Trump Lies that Democrats ‘Draw Flies’ at Their Rallies, and are Denying Him Protection at His

The downward spiral of Donald Trump and his floundering campaign continues to gather steam in its descent. The closer he gets to defeat, the more preposterous his outbursts become. It’s a display of paranoid desperation playing out in real time in a painfully public manner.

Trump Lies

Ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, Trump has struggled to find a way to revamp his campaign strategy from one that focused on an elderly, white, statesman, to one that effectively challenges a younger, Black, woman, with unparalleled experience and ability.

Trump appears to have settled on the old kindergarten schoolboy gambit of insulting his opponent as “stupid.” Just wait a week or two until he calls her a “poopyhead.” It’s also notable that Trump is using the same rhetoric to malign all Americans who support Harris…

SEE THIS: ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

On Monday morning Trump took a pathetic potshot at Harris that was more illustrative of his own sagging psychoses. It combined his tedious tendencies to whine with his acutely bizarre perversions of reality, claiming that…

“The Democrats are interfering with my Campaign by not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security. They’re using them for themselves, even though they don’t need them – they draw ‘flies.’ […] Hopefully the people of Wisconsin, and other areas where thousands are turned away, will realize that this is just another Democrat ploy!”

There is, of course, no truth to his assertion that Democrats have withheld Secret Service protection from him. But Trump never lets facts get in the way of his blatant propaganda. And he is once again misdirecting his own anxieties toward others. It is Trump who has the problem with drawing flies, both at his shrinking cult rallies, and surrounding himself personally, which he also believes is a plot against him…

Trump’s comment also touches on another complaint he’s had about the accurate reporting of his poorly attended rallies. In an earlier post, Trump invented a massive turnout of MAGA disciples that existed only in his twisted imagination. He said that…

“Kamala and Sleepy Joe are going out of their way to make it difficult for me to Campaign. We had one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen on Saturday, in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin…and we ended up having to use a 750 seat theater, having to send away more than 50,000 people. They were unable to give us Secret Service protection commensurate with the crowd.”

That’s right! Trump thinks that people will believe that 50,000 of his supporters actually showed up at a venue that holds 750, and were turned away. This rally was in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, a city with a population of 5,500, in a county of 16,100. You have to wonder where they parked. You also have to wonder if Trump deliberately chose this city, whose name translates to “Prairie of the Dog,” to entice hungry Haitian migrants to attend.

Finally, Trump posted another comment that announced his intention to travel to Valdosta, Georgia, so that he can get in the way of emergency operations to rescue and care for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Trump obviously feels that it’s more important for him to show up and throw paper towels and chicken fingers at the troubled residents of the region.

However, even in that pursuit, Trump had to resort to spouting ludicrous political allegations intended to incite further division at the expense of those who are suffering. He said that…

“We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia…but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!”

For the record, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp spoke with President Biden and expressed his appreciation for everything the federal government is doing to help. but telling provably false lies is how Trump thinks he will resuscitate his moribund campaign. He clearly doesn’t have any plans – or even concepts of plans – that might appeal to voters. So his entire strategy is to hurl childish insults and tell ridiculous lies.

While Trump has a faithful throng of cult devotees who adore this malarkey, the majority of the American people are repulsed by it – and by him. and if enough of then turn out on or before November 5th, Kamala Harris will hand Loser Trump another in a long line of defeats.

OUCH! Trump’s Flagrant Lies About 14,000 ‘Criminal’ Migrants Gets a Devastating Fact-Check

Posted by on September 29, 2024 at 1:34 pm. 3 Comments :

There are a lot of important issues facing the nation today. They range from the economy to healthcare to the climate crisis to foreign wars. But without question the primary issue that Donald Trump has latched onto for his horror show of a campaign to reoccupy the White House is immigration.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

To be sure, immigration is an important issue. And there have been some earnest attempts to deal with it responsibly. For instance, there was a bipartisan bill that passed in the Senate that would have addressed the matter in a comprehensive way. Unfortunately, it was Trump who sabotaged the bill by coercing his MAGA confederates in the House of Representatives to kill it because it might help his Democratic challenger. And that wasn’t even the worst of his demented views on immigration…

SEE THIS: From Cat Ladies to Cat Eaters: The Trump Cult is Sick, Twisted, and Totally Removed From Reality

For the past week Trump has been obsessed with a report that he said reveals shocking statistics about immigration and crime. He has posted numerous comments on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, and referenced the statistics at his recent cult rallies. There’s just one problem: He is grossly misrepresenting the data to advance his racist views on immigrants who he regards as mostly murderers, rapists, and other manner of ne’er-do-well. Let’s examine a sample of Trump’s remarks…

“14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs who have committed MURDER have been allowed to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, and roam free to KILL AGAIN…Kamala is a FOOL to have let this happen to our beautiful USA. It is totally unjustifiable, there can be nothing worse! She should be IMPEACHED for what she as done to our Country!”

We can set aside Trump’s infantile insults of Harris and his impotent demands that she be impeached. Instead, let’s focus on his ludicrous reference to the “14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs” that he says are “roaming free” to kill. That number was drawn from a report issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Trump is flatly asserting that all of these criminal migrants entered the U.S. during the Biden-Harris administration and that they – and specifically Kamala Harris – are responsible for it.

However, Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.

What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).” And whatever the actual number of violent criminals is, it would be fewer if the Senate immigration bill that Trump killed were to pass. The bill explicitly provided funding to process, and expedite deportation if necessary, migrants who committed crimes.

It goes without saying that no amount of migrant criminals released into the U.S. population is acceptable. But being realistic, there are criminals in every subset of human groups. Even native-born Americans. And as it turns out, “Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find.”

The bottom line is that a tiny fraction of a percent of undocumented immigrants have been convicted of any crime. The vast majority are harvesting our food, building our homes, and caring for our elderly. So contrary to Trump’s fear mongering that “If Kamala is reelected, your town, and every town just like it…across our country…will be transformed into a third-world hellhole,” bloodthirsty and/or jaywalking migrants are not taking over our country.

The only criminal that America really needs to be worried about right now is Donald Trump. He’s the native-born miscreant with 34 felony convictions, civil liabilities for sexual assault and financial fraud, and 50+ more felonies pending for crimes ranging from election interference to inciting a deadly insurrection. Trump is by far the greatest risk to the safety and welfare of the American people.

Herr Trump Threatens to Prosecute Google for Showing Stories that Hurt His Tender Feelings

Posted by on September 28, 2024 at 1:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Nothing sets an aspiring authoritarian’s heart aflutter more than the prospect of silencing the voices of malcontents who dare to criticize them. It’s the reason that tyrants take such pleasure in seeing their foes fall out of windows and in muzzling the free press.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

America’s most prominent wannabe dictator, Donald Trump, is no exception to this. For years he has embraced the Stalinist slogan lambasting the media as “the enemy of the people.” And he hasn’t been shy about hurling vicious insults at journalists and news organizations. Even Fox News isn’t safe from Trump’s wrath…

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Unleashes a Flaming Freak Out Vilifying Fox News for Not Censoring his Foes

Trump’s relentless assault on media includes digital media as well. On Friday he lashed out on his own floundering social media scam, Truth Social, to unburden himself of the overheated hostility that he harbors for the press. This time his rage was directed at Google, who he alleges is steeped in bias against him. Trump ranted that…

“It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Comrade Kamala Harris. This is an ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, and hopefully the Justice Department will criminally prosecute them for this blatant Interference of Elections. If not, and subject to the Laws of our Country, I will request their prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the Election, and become President of the United States!”

There is so much wrong with that outburst that it requires a little further exploration. To begin with, Trump says that some undefined illegality “has been determined” in Google’s practices. The obvious question is: determined by whom? Sean Hannity? Rudy Giuliani? Melania’s hairdresser? The ghost of Rush Limbaugh? Or some other disembodied voices in his head?

Secondly, what law does Trump imagine has been violated? Was it Section 666 of the U.S Penal Code prohibiting felonious meanness aimed at hypersensitive narcissists?

Third, Trump’s allegation that Google is “only revealing and displaying bad stories” about him is unsupported by any factual data. It isn’t even supported by any fabricated data. It’s just Trump whining about it to his cult followers on his own website that only reveals and displays slobbering adorations of him. Most of which are “made up for this purpose.”

Meanwhile, Trump is outraged by what he claims are good stories about Kamala Harris. So in effect, he’s complaining that Harris is doing too many things that generate positive press. What a devious plot by her. However, if Trump really wants to see fewer bad stories about himself, he might want to consider doing fewer bad things. For starters, he could cut back on his lying, and racism, and infantile insults, and intentional divisiveness, and sucking up to foreign dictators, and impugning America as a failed, third world country.

Finally, Trump expresses his hope that “the Justice Department will criminally prosecute” Google. And he issues a direct threat that, if elected, he will “request their prosecution, at the maximum levels.” Which would violate the ethical principles that separate the presidency from the Justice Department. And still Trump doesn’t say on what grounds he would prosecute. Not that it matters to him.

The only thing that Trump is interested in is securing unwaveringly worshipful celebrations of his messianic perfection. And if the media doesn’t comply, then he will see to it that they are harshly punished. And somehow that manifestation of totalitarian oppression remains appealing to some glassy-eyed segment of the American public, and pretty much all of the MAGA-tized Republican Party.

Which makes it all the more imperative that Democrats prevail at the polls in November at every level, from the presidency to the sanitation department. Which, ironically, would be an appropriate career path for Trump to traverse.

Trump Lies that Zelenskyy Told Him He Did Nothing Wrong, Exhuming the Lie that Got Him Impeached

Posted by on September 27, 2024 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

Five years ago Donald Trump was impeached for threatening Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an attempt to bully him into digging up – or making up – dirt on President Biden. Trump’s extortion attempt was unsuccessful as Zelenskyy steadfastly refused to buckle under to Trump’s illegal and unethical demands.

Trump Penthouse Phone

Under ordinary circumstances, most former presidents, and current candidates, might want to avoid reminding voters of that humiliating chapter in their amoral career. But Trump is hardly ordinary. He’s a malignant narcissist who is consumed with his own image and welfare to the detriment of everything and everyone else, including himself.

SEE THIS: ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

On Friday Trump met with Zelenskyy as part of his campaign to pretend that he’s still the president, or at least in some measure relevant. The meeting was just another embarrassing episode for Trump. Zelenskyy appeared to be as uncomfortable as a victim in a hostage video. But he endured the indignity of standing next to Trump on behalf of his country in order to ensure the favor of congressional Republicans who still support Ukraine.

For his part, Trump was Trump. And in his barely comprehensible comments he managed to diverge from the matter at hand, to his still seething outrage at having been impeached for trying to strongarm Zelenskyy into helping him to smear Biden in the midst of a campaign. Ignoring the actual reasons for Zelenskyy’s visit, Trump turned the discussion to his own dated anxieties, saying that…

“When they did the impeachment hoax, a Democrat hoax, which we won, but one of the reasons we won it so easily is when the president was asked – it was over a phone call with the president, and he said – he could have grandstanded and played cute, but he didn’t. He said President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. He said it loud and clear. And the impeachment hoax died there.”

As usual, there’s quite a bit of clean up to perform on that rant. First of all, the impeachment was not a hoax. It actually happened. And Trump cannot claim to have won when a majority of the House voted against him. The impeachment surely didn’t die there. In fact, there was a second impeachment to follow, related to Trump’s incitation of the insurrection on January 6, 2021.

More to the point, Trump’s assertion that Zelenskyy said that Trump “did absolutely nothing wrong” is an outright lie. To the contrary, what Zelenskyy said about what Trump calls the “perfect” phone call was pretty much the opposite, albeit in a diplomatic way. According to NBC News Zelenskyy said…

“’Look, I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo,’ Zelenskiy told Time and a handful of European publications in an interview published Monday. ‘That’s not my thing. … I don’t want us to look like beggars. But you have to understand. We’re at war. If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying.’”

Zelenskyy had to be careful about how he expressed himself. He obviously didn’t want to upset Trump. But he was clear that he wanted to avoid looking weak and doing anything that might result in the aid being withheld.

Those are concerns that Zelenskyy also had on his mind during his meeting with Trump Friday. And it must have taken a considerable amount of self control to remain silent when Trump bragged about his chumminess with the brutal aggressor who was slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, saying that he has “a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin.”

It is interesting to compare what Kamala Harris said during her meeting with Zelenskyy to what Trump said. She was unequivocally supportive of our democratic ally, and rejects Trump’s “proposals of surrender.” Trump, meanwhile was all-in with making a “deal” with Putin that would result in Ukraine giving up territory and a weakening of NATO.

Trump has once again proven that he is an insensitive, egomaniacal cretin who is unfit to hold any office of power. And for this, and so many other reasons, the American people must emphatically renounce him on November 5th.

ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

Posted by on September 26, 2024 at 9:46 am. 1 Comments :

From the inception of his political career when he descended a golden escalator and immediately maligned immigrants, Donald Trump has exacerbated the worst tendencies of partisanship, creating a greater division between Americans than has been seen in modern times.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Trump’s determination to exploit and expand ideological differences has exceeded mere politics. He is nurturing the inbred bigotry and hatred of his willing cult disciples in a manner that can and has led to violence. One notable example of this is the flagrantly false assertions that Trump has promoted about legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.

SEE THIS: From Cat Ladies to Cat Eaters: The Trump Cult is Sick, Twisted, and Totally Removed From Reality

Trump, however, has divisive ambitions that far exceed mere prejudice based on race, religion, gender, or country of origin. He appears to be hell-bent on building walls between every American who supports him and every other American. And making Mexico pay for it.

In Trump’s twisted mind, there can be no tolerance for anyone failing submit to his insistence on unflinching adoration. and he has made this clear explicitly in many of his speeches to his cult followers. So far, the acutely deranged Trump has decreed that Jews, Catholics, oil companies, and seniors who support Kamala Harris “should have their heads examined.” According to Trump…

  • “If any senior doesn’t vote for Trump, we’re going to have to send you to a psychiatrist to have your head examined.”
  • “If you’re Jewish and you vote for Biden or the Democrats or Kamala or whoever’s gonna run…you should have your head examined.”
  • “Any Catholic that votes for Comrade Kamala Harris should have their head examined.”
  • “If anybody here believes that she will let your industry continue, like fracking, you should immediately go to a psychiatrist and have your head examined.”

There is really only one response to such overtly hateful, degrading, and ignorant rhetoric. Anyone engaging in it should have their head examined. And if you aren’t in one of the groups that Trump has identified, don’t worry. You will be soon. Take heed of the warning by Martin Niemöller in his iconic poem, “First They came…” Because by the time Trump and his toadies get to your place on his list, all you will be able to say is that “there was no one left to speak for me.”

If you don’t believe that he will ever turn on you, just ask his former Vice-President, Mike Pence, or his former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, or his former Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, or his former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, or his former Director of Communications, Alyssa Farah Griffin, or his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, or…

This list could on and on. Let’s just add one more name to it. Does JD Vance need to have his head examined?

Stephen Colbert Triggers Another Totally Tacky Trump Tantrum on Truthless Anti-Social

Posted by on September 25, 2024 at 1:28 pm. 2 Comments :

With a mere six weeks until Election Day, Vice-President Kamala Harris is crisscrossing the country and engaging voters on critical subjects, such as the economy, immigration, and healthcare. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is laser focused on the issues that he believes matter most to the American people, such as who is eating the cats, creepy protectorship of depressed women, and the “stolen” election of 2020.

Click here to Tweet this article

In this political environment it is often healthy to take a breather for some comic relief. Which is made all the more possible by the vast amounts of material provided by Trump and his MAGA clown show. Unfortunately for Trump, he doesn’t have the ability to process humor the way other human beings do. In fact, he finds it offensive.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump: I Hate it When People Laugh at Me, and When Kamala Harris Laughs at All

So it will surprise no one to learn that Trump spent a sleepless Tuesday night composing a screed lambasting Stephen Colbert who appeared on PBS NewsHour to promote his new cookbook with his wife, Evie, “Does This Taste Funny?“ During the nine minute interview, Colbert mentioned Trump once in passing when the interviewer specifically asked him about Trump…

Amna Nawaz: Do you have red lines, like people you won’t talk to. Like, would you have former President Trump on the show?
Colbert: I have had him before, and he was kind of boring. So, no. […] I don’t like to have people on the show who I don’t think are going to be honest agents of their own ideas.

That was it. But that was enough to set Trump off on an extended rant that he posted on his floundering Truth Social scam. It consisted entirely of his predictable and tiresome insults and pitifully ignorant observations. He raged that…

“I briefly watched an interview of Stephen Colbert on highly government subsidized PBS, and found it fascinating for only one reason — Why would they be wasting time and the public’s money on this complete and total loser? He is not funny, which he gets paid far too much to be, he is not wise, he is VERY BORING.”

In that opening, Trump touched on several subjects that he ought to be an expert on: what is a “waste of money,” things that are “not funny,” and how to be “VERY BORING.” But, as usual, he has no self awareness whatsoever as he projects his own personality defects onto Colbert. Then he continued saying that…

“And his show is dying from a complete lack of viewers —Gutfeld, on cable, is killing him! CBS should terminate his contract and pick almost anyone, right off the street, who would do better, and for FAR LESS MONEY.”

Actually, Colbert’s show can hardly be described as “dying.” In fact, it is the top rated late night talk show. And it is not being killed by Greg Gutfeld, whose show is not a late night program, except on the east coast. Everywhere else in the country he is on in prime time. If Trump knew anything about how ratings work, he would know that you can’t compare programs in different time periods. HUT levels (Homes Using Television) are much higher prime time. But Trump still wasn’t through…

“Or I could recommend someone, much more talented, and smarter, who would do it for FREE! The good news for Stephen is that the two DOPES on NBC & ABC are not much better than him!”

Yeah, right. Trump surely knows people who would host a network television program for free. And it would be someone with the talent and skill to do it successfully. Does anyone believe that? He couldn’t even do it himself. His “Apprentice” languished near the bottom of the ratings in its final years.

As for Colbert’s competition (who are all close friends), Trump’s reviews are less than worthless. It’s a good thing he didn’t see Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue Tuesday night. It featured a blistering smackdown of Trump’s still smoldering anger over a joke Kimmel told at the Oscars six months ago.

So Kimmel invited his wife, Molly, to respond. She had some advice for Trump, suggesting that he, “Shut up and go away. Go to Mar-a-Lago. Spend all day cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax. And let a competent woman take over.” That would surely crack him up. Literally! If he isn’t already cracked beyond repair.

Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

Posted by on September 24, 2024 at 12:55 pm. 0 Comments :

The symptoms of malignant narcissism include an obsessive, insatiable craving for constant approval and unflinching adoration. It’s one of the most obvious symptomatic affirmations that Donald Trump is suffering from a severe case of that sociopathic personality defect. He simply cannot tolerate any diversion from total adulation.

Donald Trump Fox News

Consequently, it’s somewhat astonishing that Trump is so frequently upset with Fox News, the network that has made it their mission to advance the interests of Trump and his MAGA GOP movement. They have been so pernicious in their pursuit of pro-Trump propaganda that it cost them 3/4 of a billion dollars to back up his flagrant lies and political scams. Which they are still doing…

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

On Tuesday morning Trump headlined another one of his traveling salvation shows to shore up the devotion of his cult disciples. And in the process he delivered a punch to Fox News for failing in their duty to be 100% faithful to Dear Leader. Trump whined…

“You ever notice on Fox…They put me on, I do a great job. And then they follow me with a horrible commercial. I say what the hell is the good of me doing it if you’re…Roger Ailes never allowed bad commercials. What’s the purpose of me doing a nice show and then they put nine horrible commercials on, which are all lies.

“But when they put somebody on that’s good and then they always feel like they have to put somebody on who’s bad. So the net result is neutral. And you say ‘What are you doing it for? You can’t do that.’ Fox should put just the good people on. The people that want to make America great again. They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.”

So Trump believes that a for-profit cable television network should refuse paid advertising if it isn’t unconditionally complementary to Trump. They should reject all ads by his political opponents. And if they don’t, there is no purpose in him gracing the network with his presence. Would he also support MSNBC refusing his ads?

But Trump goes even farther than that. He also believes that Fox News must not invite guest commentators, or interview politicians, who do not represent his point of view. They “should put just the good people on.” By which he means those who are unwaveringly loyal to him. He is arguing that Fox should maintain a radically partisan editorial policy. Which, despite Trump’s complaints, they pretty much already do.

It is interesting that Trump name-checks former Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes, as an exemplar of the reverential toadies that meet with his approval. Ailes was fired by Fox News for repeated sexual harassment. So Trump likely feels a sense of camaraderie with Ailes in that respect, along with his extreme far-right views.

However, Trump made an inadvertent slip with his demand that “They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.” If Fox News complied with that, then Trump himself would be barred from appearances on the network. His entire public persona is a scam. He practices it with both his political ploys and his financial frauds.

Trump’s banishment from the airwaves, and politics, would be the single most effective anti-scam initiative in modern history at – in Trump lingo – a level that was never seen before. But not to worry, MAGA-nauts. Fox News will never willingly abandon their fuehrer. They have too much invested already.

Fox News Lies that Biden Wasn’t at a Cabinet Meeting, Even as Their Own Video Shows Him There

Posted by on September 23, 2024 at 12:59 pm. 4 Comments :

First Lady Jill Biden’s presence at a Cabinet meeting last week has triggered the hypersensitive conspiracy crackpots at Fox News. This is another example of how desperate they are for anything derogatory with which to smear President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Friends

Since the Trump-fluffing propagandists at Fox News can’t find anything of substance to use against Harris, they are increasingly resorting to ridiculous trivialities and outright lies to malign the Democratic ticket. And often their pathetic criticisms are both trivial and false. For example…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Desperately Struggling to Find Dirt on Kamala Harris – Here is What They Found

On Monday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends launched another of their patented disinformation campaigns that are specifically designed to appeal the gullible rubes that comprise the vast majority of their audience. The segment addressed reports that Jill Biden had attended a White House Cabinet meeting.

Unveiling what the hosts – Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones – apparently believe is a bombshell revelation about President Biden and his administration, they engaged in the following exchange…

Doocy: Regarding Jill Biden, maybe she’s saying that because she’s running the country.
Earhardt: Yeah. She was at the cabinet meeting on Friday. She was at the head of the table. Here’s a picture of her. And I was watching Fox and Friends Weekend and I turn on the TV and I see her at the end of the table and I’m, like, where is he [President Biden]? Why isn’t he at this meeting?
Jones: Miranda Devine [of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post] writes ‘Who exactly is running the country.’ Certainly it appears to be Jill Biden and not Joe Biden.”

So Fox “News” is reporting that Biden did not attend his Cabinet meeting. And they forcefully demanded to know where he was and why he wasn’t there. But if they had bothered to watch the video that was playing while they were talking, they would have seen Biden right there at the table. Apparently that was too much to ask of these alleged journalists.

What’s more, Fox reported that the First Lady was seated at the head of the table, which they claimed was evidence that she was running, not merely the meeting, but the whole country. However, Biden’s usual place at such meetings is in the middle of the table, where he sat on this occasion as well. But Fox News was too busy digging for nonexistent dirt to pay any attention to measly things like facts. Even if they are only related to the national security implications of – seating arrangements?

What Fox neglected to report entirely was why the First Lady was there in the first place. It was because the President invited her “to give an update on the White House initiative to fundamentally change how we approach and fund women’s health services.” According to the White House transcript of the event…

“We’re grateful that Jill is here today. And here, across previous administrations, first ladies have attended these meetings and on — for specific reasons. It’s the first time Jill has joined us. And it goes to show how important the issue is, what she’s about to speak to, to both of us.”

Naturally, Fox News doesn’t want to inform their viewers that Biden and Harris are delivering tangible benefits for women. Particularly when MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump have such animosity toward them and openly hold them in contempt.

While the GOP is working to deprive women of critical healthcare, Democrats are making progress expanding those services. And the only thing that Fox News can do in response is to air asinine stories about seating arrangements and the President missing a meeting that he was actually at. And this is what they call “news.”

Wannabe Dictator Trump Threatens to Revoke ABC News Broadcast License in Fox News Interview

Posted by on September 22, 2024 at 1:15 pm. 3 Comments :

The fallout from the ABC News debate with Vice-President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump continues to produce lesions in the body politic. Mostly in the form of whining by Trump, despite the fact that he insists that he won, which is contrary to post-debate polling.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

In the two short weeks following the debate, the positive impact for Harris is inarguable. Her fundraising, which was already remarkable by recent standards, continues to set records. And polls have shown her surging into leads nationally and in the critical swing states, a development that has Trump sinking into severe psychosis…

For someone who wants the world to believe that he emerged from the face-off as the undisputed victor, Trump sure complains a lot. He has spent the past couple of weeks attacking the debate moderators as biased, and making ludicrous accusations that Harris was given the questions (and answers) beforehand and that she wore a communications device disguised as an earring. None of which contained even a speck of truth.

Building on those lies, Trump gave an interview to MAGA friendly Fox News flunky, Brian Kilmeade, wherein he elaborated on his psychobabble. But his remarks transcended his familiar mutterings of bias, devolving into open authoritarian threats…

Kilmeade: A Democratic pollster is calling for an investigation of ABC and the moderators. He wants communications pulled to see if they were talking to each other because of the fact-check on you and not on them, and the questions and topics. Do you join in those questions?
Trump: Sure, I do. I think they should be investigated. And you know, they have to get a license from the federal government.

First of all, the alleged Democratic pollster Kilmeade mentioned was the notoriously right-wing former Democrat, Mark Penn. And neither he, nor Trump, nor Fox News have any justification for, or authority to demand internal communications from ABC News.

More ominous, however, is Trump’s response wherein he makes an overt threat to revoke the broadcast license of ABC News. That’s the sort of totalitarian abuse of power that is practiced by Trump’s idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And it’s how Trump promises govern if he were to return to power. It’s also consistent with his longstanding hatred of the free press that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Trump, and Fox News, assert that ABC demonstrated bias by daring to fact-check Trump during the debate, but not Harris. However, it isn’t her fault that Trump lied more than 30 times, while she stuck to truth. And if demonstrating bias was the crime that Trump and Fox is so concerned about, they might want to take a look in the mirror. Fox “News” has been nothing but a bald-faced, and shamelessly dishonest, right-wing propaganda outfit from its inception.

What’s more, Trump grossly exaggerated (as usual) the incidence of fact-checks, saying that he was checked “nine or 11 different times about things that I was right on virtually every case.” And while they could have legitimately fact-checked him 30 times, it was actually only four, for which he was clearly wrong. The moderators politely corrected Trump on the following subjects…

  • Abortion: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
  • Migrant Pet Cuisine: “[There were] no credible reports of pets or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals in the immigrant community.”
  • Crime: “As you know, the FBI says that overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country.”
  • The 2020 Election: “60 cases in front of many judges, many of them Republican, looked at it and said there was no widespread fraud.”

That was every fact-check of Trump that occurred during the debate. And everyone one of them was appropriate and fair and handled with dignity and an intent to inform voters. And despite his lie-riddled, angry, and often incoherent performance, Trump still says that…

“I thought it was a great debate for me. I thought it was one of my best debates that I’ve ever had. And some people disagree, but I thought it was the strongest debate I ever had.”

Well, if that was “the strongest debate [he] ever had,” then why is he so afraid to take the stage with Harris one more time before Election Day? Does he really want that embarrassing display to be the last thing that millions of Americans see before they vote? Or is he just too scared that he will get pummeled again if he agrees to another match?

Harris’ challenge to Trump to have another debate is brilliant. It’s a lose-lose scenario for Trump. If he agrees, he is likely to get another beatdown. If he declines, he’s affirming his fear. So the question for Trump is whether he is more worried about being seen as a loser or a chicken. Although it may be too late for him on both counts.

Trump Rants Hysterically that Women are ‘Poor’ and ‘Depressed’ But that He Will Fix Everything

Posted by on September 21, 2024 at 1:14 pm. 0 Comments :

From the beginning of his misadventures in politics, Donald Trump has exalted himself as the panacea to all of life’s ills. He has insisted that only he could resolve the nation’s problems. He contends that all manner of misfortune – from inflation to the war in Ukraine – would never have happened were he in charge.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Trump’s magical mystery revisionist history is evidence of the severity of the decay that has spread in his sickly cerebral cavity. Not only is he clueless about problem solving, he is often the cause of the problem itself. And in the end he manages to humiliate himself with astonishingly deranged commentaries.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

On Saturday morning Trump provided some outstanding examples of his demented world view. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted a couple of manic messages that ought to scare the bejeebus out of anyone with a remnant of rationality.

Trump began his tantrum describing the horrendous state of women in America, saying in part (and in all-caps) that…

“WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION.”

Who better than Trump to assess this “NIGHTMARE” that women are enduring? Are there no better authorities on the status of women than someone who was found liable for sexual harassment and been adjudicated a rapist? Not to mention the dozens of other accusations of sexual assault that have been levied against him.

And yet, Trump sees himself as the savior of women who can make them all “HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE!” If only they would shut their yaps and do what he tells them to do. Gawd forbid any of them ever challenge or disagree with him. They, of course, would be put in their place as “low IQ,” “birdbrains,” and/or “crazy.”

Trump’s second morning harangue was aimed the media that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He started out lambasting a familiar foe, Bill Maher, who he calls “a befuddled mess.” Then he turns to Maher’s guests, “‘dumb as a rock bimbo’ Stephanie Ruhle” and “Trump hating loser, Bret Stephens.”

Naturally, Trump’s insult of Ruhle is a misogynistic screed that further demonstrates his hatred of women. And his attack on conservative pundit Stephens includes a swipe at the New Times that he thinks he is driving crazy. He also repeats his false claim that the Times is “FAILING,” suggesting that they “put it to sleep.” For the record, the Times is doing a heck of a lot better than Trump’s own Truth Social…

This is the what Trump felt compelled to address with just over six weeks until Election Day. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are crisscrossing the country, holding rallies in swing states and interacting with voters. Trump, meanwhile, is phoning in to MAGA friendly TV shows and podcasts, and visiting places (e.g. New York) where he can’t hope to get any votes worth mentioning.

Nevertheless, Trump still has time to post ditzy diatribes on Truth Social where no one will see them but his cult followers, and critics who find him pathetic and ripe for ridicule. It’s a brilliant campaign strategy that befits a “stable genius.”

UPDATE: Desi Lydic of The Daily Show has something to say about Trump’s promise to be the protector of women…
