Trump Says ‘CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL’ and That ‘Literally Nobody is Watching’ – Except Him?

Posted by on August 29, 2026 at 1:33 pm. 0 Comments :

On any given day Donald Trump can reliably be found deeply engaged in important presidential activities on behalf of the American people. Those activities run the gamut from renaming lakes, to renovating pools and statues, to sucking up to foreign dictators, to winning tournaments at his own golf resorts.

Donald Trump, CNN

In addition to those chores, Trump is faithfully devoted to one of his most critical functions: Hate-watching television news programs. That may be his second favorite office obligation after casting blame for his mistakes on his fellow Republicans, or criticizing them for being less than sufficiently worshipful.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

On Saturday morning Trump posted an urgent message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, about what he has observed in the mediaspace that takes priority over resolving his reckless and illegal war in Iran, or the festering affordability crisis that he created but says is a hoax. He raged that…

“CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL, and so is MSNOW, the new name for MSDNC — Literally, nobody is watching either Network! The best person on CNN is Pollster Harry Enten, because he was willing to show that Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President — He’s got Credibility (Don’t fire him!). CNN can be turned around with new Leadership and Anchors (MSNOW cannot!), because a Great Brand can never truly be destroyed!”

First of all, it needs to be noted that Trump has been declaring that CNN and other media outlets have been dead or dying for years. It’s a long list that includes his Ministry of Propaganda Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, MS NOW, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and even late night comedy shows like Seth Meyers. But they are all still around and thriving. So either they have superhuman sustaining powers, or they are zombies.

Also, Trump’s claim that “Literally, nobody is watching,” tells us two things. One: That Trump has absolutely no idea what the television ratings landscape looks like today. And two: That Trump has no idea what what the word “literally” means. Because literally millions of people are watching CNN, MS NOW, and the other news networks.

Despite his open hostility, Trump went on to express his appreciation for CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, for being “willing” to present some positive information about Trump. Although Trump mischaracterized Enten’s reporting as showing that Trump is “six times more popular” than any other president. What Trump left out was that Enten’s report actually said that Trump’s popularity was limited only to Republicans. To the general population he remains deeply underwater, and lagging far behind President Obama.

What’s more, Enten has regularly featured polling that shows Trump’s approval is at record lows and is on a starkly downward path. And now Trump has established that he regards Enten as a “credible” reporter and pollster. So now everyone – including the MAGA cultists – can rely on his reporting about how broadly Trump is despised.

They should take a look at the following clips of Enten revealing the dismal prospects for Trump and his MAGA movement. Maybe it will finally sink in that they have been duped by a con man who is only in it for himself.

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’
ENTEN: “In the 2024 election he won [working class voters] by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…’Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don’t like you anymore.'”

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation
ENTEN: “Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been in on inflation. And more than that, these are the worst numbers I’ve ever seen for any president. […] Trump is 49 points underwater.”

Fox News Condemns Democrats For Not Condemning Hasan Piker as Clips Play of Them Condemning Him

Posted by on August 28, 2026 at 4:22 pm. 0 Comments :

The closer it gets to the midterm elections in November, the more desperation and derangement we are seeing from Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and their propaganda platform Fox News. They appear to recognize the depth of their troubles, but don’t have any idea how to fix them.

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

Fox News, Fake News

It would never occur to them that they should change their campaign strategy from harping on 1950s “red scare” communist rhetoric and parroting Trump’s pathetic trivialities like renaming Lake Ontario, to focus more on reducing the cost of living and ending the war in Iran. And from Trump’s perspective, the problem lies anywhere but with him.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

On Friday morning Fox News sought to cover a voting rights rally in Washington, D.C. that was also honoring the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington led by Martin Luther King. The rally featured notable advocates of civil liberties including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rev. Al Sharpton. But Fox’s coverage had a typically biased slant that highlighted their obsession with a fringe left-wing podcaster…

FOX NEWS: “One prominent voice on the far left is noticeably absent. We’ll talk to former RNC [Republican National Committee] chair Ronna McDaniel about Hasan Piker and his rhetoric forming a deepening Democratic rift into the open.”

First of all, Piker is not a Democrat. He’s not even a Democratic Socialist. He may have a voice as an Internet influencer/troll, but he doesn’t speak for the Democratic Party or its candidates or office holders. So the differences that he has with Democrats are not evidence of any “rift” within the Party.

What’s more, while some Democrats have progressive positions on some issues, they are positions that are broadly popular. They include Medicare for All, making the rich pay their fair share of taxes, standing up for Constitutional law and order, judicial reform, and a national security agenda that affirms our relations with our international allies without leading reckless and illegal wars.

Secondly, If Piker was “noticeably absent” from the D.C. rally it’s because he wasn’t invited. The assumption by Fox News and McDaniel that he should have been present is an invention of their own biases. This is a delusional viewpoint that is threaded throughout Fox’s coverage.

The day before this segment Fox News hosted right-wing hack, Hugh Hewitt, who made many of the same asinine assumptions about Piker. He even called for Democrats to renounce him. Which they have no obligation to do since he isn’t affiliated with them.

Between now and November, we can expect Fox News and the GOP to push more of this nonsense. But asking Democrats to renounce Piker, with whom they are unaffiliated, would be like asking Trump and the GOP to renounce the racist, violent, neo-fascist Proud Boys. Oh wait… They actually are Republicans and Trump supporters.

What is noticeably absent from Fox News is their acknowledgement that Democrats have already renounced Piker. Even though Fox actually included video of it in their own report. And candidates across the Democratic spectrum – from progressive Abdul El-Sayed in Minnesota to moderate David Jolly in Florida – have explicitly distanced themselves from Piker.

So maybe Fox News should tend to their own party’s problems before setting up lame red herring arguments to attack Democrats.

Fox News Tribute to Karoline Leavitt Shows How Proud They Are of Her Behaving Like B*tch

Posted by on August 27, 2026 at 3:48 pm. 0 Comments :

Today was the last day on the job for Donald Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She spent the last 20 months serving as the senior White House promulgator of lies and drooling exaltations of Dear Leader Trump.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

For most of her tenure as propaganda secretary, Leavitt appeared on Fox News (several times a week) disseminating prefab disinformation to the network’s gullible audience of MAGA cultists. From her first days in her spokesmodel role, Leavitt altered the relationship between the media and the White House. She made it her mission to replace credible journalists with brazenly pro-Trump podcasters and Internet trolls.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary Plans to Turn the WH Briefing Room Into a Pro-Trump Propaganda Mill

On Thursday morning Leavitt was once again on Fox News, this time for her exit interview. And to no one’s surprise, it was a biased segment that featured her anti-media raving and personal nastiness. In fact, those were the attributes of her tenure at the White House that Fox News was most proud of. They even produced a video montage of it that included such memorable gems as…

“You [CNN’s Kaitlan Collins] take every single thing this administration says and try to use it to make the president look bad.”
(Note: He doesn’t need any help for that).

“You [The Hill’s Niall Stanage] are a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist.”
(Note: Prior to Leavitt’s arrival all reporters in the White House Press Room were certified by the independent White House Correspondents Association).

“Of course the president supports peaceful protest. What a stupid question.”
(Note: Trump literally asked his Secretary of Defense Mark Esper if the military could shoot protesters in the legs).

“My first reaction when seeing former President Biden speaking tonight was ‘I’m shocked that he’s speaking at nighttime.’ I thought his bedtime was much earlier.”
(Note: Trump’s bedtime is even earlier, including during Cabinet meetings in the daytime).

“I gave a quote to one of the media outlets in this room yesterday that Democrats behaving like children would be the least surprising thing of the night.”
(Note: This is rich coming from the spokesperson for the biggest baby in White House history).

"Good times. Great memories." — Fox & Friends' tribute to Karoline Leavitt is just a supercut of her being a condescending jerk to reporters. Imagine being proud of acting like this.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-08-27T14:59:40.590Z

Following the montage, Leavitt responded saying that those were “Good times. Great memories.” Those were actually what both Leavitt and Fox News felt were the moments that they were most proud of. But then, what else could they present in their farewell tribute? It’s not like there were any moments in the past year and a half wherein she demonstrated any honor, honesty, or even maturity, to include in the montage.

To the contrary, Leavitt performed like a PR agent for a criminal fraudster and alleged pedophile who scammed his way into a position of power through deceit and threats. In other words, she was perfectly matched for employment by Trump.

Leavitt’s departure from the White House at this time, just prior to the critical midterm election, is suspicious. She’s claiming the old trope that she wants to spend more time with her family. But she just took a few months off on maternity leave, then came back to work. Shortly after she returned, it was alleged that Trump ditched her on a plane that he believed would be a target for a terrorist attack by Iran, while he snuck off to a different plane without telling those on the targeted plane about the danger they were in.

Leavitt made her resignation announcement two weeks ago. There has been no mention by Trump since then as to who might replace her. While some analysts believe that the job will go to a sycophant like Natalie Harp or Scott Jennings, others have suggested that Trump will name himself as his own press secretary. And I wouldn’t rule out Lara Trump, who is not only a member of his family, but also a Fox News host.

MORE HERE: HELP! WANTED? Who Will Trump Get To Lie For Him Now That Karoline Leavitt is Quitting?

After Leavitt has had her fill of family life, expect her to be hired by Fox News, just like Trump’s first term press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany. As for whoever fills Leavitt’s shoes at the White House, we can all rest assured that it will be someone for whom lying is not a moral problem, and who unwaveringly adores Trump. And those criteria make the case for Trump selecting himself. Who else lies more frequently and loves him more fervently?

Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

Posted by on August 26, 2026 at 2:56 pm. 1 Comments :

The Ego That Ate D.C., Donald Trump, is on the hunt again for prey that it can devour to sustain its Reign of Terror. It has an insatiable appetite that threatens to drive its potential victims into extinction. Which, in the big picture, would be a desirable outcome.

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

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Trump is suffering the lowest approval ratings of either of his occupations of the White House. Consequently, he is determined to shift any blame for that away from himself and onto the unfortunate MAGA parasites who depend on him for their political survival.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’

On Wednesday morning Trump took his presidential post on his pitiful Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to deflect his failures onto the Republican Party that he supposedly leads. He reposted a comment that complained that “I don’t think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are f*cking up right now.” There’s actually some truth to that, although not in the way it was meant. The post continued with a list of examples of what Trump believes are missteps by GOP that are responsible for his abysmal polling. They include…

  • No true accountability.
  • No meaningful decrease in the deficit.
  • Lots of very long vacations and no work.
  • No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives.
  • Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised?
  • Where is the SAVE ACT?

It’s true that Republicans have failed to fulfill the disingenuous promises that Trump made during his campaign. But the fault is as much with Trump as it is with the Republicans in Congress.

More importantly, the post left out the two issues that the majority of voters – including the MAGA-tists – are most upset about: Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran, and the war and tariff driven inflation that is burdening Americans with higher costs for groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, and more.

The comment that Trump reposted does express the dissatisfaction that Trump’s MAGA cult are feeling. But it mistakenly assumes that the GOP, and by extension Trump, doesn’t “fully grasp how badly they are f*cking up.” Of course they do. And Trump grasps it too. Which is why he’s shoveling the blame onto his party mates to absolve himself.

The real problem is that none of them have the slightest idea how to fix any of it. So the blame will be flying around in every direction between now and the November election. They have already tried blaming Presidents Biden and Obama, but that hasn’t stuck given that they have been out of office for years.

So it’s good to see that Trump is now conceding – at least for the time being – that it is his own party that is F*ing up. And some members of the GOP are reciprocating by refusing to campaign with Trump in the lead up to the midterm elections, because they know that any association with him would hurt their electoral prospects.

In November we will likely see Democrats win majorities in the House of Representatives, and possibly in the Senate as well. And in January the change in Congress will make Trump the lamest of ducks, and the subject of long-delayed oversight hearings and accountability. So if you think he’s whining now, you aint seen nothin’ yet.

BIG BABY TRUMP Threatens to Demolish the Kennedy Center If He Can’t Have His Name On It

Posted by on August 25, 2026 at 4:45 pm. 2 Comments :

Just when you thought that Donald Trump had descended to unimaginable depths in order to provide the most repulsive demonstrations of his egomaniacal narcissism, he goes the extra mile to show that for him there literally is no bottom.

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

Donald Trump

Earlier this year, Trump illegally added his name to the front of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It was an act of extraordinary conceit that was universally condemned. Shortly afterward, there was a lawsuit filed and Trump was ordered to remove his name. Which he did, but then hid the fact that it was removed from the front of the Center behind a giant tarp, which is still there.

SEE THIS: Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

Undeterred by the rebuke Trump received from the courts and the public, he is still pursuing his shameless quest for undeserved attention. At first he tried to take a sleazy path around the Court’s ruling by trying to add his name below Kennedy’s in an addendum saying that the Center was “Renovated and Restored by Donald J. Trump.” But now that that scheme didn’t seem to work, he is actually threatening to demolish the entire building if he doesn’t get his way. As reported by the New York Times…

“Lawyers for the Trump administration told a federal judge that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts desperately needs the major renovation ordered by President Trump and raised the specter that it would need to be ‘taken down’ if those plans are blocked. […] The suggestion was something of an aside in the Trump administration’s 21-page filing, which responded to an effort by a Democratic lawmaker to block the center from inscribing the president’s name on the building.”

That’s right. Trump is threatening to demolish the Center, that was built to memorialize a slain president, because he can’t put his name on it in violation of the law. There couldn’t possibly be a better example of how pitifully stunted Trump’s emotional growth is. Or of how grossly maladjusted and self-centered he is. Not that he hasn’t tried. He even illegally bulldozed the East Wing of the White House in order to replace it with his vanity ballroom.

Trump’s mission to destroy the Kennedy Center wasn’t limited to his vandalizing it with his name. He also fired the governing board of the Center, replaced them his own unqualified flunkies, and appointed himself chairman. The result of that was typical of his record of failure. The Times also noted that…

“[T]he closure plans may be a cover for the fact that since Mr. Trump’s takeover of the center, many audience members, artists and donors have fled an increasingly politicized institution. Citing internal financial projections at the center, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that ticket revenue and fund-raising had plummeted after the board voted to add Mr. Trump’s name to the center, setting it up to fall nearly $100 million short of its revenue target this fiscal year.”

This why the acronym ETTD exists (Everything Trump Touches Dies). And when he fails he to get his way he has to make sure that he kills off whatever he screwed up so that no one else can enjoy it. And worst of all, that’s what he’s doing to America.

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Threatens to ‘Blow Up the Global Financial System’ to Get Iran to Surrender

Posted by on August 24, 2026 at 4:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The fiasco in Iran is now in its sixth month. And despite relentless lying by Donald Trump about imaginary victories, the war drags on with no end in sight. The American people haven’t been fooled by Trump’s frequent declarations of victory and every recent poll reflects their disapproval.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Never mind that, according to Trump, Iran has no ability to fight back. He claims that their financial and military resources have been exhausted and/or destroyed by American bombs. Which isn’t really anything to brag about. Because it means that Trump still can’t defeat what he describes as a broke and defenseless foe.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags that He’s Losing to Iran, a Country He Says Has No Money, Navy, or Air Force

The latest act of desperation on Trump’s part has been to dispatch his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, to issue some new and typically impotent threats aimed at manufacturing a macho image of a wartime president. The problem with this new PR mission is that it has no substance whatsoever, and worse, it actually works against the Trump regime’s objectives.

Bessent called a press conference to announce a series of proposed sanctions on any country that aids Iran financially. He described his goal as the severing of “every economic lifeline that sustains this tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone.” He calls the mission “Operation Economic Outcast.”

Although Bessent’s presentation ignored the fact that the most potentially effective sanctions have already been in place for decades. and they haven’t been particularly effective. Which led to Bessent’s new proposals that he labeled an “Economic D-Day” that wouldn’t go into effect until January. The press wasn’t impressed, and one reporter asked a pertinent question to get some clarification.

Reporter: You described this as an Economic D-Day, but D-Day wasn’t a threat of an invasion, and the U.S. didn’t give a timeline to Germany. So why not impose the sanctions today?
Bessent: Well, we are giving everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior. Why would I want to blow up the global financial system? We believe that it is important to level set and give people a cure period, but they should know that that will move very quickly and that we are serious.”

Let’s break that down, shall we? First of all, Bessent is saying that he doesn’t “want to blow up the global financial system” just now. But that he’s happy to do it in January? So that’s something to look forward to. Furthermore, he thinks the countries that he’s threatening with sanctions need four months to “remedy bad behavior.” During which time the war continues at about $2 billion a day, and unknown numbers of casualties on both sides. and it remains active through the midterm elections.

When (if) sanctions are imposed, they would appear to apply to Iran’s active trading partners, such as China, Russia, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and more. However, neither Bessent nor Trump would identify the countries that might be subject to sanctions, or even reveal what the sanctions would be. And given Trump’s history of making threats that he never carries out – which has earned him the nickname TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) – it would foolish to assume that these sanctions will ever be imposed. And even if they are, Trump likely would exempt his buddies in China and Russia that are longtime supporters of Iran.

So what was the purpose of this press conference and the flaccid sanctions proposed in it? The only noticeable purpose was to present the Trump regime as pretending to be doing something affirmative with respect to the war against Iran. But in reality, it was such a feeble event that it merely reinforced the perception that they are doing nothing of any significance. And with the war continuing through the midterm elections, Trump and his MAG GOP are cementing their prospective losses.

Trump Brags that He’s Losing to Iran, a Country He Says Has No Money, Navy, or Air Force

Posted by on August 23, 2026 at 1:50 pm. 1 Comments :

As the war that Donald Trump is waging against Iran drags on into its sixth month, there remains no end in sight and no plan for a conclusion that justifies the expense in blood and money. Never mind that Trump had promised that the war wouldn’t last more than a few days, and that he has been declaring victory every other week since it began.

Trump baby with Iran map

This new quagmire in the Middle East was a reckless and illegal endeavor that Trump launched in order to distract the American people from his failures in office, and perhaps to draw attention away from his stubborn, guilt-ridden insistence on obstructing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In other words, it was an egomaniacal scheme to pacify his out-of-control malignant narcissism.

SEE THIS: The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

Those goals of Trump’s haven’t changed. And on Saturday he was asked to comment on the state of affairs of his Iranian misadventures. He responded to a reporter’s question saying that…

“We’re seeing what happens. They have no money. They have no navy. They have no air force. They’re not paying their soldiers. They’re not paying their police. They have 350% inflation. So we’re just gonna sort of see what happens. And we have total control, you know, of the border. We have total control, if you look at the blockade. We have total control ot that entire region having to do with the Strait of Hormuz.”

This is NOT comforting.Trump is admitting that he can't defeat Iran even though they have no money, no navy, and no air force. We're 6 months into what he said would be a 2 week war.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-08-22T16:35:17.140Z

There’s a lot wrong with that response. To begin with, it’s a pretty vague assessment of an ongoing war wherein all he can say is that we’ll “see what happens.” But more troubling is what appears to be his dismal summary of the situation. Trump brags that he has reduced Iran’s fighting capability to a shell of a military force. He has been saying that for months using hyperbolic language that he “obliterated” Iran’s ability to fight back.

The problem with that is that he’s still losing. No matter how many times he repeats that “We have total control” over the Hormuz Strait, it isn’t true. And his boasting about destrying Iran’s military just makes the fact that he is still losing all the more humiliating for him.

Under the circumstances, shouldn’t Trump have wrapped this up long ago? He is essentially conceding that he can’t even beat a country that has no money, no navy, and no air force. That’s a concession that is consistent with Trump’s record of failure for decades. And it’s one that Democrats should highlight at every opportunity.

Trump Begs His MAGA Cult to ‘Pretend That I’m on the Ballot’ – And Democrats Concur

Posted by on August 22, 2026 at 4:21 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s always obvious when Donald Trump is having a panic attack about matters that are beyond the control of his narcissistic malignancy. He typically lashes out frantically at his perceived political enemies, hurls infantile insults at the free press that he abhors, and beseeches his MAGA cult disciples to worship him harder.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

With the rapidly approaching midterm election bearing down on Trump and his MAGA confederates, he recognizes, but will never admit, that the prospects for a Republican victory are dim. Consequently, he is trying on new campaign themes almost every day. They range from rehashing the “red scare” of the 1950s, wherein he accuses all Democrats of being communists, to outright lying about how successfully he has restored the economy that he wrecked with tariffs and war and general ignorance.

SEE THIS: New Trump Campaign Slogan: The Economy is Doing Unbelievably From the Standpoint of Wall Street

On Friday Trump attended a rally in South Carolina in support of GOP Senate candidate Darline Graham, who he has endorsed. As usual, he spent most of his 90 minute harangue exalting himself. But in a surprising departure from his common conceit and ego-fluffing, Trump put his electoral anxiety on display. For instance, he implored his MAGA-tists to demonstrate their adoration by showing up to vote in November. Openly begging, Trump explained that…

“The problem that we have is, they say that Trump does great when he’s on the ballot, but when he’s not on the ballot, his people don’t come and they don’t vote for senators, congressmen and other Republicans. So what I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot.”

This request was likely fueled by the fact that, in recent Republican primaries, six of Trump’s endorsed candidates lost. Even Graham, the candidate he was there to promote, failed to get enough votes to avoid a runoff. Therefore, he is resorting to pleading for his peons to “pretend” that he’s on the ballot. Which is an admission that the Republicans he is pushing are too lame to get votes on their own.

Of course, it’s Trump’s widespread unpopularity that is likely the main reason for the GOP’s recent defeats. So if Republican candidates choose to tie themselves closer to Trump, it will probably do them more harm than good. Democrats, meanwhile, will eagerly welcome Republicans embracing their lame duck leader, who will lead them to more failures. And that’s not the only reason Democrats are supporting Trump’s recent remarks. He also told the rally crowd that…

“If we lose you’re going to lose your border, you’re going to lose your tax cuts, you’re going to lose everything that we’ve done, we’ve gotten the biggest tax cuts in history…I’m going to be impeached. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why.”

Let’s set aside Trump’s claims about what would be lost, because they are all lies. On the other hand, his “warning” that he would be impeached will resonate as an incentive to most Democrats, Independents, and even some disaffected Republicans. And if Trump needs some reminders of why so many Americans want him impeached, he can just rerefer to his illegal war against Iran, his illegal tariffs, his illegal acceptance of gifts (including a $400 million dollar jet), his illegal vandalizing of property in D.C., and his illegal enrichment of himself. And that’s the abridged list.

What’s more, the prospect of Trump’s impeachment will drive higher voter turnout by Americans who want to hasten the end of his reoccupation of the White House. And that’s an outcome that nobody will need to pretend to enjoy.

Trump Hypes a Phony ‘Census Bureau’ Report that He Says Proves He Won the 2020 Election

Posted by on August 21, 2026 at 4:00 pm. 1 Comments :

Apparently Donald Trump has concluded that the prospects for Republicans winning the midterm election in November is a lost cause. And according to the most recent polls, he’s right. So he’s giving up on that and pivoting to a different election that he also lost, but whose defeat he has been unable to accept.

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

Donald Trump

With Trump’s approval ratings in the toilet, and projections for Congress that show that Democrats are favored to win majorities in the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate as well, Trump is shifting his attention back to the 2020 presidential election that he lost to President Biden. It’s an obsession that has consumed Trump’s feeble consciousness for six years now. And he isn’t letting it go. In fact, he’s making it worse…

SEE THIS: REALLY? Trump’s Source for ‘Tremendous Evidence’ of Election Fraud is MyPillow Kook Mike Lindell?

In pursuit of his fantasy, Trump recently posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, an announcement of new “evidence” that he prevailed in 2020, and that the election was “rigged and stolen” from him. The post said that…

“”The Census Bureau has begun checking the Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records. On the first 128,000,000 Voters, the Census Bureau proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally! The Census Bureau is going to analyze the next 32,000,000 Voters, and this number will explode. I WON THE ELECTION! We must pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

There is nothing but lies in that comment. Beginning with Trump’s claim that it was a Census Bureau study that “proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally!” As reported by NPR, the Census Bureau had nothing to do with it. Instead, it was the product of a pro-Trump think tank whose methodology and conclusions are regarded as “questionable” by experts. According to NPR…

NPR: “Work on the analysis was not conducted by career civil servants at the Census Bureau, and the team behind it included individuals affiliated with the America First Policy Institute, a think tank started by officials from Trump’s first administration, according to a Census Bureau employee who NPR has agreed not to name because they fear retaliation at work.”

SURPRISE! Trump is lying about a "Census Bureau" report that he says "proves" widespread illegal voting by non-U.S. citizens.But it was actually produced by a pro-Trump think tank, and experts say it "is questionable in its methodology and conclusions."www.npr.org/2026/08/19/n…

Although the source of Trump’s data is entirely bogus, it was nice of them to concede that, even in their unreliable estimation, there was an insignificant amount of alleged non-citizen voting. 24,000 out of 128,000,000 comes to about 0.0187% of the total. So even if there were that many ineligible voters – and there is no evidence that there were – that’s not anywhere near enough to have any impact on the outcome of the election. It would likely represent only discrepancies by voters whose citizenship status wasn’t updated in the records, or routine computer errors.

The New York Times also published a story that affirmed the findings of NPR. Their story focused on data from Nevada, where officials with the Department of Homeland Security were unable to substantiate the ineligible voter claims.

“The administration claimed to have identified 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in four states, including an exact number of 15,903 in Nevada. But during a meeting last week with state election administrators, Homeland Security officials said they had identified just 185 potential noncitizens in the state so far, according to emails as well as recordings of the meeting obtained by The New York Times.”

Once again, that’s a tiny fraction [0.0665%] of the registered voter base in Nevada. And it refers to only “potential” non-citizen voters. So the actual total is likely even less.

This is typical of how Trump and his regime endeavors to perpetuate his lies. They exploit and misrepresent reliable data sources, but distort them with manufactured data to deceive their already ill-informed and gullible MAGA cult disciples. And while it may work on their tiny target audience, the vast majority of Americans are smarter than that. Which explains why Trump and the GOP are so desperately failing.

Finally, here is a concise summary of this situation by Amanda Carpenter of Protect Democracy:

Sean Hannity Unloads a Laughably Lame Defense of Nepo-Sister Darline Graham Nordone

Posted by on August 20, 2026 at 3:32 pm. 0 Comments :

The fight for majority control of the Senate is getting more intense with each passing day. And while the Democratic prospects are improving, Republicans are becoming more desperate and driven by panic. Recent projections show that a Democratic Senate majority is the more likely outcome in November.

Fox News Sean Hannity

These projections are driving Republicans crazy – or crazier. They are resorting to bizarre campaign themes that reanimate the “red scare” tactics of the 1950s when fear mongering about communists around every corner was popular with the GOP. And it gets even worse than that on Donald Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News is OUTRAGED that Democrats are So Good Looking – No, REALLY!

Wednesday night’s episode of Sean Hannity’s program featured a segment wherein Hannity brought in the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate in South Carolina, Darline Graham Nordone, sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. She was fresh off of a humiliating debate performance with her Republican primary opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, where she was asked a straightforward question about U.S. policy toward Taiwan and babbled that…

“I’m not that informed on national security…so…but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. I’m not a polished politician up here. National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise.”

Okay then. National security isn’t her thing. It isn’t Trump’s thing either, and look at how well that’s turned out. But her problem isn’t that she’s unpolished. It’s that she’s uninformed. And the fact that her family has served in the military doesn’t mean that she has absorbed their knowledge telepathically. Despite what Hannity thinks…

Hannity: I bet based on all your time with your brother, that you know probably everything about the Middle East because he went on one trip after another to every country in the Middle East. And I know you know a lot about Europe and the Ukraine-Russia situation because he went to Ukraine more than any other senator. […]
Graham Nordone: Absolutely. I know national security is important. We have a wonderful commander in chief.

SERIOUSLY? Graham Nordone agrees “absolutely” with Hannity that she knows “everything about the Middle East” and Europe and Ukraine, because her brother had been there. That’s a pretty low bar. And judging by her remarks, she doesn’t even get over that.

Graham Nordone addressed a few other other subjects during this interview. For instance, she said that she’s concerned about what voters in South Carolina are concerned about, and that “They’re concerned about boys in girls’ sports.” Yeah, that’s probably number one on their priority list. Never mind the war in Iran, or how they are struggling to pay for groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, etc.

She also said that she wants to serve the 50 million people in South Carolina, where there are actually only 5.4 million people. And she opposes DEI, despite being an appointed sister of a senator, who has zero relevant knowledge or experience. And she supports Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). Even though, if it were passed, she wouldn’t be allowed to vote without jumping through some legal hoops because her legal married name doesn’t match the name on her birth certificate.

There is a runoff for the Republican nomination for this seat next week, where she is facing Rep. Norman. If she makes it past that, she will face the Democratic nominee, Dr. Annie Andrews, a truly impressive and qualified candidate who deserves your support. Although she doesn’t appear to have any siblings from whom she could magically divine knowledge. So Hannity and his ilk might consider that a drawback.
