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

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’?

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

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.

Is Trump’s Secretary of ‘War’ Outlining Plans to Deploy the Military to Steal the Next Election?

In case anyone is still unconvinced that Donald Trump is plotting to make himself America’s first dictator, some comments made by his Secretary of “War” (a fake Cabinet post), Pete Hegseth, ought to clear it all up. That’s if Trump’s authoritarian moves to invade American cities, illegally impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners, prosecute (persecute) his political foes, ignore judicial rulings, and suppress the media, haven’t already done the trick.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Trump has demonstrated that he has no respect whatsoever for the United States Constitution or the principles it has represented for more than two centuries. And that disrespect is being parroted by Hegseth, whose recent edicts banishing the free press from the Pentagon are only the beginning of the Trump regime’s crusade to undermine democracy.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Secretary of War on the Press, Pete Hegseth, Is Rebuked By the Media He’s Trying to Censor

On Friday Hegseth joined Trump for a press avail at the White House where he engaged in the following exchange with a reporter…

Question: A memo circulating on social media details the establishment of a National Guard Response Force that’s going to be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April of 2026. Can you verify the authenticity of that memo, and do you have any more information on the operation?
Hegseth: I’m not going to answer particulars on something that may be in the planning process. But we definitely do have multiple layers of National Guard response forces in each state…and we will [deploy them] when necessary.”

What Trump's Secretary of "War," Pete Hegseth, is not denying is the Trump regime's plans to undermine democracy in upcoming elections.The military has no legal role in domestic crowd control or civil unrest. Unless they intend to be propping up a wannabe king. #NoKings!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-24T09:58:56.336Z

It is impossible to ignore the fact that Hegseth did not disavow the report about the ominously named “National Guard Response Force.” To the contrary, he confirmed that it “definitely” exists. What possible reason could Trump and Hegseth have for forming such a force? It has never existed before. And the timing puts it smack in the middle of the 2026 election season.

It is not much of a stretch to speculate that Trump has tasked Hegseth with leading a mission to obstruct the will of the people should they vote to remove Republicans as the majority party in Congress. Many polls currently show that Democrats have a good chance of prevailing in both the House and the Senate. And wannabe king Trump simply can’t allow that to happen.

On January 6, 2021, Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to hold on to power after President Biden beat him. Trump later pardoned the 1,500 rioters, making them available for future violent uprisings, and reassuring them and others that they would be similarly protected should they riot again.

More recently, GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has been stubbornly refusing to swear in a newly elected Democratic representative. Many people are accusing him of trying avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files. That’s possible. But another possibility is that he is testing his ability to block Democrats from taking control of the House if they win a majority next November.

Hegseth’s admission that he is ready to deploy a military force in all 50 states if “necessary” should trouble every patriotic American. We should all seek clarification as to what he means by “necessary.” But more importantly, every American must resist any attempts by Hegseth, Trump, or the rest of the MAGA regime, to steal our votes and deprive us of our democratic free will. This is not a drill!

Trump Brags that He Approved Disaster Aid, But Only for Red State Governors Who Support Him

Nine months into the reoccupation of the White House by Donald Trump, the nation is facing a slew of crises that will subject the American people to enduring harm and suffering. They include Trump’s gross mismanagement of the economy by the imposition of inflationary tariffs; his dismantling of federal agencies that serve critical needs of the people; and his military invasions of American cities to harass migrants and intimidate citizens.

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

Donald Trump

Also topping the list of catastrophes for which Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress are responsible, is the shutdown of the federal government that, at 22 days, is currently the second longest such shutdown in U.S. history. For the record, Trump holds the number one spot at 35 days during his first term. And he appears to be determined to break his own record.

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

In the meantime, various regions of the country are grappling with the sort of natural disasters that commonly occur due to storms, drought, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. In the past the federal government deployed its resources via the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to mitigate the harm and provide for a rapid recovery.

However, the Trump regime has blown FEMA apart in its crusade to dismantle all remnants of the federal bureaucracy that they regard as wasteful and corrupt. And in its place Trump is exercising his own prerogatives to distribute taxpayer funds as if they came from his personal piggy bank.

Consequently, Trump posted several comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he bragged about some disbursements of aid funds to states that have experienced recent painful acts of God. However, his political biases in how those funds are disbursed is glaringly evident.

In the posts listed below, note that each monetary grant went to a governor of a red state who supported Trump. And in each comment Trump makes sure to mention that the state receiving the grant had voted for him.

  • I spoke with Governor Kelly Armstrong, and informed him of my approval of $3 Million Dollars to…North Dakota, which I won THREE times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
  • I just informed Governor Mike Dunleavy that, based on his request, I am approving $25 Million Dollars to help Alaska…which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
  • I just finished speaking with Governor Jim Pillen, of the Great State of Nebraska, and told him that I have approved $15 Million Dollars for…Nebraska.”
  • I just spoke with Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Great State of Missouri, and told him that I am approving $2.5 Million Dollars…I won “The Show Me State” three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”

That is not the way that federal funds are supposed to be allocated. The president is expected to serve the needs of all the people, not just those who voted for him. But such ethical constraints have never been a part of Trump’s character, or lack thereof.

It’s notable that Trump also approved aid for North Carolina and Wisconsin, but didn’t bother to boast about those states that have Democratic governors. What’s more, he has not approved aid for recent disasters in Democratic strongholds, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It’s also notable that the total amount of aid for the states above – $45.5 million – is substantially less than what he is giving to to his dictator pal in Argentina – $40 billion.

That is typical of Trump who has long carried out a policy of retribution against his political foes, even threatening them with prosecution and incarceration. It goes back to his early rally chants aimed at Hillary Clinton to “Lock her up,” and continues today in his threats directed at Democratic leaders such as Sen. Adam Schiff, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and these defenders of democracy…

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Jail Chicago Governor and Mayor in Another Step Toward Fascist Dictatorship

This is just further proof that Trump couldn’t care less about the American people. He only cares about preserving and expanding his power. And if he has to reward and/or punish people or states based on their fealty to him in order to maintain control, he has neither the morality nor the shame to resist that narcissistic compulsion. Which only makes the need for him to be removed from office ASAP more imperative. 8647!

PROPAGANDA WORKS! Fox News and Other MAGA Media Deliver Disciples for Dear Leader Trump (Poll)

The United States as led by His MAGA-sty, Donald Trump, is suffering one of its most serious challenges since the Civil War. In many respects the current crisis embodies some of the same threats that tore the nation apart in that deadly and divisive conflagration. The Trump driven turmoil that America is undergoing today is ripping apart families over political and moral differences, and interpretations of law and principle.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

Trump and his Republican Party have taken the lead in disparaging Democrats and even Republicans who fail to be sufficiently worshipful of Trump. And it is not merely the divergence of opinion that is common in a healthy democracy. The MAGA-tists have embarked on a crusade that mirrors the hostilities that resulted in the Battle of the States almost 200 years ago. Their invectives and lies are off the charts crazy.

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

A new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) sheds additional light on the severity and the causes of the division in American political life. And, not surprisingly, much of the responsibility lies with the media. The poll found that…

“Americans who most trust far-right news, including Newsmax and One America News, for accurate political information show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job as president (92%), followed by 86% who most trust Fox News. Smaller majorities of Americans who most trust the radio (67%) and who do not trust any media source also approve (61%). Far fewer Americans who most trust YouTube or podcasts (46%), social media (42%), mainstream TV news (25%), and newspapers (19%) approve of the job Trump is doing as president.”

In short, viewers of Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and other MAGA media, are by far the most likely to believe the flagrant lies that prop up Trump’s public image. Those viewers are the glassy-eyed cult followers who regard Trump as a pseudo-deity who can do no wrong. And the reason they buy into that nonsense is that it is all that they are exposed to from the pro-Trump propaganda sources that they hungrily consume.

The poll delved deeply into a broad array of other political subjects and where Trump fit in. Or more pointedly, failed to fit in. For instance…

  • A majority of Americans agree “President Trump is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy” (56%).
  • A majority of Americans (56%) disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, compared with 42% who approve.
  • Americans who most trust far-right news show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job handling the Epstein files at 70%, followed by 68% who most trust Fox News.
  • Six in ten Americans (62%) believe things in the country are going in the wrong direction, including most Democrats (92%) and independents (71%), compared with 24% of Republicans.
  • Majorities say that the cuts in federal funding of health care programs (60%)…have gone too far.
  • Republicans (22%) are more likely than independents (16%) and Democrats (12%) to agree that political violence may be necessary to save the country.
  • Most Americans agree that “What President Trump is doing to the federal government is an assault on constitutional checks and balances and the rule of law” (54%).

While it is comforting to see that most of the American people reject Trump and his aspirational authoritarian agenda, it is troubling that there are still a fair number of weak willed citizens who are so easily misled. And the fact that they are swayed by the deliberately dishonest right-wing media is a disconcerting affirmation of the power of propaganda.

If the American experiment is to endure, there must be a solution to the harm posed by media that is purposefully lying on behalf of special interests, both political and financial. That solution must be careful not to step on the right of free speech. And while the right to speak may be practiced freely, it is not necessarily free of rebuttal or consequences if it deliberately causes harm.

Part of the solution was demonstrated in the $787 million settlement that Fox News had to pay to Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. There needs to be more of that. And it needs to hold individuals like Trump accountable as well. Because the more that liars in politics and media are held to a higher standard, the fewer opportunities evildoers will have to create the chaos that empowers the perpetrators of propaganda.

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

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans in Congress have orchestrated and maintained a government shutdown for more than a month now. They have yet to articulate a coherent reason for doing so, other than their ludicrous lie that they are preventing Democrats from giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants. For the record, no Democrat has advocated or proposed that.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

In reality, what Democrats are fighting for is to prevent the GOP from destroying the Affordable Care Act – aka Obamacare – and allowing healthcare costs to skyrocket for American citizens. Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to cast the blame on Democrats, despite the fact that Republicans are in control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency. They really believe that the American people are stupid enough to buy their blatant propaganda.

SEE THIS: The MAGA Response to Trump’s ‘Poop on America’ Video is Worse than the Disgusting Video Itself

GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has refused to open up the House of Representatives for business, leaning on the government shutdown that he and his colleagues created as an excuse. The two things have nothing to do with each other. There is no reason Congress cannot be in session during a shutdown. After all, they are all getting paid.

The obvious reason that Johnson is putting the House on pause is that he doesn’t want to swear in a newly elected Democratic member, Adelita Grijalva. She would make the 218th signature on a discharge petition that would require the House to vote on releasing the files of the late child sex trafficker, and friend of Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein. Of course, Johnson and his minions are denying that.

However, their denials don’t pass the smell test. The latest made up justification for avoiding doing the people’s business is to rewrite the history of the Democratic efforts to release the Epstein files. On Tuesday morning Johnson told reporters that…

“Democrats did not say one word about the Epstein files during the entire Biden presidency. They had all the files in the Biden DoJ. They didn’t say a word about it. Four years. Not a word. And suddenly now, they’ve somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they’ve imagined, and so they feign outrage.”

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-21T14:17:09.024Z

Nothing that Johnson said there is remotely truthful. PolitiFact did an extensive review of the timeline of the Democratic efforts to reveal the truth about the Epstein affair. What they found was entirely contrary to Johnson’s fallacious rambling…

“Starting in 2019, but before Epstein’s arrest that year on federal sex trafficking charges, some Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Lois Frankel and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, both of south Florida, launched a years long quest to release Epstein records.

“The Democrats called for former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who served as labor secretary during Trump’s first term, to testify about Epstein’s plea deal. They asked the Justice Department to investigate and release records. Democrats later pursued other strategies, including asking a Palm Beach, Florida, judge to release records.”

That’s a far cry from Johnson’s deliberately dishonest claim that “They didn’t say a word about it.” Not that Johnson or his Republican cohorts care about honesty. The notoriously dishonest Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, also weighed in saying that…

“The Democrats don’t care about transparency or accountability in this matter. The evidence we’ve gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein.”

Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-21T14:27:36.987Z

If Republicans actually have evidence that Trump is not implicated in the Epstein files, you really have to wonder why they are working so hard to avoid releasing them and exonerating their Dear Leader. In fact, if they actually had such evidence, they would have released the files months or years ago. And that’s even more true if they also have evidence that implicates former President Bill Clinton.

It’s hard to image that Republicans have any proof that Clinton “had far closer ties to Epstein” when there are years of photographic evidence of Trump and Epstein’s close friendship, but nothing similar with Clinton. Epstein was a frequent guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The only documentation of Clinton’s association with Epstein was that he used his plane, mostly for legitimate business related to the charitable Clinton Foundation. There is zero evidence of anything else. And it was the Trump administration that put Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, up in a Club Fed prison after she agreed not to implicate Trump in her dirty business.

If Trump and Johnson and the rest of the MAGA Klan really want to put the Epstein matter behind them, then they should release the files and take whatever heat happens to come their way. But they are clearly too afraid to do that. And the American people can see their fear. They can also see that Democrats aren’t the least bit afraid of demanding a full accounting and release of all the files. What does that tell you?

The MAGA Response to Trump’s ‘Poop on America’ Video is Worse than the Disgusting Video Itself

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, seven million American patriots took to the streets of more than 2,700 cities and towns across the nation to proclaim their love for their country and the democratic principles upon which it was founded. The “No Kings” rallies were a historic demonstration of the power of the people to smack down aspiring autocrats like Donald Trump.

Donald Trump

For his part, Trump was only able to muster a typically infantile and deranged response that effectively validated the reasons that so many people were out protesting him in the first place. The AI video that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, proved that his ego is his greatest motivator, and that his craving for absolute power fully justified the massive public outcry against the madness of wannabe kings. It’s a video that accurately expresses just how much he hates the American people. If you have a strong stomach, you can…

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

Trump’s gross out video ought to have produced some measure of shame among his supporters and followers. However, we are living in times when the moral character of what’s left of the GOP that would have elicited shame has been discarded and replaced by a sort of perverse pride. Consequently, Trump’s MAGA-tists have actually sought to defend his vile vulgarity. Beginning with the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who had the following exchange with reporters…

Question: You say that the Democrats had a ‘Hate America Rally,’ but what does it say that the president of the United States over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people?
Johnson: The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person whose ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents. And that’s what these people are doing.

MAGA Mike Johnson won't condemn a video that Trump posted of him literally sh*tting on the American people. That's how big a kissass he is.What exactly does he think is the point Trump was making? How was it satire? It was just plain disgusting. And, sadly, typical of Trump.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-20T17:54:26.883Z

Not only did Johnson refuse to condemn the video, he praised Trump’s ability to nauseate people with social media. You have to be pretty deeply indoctrinated into the cult to find anything positive about Trump’s sick posting. There is nothing funny about bombing peaceful Americans with feces, just because they were exercising their constitutional rights. But Johnson was jsut getting started. We went on…

Johnson: Look, America is built on the idea of free speech you have the right to protest, of course, we jealously guard that. Chip [Roy] and I are attorneys. We defended that right in the courts. But what they’re doing right now is different. They’re trying to incite violence. That’s not funny. You don’t mock a president who has already had two failed assassination attempts on his life. This is not a game.

It’s impressive how Johnson can brag about his alleged support for free speech, as long as it isn’t used to mock Dear Leader Trump. That’s the same sort of conditional freedom that the Trumpists used get Jimmy Kimmel off the air, albeit briefly after they suffered a tidal wave of backlash.

Naturally, Trump weighed in himself on the No Kings rallies. And his remarks affirmed what everyone who has been paying attention already knows. Which is that Trump is the unchallenged, heavyweight champion, “HATE AMERICA” president! When asked about the No Kings rallies, he whined…

Trump: I think it’s a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. It’s looks like it was. We’re checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out.

Trump, who just posted a video of himself literally shitting on the American people, is saying that the #NoKings demonstrations that drew 7 million patriots "were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out."He is the "HATE AMERICA" president!

Of course! The rallies were very small. They only drew enough participants to rank as the biggest national protest event in American history. And those seven million people weren’t representative of the country because some of them had “brand new signs” that he said – without proof – were paid for by philanthropist and democracy advocate, George Soros. Which is obviously improper and evidence of something awful. Not to worry though. Trump is “checking it out,” and will surely get to the bottom of it in two weeks or so.

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

On October 18, 2025, the American people came out in record numbers to oppose the emerging authoritarian dictatorship of Donald Trump. It was the biggest nationwide protest in the history of the United States. And it affirmed the determination of the people to defend democracy and the constitutional principles upon which the country was founded.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

The “No Kings” rallies held in more than 2,700 communities throughout the nation were also a peaceful exhibition of free speech by patriots that Trump’s cult operatives (i.e. Karoline Leavitt and Mike Johnson) and MAGA media (i.e. Fox News and Newsmax) called terrorists, criminals, and members of the imaginary Antifa organization.

The day after the No Kings rallies, October 19, 2025, Trump sought to shovel his way out of the ditch he had dug himself into. So naturally he booked an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. They managed to avoid the subject of the massively successful protests the day before, and the GOP’s pathetic attempts to malign them.

Instead, Bartiromo asked Trump about his shutdown of the government that he is trying blame on Democrats. Bartiromo began by asking a surprisingly rational question question. Unfortunately, she didn’t get a remotely rational reply.

Bartiromo: You’re gonna have to compromise around something with healthcare subsidies to end this thing?
Trump: I don’t know. Here’s the problem. They wanna give $1.5 [trillion] … They have a deal. We have a deal. We just want an extension. And the reason we want an extension is because you can’t make a deal with these people. They’re lunatics. They’ve gone crazy. They’re crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome. There really is that disease. At first I found it to be amusing. Now I find that it really is.

Trump on the Democrats: "You can't make a deal with these people. They're lunatics. They've gone crazy. They're crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Ironically, the guy who pretends to have written a book titled “The Art of the Deal,” is incapable of actually making one. The extension he’s referring to is one that would allow healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans to expire, doubling or tripling their premiums. And the reason Trump gives for failing to reach a deal is that the Democrats are “lunatics.” Never mind that it is Trump who has refused to negotiate, and his minions in Congress who explicitly admitted that the shutdown is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.”

In the same interview, Trump embraced a never ending shutdown saying that “I think that they could just stay out forever.” And he salivated at the prospect of terminating programs that benefit poor Americans, saying that the shutdown “gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted…welfare programs, etc.” It doesn’t. At least no legally.

Trump is bragging that he is going to cut programs that help poor Americans. Which he can't do legally.He is happy to be hurting millions of low income Americans – including Republicans – and is admitting that it is Democrats who really care about the people.

Trump’s references to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” actually have a ring of truth to them. He surely does suffer from an acute mental illness that affects his ability to grasp reality. Particularly the reality of how unpopular he and his agenda are. A recent poll found that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

However, if you are looking for a demonstration of how Trump really feels about the American people, look no further than his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he posted this absolutely nauseating AI slop video of himself as a king (of course), flying a jet fighter, and bombing/defecating on citizens exercising their constitutional rights…

Herr Trump posted this AI video that accurately expresses how much he hates the American people and the principles this nation stands for.It is more evidence that he is deranged, infantile, and utterly unfit to serve. How can any patriot support this disgusting behavior?

Lara Trump Attacks the No Kings Movement By Quoting a Fake Trump Truth Social Post on Fox News

As millions of Americans hit the streets for the “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump and his authoritarian aspirations, the Trump regime’s propaganda mouthpieces are taking to the MAGA media to viciously malign these patriotic protesters.

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

The seething hostility of the pro-kings Republican Party has devolved entirely into a blatantly anti-American faction of fascists and frothing followers of the festering Trump cult. Their attempts at disparaging the democracy loving protesters has sunk to noxious lows wherein they repeatedly slander the No Kings events as “hate rallies” and baselessly accuse the peaceful participants of being terrorist sympathizers and criminals.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is contributing to the contemptuous caterwauling. Everyone from Sean Hannity to Jesse Watters to Laura Ingraham to the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends, are lashing out with snarling invectives. And among them is Fox News host, and Trump’s own daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who told her pals at Fox and Friends that…

“It should surprise absolutely nobody that the same group who doesn’t understand the meaning of fascism and also can’t define what a woman is, doesn’t understand what a king is…It feels like so many of these people don’t know what to do with themselves….So I guess their response is to get out in the streets and protest it. The best response I’ve seen thus far came from president Trump himself.”

Whereupon Lara read what she said were Daddy Trump’s own words responding to the first No Kings rally last June. Reading from her notes, Lara recited the following…

“A HUGE THANK YOU to all the ‘No Kings’ protesters yesterday! I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! Great job all!!!”

There’s just one little problem with that. Trump never posted that comment or said those words. It was a fake meme that circulated on Twitter after the June No Kings rallies that drew over five million people. But Lara is so stupid that she doesn’t know the real quotes of her pappy-in-law from the phonies.

However, Lara isn’t alone. Last June after the first No Kings rallies, Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, made the same mistake. During an interview with GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Bartiromo quoted the same fake Trump post as if were real. Maybe that’s where Lara got it from. After all, that’s where Donald gets all of his fake news from. And they all better start to pay attention to these No Kings events. Because they are drawing historic crowds, and…

Political science research has quantified that when a mere 3.5 percent of a nation’s population mobilizes in peaceful protest, it becomes nearly impossible for the government to ignore the people’s demands.”

On a lighter note, the Daily Show put together a montage of MAGA minions, including Donald Trump, expressing their disgust at anyone who would insult the American people as viciously as Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, did recently. Just because they were exercising their free speech rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Wow, Republicans are outraged at Karoline Leavitt calling half the country d?e?p?l?o?r?a?b?l?e?s? terrorists
