Weaponizing Congress? GOP Hack Comer Launches Phony Probes Into Both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Posted by on August 16, 2024 at 1:14 pm. 4 Comments :

If anyone is wondering why the American people have a such a poor opinion of Congress, it might have something to do with how little it has done on their behalf under the current – albeit slim – GOP majority. They actually seem to be proud of their ineffectualness. It’s hard to argue that they haven’t been purposefully determined to be political slackers.

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

The Republican “leaders” of the House of Representatives have spent the past two years utterly ignoring their responsibilities to advancing the interests of the citizens they are supposed to be serving. In fact, they have succeeded only at achieving a new record for passing fewer bills than any Congress in modern times. Congratulations.

SEE THIS: DO-NOTHING CONGRESS? The Republican House of Representatives is the Most Productive Ever (LOL)

There are many Republican members who can shar the blame for this deliberate neglect. At the top of the list is the GOP Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, who has exhibited no management aptitude whatsoever. He only got the job when no else could muster enough votes following the ouster of the previous GOP Speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

And right below Johnson in the congressional Dereliction Derby is the chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. He has made it his personal mission to devote all of his time to presiding over ludicrous investigations of Democrats, particularly President Biden and his family. And all to no avail. After wasting months of hearings, and millions of taxpayer dollars, Comer hasn’t found a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing. He’s been so inept that even Fox News took him to task…

SEE ALSO: Fox News is Steaming Mad at GOP Chairman Comer for Being an Incompetent Biden Persecutor

Now that President Biden has passed the torch to Vice-President Kamala Harris, Comer & Co. have abandoned the pitiful failures that they have been obsessed with for so long. But that doesn’t mean that he is taking a rest. Nope. Comer has already initiated investigations of both Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz. Last week he posted this announcement…

This is Comer’s contribution to the brazen lie that Harris was a “Border Czar” (she never was), and that there must be some impropriety that he can manufacture with regard to that lie.

In addition to Comer’s grossly partisan attack on Harris, this week he added Gov. Walz to his hit list.

It’s ironic that Republicans are trying to falsely associate Walz with some sort of collusion with China, when it is Donald Trump and his family who have been doing business there for decades, including while he was occupying the White House. The truth about Walz is that he had a purely educational role in China, as reported by Newsweek…

“Following his graduation, the Minnesota governor and former Congressman spent approximately one year teaching high school in China as part of Harvard University’s WorldTeach program.”

These blatant attempts to weaponize Congress by using it to attack their political foes is a reprehensible perversion of their sworn duties. But it is consistent with their past misbehavior. In the past couple of years they introduced more preposterous articles of impeachment (for Biden, DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, FBI Director Chris Wray, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, and Attorney General Merrick Garland) than any session of Congress ever.

And now they are turning their aim toward Harris and Walz in the final months of this election year. The good news is that Comer and his cohorts are too feeble-minded to succeed at anything other than humiliating themselves. They inherited that mental defect from their Dear Leader Trump. And in the end all of them will wind up achieving the only outcome that they are capable of: FAILURE!

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

Posted by on August 15, 2024 at 1:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The desperation in Donald Trump has been oozing out of every pore in his corpulent body ever since Kamala Harris became his opponent for the presidency. Trump was primed to run against Joe Biden with a barrel full of age-related assaults that he must now discard. He never had a substantive argument against Biden or a truthful one for himself.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Consequently, Trump is now left with nothing but his babbling diversions about Hannibal Lecter and his hostile and tiresome taunts at the press. He spent his recent cult rally in North Carolina – where he promised to focus on economic issues – flailing wildly with infantile insults at both Biden and Harris, whom he is now trailing in most polls.

SEE THIS: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

On Thursday morning Trump took to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, to resume his barrage of incoherent blather aimed at Harris and Biden. In a psychotic rant Trump alleged that there is some sort of division between the President and the Vice-President. Of Course, it is another figment cooked up in his perversely warped imagination. He wrote that…

“Kamala Harris wants NOTHING TO DO WITH CROOKED JOE BIDEN. They are throwing him out on the Monday Night Stage, known as Death Valley. He now HATES Obama and Crazy Nancy more than he hates me! He is an angry man, as he should be. They stole the Presidency from him — ‘It was a Coup!'”

First of all, any assessment by Trump of what is going on in the personal lives of Democrats must be taken with a shipload of salt. That’s especially true of his musings about the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC). He obviously has no sources or insights into internal Democratic affairs.

For the record, Harris has scheduled Biden to speak on day one of the DNC during a celebration of the President she has served loyally for three and half years. It will be a tribute at a time reserved for honors. By comparison, here are the people that Trump scheduled at the RNC for what he calls “Death Valley”: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Ron Johnson, Sen. Tim Scott, Virginia, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. They will surely be thrilled to find out just how lowly he regards them by having scheduled them there..

To make matters worse for Trump, Harris and Biden made their first public appearance together since the passing of the torch on the same Thursday morning. And Harris was not shy about expressing her admiration and appreciation for her boss. She introduced him saying that “I could speak all afternoon about the person that I am standing on the stage with. [Extended ovation] Our extraordinary President Joe Biden.”

And the feelings were mutual. In his remarks Biden praised Harris as “an incredible partner…She’s gonna make one hell of a president.” But he also found time to taunt Trump as “The guy we’re running against…what’s his name? Donald Dump?”

Trump’s characterization of Biden as hating Harris and Obama and Pelosi is just more evidence of his acute derangement, which is getting worse by the hour. Meanwhile, both Harris and Biden are campaigning in an environment of joyfulness that the nation finds endearing and a great relief from the animus of Trump & Co. Plus, like much of the English language, Trump is proving that he doesn’t have the slightest idea what the word “coup” means. It was Biden who chose to step aside and endorse Harris. And it looks like it was another brilliant decision on Biden’s part.

Trump is the coup plotter – and the convicted felon – and the sexual abuser – and the financial fraudster – and the serial adulterer – and the wannabe dictator. And for some gawdfersaken reason, he is also the choice of the Republican Party to be their standard bearer and lead them to another humiliating defeat in November. Let’s wish them all the best in that pursuit.

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

Posted by on August 14, 2024 at 12:55 pm. 3 Comments :

Watching the downward spiral of Donald Trump is becoming object lesson in mental deterioration as he descends ever deeper into a bottomless pit of pathos and desperation. Ever since Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, Trump has responded with exponentially more extreme exhibits of madness. And he wasn’t exactly a portrait of sanity before that.

Donald Trump

The media hasn’t been especially good at reporting the severity of Trump’s psychological maladies. While they spent months obsessing over President Biden’s alleged age-related defects, they ignored Trump’s far worse displays of derangement. Biden would get criticized for stuttering, but Trump would get a pass for hallucinating.

SEE THIS: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

The good news is that some of the biases of the press may be starting to thaw. The Washington Post just published an article that enumerates some of Trump’s recent meanderings into the muck of his mania. The headline summarizes the substance: “Trump’s laundry list of increasingly bizarre claims.” And it doesn’t mince words describing Trump’s meltdown…

“This is bonkers, even by Trump’s own conspiratorial and falsehood-laden standards [and that] It’s difficult to truly compare the relative ridiculousness of Trump’s claims over time, but there is no question he’s pushed the envelope in new and astonishing ways.”

The Post enumerates ten of Trump’s most recent derpitudes, followed by documented fact checks. They begin with one that was just loosed a few days ago: “Harris’s rally crowds ‘DIDN’T EXIST’ and ‘nobody was there.’” Trump claimed that photos of Harris’ supporters were altered by AI, and that there was really no one at all at the event. Never mind all the live streamed video and press accounts – including by conservative media. Trump’s assertion was wholly manufactured from raw fiction.

MORE HERE: Trump’s Dementia Dives Deeper as He Regurgitates Conspiracy Theories About Kamala Harris’ Crowds

The list continued with even more preposterous assertions emanating from Trump’s corroding cranium. Among them, he accused the FBI of plotting to assassinate him. He said that Harris had only recently turned Black. He repeated his ludicrous charge that Democrats support infanticide. Here is the full list…

On Wednesday morning Trump spoke briefly to reporters after voting in the Florida primary. He was asked about the “fake” crowds claim and replied that “I can’t say what was there, who was there. I can only tell you about ours. And we have the biggest crowds ever in the history of politics. We have crowds that nobody has ever seen before.”

Except that Trump actually and explicitly did say who was there (“nobody”). And his claim that he has “the biggest crowds ever in the history of politics” is just plain delusional. However, his next comment was sort of a curious confession. He said that “We have crowds that nobody has ever seen before.” So now he’s saying that he’s the one who has nonexistent and/or invisible crowds that no one has seen?

Don’t try too hard to figure out anything that Trump says. It will only cause acute frustration and possible brain injury.

Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

Posted by on August 13, 2024 at 1:30 pm. 2 Comments :

If anyone is looking for something to praise Donald Trump for, they would find it in his extraordinary ability to praise himself for anything and everything that he might undertake. He is his own walking ego fluffer with an inexhaustible supply of narcissistic adoration. No one thinks more of Trump than Trump. Not even his glassy-eyed cult disciples who revere him as their messiah.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Consequently, Trump is incapable of processing any information that portrays him as less than omnipotent and infallible. And he envisions himself as the victor of every challenge that he encounters. That’s why he is still claiming that he won the 2020 presidential election despite the reality that he lost and that every other sentient being recognizes. It’s why he can’t accept the results of polls unless they show him beating every opponent.

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

Whenever Trump is confronted by negative news that triggers his anxiety, he ducks behind his shield of delusions in order to avoid the emotional trauma of exposure to his phalanx of flaws. From that defensive position Trump fires off slanderous spitballs at his foes that inevitably fall short of their target. Even worse, they often blow up in his face.

Ever since Kamala Harris took the leadership baton from President Biden, she has executed with near perfection. She has driven unprecedented enthusiasm, raised record amounts of money, and unified the Democratic base. Meanwhile, Trump has holed up in his Mar-a-Lago Bunker lobbing infantile insults (“Laffin'”, “Lyin'”, and/or “Crazy” Kamala) and distracting himself with golf and brunch buffets.

Among Trump’s desperate and impotent pejorative rants are his attempts to demean the intelligence of Vice-President Harris – a UCSF Law graduate, former Attorney General, and U.S. Senator. Trump calls her “dumb” and a “low IQ individual.” Of course, that’s what he calls everyone he doesn’t like. On the other hand, he says that Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are “brilliant.”

There’s one problem, however, with Trump’s kindergarten taunts. (Well, a lot more than one, but we don’t have all day). Trump apparently hasn’t noticed that the person he is belittling as “dumb” is beating the pants off of him. He is losing to someone he thinks can’t put two sentences together. And, yes, he said the same thing about Biden, who also beat him four years ago.

So what does it say about Trump if he can’t prevail over people he thinks are stupid? And what does he do? He resorts to denying reality again. Just like his election denialism, he is now refuting the polls that just a few weeks ago he was hailing as evidence of his superiority. He posted on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, that…

“The NYT/Siena Poll has way over sampled Democrat voters, and way under sampled people who voted for me in 2020. The Fake News York Times insisted they do this so that it would look as bad as possible in comparison to their last poll, which was very good for me, way up, and made the very biased Times look ‘stupid,’ just like in 2016. I am actually up on the San Francisco Liberal, despite all of Crooked Media. She would DESTROY AMERICA, just like she destroyed San Francisco!”

All of that is utter nonsense. Especially the part about the Times “insisting” that they deliberately made Trump look bad. He doesn’t need anyone’s help to do that. And the people of San Francisco might be surprised to learn that their city was destroyed twenty years ago when she was elected District Attorney.

What’s more, it isn’t just the New York Times poll that shows Trump trailing. The trends in almost all the polls show him behind Harris, the woman he regards as “dumb.” Which is a striking turnaround from just a couple of week prior when those polls had Trump ahead.

No wonder Trump is losing his mind over this. But bragging that a “low IQ individual” is beating you isn’t the flex that he thinks it is. Unless, that is, he is a “low IQ individual” himself, or just a low life, failed businessman, and former reality TV game show host, with delusions of grandeur and futile authoritarian aspirations.

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

Posted by on August 12, 2024 at 1:55 pm. 6 Comments :

The evidence of Donald Trump’s aversion to anything that remotely resembles the truth is abundant and unarguable. Particularly when that evidence comes from Trump himself. For instance, in the book that he lies about having written – “The Art of the Deal” – Trump said via his ghost writer that “People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole.”

Donald Trump

There is, of course, nothing truthful about hyperbole, which is defined as “an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally.” In other words, it is a claim that has been deliberately falsified. And Trump is so proud of his use of it that he not only bragged about it in his book, he employs it in his commentaries almost daily. Whatever he is engaged in is the biggest and best in the history of humankind. And anything his foes do is the worst since time began.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Dementia Dives Deeper as He Regurgitates Conspiracy Theories About Kamala Harris’ Crowds

Among Trump’s most frequent deployments of his hyperbolic lies is his obsession with polling that places him in positive territory. His floundering social media scam, Truth Social, is littered with his posts declaring that he has insurmountable leads over his adversaries, even if only by insignificant amounts within the margin of error.

However, most recent polls show Kamala Harris in the lead. It is a small lead at this point, but a substantial move in her direction from prior polls. As a result, Trump has abandoned his celebration of surveys. With the exception of a couple of Trump-fluffing outfits (e.g. Rasmussen, Trafalgar), he has quit his posting of polls. Instead, he is now bashing the whole profession as “fake” and “dishonest.” On Monday morning he whined…

“A Major, and highly respected, Pollster: ‘Don’t let the embargo of other polling fool anyone – Democrats are in real trouble.’ Fake Polls are changing their methods and standards from 3 weeks ago. Highly inaccurate (dishonest!).”

Notice that Trump didn’t bother to identify this mysterious “Major, and highly respected, Pollster.” That’s a common tactic of his when he’s quoting someone that almost certainly isn’t highly respected. Nevertheless, he is comforted by his fantasy that “Democrats are in real trouble,” despite the reality that he is in a downward spiral as all the trends are against him. [Update: The pollster Trump was covertly quoting is Rasmussen]

None of that has tempered Trump’s political dementia. This weekend he posted an acutely deranged comment wherein he insisted that “I’m doing really well in the Presidential Race, leading in almost all of the REAL polls.” In Trump World, “real” is defined by whatever feeds Trump’s ego.

On Friday Trump held what he pretended was a press conference wherein he replied to a question about why he hasn’t been campaigning by insulting the reporter and lying: “What a stupid question. Because I’m leading by a lot. And I’m letting their convention go through.”

In the real world, Trump is not leading by a lot – or at all. And if he’s refraining from campaigning until the Democratic National Convention is over, he’s gonna have to wait another two weeks. That makes no sense. He’s trending down now, but he thinks it’s a good idea to lounge at his Mar-a-Lago bunker until after Democrats get an expected bounce from their convention? It must be some kind of brilliant, “stable genius,” 3D Checkers.

Trump is behaving like someone who knows that he has no chance of winning. He’s essentially giving up. And since he can’t boast about his polling, he’s attacking the pollsters. It’s all so transparently driven by fear and desperation. And it’s turning his maniacal hyperbole up from eleven to forty-something. The next stop for Trump might be a room at Shady Pines.

Trump’s Dementia Dives Deeper as He Regurgitates Conspiracy Theories About Kamala Harris’ Crowds

Posted by on August 11, 2024 at 1:09 pm. 3 Comments :

The massive, yet fragile, ego of Donald Trump must be an awesome burden to shield from the unsettling realities of life that bring him so much despair. Every day is a battle to maintain the fantastical wonderland that he has manufactured for himself and his glassy-eyed cult disciples. And as he descends to ever deeper depths of derangement, his attempts at deception become more desperate and downright pathetic.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Twitter

Nothing is more important to Trump than the shallow trivialities of TV ratings and crowd size. He dispenses anxious commentaries about these metrics at every one of his cult rallies, and nearly every day on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat

On Sunday Trump posted another rage-filled rant online that did nothing more than affirm the severity of his mental impairment. The posting was a regurgitation of a conspiracy theory that recently floated around the InterTubes about an allegedly fake photograph of Kamala Harris arriving at an airport with a cheering reception by thousands of supporters. Trump ranted that…

“Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she ‘A.I.’d’ it, and showed a massive ‘crowd’ of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST!”

This is Trump’s response to virtually every documented event where Harris draws larger audiences than he does. He simply declares – with zero evidence – that it didn’t happen. And he expects his followers to believe whatever he says, rather than their own wyes. Which they likely will do. He continued saying that…

“She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture, but there was nobody there, later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror like finish on the Vice Presidential Plane. She’s a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting, and the ‘crowd’ looked like 10,000 people! Same thing is happening with her fake ‘crowds’ at her speeches.”

None of that is remotely true. He doesn’t bother to identify this imaginary “maintenance worker,” nor does he provide any source for the photo that he says was altered by AI. But he does expand his baseless allegations to other unspecified speeches Harris gave. And once again, the proof is buried in his broken brain. Then Trump concluded saying that…

“This is the way the Democrats win Elections, by CHEATING – And they’re even worse at the Ballot Box. She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!””

Naturally, Trump tries to tie these falsehoods to his notorious “Big Lie” that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” from him. Never mind that he has never been able to provide a shred of evidence supporting his accusations after four years and 60+ court cases. By Trump’s reasoning, he should disqualify himself from the race for election fraud.

For the record, the airport reception that Trump says was attended by nobody was actually teeming with thousands of Harris supporters. What’s more, there was a heavy presence of reporters there, including many from conservative-leaning outlets. None of them reported that they – and the enthusiastic crowd – weren’t really there. And if further evidence is needed, how about a video…

This is emblematic of the acutely disturbed mental state that Trump lives in. He doesn’t care how obvious his lies are to any rational person. He knows that his minions will believe only him. That’s the nature of a cult. And if he has to disseminate crackpot conspiracies, he’s comfortable with that as well. Because in his twisted cranium, anything is better than the humiliation of losing. Particularly to a woman…a Black woman…a Black Democratic woman.

LOSER Trump’s Truth Social is Well on its Way to Becoming His Next Bankruptcy

Posted by on August 10, 2024 at 3:49 pm. 1 Comments :

The last thing that Donald Trump needs now, as his campaign flounders in the wake of the Kamala Harris tidal wave, is for his business enterprises to crumble under the weight of his incompetence. Trump has already had numerous companies fail, including his egomaniacally self-branded meat, vodka, airline, university, and four (count ’em 4!) casinos.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Trump’s resume in business was supposed to be a validation of his qualifications to serve as president. Instead, it is actually evidence of his ineptitude, which was affirmed by the abysmal job he did during his occupation of the white House. He mismanaged the COVID pandemic with horrific results. He tanked the economy. He alienated our international allies. He lost a record number of jobs. In other words, he did to America what he did to his bankrupt businesses. Yet he has the gall to disparage the leadership of Biden and Harris.

SEE THIS: UH-OH! Trump Meltdown Reveals Kamala Harris Plot to ‘Destroy’ the ‘County’ of America

On Friday the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG, parent company of of Truth Social), reported its earning for the second quarter of 2024. And it was not a pretty sight. As reported by Investor’s Business Daily…

“Trump Media reported net sales of $836,000, down 30% vs. a year earlier. It was the third straight quarter of roughly $800,000 in revenue, up slightly from Q1’s $770,500. Operating costs soared to $19.5 million vs. $4.9 million a year earlier.”

So TMTG is sinking faster than a boat with an electric battery. Watch out for the sharks – and the windmills, and Hannibal Lecter. Its stock (DJT) has dropped a whopping 63% since its late March high when it went public. It has a wildly unworthy valuation of about $5 billion, despite having no revenue to speak of, and massive losses. So it has a lot of room to fall even farther.

The weakness of Trump’s stock makes it less useful as a vessel to funnel laundered funds to him by his political allies, which include foreign interests. There was speculation that such illegal tactics were being used to buy influence with Trump should he be reelected. And those weren’t the only legal shenanigans associated with TMTG. There has been a rash of civil and criminal charges that plagued the enterprise and its principles from its inception, including disclosures of alleged funding from Russia.

Trump’s personal stake in the company could net him a hefty windfall. But he can’t cash out until late September. The stock is likely to have lost significantly more value by then. And if he does sell, it will trigger a crushing rush to the exits that could cripple the company and its future prospects as a going concern. Not that he cares. Trump’s modus operandi has been to run companies into the ground, skim off the cream at the top, and let everyone else suffer from the financial catastrophe that he created. This will be just be more of the same.

Fox News is APPALLED that Kamala Harris is a Disciplined Orator Who Can Actually Stay on Message

Posted by on August 9, 2024 at 1:16 pm. 3 Comments :

In the short time since Kamala Harris has become the Democratic nominee for president, Republicans have had plenty to be upset about. Not the least of which is how quickly she has consolidated support across a broad spectrum of Americans, raised record amounts of money, and signed up hundreds of thousands of volunteers.

Fox News, Kamala Harris

The Kamala phenomena has not been lost on the GOP and its addled and anxiety-ridden standard bearer, Donald Trump. They have expressed their concerns about the surging Harris candidacy by lashing out wildly with impotent attacks centered on preposterous allegations that she is a “far left lunatic,” who isn’t really Black, and has the audacity to engage in bizarre human behavior such as laughing…

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump: I Hate it When People Laugh at Me, and When Kamala Harris Laughs at All

On Friday morning Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) aired a segment that addressed yet another pressing issue that is uppermost on the minds of America’s voters. The co-host of Fox’s Outnumbered, Kayleigh McEnany (formerly Trump’s White House press secretary), played a montage of Harris speaking before some of the cheering crowds she has been attracting. But what bothered McEnany was not anything related to the policies Harris advocated, which are mostly aligned with the majority of the American people.

Nope, what ruffled Fox’s feathers was that Harris repeated some of the same things in a couple of different speeches. Apparently that consistency is abhorrent to the MAGA Fox “News” clan. McEnany complained that…

“Look, I know this is a stump speech. Over and over, I can recite most of it. But the unison – you’ve gotta get off script. Every politician has a stump speech, but that’s a lot of the same.”

Actually, it was not really “a lot of the same.” It was just about six sentence fragments extracted from speeches that were closer to an hour long. But more to the point…WHO F**KING CARES?

McEnany acknowledges that Harris was delivering common, ordinary stump speeches. By definition that is an address that is retold at a variety of campaign stops. Candidates don’t write entire new speeches for every city they visit. So what McEnany is really whining about is that Harris has the good judgment and discipline to stay on message in order to execute a successful campaign plan, and to communicate effectively with her audiences.

Perhaps the reason that Fox News is so disturbed by this is that it is such a pronounced departure from the wandering ramblings of their Dear Leader Trump. Not that he doesn’t disgorge relentlessly repetitious rants at every one of his cult rallies. He does. In fact, his ponderous prattle often puts his parish to sleep.

However, Trump is also notorious for swerving off script frequently to disinform his devotees of important matters such as being electrocuted or devoured by sharks; or the heartbreak of windmill cancer; or the vastness of his crowds that are thousands more than his venue even holds; or his romance with brutal dictators; or whatever his perverse relationship with the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter is.

To Fox News a speech isn’t worthwhile unless the speaker proves that they are incapable of sticking to the subject or remaining moderately coherent. So naturally they revere Trump, but they are furious with Harris for showing that she has focus and intellect, as well as being relatable and even joyful.

And speaking of joy, that’s another thing that Fox News isn’t going to tolerate in a political leader. Julie Banderas, on the same episode of Outnumbered, blasted the sunny disposition of the Harris campaign saying that “There is nothing to be joyful about.” What an inspiring nod to the doom and gloom of Trump, whose MAGA movement is a promise of dystopian despair. And to their credit, it’s a promise that they have been remarkably adept at fulfilling.

UH-OH! Trump Meltdown Reveals Kamala Harris Plot to ‘Destroy’ the ‘County’ of America

Posted by on August 8, 2024 at 3:13 pm. 1 Comments :

One thing for which Donald Trump can always be relied on, is his unwavering commitment to disseminating the most ludicrous hyperbole about any subject that comes up. Whatever or whoever he’s talking about is the most, worst, biggest, dumbest, craziest whatever or whoever in history on a level that nobody has ever seen before. No really!

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

A recent example of this gloom-casting is Trump’s reaction to a stock market decline this week that he said was just the beginning of a worldwide economic catastrophe that would lead to a Great Depression even worse than the one in 1929. At least that was his hope as he tried to create a panic in order to produce the very catastrophe that he was predicting.

SEE THIS: Trump is Trying to Provoke Panic Over a Common Stock Market Drop to Save His Failing Campaign

Of course Trump’s predictions were as successful as his bankrupt casinos. Three days after the market decline, the market has recovered more than it had lost and is now higher than it was before Trump’s fear mongering. And you might think that that humiliating failure would temper his confidence in making any more predictions. If so, you don’t know Trump. Because on Thursday he posted the following alarming warning on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social…

“If [Kamala Harris] is Elected, our County, and indeed the World, will suffer a 1929 Style Great Depression. It will be the Worst in history and AMERICA WILL BE DESTROYED!”

OH NOES! Trump has assessed the wobbly condition of the nation’s economy and concluded that the “County” of America is doomed to fail if Kamala Harris triumphs in November. And it won’t merely be bad, but it will be “the Worst in history” and that “AMERICA WILL BE DESTROYED!”

Never mind that Trump has made the very same portentous prophecies before every election for many years. He said that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, would all drive the nation into everlasting ruin. And now he’s really pouring it on with Harris. In a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago bunker he said that…

“If [Kamala Harris] becomes president our country is going to be a giant fail. It’s gonna fail. It’s gonna be a failure the likes of which this world has never seen.”

Trump also ignores the reality that Biden and Harris have presided over one of the most economically successful administrations in decades. Millions of jobs were created. Profits are at record highs. Wages have increased faster than inflation. Manufacturers returned from foreign shores. Infrastructure improvements have been funded. And leading edge industries in technology and climate crisis mitigation have been supported.

In the meantime, Trump has been off the campaign trail. As Harris and her new VP running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, travel the country exciting voters, Trump remains holed up at Mar-a-Lago where he does call-ins to Fox News and now a babbling press conference that highlights his incoherence. Among the absurdities he spewed were that on January 6, 2021, there was a peaceful transfer of power, and that his base of supporters is 75% of the country.

The media made the mistake – again – of airing Trump’s press conference live. They should have learned by now that he is only exploiting these opportunities to spread lies. It’s an extended campaign infomercial that he gets for free. Although in his case, it’s also a live televised meltdown of a severely disturbed mental patient. At least MSNBC did a decent, if only partial, fact check afterward.

GREAT NEWS! Trump Says that ‘Every One of Us are Gonna Be Leaving’ If Kamala Harris Wins

Posted by on August 7, 2024 at 1:24 pm. 6 Comments :

Anyone who listens to Donald Trump for any length of time has to wonder why he bothers to run for office, or even live in the United States. His speeches are a non-stop torrent of antipathy toward the nation that he repeatedly demeans as “failing,” and disparages most of its residents who he regards as “animals.”

Donald Trump, Wah

The only time Trump ever says anything good about America is when he’s lying about his abysmal stewardship of it, or when he’s lauding the “very fine people” who promote neo-Nazi initiatives and confederate statues. He has adopted a rather bizarre campaign theme that is overtly anti-American and relies on tearing down the country in the most vile terms. For instance, he posted the following absurd pitch for votes on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social:

“OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE! VOTE FOR TRUMP, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?”

Now that the 2024 presidential race is in full swing, Trump is slithering farther out on the limb of sanity as he becomes utterly incapable of dealing with his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris (who for some reason he keeps calling “Kamabla”) And on Wednesday, while Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, were out stumping across the country, Trump did another one of his lazy Fox News phone-in “interviews” in his jammies, from his Mar-a-Lago bunker, with the sycophantic Trump-fluffers on Fox & Friends. It consisted of the typical and tedious playlist of substanceless blather that Trump has been spinning for months.

Much of Trump’s whining was related to the recent volatility in the stock market. Trump has been ranting that it’s all President Biden’s fault. Or even Harris’ fault. And he repeated his prediction that a Democratic victory would result in a market crash worse than 1929. Of course, he’s been making the same ludicrous prediction since 2015. But now he is purposefully trying to create a panic by fear mongering that the world is coming to an end. In the Fox segment (video below) Trump warned his glassy-eyed cult followers that…

“Our whole country, our whole system is gonna collapse. Even the talk about her has driven the stock market down. You know when the stock market goes down, when you see it go down, that’s because she gets a decent poll number. She gets bounces in the poll, the market goes down. The stock market will collapse like in 1929 if they’re elected.’

Needless to say, that is all pure Trumpian bullshittery. The market did go down after some polls showed Harris tightening the race. But the market went back up after some more polls showed her taking the lead. Obviously, stock market performance has little to do with election polling. But Trump is desperate enough to exploit anything in order to avoid facing the reality that he’s a loser.

There is, however, some good news that Trump provided in this Fox segment. Just prior to his wacko statement above, Trump said that…

“If [Harris] does this to America, every one of us are either gonna be leaving or we’re gonna be living like dogs.”

Is that a promise? Will Trump, and every one of his cult disciples, really leave if Harris wins the election? That would be a fantastic addendum to the Democratic victory. It would be so much winning. And those of us who remain will “be living like dogs.” Which, if Trump knew anything about a dog’s life, would be pretty damn sweet. There’s even an old saying – “It’s a dog’s life” – that is used to describe times of pleasantness and leisure. Which the country, and the world, would enjoy in abundance if Trump and his ilk would just go away.
