Trump’s Election Morning Madness Soars as He Declines to Renounce Violence and Attacks Fox News

Posted by on November 5, 2024 at 12:07 pm. NO Comments :

It’s finally here. Election Day has arrived and millions of Americans, who have not already voted early or by mail, will be heading to the polls to cast their votes. It’s still surprising that some people are having a hard time deciding between Vice-President Kamala Harris, a uniquely qualified and compassionate leader who cherishes democracy, and Donald Trump, a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and business failure/fraudster, with authoritarian aspirations.

Donald Trump Crazy

For his part, Trump seems to be making it easier for voters to decide by cementing in their minds the derangement and division that he offers, which has been the hallmark of his political life. His last rallies of the campaign season were rife with his standard supply of lies and hatred toward minorities, migrants, women, and anyone else that triggers his monstrosity…

SDEE THIS: Kamala Harris Presents: The Creature from the Orange Lagoon

On Tuesday morning Trump answered a few questions at his Mar-a-Lago bunker that were wholly in line with his character, or lack thereof. For instance…

Trump was upset with Oprah Winfrey because she said that a Trump victory could mean that there won’t be any more elections. However, Trump has said the very same thing about a Harris victory. “If we don’t win this election,” he said, “I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country,” That led Trump to lash out at Oprah, which somehow turned into an attack on Fox News (was he weaving?)…

“Oprah should be ashamed of herself…You know who else should be ashamed? Fox…I think it’s a disgrace what Fox does. Everyone thinks that Fox is so pro-Trump. They’re not pro-Trump at all.”

No, Fox News isn’t pro-Trump at all. Except for all of the unabashed slobbering done by Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, and pretty much everyone else on the network that is Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda. And Trump is so disgusted by all the anti-Trump “reporting” on Fox that he appears on it almost exclusively…

The non-stop Trump-fluffing at Fox News makes it possible for Trump make the most absurd comments, knowing that they will defend him at all costs. Even when he praised Hitler and expressed his desire to have generals like the Nazi fuehrer. Which leads us to his next election morning excremental exchange…

Reporter: Would you tell your supporters there should be no violence?
Trump: I don’t have to tell them that, that there’ll be no violence. Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that…These are people that believe in no violence. Unlike like your question. You believe in violence!

Of course there’ll be no violence. Who would ever imagine that Trump supporters would engage in violence after he loses an election? Certainly the events of January 6, 2021, tell us nothing about that possibility. Just ask those who died that day…oh wait. Ask the 140 police officers who were hospitalized, or the members of Congress and their staff, or the hundreds of violent insurrectionists who pleaded guilty, whether his supporters are violent people or not.

He doesn’t have to tell them to refrain from violence now, just like he failed to tell them then, because he was enjoying watching that “day of love” (as he now calls it) on TV while it was in progress.

And we can’t ignore Trump’s casual accusation that the reporter’s question was the true display of who believes in violence. It was another example of his deft use of the old “I know you are, but what an I” defense.

Finally, Trump was asked what he would say to those who are concerned that he will not concede this election if he loses, He replied that “I think they’re crazy.” Why would they be concerned about that? Just because he still hasn’t conceded the election of 2020, and has been lying about it continually for four years, creating a disinformation industry around his bullsh!t?

These examples of Trump’s dangerously demented mental state are coming too late for most voters to factor them into their decisions. But they are representative of what he’s been saying for years. So everyone ought to know. Here’s hoping that enough them do know and are voting for Kamala Harris so that the nation can have stable leadership that respects the law and the people. Stay tuned.

Trump Says ‘I Don’t Mind’ If ‘Somebody Would Have to Shoot’ Through the Media at His Cult Rally

Posted by on November 3, 2024 at 11:01 am. 2 Comments :

The evidence of Donald Trump panicking is becoming less possible to ignore with each day as the election comes to a close. Along with his standard derogatory slurs about anyone – Democratic or Republican – who isn’t unwaveringly worshipful of him, he is ramping up grossly violent rhetoric that runs the risk of inciting real harm to innocent people.

Donald Trump AR-15

Last week Trump spoke menacingly about Liz Cheney, maligning her as a “war hawk,” but asserting that she would fold under pressure. In what some people have interpreted as a thinly veiled desire to see her shot by firing squad or in battle, Trump said “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

Whatever the interpretation, it is profoundly inappropriate and reeks of the violent desires he harbors for those he perceives as enemies. However, this particular outburst suggesting cowardice on Cheney’s part is especially ludicrous considering the fact that Trump dodged the Vietnam draft with five deferments for phony bone spurs. He’s even to scared too debate Harris a second time.

SEE THIS: Trump Confesses to Bouts of Rage and Gluttony After Liz Cheney Reports His Reaction to January 6

At his cult rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Trump went off script to discuss the state of his security. In the description of the protective glass barriers that shield him on his stage he noted that there was an opening that provided an opportunity that he couldn’t pass up pointing out to his audience of glassy-eyed cult disciples. He said that…

“I have a piece of glass here. And I don’t have a piece of glass over there. And I have a piece of glass here. But all we really have over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don’t mind that so much. I don’t mind. I don’t mind that.”

It is difficult to imagine that this would not be seen as anything but an invitation to the more unbalanced members of his innately hostile hoard to shoot the reporters in the press risers who are covering his rally. And this is not an isolated incident.

Trump has been saying for years that the media is “the enemy of people.” He has threatened to revoke the licenses of any news network that criticizes him [Note: News networks are not licensed by the federal government]. The most recent such threat by Trump was triggered by the interview of of Kamala Harris by “60 Minutes” on CBS. But he didn’t constrain his rage to just that one network.

Trump is proving that his hatred for any media that hasn’t pledged its allegiance to him is more than just emblematic of his infantile character. It is downright reckless. And his inability to refrain from this sort of rhetoric during his campaign runs the risk of getting somebody killed. Just imagine what he would be capable of if he were reelected and had the “immunity” granted to him by the Supreme Court. And after these remarks, will the press continue to “sanewash” his rancid rhetoric?

Trump Celebrates Bad News for American Workers, Because He Thinks it’s Good News for Him

Posted by on November 2, 2024 at 2:01 pm. 1 Comments :

On the last weekend before Election Day, candidates ordinarily try to leave voters with a positive impression that might seal the deal and motivate them to go to the polls. But it goes without saying that Donald Trump is anything but ordinary. His deal sealer was to give a blow job to a microphone (No, REALLY).

Donald Trump with sign: There's Nothing To Smile About

The repulsive behavior of Trump stopped being surprising years ago. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still nauseating to decent people who aren’t glassy-eyed cult disciples of the Orange Messiah. His words and deeds reflect the monstrous character (or lack thereof) that Trump presents on a daily basis. The Kamala Harris campaign recently captured the horror of Trump in a hilarious new ad.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris Presents: The Creature from the Orange Lagoon

Saturday morning Trump put on another one of his traveling salvation shows. In the critical swing state of North Carolina, Trump played his most grating hits for an audience of raptured rubes. However, on this occasion Trump added a bit about the just released jobs report for October. In that report there were only 12,000 jobs created, an unexpectedly low number. There was, however an explanation. During the month of October there were two devastating hurricanes, as well as a nationwide strike against Boeing.

Undeterred by pesky facts, Trump sought to take advantage of the lower than expected numbers. However, he did not merely take advantage, he reveled in them with conspicuous and sinister glee…

“The worst numbers I’ve ever seen. How good was that? To get those numbers four days before the vote was… Thank you very much, sir. Thank you, sir… But no, she gets those numbers – She gets the worst numbers I think like maybe sort of ever?

“How good was that?” He thinks that was good? For who? Trump obviously doesn’t give a whip about the American people. He’s thrilled that this report came out just prior to the election because he believes that it will help him to win. In fact, he has been rooting for the downfall of the nation for months, maligning it as “failing,” “a third world country,” “dirty,” “corrupt,” “a banana republic,” and most recently, “a garbage can.” Apparently Trump’s strategy for winning is to grossly insult the country and its citizens.

It is also notable that while cheering the low jobs numbers, Trump looked to the heavens to thank God. As if he believes that God answered his prayers for Americans to suffer so that he could resume his quest for Earthly power. It would be safe to assume that Trump is now praying for more hurricanes, earthquakes, locusts, or other natural disasters targeting blue precincts in swing states to prevent Democrats from voting. He thrives on the pain of his foes.

Finally, Trump’s assertion that the October numbers were “the worst numbers I think like maybe sort of ever,” was not only painfully infantile grammar. It was evidence of his pitifully poor memory. During his occupation of the White House, he presided over not just low gains, but huge losses. In fact he was responsible for the worst loss of jobs since the administration of Herbert Hoover.

The last thing America needs is a president who gets pleasure from the misfortune of Americans. Trump has always been solely focused on his own welfare. He would sell the nation out to its enemies in the blink of an eye if it brought him some profit personally or financially. And in the next few days we have the opportunity and the obligation to make sure that he never gets gets a chance to do that.

Trump’s Truth Social Scam Crashes as He Brags that It’s Booming Because He’s Winning (He’s Not)

Posted by on November 1, 2024 at 3:37 pm. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump is fond saying that any good news that happens anywhere in the world is due to him or the perception that he is likely to return to power. And conversely, that his not having control of the reins of government is responsible for any bad news. It’s a win-win perversion of reality that feeds his massive, yet fragile, ego.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

However, many psychological experts and academics agree that the debilitating severity of Trump’s psychoses make him unfit for any position of authority. His obvious cognitive deficiencies forebode catastrophe were he to reoccupy the White House. A warning was issued recently in “a letter signed by more than 200 mental health professionals” who said that…

“Donald Trump is dangerous because of ‘his symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder – malignant narcissism’, which makes him ‘grossly unfit for leadership.’ [and that he poses] an existential threat to democracy. [and that he] shows a lifetime pattern of ‘failure to conform to social norms and laws,’ ‘repeated lying,’ ‘reckless disregard for the safety of others,’ ‘irritability,’ ‘impulsivity,’ ‘irresponsibility,’ and ‘lack of remorse.

Those symptoms were evident in remarks Trump made at his cult rally Thursday in Nevada. Among his diversions from the real world was a detour he took lauding his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. As usual, he sought to portray everything that he touched as golden, no matter how absurdly misguided (video below). He said that…

“‘Sir. You’ll never get the name ‘Truth,’ sir. That’s a term that you will never get.’ I said I only need five letters, right?. I said ‘Wouldn’t ‘Truth’ be great?’ They said ‘Sir, you won’t get it. You won’t get it.’ I said ‘Check.’ They said ‘Sir, I will, but you’re not gonna get it.’ ‘CHECK!’ And they came back, ‘Sir, it was available and we bought it for $2,000.’ Can you believe it?”

Let’s pause here to note that this is another one of Trump’s wholly imaginary discussions with the voices in his head who always call him “Sir.”. However, the fact is that he did not get the name “Truth” for his website. He got “Truth Social.” The “Truth” dot com domain is currently owned by a hardware business in Owatonna, Minnesota. Undaunted, Trump continued…

“And then it had a little burst. I don’t know what the hell’s going on. So. here’s my friend, he said they deplatform you, they take it all away, they try to destroy you. And you open up something and, as of yesterday it was worth 10 billion crazy dollars. Did you see that? Ten billion dollars, Mr. Senator. And they are going crazy.”

It’s pretty safe to agree with Trump when he admits that “I don’t know what the hell’s going on.” Although he’s also right about the current net asset value of the stock of Truth Social’s corporate parent, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). However, that value is entirely the result of the rubes who invest because they are indoctrinated members of the Trump cult.

TMTG makes a relative pittance and is losing millions. Were it to be valued according to its earnings it would be a penny stock. However, when the stock recently rose in value, Trump declared that it was because he was beating Kamala Harris in the polls by a lot (he wasn’t), and that investors believed he was going to be the victor in the election. But that would be a preposterous foundation on which to invest. He is more than likely to lose, and the company would still be pretty much worthless if he won.

That said, as Trump was bragging about the value of the Truth Social, it’s value was taking a nosedive. This week it dropped about 46% from its intraweek high. Would Trump now say that the reason for that collapse is that he’s losing in the polls and and investors expect Harris to beat him next week? Not likely. That’s where the defense mechanism of his mental maladies kicks in. His psyche is immune from harm because all he can see is his perceived greatness.

BONUS UPDATE: Trump Media Outsourced Jobs to Mexico Even as Trump Pushes “America First”

In the meantime, here is a brief record of the disastrous existence of Truth Social and TMTG…

Trump Media is Purging Those Too Weak to Keep Up the Crumbling Truth Social Scam (ProPublica)
An investigation of TMTG by ProPublica has just uncovered yet another example of the company’s corruption. The report found that “people with knowledge of the company” have confirmed that several top executives of the company appear to have been ousted following an internal investigation by a lawyer that the company hired to examine allegations of “mismanagement” and “misuse” of funds by it’s CEO, and Trump flunky, Devin Nunes.

LOSER Trump’s Truth Social is Well on its Way to Becoming His Next Bankruptcy
TMTG reported its earning for the second quarter of 2024. And it was not a pretty sight. As reported by Investor’s Business Daily, “Trump Media reported net sales of $836,000, down 30% vs. a year earlier. Operating costs soared to $19.5 million vs. $4.9 million a year earlier.”

Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat
The Donald Trump-controlled Truth Social platform recorded its third straight month of declining traffic. Truth Social attracted 2,112,000 unique visitors, down 38% compared to June 2023 when the site generated 3,407,000 unique visitors. It was the platform’s second worst traffic performance since June 2022 when Truth Social had only 1,891,000 unique visitors.

Trump Crime Syndicate: Investors Arrested for Insider Trading in Failing Truth Social Scam
Trump’s associates in his truthless, anti-social media venture were arrested and charged with insider trading. Reports indicate that “the three individuals together made more than $22 million in illegal profits.”

Scaredy Trump Cowers Behind Sean Hannity – Still Too Afraid of Non-MAGA Media and Kamala Harris

Posted by on October 30, 2024 at 1:57 pm. 4 Comments :

The final week of a close presidential campaign generally sees the candidates making their last pitch to attract and motivate voters and to persuade those who are undecided. They fill their schedules with opportunities to seal the deal, particularly among communities where they might be weak.

Fox News Sean Hannity

To that end, Kamala Harris gave a rousing and unifying speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that drew 75,000 people (22,000 more than Trump’s speech there on January 6, 2021). Her speech was aimed directly at Americans who are exhausted by the chaos and discord that epitomized Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House and the years that followed.

Trump, on the other hand, held a rally at Madison Square Garden that reeked of hostility, division, and hatred for anyone that wasn’t unwaveringly worshipful and devoted to Dear Leader.

SEE THIS: DNC Projects the Real Message of Trump’s Anti-American MAGA-Palooza onto Madison Square Garden

In recent days, Harris has granted interviews to a wide variety of media, including “The View,” “Late Night with Stephen Colbert,” Howard Stern, Univision,” “60 Minutes,” and even Fox News. As the campaign season winds down, Harris continues to make more of these sort of broadly diverse appearances before millions of people.

Meanwhile, Trump has been sequestering himself within his MAGA media bubble where he knows that he will never face any challenging questions or pesky fact-checks. (Well, almost never). And he was too chicken to debate Harris after his first whooping. Instead, Trump has been studiously avoiding any situations that he fears will be unfriendly. Which leaves Fox News, where he has appeared ten times – more than twice a week – in just the past month.

That may not be the best way to expand voter outreach, but it makes sense for someone who is utterly incapable of completing a rational thought, expressing an intelligent opinion, or avoiding humiliating gaffes. Although Trump still manages to embarrass himself, even within the hospitable confines of his Fox fortress.

For instance, on Tuesday night Trump made another visit to his Minister of Propaganda, Sean Hannity. While there he touched on several subjects that are unlikely to advance his electoral aspirations. Among them was his resolutely racist rant about rampant crime, about which he lied that…

“Our country is a crime ridden country. When they go into department stores and strip the store and our police stand out there wanting to do their job but they’re told ‘stand down. Don’t touch anybody.’ And they’re walking out with refrigerators. And they’re walking out with air-conditioners.”

First of all, crime is way down, and Trump’s dystopian tales of stripped department stores and constrained police are pure fiction. Secondly, does he really expect anyone to believe that criminals are “walking out with refrigerators”? Those must be some pretty muscular thieves.

Trump also addressed the recent uproar over a speaker at his MSG rally insulting Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Without renouncing the remarks, or apologizing, Trump said that…

“Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something. I have no idea who he is. Never saw him. Never heard of him. Don’t want to hear of him…You throw comedians in, you don’t vet them and go crazy. It’s nobody’s fault…and they try to make a big deal.”

This is a common Trump dodge wherein he just claims ignorance. Which for him is believable. However, this comedian was vetted and his script was reviewed and edited prior to it being loaded into the TelePrompTer. And contrary to Trump’s futile wishes, it has become a big deal, with a potentially significant impact on the election.

Trump also thought it would be a good idea to talk about the speculation that he is a Hitler loving fascist. Because what candidate wouldn’t want to keep that on the top of mind of voters? He began by telling Hannity that his father had told him to “never mention that name.” So naturally, Trump said that…

“They accuse me of being a Nazi. They accuse me of being a Hitler-type guy or a Hitler lover, and I’m not; I’m the opposite. They are the ones that are doing it. They are oppressive. This is like an oppressive machine.”

Way to rub it in, Donald. And by the way, what’s the “opposite of Hitler”? If Hitler’s “master race” rhetoric was promoting White supremacy, then is Trump a proponent of White inferiority? Does Trump have any idea what he’s even talking about?

Furthermore, when trump complains that “they” are the ones “doing it,” he’s talking about his own White House Chief of Staff (Gen. John Kelly), Defense Secretary (Gen. James Mattis), and others who worked closely with him in his administration who are the ones that branded him as a fascist who praises Hitler.

So even with his pal Hannity, on his favorite network, Trump still makes a fool of himself. But not to worry, he’s speaking to an audience that is already committed to voting for him no matter what awful things he says or does.

However, that isn’t going to be much help. Because while Harris is out in the field rounding up every vote she can, Trump is preaching to his hideously off-key choir. Which he will continue to do because he’s too afraid to face anyone – pundits or voters – who haven’t already pledged their allegiance to him.

Trump Held a ‘Press Conference’ Where He Took No Questions and Gets Fact-Checked By – Fox News?

Posted by on October 29, 2024 at 2:12 pm. 2 Comments :

One of the best indicators that the Donald Trump campaign has suffered yet another catastrophic collapse is the scheduling of an emergency media event to stir in some irrelevancies intended to deflect from the damage he’s done.

Donald Trump TV Set

The frantic rush to fumigate his political house drove Trump to hold what he called a “press conference” following the fiasco of his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday. The interminably long and unbearably tedious affair was rife with the sort of demagogic White supremacism that marked the previous “America First” rally staged at MSG 85 years ago by the American Nazi Party.

SEE THIS: DNC Projects the Real Message of Trump’s Anti-American MAGA-Palooza onto Madison Square Garden

Trump and his campaign knew that they had laid a rotten egg shortly after a featured guest speaker insulted Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” And while the campaign made a mild statement that the “joke” didn’t “reflect the views” of the campaign, Trump himself has still failed to repudiate it or apologize. And that slur only scratched the surface of the hostility that was rampant at the Garden.

Instead, Trump held a phony press conference that was nothing more than another opportunity to spew the very same repulsive rhetoric that he unloads at his cult rallies. The venue for this sham was his own Mar-a-Lago home/hotel, and he was still more than an hour late arriving. Plus, he packed the room with his supporters who were cheering on cue for everything he said.

Trump never mentioned the demeaning of Puerto Rico and the millions of Puerto Rican citizens throughout the United States. But he did launch ludicrous and baseless attacks on Kamala Harris for running a “campaign of hate” and “trying to destroy our country.” Which was pure projection on Trump’s part. What’s more, he ducked out the back way without taking a single question from the assembled reporters. Why on Earth would any journalist bother to show up for this sort of charade?

In a fit of deliberate deception Trump repeatedly referred to the MSG hate-mongering as a “love fest.” Which, ironically, is the very same way he described the deadly January 6th insurrection that that he incited.

MORE HERE: On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a ‘Day of Love’ and Doubles Down on Pet Eating

Fox News carried Trump’s so-called press conference without correcting any of the obvious lies he told on a variety of subjects. However, there was one thing that Fox’s Harris Faulkner felt compelled to correct…

“At the very beginning, you heard the former president talk about a stolen election. And while he may feel a certain way, the facts remain, Joe Biden was declared the winner with 51% of the vote. The states certified those results of the 2020 election, and Congress accepted those results. Now, the nation is moving toward November 5th.”

UH-OH. Faulkner just contradicted Trump about his insistence that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” from him. That’s likely to earn her a Truth Social shoutout from him saying that “I HATE HARRIS FAULKNER AND FOX NEWS!!!” But she may have felt some pressure to make this particular correction because it’s on the same subject for which Fox News lost a $787 million defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems.

As for Faulkner’s observation that “nation is moving toward November 5th,” that’s something that the calendar makes irrefutable. But it doesn’t stop Trump or Fox News from setting up another round of election denying after the 2024 results are in. In fact, they have already started. And the spectacle of Trump continuing to rant about 2020 at this mockery of a press conference is proof of it.

For the record, when Trump completed his prepared whining, he left the room to the applause of his MAGA audience, and his campaign anthem, “YMCA.” So what exactly made this “press conference” different from his rallies?

While 2 Big Newspapers Quash Kamala Harris Endorsements, Another Kisses Trump’s…Let’s Say Ring

Posted by on October 26, 2024 at 1:57 pm. 2 Comments :

The role of the media during the 2024 presidential election has not exactly earned the honor that the fourth estate deems itself worthy of. It spent much of this campaign season demeaning President Biden prior to his passing the torch to his Vice-President, Kamala Harris. Following Harris’ entry into the race, many in the mainstream press held her to ridiculously higher standards than they did Donald Trump.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

As CNN’s Van Jones said, “He gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless.” There was little distinction made between Harris, a candidate who has stellar credentials (Attorney General of the largest state in the union, United States Senator, and Vice-President), and Trump, whose resume reeks of personal and professional depravity (a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, financial fraudster, pathological liar, and mentally infirm). What’s more, Trump despises the media and openly threatens its existence.

SEE THIS: Tyrant Trump Demands ALL TV News Licenses Be Revoked and Kamala Harris Concede the Election

This week a couple of prominent newspapers lathered themselves in disgrace by announcing that they would succumb to the MAGA mob and the bullying tactics of Donald Trump by refraining from making any endorsements in the presidential race. As reported by The Guardian’s Margaret Sullivan…

“The Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post have decided to sit this one out. Both major news organizations, each owned by a billionaire, announced this week that their editorial boards would not make a presidential endorsement, despite their decades-long traditions of doing so. There’s no other way to see this other than as an appalling display of cowardice and a dereliction of their public duty.”

This wasn’t a neutral decision by experienced journalists. It was the mandate from the owners after editors had already decided to endorse Harris. As a result, senior editorial staffers at both papers resigned in protest of what former WaPo editor Marty Baron called “Disturbing spinelessness.” Even worse, it’s an implied message of support for Trump who, were he to win, could bring his wrath down on the billionaire owners who both have personal fortunes dependent on government business.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the political spectrum, Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post published its endorsement of Trump, calling him “the clear choice for a better future.” Which is peculiar considering that in 2022, the NYPost published a scathing rebuke of Trump with an emphasis on his abhorrent mishandling of the January 6th insurrection that he incited. That article said in part that…

  • “Trump didn’t lift a finger to stop the violence.”
  • “To his eternal shame, as appalled aides implored him to publicly call on his followers to go home, he instead further fanned the flames.”
  • “His only focus was to find any means — damn the consequences — to block the peaceful transfer of power.”
  • “Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.”

So only two years after declaring that Trump is “unworthy” to reoccupy the White House, the NYPost is now endorsing him as “the clear choice”? That’s quite a reversal. And that’s why Trump was so happy to post on his failing Twitter ripoff, “I LOVE THE NEW YORK POST. GREAT ELECTION COVERAGE. THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL ENDORSEMENT!!!” Which is also peculiar considering that Trump has previously posted harsh condemnations of the NYPost…

  • Saying that “Since the New York Post went ‘bad’ on TRUMP, there [sic] numbers have fallen, tremendously. Great, people are tired of hearing Fake News. It used to be sooo good, but not anymore!”
  • And asking “Has anybody noticed how badly the New York Post is doing since going anti-Trump? A beautiful thing to see!”
  • And asserting that “Andy McCarthy, legal pundit of the dying New York Post, who will do anything Rupert Murdoch…tell him to do.”

This is just more proof that Trump is a cognitive mess who can’t recall what his prior lies were, or who his current enemies are. He just unloads whatever crawls into his corroding cranial cavity, knowing that his cult disciples will believe anything he says, even he’s contradicting what he said the day (or the minute) before.

It’s that psychosis that the press is repeatedly failing to report to the American people who need to have this information before they vote. So shame on the L.A. Times and the Washington Post. Their decision to spike the Harris endorsements is not just bad journalism, it’s dangerously unpatriotic.

GOP Leaders in Congress are OUTRAGED at Kamala Harris (But Not Trump) for Talking About Fascism

Posted by on October 25, 2024 at 3:57 pm. 3 Comments :

The unprecedented cowardice of Republicans in Congress has been among the most disappointing developments of the Era of Donald Trump. Despite the fact that many of them righteously condemned Trump during and immediately after the January 6th insurrection that he incited, most have relapsed into the catatonic state of worship that is mandated by cult leaders.

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The blindly obsequious members of America’s Legislative branch of government include its GOP leaders Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, and Mitch McConnel, Republican minority leader in the Senate. They are the standard bearers of the Republican Party’s far-right MAGA wing who have managed to achieve new records of incompetence at their respective jobs.

Now these extraordinarily inept so-called “leaders” have sent out a furious press release expressing their seething displeasure at recent remarks by Vice-President Kamala Harris. She was asked by a reporter whether she agreed with some of Trump’s former White House staffers that he is a fascist, and she replied in the affirmative. That triggered the missive by Johnson and McConnell (whom we shall henceforth refer to collectively as “JoMac”) calling on Harris to “End The Dangerous Rhetoric.” It said in part that…

“[Harris] has only fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus. Her most recent and most reckless invocations of the darkest evil of the 20th century seem to dare it to boil over. […]

“Vice President Harris may want the American people to entrust her with the sacred duty of executive authority. But first, she must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions. […]

“And we call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment.”

So JoMac are accusing Harris, in flamboyantly colorful terms, of having “fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus.” Never mind that it was actually a group of close Trump associates who were minding the political crock pot. They include Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, his Defense Secretary, Gen. James Mattis, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley. All of these respected military officers who were appointed by Trump now agree that he is a fascist. And they oughta know.

What’s more, the position that Trump is a dangerous, aspiring dictator is shared by Trump’s former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, another one of his Defense Secretaries, Mark Esper, and more than 700 national security officials who have endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

JoMac went on to demand that Harris, who was merely agreeing with Trump’s people, “abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric” and “stop escalating the threat environment.” However, JoMac never bothers to make the same request of their Dear Leader Trump. They must not have heard him say that “Joe Biden and the fascists that control him are a threat to democracy.” Or that “Every time the Radical Left Democrats, Marxists, Communists, and Fascists indict me, I consider it a GREAT BADGE OF HONOR.” Or that “We are going to WIN BIG and take our Country back from the Radical Left Losers, Fascists, and Communists.”

JoMac neglected to mention the countless times Trump has referred to Harris as a “communist, Marxist, fascist.” CNN documented a few of those attacks that took place recently. Such as Trump saying that “She’s a Marxist, communist, fascist, socialist” at an Arizona rally. Or that “This is a radical-left, Marxist, communist, fascist,” which Trump said at a news conference. Or that “We have a fascist person running who’s incompetent,” which Trump told his glassy-eyed rally-goers at a Virginia campaign stop.

JoMac also must have missed it when Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said that Trump might be “America’s Hitler.” Which is a sentiment that millions of Americans share. According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, “Nearly half of Americans say they view former President Trump as a fascist.” That includes “46 percent of independents and 12 percent of Republicans.”

All in all, there is an astonishingly strong consensus, across a broad range of Americans, that Trump is a threat to democracy, with authoritarian aspirations, who must never be permitted to hold any office of power again. But JoMac are incapable of seeing this reality. They are as indoctrinated into the Trump cult as the rubes who attend his rallies wearing desecrated flag fashions.

HOLY CR&P! Fox News Defends Trump Wishing that He Had ‘the Kind of Generals that Hitler Had’

Posted by on October 23, 2024 at 1:42 pm. 7 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been frighteningly apparent for years. From his earliest forays into political affairs he has been extraordinarily shameless about expressing his dreams of dictatorship. It’s a yearning that gnaws at him when what he believes should be his right to unchecked power is obstructed by technicalities – like the Constitution.

Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler

Trump’s open embrace of autocracy is evident in his idolization of tyrants such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. His admiration and envy of these thugs is not something that he hides. He even told his pal, Sean Hannity of Fox News, that he would “be a dictator on day one” of his administration if given the opportunity.

With just two weeks remaining before Election Day, a new report about Trump’s imperious inclinations has surfaced. It might be considered an “October Surprise,” were it not for the fact that it isn’t the least bit surprising. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still nauseating.

Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, has revealed that Trump frequently spoke of his admiration for Adolf Hitler. He told colleagues that “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.” And when asked for confirmation, Kelly said that…

“Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”

These are the kinds of remarks that would have sunk a presidential candidate in years past. But Trump is not so much a politician as he is a cult leader. And cult followers have an unshakeable devotion to their leader. Which is especially disturbing when the followers are also hosts of propaganda programs on alleged “news” networks.

On Wednesday morning, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends addressed the comments made by Gen. Kelly. And true to form, they endeavored to defend Trump’s affinity for Hitler and craving for his own Nazi regime. Co-host Brian Kilmeade attempted to recast the comments of Trump’s former National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, into a justification (video below), saying that…

“He talked about how [Defense Secretary Gen. Jim] Mattis and Kelly didn’t like the president. And they didn’t think he deserved the job, or they didn’t think he was worthy of the job and they went out of his way to make sure a lot of the things that he asked them to do, that they didn’t like, never got done. McMaster would be frustrated. Because he couldn’t get their attention, and he would say “it’s not your job to rein in the president. it’s your job to do what the president wants.”

Let’s stop there for a moment to notice that Kilmeade’s tale of what McMaster thought or said is pure conjecture on Kilmeade’s part. Both Mattis and Kelly thought well enough of Trump to accept his appointments to serve in his administration. If they later had reservations about some of the unlawful requests Trump made, it was not to “rein in the president,” but to honor their oath, which is to the Constitution, not the man. It is not their job “to do what the president wants,” but to adhere to the law. But Kilmeade wasn’t through. In continuing, he employed his clairvoyant powers to speculate as to what Trump might have been thinking…

“He obviously has frustration. And I can absolutely see him going, ‘now you know what, it would be great to have German generals that actually do what we ask them to do.’ Knowing that’s a third – maybe not fully being cognizant of the third rail of German generals who were Nazis and whatever.”

To be sure, Trump was likely frustrated by not having the totalitarian powers that he craved. So Kilmeade was tolerant enough to excuse his hankering for “German generals” who do what they’re told. Never mind that it was the threat of execution that enforced such obedience. Even worse, Kilmeade dismissed Trump’s desire to command unquestioning officers as merely his ignorance that Nazis were actually the bad guys.

Kilmeade also didn’t bother to mention that Kelly’s opinions about Trump’s fascist tendencies are shared by his military and national security colleagues, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, his former Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, and his former National Security Advisor, John Bolton. Plus more than 700 national security officials have endorse Kamala Harris for president, calling her a candidate who “defends America’s democratic ideals,” and blasting Trump as “unfit to serve.”

This is typical of how Fox News makes excuses for Trump no matter how repulsive his behavior, or how dangerous the consequences. They are even there to whitewash his embrace of fascism and Hitler. Which makes Fox News no better than Trump or the Nazis that he seeks to emulate. That should be more than sufficient to motivate patriotic Americans to vote in historically large numbers for Harris. And to that end, be sure to vote and get everyone you know to vote as well. This is up to all of us now.

Trump’s Anti-American ‘Enemies From Within’ Comment was ‘Speaking From the Heart’ per JD Vance

Posted by on October 21, 2024 at 3:49 pm. 3 Comments :

Every liar has a tell. And Donald Trump is no exception. For those interested in the secret indicator that reveals when Trump is engaging in blatant bullshittery, look for this unfailing signal that he sends every time he is deliberately deceitful: Are his lips moving? That’s all the experienced truth-seeker needs to know to spot when Trump is spinning yarns.

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

As Election Day draws nearer, Trump is unloading ever more flagrant falsehoods whose distance from reality is growing exponentially by the hour. His desperation is driving him to concoct increasingly bizarre tales intended to invoke fear among his glassy-eyed cult disciples. In Trump’s most recent rants there are more murderous migrants, more conniving communists, and all manner of monsters lurking in every shadow. Most of whom he says are fellow citizens who dare to disagree with him.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

On Fox News Monday morning, Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, was interviewed by Bill Hemmer. And the discussion addressed some recent comments Trump made about Americans who he has deemed “the enemy from within.” According to Trump, these are not clandestine figures who have embedded themselves in our communities waiting to pounce. Nope. They are his political foes who can be our family, friends, neighbors, and even elected representatives.

Trump told Fox News’ Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, that these imaginary scoundrels “should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So Trump is now promising to use the U.S. military against American citizens who don’t support him. This emerging threat sparked the following exchange on Fox between Vance and Hemmer…

Hemmer: He’s asked about this ‘enemies within’ comment. And I’ve read all of it. I’ve listened to all of it. It’s hard for me to know what he really means about it. But that’s not my question. My question is ‘Why is that necessary’?
Vance: Well, first of all, Donald Trump is unfiltered. I think it’s one of the reasons the campaign has gone well is because he’s not doing a basic campaign strategy. He’s not just running on slogans. When people ask him questions he speaks from the heart. And sometimes that means he’s gonna talk about issues that the mainstream media isn’t focused on.

So according to Vance, maligning fellow American citizens – even those serving in elected offices – as “enemies” is okay because it comes from Trump’s alleged heart? Never mind that there is no rational way to justify the accusation. It’s purely a derogatory and childish insult that has long been a core defect evident in Trump’s severe personality disorder. And that’s from the heart, as well as documented by psychiatric health professionals, including his niece, Mary Trump.

Vance says that Trump “isn’t running on slogans.” You mean like “enemies from within,” “build the wall,” “drill, baby, drill,” “lock her up,” “make America great again,” etc. And Vance defends Trump by claiming that he is “unfiltered.” That’s a fault, not a virtue, for civic leaders who ought to have refined diplomatic skills in order to be effective.

However, Trump’s unfiltered state has provided some grotesque examples of his rancid mindset that makes him utterly unfit to serve in any office. Such as, just this week, his calling Kamala Harris a “sh*t” Vice-President, and his fixation on Arnold Palmer’s junk, and that January 6th was a “day of beauty and love.” Do we really want a leader who is that unfiltered?

Vance never actually answered Hemmer’s question about why it would be necessary for Trump to use such preposterously provocative language. He just offered his obsequious defense and asserted that Trump was right to say these things because they are from his heart. Which, in its own way, is informative and useful. Because, if for no other reason, it tells us something about the sickly condition of Trump’s heart.
