Trump’s Press Secretary Lies to Fox News About the Now Nonexistent Epstein Client List

Posted by on July 7, 2025 at 1:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was a cornucopia of conspiracy theories. Prominent among them were the allegations related to convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a reputed “client list” containing the names of people who allegedly participated in his criminal pedophilia parties.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

The mysterious list was said to include Trump, who was known to have been a longtime friend of Epstein, and had been a passenger on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” This is consistent with the behavior of Trump, who was found liable in a civil lawsuit for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.

The Epstein client list reentered the news cycle on Monday morning when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to a question from Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy…

Doocy: The FBI looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, ‘this systematic review reveals no incriminating client list.’ So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt: I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network — on Fox News…
Doocy: I’ve got the quote. John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she said, ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’ Why?
Leavitt: She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork — all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – that’s what the Attorney General was referring to, and I will let her speak for that. But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.

DOOCY: The report says there's no Epstein client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on desk?LEAVITT: She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork was on her desk

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-07T17:44:09.501Z

The report that Doocy was referring to was from Axios, who published an article revealing that the current heads of Trump’s Justice Department regime – Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Kash Patel (FBI director), and Dan Bongino (FBI deputy director) – are now denying that any Epstein client list ever existed. According to Axios…

“Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a ‘client list’ or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.”

That’s a peculiar conclusion considering that Bondi had explicitly said that she had the actual list on her desk and was reviewing it. Doocy pointed that out to Leavitt, who abruptly switched into reality distortion mode to claim that Bondi was referring to “the entirety of all of the paperwork [on] Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.” Which was clearly not what she was referring to. For reference, here is the video of Bondi on Fox News in February, and her exchange with Roberts saying…

Roberts: DoJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients? Will that really happen?
Bondi: It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by president Trump.

Trump's AG, Pam Bondi, needs to explain how the Epstein client list was on her desk in February, and she was reviewing it "at the directive of the president," but now says that it doesn't exist.Where did it go, Pam? Did Trump, for some reason, direct you to make it disappear?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-07T16:15:36.697Z

The media needs to hold both Leavitt and Bondi accountable for their statements. Leavitt needs to explain why she lied about what Bondi said about having the list on her desk. Bondi needs to explain how the list was on her desk in February, but now says that it doesn’t exist. And Trump needs to explain why his prior promises to release everything about his friend Epstein have gone unfulfilled.

Trump cannot complain that the “Deep State” is suppressing the truth. All of his own appointees are in the positions responsible for releasing all of the information. So who is he trying to protect? You get one guess.

Fire Lara Trump! The Fox News Host is Violating Network Policy By Floating a NC Senate Bid

Posted by on July 6, 2025 at 12:10 pm. 0 Comments :

The Era of Donald Trump has introduced America to some profoundly disturbing new concepts in government and politics. They range from his expressing admiration for the nation’s enemies, while insulting and alienating its allies; enriching himself at the expense of his own worshipful cult followers; and pursuing a path to his reigning as an anti-democratic dictator in the mold of his fascist heroes.

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

All the while, Trump has greased the skids of this decline in democracy by suppressing and lambasting the free press and replacing it with a propaganda regime based on the sycophantic idolatry practiced in totalitarian societies like Russia and North Korea. His own Cabinet exudes the glassy-eyed adoration of unquestioning disciples.

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

Trump has front-loaded his administration with billionaires and devotees recruited from Fox News (21 so far). They include Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense), Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence), and Sean Duffy (Secretary of Transportation). While he has simultaneously dispatched members of the Trump cult to Fox News to spread his manufactured messages and lies.

Chief among those is Trump’s own daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who earlier this year debuted her own show on Fox News. Predictably, it has been a circus of Trump-fluffing interviews and disinformation. The absurdity of an alleged “news” network giving a primetime program to a close relative of the sitting occupier of the White House is impossible to overstate. Imagine how the MAGA cult would respond if Hunter Biden were given his own show on MSNBC.

Now a new controversy has enveloped Lara’s program. With the announcement that North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis will not be running for reelection, speculation has emerged that Lara would vie for the seat. While she was born in the state, she has not lived there in ten years. What’s more, she previously considered running for the Senate in Florida, where she currently resides. However, the fact that Lara is using her platform on Fox News to promote her possible candidacy ought to be causing trouble for the right-wing network.

To be clear, this would only cause a problem if Fox News operated with any shred of professional integrity. Which hasn’t been the case since their founding. However, their own employee policies prohibit Lara from remaining on the air. The Fox Political Activities Policy specifically references “running for political office” as an activity that would trigger concerns about ongoing employment. Even if the candidacy is only under consideration. It says that…

“Any employee considering running for elected office is encouraged to consult FOX Government Relations early in the decision-making process to review the relevant laws that could impact the employee’s candidacy.”

Fox News is well aware of this likely breach of their corporate rules and regulations. In 2022, citing the company policy, Fox News pink-slipped Lara as a contributor on Fox when she was mulling her bid for senator in Florida. But now it’s an even more blatant violation as she hosts her own show that features nothing but GOP guests hyping her sugar-daddy-in-law’s agenda.

Nobody should hold their breath waiting for Fox News to do the right thing and cancel Lara’s program. In fact, they are increasing her exposure with guest appearances on other Fox shows, such as Hannity and Fox and Friends. And none of those segments mention that she would be a carpetbagger in North Carolina, where she would have to establish residency by September 20, 2025, in order to run. Will she and Eric vacate their Florida home for this? Stay tuned.

Pathological Liar! Trump’s 3 Biggest Lies He Told on July 4th – Or Maybe Just the Dumbest

Posted by on July 5, 2025 at 1:45 pm. 1 Comments :

It may not be regarded as news anymore when Donald Trump is caught uttering blatant falsehoods without an iota of shame. He has done it tens of thousands of times since his emergence as a public figure. And sadly, the media has become inured to Trump’s deliberate dishonesty and often neglects to give it the attention it deserves.

Trump Lies

Trump’s deceptions are still frequent and more dangerous than ever. They distort everything from national security, to the economy, to law and justice, to health matters, and so much more. And despite the transparency of his untruths, his worshipful cult disciples embrace whatever Dear Leader tells them as if it were gospel. Never mind how maniacally insane and hostile his outbursts have become.

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

Not surprisingly, Trump spent the July 4th holiday disgorging his daily quota of lies. Most of them were tangentially related to his signing of the “Big Ugly Bill” (BUB) that will terminate the health insurance of millions of Americans, deprive low income families of food, and finance more fascist apprehensions of migrants. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and exploding the national debt.

Melded into this monstrosity of malice were some of Trump’s most flagrant lies. What follows are three of the most notable. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list. That would be both prohibitively time consuming given the quantity of his lies, and redundant given his penchant for repeating the same lies incessantly. But it is a representative sample of Trump’s psychotic dysfunction.

Let’s begin with Trump’s assertion that the BUB is “the most popular bill ever signed in history.” Not only is that a lie, but the truth is the the complete opposite. It may be the least popular bill ever signed. Every poll shows that American people are steadfastly opposed to it. Even the Fox News poll has it 21 points underwater.

Not only is the #BigUglyBill not "the most popular bill ever signed in history"…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:26:59.919Z

Next we have Trump’s claim that his BUB delivers “no tax on Social Security.” Nope. That is not in the bill. While it does have an increased standard deduction that could reduce the tax owed by some recipients, there is no language that exempts Social Security from taxation. Furthermore, the bill ignores the single most impactful reform for Social Security, which would be raising or eliminating the cap on the income subject to FICA withholding. Also, the provisions related to taxes on tips and overtime are temporary, while the tax cuts for the rich are permanent.

Trump blatantly lies that his #BigUglyBill delivers "no tax on social security." That is not in the bill.What's more, the cuts for taxes on tips and overtime are limited and expire in two years. The cuts for corporations and the wealthy are broad and permanent.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:23:19.415Z

Finally, Trump unleashed a typically incoherent rant about energy wherein he gushed about what he called “clean, beautiful coal,” while raging over wind, saying that…

“We’re putting up wind, wind. It doesn’t work. I will tell you, aside from ruining our fields and our valleys, killing all the birds, being very weak and very expensive, all made in China. You know, I noticed something, with all of the windmills that China sends us where we waste our money because it’s the most expensive energy – you know they make about 95% of them, wind turbines – I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that? Somebody check that out, Tom Emmer will you please check that out.”

So which is it: Is Trump lying, stupid, or both?"China widens wind power lead with new generation record: China's wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country."reuters.com/world/china/…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T17:07:19.346Z

For the record, this is what Trump says that he has never seen, as reported by Reuters, “China widens wind power lead with new generation record“…

China’s wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country and as much as all of Europe and North America combined, data from energy think tank Ember shows.

“The production total was 25% more than during the same month in 2023, and helps extend China’s dominant position as by far the world’s largest renewable energy producer [and is] part of Beijing’s ambitious plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.”

So while China is taking the lead in the future of clean energy production and technologies, Trump is ensuring that the U.S. races full speed backwards to the early 1900s when fossil fuels sickened millions of workers and poisoned the environment for everybody else.

These are just a handful of Trump’s horrific distortions of reality. In the same speech he dropped a grossly anti-Semitic slur referring to bankers as “shylock.” He declared that he hates all Democrats, who comprise more than half of the country’s population and about half of their representatives in Congress. And he celebrated the passage of the BUB by accepting a gift of the gavel used by GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, at the close of the vote. Which could not have been a more appropriate symbol of how Congress has subjugated itself to their master and messiah, Trump…

The symbolism of this is just too much.GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson hands over control of the House of Representatives to the aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump as he signs the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that the American people oppose.

Trump Plans a UFC Fight at the White House to Bring it More of that Trump Class and Dignity

Posted by on July 4, 2025 at 12:47 pm. 3 Comments :

Following his triumphant mission to terminate health insurance for nearly 12 million Americans, while cutting taxes for billionaires and exploding the national debt, Donald Trump has quickly pivoted to a new project that is certain to shower the nation in the stately grandeur that makes so many citizens proud.

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

During a campaign style rally in Iowa, Trump announced his intention to stage an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House. This is the sort of august affair that is consistent with Trump’s other recent enhancements to the People’s House, such as two giant flag poles, the paving over of the Rose Garden, the hanging of his mugshot paintings, and refurbishing the Oval Office with faux-gold ornaments and décor. All in an effort to encourage pride and patriotism.

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

Where would the nation be without Trump’s lofty facade of MAGA-sterial munificence? The elegance that he exudes with every utterance was evident as he thrilled his cult followers at the State Fair in Des Moines with news of his latest sleazy spectacle…

“We’re going to have a UFC fight. Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana is going to do it. Dana is great, one of a kind — going to be a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘250’ also.”

Trump: "We're gonna have a UFC fight on the grounds on the White House … we're gonna do that as part of 250."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-04T01:13:18.000Z

What could be more representative of the Era of Trump than a phony sporting event featuring hulk-like contestants in trunks pretending to battle it out to win a humongous, gaudy belt and a dubious title? Maybe Trump himself will enter the contest and win another participation trophy like the dozens he has awarded himself at his own golf courses.

In addition to boosting the classiness of the White House, Trump is rewarding a longtime political ally and financial backer. UFC boss, Dana White, is an old friend and business associate of Trump’s who donated a million dollars to his “America First Action” super?PAC. That political action committee was chaired by Linda McMahon, the former head of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which is part of the same corporate family as the UFC.

McMahon is also Trump’s current Secretary of Education. Seriously…Education(!?) She recently decreed that, in order for universities to receive federal grants that fund life-saving research on cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other devastating illnesses, they must be “in sync” with the Trump administration. And she is a full fledged member of the Trump cult who giddily participates in his glorification ceremonies…

SUCH AS…Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

As usual, Trump is bathing America in the sewage of his tacky persona, and exploiting his office to benefit himself and his cronies. He couldn’t care less about the American people or the reputation of the United States as it nears its 250 year anniversary. Count on Trump to make things even worse as the celebration nears and he begins to pitch his 250th birthday bibles, sneakers, and posters of himself as a jacked Uncle Sam.

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

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

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

Donald Trump Yelling at Karoline Leavitt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on June 29, 2025 at 12:50 pm. 0 Comments :

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

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

Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on June 25, 2025 at 3:31 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, MAGA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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