What 1st Amendment? Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Imaginary Crimes Against Dear Leader

Posted by on July 1, 2025 at 3:23 pm. NO Comments :

The determination of Donald Trump to exert tyrannical control over the media that he despises has taken another turn for the worse. He is now not only insulting them as “fake” news, or demeaning them as “the enemy of the people,” or suing them on preposterous charges of defamation. He has escalated his wrath to outright threats of prosecution.

Donald Trump, CNN

Bear in mind that Trump has not identified any actual crime that anyone in the press has committed. He has never needed any such trivialities as prosecutable offenses to backup his wild accusations. Trump merely babbles maniacally about some imagined illegality and expects his cult devotees to follow blindly.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

Trump participated in a staged photo-op in Florida to visit a new migrant detention facility that features alligator infested surrounding waters. Of course, the alligators have no impact whatsoever on the security of the facility. But the gruesome cruelty of the notion of migrants – including children – being ripped to shreds delights the sickly morbidity of the MAGA crowd.

During the press conference Trump was asked questions about some of his other inhumane and unconstitutional mass deportation initiatives. One in particular addressed a news report by CNN about a publicly available app that advised people of where ICE agents were conducting operations. Which led to the following exchange…

Question: CNN yesterday pushed an app that lets you track where ICE agents are. [Border czar] Tom Homan said that perhaps CNN should be prosecuted for that. Your Thoughts?
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. Because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.
Trump: And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports.

Trump on CNN: "They may be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran."

DHS Secretary Noem’s assertion that CNN engaged in some illegal activity has no basis in reality. They are entirely within their rights to report on the existence of an app that is available for anyone to download. That is journalism, not promotion. They never “encouraged” anyone to use the app. And it’s purpose is merely to notify the public about activities that ICE agents are openly engaging in. Which is also legal.

Trump went further – and wildly off-topic – to threaten CNN with prosecution for “having given false reports on the attack in Iran.” Once again, it is only Trump’s opinion that the reports were false. CNN derived the information from Trump’s own intelligence team. As previously reported, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, complained about CNN for…

“…accurately reporting what Trump’s own intel professionals said about the results of the air strikes. They revealed that, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, Iran’s nuclear capabilities had only been damaged partially, and that they could be rebuilt within months.”

So CNN’s reporting was correct. However, even if it were not, that isn’t illegal either. News organizations are allowed to make make mistakes, and corrections when necessary. In this case it wasn’t necessary. But if Trump still wasn’t satisfied, he could file another wholly unwarranted lawsuit for defamation. But he cannot issue criminal indictments. CNN replied to these anti-constitutional threats saying that…

“There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN.”

Trump’s use of intimidation against the media is more proof of his penchant for fascism. He would love to throw journalists in jail for reporting the truth about him. He has also been threatening political foes with arrest. Just in the past 48 hours he has mused about arresting Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, and Alejandro Mayorkas, the former Secretary of Homeland Security, and he indicated his openness to deporting Elon Musk, his former BFF and DOGE chief.

Trump’s threats of prosecuting journalists, along with his civil litigation, are long standing obsessions that reveal his hatred of the Constitution and its First Amendment protections. And it is a troubling signal of his intentions to control the media and form a fascist regime that won’t tolerate a free press or free thought. At this point in the process, he isn’t even trying to hide it. Which means that it is more imperative than ever to resist him and his authoritarian aspirations. The welfare of the country is at stake.

Trump’s Press Secretary Obediently Parrots Dear Leader’s Lie that Zohran Mamdani is a Communist

Posted by on June 30, 2025 at 3:18 pm. 1 Comments :

The role of the White House press secretary used to be to inform the public about the president’s policies, initiatives, schedule, and opinions. It was a position that respected the critical part that journalists play in sustaining democracy, and cherished the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of the free press.

Donald Trump Yelling at Karoline Leavitt

Sadly, in the Era of Trump, the press secretary has become just another functionary mouthpiece for the Kremlin-like Politburo that Trump has formed in the West Wing of the White House. Trump’s current Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has distinguished herself as a reliable purveyor of partisan bullpucky as she transforms the irregular press briefings into a platform for the ultra-rightist MAGA ministry and shameless Trump-fluffing Internet trolls.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary Pledges to Plant Pro-Trump Crackpots in the White House Press Room

On Monday morning Leavitt was asked about the recently elected Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani. Her response was typically littered with lies. But she went even farther down the rabid hole to smear Mamdani as a communist who condemns American values, saying that he is…

“Someone who is quite literally a communist and condemns every value that makes this country great, common sense, law and order, low taxes, working hard, earning your keep in this country, he is against all of that, and I think the president would find it difficult to work with someone like that if he is elected.”

Leavitt’s rant is spectacularly absurd and dishonest. First of all, Mamdani is not a communist. But you have to forgive Leavitt because she surely couldn’t define the word if her life depended on it. She is simply regurgitating the words of her master, Donald the Demented, who has called Mamdani “a 100% Communist Lunatic.” Trump has even blatant lied that Mamdani admitted to being a communist, which he never did. However, Trump virtually admitted to his own intention to act like a communist dictator by promising that, if Mamdani is elected, “he’s gonna have to do the right thing or they’re not getting any money.”

Trump actually believes that the federal treasury is his personal piggy bank, and he can disburse funds as he sees fit to his friends, or withhold them from his foes. For him to malign anyone else as communist is pure projection. He is accusing others of what he himself is doing.

Throughout the few short months of his second occupation of the White House, Trump has patterned himself after his heroes, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. His immigration thugs capturing migrants and sending them to foreign gulags; his Justice Department indicting Democrats and firing attorneys who prosecuted Trump or his allies; his hostility toward the media that he regards as “the enemy of the people;” these are all behaviors of a wannabe tyrant.

In addition to Leavitt’s ignorant name-calling, she is also open to the bizarre and racist idea of denaturalizing Mamdani so that they can deport him. Once again, that’s the way that dictators solve political problems. So naturally the Trump administration is exploring it. And it may be what we should expect in the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028.

What’s more, Trump is not only interested in deporting his opponents, he also believes that he could run for a third term, despite the Constitution prohibiting it. And yet, he is accusing Mamdani of being a communist? All of this would make for a terrible movie plot, because no one would consider it believable. But somehow, Republicans still don’t think that Trump is unfit for office. What would he have to do to convince them? Screw a porn star? Get a jet from Qatar? Shoot somebody on 5th Avenue?

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

Posted by on June 29, 2025 at 12:50 pm. NO Comments :

The deteriorating mental state of Donald Trump is becoming impossible to ignore, even for some of his most ardent sycophants. Not that they will muster the courage to challenge him. But there is clearly a widening gap between the explosive dia-rhetoric that Trump is disgorging, and what passes for reality amongst the rest of his party, and more broadly, the rest of America.

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

Donald Trump

The unmooring of what remains of Trump’s sanity has been evident in his raving and deranged outbursts regarding the promotion of his wildly unpopular, so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB), that adds billions to the deficit and removes millions from their health insurance. It’s evident in the delusional math that he applies to his tariffs, that will be paid by American companies and consumers. It’s evident in his hype following the bombing of Iran, that he says “completely obliterated” their nuclear facilities, in contradiction of independent analysis and even his own intelligence staff.

Trump is so far removed from the real world that only his most devoted cult followers can accept his ludicrous lapses of cognition.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

In a late night bout of hysterics on Saturday, Trump unleashed a rambling, incoherent eruption of animus toward his perceived enemies, who always seem to be fellow Americans. On this occasion it was Democrats who oppose his “Big Ugly Bullsh*t” that were on the receiving end of his unhinged wrath. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was typical of his fevered hate-speech, saying that…

“Republicans must remember that they are fighting against a very evil, corrupt and, in many ways, incompetent (Policywise!) group of people.”

It’s notable that Trump only speaks this way about Americans. He would never say such things about Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping. He went on lie that…

“The Democrats would LOVE to see the Biggest Tax Hike in History (68%!), No Border Spending (Open Borders!), and a weak, underfunded Military.”

Of course, none of that remotely resembles anything that Democrats have advocated. It’s all inventions of Trump’s diseased mind. And he wasn’t finished. He added a bizarre complaint that Democrats “have House and Senate Rules that give Great Power to their Leaders – Committee Chairmanships.” But as Democrats are currently in the minority in Congress, they aren’t making the rules and they have no committee chairmanships at all.

Trump then segued to bragging about his fellow MAGA Republicans that he said are “wonderful people and phenomenal Policy, and that should win Elections every single time!” That came as he was simultaneously trashing GOP senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul for not voting for his BBB. Then Trump posted another comment railing against Democrats “because they’re nasty people who actually hate our Country.”

Trump’s demeaning of Democrats as hating the country is another example of his psychotic projection, wherein he accuses others of having his own emotional maladies. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he has a propensity for hatred. He hates the Constitution that he regularly dismisses and defiles. He hates America’s allies, but loves its enemies. But most of all, he hates his fellow Americans. Whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or independents. Why else would push legislation down our throats that majorities of the people don’t want?

This is what the America people think of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that Trump and the GOP are shoving down the nation's throat. Note that even the Fox News poll has it underwater by 21 points.

FIRE EVERYONE! Trump Rages Over Accurate Reporting of Intelligence Regarding His Iran Bombing

Posted by on June 26, 2025 at 2:07 pm. NO Comments :

In the wake of the bombing mission that Donald Trump ordered allegedly to rid Iran of nuclear weapons capabilities, the media had the audacity to do their job and report on what was known about the mission and its results. That, of course, drove Trump crazy, because the last thing he ever wants is for the truth about his often reckless escapades being exposed to the light of day.

Donald Trump

In Trump World it is never permitted to do or say anything critical of Dear Leader. His every word is to be regarded as if gospel, and every act must be glorified with the enthusiasm of an adoring apostle. That’s evident in the worshipful testimony delivered by his devoted propaganda purveyors.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

On Thursday Trump underwent a severe mental breakdown triggered by the press that he hates and regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” In a barrage of rancid posts to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump unleashed a series of demands that journalists he doesn’t like be fired. He seems to think that he’s still on “The Apprentice” and can axe people from his program at will.

The primary target of Trump’s wrath was CNN’s Pentagon correspondent, Natasha Bertrand. Trump began his harangue by lashing out at her on Wednesday saying that…

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.'” [And that] “She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad…She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN….FIRE NATASHA!”

First of all, does anyone really believe that Trump watched CNN for three days? Setting that aside, Trump’s claim that she lied is…well, a lie. She reported what she was told by Trump’s own Defense Department Intelligence Agency. Trump even later admitted that. Although he complained that the DIA assessment was preliminary. Which Bertrand reported saying that “The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available.”

Trump tried to spin this story as an attack on the pilots who flew the mission to Iran. Which is pure bullpucky. He also dredged up a five year old complaint about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was also correctly reported by Bertrand. Then on Thursday, Trump continued his tantrum with several posts demanding the termination of many more reporters. He whined that…

“Rumor is that the Failing New York Times and Fake News CNN will be firing the reporters who made up the FAKE stories on the Iran Nuclear sites because they got it so wrong. Lets see what happens?”

And that…

“One of the greatest, most professional, and most ‘confirming’ News Conferences I have ever seen! The Fake News should fire everyone involved in this Witch Hunt, and apologize to our great warriors, and everyone else!”

And that…

“FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN & THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!”

And in a major escalation of his insanity, with zero evidence, Trump fumed that…

“The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!“

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who is currently playacting as Trump’s Secretary of Defense, held a press scolding Thursday morning, wherein he whined about the media in a manner that would embarrass an eight year old. During that reality TV-style melodrama, Hegseth chastised his former Fox News colleague, Jennifer Griffin, who wasn’t havin’ his asininity. And he demonstrated his pitiful lack of historical knowledge of American warfare…

This is a great example of how everything in Trump world dials up the hyperbole to preposterous levels, where whatever Trump does is the BESTEST in the history of humanity!Hegseth apparently never heard of D-Day, or Hiroshima, or Desert Storm, or getting Osama bin Laden.

What Trump and his minions are making abundantly clear is that they do not want any credible journalism to be practiced in this country. They regard news reporting as unpatriotic if it isn’t gushing with praise for Trump. But nothing is more patriotic than reporters who speak truth to power.

Unfortunately, Trump’s hatred of the Constitution’s First Amendment is all too apparent in his attempts to get journalists fired when they are less than reverential supplicants to His MAGA-STY. Consequently, this country needs bold journalists now more than ever.

Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

Posted by on June 25, 2025 at 3:31 pm. NO Comments :

The MAGA movement led by America’s moronic messiah, Donald Trump, has become a crusade of carnival acts that have transcended the bounds of parody. With each new day they provide more proof that there truly is no bottom to their farcical feats of lunacy.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Consistent with the mission of every other cult, the MAGA missionaries are deeply focused on advancing the measure of devotion that is felt by their followers. To that end, the Pharisees of Trumpism fan out across the media to spread their message and corral their faithful and to harden their belief in him no matter how deranged.

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

On Wednesday Trump dispatched his high priestesses of propaganda to proselytize the masses. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, took up her regular post on Fox News, where she appears more often than she does in the White House press briefing room. While there she disgorged the doctrine of Trump as it related to his recent bombing campaign in Iran…

“No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success. And that’s exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean and undermine the president. And we’ve seen this playbook be run before. You have hostile actors within the intelligence community who illegally leak bits and pieces of an intelligence assessment to push a fake news narrative.

Leavitt: "No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success, & that's exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean & undermine POTUS…it was written by the exact same CNN reporter who wrote the original story falsely alleging the Hunter laptop was Russian disinfo"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-25T18:13:25.635Z

Leavitt’s description of Trump’s Iran adventurism as a success that “No other president in history could have ever dreamed of,” is patently absurd, and further evidence of the cultish rhetoric employed by Trump’s minions. From there Leavitt dived into an extend rant against CNN for accurately reporting what Trump’s own intel professionals said about the results of the air strikes. They revealed that, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, Iran’s nuclear capabilities had only been damaged partially, and that they could be rebuilt within months.

“The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.”

Leavitt went on to complain about a five year old story reported by CNN and others about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the verified associations with Russian disinformation operations. Leavitt falsely claimed that the story was false, and that therefore, her assertion that “Trump completely and totally obliterated the capability of Iran to produce a nuclear weapon” was true. She insisted that “the American public are smarter than this” And on that score, Leavitt may be right. Because a recent poll found that…

“Americans disapprove of the strikes, 56% to 44%, according to the survey, with strong disapproval outpacing the share who strongly approve. Most distrust Trump’s decision-making on the use of force in Iran, with about 6 in 10 worried that the strikes will increase the Iranian threat to the US.”

Meanwhile, Trump himself was freaking out about the reporting on what he was trying to sell as an unqualified success. So naturally he lashed out out viciously at the media saying that “CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They’re sick.”

Good morning, America.Your President is in Europe. It is not possible to fully articulate how much this man embarrasses the US on a global stage.“We have scum that’s in this group. CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They're sick.”

— News Eye (@newseye.bsky.social) 2025-06-25T10:51:17.095Z

Trump followed up that harangue with one aimed directly at the author of one of CNN’s stories. He posted the following on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social…

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.’ … She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN … FIRE NATASHA!”

That’s another lovely example of Trump’s commitment to free speech and the Constitution’s explicit protection of the free press. He believes that it is appropriate for an American president to demand the termination of journalists that he doesn’t like. Which isn’t surprising considering that he has several lawsuits pending against media companies because they dared to report actual news that has hurt his tender feelings and bruised his fragile ego. Poor baby.

Trump Lashes Out at Democratic Women of Color as ‘Stupid’ Because They Dare to Defy Dear Leader

Posted by on June 24, 2025 at 1:54 pm. 1 Comments :

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran, there has been little to justify what was a dubiously sourced mission in the first place. His own Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified before Congress that there was no evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. But Trump humiliated her and the broader intelligence community by declaring that they were all wrong.

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

Donald Trump, MAGA

You have to wonder where Trump was getting his information about Iran if it wasn’t from the intel professionals that worked for him. Nevertheless, he pulled out all the stops to glorify himself and his faulty decision making by dispatching the minions of his regime to the media in a futile effort to deceive the American people.

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

Trump himself was the Liar-in-Chief as he unloaded preposterous defenses of his military adventurism. For instance he falsely declared that Iran’s nuclear facilities were “obliterated” before there was any credible damage assessment. And he told reporters that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran was complete and would “go forever.” It didn’t last but a few hours.

Trump throws a tantrum because Israel and Iran aren't obeying his demands to end their decades long hostilities. He whines: "they don't know what the fuck they're doing."Trump said just yesterday that the ceasefire would "go forever." Which proves that it's Trump who doesn't know what he's doing.

On Tuesday morning Trump threw another infantile temper tantrum aimed at a trio of his sworn archenemies who just happen to all be Democratic women of color. The comment that he posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, maligned Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, and Ilhan Omar, with puerile insults to their intelligence. Trump raged that…

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.”

Demeaning women of color as “stupid” is a regular part of Trump’s racist rhetoric. However, AOC is only calling for Trump to be impeached because he initiated a war without the consent of Congress as required by the Constitution. And his having been impeached twice before seems like a peculiar thing to remind everyone about in the wake of his new impeachable offenses. But Trump was only just getting started. He continued…

“When we examine [AOC’s] Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than [Jasmine] Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country. […] How dare ‘The Mouse’ tells us how to run the United States of America!”

Trump doesn’t mention what test scores he’s referring to. But he might want to stop threatening the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to prevent them from releasing his grades. Let’s have some of that transparency that he likes to yammer about.

Although Trump did use this part of his comment to add Crockett and Omar to his hate post. It is no coincidence that all of his targets are women of color. He has exhibited this rancid racism innumerable times before. Often with journalists such as Yamiche Alcindor, Abby Phillip, and April Ryan. And let’s not forget that he said the same things about Kamala Harris. They just all happen to be stupid women in his eyes. Then he went further saying that…

“AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right.”

Trump keeps repeating this lie about having “aced” a cognitive test. It was actually just a test to ascertain any early signs cognitive illness, wherein he was asked to perform simple functions such as counting backwards and identifying an elephant. The fact that he’s so proud of having succeeded in that is itself cause to worry about his mental acuity.

Trump closed with a challenge to “go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!” That’s a challenge that Democrats must accept. The case against him is extraordinarily strong.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that Republicans in the Senate will vote in accordance with the law and the Constitution. They still seem to be too enrapt in the cult sway of Trumpism. But the effort is necessary regardless. If only to insure that there is a historical record of Trump’s malfeasance in office.

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

Posted by on June 22, 2025 at 3:06 pm. NO 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.

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

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…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T10:17:19.132Z

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.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T17:09:41.226Z

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. NO 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.

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…

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.

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.

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…

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. NO 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.

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.

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.

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.
