Biden Deftly Dunks Fox News Hack Peter Doocy’s Dumbass Questions About Age and Polls

Posted by on November 9, 2023 at 1:23 pm. 4 Comments :

Although it’s still early in the 2024 election season, the candidates for president for both parties are presumed to be settled. The incumbent, President Joe Biden, doesn’t face any serious challengers. And the Republicans are all too glassy-eyed and devoted to their Dear Leader, Donald Trump, to consider anyone else. Never mind the handful of GOP wannabes who are fantasizing that they have a shot at it.

Fox News, Peter Doocy

Both Biden and Trump have vulnerabilities that are weighing on their respective campaigns. Trump’s are that he has four indictments and 91 felony charges pending against him, along with the fact that he is broadly despised as a lying, narcissistic, sexual assaulter, who tried to undermine democracy and impose an authoritarian dictatorship. Not to mention that he is also suffering from severe mental deterioration that is evident every time he speaks.

As for Biden, virtually the only criticism that his Republican opponents can cite is his age. Well, there’s is also their complaints that he is a “radical Marxist thug” who hates America, but let’s try to keep this assessment anchored to reality. Yes, Biden is old. But then so Trump. Yet somehow, only Biden’s age is an impediment to reelection.

This hypocrisy on the part of the press was on display Thursday morning when Biden met with reporters for a quick Q and A. As always, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy was there. And as always, he asked the most asinine questions. The brief exchange between Doocy and Biden went as follows…

Doocy: Why do you think it is that people should be more concerned about abortion access than your age?
Biden: I don’t think it’s a comparable comparison.

Biden was exceedingly polite in his response. Indeed, it was a ridiculous comparison. A Doocy-to-Coherent dictionary might have translated his question as, “Why do you think it is that people should be more concerned with women being able to make decisions about their own healthcare, than about phony, partisan, political attacks by Republicans and Fox News? Did Doocy really expect an answer to that bull manure? And as if that weren’t bad enough, Doocy had a follow up…

Doocy: Why do you think it is that you’re trailing Trump in all these swing state polls?
Biden: Because you don’t read the polls. There are ten polls. Eight of them I’m beating him in those states. Eight of them. You guys only do two. CNN and the New York Times. Check it out.

Don’t expect Doocy to check that out. He is only interested in quick hits that he can send back to the Fox studio where they will edit it to make Biden look like he’s mentally incompetent. He probably doesn’t even know that the last Fox News poll showed Biden beating Trump. Which is something that even Trump notices, and frequently whines about on his failing social media scam, Truth Social.

SEE ALSO: Trump Goes on Psycho-Rant Accusing Fox News of Sabotaging Him with Bad Pictures and Polls

Doocy’s questions are invariably irrelevant to anything that the American people care about. They are designed for one purpose: to try to get Biden to commit some sort of verbal gaffe that they can spend the next three days yammering about. However, Biden’s answers are further evidence of his mental acuity and good humor.

Not that any of that will get into Fox’s story when they get around to reporting this encounter. Anything that doesn’t meet their criteria for pro-Trump propaganda ends up on the editing room floor. Heaven forbid that Fox’s viewers might be exposed to the truth that Biden has a sharp intellect and a firm grasp on the issues. As opposed to Trump, the “stable genius” who is still trying to convince people that he won in 2020, by a landslide.

Fox News Reveals Their True Abortion Stance: ‘What’s Most Important? Republicans Taking Over!’

Posted by on November 8, 2023 at 12:16 pm. 1 Comments :

Democrats across the country are celebrating some hard fought victories in parts of the country that are not generally considered friendly to Democrats. There are a variety of reasons to explain these electoral upsets, but one issue is is featured prominently in each case.

Fox News, Constitution

Ever since the Dobbs decision by the Trumpified Supreme Court that undid Roe vs Wade and reversed fifty years of reproductive health rights for American women, Democrats have won every major contest where abortion was on the ballot. And the same was true last night. Republicans went into election day confident that their extremist and broadly unpopular positions would deliver them to the theocratic Valhalla for which they yearn. But the American people clearly have more reverence for the Constitution than the GOP and its Dear Leader, Donald Trump.

SEE ALSO: Trump Literally Calls for Termination of the Constitution and FREAKS OUT Over Bogus Fox News Story

The morning after the election, Republicans were licking their wounds and searching for excuses to salve their searing disappointment at not being able to force their perverse distortions of faith down the throats of informed voters. And naturally, Fox News was quick to help comfort the forlorn GOP.

However, their attempted pacifications were more revealing than comforting. For instance, the following exchange on Fox and Friends between co-hosts Lawrence Jones and Ansley Earhardt exposed their political cynicism and utter absence of genuine principles:

Jones: 68% said abortion was “extremely or very important,” and only 32% said that it was “moderate or not important.”
Earhardt: It’s nearly seven in ten. Republicans have to figure out what their messaging is in order to go forward in the next election. We look at this midterm election as a way to gauge how Republicans or Democrats react going forward for 2024. So Republicans need to look at all of these numbers and really think about what’s more important. Yes, most people that are Republicans are probably pro-life. And we love our babies. And I love being a mother. But what’s most important? Republicans taking over. And Republicans being able to keep our country.”

That’s right. Earhardt explicitly announces that “Republicans taking over” is more important than their alleged belief that abortion is murder. And this is the lesson that she believes Republicans should learn from the losses they suffered the night before. Although, neither Earhardt, nor her confederates, offer a single suggestion about how to manifest that lesson.

The Fox and Friends crew were not alone on Fox News surrendering their supposedly deeply held convictions about abortion. Sean Hannity took essentially the same position saying that…

“I consider myself pro-life, but I understand that’s not where the country is. I would say first trimester or Dobbs 15 weeks seems to be where the country is, and these issues will be decided by the states.”

And also that…

“Democrats are trying to scare women into thinking Republicans don’t want abortion legal under any circumstances.”

In short, Hannity is also happy to abandon his faith and manufacture lies if it means scrounging up more votes from voters who aren’t paying close attention to the fact that Republicans will strip them of their rights no matter what concessions they are pretending to take on the day after their humiliating defeat at the polls.

Both Fox News and the Republican Party are transparently hypocritical and dishonest. They only care about attaining and preserving power. It’s the same mindset that drives them to obediently worship in the Cult of Trump. And it’s what defines Trump’s own authoritarian aspirations. None of them have the least bit of sincerity or adherence to ethical values. And you know it’s bad when they actually say so out loud.

Bizarro Trump Embraces the ‘Fake News’ New York Times, While Bashing the ‘Unwatchable’ Fox News

Posted by on November 7, 2023 at 1:15 pm. 1 Comments :

With election day 2024 now officially one year away, some people will begin paying a little more attention to campaigns and candidates. Although it’s still likely that most Americans will avoid the subject until after both Democrats and Republicans have selected their nominees at their respective conventions next summer.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

On the surface there doesn’t seem to be much mystery about who the candidates will be. President Biden is unlikely to have a serious challenger for the Democratic nomination. And since there are no Republicans who can be taken seriously about anything, Donald Trump will likely cruise to his party’s nomination. The Republican primary season has already begun with two debates completed and the third scheduled for this week. And Trump has chickened out of all three.

SEE THIS: Trump Chickens Out of the Fox News GOP Debate, Will Be Fluffed By Tucker Carlson Instead

Still, both Biden and Trump have vulnerabilities that could result in their being sidelined. Biden has been hammered in the allegedly “liberal” media for his advanced age, although he is only three years older than Trump, and noticeably more capable and better qualified to perform the duties of the office. Trump, on the other hand, has four indictments pending on 91 felony charges, and has been embarrassing himself with repeated episodes of his mental deterioration.

SEE ALSO: ‘It May Just Be that Mr. Trump is Incoherent’ – Says NBC Legal Analyst About Trump’s Testimony

Which brings us to the recent poll by the New York Times that found Trump to be leading Biden in five of six swing states. There are as many good reasons to be concerned about those results as there are to dismiss miss them as premature or outliers. So that can be debated elsewhere.

What’s interesting is that Republicans are downright giddy over these numbers and are convinced that they herald a certain Trump victory twelve months from now. And among the MAGA faithful who are clutching onto this poll is their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. In fact, Trump has already dropped five posts citing this poll on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social.

That’s right, Trump, who devoutly decries the New York Times as the “failing,” “fake news” arm of the “radical Marxist thugs” on the left, is now heralding them as an ideological ally and a bastion of insight and accuracy. For some reason Trump isn’t castigating the Times an anti-Trump rag populated by idiots who hate America. All of a sudden those idiots are prophets doing the Lord’s work.

At the same time, Trump has lately been chastising his longtime Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. He has rebuked it as a “dead, “unwatchable,” network that is “pushing the radical left, do-nothing Democrats,” and “is doing nothing to help Republicans, and me, get re-elected.”

SEE THIS: Trump Viciously Attacks Fox News, the Network He Says is ‘Dead, Totally Fake, Unwatchable’

If you thought you recently felt a reversal in Earth’s geomagnetic polarity, this might explain it. Or more likely, it may just be Trump’s tendency to take diametrically opposing views whenever he thinks it is in his interest to do so. And those positional reversals can occur over a matter of years, weeks, or even minutes.

Case in point, Trump just dispatched his attorney, Alina Habba, to Fox News, despite it’s deadness and unwatchability. However, while there Habba accidently said something that was uncharacteristically true. Following Trump’s testimony in his financial fraud case, she complained that “There’s a real disregard for authority here, and a real primary focus on politics.”

Habba’s remarks were an accurate description of Trump’s infantile behavior in court, although she might not have meant it that way. Fox meanwhile, identified her as “Alina Habba: Save America Legal Spokesperson,” rather than as his attorney. The question now is, will Trump have to dump Habba for fraternizing with the enemy? And will he renew his subscription to the no-longer-fake New York Times? Or will he simply adopt some other opinion that temporarily satisfies his voracious ego? The smart money is on the latter.

Fox News Host Asks Democrat What Biden Did to Create Jobs, Then Cuts Him Off When He Tells Her

Posted by on November 4, 2023 at 12:29 pm. NO Comments :

The success of President Biden’s economic policies is evident by almost every major indicator. The Biden administration is responsible for the nation’s record job growth, restoration of domestic manufacturing, inflation that has been declining for the past fifteen consecutive months, expanding healthcare and making it more affordable, and much more. All while reducing the deficit.

Fox News, Fake News

So naturally Republicans and their Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) have embarked on a campaign of lies and smears in order to deceive the American people and inflame their MAGA-tized supporters. They are so determined to spread their brand of disinformation that they are even putting critical aid to our allies in Israel and Ukraine at risk on behalf of wealthy corporations and tax cheats.

SEE THIS: Republicans in Congress are Holding Israelis Hostage to Aid for Wealthy American Tax Cheats

Democrats are making valiant efforts to counter the Republicans’ fictional dystopian fantasyland. For example, Rep. Ro Khanna of California ventured into the lion’s den of Fox News on Friday to try to expose their viewers to a few facts. He was met by a blatantly biased host who was clearly opposed to truthful information and was determined to prevent any from getting out.

Khanna: Let’s just look at some basic facts. Since the President has come into office almost 14 million jobs were created. Now 70% of those were jobs that were recovered. I grant that.
Smith: Can I just get in there, and I try not to interrupt [as she is interrupting[. “Created” is a very interesting word. Can you tell me what specific policy under this president created those jobs?
Khanna: Yes, I actually can. The American Rescue Plan, which put in money into infrastructure and helping people to stay employed in small businesses. The infrastructure bill, which has led to a boom in construction jobs. The Chips Act, which has led to a boom in manufacturing.
Smith (interrupting again): The reason I ask is because a lot of that was a rebound from the COVID pandemic, correct? [Khanna already said that]
Khanna: Seventy percent of those jobs were recovered from the COVID pandemic. I’m acknowledging that. But here’s the point. You know, it was recovered within two years because of the American Rescue Plan. We could have been in a Great Depression. Give the President credit for the recovery and the creation of new jobs. And the reality is that this was the policy of the American Rescue Plan, of the CHIPS Act, of the Infrastructure, of the Inflation Reduction Act. Four percent unemployment used to be considered full employment in this country. The inflation in this country at 3.7 percent is less than inflation anywhere else in the world.
Smith: I got it.

So Smith pretended that she wanted to know what policies President Biden had implemented that benefited the economy. But when Khanna surprised her by actually responding with the facts, she stopped him and asked him to concede a point that he had already made himself. Either she wasn’t listening or she didn’t care, because she was more focused on a “gotcha” moment that never came.

To his credit, Khanna rolled right over Smith’s interruptions, and finished laying out the record of Biden’s achievements. He made the salient point that, even though many of the jobs created during Biden’s term had previously been lost due to COVID, there was no guarantee that they would have been restored without the thoughtful and astute management of Biden and Democrats in Congress. In fact, nearly all Republicans voted against nearly all of the legislation that produced such positive results for the American people.

After Khanna had itemized some of Biden’s accomplishments, Smith cut him off again with a smug “I got it,” intended to short-circuit Khanna’s effective recitation of the economic realities. This is how Fox News works to keep their audience ignorant. And sadly, it works all too well too often. But then, it’s easier when the audience is eager to be lied to and swallows the most preposterous falsehoods without question.

Democrats need to continue to get out the message that Bidenomics is working. Maybe Fox News isn’t the best place to do that, but between now and the election next year they have to convince people that it is Biden and the Democrats who are working on their behalf – and succeeding.

GOOD LUCK: White House Asks Fox News to Apologize for ‘Hateful Lies’ By Racist Host Jesse Watters

Posted by on November 3, 2023 at 12:34 pm. 2 Comments :

The war in the Middle East between Hamas terrorists and Israel is continuing to cost the lives of untold numbers of civilians on both sides of the conflict. However, the tragic consequences of this war are not limited to the geographical region of the combatants. In some obvious and painful ways the war has been brought home to the U.S.

Click here to Tweet this article

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Americans of Jewish and Arab heritage are increasingly becoming the victims of vile bigots who are engaging in verbal and physical abuse against innocent people who have nothing to do with the war. Indeed, many of the victims are advocates for peace and tolerance. Even worse, among the blatant racists are leaders in the Republican Party such as their new Speaker, Mike Johnson, who is already callously politicizing the war…

SEE THIS: Republicans in Congress are Holding Israelis Hostage to Aid for Wealthy American Tax Cheats

To no one’s surprise, the GOP’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is leading the parade of prejudice. On Thursday Jesse Watters, Fox’s Senior White Nationalist since the exodus of Tucker Carlson, unleashed a repulsive rant attacking the entire Muslim population of America. He fumed feverishly that he wanted “to say something about Arab Americans and about the Muslim world.” Then he upchucked the following…

“We made them rich. We got that oil out of the ground. Our military protects all of these oil shipments, flying around the world, making them rich. We fund their military, we respect their kings. We kill their terrorists. OK? But we’ve had it. We’ve had it with them. Obama, Trump, now Biden, have tried to get the heck out of that stupid desert. Just as we’re about to get out, because we have this great balance of power we’re arranging, these crazy Muslim fanatics come in and massacre over a thousand of our allies and hold Jewish people hostage, hold Americans hostage. And so, if you are an Arab American in this country and you ripped down posters of Jewish hostages, American hostages. No. No. No. No. Someone is gonna get punched in the face.”

Notice that Watters directed this hostile harangue to Arab Americans. Not to the Hamas terrorists or anti-Semites in the U.S., but to every Arab resident in the country. And his threat of being “punched in the face” was likewise aimed broadly at an entire ethnic community. It is bitterly emblematic of the Islamophobia that infects the hate mongers of the ultra-right.

In response, President Biden had the White House issue a statement condemning Watters’ rancid rhetoric and asking Fox News for an apology. Never mind that Fox would never rise to the level of decency necessary to produce such an apology. To the contrary, they would more likely give Watters a bonus. The White House statement said that…

“These hateful lies about ‘Arab Americans and…the Muslim world’ highlight the urgency of President Biden’s work to ensure hate has no safe harbor in America, and why he committed to the first national anti-Islamophobia strategy in our history. These unacceptable remarks come just weeks after the heartbreaking killing of a 6 year old Palestinian-American child, and during a spike in threats against Muslim and Arab Americans.

“Fox News owes an apology to every single viewer for this sickening attack on the rights and dignity of their fellow Americans. President Biden will always stand up against Islamophobia, antisemitism, and all forms of hate. Fox News should learn from his example.”

Predictably, Republicans and other committed racists attacked Biden’s efforts to diminish bigotry. Across the rightosphere there were complaints that the Biden administration was focusing only on islamophobia and ignoring anti-Semitism. For instance, Fox News anchor Julie Banderas opined that “college campuses have become hot beds for Jew haters.” Then went on to criticize the administration saying…

“But then you have Kamala Harris, the vice president, who just this week launched a strategy to end anti-Islamophobia in this country, almost turning a complete blind eye to the true hatred in this country right now, and it’s anti-Semitism.”

Banderas’ Fox colleague, Steve Hilton, agreed insisting that college campuses where students protested attacks on Palestinian civilians need to be shut down. Which is both anti-Palestinian and anti-free speech. However, it’s consistent with the conservative opposition to education, in order to keep their followers stupid.

What’s more, these remarks are not merely racist. They are also flagrant lies. The Biden administration has spoken out repeatedly against anti-Semitism. And just two days prior to this rant on Fox News, the administration announced an initiative to address the growing anti-Semitism in America…

“The Biden administration is unveiling new actions Monday to combat antisemitism on college campuses after an ‘alarming’ uptick in incidents since the Israel-Hamas war started in early October. The departments of Justice and Homeland Security are partnering with campus law enforcement to track hate-related threats and provide federal resources to schools, according to the plan.”

So the cretins on Fox News and in the Republican Party are deliberately lying about the positive efforts by Biden to constrain hate mongering. And they are also lying in order to exacerbate the hatred of Muslim and Arab Americans. That’s because they want these relationships to sour so that they can blame any unrest on Biden and the Democrats. And they just don’t care who gets hurt.

Peter Doocy of Fox News is APPALLED that Biden is Working to Free American Hostages in Gaza

Posted by on November 2, 2023 at 1:44 pm. 2 Comments :

The war being waged in the Middle East between Hamas terrorists and Israel continues to produce horrific casualties for innocent civilians on both sides. The Biden administration has been staunchly supportive of the right of our allies in Israel to defend themselves, as well as the welfare of Palestinians in the line of fire and those displaced by the conflict.

Fox News, Peter Doocy

In the meantime, Republicans in Congress have lowered themselves to politicizing the issue by conditioning critical aid to Israel and Gaza civilians on a callously political handout to America’s ultra rich and corporations. The GOP scheme pairs the aid to a cut in funding for the IRS, which would result not only in allowing wealthy tax cheats to get away with their crimes, but also a $26 billion increase in the nation’s budget deficit.

SEE THIS: Republicans in Congress are Holding Israelis Hostage to Aid for Wealthy American Tax Cheats

With all of that roiling the political environment in Washington, Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, sought to contribute his unique brand of bias and deflection during a press briefing on Thursday morning. The predictably partisan narrative stuffed into his loaded questions resulted in the following exchange with John Kirby, the spokesman for the National Security Council…

Doocy: Talking about getting Americans out of Gaza, President Biden said “I want to thank our partners in the region and particularly Qatar.” The leader of Hamas lives in Qatar. So why is President Biden thanking them for anything?
Kirby: Oh jeez, Peter! Let’s take a step back and look at this.
Doocy: This is the group that killed Americans and kidnapped Americans within the last month.
Kirby: Peter, Qatar has been helpful in getting those Americans out. I’m sure that you would agree with me, and everyone at your network would agree, that getting American hostages out is a good thing. And Qatar is a key player in that regard. Qatar has lines of communication with Hamas that almost nobody else has.

Now, I’m not saying we support Hamas. Of course we don’t. They’re a terrorist organization. And Israel has an absolute right to go after them. But Qatar has lines of communication that not everybody else has, and it would be irresponsible – in fact I would expect that you and everyone else in here would be going after me if we weren’t doing everything that we could, and having every possible conversation we can have, to get Americans that are held hostage back home with their families. If we weren’t doing that it would be diplomatic malpractice.

First of all, Kirby is mistaken if he believes that Doocy and “everyone at [his] network” agree that freeing American hostages takes priority over their partisan political objectives. As evidenced by their conditional aid to Israel, Republicans are far more fixated on providing aid to their privileged domestic donors than to the victims of foreign wars.

Furthermore, Doocy is exhibiting his famously biased and ignorant perspective on current affairs by failing to grasp that American and Israeli hostages are not going to be released without the help of Qataris who have open lines of communications with Hamas. Trying to bully Qatar into going after Hamas personnel would not advance the goal of freeing Americans. And there will be plenty of time to pursue Hamas after the hostages are safe.

Nevertheless, Doocy persisted with his line of questioning, provoking Kirby to reiterate that “We are working with Qatar to get our people out and to help get aid in. That’s our priority right now.” Kirby also noted that the U.S. helping Israel to go after the terrorists. Which, as previously noted, is something that Republicans in Congress are working against with their conditional aid to Israel. Maybe Doocy should ask Republicans about that.

GOP Oversight Chair Spins Litany of Lies Alleging Biden Financial ‘Scandal’ that Doesn’t Exist

Posted by on November 1, 2023 at 1:38 pm. 4 Comments :

The Republican Party has pursued a singular legislative focus throughout the administration of President Joe Biden. That focus, unfortunately for the American people, has been to try to manufacture scandals aimed at smearing the reputation of Biden, rather than to pass bills that advance the interests of the nation and its citizens.

Joe Biden, GOP, Elephant

The neglect of their congressional duties has prevented the most basic functions of the House of Representatives from being carried out. Those include avoiding a catastrophic debt ceiling default, and passing the appropriations bills that keep the government from shutting down. Recently, this GOP fixation on maligning Biden has even seeped into critical emergency funding for America’s allies in Israel and Ukraine.

SEE THIS: Republicans in Congress are Holding Israelis Hostage to Aid for Wealthy American Tax Cheats

Now, after a humiliating three week long quest for a new House Speaker, Republicans have returned to the bitterly partisan work that they think is most important for the country. And leading the charge is GOP Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee. In his role as chairman, Comer was tasked by the ousted GOP Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, with conducting “impeachment inquiry” hearings based on nothing more than the their obsession with dragging Biden down. And on Wednesday morning, under the direction pf new GOP Speaker Mike Johnson, he proudly showed off the rotten fruit of his odious labor.

Comer released a video wherein he sought to reveal what he regards as “smoking gun” proof that Biden had received extorted funds from China. The only problem with the fairy tale that Comer weaved was that it lacked any evidence whatsoever of any impropriety on Biden’s part. Other than that it was spellbinding. And naturally, Fox News was all over this faux scandal, and Donald Trump posted four comments about it on his failing social media scam, Truth Social.

In the video (posted below), Comer made multiple baseless assertions, including his blatantly false claim that “$40,000 in laundered China money landed in Joe Biden’s bank account.” He also alleged that “It all began with a shakedown in the summer of 2017” instigated by Hunter Biden. Elaborating, Comer said that…

“As Hunter Biden extorted this associate, Hunter claimed he was sitting with his father and that the Biden network would turn on his associate if he didn’t pony up the money. The extortion scheme worked.”

Notice that there is no proof that Hunter Biden was “sitting with his father,” or that President Biden was involved in any way. But that didn’t stop Comer from using such loaded language as “laundered,” “shakedown,” and “extortion.”

Then Comer struggled to piece together a labyrinthine path of fund transfers that allegedly went from a Chinese company, through some Biden family businesses, and eventually to Joe Biden. But Comer never manages to show any relationship between any of these financial transactions and the President. They are simply business transactions that occurred over time, followed by a personal loan repayment to Joe Biden. This isn’t the first time that Comer has attempted – and failed – to use this brazen distortion of events to bash Biden.

SEE ALSO: Desperate Republicans Seek to Impeach President Biden Because – His Brother Repays Loans?

By the same “logic” that Comer is contorting you could say that Comer laundered funds from the U.S. government (his congressional paycheck) to pay his mortgage. But even in his own conclusion, Comer admits that there is nothing of substance in his meandering fairy tale, saying that…

“It’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara [Biden] used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe. But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name”

No, it absolutely does not show that Joe Biden benefited. You cannot claim that he benefited when all he got out of it was a loan repaid by his brother without interest. Nevertheless, Comer lies outright saying that all of this “began when Joe Biden was still Vice President.” But Comer is contradicting himself. He started his video saying that “it all began … in the summer of 2017,” when Biden was neither an officeholder nor a candidate.

Finally, Comer closes by asserting with zero evidence that “Joe Biden exposed himself to future blackmail and put America’s interests behind his own desire for money.” Once again, there is no proof of any of that. No proof whatsoever of blackmail, or personal interest, or greed. Nor is there any proof that any policies were adopted that benefited the Chinese companies that Comer mentions.

Literally everything that Comer disgorges in his “bombshell” video is unproven, illogical, and driven by blind political animus. But it does explain why he recently told reporters that “I don’t know that I want to hold any more hearings, to be honest with you,” because he now prefers depositions which “you can do more with.” By which he means more lying.

No wonder Comer is afraid to hold more hearings. He knows that the hearings he has held thus far have only embarrassed him and his Republican confederates. They have not only failed to incriminate Biden, they have actually exonerated him. And as Jessica Tarlov of Fox News noted, “If there were any ‘smoking guns’ around, you’d probably have more hearings.”

BE AFRAID: Trump is Scared that the New York Post Has ‘Gone Bad’ and May Soon ‘Be No More’

Posted by on October 31, 2023 at 3:56 pm. 2 Comments :

On this All Hallows Eve the Creature From the Black (Mar-a) Lagoon is prowling the Interwebs with his plaintive whines and sharpened combover in search of weakened RINOs and the fearsome “Fake News.” In his corporal disguise as Desperate Donald Trump, he is casting infantile insults at his perceived foes, which includes those on whom he used to depend for propaganda and adoring affirmation.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

Forsaking the season’s traditions of entertaining children and dispensing sweets, Trump was up late posting pathetic comments on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social. At 1:12 AM Trump yowled “REMEMBER, CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS RADICAL LEFT THUGS WAITED THREE YEARS TO BRING THESE INDICTMENTS & LAWSUITS AGAINST ME, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CAMPAIGN!” Then, at 4:24 AM, he re-posted the same comment, cryptically adding “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” These are laments that have lately been consuming his oatmeal-like brain matter.

SEE THIS: Trump is FREAKING OUT, Saying that His Trials Should Have Started Before He Committed His Crimes

As the day wore on, Trump’s tantrums became more pronounced and less coherent. And by midday he was in a rage over some undisclosed offense committed by the New York Post, the sister newspaper to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. Trump wailed that…

“Since the New York Post went bad on Trump – and they have gone bad – their numbers have fallen tremendously. People aren’t buying it. They don’t wanna read that. The New York Post has treated me great for almost a lifetime. And now, for whatever reason – and I guess it’s radical left or the RINO stuff – they have gone really bad, and it’s ridiculous. But their numbers are down. The numbers of readers and everything else have gone down tremendously. Great people are tired of hearing fake news. The New York Post used to be so good, but not anymore. We have to get it back before it’s too late. Because frankly, if they don’t change, there will be no more New York Post. And that would be sad.”

Judging by his babbling repetition, Trump is apparently of the opinion that the New York Post has “gone bad” and that that is “sad.” He doesn’t bother to back up his claims that “their numbers have fallen tremendously,” but anyone who has paid attention to the print news business knows that most newspapers have suffered declines in the digital age, and that it has nothing to do with being insufficiently worshipful toward Trump.

Perhaps Trump is upset in sympathy with the Post’s White House correspondent, Steven Nelson, who has been bitterly complaining that Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, hasn’t called on him lately. A couple of weeks ago he barked that “You haven’t called on me in two seasons Karine.” To which she replied, “And I’m not calling on you today.”

Now he’s lashed out again after trying to ask a political question about the 2024 presidential election, which would be improper for White House personnel to comment on. After Jean-Pierre told him that she wasn’t going to answer his question, he yelled out that “It’s anti-democratic to refuse questions from our country’s fourth largest newspaper, Karine.”

Maybe he should try asking proper questions, rather than making political attacks in costumes covering up his thinly veiled MAGA motives. [Note: Steven Nelson of the Post advises me that he was not the reporter who asked the political question. That was an assumption based on the video clip above that was unclear and unwarranted].

It’s all pretty darn terrifying. Especially Trump’s obvious psychotic collapse. If only this was just a Halloween prank. But it is all too apparent that Trump is in a downward spiral that is noticeably accelerating. And it is horrific that he still attracts a small but noisy band of glassy-eyed disciples who want him back in the White House. And that, to put it mildly, would be sad.

Trump’s Spokesperson Says He is ‘Confused’ About Why His Former Lawyers Would Plead Guilty

Posted by on October 29, 2023 at 12:33 pm. 2 Comments :

The past couple of weeks have been extraordinarily troubling for Donald Trump, who is currently awaiting trial on 91 felony charges. He was fined twice for violating a court order to refrain from attacking court personnel and witnesses. His crime family accomplices, Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr, have been ordered to testify the first week of November. And even his former lawyers have been taking plea deals to save themselves.

The fact that Trump’s family and attorneys are potentially flipping has been gnawing at him. Trump’s customary response to such heinous disloyalty is to pretend that he has never met the slimeball who has turned on him, or that they were cowards who merely delivered the coffee. But that’s a much more difficult argument when they are his legal representative and his children.

SEE THIS: BREAKING: Trump Admits that He Knows His Daughter Ivanka, a Witness in His Financial Fraud Case

In the wake of these defections by his closest associates, Trump’s spokesperson, Liz Harrington, rose to his defense in a particularly peculiar manner. She was interviewed by Emerald Robinson, who has the distinction of having been fired by Newsmax for promoting a crackpot conspiracy theory that the COVID vaccine contained “Luciferase,” an allegedly Satanic, bioluminescent marker that would be used to track people.

Robinson landed at Mike Lindell’s video blog where she continues to disgrace herself as a profoundly deranged propagandist and Trump cultist. The interview contained the following exchange about Trump’s legal quagmire…

Robinson: How does the President feel about these former lawyers, or his former associates pleading guilty? What are his thoughts on these developments?
Harrington: Well, I think he’s a little confused because if you’re a lawyer you know that there’s no crimes here. According to the law there’s literally nothing to plead guilty to because there’s no laws that were broken. And speaking out against a fraudulent election, and telling people to watch hearings and petition their elected officials about fraud that was happening on camera? I mean, it’s just surprising.

Robinson’s question is curious in that she asks how “the President” feels about the betrayal by Trump’s legal team. But how would Harrington know what President Biden is feeling about that or anything else?

Harrington’s reply, however, was unexpectedly honest. Her characterization of Trump as “confused” accurately describes his grasp of pretty much any issue. He is, after all, the guy who thinks that he’s currently running against Obama, that windmills kill whales, that stealth fighters are actually invisible, that we should nuke hurricanes, that George Washington’s Army took over airports, and that injecting bleach will cure COVID. And on the basis of that display of his “stable genius”, Trump says that “ANYBODY running for the Office of President of the United States should agree to take a full & complete Mental Competency Test.” Okay, you first.

Harrington edges closer to the truth in saying that “if you’re a lawyer you know” whether or not a crime has been committed. And so far four of Trump’s lawyers (Michael Cohen, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis) are so certain that crimes were committed that they pleaded guilty to their own participation in them. If Harrington’s assertion that there is “literally nothing to plead guilty to,” then why have four lawyers done just that?

Harrington went on to claim that Trump and his ex-counsel were just “speaking out against a fraudulent election, and telling people to watch hearings and petition their elected officials about fraud.” But she left out that they also knew that the allegations of election fraud were lies, and that their actions included fabricating false election forms and threatening state election officials.

So Harrington is surprised that Trump is confused? Just because he can’t tell the truth about the unlawful conduct that his own attorneys have confessed to? She may be even more surprised that the judges and juries who will hear these cases won’t be the least bit confused when the convict him. And his cult disciples will be both dazed and confused, singing “You hurt and abuse, telling all of your lies. Run ’round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize.”

Speaker Mike Johnson is Already Pushing the Phony Biden Impeachment, Despite Having No Evidence

Posted by on October 27, 2023 at 1:48 pm. 1 Comments :

The brand, spanking new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, is making a huge splash in his inaugural days on the job. He began by calling for a five day recess, presumably because the three week long humiliating and chaotic fiasco that preceded his elevation to Speaker wasn’t enough wasted time.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

Johnson’s fanatical right-wing views are getting some attention now that the extended melodrama of the Speaker’s election is past. He is an ardent election denier and an architect of the fraud that Donald Trump and others have been indicted for. He is an advocate of banning abortion without exemptions. He’s opposed to LGBTQ rights and gay marriage. He wants to cut or curtail Social Security and Medicare. His platform would actually make a darn good campaign ad for Democrats. And Fox News has already produced it for them.

SEE THIS: Fox News Turns Mike Johnson’s Conspiracy Theories Into a Great Campaign Ad – For Democrats

When Speaker Johnson finally gavels Congress back into session next week, it is certain that the issues on his agenda will reflect his radical political views rather than the best interests of the American people. For example, among the top topics that Johnson cited in his recent and squishy interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News was the purely partisan smear campaign against President Biden that Republicans call an “impeachment inquiry.” Despite pretending that he intends “to follow the truth where it leads and engage in due process,” Johnson told Hannity that…

“It’s a real problem. That’s the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the President himself. Because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachable offenses. You know that’s listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution. You know, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Bribery is listed there, and it looks and smells a lot like that.”

So Johnson admits that he has already concluded that the “evidence” will lead to “impeachable offenses.” Never mind that there is literally zero evidence of any wrongdoing associated with President Biden. Johnson also admits that his GOP colleagues “are getting anxious and they’re getting restless and they just want somebody to be impeached.” And it is that anxiety and restlessness that is driving the irrational and biased probes of Biden, not any legal justification or production of proof.

If Johnson really cared about the rule of law, as he claims, he would be impaneling a committee to investigate Donald Trump’s provably unlawful conduct, along with that of his family who have received billions from foreign oligarchs. Instead, Johnson and his lackeys are struggling to fabricate scandals where none exist.

However, their efforts just keep backfiring on them. Republican Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has effectively conceded that his hearings have flopped and, rather than incriminating Biden, they have actually exonerated him.

Consequently, Comer is now suggesting that he will stop holding his phony public hearings, but will conduct depositions in private. As reported in the Washington Post…

“Comer and his colleagues, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have repeatedly presented new allegations as proof of Biden’s wrongdoing — only to have them slowly be revealed as incomplete, misleading or unimportant.” […]

“’I don’t know that I want to hold any more hearings, to be honest with you,’ Comer said while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill last week. He complained that it was hard to keep members present for hours on end, given that so many had other commitments. Instead, he said, he preferred depositions, which ‘you can do more with.'”

Comer is correct in saying that by retreating to the back rooms of Congress he “can do more.” He can do more cherry-picking of out-of-context testimony. He can do more misleading interpretations of what witnesses say. And he can do more outright lying to defame Biden and poison the public discourse.

What he can’t do more of is present any actual evidence of impeachable offenses. But that’s only because there isn’t any. Unfortunately, that won’t stop Comer, or Johnson, or the rest of the dishonest Republican machine from slandering Biden and other Democrats. It’s really all they know how to do.
