Trump Accuses the FBI of ‘Corruption’ for Closing the DEI Office that He Promised to Eliminate

Psychological academics are going to have a field day researching and analyzing the myriad maladies that have plagued Donald Trump. His malignant narcissism, pathological lying, and delusions of grandeur will be just the appetizer in the bonkers banquet that Trump will serve up for history.

Donald Trump, MAGA

Trump is a bundle of raw nerves that are sparking wildly. Nothing triggers him like atrocities that he has previously embraced, or blessings that he previously condemned. He rambles incoherently on subjects ranging from Hannibal Lecter to being devoured by sharks. He is obsessed with authoritarian aspirations inspired by his heroes, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. And he is a treasure trove of hyperactive hypocrisies.

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

Trump provided a convenient example of his neuroses Friday morning in a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was suffering another hissy fit over something that he considered to be an intolerable offense to humanity. So he furiously typed out – or more likely dictated – his dyspeptic diatribe saying that

“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago. Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!”

It must be comforting to the current staff at the FBI that Trump regards them as corrupt. And they were already probably worried about his nominee to lead the Bureau, Kash Patel, who has zero experience managing a large law enforcement agency, and has declared that he would abuse his power to go after an enemies list of Trump critics.

What Trump was referring to in his post was a report that the Office of Diversity within the FBI would be shutting down prior to his inauguration. As reported by Mediaite

“’In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,’ The FBI said in a statement to Fox News”

Notice that Trump was mistaken, as usual, about the office being shut down “one day before the Inauguration.” The article that he himself cited stated that the closure was announced a month ago. What’s more, Trump’s “demand” to preserve records was a meaningless outburst since all such government documents are routinely retained.

More troubling is Trump’s accusation that the FBI was plotting some sort of nefarious scheme connected to the Bureau’s office tasked with the “corrupt” responsibility of insuring equal opportunity and non-discrimination for all employees and applicants. What an awful objective for any civic enterprise to be undertaking. Trump and his MAGA minions have long opposed DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion), and have endeavored to eliminate all traces of it.

Nevertheless, it was that mission on the FBI’s part that infuriated Trump. And he wasn’t going to take it lying down. He labeled it “CORRUPTION,” that the Bureau would dare to shut the office down now. Never mind that that is precisely what Trump himself had promised to do during his campaign when he said nearly a year ago that on day one of his administration all “staff, offices, and initiatives” connected to the “un-American policy will be immediately terminated.” Mediaite elaborated saying that…

“Trump has previously signaled that he would seek to ban DEI in both the federal government and the private sector, labelling the programs ‘anti-white racism.’

“‘I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country and that can’t be allowed,’ the former president told Time magazine in May.

So to summarize, Trump is upset that the FBI’s equal opportunity office, that he said was anti-white racism, did exactly what he wanted them to do, which was corrupt, and they did it on the eve of his inauguration, that he seems to think was last December, and therefore, they must be ordered to retain documents that always retain anyway.

Okay. Got it! And this is the “stable genius” that the MAGA cult elected and who on Monday will be taking the oath of office that he has previously breached. Buckle up America.

FOX NEWS HOST: ‘It Makes Me CRAZY that the Left is Mad at Musk’ – For Bankrolling Herr Trump?

For nearly a decade, Fox News has assumed the role of the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump. Their program hosts and guests have been uniformly worshipful of the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and aspiring authoritarian, who has become the internationally recognized brand of cable’s premiere disinformation network.

Fox News Sad

Fox’s devotion to Dear Leader Trump drives their editorial ideology. So much so that they continue to fawn over and lie about Trump despite having had to pay a $787 million settlement for defamation as a result of their brazenly dishonest parroting of Trump’s 2020 election denials and outright lies. Which they continue to do to this day.

SEE THIS: Fox News is Still Pushing the Lie that the 2020 Election Was Stolen that Cost Them $787 Million

On Thursday morning Fox Business host Gerri Willis was a guest on Fox’s “Outnumbered.” The discussion covered some of the controversy over the seizure of the American government by tech billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. With regard to the latter, Willis was inexplicably confounded as to why Democrats would have any problem with Musk’s utterly inappropriate role as an unelected, virtual shadow president…

“The whole idea that the left is mad at Elon Musk makes me crazy because he’s the one who developed their favorite product in the world: the electric car. So how can you be mad at him?”

REALLY? Willis has to be one of the dimmest bulbs in the Fox News marquee. First of all, Musk didn’t develop the electric car. He bought Tesla from the more intelligent and creative people who did develop it. Secondly, Tesla is not the “favorite product” of progressives. In fact, they have led the exodus of buyers who stopped patronizing Musk’s auto business.

More to the point, Willis is pitifully dense if she can’t grasp why Democrats would oppose Musk after he completely betrayed the environmental movement by buying the presidency for Trump, a climate change denier who thinks that it is a hoax perpetrated by China. And climate change is only the tip of the iceberg of Trump policies that Musk endorses that are anathema to progressives.

Coincidently – or perhaps not – President Biden addressed the same subject in his Oval Office farewell address to the nation Wednesday night. He issued a passionate wake up call to Americans, alerting them to the danger of the emerging Trump oligarchy…

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We’ve seen the consequences all across America and we’ve seen it before.

“More than a century ago, the Americans stood up to the robber barons back then and busted the trusts. They didn’t punish the wealthy, just made the wealthy play by the rules everybody else had to. Workers want rights to earn their fair share. You know, they were dealt into the deal and helped put us on the path to building the largest middle class, the most prosperous century any nation in the world has ever seen.”

President Biden delivers a prescient warning that "an oligarchy is taking shape in America."

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-01-16T10:59:34.484Z

What actually makes Willis and and others at Fox News “crazy” is that the American people can see through their bullpucky. And we aren’t going to lay back and allow the new robber barons to enslave us. Even if they did once pretend to be interested in preserving the planet, but only because of their lust for more wealth.

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

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

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SEE ALSO: THE DAILY SHOW: Trump Gives Us a Reminder of What His Leadership Looks Like in Times of Crisis

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

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

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

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

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

Fox News Host Calls for a Full Federal Takeover of California and Declaration of Martial Law

Just in case anyone has not been convinced that Donald Trump has designs on becoming an imperialist totalitarian like his idol Vladimir Putin, he has lately been maniacally posturing to invade and annex several of America’s international allies, including Mexico, Panama, Canada, and Greenland.

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Trump’s threats in this regard may just be pseudo-macho chest-thumping, or attempts to intimidate foreign leaders with militaristic taunts, or pandering to his MAGA cult that tingles when he pretends to be a tough guy, or maybe he really thinks he can get away with it. Whatever his reasoning, he has the unwavering support of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, that is also his primary recruiting pool for his next White House administration.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

At the bottom of the pile of Trump-fluffing Fox News sycophants, is the network’s crass clown, Jesse Watters. And on Friday he delivered one his hallmark harangues that is littered with lies and perverse propositions. In response to the wildfire tragedies unfolding in Los Angeles, California, Watters floated a plan that his Dear Leader Trump would happily sign onto…

“This is biblical-level destruction. And the city of L.A. is hosting the Olympics in four years. There’s no way we can showcase L.A. to the world. A full federal takeover is needed. Invoke the Stafford Act. The state’s overwhelmed. Martial law might have to be declared.”

This sort of fascist dictatorial control is rapidly becoming the goto solution for every problem that Trump World encounters. Watters’ suggestion that the entire state of California be seized by the Feds would disenfranchise the millions of citizens in the state who repudiated Trump in November’s election. And his logic is patently absurd.

Watters is disparaging the efforts of state and local officials, as well as thousands of first responders who are working their arses off to save lives and property. And he’s concluding from that that the 2028 Olympics should be moved out of Los Angeles.

Great idea. Deprive the city of much needed revenue during a time of crisis following a natural disaster. You may notice that Watters never suggested anything like this after the hurricanes and tornadoes that sweep across Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, and the rest of the South every freakin’ year.

In addition to his comments above, Watters also made wholly unfounded accusations about California’s state and local officials. Mediaite reports him saying that…

“Primetime is calling for a federal takeover of California. […] We can’t wait for a recall election. This is an issue of national security. This is a public health emergency.”

[And…]

“The elected officials in California can’t be trusted. They’re criminally negligent. […] If they’re left in charge to rebuild L.A., they’re going to steal the money. Nothing’s going to get rebuilt.”

There is, of course, no basis for making those charges, other than the inbred biases of Watters and his knee-jerk hostility toward anyone who isn’t a fellow member of the Trump cult. And he is permitted to go on the air at Fox News with these slurs despite having no proof whatsoever. Remember, it was Fox News that was forced to settle a defamation lawsuit for $787 million due to lies they told about the 2020 election.

Maybe some of the innocent targets of Watters’ lies will step up to sue him and Fox over this new set of flagrant falsehoods. But rest assured that the residents of California will not sit by idly and let Trump invade their state to impose his tyrannical will on them, like he’s proposing to do to Panama, Canada, and Greenland. That would be a good way to get California to petition for secession.

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

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

Donald Trump, Wah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE DAILY SHOW: Trump Gives Us a Reminder of What His Leadership Looks Like in Times of Crisis

During the first occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, he proved that he was utterly inept and incapable of governing in a mature, responsible manner that would benefit the nation and respect the Constitution.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

From Trump’s deadly mismanagement of the COVID pandemic, to his disastrous failures with the economy and jobs, Trump performed with the same neglect, incompetence, and deliberate malfeasance that marked his business bankruptcies and personal debacles. And now he is gleefully preparing to exceed his own record of ruin.

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

The horrific fire storm in Los Angeles has driven thousands of people from their homes and put families and businesses at risk. Yet despite the turmoil and fear, everyone in the impacted communities, and their representatives in state and federal government, have united to combat the threat, restore order, and prepare to recover.

Well, almost everyone. True to form, Trump and his heartless MAGA minions have endeavored to wring every ounce of political animus out of the tragedy. Desi Lydic of the Daily Show noticed and led Wednesday night’s program with an apt description of Trump’s response.

“While everyone else is deeply concerned about what is going on in Los Angeles right now, Trump is handling the tragedy like the statesman that he is.”

Whereupon Lydic played a CNN clip noting that Trump is blaming California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the fires. And in addition to his lying flagrantly, he deploys his infamously infantile nicknaming by calling the Governor “Newscum.”

Trump's response to the LA wildfires is a perfect reminder of what his leadership looks like during a crisis

The Daily Show (@thedailyshow.com) 2025-01-09T18:59:32.046Z

However, Lydic only scratched the surface of Trump’s malicious immaturity and callous insensitivity to the real suffering that people are undergoing. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted six separate, certifiably insane comments attacking Gov. Newsom, President Biden, and other Democrats as somehow being responsible for the fires. Needless to say, virtually all of Trump’s rants were flat-out lies, including that…

ONE: “Fire is spreading rapidly for 3 days — ZERO CONTAINMENT. Nobody has ever seen such failed numbers before! Gross incompetence by Gavin Newscum and Karen Bass….And Biden’s FEMA has no money — all wasted on the Green New Scam! L.A. is a total wipeout!!!”

TWO: “One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!”

THREE: Let this serve, and be emblematic, of the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden/Newscum Duo.

FOUR: “NO WATER IN THE FIRE HYDRANTS, NO MONEY IN FEMA. THIS IS WHAT JOE BIDEN IS LEAVING ME. THANKS JOE!”

FIVE: “As of this moment, Gavin Newscum and his Los Angeles crew have contained exactly ZERO percent of the fire. It is burning at levels that even surpass last night. This is not Government. I can’t wait till January 20th!”

SIX: “Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North…He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt…He is the blame for this.”

LATE ADDITION: [Because Trump thinks there’s a big faucet in Northern California] “Governor Gavin Newscum should immediately go to Northern California and open up the water main, and let the water flow.”

Note that, in addition to Trump’s utterly dishonest caterwauling, he doesn’t offer a single word of condolence or concern for the people affected. He is wholly consumed by his political hostilities and his shamelessly childish nicknames and insults. He couldn’t care less about the victims. Trump added to his online harangue in an impromptu press avail…

TRUMP: The biggest homes, some of the most valuable homes are just destroyed.First: There are no fires in Beverly Hills.Second: Trump is only interested the biggest, most valuable homes. He doesn't bother to mention the thousands of working class people who have been hurt.

Fox News Embraces Dear Leader Trump’s Imperialist Plans to Invade and Annex Greenland and Panama

This week Donald Trump held a press conference that will stand the test of time as testimony to just how mentally diseased he was prior to the start of his second occupation of the White House. It was an hour plus of pure bullpucky and puerile propaganda. In other words, it was exactly the same as every other press conference he has held.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Fox News

Among the subjects he mangled were his obsession with filling up on filthy fossil fuels, pardoning his StormTrumpers who assaulted Congress, whining about efforts to bring him to justice for numerous treasonous felonies. And his recent maniacal fetish for confiscating the territories of American allies.

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

While every rational observer recognizes that Trump’s fixation on American expansionism is a dangerous escalation of hostilities with which he is emulating his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, and Adolf Hitler of Germany, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is taking him seriously and marching in lock-step with his malevolent machinations. On Wednesday’s episode of Fox and Friends, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes gave Trump their hearty endorsement.

Ainsley Earhardt (co-host and Sean Hannity’s fiancée): Well, Greenland, strategically, it makes sense. Because it’s the halfway point between our country and the U.K. So it would make sense to have that for war purposes, if we ever got to that point. Also, we have a big space facility there as well. As far as Panama Canal, we built it. 1941 we built it. [Note: it was completed in 1914]. In the seventies it was renamed. [Note: No it wasn’t]. And he wants to take that back. It makes perfect sense. And Gulf of Mexico, if it became Gulf of America… But to me the biggest thing that he said, the biggest accomplishment in the beginning, would be getting these hostages back.

Earhardt’s reasoning is something short of coherent. If the United States were justified in taking over any country that is halfway between itself and some other ally, is there any nation on the planet that would be safe from our cravings of conquest? For instance, France is halfway between the U.S. and Japan. Australia is halfway between the U.S. and India. So let’s take them all over, shall we?

Furthermore, Earhardt’s suggestion that it would make sense to take over any country where the U.S. has military assets would likewise lead to taking over nearly half the planet. And the Gulf of Mexico was named that before the United States ever existed. And as Mexico’s president said, it would make more sense to rename parts of the Western U.S. “America Mexicana.”

Earhardt concluded her babbling with her opinion that Trump’s comments about the hostages currently being held by Hamas in Gaza were his “biggest accomplishment,” which of course, he has not accomplished. What Trump said about that in his press conference was simply a bombastic, pseudo-macho threat that if the hostages are not released before his inauguration, “It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out.”

On this Trump is uncharacteristically correct. “It would not be good for anyone.” Particularly the hostages, who would likely be murdered at the first sign of any Trump led attack. That would be followed shortly by hundreds (thousands?) more fatalities of both innocent Gazans, Israelis, as well as any American soldiers involved. And it would put any hopes of cessation of hostilities or peace agreements much farther away.

Joining the Fox and Friends embrace of Trump’s imperialistic yearnings was Jesse Watters. On his Tuesday night program he explained why he supports Trump’s plan to annex Greenland, saying that “The fact that they don’t want us to take them over makes me want to invade. I want to quench my imperialist thirst.” Which is even stupider that Trump’s explanation that “we need Greenland for national security purposes. People don’t even know if Denmark has any legal right to it.”

In the meantime, Trump would then be saddled with wars in Panama, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East. Which will surely fulfill Trump’s campaign promises to put a halt to illegal immigration, create jobs, and bring down the price of eggs America. Right?

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

If there is one thing that Donald Trump excels in, it is his unmatched ability to find ways to sink to ever deeper depths of depravity no matter how low his previous descent was. And in that endeavor he is constantly underestimated by well meaning observers who were incorrectly convinced that he had hit rock bottom.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Get used to it America. There is no bottom for Trump. And the press conference that he held on January 7, 2025, will serve as testimony to Trump’s acutely scrambled psychotic state of mind. And true to form, he exceeded the cognitive collapse that he exhibited just the day before on the four year anniversary of his violent and deadly January 6th insurrection.

SEE THIS: WTF? Trump Marks January 6th Saying ‘Biden is Making the Transition as Difficult as Possible’

There was an abundance of derp presented in the presser. Too much to recap in detail without suffering severe derp-exposure. Consequently, what follows are just a half dozen select excerpts that are more than sufficient to demonstrate how mentally diseased our president-elect is.

FIRST: Trump whined about President Biden’s offshore drilling ban, saying that “625 million acres…That’s like the whole ocean.” However, 625 million acres is only 0.7% of the 88 billion acres of Earth’s oceans.

SECOND: Regarding the January 6th insurrection, Trump was asked if he was “planning to pardon those who were charged with violent offenses.” He replied “We’re looking at it.” Then he went on to demand that “We have to find out about Hezbollah” and their role in it.

THIRD: Trump wouldn’t be Trump if he wasn’t making up stupid stuff like, “This would be the only insurrection in history where people went in as insurrectionists with not one gun. […] And why didn’t they find the pipe bomber. I mean, they know who the pipe bomber is.”

FOURTH: Since he is divinely infallible, Trump insists that “I did nothing wrong.” Well, nothing but inciting an insurrection, sexually abusing multiple women, stealing classified documents and lying about them to the FBI, paying a porn star “Hush Money” and misreporting it on financial forms. And so much more. But other than that…

FIFTH: And then there was this initiative that voters were crying out for: “We’ll be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.”

SIXTH: Finally, when asked if he could assure that he would not use military means to take over Panama or Greenland, Trump responded “I’m not going to commit to that, no.” Because he says that the U.S. “needs Greenland for national security purposes.” Really? Ya mean like Hitler needed England and France and the rest of Europe?

It’s too bad that the 25th Amendment to the Constitution can’t be plausibly invoked once Trump is inaugurated. Because he is unarguably certifiable. However, thanks to Trump and his sycophantic Supreme Court justices, President Biden has “absolute immunity” for “official acts.” Maybe there is some principled, non-violent way he could use that now to save America from the madness of wannabe King Donald.

WTF? Trump Marks January 6th Saying ‘Biden is Making the Transition as Difficult as Possible’

Without a doubt, the darkest day in American history from a political perspective was January 6, 2021, when Donald Trump sent a violent mob of his motley cult followers to the Capitol to try to undermine democracy by force. The StormTrumpers assaulted police officers, caused millions of dollars of damage, and put Congressional members and their staffs in fear for their lives.

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Perhaps the second darkest political day is January 6, 2025, when Trump is certified to embark upon his second occupation of the White House, despite his prior treasonous activities. In the interim he has also been convicted of 34 felonies and adjudicated a rapist. And he continues to brazenly distort history with his gaslit misrepresentations of the riots that he incited as peaceful and patriotic demonstrations.

SEE THIS: On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a ‘Day of Love’

On this somber anniversary of Trump’s un-American assault on democracy and the Constitution, Trump manages to crawl even farther out on the limb of lunacy with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a fit of psychotic detachment from reality he wrote (emphasis added) that…

Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes. Fear not, these ‘Orders’ will all be terminated shortly, and we will become a Nation of Common Sense and Strength. MAGA!!!”

It takes an unimaginable heap of chutzpah for Trump to accuse President Biden of making a transition difficult after he literally provoked a riot in an effort to completely halt the last transition. Yet somehow Trump manages to accomplish that feat. He always seems to have the ability to sink lower than whatever lowly. dastardly deed he did before. But this is one for the record books.

And speaking of the record, Vice-President Kamala Harris showed how a decent, patriotic statesperson behaves during a presidential transition. Even while having to deal with the disappointment of having lost to a convicted felon, sexual abusing, pathological lying, wannabe dictator, Harris performed her constitutional duties with grace and dignity, noting in a video statement that…

“The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of American democracy. As much as any other principle, it is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny. Today at the United States Capitol, I will perform my constitutional duty as vice president of the United States to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation, one I will uphold, guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and my unwavering faith in the American people.

“As we have seen, our democracy can be fragile, and it is up to then each one of us to stand up for our most cherished principles, and to make sure, in America, our government always remains of the people, by the people and for the people.”

For his part, Biden commemorated January 6th in an op-ed in the Washington Post where he wrote that…

“An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day. To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand.

“This is not what happened. In time, there will be Americans who didn’t witness the January 6th riot firsthand but will learn about it from footage and testimony of that day, from what is written in history books and from the truth we pass on to our children. We cannot allow the truth to be lost.”

Meanwhile, Trump is whining about what a miserable victim he is, barking out orders to his MAGA minions in Congress, and promising to implement an agenda that emulates his authoritarian idols in Russia and China. And he is still promising to pardon the criminals who attacked the Capitol four years ago as a reward for their blind loyalty to Dear Leader. Which makes it all the more imperative for Democrats, and all other patriots, to stay strong and resist the Trump/MAGA cult, and to defend American principles and democracy.

Two New Crockumentaries About January 6th and Melania Show Trump’s Efforts to Rewrite History

Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of one of the darkest days of America’s history. On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump was so obsessed with unlawfully retaining power after he lost reelection that he sent his MAGA goons to the Capitol to undermine democracy and the Constitution.

Donald Trump Insurrection

The result was a deadly insurrection that put 140 police officers in the hospital, caused millions of dollars in damage, and threatened the lives of members of Congress, their staffs, and even his own Vice-President, Mike Pence. And four years later, Trump is still deliberately lying about the riots that he incited and describes in glowing terms, saying that “there was a beauty to it and a love to it that I’ve never seen before.”

SEE THIS: On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a ‘Day of Love’

Now Trump is promising to pardon the nearly 1,500 rioters, most of whom pleaded guilty to charges ranging from disturbing the peace to seditious conspiracy. He continues to perversely refer to them as “patriots” and “hostages” who were merely exercising their First Amendment rights.

Sadly, on the eve of the January 6th insurrection’s anniversary, two new “crockumentaries” have been announced purporting to tell the story of Trump and his abhorrent assaults on the principles that define America. And if the old saying that “history is written by the winners,” is true, the history written by Trump about himself and January 6th will be pure pulp fiction.

The first film was the subject of a gala affair that Trump held at Mar-a-Lago this weekend to celebrate, John Eastman, one of the chief architects of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election that he lost decisively to Joe Biden. The party, which for some reason was kept secret, and from which the press was excluded, was revealed by the hosts of “The Weekend” on MSNBC. It’s peculiar that an event announcing a film premiere would be kept under wraps. What were they trying to hide?

Perhaps they had a problem with the public finding out that they, and the film, were honoring Eastman, whose role in attempting to deploy fake electors contributed to his being disbarred. Or maybe they didn’t want publicity about the guests at the affair that included Rudy Giuliani – another disbarred Trump lawyer, Michael Flynn – a Russian asset, Jeffrey Clark – who Trump tried unsuccessfully to install as an acting Attorney General, and ex-con, Peter Navarro.

Then again, maybe they just didn’t want anyone to hear the embarrassingly ignorant remarks that Trump made at the event. Unfortunately for Trump, his remarks were revealed anyway. And they were typically devoid of reason or factual basis. He rambled that…

“I’m a big fan of John Eastman. Ya know, he was right. He happened to be right. That’s why they changed the law and nobody wants to talk about that…They said [Mike Pence is] not allowed to do it. He’s not allowed to do it. And they convinced him he’s not allowed to do it – our vice president. Then right after the election they changed the law so he can’t do it.”

What Trump is referring to is his efforts to pressure Pence into unlawfully refusing to certifying Biden’s election. Which, in fact, he was not allowed to do, according to the Constitution. And the law that was changed afterward was the Electoral Count Reform Act, which Congress amended in a bipartisan vote to prevent future anti-democracy plotters from exploiting the vagaries in the Electoral Count Act of 1887.

The other announcement of a Trump film was made by Fox News. It revealed that filming had begun on a documentary about Melania Trump. She would also be serving as the executive producer, which poses some questions about its credibility and dedication to neutrality and transparency. More likely, it is blatant propaganda and another project to extract money from the Trump Cult by the Grifter-in-Chief.

What Fox News didn’t bother to report was that the Melania biopic is being directed by Bruce Ratner, about whom the Associated Press reports, “marks the first project that Ratner has directed since he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including actor Olivia Munn, in the early days of the #MeToo reckoning in November 2017.”

How appropriate for a Trump family project. It fits in nicely with Trump’s own reported sexual misconduct, that includes his being ordered to pay more than $80 million for the defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll. And also his 34 felony convictions for falsifying financial records, aka “hush money” payments, to adult actor/producer Stormy Daniels. And there’s more where that came from. Which should provide an abundance of material for future documentaries. Hopefully honest and accurate ones.
