FACT CHECK: Serial Liar Trump Unleashed a Fury of Flagrant Falsehoods (aka Lies) on 60 Minutes

Posted by on November 3, 2025 at 1:07 pm. 0 Comments :

It is a rare occurrence when Donald Trump allows himself to be interviewed by anyone other than one of the slobbering sycophants who populate the MAGA media outlets like Fox News or Newsmax or One America News Network. It is evidence of his innate cowardice, insecurity, and fear of being asked a question that is more difficult than “How did you become so handsome and brilliant?”

Trump Lies

Which may have sparked some curiosity when it was announced that Trump would be interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Norah O’Donnell. Although it shouldn’t have for reasons that will be dealt with in more detail below. On the surface, it seemed peculiar that Trump would appear on the network and program that he recently sued for alleged “election interference.”

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

True to form, Trump delivered a performance that was rife with deflection and dishonesty. When he wasn’t making up fantastical diversions from reality, he was swerving off into unrelated responses to questions he either didn’t know the answers to, or was too afraid to reply with anything resembling the truth.

Fortunately, CNN’s designated fact-checker, Daniel Dale, was on the job. He posted a pretty comprehensive summation of the many lies that Trump tried to pass off as coherent replies to inquiries on some serious matters. What follows are some of the more egregiously truthless Trumpisms itemized in Dales’s article…

  • It’s not true grocery prices “are down”; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they’re up
  • It’s not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now” (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated “announcements” figure)
  • It’s not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times” (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
  • It’s not true Trump has ended “eight wars” (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren’t wars at all
  • It’s not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
  • It’s not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
  • It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” (his usual lie)
  • It’s not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
  • It’s not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
  • It’s not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle
  • It’s not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants

It’s ironic that Trump is lying so profusely during a “60 Minutes” interview. He sued CBS over an interview they conducted with Kamala Harris that he said was election interference and “probably illegal.” CBS settled the lawsuit without apologizing or conceding any wrongdoing. But they still shelled out $16 million dollars for his presidential library, if there is ever is one.

That settlement was a more of a bribe that CBS was paying to insure that mob boss Trump wouldn’t block the merger that CBS’ parent corporation, Paramount, was trying to complete with Skydance Media, a company run by Trump pals, Larry and David Ellison. There was no legal reason to settle. The case had no merit whatsoever. Trump was alleging that “60 Minutes” had improperly edited the interview to favor Harris politically. They didn’t.

What’s more, Trump acknowledged that he knew that CBS would be editing his interview. Which they did. It was whittled down from 90 minutes to about 28, in much the same way that he complained about for the Harris interview. And while it was in progress, Trump revealed that, not only was he aware of the editing, but he gave CBS permission to edit out specific parts that exposed the bias of the network’s new owners in his favor…

“You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you. […] I think you have a great new leader, frankly, who’s – the young woman [Bari Weiss] that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know – I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person. But ’60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took her [Kamala Harris] answer out that was so bad it was election-changing.”

So Trump sued CBS for what they did with the Harris interview, which is also precisely what he was now conspiring with CBS to do for his own interview. And the rest of the time he was lying. Of course, most of America – and the world – is already aware that Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. But the reputation of CBS is now pretty much shot to hell. And unless the honest journalists who haven’t quit yet rise up to defend the free press, CBS can take their place in the MAGA Media Hall of Shame.

Seth Meyers Triggers Crybaby Trump to Whine that Being Anti-Trump is ‘Probably Illegal’

Posted by on November 2, 2025 at 10:50 am. 2 Comments :

For anyone who is still not fully convinced that Donald Trump has authoritarian aspirations, he helpfully continues to provide more proof every day. In both his words and actions Trump demonstrates that he has an insatiable compulsion to reign as an unchallengeable dictator who demands unflinching loyalty to him alone.

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

Seth Myers and Donald Trump baby

The range of Trump’s atrocities in the past nine months of his second occupation of the White House is impressively tyrannical. He could not be more clear about his nefarious intentions. And his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt was kind enough to remind us all of the sort of monstrous things that Trump is doing while the American people suffer.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is HORRIFIED…By a White House Toilet?

The latest example of Trump’s blatant fomenting of fascism comes in another one of his comments posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a typically rancid outburst, Trump lashed out at late night talk show host, Seth Meyers, for hilariously mocking Trump’s ignorance and obsession with petty grievances that he pitifully fails to understand. Trump raged that…

“Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? – NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

Trump’s animus toward Meyers has been a decades long affair. It likely began when Meyers was the featured comedian at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011, where he performed a killer routine that took some jolting jabs at Trump, who obviously didn’t think it was funny. So it hardly matters that today Trump thinks Meyers is untalented. He’s been saying that for years. And he’s still saying it as recently as this past August…

MORE HERE: Snowflake Trump Blasts Seth Meyers and Threatens Comcast Because Jokes Hurt His Tender Fee Fees

What matters is that Trump closed his rant by whining that Meyers was “ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!” That’s right. The American PINO (President in Name Only) has declared that it’s illegal to be anti-Trump. And all because Meyers revealed that Trump is an idiot who knows nothing about whatever subject he is stuck on. On this occasion it was the differences between steam powered or electro-magnetic catapults on aircraft carriers (Video below).

TRUMP: “They’re spending billions of dollars to build stupid electric. And the problem, when it breaks, you have to send up to MIT, get the most brilliant people in the world, fly them out, it’s ridiculous. The steam they said they could fix with a hammer and a blowtorch and it works just as well if not better. And I love the sight of that beautiful steam pouring off that deck – with the electric, you don’t have that.” […]
MEYERS: “[Trump] spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E Coyote. Next, they’re gonna start complaining how our troops don’t tie themselves to rockets anymore, [Imitating Trump] ‘We used to strap our soldiers to the rockets and they loved it, but then everything got woke and they said ‘You can’t tie a person to a rocket. But we miss those days and we’re bringing them back.'”

Then Meyers delivers his new segment “Seth Translates Trump To English,” in which he gives an explanation of the difference between the catapults that is far more detailed than anything Trump could do. Meyers also provides another example of Trump saying that any criticism of him is treason.

SEE ALSO: Trump Accuses Chuck Schumer of Being ‘Almost Treasonous’ Just for Criticizing Dear Leader

It Trump really wants to make any criticism of him a breach of the law – or even worse, treason – he’s going to have to build a lot more prisons. Or at least make more deals for millions of cells is foreign gulags. Needless to say, he won’t get away with it. But he can still do some short term damage. And he must not be allowed any leeway for any of it.

It will take a broad coalition of patriots – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans – as well as the courts and the Congress to smack down Trump’s anti-American crusade. We are all necessary in this valiant fight to 8647. Be strong, and be ready. And recognize that Trump and his MAGA clown brigades are far weaker than he wants you to believe.

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is HORRIFIED…By a White House Toilet?

Posted by on November 1, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The American presidency is currently going through some of the most troubling challenges in its history. For the first time ever we have, in Donald Trump, a White House occupant who is emulating the behavior of notorious totalitarian dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, all of whom he frequently reminds us are leaders that he admires.

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

Donald Trump, Toilet, Bathrobe

Having an avowed autocrat as the American PINO (President in Name Only) is creating unprecedented challenges that portend seriously disturbing consequences if not rejected by the American people and what remains of our government institutions.

Unfortunately, those institutions are being strained by the cowardice of Trump’s Republican Party colleagues and the blind fealty of his White House staff. And topping the list of the Trump Sycophants Brigade is his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

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

With all of the trauma and turmoil that this nation is currently undergoing, Leavitt made a point of highlighting what she regards as among the most worrisome problems that America is facing. And she tweeted her relief that Dear Leader was addressing that problem head on, saying that…

“When I first learned a toilet like that existed inside the White House, I was horrified. President Trump is making the People’s House more elegant and beautiful for generations of Americans to come!”

Thank gawd! Now, along with building an elegant ballroom for Trump to throw parties paying tribute to him. he and his guests will be able to defecate in the luxury to which they are accustomed. How could anyone even contemplate the horror of the loathsome lavatory on the left in the photos above? But now “generations of Americans” will delight in the gaudy “elegance” of the marble amenities that Trump has installed. Well, actually only a handful of privileged elites with access to the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.

Trump posted seven separate comments about his facility upgrade on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. So naturally, Leavitt backed him up in a tweet. It is notable that Leavitt has expressed how “horrified” she was by the prior state of the rest room. So, for the record, let’s explore just a few of the things that did not “horrify” Leavitt:

  • Trump’s government shutdown that cut off food aid for children and seniors
  • Trump’s termination of funding for the USAID that will result in thousands of deaths
  • Inflationary tariffs that raise the cost of living of most Americans
  • Healthcare premiums skyrocketing by as much as 400%
  • Trump’s “Justice” Department prosecuting his political foes
  • Ministers getting shot in the face by ICE agents
  • Trump sending the military into American cities
  • Palestinians suffering genocidal attacks in Gaza
  • Trump halting military support for Ukraine at the behest of Vladimir Putin
  • Murder of Venezuelans in the Caribbean who may have been innocent fishermen
  • Trump and Republicans calling peaceful protesters “terrorists”
  • Trump suppressing the media that he calls “the enemy of the people”

With all of that going on, it is comforting that at least we can be grateful now that Leavitt and her ilk will no longer have to suffer from using a toilet that isn’t embedded in a marble mausoleum. Likewise, we can rest assured that Trump is focusing like a laser on the matters that truly impact the lives of the American people. And now he has a place to deposit his excrement, rather than on top of the people who were protesting his authoritarian aspirations.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Trump’s Threats to Nuke the Filibuster Could Lead to a Republican Nightmare

Posted by on October 31, 2025 at 12:00 pm. 0 Comments :

On this All Hallows Eve, there is an unnerving quantity of truly spooky horrors hovering over the nation that has been possessed by the Orange Demon, Donald Trump. The monster that MAGA made is as terrifying as any of the Frankensteins, Draculas, or zombies, dreamed up in the most spine-chilling horror fiction.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

Trump is truly doing the devil’s work as he imposes inflationary tariffs that increase the cost of living, bombs boats in the Caribbean without any evidence that they are anything but innocent fishermen, rounds up migrants for deportation to foreign gulags, prosecutes his political foes, and keeps the government shutdown while the American people suffer from loss of pay and benefits.

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

Now, just in time for Halloween, Trump is issuing threats that should scare the pants of all decent, patriotic Americans. Because he has been unable to shove his despicable and unpopular policies down the throats of the Democratic representatives of the people, which triggers his frustration of not reigning like an all-powerful dictator, Trump is commanding his MAGA GOP puppets in Congress to “NUKE” the longstanding parliamentary rules of the Senate in order to get his way.

Trump posted an interminably long comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he called for Republicans to invoke what he calls the “”Nuclear Option.” His raging edict to eliminate the filibuster includes the following excerpts…

“It is now time for the Republicans to play their “TRUMP CARD,” and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” […]

“Just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this, but were unable to pull it off…to substantially expand (PACK!) the United States Supreme Court, make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico States…and many other highly destructive things.” […]

“I want to do it in order to take advantage of the Democrats.”

Scary, isn’t it? But what’s really frightening about it should worry Republicans more than the Democrats that Trump is aiming to “take advantage of.” Because while there would surely be some near-term political atrocities, finishing off the filibuster could result in some unintended terror for the Trumpists when, inevitably, the Democrats regain the majority in Congress, and the White House. Long desired Democratic legislation could be passed without any interference from the GOP obstructionists. For instance…

  • Pass election reforms including the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act to set national standards for early voting, mail-in voting, and redistricting.
  • Supreme Court reforms including ethics standards, term limits, and adding four more justices.
  • Improving on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and working toward Medicare for All.
  • The Green New Deal programs to advance clean energy mandates.
  • Increase the federal minimum wage to $15.00 or more.
  • Codify Roe v. Wade and LGBTQ+ equality protections to be applicable nationwide.
  • Pass comprehensive gun safety laws such as universal background checks and banning assault weapons.
  • Expand child care and elder care programs that Republicans have been blocking.
  • Tax the rich and provide tax relief for working class Americans.
  • Statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico that would enfranchise those citizens and create four more senate seats.
  • Release the Epstein files if they are still being withheld by the time the next Democratic Congress is in session.

And that’s just for starters. It’s ironic that Trump is launching his campaign to nuke the filibuster at the same time as he is declaring his intention to resume testing actual nukes. But the result could be the pursuit and achievement of an aggressive progressive agenda. And Republicans may come to regret the change just so that they could give Trump congressional approvals to do things that he has already been doing without approval or legal justification.

However, we should never underestimate the ability of the GOP to fail to think things through, and wind up hurting themselves. Given their determination to unleash holy hell on America, their incompetence is one of the few bright spots that Democrats and all Americans can rely on.

Trump Accuses Chuck Schumer of Being ‘Almost Treasonous’ Just for Criticizing Dear Leader

Posted by on October 30, 2025 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

Two weeks ago seven million American patriots hit the streets of big cities, small towns, and everything in between, to express their opposition to the totalitarian tactics of wannabe dictator Donald Trump. It was dubbed the “No Kings” movement to focus attention on the autocratic aspirations of Trump and his glassy-eyed cult followers.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

Prior to and following that massive outpouring of opposition to Trump’s nefarious ambition, Trump and his MAGA confederates sought to belittle and dismiss the demonstrations that drew more protesters than any other such demonstration in history. They even sought to portray the protesters as lunatics, paid provocateurs, and terrorists. No, really…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

In the days following the “No Kings” events, Trump has done little to disabuse anyone of the warnings of the emerging dictatorship that Trump portends. To the contrary, he is actually exacerbating the cause for alarm. And on Thursday morning he posted a comment on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social, that justifies the concerns of the people who abhor his monarchal maneuvers. Trump raged that…

“Worked really hard, 24/7, took in Trillions of Dollars, and Chuck Schumer said trip was ‘a total dud,’ even though he knows it was a spectacular success. Words like that are almost treasonous!!!”v

There is a steaming pile of putrid prevarication in that tortured tirade. First of all, Trump never works “really hard.” He is perhaps the laziest occupant of the White House ever. He spends most of his time golfing, watching Fox News, and posting inane comments online. What’s more, he certainly didn’t work 24 hours a day for seven days while in Asia. In fact, the junket only lasted for five days. But in his defense, every day he is in office feels like a week. Nor did he take in “trillions of dollars.” If he did, then where is it? It’s not in the U.S. treasury. There is no record of its receipt. Did he get it in crypto and deposit it in his private account?

However, Trump was right about one thing. Sen. Chuck Schumer did say that Trump’s trip was “a total dud.” But he said it in the middle of a fifteen minute address on the Senate floor where he castigated Trump for his incompetence and dishonesty. The odds that Trump actually listened to the whole speech are less than zero. So somebody on his staff likely told him about the “dud” remark and nothing else.

Therefore, Trump likely didn’t hear that Schumer also said that “As we enter the 29th day of the government shutdown, where is Donald Trump? He is gallivanting in Asia, dancing in Malaysia.” Schumer also noted that Trump would “strike a trade deal that will sell out the American people,” and “give away vital national security tools, in exchange for little more than a photo op,” and that “This is Trump’s M.O. in foreign policy. He creates a giant mess. Then he wants everyone to praise him when he tries to clean it up and ignore the damage that he has inflicted.” And then came the part that triggered Trump…

“Trump’s trip to the Asian continent could have been a real opportunity to make progress with America’s vital trading partners. He could have used this trip to end his reckless trade war, to stop alienating our allies, to show strength and unite our allies against the Chinese Communist Party, and, most importantly, to help Americans struggling with high costs here at home. But so far, his trip has been a total dud.“

Many Democrats have been critical of Schumer lately, believing that he has not been aggressive enough at countering the threat that Trump represents to democracy and America. Whatever the validity of that criticism, Schumer gave a bold and forthright condemnation of Trump on this particular occasion. And Trump showed that, once again, he is a tender and fragile snowflake who can’t handle honest appraisals of his failures and flaws.

Consequently, Trump responds by lashing out with preposterously vile and childish insults and accusations of treason. But Trump’s inbred hatred has driven him to cast aspersions of treason on many of his political foes, including: President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, James Comey, Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and pretty much all of the media.

Trump also wanted all of the members of the House January.6th committee tried for treason. That’s the Committee that was investigating the actual treason committed by Trump’s cult, and whom Trump pardoned despite their having ransacked the Capitol and sent 140 police officers to the hospital in an effort to undermine democracy.

MORE HERE: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

For good – or more accurately, bad – measure, Trump also posted a comment baselessly attacking President Joe Biden for unspecified crimes, and also calling for him to be incarcerated. And of course, the comment sunk to the level of a petulant seven year old whose only motivation was vengeance…

Whiny baby Trump can't get over having lost to President Biden. So, like the wannabe dictator that he is, he makes infantile insults (ugly?) and has orgasmic thrills from delusions that Biden is "squirming."Even worse, Trump keeps calling for Biden' arrest, despite no evidence of any crime.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-30T16:02:27.588Z

These comments are not going to do much to persuade anyone that Trump doesn’t aspire to reign as an unchallenged tyrant in the mold of heroes and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And Sen. Schumer touched on that as well in his speech, saying that…

“American families are facing enough problems right now, with the nightmare of open enrollment, the pain of higher groceries, the prices of everything from cars to home appliances to electricity skyrocketing. The last thing they want is to turn on the TV and see Trump being gifted a golden crown and then signing a deal with China that royally screws over Americans.”

More of this, please. Every Democrat- in fact, every patriot – needs to echo and expand on these remarks. And we need to do it until every trace of Trumpism is gone. That’s the only way that we can actually make America great again.

Trump’s Truth Social to Host Online Gambling So He Can Profit By Making Bets on His Own Actions

Posted by on October 29, 2025 at 2:09 pm. 1 Comments :

The sketchy business practices of the felonious Donald Trump and his MAGA accomplices in crime continues to blaze new paths to riches for the Commander-and-Thief who presently occupies the White House. Recent reports have detailed the Trump family’s skyrocketing wealth during the just the past nine months of his second inglorious term.

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

Trump Penthouse Phone

Much of the ill gotten gain that Trump has accumulated has come from his crypto enterprises that have the added benefit of concealing the nefarious characters with whom he is doing business. However, another rich vein of dirty dollars is his Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that is the parent entity for Truth Social and other scammy ventures. And the newest wrinkle in TMTG’s portfolio is a “prediction betting marketplace” that will provide online gambling opportunities for Trump’s cult followers. According to ABC News…

“President Donald Trump’s social media company, Trump Media and Technology Group, announced Tuesday that it will soon launch a prediction betting marketplace on Truth Social, allowing users to gamble on sports and politics directly on the platform.

Devin Nunes, the CEO of TMTG, said in a statement that the firm is ‘democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight.'”

Fantastic! Trump is returning to the casino business that he so utterly failed in with multiple bankruptcies. Now he will now be presiding over an online gambling operation that specifically targets two sectors of society over which Trump has demonstrated flagrant dishonesty and incompetence: Sports and politics.

Specifically with regard to politics, an online betting platform could offer wagers about future actions over which Trump himself will have decision making responsibility. Which means that he will know the outcome of whatever the wager concerns. And so will anyone that he chooses to tell. That hardly seems like a fair betting field. But it does seem like the sort of sham that Trump could use to further enrich himself and his comrades through his proxies.

Therefore, it’s consistent with most of Trump’s prior shady businesses. TMTG, for instance, was trading at about $43.00 the week before his inauguration this year. Nine months later it is under $17.00. That’s a decline of more than 60% while the S&P 500 rose more than 8%. Meanwhile, Trump’s crypto meme coin, which he launched the day before his inauguration at $74.00, is now trading at about $9.00, a massive drop of 88%.

None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to the Trump financial empire that has been notorious for its rampant failure and potential fraud. For instance…

Truth Social Parent Plans Desperate Share Buyback to Boost its Failing Stock and Enrich Trump
This is a tactic that is sometimes used to juice failing stocks. By reducing the shares available on the market, the remaining shares should be more valuable. That would mean an extraordinary leap in wealth for Trump who is the largest stakeholder

SRSLY? Trump Brags that His Pitifully Failing Meme Coin is a ‘Tracker’ of His Imaginary Success
Trump’s meme coin is hardly a game-changer. While it has generated a significant horde of untraceable cash for Trump, who paid nothing for his shares, it has been an abysmal loser for nearly everyone else who was foolish enough to invest in it.

Trump’s Truth Social is Creating ‘Non-Woke’ Investment Portfolios for MAGA Cult Investors/Dupes
The focus of the Trump investment portfolios rests on buzzwords plucked from his political rhetoric. And what could possibly have more income potential than “non-woke” enterprises that pursue the anti-democratic goals of the MAGA movement?

Truth Social, Trump’s Pathetic Personal Propaganda Platform, Continues to Bleed Cash
In what may be the least surprising news of the year so far, Donald Trump’s flagship social media enterprise, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – the parent holding company of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social – released its annual report on Friday that revealed just how big a failure it is.

Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat
The Donald Trump-controlled Truth Social platform recorded its third straight month of declining traffic. Truth Social attracted 2,112,000 unique visitors, down 38% compared to June 2023 when the site generated 3,407,000 unique visitors. It was the platform’s second worst traffic performance since June 2022 when Truth Social had only 1,891,000 unique visitors.

MAGA Mike Johnson Inadvertently Gives a Master Class on the Mental Incapacity of Donald Trump

Posted by on October 28, 2025 at 2:31 pm. 0 Comments :

When the Republican Party chose Mike Johnson as their leader, and subsequently House Speaker, it was a desperation move following the crash of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the failure of any other Republican to garner enough votes for the job.

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

Donald Trump

McCarthy was booted from the post because he agreed to a Continuing Resolution that passed with Democratic support. Then the GOP took three weeks to select Johnson after running through such losers as Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer. So naturally, Johnson is scared witless of actually doing his job, which requires negotiating with Democrats. The result is that he’s living down to the low expectations people had of him from the start.

SEE THIS: OH NO! MAGA Mouthpiece Mike Johnson Declares that it’s ‘The End of the Democratic Party’

During his morning press briefing on Tuesday, Johnson sought to manufacture yet another fallacious “scandal” to deflect from his incompetent “leadership.” He told the assembled media about a report just released by the GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee that contained nothing but fiction about President Biden and the pardons he issued. Johnson ranted that…

“Oversight chairman James Comer released a blockbuster report on the ‘Biden Autopen Presidency.’ And this report includes 47 hours worth of transcripts and testimony revealing that every executive action signed by the autopen without written authorization should be voided…Including all the pardons that he signed.”

Mike Johnson: "Every executive action signed by the autopen without written authorization should be voided … including all the pardons that he signed."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-28T14:16:29.803Z

For the record, there was nothing in the report that remotely resembled evidence of anything untoward by Biden. It was full of biased and baseless conjecture provided other Republicans. Which won’t surprise anyone who is familiar with Comer’s prior work as Oversight chair, wherein he utterly failed to find any wrongdoing by the Biden family or any other Democrat that he targeted for persecution.

However, the report’s release was enough for Johnson to launch a bizarre assault on Biden and his mental acuity while in the White House. Johnson unloaded the following certifiable nonsense…

“Nothing this incredible and insane has happened before. This is not something that the forefathers anticipated. It’s unprecedented. There is no legal precedent. No previous president had an autopen, or had the audacity to have people signing things on their behalf when they didn’t even know what was in it…The President was checked out of his job for quite some time, and everybody knows it.” […]

“[Biden] pardoned categories of violent criminals and turned them out on the streets. He didn’t even know what the categories were, apparently, much less the individual people that he pardoned. They’re invalid on their face. I would love to take this case and go into the court and make that way to set the precedent. You can’t allow a president to check out and have unelected, faceless people making massive decisions for the country.

Mike Johnson claims that Biden's pardons are "invalid on their face. I used to be a constitutional litigator. I would love to take this case and go into the court and make that way to set the precedent. You can't allow a president to check out and have unelected people making massive decisions."

First of all, Johnson’s claim that “No previous president had an autopen,” is spectacularly deranged. Autopens have been in use by presidents since the 1950s. But more to the point, Johnson is flagrantly lying about Biden’s use of the autopen. Johnson has no proof that any executive action or pardon was signed by Biden, with or without an autopen, that he was unfamiliar with. Johnson is just blindly insulting Biden because that’s what infantile, desperate Republicans do.

Ironically, virtually everything that Johnson accused Biden of was actually true for Johnson’s Dear Leader Trump. And there is evidence of it as well. There is abundant video of Trump signing executive orders where he needs to have the order explained to him before he signs it. And certainly Trump had no idea who the 1,500 rioters were that he pardoned for their participation in the January 6th insurrection that he incited. They included many who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers as they stormed the Capitol.

Talk about being “checked out.” Trump’s obsession with windmills, and showers, and strong men who cry and call him sir, is patently demented. The funny thing about Johnson’s comments about Biden is that they fit Trump so perfectly. It is Trump who is dangling by a thread of sanity. And the folks at The Meidas Touch put together a short video that really drives the point home.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…This would be the most honest speech Mike Johnson ever gave – – – If he actually gave it. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

OH NO! MAGA Mouthpiece Mike Johnson Declares that it’s ‘The End of the Democratic Party’

Posted by on October 27, 2025 at 2:54 pm. 0 Comments :

The Donald Trump Shutdown of the United States government is approaching a new milestone as it nears a month of failing to accomplish a core responsibility of governing. It is nearing the record for a shutdown (35 days) that was set by Trump during his first term. Throughout this time Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress have desperately sought to shift the blame to their Democratic colleagues who are are in the minority.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Leading the crusade of disinformation is the GOP Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who has single handedly closed the House of Representatives even though there is no reason that the House can’t be in session and get critical work done while federal government agencies are shuttered. The Senate is open for business. But Johnson doesn’t really want the shutdown to end for political reasons, and he has said so explicitly…

SEE THIS: MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

What’s more, Johnson is also exploiting the shutdown in order to avoid swearing in newly elected Democratic representative Adelita Grijalva, who would provide the final signature necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files that Trump is so terrified of becoming public.

Consequently, Johnson is pulling out all the stops to protect the Epstein pedophiles, including Trump, and to spread the most vile slander about Democrats that can muster. A couple of weeks ago Johnson was attacking Democrats, and millions of Americans who participated in the “No Kings” demonstrations, as “terrorists.” But now he is maniacally upping the ante by announcing the total demise of the Democratic Party. In a Monday morning press briefing, Johnson railed that…

“What we’re witnessing is truly the end of the Democratic Party as we’ve known it. And even some Democrats are saying that out loud. You can see it in their interviews. I watched one last night.

“All of this is directly related to the Democrats’ shutdown show. Why? Because just like they decided to save their own skin, that they had to endorse the Marxist Mamdani in an unprecedented move, they have also decided that they had to shutdown the government in an unprecedented move, no matter the pain that inflicts on the hard working American people. They are simply more afraid of the Marxists in their party than they are of voters.”

There’s a surprising quantity of flat out idiocy in that brief oratory. Let’s begin with the fact that the Democratic Party is very much alive. In fact, it is polling better than Republicans, particularly on the shutdown, with 45% blaming the Republicans and only 39% pointing to the Democrats. And while Johnson claims that he has seen Democrats saying their party is dead, he doesn’t name names. But that’s only because he’s lying.

Johnson went on to malign the leading candidate for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, as a Marxist. Which is another lie that he and his fellow GOP Republicans are chanting in lockstep unison like good little fascists.

Finally, Johnson perpetuates the lie that Democrats are responsible for the pain being inflicted on the American people by the shutdown that has been orchestrated by Republicans. They are the majority party in both the House and the Senate. Their party leader is occupying the White House. It is their responsibility to negotiate a bipartisan deal that serves the best interests of all Americans.

Johnson, however, won’t consider doing that because he is the one who is more afraid of Dear Leader than of the voters. Johnson, in the fashion of history’s most notorious political servants to dictators, has completely abdicated his role as Speaker of the House to his master, Donald the Trump. And to make his humiliation even more pronounced, Johnson posted a video of President Obama blasting Republicans for shutting down the government during his term. But Johnson doesn’t realize that Obama’s arguments are even more damning now to today’s Republicans…

WHUT? Trump’s Treasury Secretary Says a $40 Billion Bailout of Argentina is…’America First’?

Posted by on October 26, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 0 Comments :

From the beginning of his political career, Donald Trump has been chanting the slogan “America First!” that he lifted from an early 1900s movement that was associated with anti-Semitism, fascism, and a campaign to prevent the United States from getting involved in World War II and the fight against Hitler and the Nazis.

Donald Trump

Trump’s adoption (aka theft) of the phrase was, therefore, consistent with its historical context. And he used it for much the same purpose. Which was to rile up bigoted nationalists and to foment hatred for anyone not belonging to the white, Christian majority in the U.S. It was less a call for national pride than an alarm warning of foreign usurpers. No less a conservative icon than former Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell sounded that alarm…

SEE THIS: Antifa Mitch McConnell Warns that Trump 2.0 and ‘America First’ are Like the Third Reich

On Sunday morning Trump’s Treason …er… Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, sought to add a new wrinkle to the definition of what“America First” means. During an interview on NBC with Kirsten Welker, Bessent was asked about Trump’s recent $40 billion gift to his pal Javier Milei, the current totalitarian leader of Argentina…

Welker: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, I’ll read a little bit of what she wrote. She says “Americans are getting decimated with high cost of living and skyrocketing insurance costs. Many of them have zero savings and some are maxing out credit cards to survive. Tell me how it’s America First to bailout a foreign country with $20 or even $40 BILLION taxpayer dollars.” How is this move America First, Mr. Secretary?
Bessent: Well, Kristen, it is America First because we are supporting a U.S. ally…and we want to set the tone in Latin America. Because look at what’s going on in Venezuela.

Scott Bessent on the $20 billion bailout of Argentina: "It is America First because we are supporting a U.S. ally."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-26T16:24:45.058Z

That’s a remarkably long stretch for Bessent to call a $40 billion bailout for the economic basket case, Argentina, an “America First” expenditure. There is no evident benefit for America, other than for the wealthy Americans, including Bessent, who have investments in the country. Even giving Bessent the benefit of a doubt, it would mean that similar bailouts for many other countries in Latin America would also be warranted. But Trump isn’t proposing any of that.

What’s more, there really are foreign interests whose welfare is actually critical to the national security of the United States. At the top of that list would be Ukraine, who is fighting for both their own sovereignty and the independence of every other European nation and NATO ally in the region. But Trump doesn’t seem to care about any of them.

Trump’s actual policies are anything but “America First.” His tariffs are burdensome taxes on the American people. His threats of aggression against everyone from Canada, to Greenland, to Panama, to Venezuela, are hardly beneficial to the U.S. His efforts to undermine healthcare will leave millions of Americans uninsured and at risk for serious illness or death. His cuts to federal programs that help America’s middle and lower income families are already causing great pain. His domestic military invasions of U.S. cities put fear into the hearts of migrants and citizens alike. And his suppression of the media that he calls “the enemy of the people” puts dangerous propaganda first.

How is any of that “America First”? How is it anything but Trump first? And how does it dispel the talk of his having authoritarian aspirations that only put him and his wealthy comrades first? Short answer: It doesn’t. Nor does it help Trump and his cronies who get so upset when people call them fascists. What else would you call them? Their own slogan hails from the same anti-American philosophy.

FINALLY: We Now Have Trump’s Health Care Plan – But It’s More of a Wealth Care Plan for the Rich

Posted by on October 25, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 0 Comments :

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. And for the fifteen years since, Republicans have sworn to repeal and replace it. Naturally, Donald Trump has embraced their anti-health agenda and joins in their complaints that Obamacare is a failing, socialist program. Never mind the fact that majorities of the American people approve of it and favor its continuation and expansion. Including majorities of Trump supporters.

Donald Trump

In addition to the GOP’s fierce opposition to Obamacare, they have spent the past fifteen years promising to reveal their own healthcare plan that they insist would be much better and less expensive. But apparently fifteen years have not been enough for them to actually produce their promised alternative. And while their failure to offer any plan of their own drags on, Trump and Republicans simultaneously persist in their efforts to push millions of Americans off of the plans they have now. Sometimes for preposterous reasons.

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

On Friday Mehmet Oz, Trump’s Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was interviewed on Fox News by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. In the course of their discussion “doctor” Oz provided some rare insight into the Healthcare plan that Trump and the MAGA GOP have in mind…

Dr Oz: What the healthcare system should do is not just pay the bills. We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That’s the goal of the health system.
Bartiromo: And that’s what you’ve been a champion of for years.

? Getting America back to work? Getting you to work longer? Build trillions of dollars of value to the GDPThat's what Trump flunky "Doctor" Oz thinks is the goal of America's health system. It's all about money and serving the aristocracy. Is that your goal in being healthy?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-24T16:49:12.949Z

And there you have it. According to a top official in Trump’s Health and Human Services Department, their priorities are “Getting America back to work…getting you to work longer…and build[ing] trillions of dollars of value to the GDP” (Gross Domestic Product). And you thought that healthcare policy had something to do with having access to doctors for yourself and your family, coverage for medical treatment and supplies, preventing illness and death, and general quality of life? What were you thinking?

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Oz, who Trump recruited from Fox News, would articulate this warped version of healthcare. After all, he is a well known quack who has advocated phony remedies and dangerous practices. During the COVID pandemic, Oz “promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25 Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.” And “In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause.” Would those increased deaths be worth it if it were your children?

The revelation by Oz that Trump’s goal for healthcare is to boost the GDP is consistent with pretty much everything else we know about Trump, the most transactional “president” in American history. He has always been about the grift and enriching himself and his rich friends. I can’t wait to see the details of how filling the workforce with all of our newly healthy, and older, citizens will juice the bottom line of American businesses.
