In recent weeks Donald Trump has been sinking ever farther into the quicksand of his inbred criminality. The Department of Justice is investigating his theft of highly sensitive national security materials and hoarding them at his Mar-a-Lago bunker. A federal grand jury is probing his phony “Save America” PAC. A Georgia prosecutor is close to indicting him for election interference. And these don’t even include his real estate and tax fraud matters.

As the shroud of corruption envelopes him, some of Trump’s associates and accomplices may be getting antsy about continuing to stand behind him for fear they won’t see the oncoming bus. They have been testing the waters to see if they can safely distance themselves from what is becoming increasingly obvious is a crumbling foundation of flagrant felonies. And among the nervous nellies are some of the folks at Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.
On Friday the Fox News website published an article that was mostly a re-post of an in-depth analysis of the Republican Party’s descent into Trumpian madness. The NY Times article profiled a handful of GOP House candidates who have consumed copious quantities of Trump’s Kool-Aid. And the conclusion was that these Ultra-MAGA extremists threatened to “plunge the U.S. and the world into ‘chaos.'” Fox’s re-post of the article said that…
“In his report, published Thursday, [New York Times congressional correspondent Jonathan] Weisman claimed that the potential influx of new GOP lawmakers that have ‘fringe positions’ and who have ‘espoused conspiracy theories’ could hamper the government in its ability to do everyday tasks. The piece went so far as to say that these future right-wing politicians could plunge the country and the world at large into ‘chaos.'”
And that…
“It could also mean that the government will struggle to perform such mundane tasks as keeping itself from defaulting on its debt and plunging the global financial system into chaos.” […] “At the same time, a Republican-led stream of impeachments, as some lawmakers have promised for the attorney general, the homeland security secretary, the education secretary and the president, could serve as an endless string of distractions for the executive branch.”
Indeed, a Republican majority in the House would implement a preposterous agenda that consisted mainly of exacting revenge on the Democrats who they believe offended Dear Leader Trump. And we know this not by speculation, but by the public promises of Republicans hoping to gain majority control, such as Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has already filed articles of impeachment against President Biden.
Republicans have also promised committee hearings into long ago debunked non-scandals involving Hillary Clinton, Merrick Garland, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Hunter Biden, and more. Trump has even said that he wants the FBI to search Joe Biden’s house – aka the White House – for evidence of some unidentified, and surely imaginary, crime.
It is on the basis of these promises that Republicans are asking Americans to vote for them in November. Forget about the sort of productive accomplishments that Democrats have achieved in the past two years – Infrastructure bill, American Rescue Act, Gun safety, healthcare, tax reform, climate change, etc. – Republicans are offering pure, unfiltered vengeance.
That’s what the GOP is promising the American people. It’s a platform of political payback on behalf of a wannabe authoritarian tyrant. And it’s what the Republicans swear they will devote their time to if given the opportunity. At least when they aren’t cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and eliminating Social Security and Medicare.
What’s more, that’s what Trump thinks is a winning campaign strategy. However, based on this NY Times article that Fox re-posted, you have to wonder: Does Fox News think so?

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
Mark N C your article is spot on, and i totally agree with all of it. I just wish your article could be broadcast on ALL major news networks across all 50 states. Every citizen in the Nation should know this. Millions are going to die and many more millions of people will literally starve to death.. I would love to see this article published in every newspaper in the world. I am old and i don’t know if i will still be alive in the year 2025, i really do not want to be alive if these deranged, incompetent, hateful, criminals are attempting to run our Nation. I could only hope when things are just starting to go really bad that Nations such as, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway and many other smaller democracies would step in and try to stop this insanity. This is looking more and more like the 2 hour documentary about Adolf Hitler’s rise and fall from the 1920’s to the 1940’s. The horrific site of all of the dead, starved, bodies that were murdered because of Hitler’s demand was about more than i could stand to look at, and to think, this could happen right here in the USA if these violent criminals in the GQP blatantly cheat and declare themselves winners against the will of the majority of citizens here in the bad old USA as it will become. We are facing a horrible situation if these insane monsters take control. We are going to face much death and destruction if they take control……….i only hope that some of the idiot voters that vote Rethuglican wise up and vote Democrat…
I agree with you. I am older now and might not be around for the total destruction of this country. But it is not only about me, it is about the young people of this country and their future. The fascist Republicans and that monster Trump want to destroy our democracy and turn it into an authoritarian nightmare. The irony in all of this is the the MAGA morons of Trump’s cult don’t even realize that he does not give a rat’s ass about them. They are just useful idiots for him. He would dump them like a bad habit is he thought it would help him. In a post Constitutional America, they would be the first to go.
You said it all when you pinned that ”useful idiots” on those mentally deficient MAGA’t morons. They are ignorant beyond belief. They will find out the hard way if the fascists take control. They will cry like babies about the carnage that will take place here and wonder why this happened, and wonder why TUMP has betrayed them. They are pathetic losers is what they are.
