t like somebody, you don’t respect somebody, it’s harder for that person to get money if you’re on top.”

And there you have it. After rambling incoherently about “cleaning the forests,” Trump admitted that he doesn’t care about the welfare of the American people. He doesn’t care about those who have suffered from natural disasters or other misfortunes. He will only provide assistance if he actually likes the governor or the residents of the state where those people happened to live when misfortune struck them. And if he doesn’t like them, to hell with them. To that Newsom said…

“Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people…Only a truly disturbed person would threaten to withhold aid from victims because they don’t like someone.”

This isn’t the first time that Trump has publicly revealed that his personal opinion of the potential recipients of largesse from the U.S. government would determine whether any funds would be forthcoming. He said the same thing just yesterday with regard to the dispensation of foreign aid, telling UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that “The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them, that’s why.”

This is classic Trump. If he likes you, he – not America – will protect you. But he will stop liking you if you criticize him.For the record, he likes dictators such as Putin, Xi, Kim, and Orbán. He doesn't like democratic leaders such as Macron, Carney, Sheinbaum, or Zelenskyy.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-17T09:58:32.889Z

This also isn’t the first swipe that Trump has taken at Gov. Newsom. Trump has been rattled by what he falsely claims are “riots” in Los Angeles, but are actually mostly peaceful demonstrations against Trump’s unconstitutional deployments of the National Guard and Marines against Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to “redress grievances.” Trump them blamed the ensuing chaos on Gov. Newsom and called for him to be arrested. To that, Newsom had an appropriate response that spelled out the imminent threat that Trump represents to American democracy.

The lesson from all of this is that Trump does indeed aspire to authoritarian control of the country, and that any soft-pedaling of that threat is dangerously naïve. Trump should be removed from office as quickly as possible, through either impeachment or the invocation of the 25th Amendment declaring him unfit to serve. Any delay will only accelerate the potential for harm.

The Putin Whisperer: Trump Brags that ‘Putin Speaks to Me, He Doesn’t Speak to Anybody Else’

Posted by on June 16, 2025 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The steamy romance between Donald Trump and his favorite authoritarian dictator (besides himself), Vladimir Putin, has been a staple of the gossip rags for years. Trump is hopelessly infatuated with the Russian tyrant who can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes. Throughout his occupation of the White House, Trump has never uttered an unkind word about his hero and mentor.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

No matter what is happening on the ground, Trump praises Putin and viciously maligns anyone who dares to oppose him. For instance, Trump heralds the savage invader Putin as a peacemaker, while castigating Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as a dictator who wants the war, that is slaughtering his people, to continue. But despite Trump’s slobbering fealty to Putin, the feeling is not mutual. Putin recently mocked Trump’s vanity birthday parade…

SEE THIS: Russia Trolls Trump’s Birthday Parade, Turning it Into $45 Million of Anti-American Propaganda

On Monday morning Trump arrived in Canada for a meeting of the G7 nations. Naturally, he established himself as the pariah of the group in an early press avail with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. In the few minutes that they spoke to the press Trump managed to insult his hosts and lie profusely about why Russia wasn’t there…

“Putin speaks to me, he doesn’t speak to anybody else, because he was very insulted when he got thrown out of the G8. As you would be. As I would be. He was very insulted. He was thrown out by Trudeau, who convinced one or two people, along with Obama. He was thrown out and he’s not a happy person about it, I can tell you that. He doesn’t even speak to the people who threw him out. And I agree with him.”

TRUMP: "Putin speaks to me. He doesn't speak to anybody else."Trump is insulting his Canadian hosts while slobbering all over his BFF/boss, Vladimir Putin.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-16T17:54:10.719Z

It’s rather chilling that Trump boasts of his alliance with Putin as if he were his public relations agent and the only path to communicating with him. But it’s typical that Trump shows concern for Putin’s hurt feelings. If Putin felt insulted by being ousted from the G7, maybe he shouldn’t have invaded a peaceful neighboring country.

What’s more, Trump is displaying either his dishonesty or his ignorance or his ignorant dishonesty, when he complains about former PM Justin Trudeau throwing Putin out of the G7. Because in 2014 when Russia was ousted from the group, the Conservative Party’s Stephen Harper was the Canadian PM. And Obama didn’t need to be convinced to cast Russia out. He was a leader of the initiative. Finally, it wasn’t “one or two people” who wanted Russia removed. It was a unanimous decision by all seven of the other member nations.

Then, after lying about Trudeau, Obama, and the G7, Trump repeated his frequent lie that “you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in. And you wouldn’t have a war right now if I were president four years ago.” He says that about virtually every international incident from Ukraine, to Gaza, to Iran, and more. Never mind that his own words contradict that egocentric nonsense…

SEE ALSO: Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

Trump’s confession that Putin speaks through him obviates the need for Putin to be readmitted to the G7. Why bother if Trump is there to speak for him? And no one is more devoted to the interests of Putin and Russia than Trump himself. So before Putin goes back into the G7, he should go to The Hague and be tried for war crimes. And Trump can go along as his defense counsel – or co-defendant.

Russia Trolls Trump’s Birthday Parade, Turning it Into $45 Million of Anti-American Propaganda

Posted by on June 15, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 1 Comments :

The post-mortem on The military parade that Donald Trump staged to celebrate his 79th birthday did not turn out to be the sort of tribute that he hoped for. The attendance didn’t get anywhere near the 250,000 MAGA cult devotees that his press flacks predicted. Trump couldn’t even get very many of his congressional Republican sycophants to show up.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

These poor results look even worse when compared to the estimated five million American patriots who came out in support of the “No Kings” demonstrations held in more than 2,000 cities to oppose Trump’s authoritarian aspirations. And if he thought that there would be a silent majority cheering for him on their sofas at home, he is going to be sorely disappointed by that as well.

SEE THIS: Trump Hypes His Puerile ‘Perade’ as TV Networks and the Weather Conspire to Depose His MAGA-STY

Sadly, Trump’s failure and broad-based unpopularity rubbed off on the proud soldiers who were compelled to participate in his charade …er… parade. It wasn’t their fault that Trump tried to feed his ego by forcing them to perform as pawns in his partisan political pageant. And it wasn’t their fault that he organized it so poorly. However, they unfairly suffered from the fallout of his ignorance and incompetence.

One particularly disturbing consequence of Trump’s antics was that his good buddy, Vladimir Putin, was able to take advantage of his folly to the detriment of the troops and America’s dignity. The Russian media quickly filled with images of Trump’s birthday bash in a decidedly negative light…

Russia is trolling Trump's vanity birthday parade. So he just spent $45 million to buy Vladimir Putin some anti-America propaganda material. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace(Via bsky.app/profile/juli…: Captions say "How Trump imagined his parade / What he actually saw")

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-15T18:05:19.676Z

The American people can’t be thrilled that Trump sunk $45 million into material for Russia to embark on a propaganda campaign to mock America. And they did it with an emphasis on how pathetically Trump attempted to emulate the sort of military spectacle that Russia specializes in. While Trump has long craved to produce a similar affair, he didn’t bother to insure that he could pull it off.

The result is that Trump has embarrassed America in the eyes of the world. Not that Trump will ever see it that way. Because his only reviews of the event will come from his own toadies or those on Fox News. Speaking of which, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends are already on the job. Co-host Lawrence Jones interviewed Trump’s former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and asked him whether Trump “put fear in the hearts.” of America’s adversaries who watched this parade…

Jones: What does this say to our enemies as well? Because they’re watching. They’re always watching. Does it put fear in their hearts knowing that this is a president that is willing to rebuild the military, right?
Wolf: Yeah, no doubt. […] I think our adversaries around the world know President Trump means business.

Yeah, no doubt. Judging from the video above, that’s exactly how Russia sees things. They are quaking with fear due to the visage of the Mango Monarch and his exhibition of extraordinary manliness. We can now expect Putin to surrender and pull his troops out of Ukraine, and pressure his allies in Iran to submit to Israel. Any minute now.

Trump Hypes His Puerile ‘Perade’ as TV Networks and the Weather Conspire to Depose His MAGA-STY

Posted by on June 14, 2025 at 11:56 am. 1 Comments :

The big day has finally arrived when Donald Trump gets his long craved charade …er… parade paying homage to his self-declared magnificence. Although it may not materialize in quite the way that he imagined. In his pursuit to be coronated as America’s first monarch, Trump has been doing his best to earn the title. And as usual, his best is pretty damn pitiful.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

In just the last week “King” Trump has deployed Marines to the streets of Los Angeles, called for Gov. Gavin Newsom to be arrested, said nothing when the Speaker of the House called for Newsom to be tarred and feathered, directed the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and the indictment of Rep. LaMonica McIver, approved of Sen. Alex Padilla being tackled and handcuffed by his FBI, and flip-flpped on his own mass deportation policy.

SEE THIS: TACO Trump Chickens Out on His Mass Deportation Plans When it Affects Him and His Wealthy Pals

So imagine how disappointed Trump will be when his parade is received with less than the unanimous acclaim of his loyal subjects. Much less. Consequently, he is pulling out all the stops to promote the event. Recognizing that God is among the conspirators plotting to spoil his birthday bash, he posted the following comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to encourage his faithful to attend, despite the dangerous weather forecast. Unfortunately, his inbred ignorance resulted in his promotion of a “perade.”

TRUMP: "A rainy day PERADE brings good luck." ?In that case, best of luck today, birthday baby.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-14T16:08:27.633Z

What’s more, Trump’s persistent need to be the center of attention at all times is at risk of going unfulfilled. According to Variety, “ABC News, NBC News and CBS News are unlikely to pre-empt regular TV programming for coverage of the event.” And according to Politico only seven of the 50 members of Congress they asked say they will be attending the affair.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of “NO KINGS” demonstrations that are also taking place today are already drawing massive crowds and nationwide television coverage. All of this is working to the disadvantage of the petulant president. As reported here last week…

“Trump has been on the receiving end of some decidedly bad news lately. For instance, his bitter break up with billionaire pal Elon Musk; his failure to fulfill his promise to bring peace to Ukraine or Gaza; his assault on academic freedom and free speech at universities such as Harvard; his recessionary tariffs; and his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that may be big, but is grotesquely ugly and detrimental to most Americans. Consequently, Trump is desperately trying to change the subject.”

Sadly for Trump, his deflections are failing miserably. But then, it’s awfully difficult to pretend that you aren’t aspiring to impose yourself as authoritarian royalty when you have also posted pictures of yourself like this…

This is picture that Trump posted of himself wearing a crown with the caption "Long Live the King."And it is why millions of Americans are participating in "NO KINGS" day.

TACO Trump Chickens Out on His Mass Deportation Plans When it Affects Him and His Wealthy Pals

Posted by on June 12, 2025 at 3:26 pm. 1 Comments :

The unconstitutional, anti-American, and profoundly cruel immigration policies of Donald Trump and his fascist regime have proven to be a complete catastrophe. They do not further any goal of advancing the law, the safety, or the economic welfare of the nation or its residents.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

The only things that Trump’s totalitarian tactics accomplish are destabilizing communities, frightening families, bankrupting businesses, instilling distrust in authorities, and causing irreparable harm to individuals who don’t warrant such harsh, inhumane treatment. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom detailed some of this in a speech earlier this week.

SEE THIS: California Gov. Gavin Newsom Spells Out the Imminent Threat that Trump Represents, and the Solution

Many politicians, economists, labor experts, and diplomats, have alerted Trump and his cronies to the obvious damage that his villainous impropriety causes. But typical of Trump, he doesn’t care until there is some impact on him or someone whose interests he is serving. Which is apparently what triggered Trump’s comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, on Thursday morning. He wrote that…

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

There’s a lot of steaming bullpucky in that paragraph. For instance, it contains the first ever acknowledgement by Trump that some of the undocumented migrants in this country are “very good workers” who would be “impossible to replace” However, the only reason that Trump expresses any interest in them is because his wealthy pals in agribusiness have been whining about the adverse economic effects of his repugnant mass deportation schemes. And he adds “the Hotel and Leisure business,” because that’s Trump’s business.

So suddenly something has to be done about it to keep Trump and his friends from suffering financially. It’s emblematic of the TACO label that has recently been attached to him: “Trump Always Chickens Out!” In this case he folded at the behest of his billionaire buddies. Trump doesn’t explain why the same thing isn’t true for workers in restaurants, or factories, or construction, or healthcare, or landscaping, or even to students.

Trump went on to say that if farm workers are deported they will be replaced by criminals. He has absolutely zero evidence of that happening anywhere, but pathological liars don’t need evidence. And it seems unlikely that criminals have aspirations to move to rural areas where they can do hard labor in the fields. This is just further proof that Trump’s brain is severely dysfunctional. And he confirmed that diagnosis in an exchange with Fox News correspondent, Peter Doocy, later the same day…

Doocy: What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?
Trump: Well, we’re not targeting. In fact, if you look today I put out a statement about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt badly by – you know they have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for twenty years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that. We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have.

Q: “What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?”Trump: “Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers…They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-06-12T18:11:56.443Z

Notice that Trump misunderstood the question, failing to grasp that Doocy was asking about the change in targeting. But he also failed to answer the question which inquired as to why he changed his mind. Does he even know that he did change his mind?

What’s more, while Trump conceded that there is a problem, he neglected to suggest anything that resembled a solution. But in his defense, that’s only because he’s too cognitively deficient to have solutions to any problem. All he has is hostility and vengeance and greed and an aberrant lust for power.

UPDATE: On Thursday evening Trump posted a new comment to follow up his Thursday morning comment above. This one said that…

“The Biden Administration and Governor Newscum flooded America with 21 Million Illegal Aliens, destroying Schools, Hospitals and Communities, and consuming untold Billions of Dollars in Free Welfare. All of them have to go home.”

Is this what he meant by “Changes are coming”? So Trump has returned to his original stance where all migrants must be expelled. Is this what he meant by “Changes are coming”? And is he abandoning his concern for the farmers and hoteliers who just yesterday he was worried would be adversely impacted? Or is his hate and bigotry stronger than his servility to the rich and his greed?

Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, Tries and Fails to Justify Trump’s War on Los Angeles

Posted by on June 10, 2025 at 1:26 pm. 0 Comments :

From the day that Donald Trump first nominated Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense, it was widely viewed as a dangerously inappropriate proposal to elevate a completely unqualified Fox News weekend host with a history of abusing both alcohol and women.

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Hegseth’s experience for the job that Trump sought to give him was his junior officer ranking in the Army twenty years ago, and his management of two military related non-profits that both fired him for his incompetence and malfeasance. But he met Trump’s prerequisites, which were that he would do or say anything that Trump told him without regard to the truth or the welfare of the nation, and that he looked good on TV.

SEE THIS: Pete Hegseth Spends Thousands for a Pentagon Makeup Studio to Fortify America’s Military Might

Following Trump’s declaration of war against the City of Los Angeles, Hegseth appeared before the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. His testimony was about as rife with ignorance and dereliction as one would expect from such an unfit official. He came utterly unprepared for the inquiry that he knew he would face. That includes not having any data regarding the Pentagon’s budget proposal that the Appropriations Committee was expecting.

To make matters worse, Hegseth was also stumped by questions he should have anticipated. Particularly those about Trump’s unlawful deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in response to an overwhelmingly peaceful protest against the hostile excesses of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) in Los Angeles. And in an exchange with Rep. Pete Aguilar, Hegseth provided a chilling demonstration of just how clueless he is about his duties…

Rep. Aguilar: The legal basis that the president used cites three examples in circumstances for the Guard. Invasion by a foreign nation; a rebellion or dangerous rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States; or the president is unable with regular forces to execute the laws of the United States. Which authority is triggered here to justify the use?
Hegseth: I don’t know. You just read it yourself, and people can listen themselves. But it sounds like all three to me.

"Sounds like all three to me" — Pete Hegseth suggests the United States is under invasion by a foreign nation, prompting the need for troops in Los Angeles

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-10T15:34:58.019Z

REALLY? Let’s examine these one at a time, shall we?

Invasion By a Foreign Nation:
There is no evidence whatsoever that any foreign nation had invaded the United States. Hegseth mentioned the presence of some Mexican flags, but that does not infer that the government of Mexico had anything to do with the protests, and they certainly did not. There were no Mexican troops or military assets deployed to take over the U.S. The notion is downright preposterous.

A Rebellion Against the Authority of the Government of the United States:
None of the protesters came anywhere near attempting to usurp the authority of the U.S. government. They were merely exercising their rights as stated in the First Amendment to the Constitution to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Which can only be seen as a rebellion by the tyrannical tendencies of the Trump administration, where Trump regards anything critical of him as treason.

The President is Unable With Regular Forces to Execute the Laws of the United States.
The leadership provided by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, were more than sufficient to deal with the sometimes rowdy behavior of a few protesters. If Trump was invoking this excuse for his military incursion, than he was, in effect, conceding that he was the one who was unable to execute the laws that he swore to uphold. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone, considering that he literally admitted that he doesn’t believe he has any obligation to do so.

Later in his testimony, Hegseth was asked about the costs associated with the deployment of troops to clamp down on the people’s right to protest. He tried to dodge the question, but was pressed on it until he finally allowed an aide to provide the answer…

“After persistent questioning about the cost of sending National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration raids, Hegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who said it would cost $134 million.”

With that amount of money, we could house and feed more than 4,000 homeless veterans for a year. We could provide more than 9,000 veterans with healthcare for a year. Or we could oppress and intimidate a few hundred advocates for migrants’ civil rights for a month. Spending money on this deployment is an even worse allocation of funds than Trump’s ludicrous and vain $45 million birthday parade that he’s throwing for himself in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. For which he is also threatening anyone who dares to protest it.

Hegseth is not the only member of Trump’s Quack Cabinet to malign the protesters in Los Angeles. His Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, also took a swipe at them and wound up hitting the entire population of the city, saying that L.A. “is not a city of Immigrants, it’s a city of criminals.” Really? All 4,000,000 of them?

However, the views of Noem and Hegseth are not shared by the American people. A new poll has found that “47% of U.S. adults disapprove of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval…45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.”

Not that Trump or his cronies care about what the American people think. But maybe this will get some Republicans in Congress to grow a spine and reject Trump’s totalitarianism. Keep hope alive.
