The Debate Over the Debate: Trump’s Own Handlers Are the Ones Pushing for Him to Be Muted

Posted by on August 26, 2024 at 1:55 pm. NO Comments :

Donald Trump has very carefully manufactured his public persona as strongman populist beholden to no one due to his alleged wealth. Never mind that he repeatedly exhibits his profound fear of everything from the media to his political foes, and that he has to constantly beg for money, from his billionaire benefactors and his hillbilly cult followers, to pay off his massive legal bills and civil judgments.

Donald Trump Chicken

Among the most cowardly acts by Trump are his efforts to dodge debates. He refused to participate in a single Republican primary debate in 2024. And now that he is facing Vice-President Kamala Harris in the general election, the convicted felon is trying to slink toward the exit in order to avoid a face-off with the former prosecutor. He is not only afraid of debating Harris, he wants to prohibit her from running for president at all.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Seeks to Cancel Kamala Harris asking: ‘What Gives Her the Right to Run?’

The one debate that was previously agreed to by both parties is now up in the air. The first sign of trouble was when Trump posted a comment to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, wherein he hurled his typically infantile insults at the hosting network (ABC), and its personal (“lightweight Jonathan Karl” and “Liddle’ George Slopadopolus”). Then he suggested that he was contemplating backing out, asking “Why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?”

Following Trump’s chicken-hearted harangue, both the Harris and Trump campaigns issued dueling press releases that appeared to be focused on whether or not the mics would be live throughout the debate. Harris wants hot mics to showcase Trump’s notorious hotheadedness. Trump flinched.

Or more likely, Trump’s staff recognizes the risks of letting him loose without parental supervision. So they are fighting furiously to persuade him to only accept a debate with conditions that mask his gross indecencies. What follows are the relevant excerpts from each that require no commentary…

Harris Campaign: “We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the full broadcast, Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.”
Trump Campaign: “Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate. […] My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump.” (Source: Politico)

Harris Campaign: “Trump should honor his commitment to debate VP Harris on ABC on Sept 10 and he should reject his handlers’ attempts to muzzle him via a muted microphone The VP is ready to debate Trump live and uncensored. Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button.”
Trump Campaign: “We agreed to the same rules. The same rules and the same specifications, and I think that is what it probably should be.” (Source: Deadline)

Clearly the Harris camp is confidant that she will present herself in a manner that attests to her intellect, dignity, and compassion. The Trump camp cannot say the same. He is obviously nervous about whether he can refrain from embarrassing himself with ignorant and/or hostile outbursts. So he needs to rely on his handlers to shield him from his own incivility and immaturity.

The problem with Trump’s strategy is that, even if the mics are muted when the other candidate is speaking, he will still have a live mic when it’s his turn to speak. And there will be more than ample time for him to humiliate himself. Knowing that, there is a growing likelihood that Trump might just refuse to show up. And while that may affirm his reputation as a coward, it would at least allow him to avoid making matters worse by also affirming his unfitness to serve.

Nepo-Baby Lara Trump Proves Just How Valuable She is as RNC Chair – For Democrats!

Posted by on August 25, 2024 at 1:46 pm. 1 Comments :

The insulated bubble within which Donald Trump and his MAGA minions reside is a sterile world that has been thoroughly cleansed of all remnants of reason and critical thought. The only perspectives permitted are those that are aligned with Trump’s pre-chewed, ego-fluffing delusions and self-serving distortions of reality.

Fox News, Lara Trump

The obsession that Trump has for imposing stiff mandates on approved rhetoric and viewpoints was evident during his occupation of the White House when he placed devoted sycophants and members of his family (Ivanka and Jared Kushner) into the most prominent advisory roles. And it continues to be his modus operandi as he aspires to acquire an even greater abuse of power.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Seeks to Cancel Kamala Harris asking: ‘What Gives Her the Right to Run?’

When Trump made his daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), he obviously wasn’t looking for experience or ability. Because Lara had none of either. Her most notable achievements were ripping off a charity, butchering a Tom Petty song, and alienating Republicans not named Trump.

On Sunday morning Lara visited with Fox News Senior Trump Flunky, Maria Bartiromo, to discuss the game-changing endorsement of Trump by conspiracy crackpot and brain-worm host, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In the process Lara demonstrated her deft …er, make that daft… skills at electoral camapign strategies. Bartiromo asked Lara “How important was the RFK, Jr support?” A simple question that should pose no problem for a seasoned party leader. But this Lara Trump’s reply…

I think it’s huge. And I think the Democrats are very upset about that and that’s great. And I actually think he did a great thing when he came out and said not just ‘I’m endorsing Donald Trump, but here’s why. Because Democrats are a threat to our country. I cannot associate with a party that has been in my family, and is integral to my family and who we are for my entire life.’ And I thought it amazing to see him come out, I think you’re gonna see with any swing states where he has taken himself off the ballot, that the percentage bump that I believe it will give Donald Trump is going to be huge. And I think you’ll see that in the next round of polling.

Let’s begin with Lara’s contention that RFK, Jr’s endorsement will be “huge.” There is no data whatsoever that supports that theory. He is presently drawing a pitiful 5% in recent polls, and those are not necessarily voters are are transferable to Trump. Whatever shifts in his voters probably already took place in the weeks since Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate, and those that remain in his camp will likely be non-voters in November.

As for Lara’s notion that “Democrats are very upset,” she appears to have pulled that straight out of her asinine impression that she has the slightest idea what Democrats are feeling. She might want to check with how Kamala Harris reacted to RFK, Jr approaching her campaign prior to selling out to Trump…

Lara followed that up with a quote that she attributed to RFK, Jr. that he “cannot associate with” the Democratic Party that has been “integral” to his family. However, the rest of his family is vehemently opposed to his endorsement – and to Trump. They made a point of saying so publicly…

“”We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride. We believe in Harris and Walz,” the statement continued. “Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.”

Lara went on to claim that her Sugardaddy-in-Law would get a huge percentage bump with this endorsement. Which Trump would likely dispute. After all, he believes that he alone holds the greatness to inspire the gazillions of disciples who adore him. Everyone else is just running on his fumes. Although, she allowed a bit of light to filter through when she conceded that “the next round of polling” would be more favorable to Trump. That’s unlikely, but she is, in effect, admitting that the current round of polling sucks for him.

What’s more, why should Trump get any bump from a candidate that he himself called “a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden”?

By putting Lara Trump in charge of the GOP, Papa Trump did a big favor – for Democrats. She is proving to be as incompetent, dishonest, and disreputable as most other members of Trump’s immediate family. And her contributions to Trump’s candidacy will be remembered and appreciated by Kamala Harris and other Democrats for at least the next four years.

Wannabe Dictator Trump Seeks to Cancel Kamala Harris asking: ‘What Gives Her the Right to Run?’

Posted by on August 24, 2024 at 1:17 pm. 1 Comments :

Kamala Harris has only been a candidate for president for about a month. But in that brief span of time it is abundantly clear that she has rattle Donald Trump even farther off his hinges than he has been for the past few decades.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Among the things that are triggering Trump tantrums are Harris’ surging poll numbers, her massive and enthusiastic crowds, her intelligence and good judgment, and her ability to set the agenda, ignoring Trump’s insults and efforts to bait her into the sort of whiny, kindergarten scuffles that he’s most comfortable with. All of which drives him to seek the security of his safe place at Fox News to unburden himself.

SEE THIS: BONKERS TRUMP Calls Fox News to Whine and Lie Following the Kamala Harris Convention Speech

In addition to Fox News, Trump shelters in his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, to lash out unchallenged at Harris. He relentlessly posts dishonest and derogatory comments for the few glassy-eyed cult disciples that are still hanging around. For example, here is one that Trump posted Friday night…

“Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime. She’s allowed millions of people to pour through our Borders, many from prisons, mental institutions and, indeed, terrorists, coming in at levels never seen before. What gives her the right to run for President? She got no votes to Biden’s 14 Million. She failed in her previous attempt, was the first one out of 22 people to quit, never made it to Iowa, and now she’s a Presidential Candidate? This is a Threat to Democracy!”

Needless to say, that rant is littered with lies. The popularity of Harris as Vice-President is evident in the response to her candidacy for president. She has presided over years of declining crime rates. She has taken the lead in most polls and raised a record half a billion dollars in only one month.

Furthermore, no one but Trump’s most brainwashed believers buy his ludicrous allegations that Harris “allowed millions” of criminals, crazies, and terrorists, into the country. In fact, illegal immigration is at lower levels now than at any time during the Trump administration. And Trump’s incessant whining about Biden having passed the torch to Harris as being some sort of “Threat to Democracy” is Olympic-grade crackpottery. The 14 million votes received during the Democratic primaries were for Biden AND Harris.

However, the most preposterous, and troubling, part of Trump’s tirade is his where he asks “What gives her the right to run for President?” That is a flashing red light alarm signaling Trump’s craving for authoritarian powers to suppress and/or control democracy. He truly believes that he has the right to determine who is allowed to seek political office and, if they don’t pass his tests, he can bar from them running.

Trump pulled the same sort of power grab when he said that President Biden shouldn’t be allowed to run due to Trump’s biased assessment of his cognitive ability. Likewise, his efforts to disqualify Barack Obama by charging falsely that he wasn’t a citizen were similar attempts at anti-democratic treachery.

So the answer to the question “What gives Harris the right to run for President?” is “The Constitution!” Which Trump can be forgiven for not knowing since he probably has never read it, understood it, or believed in it.

Make no mistake, if Trump were to reoccupy the White House, he would implement the tyrannical tactics that he is overtly describing here. Much of it is already plotted out in his Project 2025 agenda. And the American people – Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc. – need to take this into consideration when they vote in November. The choice is between Kamala Harris or tyranny.

BONKERS TRUMP Calls Fox News to Whine and Lie Following the Kamala Harris Convention Speech

Posted by on August 23, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 2 Comments :

The Democratic National Convention of 2024 has wrapped and it is destined to reside in history for a multitude of reasons. Not the least of which is that it certified the nomination of Kamala Harris, who is likely to become the first woman President of the United States. The four day celebration was well received by a nation that is ready to move forward.

Click here to Tweet this article

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

The convention was an affair that presented the stark differences between Harris – an experienced, qualified candidate, with integrity and passion, who resonates joy and the pride of patriotism, and Donald Trump – a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who is consumed by hatred, vengeance, and a dark vision of America. And the lower Trump sinks in the polls, the darker his vision becomes.

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

The final day of the convention featured Harris’ nomination acceptance speech (here it is in full). It was a critical moment for her campaign, and she rose to the occasion. She provided a heartwarming biography, a resume of experience and achievements, the case against Trump, and inspiration for the path forward. All in a succinctly written and sincerely delivered package.

Meanwhile, Trump was seething in his jammies at his Mar-a-Lago bunker and live-trolling the speech on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, for the tiny and shrinking audience of cult disciples who actually use the website. Here is a representative sampling of his keen commentary…

At the conclusion of Harris’ speech, Fox News dispensed with reporting on anything newsworthy that might have occurred. Instead, hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum immediately turned to a special guest for some “insightful” analysis. That guest was – you guessed it – Donald Trump. He was phoning in to the network from his Palm Beach hotel/home for a knee-jerk repudiation of whatever Harris had to say. And it was ten minutes of spittle-inflected lunacy and unbridled fear (video below). What follows are some choice excerpts. He began by asking a typically ridiculous question…

“Why didn’t she do the things that she’s complaining about? All of these things that she talked about? ‘We are gonna to do this. We’re gonna do that. We’re gonna do everything.’ But she didn’t do any of it. She could have done it three and a half years ago.”

So Trump thinks that Harris, as Vice-President, ought to have accomplished everything that she is currently advocating. He can’t comprehend that she might have new proposals or that prior initiatives were incomplete due to obstruction from Republicans. He also doesn’t realize that the same question could be asked of him. He had four years to do everything he’s talking about now, but failed to do. And he was actually the president. Also, Trump is intent on framing Harris as “complaining.” Which he’s likely upset about because that’s his thing. How dare she?

“It was a lot of complaining. […] She didn’t talk about how 70% of our people are living in property (sic: he presumably meant poverty). […] She didn’t talk about child trafficking that she allowed to happen because she was the border czar.”

Perhaps the reason that Harris didn’t talk about the “70% of our people are living in poverty,” is that that is a preposterous falsehood. The poverty rate is currently less than 12%. Also, Trump must have fallen asleep when Harris actually did talk about child trafficking. And she was never the “border czar.” That’s a tired right-wing fallacy.

In this part of his rant Trump also lied that Harris didn’t talk about several other issues (Russia, China, Ukraine, economy, housing, etc.), all of which she talked about. He also claimed that she didn’t talk about interest rates that he said “are getting now close to record rates.” Interest rates are currently about 5.5%. The record is about 20%.

MacCallum then asked about Harris’ proposed middle-class tax cuts and Trump’s plans that will cost Americans $3,900.00 more per year. And she incorrectly states that that number came from Trump’s Project 2025. To which Trump replied…

“Well she knows I have nothing to do with Project 25 (sic). They throw out – a group of people got together – they did this thing, I haven’t even seen it, I don’t want to see it, I told them specifically, I don’t want to see it.”

First of all, the amount of the Trump taxes didn’t come from Project 2025. They came from Trump’s proposal to put tariffs on virtually every imported product. And as for his ignorance of Project 2025, the facts are that its principals are largely Trump associates who have worked in his White House and campaigns. Which doesn’t necessarily mean that he isn’t ignorant anyway, knowing Trump.

Baier then asked Trump about his efforts to kill the bipartisan Senate immigration bill, and whether he was ready to debate Kamala Harris on that. He went immediately to a narrower reply about debating, saying that he was “willing to debate on September 4th on Fox.” Which was never agreed to by Harris.

After rambling incoherently about that, Baier reminded Trump about the immigration question.

“On the immigration it’s very simple. The bill was horrible. It would have allowed millions of people to pour into our country. Would have been horrible. It was a horrible bill.”

That’s about as detailed as Trump can get on anything. He has no knowledge of any issue. What’s more, it is flagrantly false. The immigration bill’s primary author was conservative Republican Sen. James Lankford. And it included most of the GOP’s long sought border initiatives.

MacCallum asked Trump about polls showing the “huge appeal and momentum” that Harris has had, and her success with women, Hispanics, Blacks, and youth. Which drove Trump into a delusional tizzy…

“No, she’s not having success. I’m having success. I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters. I’m doing great with Black men. I’m doing great with women because women want safety. They want safety. And they don’t have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country. Many of them very dangerous people.

“No, it’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha. We’re doing very well in the polls. We’re leading in most of the polls. And in the swing states we’re leading in almost every one of them.”

Wow! Trump’s malignant narcissism is really peaking. He is clinging desperately to fantasies that everyone adores him. And if he actually believes what he’s saying about leading in the polls, he is truly a candidate for involuntary institutionalization. In the RealClear Politics poll of polls, Harris is leading in 7 out 10 of the ten most recent surveys. And two of those where Trump is ahead are by the disreputable Rasmussen.

Look for Trump to get even more deranged as his electoral prospects continue to decline. And watch for that to be aired as it happens on Fox News. In recent weeks he has gone from calling Harris “Laffin’ Kamala,” to “Comrade Kamala.” in this phone-in to Fox News he raged “Look, she’s a Marxist. She always was. She always will be.” It won’t be long now before he accuses her of being Lizard Person who is controlled by Hannibal Lector.

Fox News Sort of Fact Checks Trump’s Lie that Kamala Harris Met Putin Before He Invaded Ukraine

Posted by on August 22, 2024 at 12:49 pm. 1 Comments :

for the past several weeks, Donald Trump has virtually abandoned his campaign to avoid prison …er… his campaign for president. He has scaled down his public appearances, limiting the number of attendees to a few hard core cult disciples and members of the MAGA media. His television interviews have been conducted mainly by phone.

Click here to Tweet this article

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Either Trump is afraid to go out in public after his “ear death” experience in July. Or he is just too old and physically debilitated to keep up a normal campaign schedule. So now he just does these interviews in his pajamas at his Palm Beach hotel/home. His retreat into his Mar-a-Lago bunker may also be due to his suffering from depression as a result of having fallen behind Kamala Harris in most polls since the torch was passed to her by President Biden.

SEE THIS: Polls Show Trump Losing to Kamala Harris Now, So He’s Calling them ‘Fake’ and ‘Dishonest’

On Thursday morning Trump called in to Fox News for another tele-fluffing by the “Curvy Couch” potatoes at Fox and Friends. These segments are usually nothing more than free advertising and in-kind campaign contributions that Fox should be required to report to the Federal Election Commission. And this one was no exception, except for one small portion wherein Fox’s Brian Kilmeade went rogue with something that Fox News never does: A Fact Check.

Trump: Biden sent ‘Comrade’ Kamala to see Putin in Russia three days before the attack. She went, she said, she gave her case. He attacked three days later. He attacked three days later. He laughed at her. He thought she was a joke.
Kilmeade: Just as a quick clarification, we don’t have confirmation that the Vice-President went to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. I know that she went over to Europe right before the incursion when Russia invaded Ukraine. And it’s a war that’s still going on right now.
Ainsley Earhardt: I’ve heard that said a lot. You don’t have confirmation that that’s true?
Kilmeade: No I don’t know if the Vice-President ever met Vladimir Putin.

For the record, Harris has indeed never met with Putin. Trump is manufacturing that meeting from thin air. Kilmeade is correct that Harris went to Europe prior to Russia invading Ukraine. She went to a security conference in Munich where she met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, among other world leaders.

While it is commendable – and for Fox News a bit shocking – that Kilmeade offered any “clarification” at all, it is notable that he didn’t do it while Trump was still on the line and able to be pressed for a response. Not that Trump would have conceded that he was lying. He would likely have just whined that it was fake news, insulted Kilmeade, and hung up.

It is also notable that Earhardt tried to give Trump’s lie some credibility by saying that she has “heard that said a lot.” It would be interesting to find out from where she allegedly heard it. There are no accounts of any meetings between Harris and Putin, even on right-wing news sites. Perhaps she heard it from – you know – Trump. Because he told the very same lie on Wednesday in his speech in North Carolina…

“Remember when Joe Biden sent Kamala to Europe to stop the war in Ukraine? She met with Putin and then three days later, he attacked. How did she do? Do you think she did a good job? She met with Putin to tell him, ‘Don’t do it.’ And three days later, he attacked. That’s when the attack started.”

Actually, Harris did a very good job. Her job at the Munich conference was to solidify the alliance among our European allies in opposition to Russia’s anticipated aggression. To Harris’ credit, that alliance remains strong to this day. It is Trump who continues to take Putin’s side in the war.

Trump’s pathological dishonesty exceeds the boundaries of conventional liars. He doesn’t merely twist facts to fit his narrative. He composes fantastical fictions that bear no resemblance whatsoever to reality. And while Fox News tip-toed into a fact check on this occasion, they did it with absurd caveats and without confronting Trump. But then, does anyone expect anything more from either of them?

Fox News is Promising to Finally ‘Get the Truth About Obama’s Birth Certificate’ – No, REALLY!

Posted by on August 21, 2024 at 1:39 pm. 4 Comments :

LOOKOUT DEMOCRATS! Fox News is on to you and they are ready to blow the lid off of your damnable schemes and deceptions. They aren’t playing around this time. And their investigation is digging deep into the heart of the leftist cabal that has been covertly managed by the master manipulator, Barack Hussein Obama.

Click here to Tweet this article

Jesse Watters, Fox News

That’s right. The veil is being removed. The curtain is being pulled back. The secrets that have been hidden away in dusty cellars are about to be revealed by the one man at Fox News who has seen through the cons and conspiracies, Jesse Watters. Only he can expose the plots orchestrated by the Obama machine. Just like he did with the election of 2020 that Trump continues to insist was “rigged and stolen.”

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

On Tuesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Five,” Watters revealed that he had become suspicious of weird “vibes” going on. And who would know better? But he wasn’t gonna sit still for it. He knew there was something fishy in the works, and he knew who was behind it. He told his confederates on the program, and any rubes who happened to be watching, that…

“There is a weird vibe going on. I can’t figure it out. But I will tell you this. Barack Obama is still the godfather of this machine. He gave us Joe Biden as VP. He gave us Hillary [Clinton] as Secretary of State. Then he ‘coup’ed’ Joe, put all his ‘boys’ with Kamala’s team, and had his wingman Holder vet Walz.

“Now he’s at a young 63. He’s gonna be doing this for the next 25 years. He’s definitely gonna interfere in this election. That’s why we will be sending Johnny to Hawaii to get the truth about the birth certificate. This time we will dig deep and find out what really happened.”

HOLY SHIH TZU! It has been Obama all along. Watters remains convinced that Obama was born in Kenya and he grew up to engineer a takeover of America. And just because all of that is patently insane – and has been debunked a thousand times – Watters isn’t going to be deterred.

If this tells us anything about Fox News, and the MAGA malarkey they disseminate, it’s that they have absolutely no rational arguments with which criticize Democrats. So they are clinging desperately to ancient absurdities like the ludicrous “birther” hoax and nonexistent election fraud. That’s in between complaining about Democrats eating ice cream, wearing tan suits, hugging their families, or just generally being joyful. Something that is apparently anathema to Republicans.

In the process, Watters and his ilk manufacture myths about evil masterminds like Obama pulling all the strings behind closed doors. And if that isn’t bad enough, Watters frames the imaginary racket in blatantly racist terms as being run by Obama’s “boys,” who, along with his Black accomplices, Kamala Harris and Eric Holder, staged a “coup” against the White president, Joe Biden, who voluntarily stepped aside and endorsed his VP.

Now, in Watters’ warped mind, anything that anyone does to advance the Harris campaign, he will characterize as election interference. Which Trump also does. But that won’t apply to his own mission to dispatch “Johnny” to Hawaii to probe the asinine birther allegations. Nor to Trump’s firehose of insults and lies that he disgorges an a daily (hourly) basis. When it comes right down to it, the whole thing is just WEIRD!

Crybaby Trump Runs Whining to Sean Hannity When Kamala Harris Passes on Biased Fox News Debate

Posted by on August 20, 2024 at 2:54 pm. NO Comments :

The debate about debates continues to rage as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remain divided as to where, when, and how many face offs they will share. Harris has agreed to the only confirmed debate that was previously scheduled for September 10 on ABC. Trump says he wants more, but he keeps hinting that he might not even show up for this one. He recently told Laura Ingraham on Fox News that “I’ll probably end up debating…but I can also make a case for not doing it.”

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

The Harris campaign has been firing on all cylinders. Ever since she took the baton from President Biden she has enjoyed surging popularity and poll numbers. She has raised record amounts of money. She has united the Democratic Party, as well as many independents and Republicans, in support of her candidacy. Meanwhile, Trump has managed to dig himself into ever deeper trenches just by opening his mouth.

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

Ordinarily, a candidate that is ahead is less likely to rely on debates to boost their electoral prospects. It’s the losers who seek more bouts in the hopes of gaining some ground. In Trump’s case, he is not only trying to goad Harris into more debates, but to steer her into enemy territory. He is pushing for another debate to be held on Fox News. Yes, the same Fox News that is serving as Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, and that is relentlessly maligning Harris and other Democrats.

MORE HERE: Fox News is Officially an Arm of Chinese State Media, Regurgitating its Attacks on Kamala Harris

On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social (which itself is losing its own battle to stay alive), Trump posted a comment saying in part that…

“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th. […] Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox.”

To be clear, there was never any agreement to do a debate on Fox News on September 4th, or at any other time. It would be surprising if Harris accepted an offer from the network that is working so hard on defaming her and sabotaging her campaign. That doesn’t mean that she will never agree to it. There could be some benefit by defeating Trump on his own partisan turf. But Harris should demand certain concessions. Such as not having a studio audience, muting the mic of the candidate when it isn’t their turn to speak, and selecting moderators who aren’t blatantly pro-Trump (Arthel Neville, a black woman, comes to mind).

If Trump were paying attention, he would know that Harris has made her conditions regarding adding more debates known. She has said publicly that…

“I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on September 10. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope he shows up.” [As for other debates she said that] “I’m happy to have that conversation about an additional debate for after September 10.”

So Trump already knows that his proposal of a Fox News debate on September 4, is a non-starter. But that didn’t stop him from wasting everyone’s time. And his suggestion for what to do if Harris doesn’t agree is typically Trumpian. He would simply spend the hour chatting with Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity. And he wouldn’t even show up for that, but would phone it in for a “tele-town hall” from the bedroom of his Mar-a-Lago bunker.

If this tells us anything, it’s that Trump isn’t serious at all about any of this. Or at least that he shouldn’t be taken seriously. It appears that he knows he’s in a downward spiral and is headed for defeat. So he’s flailing desperately to keep his head above water. But when he gets like that he only makes things worse. In the process his ranting will become even more unhinged. So stay tuned for what may be this season’s biggest political belly flop. It should be fun.

Fox News Hypes Bogus Report By GOP Falsely Alleging that Biden Engaged in Impeachable Conduct

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

On Monday the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was set to begin its convention to officially certify the candidacy of Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Party’s nominee for President of the United States of America. This year the convention is being held under unique circumstances as Harris only became a candidate three weeks ago. Nevertheless, she is riding a wave of enthusiasm and surging popularity that is stirring anxiety and desperation in the Trump camp.

Right on cue, Fox News and the Republican Party deployed to try to steal the DNC’s thunder. On the morning of the first day of the DNC convention, the GOP issued a report that they claimed contained proof “that President Biden engaged in impeachable conduct.” The report was immediately given to Fox News who broadcast it as an exclusive on Maria Bartiromo’s Trump-Fluffing Hour (video below). And Trump posted it to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, whining “And they go after me for NOTHING!” Fox correspondent, Brooke Singman, gleefully boasted that…

“I obtained a copy of this 292 page report from Republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees. They’ve been leading the impeachment inquiry against President Biden for months. They said that their investigation found that President Biden engaged in impeachable conduct and said that he abused his office and defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”

Singman went on to quote from the report, saying that…

“As Vice-President, President Biden actively participated in his conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden”

The only problem with that is that it has no resemblance to reality whatsoever. The testimony of the GOP’s own witnesses actually absolved Biden of any wrongdoing. During the phone calls that Singman refers to, Biden was only on while innocent pleasantries like the weather were exchanged. The GOP’s “star” witness testified that he never heard the President talk about any business dealings.

Singman continued quoting from the GOP’s work of pure, unadulterated, and deliberate fiction, saying that…

“Several witnesses testified that Hunter Biden invoked his father in business dealings with Romanian, Chinese, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian companies, resulting in millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family.”

Once again, the report doesn’t actually find that President Biden did any of what the report is alleging. In fact, every reference to any alleged wrongdoing in the report was vaguely framed as being associated with “the Biden family.” The report contained zero evidence that President Biden received any money or did anything wrong. What’s more, if Republicans were really interested in a president who enriched himself through shady business dealings with foreigners, they should have been investigating Trump…

It is notable that Singman’s report on Fox News didn’t provide any response from Biden or any White House representative. That isn’t because there wasn’t one. When she posted the same story on the Fox News website, where it wouldn’t get nearly the same amount of exposure, she did include a response by White House spokesperson, Sharon Yang. So she knew about it, but intentionally left it out of the television report. She even included it in an early morning tweet…

Yang: “After wasting nearly two years and millions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans have finally given up on their wild goose chase. This failed stunt will only be remembered for how it became an embarrassment that their own members distanced themselves from as they only managed to turn up evidence that refuted their false and baseless conspiracy theories.”

The attempt by Republicans to tarnish Biden’s reputation, even after he has announced his retirement, is reprehensible and intended only to be nasty while hoping that the stain rubs off on Harris. So far, like every other dirty trick that they have tried to play, they have met with failure.

They still have no evidence of any impeachable crimes. And even when they were taunted by Democratic representative Jared Moskowitz to call for an impeachment vote, the GOP reprobates never did. Which is emblematic of their dishonesty and cowardice. It’s a level of cretinism that is only matched by their confederates at Fox News.

REALLY? JD Vance on Fox News: Polls are ‘Fake’ and ‘the Trump Campaign is in a Very Good Spot’

Posted by on August 18, 2024 at 1:25 pm. NO Comments :

The delirium that has set in at the Donald Trump campaign is reaching ever deeper depths as polling and enthusiasm for Kamala Harris grows. In the mere three weeks that she has been a candidate, the joyful campaign of Harris has raised record amounts of money, signed up tens of thousands of volunteers, and inspired a nation that is anxious to move past the doom and gloom that Trump has made his hallmark for nearly a decade as a political grifter.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

For months Trump has been posting the results of polls that showed him leading President Biden. Every poll released that had him ahead was featured on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. Trump made sure that each opportunity he had to brag was prominently noted and promoted. However, since Harris has entered the race, Trump has been conspicuously silent with regard to election surveys. He’s either shut up entirely, or is resorting to dismissing them as “rigged” and/or “fake.”

SEE THIS: Polls Show Trump Losing to Kamala Harris Now, So He’s Calling them ‘Fake’ and ‘Dishonest’

So it should come as no surprise that Trump’s Mini-Me, JD Vance, is parroting his stance on polling. In a panic, Vance rushed to his safe place at Fox News where he was greeted with a question that was uncharacteristically challenging. Fox’s Shannon Bream asked Vance why “every other poll that’s been released has shown great momentum in [Harris’] direction?” After suppressing his shock and swallowing hard, Vance replied/lied that “There are a lot of polls showing her stagnating or leveling off.” Those must be the polls conducted by MyPolling, an election denying subsidiary of MyPillow.

Vance then sputtered desperately some rote responses that had no resemblance to reality: “We can’t worry about polls. […] The media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters. […] The Trump campaign is in a very, very good spot.”

So now they are suddenly not worrying about or interested in polls? Now the polls are fake and engineered to harm Republicans? And this abrupt about-face occurred spontaneously three weeks ago? Prior to which the polls were all irrefutable as they registered unabated adoration for Hair Trump. According to Vance, the media now has some sort of bias in favor of Harris that they didn’t have for Biden.

What’s more, Vance expresses his consecrated confidence that Trump’s crusade …er… campaign is in tip-top shape and bound for glory. His evidence of that must be the reception that Trump is getting at his recent cult rallies…

Later in this interview Vance told Bream that “If you talk to insiders in the Kamala Harris campaign, they’re very worried about where they are.” And you can count on the validity of that due to Vance’s well known connections to Harris and Democratic insiders. They like nothing better than disclosing internal secrets and dissing their candidate to their GOP opponent.

If this is the best that Trump and Vance can do, they are going to suffer an even more devastating defeat than previously imagined. And this was with Fox News. Wait until they are interviewed by legitimate journalists, if they ever allow that to happen. In the meantime, settle in for a season of MAGA dishonesty and delusion as their Dear Leader stumbles into well-deserved obscurity behind a curtain of shame.

Halfwit Hannity Helps Kamala Harris to Expose the ‘Trump Taxes’ that Will ‘Devastate Americans’

Posted by on August 17, 2024 at 12:27 pm. 2 Comments :

Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party has been struggling desperately to find an effective response to the newly invigorated Democratic campaign for president, led by Vice-President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz. Much of their efforts are still stuck in attacking President Biden and/or trying to shift those attacks unedited to Harris.

Fox News, Sean Hannity

That’s a strategy that so far has only succeeded in giving Jon Stewart more material to mock Trump with. And apparently, being the butt of jokes hasn’t deterred the Trumpists from flailing wildly in hopes of landing a blow on the far more intelligent and nimble Harris campaign. To the contrary, they just continue to double down on their dopey diatribes that inevitably hurt themselves more than their opponents.

SEE THIS: Trump Makes a Pitifully Impotent Attempt to Drive a Wedge Between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

On Friday night Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity, made his latest contribution to the cornucopia of crackpottery. In a segment that was the umpteenth repeat of their tiresome storyline that casts every Democrat as a screaming commie, Hannity may have inadvertently aided and abetted his dreaded foe. He began by furiously maligning Harris as a liar and a fraud…

“This is the most dishonest, deceptive campaign in our country’s history. It’s like con artist Kamala. The biggest bait and switch operation of fraud ever perpetrated on all of you hard-working, taxpaying Americans. And right on cue, today’s speech was full of lots of lies about Donald Trump. Take a look.”

Whereupon, Hannity then played a video clip from Harris’ recent speech in North Carolina. However, the clip Hannity aired was one where Harris took apart Trump’s ill-conceived initiative to slap tariffs on every product that is imported into the United States. She correctly noted that…

[Harris video]: He wants to impose what is, in effect, a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities that we import from other countries. That will devastate Americans. A Trump tax on gas. A Trump tax on food. A Trump tax on clothing. A Trump tax on over-the-counter medication. He tried to cut Medicare every year he was president, threatening a program tens of millions of seniors count on. And according to his Project 2025 agenda, he intends to undo our work to bring down prescription drugs, the cost of prescription drugs, and insulin costs.”

Everything that Harris said was true, as affirmed by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. So naturally Hannity declared, without bothering to back it up, that “None of it is true. Just the opposite. She’s lying.” He went on to refute her remarks about Trump’s Project 2025, saying that “Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025 as she keeps claiming. Clearly he knows nothing about it.”

Hannity is right in one respect. Trump indeed knows nothing about almost everything. However, one of the few exceptions is Project 2025, whose principals are largely Trump associates who have worked in his White House and campaigns. If he is telling the truth about not knowing anyone at Project 2025, then he is suffering a severe cognitive deficiency and should be institutionalized for his own safety. Hannity could share a room with him. And the two of them could spend their days watching Harris’ speech wherein she does what Trump has never been able to do: Deliver a detailed plan to advance the economic well being of every American…
