Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

Posted by Mark NC on August 7, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 3 Comments :

The abysmal job approval ratings achieved by Donald Trump are currently among the lowest he has ever recorded, as well as the lowest of his modern predecessors. And with regard to the issues that he has deemed crucial, he is underwater on everything from immigration and deportations, to tariffs and trade, to foreign policy and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, to the economy, and more.

That explains why Trump and his MAGA minions are desperately plotting to rig the 2026 elections in order to maintain their tyrannical grip power. To that end, Texas governor Greg Abbott has assembled a special session of the Texas state legislature to force a rare mid-census redistricting, intending to redraw the district maps to favor Republicans and oust Democrats. Although he may end up regretting the partisan hornet’s nest that he has aroused.

Not one to be left out of any fiery news cycle, Trump joined in with his own ideas that represent a massive escalation of his war to crown himself King of America. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted a comment announcing his intention to raise the ante on redistricting with a grossly unlawful scheme to steal the elections in 2026 and 2028 and beyond…

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

First of all, Trump couldn’t care less about accuracy or facts. If he did he would not have just fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics simply because he didn’t like the accurate facts that were revealed in the recent jobs report.

More to the point, Trump’s decree to conduct a new census on a purely political partisan basis is blatantly unconstitutional. Not that he cares about that either. But the Constitution clearly states how the census is to be conducted in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, which says that…

“The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”

So according to the Constitution, the census is to be conducted once every ten years. There is nothing in that clause that allows for more frequent surveys. There are also no funds allocated by Congress to pay the $15 billion dollars that it costs to do a new, complete census.

However, that isn’t the only Constitutional obstacle to Trump’s ludicrous plan. He says openly that he wants his new survey to exclude “People who are in our Country illegally.” That is also prohibited by constitutional law. The 14th Amendment, Section 2, states that…

“Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.”

While undocumented persons do not vote, they are persons. And it is critical to know the total number of all persons to ensure that states receive and allocate adequate resources to serve their entire resident population. You cannot simply pretend that real human beings don’t exist. An accurate complete count impacts everything from housing, to police and fire services, to education, to nutritional and health matters, to traffic, and more.

What’s more, the financial contributions of undocumented persons to the economy need to be assessed. For instance, in 2022, undocumented immigrant households paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes, and had $299 billion in spending power. They also fulfill labor needs in fields such as agriculture, construction, healthcare, etc. And they pay into the Social Security Trust Fund, even though they cannot collect from it. In fact, undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes in 2022.

Consequently, Trump’s idea of excluding undocumented persons from the census would be materially harmful to every municipality, and to the nation as a whole. Meanwhile, any changes to the apportionment of congressional representatives or Electoral Collage votes would be minimal with offsetting impact for both parties.

In conclusion, there is no reason to conduct another census with Trump’s racist adjustments other than to satiate the hatred by Trump and his MAGA movement. And the legal barriers to it are impossible to overcome without actions taken by Congress or constitutional amendment.

Trump tried this before and was struck down by the Supreme Court with a decision written by conservative Justice John Roberts. So maybe Trump’s motivation for doing this is not just to steal an election. Maybe he’s also using it as yet another distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell affair that he is trying so feverishly to avoid. And he’s losing on both counts.

Trump’s Intel Boss Can’t Cite Any Evidence Tying Obama to Her Phony ‘Russia Hoax’ on Fox News

Posted by Mark NC on August 6, 2025 at 1:52 pm. 0 Comments :

The past few weeks have seen Donald Trump and his Garrulous Gaslight Gang scampering frantically to shift America’s attention from his abhorrent and aberrant relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to anything else. They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this mission of mercenary misinformation and malice.

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

The panic sweat is dripping from the brows of the Trump flunkies as they try to peddle their all too obvious distractions. They run the gamut from trivialities like the wholly concocted controversies about the jeans of Sydney Sweeney, to the inflation inducing Trump taxes (aka tariffs), to more disturbing and utterly bogus allegations of treason by President Obama and others.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

What the Trump regime operatives are calling the “Russia Hoax” has taken center stage, as they flock to Fox News every day to spread their blatant nonsense. And leading the charge is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and bona fide Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard. On Tuesday night Gabbard visited with Fox News Trump-fluffer, Laura Ingraham, who asked a surprisingly relevant question. But predictably, she didn’t get anything resembling a coherent answer…

Ingraham: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia Hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence for our viewers tonight?
Gabbard: Laura, you know, as you were playing those clips of these people like Morning Joe [Scarborough] seemingly befuddled, saying that by no account is any of this true. I would challenge them to see if they’ve actually read the documents, every single page of the documents that we’ve released over the last couple of weeks.

Whereupon, Gabbard invited the Fox News viewers to read a bunch of garbage that she posted online. As if they would – or can – read. But she didn’t bother to provide any of the allegedly “irrefutable evidence” that Ingraham asked for. All of the information that she has presented previously – online or on the air – has been entirely devoid of any factual basis.

Nevertheless, Gabbard went on to tell Ingraham that the online docs would reveal “how President Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called to talk about Russia.” She claimed that Obama tasked his Intel staff to alter the substance of their reporting on Russia’s well documented interference in the 2016 presidential election. Then she continued, brazenly lying that…

“Per the president’s direction, per the president’s order, and very specifically, they were tasked to create an intelligence assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how. And this was the beginning of this manufactured intelligence assessment where they knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.”

To reiterate, Gabbard has still not fulfilled Ingraham’s request for some actual evidence. But now she is asserting, without any proof, that Obama and his staff altered and released falsified data. Not only was the data not false, it was corroborated by the Senate Intelligence Committee five years ago when it was chaired by Republicans, including Trump’s current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

Even Gabbard’s own comments suggest that the Obama did nothing wrong. She notes that Obama asked that the reports include how “Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how.” She’s implying that there is something untoward about that. But it’s only because the “if” was not in doubt. Russia definitely tried to influence the election. Obama wanted to make sure that their methods (the “how”) were also included in the report. That’s real honesty and transparency.

For his part, Trump helped to keep all of this in the news with a new comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In what appears to be his transcript of what Gabbard said on Fox News, Trump wrote that…

“Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called… They were tasked to create an Intelligence Assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election—not ‘if’—but ‘how’… They knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.'”

If nothing else, we have additional confirmation that Trump spends an inordinate amount of his time watching his minions talk about him on Fox News. However, the truly troubling aspects of this go much deeper. Just in the past week we have seen the weaponizing of the law by Trump’s Justice Department and his MAGA contingent in Congress.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi has launched “a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election.” And GOP Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has issued subpoenas for depositions from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

So Bondi and Comer are joining Gabbard in the quest for evidence-free persecution of Democrats and other critics of Dear Leader Trump. None of them actually present any of their imaginary evidence. But they bellow about it publicly in an attempt to get their cult followers and the media to pay attention to their fabrications. And of course, to draw attention away from Epstein and Maxwell and Trump.

The good news is that it isn’t working. The American people – including many Trump supporters – still want the truth to be revealed. They aren’t buying the misdirection tactics. And the pathetic and desperate determination of the Trumpists just makes them look all the more ridiculous.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud

Posted by Mark NC on August 5, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump launched his Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), he was brimming with optimism about the future of his new venture. Four years later that optimism has utterly failed to be affirmed. The business that runs Trump’s Truth Social website and a handful of other insolvent enterprises has never turned a profit.

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

In 2024, TMTG reported a net loss of $400.9 million despite only booking revenue of $3.6 million. They reported a net loss of $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Most recently, in the second quarter of 2025, the company reported a net loss of $20 million on only $883,300 in net sales.

However, none of that prevented Trump from making preposterous claims about his financial misadventures. During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

FOR THE RECORD: Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to defraud banks. Maybe that had something to do with his trouble getting U.S. banks to do business with him. So he went to the Russians.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-05T16:07:51.546Z

Any reputable bank would be hard pressed to justify doing business with Trump who, in addition to the above, has filed at least four bankruptcies. As for TMTG, the week before his inauguration this year it was trading at about $43.00. Six months later it is under $17.00. A decline of more than 60%. During the same time period the S&P 500 rose more than 8%.

The only recent news for the company was its purchase of $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. Which is a major departure from its core media technology business to a sort of cryptocurrency treasury. TMTG had to raise funds from unnamed institutional investors to finance the purchase, which raises questions of conflicts of interest and and/or political bribery.

Meanwhile, Trump’s crypto meme coin, which he launched the day before his inauguration at $74.00, is now trading at about $9.00, a massive drop of 88%. Trump also signed legislation – the so-called GENIUS Act – that benefits his own investments in the crypto market. Nothing suspicious about that, is there?

Despite the economic debacles that Trump has presided over, he himself has managed to profit. He continues to be skillful at enriching himself while fleecing his flock of cult disciples. At the same time he is providing a path for interested parties to grease his palm for political favors. That includes adversarial foreign operatives who are buying influence, not investing.

The brief history of Trump’s involvement in the media, technology, and crypto businesses is rampant with failure and potential fraud. For instance…

Truth Social Parent Plans Desperate Share Buyback to Boost its Failing Stock and Enrich Trump
This is a tactic that is sometimes used to juice failing stocks. By reducing the shares available on the market, the remaining shares should be more valuable. That would mean an extraordinary leap in wealth for Trump who is the largest stakeholder

SRSLY? Trump Brags that His Pitifully Failing Meme Coin is a ‘Tracker’ of His Imaginary Success
Trump’s meme coin is hardly a game-changer. While it has generated a significant horde of untraceable cash for Trump, who paid nothing for his shares, it has been an abysmal loser for nearly everyone else who was foolish enough to invest in it.

In what may be the least surprising news of the year so far, Donald Trump’s flagship social media enterprise, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – the parent holding company of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social – released its annual report on Friday that revealed just how big a failure it is.

Trump’s Cognitive Weakness is on Display in a Psycho Sydney Sweeney Rant that Goes Way Off Track

Posted by Mark NC on August 4, 2025 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

America is currently mired in a multitude of debacles mostly concocted by Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies. They range from tariff-driven inflation, to foreign conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, to the deliberate dismantling of democracy. And all the while the Confounder-in-Chief is focused like a laser on the things that matter most to the American people: Petty celebrity advertisements for blue jeans.

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

Trump has always been an avid consumer of media trivialities and tabloid gossip. He regularly spends his time as “president” lambasting notables such as Stephen Colbert, Rosie O’Donnell, Bruce Springsteen, and his famous declaration that “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.” Most recently Trump went bonkers over some rather mild criticism by Charlamagne Tha God on the Fox News program hosted by his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

SEE THIS: Trump Calls Charlamagne Tha God a ‘Low IQ’ ‘Racist Sleazebag’ During Lara Trump’s Fox News Show

However, rather than addressing the myriad misfortunes of the nation, Trump is still chasing irrelevancies that he thinks are major hardships befalling the nation’s citizens. His desperate attempts at diversion are at least partly intended to deflect from the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell stories that continue to drag him down.

To that end Trump posted a tediously long comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, blasting the imaginary critics of a Jeans ad featuring Sydney Sweeney. Trump raged incoherently in his typically rambling style that touched on several unrelated subjects. What follows are a few annotated excerpts.

“Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the ‘HOTTEST’ ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are ‘flying off the shelves.'”
In fact, Trump likely has no idea who Sweeney is. He definitely has no idea how “HOT” the ad is or if the jeans are selling well.

“Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad.”
Once again, Trump is talking out of his asinine perspective that has no basis in reality. Jaguar’s CEO reigned as long planned after 35 years at the company. And many people still regard the car as the peak of luxury and performance.

“Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST.”
For the record, Bud Lite and Anheuser-Busch is hardly “destroyed.” Its stock (BUD) briefly declined in 2023, following a controversial ad with a trans woman. But it recovered by the end of that year. It’s still higher today, even after Trump’s tariffs triggered another decline.

“Look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can’t stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT.”
No one except Trump’s glassy-eyed cult followers care what he says about Taylor Swift. She was never “booed out of the Super Bowl.” And she is a billionaire superstar who as “HOT” today as ever.

Trump closed his harangue by ranting that “Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.” In other words, remain blissfully ignorant (un-woke), and blindly obey the edicts of my MAGA party or be cast into the cornfield. Trump thinks he can make being Republican cool by embracing clothing commercials and attacking cars and beer and popular artists.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Keep it up Donnie. That will surely entice America’s voters. But seriously, after posts like this, it remains an enduring mystery how anyone can support this mentally defective whiner who epitomizes everything that cool aint.

Trump Calls Charlamagne Tha God a ‘Low IQ’ ‘Racist Sleazebag’ During Lara Trump’s Fox News Show

Posted by Mark NC on August 3, 2025 at 12:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The fragility of Donald Trump’s massive and unbridled ego creates a startling abundance of episodes wherein he displays his most infantile behavioral defects. He simply cannot abide even the most delicate criticism or any departure from unvarnished, slobbering adoration. The result is often hysterical meltdowns that say so much more about Trump than whatever he is babbling about.

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

Trump’s malignant narcissism drives pretty much every action he takes, whether personal or political. He lashes out petulantly at his perceived enemies with the vile determination of an eight year old bully trying to domineer his six year old victims. And it is all the more pathetic considering that his attacks are futile and lathered in lame.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Trump was awake and fuming over what he witnessed on the latest episode of his daughter-in-law’s Fox News program, “My View with Lara Trump.” Ordinarily she books confirmed members of the Cult of Trump, such as Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Byron Donalds, Susan Wiles, and of course Papa Don. But on this occasion Lara must have disappointed her Crybaby-in-Law by inviting Charlamagne Tha God on for an interview. And he let it be known in a post on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Lara began the discussion predictably by taking swipes at The View and Stephen Colbert, whom he takes credit for getting canceled. Lara continued saying that “When you build your entire show around sneering at half the country,” she whined, “audiences eventually tune out.” Does she even listen to herself? What does she think Fox News does all day, every day, sneering at far more than half the country?

Lara followed that up by complimenting Charlamagne for his willingness to entertain diverse viewpoints. Something that Papa Trump would surely frown upon. In fact, the entire interview was pretty tame and surprisingly friendly. However, there were just enough mildly critical remarks to trigger a Trump tantrum. For instance, Charlamagne said that…

“I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do, I think they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn’t letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take the party back and not piss off the MAGA base.”

This was all it took to set Trump off. Trump was surely upset with the reference to his pedophile pal, Jeffrey Epstein. In his response he revealed just how butthurt he was because Charlamagne made a few comments that weren’t unflinchingly worshipful. Trump posted that…

“The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne ‘The God’ (Why is he allowed to use the word ‘GOD’ when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done.”

Then Trump rattled off a long list of alleged “accomplishments” that exist only in his overactive imagination, including ending several wars, closing the border, and bringing down inflation and consumer prices. And naturally, he wraps up with gratuitous and vindictive insults aimed at President Biden and Kamala Harris…

“…where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER. But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala?”

First of all, it’s Charlamagne “THA” God. Secondly, mentally failing Trump doesn’t finish his thought on where Lara “put” Charlamagne. Third, Lara’s ratings merely reflect the average that Fox News brings in on a Saturday night. Fourth, he frequently refers to himself in messianic terms.

However, the most disturbing part of that harangue was Trump’s blatantly racist and demeaning assertions that Charlamagne is a “low IQ” “racist sleazebag.” It’s hard to discern from Charlamagne’s remarks why Trump thinks that he’s a racist. Except that Trump regularly calls Black people racists just because they’re Black.

What’s more, Trump’s insult that Charlamagne has a “low IQ” is one that he commonly aims at Blacks, including Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc. In Trump’s mind if you are a liberal and Black you are automatically a low IQ racist.

During the interview Charlamagne also said that he would like to see Jon Stewart run for president in 2028. Which makes this a good time to remember his segment on the Daily Show when he checked off the Mayo Clinic’s list dementia symptoms that Trump is suffering from.

UPDATE: Charlamagne has responded to what Trump said about him.

Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

Posted by Mark NC on August 2, 2025 at 1:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The lengths that MAGA media will go to exalt Donald Trump seem to be stretching ever further into the stratosphere of slobbering sycophancy. When Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any support, many people thought it was a gross exaggeration for effect. It turns out he was understating the degree of worshipfulness that Trump’s cult followers are capable of.

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

The continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and his unsavory relationship with Trump is proving to be revealing on many levels. It is showcasing Trump’s affinity for pedophiles, as well as his own perverse lechery. It is putting on display how brazenly he will lie and suppress any information that might expose his grotesque behavior. And it is giving the Trump-fluffing press endless opportunities to suck up to him while burying any potentially incriminating facts. Even so, he is not doing himself any favors.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Among the Trumpiest media venues is Newsmax, where its prime host, Greg Kelly, holds court every night to lavish praise on Dear Leader. And his fierce defense for Trump during the Epstein scandal is second-to-none for unabashed adoration. On Friday night’s program, Kelly addressed Trump’s tender feelings toward Epstein partner, and convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, to whom he had sent his “best wishes” when she was arrested.

More recently Trump was questioned about his Justice Department sending his former personal attorney, now Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to interview Maxwell in prison. The inquiries included whether he would grant Maxwell a pardon. Instead of the rational and decent response – an unqualified “Hell no!” – Trump replied “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon.” It was revealed shortly thereafter that the Trump regime had Maxwell transferred from the federal prison in Florida to a cushy, minimum security facility in Texas.

In the midst of these events Newsmax’s Kelly delivered a monologue that should produce a severe state of nausea in principled people. After this aberrent episode, the network might want to consider renaming itself “NewsMaxwell.” Kelly gushed…

“Oh boy. There he is again. Jeffrey Epstein…He pled guilty to that horrible, sick stuff. But that doesn’t mean that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty. And there is a hell of a lot of evidence out there that she’s innocent. And a hell of a lot of evidence that they railroaded her. Part of a “deep state,” hysterical media plot. And I don’t like it. And I don’t care if it’s unpopular. In fact, I’m really kind of impressed with Trump right now, that he won’t be boxed in when it comes to this story.”

This Newsmax freak is not only defending Trump, he's defending convicted child sex trafficker, and Jeffrey Epstein partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.Because if you're a Trump defender you are by default a pedophile defender.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-02T16:55:33.425Z

It’s true that Epstein’s crimes don’t mean that Maxwell is guilty. What makes Maxwell guilty is that she was convicted unanimously by a jury after considering the evidence and applying the law. Kelly’s assertion that there is “a lot of evidence out there that she is innocent” is pure garbage. And notably, he didn’t bother to cite any of that allegedly abundant evidence.

However, what really makes Kelly’s rant abhorrent is how he connects it to Trump. Kelly is “impressed” that Trump refuses to “be boxed in” simply because Maxwell was convicted on the strength of convincing documentary evidence and witness testimony against her. What courage Trump is showing in Kelly’s glassy-eyed view.

Much of the MAGA media shares Kelly’s perverse perspective. But they aren’t particularly confident about it. They are so afraid trying to support their position that have virtually banished most reporting about Maxwell and Epstein. For instance, this week Fox News spent only about 18 minutes reporting on Epstein, but 181 minutes on a Sydney Sweeney jeans advertisement.

Between Monday and Thursday, Fox News mentioned Sydney Sweeney 181 times, and Jeffrey Epstein 18 times.

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter.bsky.social) 2025-08-01T14:52:03.740Z

Meanwhile, Trump is busy making matters worse for himself. On another Newsmax program the same day, Trump was interviewed by Rob Finnerty. During that segment Trump described how much he lusts after his Propaganda Secretary, Karolina Leavitt. And if this doesn’t make your skin crawl, you might ant to consult a mental health professional…

OMG! "THOSE LIPS. THE WAY THEY MOVE!"Trump is letting the world see his grotesque lust for his 26 year old Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.How can anyone watch this and not be creeped out by this wrinkled perv?

WHUT? The RNC Brags About Trump ‘Making Automobiles Great Again’ By Tweeting a Russian-Made Car

Posted by Mark NC on August 1, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 0 Comments :

If anyone is worried about the Republican Party outsmarting Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, you can put your minds at rest. The Party is demonstrating that it is just as confused, ignorant, and oblivious to reality as their Confounder-in-Chief, Donald Trump. They are faithfully emulating the behavior of their Dear Leader to achieve maximum humiliation.

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

For several weeks Trump and his White House cronies have been trying to hype a blatantly fabricated “scandal” having to do with an alleged “Deep State” conspiracy by Democrats to frame Trump for colluding with Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. They are accusing everyone from President Obama to Hillary Clinton to the entirety of the U.S. intelligence community, of collaborating in this ludicrous scheme, despite having no evidence whatsoever.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Of course, this escalation of baseless scandal mongering is just their latest effort to deflect from the continuing saga of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his unsavory relationship with Trump. They are desperate to make this story go away, but it is more resilient than a horror movie axe murderer who can’t be killed. Because the American people want answers to the questions that Trump et al are too scared to provide.

However, the Republicans aren’t doing themselves any favors with their recent campaign to change the subject. On Friday morning the official Twitter/X account for the Republican National Committee posted a comment saying “The One Big Beautiful bill will drive the return of the great American car.” That message appeared above a picture of Trump standing in front of car with the caption: “Making Automobiles Great Again”.

There was just one little problem. The car in the picture was not made in America. It wasn’t made in Mexico, or Canada, or Europe, or Asia either. It was made decades ago in Russia. No, really…

HOLY CRAP!The official GOP Twitter/X account: "Making Automobiles Great Again. x.com/GOP/status/1…The Community Note: "The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car."

Note the correction appended in the Community Note below the tweet that says, “The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car.” Anyone with a functioning cerebellum would have known that just by looking at it. But apparently, that leaves out operatives at the RNC.

It is also notable that this epic blunder by the RNC was posted on the same day that Trump endorsed the current chairman of the RNC, Michael Whatley, for the open Senate seat in North Carolina. Trump’s endorsement was made on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, and said that this is…

“Great news for North Carolina! Michael Whatley, one of the most capable executives in our Country, who successfully ran, along with Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee, has launched his run for the United States Senate!”

Great news indeed. For Democrats. If Whatley is one of the RNC’s “most capable executives,” you do not want to run into one of their boneheaded slackers. Such as Lara Trump, who briefly considered running for the seat herself. Depending on the outcome of party primaries, Whatley would be running against Roy Cooper, the popular former two-term governor of North Carolina.

When you consider all of the possible mistakes that they could have made when putting this propaganda tweet together, it boggles the mind how they wound up with Trump doing his YMCA dance in front of a Russian car. The conspiracy crackpots on the right might suspect that there is mole in the RNC who is deliberately sabotaging Trump by further aligning him with Russia and his good pal and role model, Vladimir Putin.

However, these things happen too often for that excuse to be plausible. There would have to be an army of moles. It is much easier to explain by just accepting the fact that they are a confederacy of dunces, inadvertently sabotaging themselves.

Trump Congratulates OAN for Getting ‘Millions of New Viewers’ That They Didn’t Actually Get

Posted by Mark NC on July 31, 2025 at 2:52 pm. 0 Comments :

People often forget that Donald Trump was in the television business for many years. In fact, that was likely his primary source of income, since his real estate ventures were failures, including four casinos that went bankrupt. Think about it… No real “billionaire” would have the time or inclination to host a reality TV game show for fourteen seasons unless he needed the money.

Ordinarily, someone with that sort of experience in the TV business would learn something about it. But there is nothing ordinary about Trump. His inability to process and retain information is exhibited on a daily basis in his bizarre and incoherent ramblings on subjects having to do with his current grift: the presidency of the United States. What he has learned about that business would fit onto a used gum wrapper.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

On Thursday morning Trump let his cult followers on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, know just how ignorant he is about his prior profession. He posted a comment about the growing prospects of the One America News Network saying that…

“OAN is making a huge comeback, with millions of new viewers. Congratulations to OAN and all of those who worked so hard to get you there!”

Notice that Trump doesn’t bother to cite any source for that congratulatory statement. Like most of what he says, it is either misinterpreted, grossly exaggerated, or utterly false. Pathological liars don’t need facts to support their fabrications. And if they have devoted disciples like the MAGA minions, it hardly matters. They will believe whatever he tells them to believe.

What Trump is likely referring to is that Spectrum recently added OAN to its channel lineup, making it available to millions of Spectrum subscribers. That doesn’t mean that any of them actually watched it. It’s like a restaurant adding a shit sandwich to the menu. That doesn’t mean anyone is going to order one.

Nielsen doesn’t track OAN’s audience because it is too small to register. They did briefly in 2019 and found an average of only about 14,000 viewers. Since then OAN lost distribution on major cable networks such as Verizon Fios and DirecTV. So it’s difficult to suggest that their viewership has increased since then.

Nevertheless, this is what Trump regards as a “huge comeback” worthy of a glowing, public congratulation. But no matter what Trump says, he still can’t manage to get his flock to abandon Fox News. Not that he hasn’t tried…

Trump didn’t mention another source of potential new viewers for OAN: The Voice of America. In May, Kari Lake, who is currently serving as Trump’s special advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), announced a partnership with OAN to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio Martí, and Voice of America (VOA).

The usurpation of these networks by Trump’s propaganda regime completely destroys their intended purpose to broadcast honest and reliable news into countries where it is otherwise prohibited. And delivering OAN’s notoriously untrustworthy programming to the world can only result in humiliation for the U.S. The network has been – and is being – sued for its false reporting. However, in an ironic twist, Trump has also presided over the defunding of the USAGM and directed his team to put their staffs on leave. So there may be no one to implement the OAN broadcasts.

What’s more, Trump’s efforts to dismantle the USAGM are being challenged in court where the funds allocated by Congress, and the original staff of real journalists, could be reinstated. In the meantime, Trump can be expected to continue disseminating lies and decreeing mandates that weaken the free press. But the only new viewers that OAN will gain in any of this will be in Trump’s fertile imagination.

Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

Posted by Mark NC on July 30, 2025 at 2:35 pm. 4 Comments :

The perpetual state of rage that envelopes Donald Trump is documented in the stream of incoherence that he dispenses daily on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It is an uninterrupted temper tantrum that manifests in an outpouring of insults, lies, and shameless self-exaltation.

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

These days Trump is placing extra emphasis on his rants in order to deflect from news about his unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday morning he suffered a particularly acute episode of explosive diarhetoric as he pounded out 37 putrid posts in the early hours of his day, rather than engage in any of the work that one might expect of a president. That’s a typical schedule for Trump, who is generally more focused on what’s pissing him off, instead of what’s pertinent to the needs of the American people. He always puts himself and his massive yet fragile ego first.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

The onslaught of invective from Trump on this occasion began with a tired rehash of his hatred for Stephen Colbert. Trump complained that…

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT. […] Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon.”

Actually, it was Trump and his cronies who were giving him credit for the cancelation of Colbert’s show. And Trump is the last person who should be assessing the talent of others. For the record, Colbert’s show is number one in its time period. The cancelation, which isn’t effective until May of 2026, is due only to the cowardly compliance of the network’s corporate masters.

Next up was Trump’s visceral animosity toward a strong woman on Fox News who dared to criticize the blubbering snowflake Trump. He whined that…

“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!! DJT”

That’s it. Trump didn’t bother to give any reason for this outburst. It might have had something to do with Tarlov having spoken out Tuesday on matters related to the inflationary Trump Tax (tariffs), or to Trump’s historically abysmal approval polling, or to her advocacy for assault rifle regulations in the wake of a mass shooting in Manhattan.

Trump simply can’t tolerate any criticism. But it’s monumentally worse if it comes from a woman. Trump has gone after Tarlov before, calling her a “failed TV personality” who Fox News should not allow on the air. Even on a program (“The five”) where she is outnumbered four-to-one. For the record, Tarlov has a doctorate in political science and government from the London School of Economics. So it’s no wonder that Trump is afraid of her.

The majority of Trump’s posts expressed his tyrannical demand that Republicans in the Senate rush to confirm his judicial nominees. He singled out Sen. Chuck Grassley for failing to overcome Democratic opposition via use of the “blue slip” that allows members of both parties to invoke a virtual veto of a nominee. But Trump resorted to his standard viciousness, saying “Democrats like Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, Schiff, and others, SLEAZEBAGS ALL.” He called the process “unconstitutional” and a “hoax” (of course), and lied that it would prevent him from ever getting a nominee confirmed…

“…in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, and other places, where there is, coincidentally, the highest level of crime and corruption.”

For the record, the highest levels of crime and corruption are almost entirely in red states.

Among Trump’s postings were several that were just rabidly partisan memes. They contained messages that reflected the hatred that he has for fellow Americans. But worse, he was exhibiting his most fascistic aspirations by calling for the persecution of his political foes. For instance…

This morning Trump posted these comments calling for the arrest and incarceration (and worse) of Democrats.This is more evidence of his authoritarian aspirations and aversion to hatred for democracy. #TrumpIsAFascist

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-30T17:21:37.228Z

All of this is more evidence of the sociopathic sickness that courses through Trump’s veins. He is a bitter, hostile, vengeful, malignant narcissist, who should never be entrusted with power. And the sooner he is removed from office the better off the nation – and the world – will be.

Attorney General Pam Bondi Charges Judge Who Dared to Rule Against Trump with Misconduct

Posted by Mark NC on July 29, 2025 at 2:58 pm. 0 Comments :

There has never been an American president who is so averse to the principles and values of the United States and its Constitution than the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump. He is almost always embroiled in some sort of legal warfare with government agencies, civil liberties advocates, the free press, or other institutions that protect the rights of the American people.

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

In the first six months of Trump’s second term he has bullied law firms into paying millions to avoid the retribution of his government thuggery; he has pushed legislation to defund public service organizations such as Planned Parenthood, USAID, and PBS/NPR; and he has threatened media enterprises into submission in order to advance their corporate ambitions.

Also on Trump’s radar has been the American judiciary. He has actually gone to the extremes of having judges that he disapproves of arrested. And now he has directed his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to go after a federal judge because he has not bent to the will of Dear Leader or ruled blindly and obediently in his favor. As reported by Democracy Docket…

“Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a misconduct complaint against a federal judge overseeing high-profile lawsuits against the Trump administration, escalating President Donald Trump’s ongoing assault on the judiciary.

“The DOJ issued the complaint over comments that James Boasberg, the chief district judge in Washington, D.C., made during a judicial conference with Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal judges earlier this year.”

The alleged misconduct in the filing asserted that Boasberg improperly tried to influence Roberts. However, the conversations they had were entirely appropriate and in the furtherance of justice. But none of that matters to Bondi or Trump. The only thing that they are interested in is punishing those who fail to kiss Trump’s – let’s say ring – and submit to his authority. And also to get honest, independent judges removed from any of Trump cases, and even potentially impeached.

This action against Judge Boasberg is not meant only to punish him, but also to warn any other judges, who might be considering being impartial and law-abiding, that doing so will put them at risk as well. Although that would keep the Trump regime awfully busy. Trump’s disregard for the law has already resulted in an unprecedented statistic for a presidential litigant…

“The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford.

“Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judges.”

It is also notable that the outrage of Trump and Bondi against the judiciary is distinctly partisan. They couldn’t care less about the prejudices of judges who are loyal to Dear Leader, including those on the Supreme Court. As observed in a detailed editorial in The Bulwark by Philip Lacovara (former deputy solicitor general of the United States, counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor, and president of the D.C. Bar)…

“In regularly voting in favor of President Trump—often in extraordinary interventions that short-circuit traditional judicial processes—those six [Supreme Court] justices are racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import.”

[And that] “Donald Trump and his administration will have to face the verdict of history. And so will his six enablers on the Supreme Court who have been complicit in eroding the constitutional ideal of constrained executive power and creating a virtually omnipotent presidency.”

Hopefully Bondi’s misconduct charges against Judge Boasberg will fall into the dustbin of history where they belong. But the efforts of Trump and his comrades must be struck down today and remembered forever as assaults on democracy and freedom. America cannot be allowed to devolve into the totalitarian dictatorship to which Trump aspires.
