Cantankerous Trump Demonstrates Precisely Why His Gag Order Was Appropriately Reinstated

Posted by on November 30, 2023 at 2:33 pm. 1 Comments :

The trials and tribulations of Donald Trump continue to unfold in ways that reveal just how far down the rabid hole he has descended. As his legal peril increases, so does his hostility and his irrational reactions to the charges he faces and the consequences of his criminal conduct.

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump has spent the past few weeks pounding out vicious assaults and bitter laments aimed at those he perceives as his mortal enemies. And they aren’t just Democrats and insufficiently worshipful Republicans. Trump is big mad at the prosecutors and judges who hold his fate and freedom in their hands.

SEE THIS: Trump On Trial: It’s a Travesty of a Sham of a Mockery of a Travesty of Two Mockeries of a Sham

On Thursday Trump unleashed an avalanche of vitriol on his failing social media scam, Truth Social. He posted a burst of fifty-seven (57!) comments, from about 7:00 AM until noon, that either exalted him as a messianic savior, or maligned his many foes.

The largest category of comments were eleven that were aimed at someone he thinks is the wife of Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over his financial fraud case in New York. There is no proof that his target is actually who he thinks she is, but that’s of no matter to him. He is sharply focused on disgorging his anger on whoever is handy.

[UPDATE: CBS News reports that the person that Trump is attacking is not Judge Engoron’s wife}

The posts by Trump attempt to suggest that the judge’s wife is anti-Trump. They contain pictures of memes disparaging Trump and referencing his pending criminal cases. For instance, one shows Trump as a green-faced witch with text reading…

“Trump’s ‘witch hunt’ theory misses a crucial thing: his OWN CONDUCT. It’s not like Trump’s behavior is being questioned for no reason. He just keeps doing things that require investigation. Trump would do well to remember that it is only a witch hunt if the accusations are untrue.”

It’s interesting that Trump would post something that makes such a good point about why he is not the victim of a witch hunt. Trump added his thoughts saying that…

“This is the Judge’s Wife saying this, and many things much worse. At what point do High Court Officials step in, and end this Witch Hunt? Judge Engoron is making fools of the New York State Judicial System!”

Trump needs to be told that, unless there is some evidence of bias, the views of a judge’s wife (if that’s who she is) have no bearing on the decisions he makes in court. And there is zero evidence of any bias by Judge Engoron. This is not like the obvious biases shown by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for whom there is abundant evidence of bias that makes the bizarre extremism of his wife, Ginni, so concerning.

The other ten posts attacking the alleged Mrs. Engoron are more of the same. Trump calls her “out of control,” and “an embarrassment,” and “Trump-hating,” and insists that her opinions warrant impeaching him from the judiciary.

Attacks like these are why Judge Engoron imposed a gag order on Trump to prohibit him from lashing out court staffers. The gag order was later stayed pending appeal. However, the appeals court just reinstated it.

Trump himself is providing the best arguments for his being subject to a gag order. The order is narrowly defined and limited to court staff. Consequently, Trump could still aim his ire at the judge and his family Even though a decent person would never do so. He can also continue his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. So despite his tedious whining, his free speech rights are not being suppressed.

Trump’s behavior shows that he is an unrepentant bully who is determined to intimidate the court, the prosecutors, and the witnesses. And the more he talks, the more ammunition he gives to the court to muzzle him. He represents an imminent danger to innocent people and ought to be held to the same standards as any other defendant. But he’s likely to continue behaving unethically and childishly because it’s just in his nature.

Trump Threatens to ‘Come Down Hard on’ MSNBC and ‘Make Them Pay’ for Daring to Criticize Him

Posted by on November 29, 2023 at 12:58 pm. 3 Comments :

One thing you can say for Donald Trump is that he isn’t ashamed to admit his authoritarian aspirations and his intentions to reign in the mold of his tyrannical heroes Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping. And the American people need to believe him when he promises to replace democracy with a dictatorship with him at the helm.

Donald Trump, Constitution

This isn’t a momentary lapse in judgement or an inadvertent gaffe. Trump has been bragging about his dictatorial dreams for years. He yearns to have the unchallenged power of Putin whose political foes seem to keep falling out of windows. Those not done in by gravity would be jailed by Trump, who has no respect for the the rule of law or the Constitution.

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

On Wednesday morning Trump lashed out at the press that he regards, in Stalinist terms, as the “the enemy of the people.” In a post on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Trump raged that…

“MSNBC (MSDNC) uses FREE government approved airwaves, and yet it is nothing but a 24 hour hit job on Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Brian Roberts, its Chairman and CEO, is a slimeball who has been able to get away with these constant attacks for years. It is the world’s biggest political contribution to the Radical Left Democrats who, by the way, are destroying our Country. Our so-called ‘government’ should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity. Much more to come, watch!”

There’s a surprising quantity of bullpucky in that brief, bombastic outburst. Let’s start with the fact that Trump, as usual, doesn’t know what he’s talking about with regard to MSNBC’s programming. It is distributed on private cable networks, so there are no “government approved airwaves” involved.

As for Trump’s rant about MSNBC being biased against Republicans, the network has given four hours of every weekday morning to Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, and another two hours in the afternoon to Nicolle Wallace, who was the White House communications director for former president George W. Bush. To be sure, both are avowed critics of Trump, but as appropriately disgusted Republicans, not as “Radical Left Democrats.”

Trump is also showing his ignorance of the media business by citing Brian Roberts as MSNBC’s chairman and CEO. He is not. Rashida Jones is the president of MSNBC. Mike Cavanagh is the CEO the network’s parent company, NBC/Universal. Brian Roberts heads up Comcast, of which NBC/Universal is a subsidiary.

Furthermore, if Trump is so appalled by people on MSNBC criticizing Trump with well-reasoned and fully backed up analyses of his abhorrent positions and personality, what must he think of Fox News? After all, they slobber over him with undeserved and cultish adulation, while defaming his opponents with blatant falsehoods. Isn’t that “a 24 hour hit job” and “ELECTION INTERFERENCE?” It surely is a huge “political contribution” to Trump who actually is committed to “destroying our Country.” And it was Fox News, not MSNBC, who had to pay a nearly billion dollar settlement for their defamation and lies.

SEE ALSO: The Fox News 3/4 Billion Dollar Dominion Defamation Settlement is Also a Judgment Against Trump

The worst part of Trump’s commentary on MSNBC is his overt threat that, if given the opportunity, he would use the government to “come down hard on them and make them pay.” He is openly trying to intimidate MSNBC, as well as any other media enterprise that is less than worshipful toward him. He yearns to shut them down like Putin does in Russia.

Don’t think for a minute that he wouldn’t do it. He doesn’t believe that the media has the right to express themselves. He abhors the Constitution. Consequently, freedom of the press would become a relic of the past. And any independent reporting would be punishable by the state under his control. Which is another reason that he must never have any control or influence over this nation or the lives of its people.

GOP and Fox News Oppose Public Testimony By Hunter Biden Because Then They Can’t Lie About It

Posted by on November 28, 2023 at 2:36 pm. NO Comments :

The Republican Party’s control of the House of Representatives has been a chaotic nightmare from day one. It took them fifteen votes to select a Speaker. Then, nine months later they dumped him and took another three weeks to select his replacement. They have been a master class in disorganization, ultra-partisanship, and utter neglect of the people’s business.

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

In fact, the GOP has been so determined to avoid any substantive progress that they have engaged only in political stunts, attacks on President Biden and his administration, and petty assaults on other Democrats. They have initiated impeachment inquiries into Biden and several members of his Cabinet, despite having zero evidence of any wrongdoing. They have even admitted that their antics were intended to harm their political foes.

SEE THIS: GOP Speaker Admits the Purpose of the Biden Impeachment Inquiry is to Hurt Biden Politically

Among the pseudo-scandals that Republicans have been pursuing is the harassment of the President’s son, Hunter Biden. However, every attempt to pin some random crime on him has resulted in the GOP humiliating themselves. The hearings they scheduled ended up proving that none of the Republican charges were valid.

Consequently, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, has now subpoenaed Hunter to testify before Congress. Hunter accepted the request with the stipulation that his testimony be done in a public hearing. But Comer rejected that offer and insists that Hunter be deposed in private.

To be clear, Comer previously held public hearings when he thought that they would embarrass Democrats. But since it was the GOP that looked shameful, Comer is now opposed to hearings in public. He has learned that they only expose the GOP’s weakness and dishonesty. But if held in private, he can distort and lie with impunity, at least for a while.

Naturally, Fox News has come to the rescue of Comer and the GOP with a segment on an episode of its “outnumbered” program. And the task of justifying the sudden affinity for private testimony fell to Michele Tafoya, a former sports sideline commentator (video below). Tafoya said that…

“I prefer hearings to be done behind closed doors because I actually think that they get to the heart of the matter, and they get some truth, and they can ask questions without preening for the camera, without all the grandstanding. That is my preference.”

Of course, they can do all of those things in live, public hearing as well. If she is worried about members or witnesses “preening” for the camera, that’s the responsibility of the chairman to keep the hearing in order. Which they’ve shown no ability to do. She went on…

“And for Abbe Lowell, his attorney, to say, ‘Well, you all use that to misinform and to distort the facts.’ Well you know what? You can do that too, Abbe. After he comes out of his closed-door session, you feel free to knock yourself out and you can distort too. I mean it’s a silly argument.”

Notice that Tafoya is actually agreeing that Republicans would “misinform” and “distort the facts.” And she excuses it by offering to allow Democrats to do the same. But Democrats would reject that offer because they have no interest in lying the way Republicans do.

Tafoya also claimed that Hunter “would love nothing more than to sit, have cameras pointed at him.” Where she got that from is a complete mystery. He has been profoundly camera shy since he was thrust into the political circus created by Republicans and Fox News.

Comer’s attempt to hide behind closed doors was shredded by Democratic Rep. Jamir Raskin, who responded saying…

“Let me get this straight,” Raskin said in his statement. “After wailing and moaning for ten months about Hunter Biden and alluding to some vast unproven family conspiracy, after sending Hunter Biden a subpoena to appear and testify, Chairman Comer and the Oversight Republicans now reject his offer to appear before the full Committee and the eyes of the world and to answer any questions that they pose?” […]

“Chairman Comer’s insistence that Hunter Biden’s interview should happen behind closed doors proves it once again. What the Republicans fear most is sunlight and the truth.”

Exactly! Comer’s efforts to hide Hunter’s testimony is the best evidence that he knows there is nothing untoward to reveal. If Comer thought there was something there, he would be the first one to insist on public hearings. Instead, he plans to continue his crusade of deceit and defamation. It’s really all they have.

Fox News is TERRIFIED that Obama is Running the Country and is Responsible for Biden’s Success

Posted by on November 27, 2023 at 2:34 pm. 2 Comments :

It must be getting more difficult for Fox News to manufacture scandals that they can attribute to President Biden and other Democrats and to be appalled by. The ones they are coming up with these days are achieving a degree of inanity that exceeds there wildest previous efforts. It’s hard to know whether we should congratulate them, or pity them.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

On Monday morning’s episode of “Mornings with Maria Bartiromo,” Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer interviewed a Republican congressman, Richard McCormick, in a segment that sought to disparage the President for his having had the gall to advance in age. It’s the only matter on which they are able to criticize him, considering his historic record in job creation, his leadership of a booming economy, the respect he’s garnered for his international diplomacy, and his support for a broadly popular agenda that includes fighting for reproductive choice, expanding voting rights, and taxing the rich. Meanwhile, Fox News is focusing on malarkey like this…

SEE ALSO: Fox News Attacks Kamala Harris Over Fake War on Gas Stoves and Says Democrats ‘Hate Humans’

The interview was a typically substanceless Fox News assault Biden until Bartiromo got around to a favorite subject on the network: Biden’s age and mental acuity. Never mind that Donald Trump is only three years younger and exhibits way more evidence of both physical and cognitive decline than Biden. The mission on Fox is always to defame Democrats. However, on this occasion they missed their target by a mile…

Bartiromo: So who is running the show here? Does he know what’s going on or is he being directed by President Obama?
McCormick: He definitely doesn’t know what’s going on. And whether he’s being directed by Obama or some other staff member is really questionable. But if you look at his cognitive decline for the last fifty years, we’ve been in, literally in real time, watching this guy in public life and the way he’s talked, he’s being very slick, Clintonesque if you like. He no longer has that cognitive ability. He misinterprets questions. He misinterprets emotions. He doesn’t have a strategy. He doesn’t have any sort of education or ability to interpret new data.

Somewhere deep down Bartiromo knows that the nation has progressed in great strides since Biden trounced Trump, whose “leadership” thrust the nation into recession and burdened it with misery. But Fox News is so averse to giving Biden credit for anything that they have to invent a conspiracy wherein the credit goes to someone else. In this case it is former President Barack Obama.

Bartiromo probably believes that this is a brilliant idea that not only deprives Biden of the accolades he deserves, it also casts the spotlight on the former Black President who her viewers already hate. However, she is, in effect, affirming that the Biden presidency is producing positive results that she has to pretend that he had nothing to do with. She is also shifting attention to the most popular former American president.

As for McCormick, his baseless allegations only make him look more foolish. First of all, Biden has never been regarded as a “slick” orator akin to Clinton. In fact, he is a lifelong stutterer and was known as gaffe machine. But McCormick’s bizarre assertions that Biden misinterprets questions, has no strategy or education, and can’t process new data, are plucked from pure fantasy. Biden has presided over the passage of numerous bills that have benefited the people. He has shown remarkable skill at uniting the world against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and more recently, he has done the same on behalf of both Israel and civilians in Gaza.

The only candidate that is showing signs of mental decline is Donald Trump. He has recently spoken about how he defeated Obama in 2016 (that was Hillary Clinton), and has talked about his current race against Obama (that’s Biden). He mixed up the leaders of Hungary and Turkey. He thinks wind turbines cause cancer and kill whales. And he mistook a photo of E. Jean Carroll, who he has been found liable for defamation and rape, as being his ex-wife Marla Maples.

Also on Monday morning, Trump posted a comment on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, wherein he attempted to explain that his recent fumbling of Obama and Biden were intentional. Yeah, right. He’s done it at least seven times and never once suggested it was sarcasm. His entire post bragging about his alleged mental health actually provides more proof of serious illness…

“Whenever I sarcastically insert the name Obama for Biden as an indication that others may actually be having a very big influence in running our Country, Ron DeSanctimonious and his failing campaign apparatus, together with the Democrat’s Radical Left ‘Disinformation Machine,’ go wild saying that ‘Trump doesn’t know the name of our President, (CROOKED!) Joe Biden. He must be cognitively impaired.'”

So Trump expects people to believe that he did it on purpose in order to make people think he’s nuts? Sure, that makes perfect sense. But he wasn’t finished…

“No, I know both names very well, never mix them up, and know that they are destroying our Country.”

“They” are? So Trump really does believe that Obama is still in power? Trump continues…

“Also, and as reported, I just took a cognitive test as part of my Physical Exam, and ACED it. Also ACED (a perfect score!) one taken while in the White House.”

Yep, Trump took a “test” ordinarily given to detect early signs of dementia. It consists of tasks like counting backwards and identifying an elephant. But even though it is a very easy test, Trump has still never provided the actual results. He just pretended that he could recall five words as long as they are all things immediately in front of him at the time (person, woman, man, camera, TV). But he still wasn’t done with this rambling rant…

“Biden should take one so we can determine why he wants Open Borders, No Energy Independence, A Woke Military, High Inflation, No Voter I.D., Men playing In Women’s Sports, Only Electric Cars & Trucks, A Weaponized DOJ/FBI, and so many other CRAZY things!!!”

Needless to say, Biden doesn’t want any of those things. They are all figments of Trump’s overactive and perverse imagination (see video below). And with regard to “weaponizing” government, that’s almost all he talks about doing in his hoped for next term. Which is all the more reason that it must never happen.

Fox News Downplays Trump’s Flagrantly Fascist Remarks and Overtly Authoritarian Aspirations

Posted by on November 26, 2023 at 1:52 pm. NO Comments :

The mission of Fox News has always been to advance the interests of the ultra-rightist elites and the political players who represent them. To that end the network has devoted itself to insuring that government was always in the control of those who would preserve the power of corporations and the wealthy. It’s what Mussolini called “corporatism,” but is more commonly known as “fascism.” And it’s what drove Fox News to embrace Donald Trump and push him into the White House.

Donald Trump, QAnon, Dictator

However, as the trials and tribulations of Trump become ever more threatening to his future political prospects, as well as his freedom, he is descending further down the rabid hole with increasingly ludicrous commentaries and nakedly hostile harangues. His evolution into the sort of totalitarian tyrant that he admires is more evident every time he addresses one of his cult rallies.

Undeterred by the foreboding rhetoric that Trump disgorges, Fox News continues to support him and to sugarcoat his most heinous tendencies. For example, Howard Kurtz, host of Fox’s MediaBuzz, interviewed Cassie Smedile, a former RNC communications rep, and had the following exchange…

Kurtz: What do you make of these whole series of pieces in the New York Times, the Washington Post, not to mention what the other networks are doing, that all basically say Trump is an authoritarian or a fascist and his second term would destroy democracy?
Cassie Smedile: Second verse same as the first. I’m old enough to remember when these were all the words they were using in 2015, 2016. I’m also old enough to remember Donald Trump gets elected and what are they saying? Oh, the media propelled him. The media gave him the platform. They took him live. They gave him interviews and it’s their fault for this to happen in our country.

The first notable point of Smedile’s response is that she didn’t actually respond at all. Rather than comment on reporting about Trump’s fascistic leanings, she merely complained that she had heard it all before. But no matter how old she is, she could not possibly remember anything of the sort. During his 2016 campaign for president the mainstream media rarely if ever characterized Trump as the wannabe dictator that he was and is. And the second point she made actually affirms that the media was much more engaged in coddling Trump and boosting his candidacy. They did propel him and take his speeches live in ways they never did for any other candidate.

Neither Kurtz nor Smedile bothered to talk about how Trump is currently promising to reign as an unbridled tyrant. Kurtz did briefly mention a couple articles, but neglected to present what they wrote about. Consequently, there wasn’t a single word about what Trump has actually been saying on the stump this year. So to remedy that, here’s a few choice selections that reveal Trump’s authoritarian intentions…

Trump’s Uber-MAGA 2024 Campaign Message Reeks of the 3rd Reich Rhetoric of the ‘Final Battle’
“2024 is our final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our Country, we will rout the Fake News Media, we will evict Joe Biden from the White House, and we will FINISH THE JOB ONCE AND FOR ALL!”

Trump Spokesman Uses Vile Nazi Rhetoric in His Denial that Trump Used Vile Nazi Rhetoric
“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie, and steal, and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and to destroy the American Dream.”

[And…]

“Deranged Jack Smith, Andrew Weissmann, Lisa Monaco, the ‘team of losers and misfits’ from CREW, and all the rest of the Radical Left Zealots and Thugs who have been working illegally for years to ‘take me down,’ will end up, because of their suffering from a horrible disease, TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS!), in a Mental Institution by the time my next term as President is successfully completed.”

Wannabe Dictator Trump Declares His Intention to Obstruct Justice and Undermine the Constitution
“Everything is a lie. The whole thing is a lie. The whole election was a lie. As president I will be creating a ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ to shed sunlight on every dark and rotten corner of Washington, D.C., starting with Biden.”

[And…]

“We will together restore law and order in our country. We will completely overhaul the DOJ to investigate every Marxist prosecutor in America for their illegal racist-in-the-reverse enforcement of the law.”

Wannabe Dictator Trump Promises to Prosecute the ‘Country Threatening Treason’ of the Media
“They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason.’”

[And…]

“I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events. Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE? They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”

That would ordinarily be enough to sink the campaign of any American politician. But Trump isn’t a politician. He’s a cult leader. And his glassy-eyed disciples couldn’t care less if he is also a fascist. In fact, they prefer it. They want to be led by a brutal despot who will eliminate all the people and things they’ve been told to hate. And Trump would be happy to accommodate them if given the opportunity. Which, for the sake of the future of our nation – and world – the American people need to make sure he never has.

Fox News Attacks Kamala Harris Over Fake War on Gas Stoves and Says Democrats ‘Hate Humans’

Posted by on November 25, 2023 at 12:55 pm. 1 Comments :

From its inception, Fox News has had a reputation as a brazenly dishonest purveyor of right-wing propaganda and partisan lies intended to advance conservative Republican agendas and politicians. It doesn’t employ credible reporters, authenticate its stories, and has never been regarded as a legitimate journalistic enterprise.

Fox News, Kamala Harris

Just this week Fox News reported that a car that ran through a U.S./Canada border checkpoint was a terrorist attack that proved that President Biden’s border policies were weak and responsible for this assault on the homeland. Of course, none of that was true. But even after it was revealed that there was no terrorism connection to the event, Fox News still wouldn’t retract or apologize for their panic-inducing, disinformation. They just diverted back to their routine bashing of Biden on unrelated matters.

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

In keeping with their mission to deliberately defame Biden and other Democrats, Fox News aired a segment on Friday evening that may be the most preposterous piece of bullpucky to hit the airwaves so far this year. Which given Fox’s proficiency with preposterousness is really saying something. The segment featured Lisa Boothe, sitting in for Laura Ingraham, interviewing Fox contributor Charlie Hurt about one of the nation’s most pressing, albeit utterly imaginary, problems: Vice-President Kamala Harris’ Thanksgiving tweet wherein she was seen using an “evil” gas stove that the cretins at Fox News think Biden is trying to ban.

Fox News has spent untold hours on this topic, which has been picked up by republicans with nothing better to do than whine about the “War on Gas Stoves,” or the “War on Cars,” or the “War on Hamburgers,” or the annual “War on Christmas.” Among the GOP warriors is Ted Cruz, who had a typically puerile response to Harris…

Still, Cruz’s response doesn’t begin to compete with the flaming idiocy of Hurt. His rabid outburst provides an explanation for how he must have gotten his name. He is literally painful to listen to…

Hurt: It’s so funny that people, they saw that, her tweet, they saw her stove. They rightly heckled and mocked her and made fun of her and ridiculed her, and then all of the Democrats got freaked out and jumped online and said, ‘Oh no, wait a minute, they don’t want to take away the gas stoves. That’s misinformation.’ No, they do want to take away the gas stoves and, in fact, they are taking away the gas stoves in any of the places where they control things.
Boothe: Why do they want to ban gas stoves?
Hurt: I think because they hate us, they hate humans, they hate joyfulness, they hate pies, they hate good food. They hate. They want us all to be miserable. They want us to suffer because when we’re not suffering, if we’re not suffering, we are, you know, we’re making things. We’re creating things. We’re joyful. We’re doing wonderful things. Everybody is happy. And that drives them crazy because they’re all miserable. They want all of America to be as miserable and unhappy and unloved as they are, and we are just not going to go along with it.

Hurt was outraged by Harris’ holiday greeting. He was beside himself with redundant glee saying that Harris was “heckled and mocked…and made fun of…and ridiculed.” Really? All of those? Then he invents his own characterization of Democrats as being “freaked out” by the glaring misrepresentation of Harris’ Thanksgiving tweet. He should see Trump’s Thanksgiving message to his cult…

HOLY SHIH TZU: Trump’s Heartwarming Thanksgiving Message Drips with Dread and Hate for His Legions of Enemies

However, if anyone was freaked out, it was Hurt. His overwrought reaction to this non-event is epically asinine. To suggest that Democrats hate “humans,” “joyfulness,” “pies,” and “good food,” is beyond derangement. And to elaborate by accusing all Democrats of being “miserable” and wanting the American people to “suffer” turns the lunatic dial up way past eleven. Furthermore, Hurt really needs to be more specific as to what “joyful,” “wonderful” things he and is ilk are creating when they’re happy. Is it screeds like the one he just disgorged?

For the record, the Biden administration is not – and never has been – trying to ban gas stoves, or any of the other items or holidays that Fox News claims there is a war on. In fact, Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked about this by Fox News earlier this year. She responded with a quote by the Chair of the Consumer Product Safety Commission saying that…

“Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards…But to be clear, I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so.”

For emphasis, Jean-Pierre added that “the President does not support banning gas stoves.” But somehow, the administration’s official reply to the question – posed by a Fox News correspondent – never got back to Fox News and the dimwits disseminating this nonsense. Or more likely, it did get back to them, but they just don’t care.

At fox News it would be an unforgivable betrayal of their commitment to distorting the “news” if they were to diverge from the far-right slant to which they have pledged their allegiance. And their contracts likely stipulate that they must always be waging a war on something, and more often than not, it’s reality.

Trump Aide Jason Miller Accused of Sexual Assault – Is That a Trump Employment Prerequisite?

Posted by on November 24, 2023 at 1:56 pm. 3 Comments :

The number of Donald Trump associates implicated in illegal and/or immoral conduct just went up again. He already held the record for such unsavory connections in both his political and private lives, but he is apparently determined to set the bar so high that no one will ever challenge his dominance in depravity.

Donald Trump, Pervert

Jason Miller, who is currently a senior advisor to Trump, has been accused of a variety of sexually related offences against another Trump aide, A.J. Delgado. He’s just the latest member of Trump’s inner circle to be charged with such grotesque misbehavior. Perhaps he can use as his defense that he was just following the example of his boss, who was recently affirmed to have committed rape against writer E. Jean Carroll.

SEE THIS: Ted Lieu Reads Federal Judge’s Confirmation that Trump is a Rapist Into Congressional Record

Delgado has filed a lawsuit against Miller, who has a prior history of alleged abuse and failure to take responsibility for his turpitude. According to Raw Story…

“A lawsuit filed against longtime Trump aide Jason Miller accuses him engaging in ‘a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking.’ [The lawsuit] was filed on behalf of A.J. Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide with whom Miller had an affair and who has since long accused Miller of stiffing her on child support payments.”

However, Miller is just the tip of the iceberg. The mob of miscreants that the Trump clan is composed of appears to be closely aligned with his set of morals, or lack thereof. In fact, the frequency of offenders on Trump’s team makes it appears as if committing sexual crimes is actually prerequisite to work for Trump, whose own vile exploits include dozens of allegations of assault and harassment. What follows is a partial, but noxious, enumeration of just a few of the perverts on Trump’s payroll.

Corey Lewandowski: “Former senior Donald Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski has cut a deal with Las Vegas prosecutors after he was charged with misdemeanor battery, stemming from allegations of unwanted sexual advances toward a woman during a charity dinner in Sept. 2021.”

Rudy Giuliani: “Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide who became a key witness in congressional Jan. 6 hearings, alleges that former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, groped her on the day of the assault on the Capitol.”

Rob Porter “Rob Porter, a top White House aide with regular access to President Donald Trump abruptly resigned on Wednesday amid abuse allegations from two ex-wives.”

Boris Epshteyn “Boris Epshteyn, a longtime aide to former President Donald Trump, was arrested in 2021 after he was accused of repeatedly groping two women in an Arizona nightclub, according to police records.”

Andrew Puzder Andrew Puzder, “a former corporate executive alleging sex discrimination and sexual harassment by Donald Trump’s labor secretary nominee, Andrew Puzder”

Adam Hageman Adam Hageman, “A Trump Commerce Department official has been jailed for five-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to possession of child sexual abuse images.”

Kimberly Guilfoyle “Kimberly Guilfoyle was fired from Fox News because of ‘inappropriate behavior,’ adding weight to previous reports that she was ousted over sexual harassment allegations.”

That’s quite a rogues gallery. And while each of them have earned their own place in the Trump Hall of Shame, they all fall short of his lofty record of decadence and corruption. Trump is alleged to have harassed and/or assaulted at least 26 women. He has been found liable for fraud related to his real estate business, his charitable foundation, and his phony university. And he is now facing four indictments containing 91 felony charges ranging from obstruction of justice, to falsifying financial records, to stealing and hoarding classified documents, to interfering with an election, and to staging a violent coup.

Yet somehow he remains not just a viable candidate for the Republican nomination for president, but the runaway leader. His cult followers – while few in number but loud in voice – continue to worship him and pledge their votes. Which is curious considering that he doesn’t believe that someone like himself should even be allowed to run…

Trump’s Heartwarming Thanksgiving Message Drips with Dread and Hate for His Legions of Enemies

Posted by on November 23, 2023 at 11:57 am. 3 Comments :

The Thanksgiving holiday is a unique occasion for American families to gather and to show their appreciation for the blessings in their lives. Unlike holidays that memorialize loss or bygone battles, it is a celebration of people and things for which we have gratitude and offers an opportunity to express it.

Donald Trump Chicken

These feelings of warmth and harmony, however, are not shared by Donald Trump, the twice-impeached, former reality TV game show host, pathologically lying, wannabe dictator, who has been adjudicated as a rapist and fraudster, and has 91 felony charges pending.

Trump chose Thanksgiving to deliver the sort of virulent greeting that is the hallmark of his notoriously hostile nature. At 2:00 AM on Thanksgiving morning Trump posted the following acrimonious comment on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social…

“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a ‘Psycho,’ Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a ‘tiny’ Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tell him what to do; & Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Brings a tear to the eye doesn’t it? Except they are the sort of tears generated by shoving an ice pick in your ear. For some contrast, here is President Biden’s Thanksgiving Day message…

Notice that Trump is wholly consumed by his legal troubles. Every person he attacked is associated with his current case of financial fraud in New York. And he just rattles off a bunch of infantile insults aimed at “Peekabo” James, and “Psycho” Judge Engoron, and “Crooked” Joe Biden, and in a catch-all rant, “the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS.” The attack on the court’s intern as a “Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator” is particularly pathetic and completely made up.

These are the mad ravings of a seriously deranged individual. They exhibit his manic fear and paralyzing sense of victimhood. He is providing the best reasons imaginable to prohibit him from ever being considered for any position of power. And yet, there are still sickly members of his cult who think that he’s a strong leader.

It’s just incomprehensible how that can be. Particularly on Thanksgiving Day, this is how he communicates to his glassy-eyed disciples. He really needs to be locked up in a prison psyche ward for the safety of himself and the nation – and the world. That would give us all something to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Crybaby Trump Whines About Media Accurately Reporting Low Attendance at His Cult Rallies

Posted by on November 22, 2023 at 12:33 pm. NO Comments :

For as long as Donald Trump has been in public life he has been obsessed with exalting himself as the smartest, handsomest, bestest at everything that any human being ever attempted. It’s the hallmark of a malignant narcissist, which, ironically, is something that he actually has excelled at. He glorifies himself – as he would say – at levels never seen before.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

On Wednesday morning Trump took to his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social, to send more love letters to himself. He posted fifty-one (51!) vainglorious comments in two hours. Every one of which extolled the magnificence that he sees in his funhouse mirror. He harbors a messianic mindset in which he is the sole savior of all mankind.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Messiah Trump Claims that Only He Can ‘End the Bloodshed and Bring Peace to the World’

Among the comments Trump posted was one wherein he employed another skill for which he is proud: Whining! He has literally described himself as “the most fabulous whiner [because] I keep whining and whining until I win.” On this occasion his lament had to do with not being recognized as the most beloved figure in American politics. He began by complaining that…

“Many times when I’m making a Speech, which are always sold out …”

Let’s interrupt Trump here for a moment to note that none of his speeches are ever “sold out.” That’s because they cost nothing to attend. It’s much easier to get a large turnout for a free event. Then Trump continued, saying that…

“Fake News will watch people come down from the rafters (bad seats) onto the floor—nearer the stage…”

Sorry, but another interruption is necessary to note that Trump is actually conceding that his event was not sold out. If it were there would not have been any unoccupied spaces in the front for the backbenchers to move up to. He continues…

“As soon as this happens, the Lamestream Media starts taking pictures of these once fully occupied areas and seats, and then come out with a story…’Trump didn’t have a Sellout.'”

According to Trump the “bad seats” that were abandoned were quickly filled by fresh Deplorables who were waiting outside to get in. However, the pictures of Trump’s rallies with many empty seats were taken well into his speech. The only outsiders still hanging around were protesters and press.

This is typical gaslighting by Trump. He has been doing it since he blatantly lied about his poorly attended inaugural in January of 2017, which he said “was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration.” It wasn’t even close.

Undeterred by reality, Trump concluded his comment by stating that “This is a Movement like none other, and the Failing Media should get on board now.” Well, by definition it’s only the “Failing Media” that would want to “get on board.” but more to the point, Trump appears to believe that it is the media’s role to join the cult movements of wannabe dictators. He’s going to be crushed when he finds that the only followers will be his flunkies at Fox News, Newsmax, and the rest of the rightist propaganda press. And if we’re lucky, they’ll follow him right into prison.

LOLOL: Mike Lindell is Ready to Lead the Republican National Committee if Asked By Trump

Posted by on November 21, 2023 at 12:55 pm. NO Comments :

The 2024 presidential election will be profoundly consequential for the nation. It will be a choice between Joe Biden, a senior statesman who has proven that he works for the people and respects the Constitution, and Donald Trump, a 78 year old megalomaniac who is facing 91 felony charges, assaulted women, incited a violent insurrection, stole and disseminated classified documents, and who undermined democracy and aspires to reign as a tyrant.

Donald Trump, Mike Lindell, MyPillow

That ought to be an easy choice. But given the media’s fixation on ratings-driven, horserace politics, and their attachment to covering trivialities such as Biden’s age, rather than Trump’s openly fascist aspirations, the decision appears to be closer than any sense of rationality – or sanity – can explain.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Uber-MAGA 2024 Campaign Message Reeks of the 3rd Reich Rhetoric of the ‘Final Battle’

With Election Day still about a year away, Trump has already succeeded in turning the campaign season into a nightmarish version of a circus sideshow. When he isn’t sitting and scowling in a courtroom, he’s bellowing bombastically at one of his cult rallies. And with every unhinged outburst, Trump affirms his unfitness for office.

However, the freak show produced by Trump and his obedient flunkies in the Republican Party has only just begun. And one of the signs that the worst is yet to come is Trump’s recent souring on Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Like everything else in Trump’s mind, it is “rigged” against him. He is upset that the party is continuing to hold primary debates – all of which he has chickened out of – when he believes that they should just crown him the “King of the GOP,” despite the fact that not a single vote has yet been cast.

In this swirling political chaos, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon chatted with the MyPillow huckster, Mike Lindell, and posed what he thought was a serious question…

Bannon: Would you volunteer to take over the RNC if the president so asked you?
Lindell: A hundred percent I would. Then I would have all the tools I need to secure these elections immediately. We’ve already got everything in place. We just need resources and their blessing behind us. Absolutely.”

REALLY? Lindell has been insisting for years that he has irrefutable proof that the 2020 election was rife with fraud. He has promised to reveal his proof several times, but for some reason has never done so. And this election-denying, conspiracy crackpot thinks that he would be a reasonable chairperson of the Republican Party? That is a patently absurd notion.

Although, in comparison to the current state of the GOP, it’s not as absurd as it might seem. The RNC is already a full-on farce. Last year they announced that they had withdrawn from the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), which has organized the general election debates since 1987. They accused it of being biased and prohibited any GOP candidates from participating in CPD debates.

SEE ALSO: RNC Doubles Down on Cowardice, Cancels Debates to Shield Snowflake Trump From More Humiliation

There are good reasons for Trump to decline these debates. He will not participate in any event that he doesn’t control or isn’t run by a certified Trump-fluffer. He knows that he would just humiliate himself were he to do so. His ravings are becoming more and more bizarre and unintelligible.

In just the past few weeks Trump has suggested that top American generals should be executed. He proposed mass deportations of migrants and refugees. He promises to build concentration camps for his political opponents. He accuses the media of treason. He even called for the termination of the Constitution. And then there are these cringeworthy clues of cognitive collapse…

  • Trump thinks that he ran against Obama in 2020.
  • Trump said that North Korea has 1.4 billion people. That’s China.
  • Trump praised Viktor Orbán as the leader of Turkey. He’s the leader of Hungary.
  • Trump wrongly said that Hungary shares a border with Russia.
  • Trump warned that Biden would lead the country into World War II.
  • Trump boasted that he was the first person to notice that U.S. spells “us.”
  • Trump repeatedly stated that purchasing bread requires a photo ID

With evidence of psychological disfunction like that, no rational person would vote for Trump. Although he did get the approval of his doctor, an osteopath who isn’t qualified to perform physical examinations. Trump released a suspiciously vague note from his “doctor” that declares that he is in “excellent” health. Most suspicious are the claims that he has “reduced his weight,” has an “improved diet,” and engages in “daily physical activity.” Yeah, right. Recall that Trump’s last doctor’s note was written by Trump himself.

Considering all of the above, how could it hurt to have Lindell chair the RNC? Can we really say that McDaniel is any better? At least it would be entertaining, if you’re into horror stories.
