Trump’s Anti-American ‘Enemies From Within’ Comment was ‘Speaking From the Heart’ per JD Vance

Every liar has a tell. And Donald Trump is no exception. For those interested in the secret indicator that reveals when Trump is engaging in blatant bullshittery, look for this unfailing signal that he sends every time he is deliberately deceitful: Are his lips moving? That’s all the experienced truth-seeker needs to know to spot when Trump is spinning yarns.

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

As Election Day draws nearer, Trump is unloading ever more flagrant falsehoods whose distance from reality is growing exponentially by the hour. His desperation is driving him to concoct increasingly bizarre tales intended to invoke fear among his glassy-eyed cult disciples. In Trump’s most recent rants there are more murderous migrants, more conniving communists, and all manner of monsters lurking in every shadow. Most of whom he says are fellow citizens who dare to disagree with him.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

On Fox News Monday morning, Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, was interviewed by Bill Hemmer. And the discussion addressed some recent comments Trump made about Americans who he has deemed “the enemy from within.” According to Trump, these are not clandestine figures who have embedded themselves in our communities waiting to pounce. Nope. They are his political foes who can be our family, friends, neighbors, and even elected representatives.

Trump told Fox News’ Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, that these imaginary scoundrels “should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So Trump is now promising to use the U.S. military against American citizens who don’t support him. This emerging threat sparked the following exchange on Fox between Vance and Hemmer…

Hemmer: He’s asked about this ‘enemies within’ comment. And I’ve read all of it. I’ve listened to all of it. It’s hard for me to know what he really means about it. But that’s not my question. My question is ‘Why is that necessary’?
Vance: Well, first of all, Donald Trump is unfiltered. I think it’s one of the reasons the campaign has gone well is because he’s not doing a basic campaign strategy. He’s not just running on slogans. When people ask him questions he speaks from the heart. And sometimes that means he’s gonna talk about issues that the mainstream media isn’t focused on.

So according to Vance, maligning fellow American citizens – even those serving in elected offices – as “enemies” is okay because it comes from Trump’s alleged heart? Never mind that there is no rational way to justify the accusation. It’s purely a derogatory and childish insult that has long been a core defect evident in Trump’s severe personality disorder. And that’s from the heart, as well as documented by psychiatric health professionals, including his niece, Mary Trump.

Vance says that Trump “isn’t running on slogans.” You mean like “enemies from within,” “build the wall,” “drill, baby, drill,” “lock her up,” “make America great again,” etc. And Vance defends Trump by claiming that he is “unfiltered.” That’s a fault, not a virtue, for civic leaders who ought to have refined diplomatic skills in order to be effective.

However, Trump’s unfiltered state has provided some grotesque examples of his rancid mindset that makes him utterly unfit to serve in any office. Such as, just this week, his calling Kamala Harris a “sh*t” Vice-President, and his fixation on Arnold Palmer’s junk, and that January 6th was a “day of beauty and love.” Do we really want a leader who is that unfiltered?

Vance never actually answered Hemmer’s question about why it would be necessary for Trump to use such preposterously provocative language. He just offered his obsequious defense and asserted that Trump was right to say these things because they are from his heart. Which, in its own way, is informative and useful. Because, if for no other reason, it tells us something about the sickly condition of Trump’s heart.

On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a ‘Day of Love’ and Doubles Down on Pet Eating

Posted by on October 20, 2024 at 4:06 pm. 5 Comments :

The depths of the derangement of Donald Trump is almost to severe to measure. And as each day brings the election closer to its conclusion, Trump seems to be venturing farther out on the limb of sanity. In recent days he has resorted to rambling discourses on the size of Arnold Palmer’s manhood, and profane insults directed at his opponent, Kamala Harris.

Given the bizarre content of his rancid rants, it is hardly surprising that he constrains his public appearances to exclusively MAGA-friendly media where he knows that he won’t face any humiliating situations such as those pesky fact-checks. To that end, cowardly Trump has visited Fox News nine times in just the past month. That’s about twice a week. Within that same time frame he has declined bookings with everyone from 60 Minutes to the NRA. Which is not the best way to expand voter outreach beyond those who are already locked in.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Has Retreated to the Safety of His Fox News Bunker While Canceling Other Media

On Sunday morning Trump made another appearance on Fox News. This time with their alleged media correspondent, Howard Kurtz. This interview produced nothing more than any of the others with sycophants like Sean Hannity and Maria Bartiromo. Although Kurtz did ask a couple of questions that were marginally more challenging for Trump. The problem is that Trump still failed to give rational replies. For instance, on the subject of the deadly January 6th insurrection that he incited…

Kurtz: The other day you called it a “day of love.” And it sparked a lot of reaction with given that many police officers were attacked, and there were mobs shouting “hang Mike Pence.” Can you understand why many Americans would view it as a dark and tragic day in our history?
Trump: The crowd I spoke before, which you rarely see, was the biggest crowd I’ve ever spoke to. and I’ve spoken to the biggest crowds. I’ve never seen that many people…A small group went down to the Capitol. They came because they though it was a rigged election. This was a protest against a rigged election…And there was a beauty to it and a love to it that I’ve never seen before.

Notice that Trump ignored the question asking if he could “understand why many Americans would view it as a dark and tragic day.” Since Trump is incapable of understanding much of anything, he detoured to his self-absorbed obsession with crowd size. Never mind that his claims on that are flagrantly false. It was his way of segueing to a defense of the insurrectionists who he said was “a small number.”

Actually, there were several thousand, of which more than 1,200 were arrested, and over 800 of those have already been convicted. Over 700 of them pleaded guilty. These are people that Trump has called “patriots” and “warriors,” and whom he has pledged to pardon if reelected.

Trump’s response never even mentioned the 140 police officers who were hospitalized, or the threat to his own vice-president, Mike Pence. But he did offer his opinion that this horrific day had, in his warped view “a beauty to it and a love to it.” I’m sure that Jeffrey Dahmer thought the same thing about his activities.

Kurtz also asked Trump about his claims that Haitian migrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. Trump managed to double down on the ridiculous and thoroughly debunked allegation, while simultaneously admitting that he doesn’t know anything about it.

Kurtz: You said you were just reporting what had been said, But why not say now ‘Look, that turned out not to be true…
Trump: [Interrupting] I don’t know if it’s true or not true.
Kurtz: You don’t know? It’s been debunked by local officials.
Trump: What about the goose, the geese? What about the geese? What happened there? They were all missing. I have no idea. I said something.
Kurtz: There was one goose…
Trump: [Interrupting] Howie, I have no idea. I said something. […] But that’s a story that was reported. And I said that, but why don’t you go after the newspaper that wrote it? Don’t don’t, – don’t blame me.
Kurtz: Well, I think it’s been debunked by local officials.
Trump: I don’t think it’s been debunked at all. I think nobody talks about it, except you.

So Trump said several times the he has “no idea” what he’s talking about. Which is something that impartial observers have noticed for years. But even after acknowledging that ignorance, he isn’t swayed from insisting that his wild and hurtful accusations are correct.

Trump thinks that because something was reported by any nutcase with zero proof or credibility, that he is entitled to repeat it for his cult disciples, even after it has been determined to be utterly false. That’s the state of dementia that has overtaken both Trump and his cult. And voters need to make an unambiguous statement between now and November 5th that we are not falling for it.

Scaredy Trump Has Retreated to the Safety of His Fox News Bunker While Canceling Other Media

Posted by on October 19, 2024 at 3:30 pm. 3 Comments :

As Election Day draws nearer, the status of the competing campaigns is evident in their activities. Kamala Harris has been fanning out across the country – focusing particularly on the critical swing states – and blitzing the media with strategic appearances on a broad diversity of national and local news outlets, including Fox News.

Donald Trump Fox News

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been sequestering himself within his MAGA media bubble, refusing to appear anywhere that might present the slightest challenge, and canceling previously agreed upon interviews. He has already nixed appearances on 60 Minutes, NBC News, CNBC, and even an NRA conference.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

Trump’s fear is palpable. but his judgment is probably sound, even if wholly inadvertent. After all, he is utterly incapable of completing a rational thought, expressing an intelligent opinion, or avoiding humiliating gaffes. His own staff has said that his curtailed schedule is due to his becoming exhausted. That’s a bad look for a near octogenarian, with noticeable signs of cognitive decline, who is seeking one of the hardest jobs in the world.

However, Trump has shown up for a few interviews where he is guaranteed not to face any confrontational questions or suffer the indignity of being fact-checked. And most of those have been with his very own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. In just the past month Trump has visited with such dependable Fox News Trump-fluffers as…

  • Sean Hannity
  • Laura Ingraham
  • Brian Kilmeade
  • Greg Gutfeld
  • Maria Bartiromo
  • Larry Kudlow
  • Fox and Friends
  • Harris Faulkner
  • And this coming Sunday, Howard Kurtz

That’s a superstar line up of fiercely partisan MAGA devotees who have spent the last couple of years proselytizing for the Cult of Trump. The frequency of Trump’s visits averages out to twice a week. This is an unprecedented relationship between a so-called “news” network and a political candidate. Trump might as well have his own graphics and theme music to accompany his programs.

What makes Trump’s hiding out at Fortress Fox so preposterous at this time is that it can’t possibly benefit his campaign. He’s speaking to an audience that is already committed to voting for him. So while Harris is out in the field rounding up every vote she she can, Trump is preaching to his hideously off-key choir.

Something else that makes this peculiar is that, despite his constant presence, Trump has also been blasting Fox News for being less than unconditionally worshipful of him. That sort of waffling is intolerable to Trump. For some recent examples…

“Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors…You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

More to Trump’s liking was the interview he did with Maria Bartiromo where he made his abhorrent threat to use the U.S. military against American citizens who disagree with him. He later doubled down on that threat during a town hall/infomercial that Fox News aired with host Harris Faulkner…

For the next three weeks we can expect more of the same. Trump will continue to be too afraid to sit for any real interviews, or to debate Kamala Harris. But he will still grace his Fox flunkies with his lying, demented, presence knowing that they will never point out his mental defects, ignorance, or dishonesty. Most of the country knows that Trump is unfit to serve in any office. Here’s hoping that enough of them will turn out to vote between now and November 5th.

As the 2024 presidential race winds down to its final three weeks, Kamala Harris is blanketing the nation – and particularly the critical swing states – to shore up support and persuade undecided voters that she is the only alternative if we are to preserve American democracy and the principles of the Constitution that we revere.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is cowering in the safety of his MAGA media bubble, refusing to expose himself to any real questions, and even canceling events at friendly venues, including one with the NRA. It’s hard to determine if this behavior is due to his cowardice or his laziness or, most likely, both.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

On Friday morning Trump made another visit to a group of the most devoted Trump-fluffers on Fox News, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It’s a program that is a favorite of his for phone-in interviews in his jammies, where he knows that he won’t be challenged by any substantive questions or embarrassed by any fact checks. So it’s just the sort of safe space he’s limiting himself to as Election Day drays nearer.

On this occasion Trump was greeted with the customary welcome from hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley, Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade. Whereupon he launched into a sob session sparked by what he regards as treason by the his Ministry of Propaganda. Trump whined that…

“In the old days, you never played negative ads. In other words, when I leave here, I’ll then be hit by five or six ads…When I leave, I’ll have 12 people from Kamala on, and pretty much unopposed. For 19 days I don’t think we should do that anymore. I think you shouldn’t play negative ads. It’s very tough. You do a show – and I complain all the time. I love complaining. I like to have everything perfect. But when I leave here 200 people from…by the time you do it you say ‘What are you doing?’ It’s sort of a net neutral”

That’s right. Trump is big mad that Fox News dares to interview people who are not bona fide disciples of the Trump cult. In his warped mind, Fox is obligated to book only guests who will exalt Dear Leader without exception. And that’s not all. Trump is also upset that Fox News will sell advertising time to Democrats who might have cause to criticize him.

Trump is, in effect, revealing that his idea of what Fox News is there for is to advance his interests at all times. He may have gotten that impression because that’s precisely what they have been doing for years. However, should they waver in that mission now, they become just another enemy and a propagator of “fake news.” And this isn’t the first time that Trump has made these feelings known…

SEE ALSO: Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

However, there is no need for the MAGA-nuts to worry. Trump is taking matters into his own hands to correct this wayward shifting of sentiments. As the segment was wrapping up, Trump told his F&F pals that…

“I’m going to see Rupert Murdoch. That’s a big event. I don’t know if he’s thrilled that I say it. And I’m going to tell him, I’m going to tell him something very simple – because I can’t talk to anybody else about it – ‘Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days, don’t put them — and don’t put on the air their horrible people.’ They come and lie. I’m going to say, ‘Rupert, please do it this way,'”

Murdoch may or may not be amenable to Trump’s request. On one hand, he’ll want to please Trump, who he is ideologically aligned with, and who is the object of blind adoration by most the network’s viewers. On the hand hand, Murdoch won’t want to turn away ad dollars that offered to him, or lose access to Democratic power brokers in Washington. What’s more, he may be a little perturbed with Trump for bashing his network and it’s executives.

It is unlikely that Fox News will do anything to anger Trump. They rely on his cult followers for ratings, which translate into ad revenue. But it’s notable that Trump is so comfortable going on a Fox program and griping about how they aren’t being subservient enough to him. And of course, none of the Couch potatoes had any objection to his him kvetching in their faces. They know their place.

Trump Slams Fox News Shortly After Gushing Over Bret Baier’s Hostile Interview of Kamala Harris

Posted by on October 17, 2024 at 2:20 pm. NO Comments :

The list of mental infirmities that Donald Trump suffers from seems to get longer with each passing day. He has been credibly diagnosed as a narcissist, a sociopath, as emotionally stunted, and a pathological liar, to name just a few. And then there’s his paranoia, anxiety, and delusions of both grandeur and victimization.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Now we can add Cognitive Dissonance Disorder, a condition wherein the subject holds two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. The symptoms of this malady exhibited by Trump were evident in his recent comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was reacting to the programs he was watching on Fox News, the network that he alternatively regards as his Ministry of Propaganda, or just another “fake news” enterprise that is determined to destroy him. In Trump’s mind, all Fox programs must be tailored to exalt him. Such as…

SEE THIS: Fox News Hosts a MAGA-Only ‘Town Hall’ that is Actually a Lie-Riddled Trump Campaign Infomercial

Late Wednesday night Trump posted a comment that lauded the network and its allegedly “hard news” anchor, Bret Baier, for the hit job he did on Kamala Harris (full interview here). Trump was effusive in his praise saying…

“Great job by Bret Baier in his Interview with Lyin’ Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. […] For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!”

It’s no wonder that Trump loved the interview where Baier spent most of his time badgering and interrupting Harris. She could barely get a complete sentence out before Baier would jump in to prevent her from getting her point across. For example…

That went on for twenty minutes. And throughout, Harris kept her composure and still managed to express herself effectively. Not that that matters so much to the Fox News audience that is primed to attack whatever she says, no matter how reasonable and compelling. And in this case, she had to do it while dodging the obstacles that Baier kept throwing in her path.

Trump also lashed out at Harris for having what he called “inferior Cognitive ability.” Which is just another of Trump’s psychotic afflictions, known as “projection.” While Harris has never shown any hint of cognitive decline, Trump can barely complete a thought without diverging into bizarre absurdities that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. His demand that she take a cognitive test is hysterical. Although, she might want to agree to it if he will. Which he won’t.

MORE HERE: Trump, Who Refuses to Release Medical Records, Calls for Kamala Harris to Take a Cognitive Test

A few hours after posting the comment swooning over Baier’s interview, Trump posted another comment that had an entirely different tone. This time he blasted the network’s CEO, Suzanne Scott, asking…

“Why does Suzanne Scott of FoxNews keep putting on third rate ‘talking heads’ like Jessica Tarlov, Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, ‘something’ Wolf, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and other Radical Left Lunatics that lie, and make up statements.” […]

“[N]ot a moment goes by when I’m not looking at negative, false Ads that the other camp stuffs the Fox airwaves with. If I win…it is DESPITE Fox, not because of them!”

Once again, Trump is acting out his psychoses by accusing every Fox News commentator that isn’t an indoctrinated member of his cult, of being a “Radical Left Lunatic” who lies. He has stated repeatedly that Fox should never allow anyone on their air who isn’t a devoted MAGA disciple. that includes pundits on the Fox payroll, as well as politicos invited on as guests.

SEE ALSO: Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

So in the course of less than half a day, Trump expressed both his love and hatred for Fox News. Which raises a couple of pertinent questions. First, What the f**k is wrong with him? Trump is utterly incapable of maintaining a consistent, coherent thought. And second, what the f**k is wrong with Fox News? Why would they allow Trump to castigate their network so bitterly and still remain so faithful to him?

It’s the same sort of fear-based response that members of the Republican Party have. The GOP and Fox News are both terrified of alienating Trump and his glassy-eyed cult followers. And Trump is afraid that people will see through his cheesy facade and discover that he’s fraud and a coward. But all of them are going to find out that their charades cannot be sustained for long.

Fox News already found out, or should have, when they settled a defamation lawsuit for 3/4 of a billion dollars. And Trump’s time of reckoning may be come as soon as November 5th, if the American people turn out to vote.

Fox News Hosts a MAGA-Only ‘Town Hall’ that is Actually a Lie-Riddled Trump Campaign Infomercial

Posted by on October 16, 2024 at 2:20 pm. 4 Comments :

With only three weeks left until Election Day, Donald Trump is continuing his tour of ultra-friendly media venues where he knows he will be shielded from any difficult questions by the slobbering sycophants who preside over the brazenly partisan love fests. By contrast, Kamala Harris is fanning out across the nation, doing interviews with a wide variety of politically diverse hosts and audiences.

Donald Trump TV Set

However, somehow, even with the benefit of appearing only before adoring cult followers, Trump still manages to humiliate himself by failing to provide coherent responses to comically Nerfball questions. Even worse, he keeps delivering profoundly disturbing messages that affirm his aspirations to become America’s first openly fascist dictator who hates this country and its people.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

On Wednesday morning Trump appeared on what was billed as a Fox News “town hall” that would feature an all woman studio audience and address women’s issues. It was hosted by the network’s notorious Trump-fluffer, Harris Faulkner. But as might be expected, it was actually an hour long Trump campaign infomercial that he got for free, courtesy of his Ministry or Propaganda, where he knew that there wouldn’t be any inquiries that might rattle or confuse him. And yet, they still did.

Since Trump is a feeble and cowardly narcissist who thrives on constant, unflinching adulation, the producers at Fox News made sure that there would be only Trump supporters in the audience. Which made it possible for him to dodge, deflect, lie, and weave, in order to avoid being responsive, or even rational. There has already been a fact check of his infomercial that found at least 19 flagrant falsehoods.

Trump’s derangement was nowhere as evident as in his reply to a question about previous remarks he made where he called Americans who disagreed with him “the enemy within” who were “more dangerous than China and Russia.” He went farther to say that these “radical left lunatics should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So he is proposing to use the military against his political foes. In the town hall/infomercial, Trump doubled down saying that…

“It is the enemy from within. And they are very dangerous. They’re Marxists and communists and fascists, and they’re sick. I use a guy like Adam Schiff. They made up the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. It took two years to solve the problem. Absolutely nothing was done wrong. They are dangerous for our country. We have China, we have Russia, all these countries. If you have a smart president, they can be handled. The more difficult are the Pelosis. These people they are so sick and they are so evil…They were saying I was like threatening. I am not threatening anybody. They are the ones doing the threatening…They’re the threat to democracy.”

No one should be fooled into believing that Trump has the slightest idea what the words Marxist, communist, or fascist mean. He just uses these terms the way a seven year old would use “poopyhead.” But more to the point, Trump is lashing out at Democrats like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi because they revealed his traitorous misconduct that got him impeached twice. He is making it clear that the people he thinks should be “handled” by the military include congressional representatives elected by the voters.

Trump apparently doesn’t see how that kind of hostile rhetoric is threatening. And he has been even more direct in his threats against fellow citizens and the press. He has called Americans who dare to defy him “vermin.” And he calls the press “the enemy of the people.” So make no mistake, if Trump gets his way he will seek to punish those he regards as insufficiently worshipful and, if he deems it “necessary,” he will order the military to round them all up and in some manner dispose of them. And “them” means YOU!

Fox News Trump Flunky Sinks to New Low, Citing Conspiracy Crackpot as an Election News Source

Posted by on October 1, 2024 at 2:20 pm. NO Comments :

Perhaps the least surprising thing about the 2024 presidential election is that Fox News is working furiously to advance the campaign of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions. Shilling for right-wing politicos has been the mission of Fox News from its inception. So why should anyone expect anything different now?

Fox News, Fake News

The blatant dishonesty of Fox News was exposed when they agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for 3/4 of a billion dollars. That settlement came after Dominion obtained hundreds of communications from Fox News executives and hosts revealing their deliberate lies and hypocrisies. But even that didn’t stop them…

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

The latest journey into journalistic disgrace for Fox manages to exceed its prior milestones of mis- and disinformation. Featured in this episode is Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, in her continuing role as a purveyor of pure propaganda. In a segment discussing the prospect of election fraud that Fox and Trump have been imagining is rampant, Bartiromo asks the national Republican Party co-chair, Michael Whatley, a question based on the “reporting” of a bona fide Internet nutjob…

Bartiromo: We want to get your take on whether or not you’ve got confidence there in Arizona because apparently The Gateway Pundit reported that the GOP chairwoman provided an update to allegations that there’s not going to be a fair election there.
Whatley: Well, there is going to be a fair election and we’re working very, very hard with the Arizona GOP. I actually had dinner with the chairwoman last night.

That’s right. Bartiromo has embraced Jim Hoft (aka Gateway Pundit), one of the most universally disreputable conspiracy peddlers on the Internet, as a source for her alleged “news” program. And the information that she draws from Hoft is a quote that he attributes to the chair of the Arizona GOP asserting that the election is already invalidated due to fraud, a month before it has taken place.

With Bartiromo’s adoption of Hoft as a source, Fox News has fully transformed into the status of an Internet Troll Network. They don’t employ any credible journalists, so their dependency on hacks like Hoft was inevitable. But to be fair, he really is no worse than Fox regulars Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends.

However, we can set aside Bartiromo’s guest, Whatley, disputing the charges by Hoft, and assuring Bartiromo that the election is going to be fair. Because it would be foolish to expect that view to stick. If Trump loses in November, the entirety of the GOP outrage machine, including Whatley, Trump, and everyone on Fox News, will be shouting from the rafters that the election was “rigged and stolen.” Just as they are still doing with regard to the 2020 election. In fact, Trump is already doing it. And even he isn’t satisfied with Fox…

The symptoms of malignant narcissism include an obsessive, insatiable craving for constant approval and unflinching adoration.

Consequently, it’s somewhat astonishing that Trump is so frequently upset with Fox News, the network that has made it their mission to advance the interests of Trump and his MAGA GOP movement.

On Tuesday morning Trump headlined another one of his traveling salvation shows to shore up the devotion of his cult disciples. And in the process he delivered a punch to Fox News for failing in their duty to be 100% faithful to Dear Leader. Trump whined…

“You ever notice on Fox…They put me on, I do a great job. And then they follow me with a horrible commercial. I say what the hell is the good of me doing it if you’re…Roger Ailes never allowed bad commercials. What’s the purpose of me doing a nice show and then they put nine horrible commercials on, which are all lies.

“But when they put somebody on that’s good and then they always feel like they have to put somebody on who’s bad. So the net result is neutral. And you say ‘What are you doing it for? You can’t do that.’ Fox should put just the good people on. The people that want to make America great again. They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.”

So Trump believes that a for-profit cable television network should refuse paid advertising if it isn’t unconditionally complementary to Trump. They should reject all ads by his political opponents. And if they don’t, there is no purpose in him gracing the network with his presence. Would he also support MSNBC refusing his ads?

But Trump goes even farther than that. He also believes that Fox News must not invite guest commentators, or interview politicians, who do not represent his point of view. They “should put just the good people on.” By which he means those who are unwaveringly loyal to him. He is arguing that Fox should maintain a radically partisan editorial policy. Which, despite Trump’s complaints, they pretty much already do.

It is interesting that Trump name-checks former Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes, as an exemplar of the reverential toadies that meet with his approval. Ailes was fired by Fox News for repeated sexual harassment. So Trump likely feels a sense of camaraderie with Ailes in that respect, along with his extreme far-right views.

However, Trump made an inadvertent slip with his demand that “They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.” If Fox News complied with that, then Trump himself would be barred from appearances on the network. His entire public persona is a scam. He practices it with both his political ploys and his financial frauds.

Trump’s banishment from the airwaves, and politics, would be the single most effective anti-scam initiative in modern history at – in Trump lingo – a level that was never seen before. But not to worry, MAGA-nauts. Fox News will never willingly abandon their fuehrer. They have too much invested already.

Fox News Lies that Biden Wasn’t at a Cabinet Meeting, Even as Their Own Video Shows Him There

Posted by on September 23, 2024 at 12:59 pm. 4 Comments :

First Lady Jill Biden’s presence at a Cabinet meeting last week has triggered the hypersensitive conspiracy crackpots at Fox News. This is another example of how desperate they are for anything derogatory with which to smear President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Friends

Since the Trump-fluffing propagandists at Fox News can’t find anything of substance to use against Harris, they are increasingly resorting to ridiculous trivialities and outright lies to malign the Democratic ticket. And often their pathetic criticisms are both trivial and false. For example…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Desperately Struggling to Find Dirt on Kamala Harris – Here is What They Found

On Monday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends launched another of their patented disinformation campaigns that are specifically designed to appeal the gullible rubes that comprise the vast majority of their audience. The segment addressed reports that Jill Biden had attended a White House Cabinet meeting.

Unveiling what the hosts – Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones – apparently believe is a bombshell revelation about President Biden and his administration, they engaged in the following exchange…

Doocy: Regarding Jill Biden, maybe she’s saying that because she’s running the country.
Earhardt: Yeah. She was at the cabinet meeting on Friday. She was at the head of the table. Here’s a picture of her. And I was watching Fox and Friends Weekend and I turn on the TV and I see her at the end of the table and I’m, like, where is he [President Biden]? Why isn’t he at this meeting?
Jones: Miranda Devine [of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post] writes ‘Who exactly is running the country.’ Certainly it appears to be Jill Biden and not Joe Biden.”

So Fox “News” is reporting that Biden did not attend his Cabinet meeting. And they forcefully demanded to know where he was and why he wasn’t there. But if they had bothered to watch the video that was playing while they were talking, they would have seen Biden right there at the table. Apparently that was too much to ask of these alleged journalists.

What’s more, Fox reported that the First Lady was seated at the head of the table, which they claimed was evidence that she was running, not merely the meeting, but the whole country. However, Biden’s usual place at such meetings is in the middle of the table, where he sat on this occasion as well. But Fox News was too busy digging for nonexistent dirt to pay any attention to measly things like facts. Even if they are only related to the national security implications of – seating arrangements?

What Fox neglected to report entirely was why the First Lady was there in the first place. It was because the President invited her “to give an update on the White House initiative to fundamentally change how we approach and fund women’s health services.” According to the White House transcript of the event…

“We’re grateful that Jill is here today. And here, across previous administrations, first ladies have attended these meetings and on — for specific reasons. It’s the first time Jill has joined us. And it goes to show how important the issue is, what she’s about to speak to, to both of us.”

Naturally, Fox News doesn’t want to inform their viewers that Biden and Harris are delivering tangible benefits for women. Particularly when MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump have such animosity toward them and openly hold them in contempt.

While the GOP is working to deprive women of critical healthcare, Democrats are making progress expanding those services. And the only thing that Fox News can do in response is to air asinine stories about seating arrangements and the President missing a meeting that he was actually at. And this is what they call “news.”

Wannabe Dictator Trump Threatens to Revoke ABC News Broadcast License in Fox News Interview

Posted by on September 22, 2024 at 1:15 pm. 3 Comments :

The fallout from the ABC News debate with Vice-President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump continues to produce lesions in the body politic. Mostly in the form of whining by Trump, despite the fact that he insists that he won, which is contrary to post-debate polling.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

In the two short weeks following the debate, the positive impact for Harris is inarguable. Her fundraising, which was already remarkable by recent standards, continues to set records. And polls have shown her surging into leads nationally and in the critical swing states, a development that has Trump sinking into severe psychosis…

SEE THIS: Trump is Suffering From a Severe Case of Self-Deception on a Level Never Seen Before

For someone who wants the world to believe that he emerged from the face-off as the undisputed victor, Trump sure complains a lot. He has spent the past couple of weeks attacking the debate moderators as biased, and making ludicrous accusations that Harris was given the questions (and answers) beforehand and that she wore a communications device disguised as an earring. None of which contained even a speck of truth.

Building on those lies, Trump gave an interview to MAGA friendly Fox News flunky, Brian Kilmeade, wherein he elaborated on his psychobabble. But his remarks transcended his familiar mutterings of bias, devolving into open authoritarian threats…

Kilmeade: A Democratic pollster is calling for an investigation of ABC and the moderators. He wants communications pulled to see if they were talking to each other because of the fact-check on you and not on them, and the questions and topics. Do you join in those questions?
Trump: Sure, I do. I think they should be investigated. And you know, they have to get a license from the federal government.

First of all, the alleged Democratic pollster Kilmeade mentioned was the notoriously right-wing former Democrat, Mark Penn. And neither he, nor Trump, nor Fox News have any justification for, or authority to demand internal communications from ABC News.

More ominous, however, is Trump’s response wherein he makes an overt threat to revoke the broadcast license of ABC News. That’s the sort of totalitarian abuse of power that is practiced by Trump’s idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And it’s how Trump promises govern if he were to return to power. It’s also consistent with his longstanding hatred of the free press that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Trump, and Fox News, assert that ABC demonstrated bias by daring to fact-check Trump during the debate, but not Harris. However, it isn’t her fault that Trump lied more than 30 times, while she stuck to truth. And if demonstrating bias was the crime that Trump and Fox is so concerned about, they might want to take a look in the mirror. Fox “News” has been nothing but a bald-faced, and shamelessly dishonest, right-wing propaganda outfit from its inception.

What’s more, Trump grossly exaggerated (as usual) the incidence of fact-checks, saying that he was checked “nine or 11 different times about things that I was right on virtually every case.” And while they could have legitimately fact-checked him 30 times, it was actually only four, for which he was clearly wrong. The moderators politely corrected Trump on the following subjects…

  • Abortion: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
  • Migrant Pet Cuisine: “[There were] no credible reports of pets or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals in the immigrant community.”
  • Crime: “As you know, the FBI says that overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country.”
  • The 2020 Election: “60 cases in front of many judges, many of them Republican, looked at it and said there was no widespread fraud.”

That was every fact-check of Trump that occurred during the debate. And everyone one of them was appropriate and fair and handled with dignity and an intent to inform voters. And despite his lie-riddled, angry, and often incoherent performance, Trump still says that…

“I thought it was a great debate for me. I thought it was one of my best debates that I’ve ever had. And some people disagree, but I thought it was the strongest debate I ever had.”

Well, if that was “the strongest debate [he] ever had,” then why is he so afraid to take the stage with Harris one more time before Election Day? Does he really want that embarrassing display to be the last thing that millions of Americans see before they vote? Or is he just too scared that he will get pummeled again if he agrees to another match?

Harris’ challenge to Trump to have another debate is brilliant. It’s a lose-lose scenario for Trump. If he agrees, he is likely to get another beatdown. If he declines, he’s affirming his fear. So the question for Trump is whether he is more worried about being seen as a loser or a chicken. Although it may be too late for him on both counts.
