Fox News Edits Trump Video in the Same Way that They Accused CBS, Which Trump Said Was Illegal

Posted by on October 24, 2024 at 2:42 pm. 1 Comments :

The bar for hypocrisy by Donald Trump and his MAGA media apologists has been set so low that a cockroach couldn’t limbo underneath it. But that doesn’t stop them from trying. Case in point… Fox News has been revealed to have engaged in behavior that they previously castigated CBS for, even though CBS did not do what Fox alleged, but Fox did.

Fox News, Fake News

A couple of weeks ago, Vice-President Kamala Harris was interviewed on CBS’ 60 Minutes. This interview has been an annual tradition for presidential candidates of both parties for fifty years. This year, however, Trump chickened out, which was probably a rare wise decision on his part given the increasing frequency of his abhorrent commentaries and humiliating mental glitches that has caused him to cancel multiple media events.

Following the Harris interview, Trump lashed out at CBS with a preposterous accusation that the network had improperly edited the discussion in order to make her look better. Trump raged that the interview was “A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes…which is totally illegal.” He called for CBS – and all the other broadcast news networks – to have their licenses revoked (FYI: broadcast TV networks are not licensed by the federal government). But even that wasn’t enough to satisfy him. He also demanded that Harris drop out of the race.

As it turns out, there is a network that improperly edited a campaign event for a presidential candidate. And no one will be surprised to learn that it was Fox News and the candidate was Donald Trump.

Trump staged a totally phony photo-op at a barbershop in the Bronx. The shop, and all of those present in it, were pre-screened Trump supporters. And now the segment that Fox News produced there has been exposed for its blatant deceit. As reported by CNN…

“Trump was seen taking questions and making small talk with Black and Hispanic barbershop customers and workers [but] Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions.

CNN reported that the editing by Fox News deliberately excised some of Trump’s most noxious comments. They included his repeating the nonsense about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and dogs, his incoherent rambling in response to a question about taxes, and his gushing praise for Hungarian dictator, Viktor Orbán.

A Fox News spokeswoman admitted that the barbershop segments “were pre-taped and edited…for time and clarity.” Which, according to CNN’s analysis of the raw footage, is false. There was a clear attempt to alter the impression made by Trump at the fake campaign stop. However, Fox’s excuse is exactly what CBS said about its editing of the 60 Minutes segment, which Trump insisted was illegal. So it’s apparently okay for Fox News to do it, but a criminal offense if CBS does.

An attorney for CBS replied to the threat made by Trump to sue the network, saying that…

“‘It begs logic to argue that 60 Minutes hid the first part of the Vice President’s answer to the question,’ [CBS SVP Gayle C.] Sproul wrote. ‘It did not. The public is aware of that part of her answer because 60 Minutes itself publicly distributed it by providing it to Face the Nation for promotional purposes and posting it on X and other 60 Minutes-branded social media for the same reason.'”

This isn’t the first time that Fox News has manufactured such a brazenly biased charade and passed it off as “news.” They recently aired a program that they promoted as a citizens town hall with Trump. However, the audience was stacked with MAGA devotees whose questions were marinated in a glutinous purée of adoration for Dear Leader.

The fact that Fox News is so committed to shilling for Trump and other MAGA Republican politicians and policies is not exactly a new discovery. But the fact that they are so bad at it after so many years of practice is pretty pathetic. And as their partisan goals get farther from reach – such as Trump’s candidacy – we can expect them to crawl even farther out on the limb of dishonesty and journalistic misconduct.

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!

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

Posted by on October 14, 2024 at 3:33 pm. 2 Comments :

When President Biden ended his reelection campaign in July, he elevated Donald Trump to the status of being the oldest person ever to be running for the presidency. And that distinction comes with some of the baggage that weighed on Biden’s campaign before he passed the torch to Kamala Harris. Namely, is there – or should there be – a maximum age to serve as president?

Click here to Tweet this article

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The answer to that question depends a great deal on the particular candidate. People develop age-related issues at different times as they grow older. However, sometimes the evidence of cognitive decline is apparent to any objective and impartial observer. And if any candidate deserves to be scrutinized as insufficiently capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency, it is Donald Trump.

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

Among the psychological syndromes that plague Trump is one known as “projection,” a defense mechanism where someone unconsciously or consciously attributes their own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto another person or group. And a clearer description of Trump’s latest attack on Harris would be hard to find. In a late-night post on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lashed out saying that…

“I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers,’ with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!”

So Trump, who is unable to get through his cult rallies without wandering off into deranged diversions about the fictional film cannibal, Hannibal Lector, or fears of electrocution in a sea of swarming sharks, thinks that Harris needs to take a cognitive test. That’s the same guy who thinks that his rallies draw ten times as many people as would fit in the venue, but Harris’ rallies that are filled to the rafters are attended by nobody. And it’s the same guy who flaunts fantastical fantasies about migrants eating dogs and cats.

In his comment Trump refers to the 60 Minutes interview that Harris did, and which Trump initially agreed to, but later chickened out. And in his reference he lies about the editing of the segment, even calling it illegal.

MORE HERE: Trump Threatens CBS Over Kamala Harris Interview on 60 Minutes He Says Was ‘Possibly Illegal’

What’s more, Trump’s call for Harris to take a cognitive test ignores the fact that she just released the complete results of her medical exam. This is something that Trump has promised to do, but like his taxes, healthcare plan, infrastructure bill, and so much more, it’s a promise that has gone unfulfilled.

Trump surely has good reasons for refusing to release his medical records. If they had any positive info in them, he would have released them with a huge fanfare weeks ago. So it’s safe to assume there’s something troubling that he needs to hide. And that is behavior that’s consistent with his refusal to do any interviews outside of his MAGA-friendly safety bubble, or participation in another debate with Harris. He’s just plain scared. His staff knows it. And so does the Harris campaign.

Trump’s mental deficiencies have also been noticed by over 250 doctors and health care providers who are now calling on him Trump to release his medical records. In an open letter they wrote that “his refusal to disclose even basic health information is a disservice to the American people.”

“On August 20, Donald Trump said he would ‘very gladly’ release his medical records. In the 55 days since, he has yet to do so. With no recent disclosure of health information from Donald Trump, we are left to extrapolate from public appearances. And on that front, Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.” […]

“We are seeing that from Trump, as he uses his rallies and appearances to ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances. He also is notably refusing to give the public the ability to properly vet or scrutinize his capacities. Just last week, he backed out of an interview with 60 Minutes, and he is refusing to debate Vice President Harris again.”

The medical info that Harris release included the results of a neuropsychiatric exam. It is now imperative that Trump take the same tests and release the results. But if anyone is holding their breath waiting for Trump to do that, they might soon be in need on medical attention themselves.

Trump Lies that Democrats ‘Draw Flies’ at Their Rallies, and are Denying Him Protection at His

Posted by on September 30, 2024 at 1:42 pm. 1 Comments :

The downward spiral of Donald Trump and his floundering campaign continues to gather steam in its descent. The closer he gets to defeat, the more preposterous his outbursts become. It’s a display of paranoid desperation playing out in real time in a painfully public manner.

Trump Lies

Ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, Trump has struggled to find a way to revamp his campaign strategy from one that focused on an elderly, white, statesman, to one that effectively challenges a younger, Black, woman, with unparalleled experience and ability.

Trump appears to have settled on the old kindergarten schoolboy gambit of insulting his opponent as “stupid.” Just wait a week or two until he calls her a “poopyhead.” It’s also notable that Trump is using the same rhetoric to malign all Americans who support Harris…

SEE THIS: ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined

On Monday morning Trump took a pathetic potshot at Harris that was more illustrative of his own sagging psychoses. It combined his tedious tendencies to whine with his acutely bizarre perversions of reality, claiming that…

“The Democrats are interfering with my Campaign by not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security. They’re using them for themselves, even though they don’t need them – they draw ‘flies.’ […] Hopefully the people of Wisconsin, and other areas where thousands are turned away, will realize that this is just another Democrat ploy!”

There is, of course, no truth to his assertion that Democrats have withheld Secret Service protection from him. But Trump never lets facts get in the way of his blatant propaganda. And he is once again misdirecting his own anxieties toward others. It is Trump who has the problem with drawing flies, both at his shrinking cult rallies, and surrounding himself personally, which he also believes is a plot against him…

Trump’s comment also touches on another complaint he’s had about the accurate reporting of his poorly attended rallies. In an earlier post, Trump invented a massive turnout of MAGA disciples that existed only in his twisted imagination. He said that…

“Kamala and Sleepy Joe are going out of their way to make it difficult for me to Campaign. We had one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen on Saturday, in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin…and we ended up having to use a 750 seat theater, having to send away more than 50,000 people. They were unable to give us Secret Service protection commensurate with the crowd.”

That’s right! Trump thinks that people will believe that 50,000 of his supporters actually showed up at a venue that holds 750, and were turned away. This rally was in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, a city with a population of 5,500, in a county of 16,100. You have to wonder where they parked. You also have to wonder if Trump deliberately chose this city, whose name translates to “Prairie of the Dog,” to entice hungry Haitian migrants to attend.

Finally, Trump posted another comment that announced his intention to travel to Valdosta, Georgia, so that he can get in the way of emergency operations to rescue and care for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Trump obviously feels that it’s more important for him to show up and throw paper towels and chicken fingers at the troubled residents of the region.

However, even in that pursuit, Trump had to resort to spouting ludicrous political allegations intended to incite further division at the expense of those who are suffering. He said that…

“We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia…but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!”

For the record, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp spoke with President Biden and expressed his appreciation for everything the federal government is doing to help. but telling provably false lies is how Trump thinks he will resuscitate his moribund campaign. He clearly doesn’t have any plans – or even concepts of plans – that might appeal to voters. So his entire strategy is to hurl childish insults and tell ridiculous lies.

While Trump has a faithful throng of cult devotees who adore this malarkey, the majority of the American people are repulsed by it – and by him. and if enough of then turn out on or before November 5th, Kamala Harris will hand Loser Trump another in a long line of defeats.

Trump Rants Hysterically that Women are ‘Poor’ and ‘Depressed’ But that He Will Fix Everything

Posted by on September 21, 2024 at 1:14 pm. NO Comments :

From the beginning of his misadventures in politics, Donald Trump has exalted himself as the panacea to all of life’s ills. He has insisted that only he could resolve the nation’s problems. He contends that all manner of misfortune – from inflation to the war in Ukraine – would never have happened were he in charge.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Trump’s magical mystery revisionist history is evidence of the severity of the decay that has spread in his sickly cerebral cavity. Not only is he clueless about problem solving, he is often the cause of the problem itself. And in the end he manages to humiliate himself with astonishingly deranged commentaries.

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

On Saturday morning Trump provided some outstanding examples of his demented world view. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted a couple of manic messages that ought to scare the bejeebus out of anyone with a remnant of rationality.

Trump began his tantrum describing the horrendous state of women in America, saying in part (and in all-caps) that…

“WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION.”

Who better than Trump to assess this “NIGHTMARE” that women are enduring? Are there no better authorities on the status of women than someone who was found liable for sexual harassment and been adjudicated a rapist? Not to mention the dozens of other accusations of sexual assault that have been levied against him.

And yet, Trump sees himself as the savior of women who can make them all “HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE!” If only they would shut their yaps and do what he tells them to do. Gawd forbid any of them ever challenge or disagree with him. They, of course, would be put in their place as “low IQ,” “birdbrains,” and/or “crazy.”

Trump’s second morning harangue was aimed the media that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He started out lambasting a familiar foe, Bill Maher, who he calls “a befuddled mess.” Then he turns to Maher’s guests, “‘dumb as a rock bimbo’ Stephanie Ruhle” and “Trump hating loser, Bret Stephens.”

Naturally, Trump’s insult of Ruhle is a misogynistic screed that further demonstrates his hatred of women. And his attack on conservative pundit Stephens includes a swipe at the New Times that he thinks he is driving crazy. He also repeats his false claim that the Times is “FAILING,” suggesting that they “put it to sleep.” For the record, the Times is doing a heck of a lot better than Trump’s own Truth Social…

This is the what Trump felt compelled to address with just over six weeks until Election Day. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are crisscrossing the country, holding rallies in swing states and interacting with voters. Trump, meanwhile, is phoning in to MAGA friendly TV shows and podcasts, and visiting places (e.g. New York) where he can’t hope to get any votes worth mentioning.

Nevertheless, Trump still has time to post ditzy diatribes on Truth Social where no one will see them but his cult followers, and critics who find him pathetic and ripe for ridicule. It’s a brilliant campaign strategy that befits a “stable genius.”

UPDATE: Desi Lydic of The Daily Show has something to say about Trump’s promise to be the protector of women…

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Report that He Was Hacked By Iran, So He Accuses Kamala Harris of Spying

Posted by on September 19, 2024 at 2:15 pm. 2 Comments :

Donald Trump has never been a particularly stable individual. He is widely known for his highfalutin histrionics and maniacal meltdowns. But ever since Kamala Harris was elevated to nominee of the Democratic Party for President, Trump has taken a treacherous turn for the worse.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Trump has always had a flare for melodrama. He ramps everything up to hyperbolic extremes in order to create an artificial buzz. But now his campaign is running solely on the fumes of his seething desperation. He is stuck in a downward spiral that threatens to drown him in ever deeper depths of delusion.

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

On Thursday morning Trump was grasping plaintively to a story about efforts by Iran to peddle stolen campaign materials. And naturally, Trump thoroughly mangled the facts so as to be unrecognizable to anyone with a toehold on reality. He posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, two comments that were more than slightly unhinged…

1st: “WOW, JUST OUT! THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN. THEREFORE SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN WERE ILLEGALLY SPYING ON ME. TO BE KNOWN AS THE IRAN, IRAN, IRAN CASE! WILL KAMALA RESIGN IN DISGRACE FROM POLITICS? WILL THE COMMUNIST LEFT PICK A NEW CANDIDATE TO REPLACE HER?”

2nd: “WHEN DOES KAMALA AND HER CAMPAIGN GO BEFORE A GRAND JURY ON IRAN, IRAN, IRAN? MY CAMPAIGN WHEN THROUGH HELL ON THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE IRAN/KAMALA CAMPAIGN CORRUPTION CASE IS REAL!”

Let’s examine this berserk outburst in some more detail, shall we? To begin with, the FBI did not catch “IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN.” In fact, they only found that someone associated with Iran had improperly acquired materials from Trump’s campaign and attempted – unsuccessfully – to pass it on to President Biden’s campaign. It all occurred before Harris had become the nominee.

Harris, therefore, was not spying on Trump, and neither was Biden. That, however doesn’t stop a pathological liar like Trump from making reckless accusations of illegalities that exist only in his disease-rotted brain. So there is no reason for Harris to resign. Although Trump ought to consider it after making such flagrantly dishonest remarks and distorting the very serious matter of foreign governments trying to subvert American democracy.

Trump went on to ask “WHEN DOES KAMALA AND HER CAMPAIGN GO BEFORE A GRAND JURY ON IRAN, IRAN, IRAN?” All three of them? You have to wonder what causes Trump to have those weird, repetitious glitches. But more to the point, there are no grounds for a Grand Jury probe of Harris for one simple reason. Because, outside of his frenzied psychobabble, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever.

Finally, Trump tries to tie his bogus contortion of this Iran story to the fully documented and treasonous acts involving his unsavory connections to Russia. And along with his blatant dishonesty, he is profoundly hypocritical with regard to making use of dirt compiled by hostile foreign countries. In 2019, George Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether he would use such materials or turn them over to the FBI. He replied that…

“I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen. There’s nothing wrong with listening. […] It’s not an [election] interference. They have information, I think I’d take it.”

Not only would Trump take such unscrupulously obtained info, he actually asked Vladimir Putin to hack Hillary Clinton’s email. This morning Trump also dispatched his campaign Senior Advisor, Tim Murtaugh, to Fox News to further spread his lies about the Iran hack. Murtaugh told Fox that…

“Of course the Iranians prefer Kamala Harris. Of course, because they have a pliant, sympathetic figure in her. The questions here today are: What exactly did the Harris campaign do with this stolen information that they were sent? What did they do with it? Did they try to shop it to the media. Did they use it in any way? This is absolutely election interference”

What exactly the campaign did with the information was to turn it over to the FBI. They didn’t use any of it. There isn’t even any evidence that they looked at it before reporting it. And this was even validated by – FOX NEWS! According to Fox…

“The Harris campaign addressed the revelation by federal agencies that individuals tied to the Biden campaign were targeted by Iranian actors with emails containing stolen Trump campaign materials [saying that] ‘We have cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities since we were made aware that individuals associated with the then-Biden campaign were among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation.’ [and that] ‘We’re not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign; a few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt.'”

[Fox also reported that] “In a joint statement released Wednesday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) [said that] ‘There is currently no information indicating those recipients replied.’ [and that] A Harris campaign official told Fox News Digital that ‘the material was not used.'”

So Trump and his campaign knew precisely what the Harris campaign did before Trump and his flunky made public statements falsely accusing Harris of improprieties. Which means that they were all lying in order to smear Harris. That, of course, is nothing new for Trump and his cohorts. In fact, it is their standard mode of operation. But it is getting more transparent and tiresome and desperate as Election Day draws nearer. Expect that trend to continue right up until November 5th, and even beyond.

Trump Blames the Alleged Assassination Attempt at His Golf Course on Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

Posted by on September 16, 2024 at 12:26 pm. 3 Comments :

For the second time in as many months a cretinous jerk with an assault rifle has apparently plotted to assassinate former president and convicted felon, Donald Trump. And just as they did in the prior episode, MAGA Republicans are furiously trying to lay the blame on Democrats in general, and on Kamala Harris and President Biden in particular.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Angry

Never mind that the shooter in July was a registered Republican, and that the the latest suspect reportedly voted for Trump in 2016. The MAGA Klan has been attributing blame for these loathsome acts on Democrats without a shred of evidence to support their claims.

SEE THIS: MAGA World Blames Biden and Democrats for the Violence that Trump Has Incited for Years

Not one to shy away from a blazing conspiracy melodrama, Donald Trump gave an interview to his pals at Fox News Digital wherein he fanned the flames of these current events in a manner that can only be interpreted as an effort to cause the most damage possible by spreading the rhetorical fire. Asserting his clairvoyant powers, he channeled the thoughts of the would-be shooter, Ryan Wesley Routh, saying that…

“He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country – both from the inside and out.”

Not only does Trump profess to know what Routh was thinking, but he actually engages in the sort of incendiary rhetoric that he is pretending to be against by charging that Biden and Harris are “destroying the country.” And he was only just getting started…

“These are people that want to destroy our country. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat. […] They do it with a combination of rhetoric and lawsuits they wrap me up in.”

Trump can hardly complain about the language used to describe him, which is mostly accurate citations of his own words. But he is also trying to associate the legal cases against him with motivations to do him in. In his mind, any legitimate indictment and prosecution of him for the crimes that he has actually committed is tantamount to an assassination threat. In fact, just campaigning against him is a mortal sin. Then he continued with a threat of his own, saying that…

“They use highly inflammatory language. I can use it too – far better than they can – but I don’t.”

Yeah, right! Trump doesn’t use inflammatory language at all. Unless you count what he said in this very interview about Biden and Harris “destroying the country” and being “the enemy from within.” And he has used similar and worse language for years at his cult rallies and on other interviews in the MAGA media. Don’t forget the incitation of his StormTrumpers to attack Congress and stage a deadly coup attempt on January 6, 2021.

Trump repeated himself in a post on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Monday morning wherein he raged about “the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate,” and “all of the ridiculous lawsuits,” that have “taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.” And that “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” You gotta watch out for those flying communist bullets.

The rest of the post was dedicated to Trump’s routine, racist immigrant bashing about “millions of people, from places unknown” and “TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE” “INVADE[RS]” who he says “ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH.” It seems that to Trump the answer to every question, no matter the subject, is “invading immigrant criminals.”

To top it off, Trump demonstrated his devotion to grifting off of anything that he thinks he can exploit for financial gain. He posted the following comment on Truth Social the morning after his golf cart-astrophe. The annotations reveal his true motivations in trying times like these…

BLAME AMERICA FIRST: Fox News Attacks U.S. in Response to Reports of Russian Election Interference

Posted by on September 4, 2024 at 1:31 pm. 2 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump became a candidate for political office, he has had the distinction and disgrace of garnering support from shady characters affiliated with some of America’s most virulent enemies. In both 2016 and 2020, Trump’s campaigns were aided by his pal and idol, Vladimir Putin, who took an active role in efforts to undermine American democracy.

Fox News Commies

The 2024 presidential election is expected to have some of those same nefarious players on Trump’s team. Their unambiguous purpose is to bolster Trump’s electoral aspirations, while torpedoing Kamala Harris with slanderous lies and wholly fabricated allegations. Since they can’t find anything honest and substantive to criticize her for, they resort to pure fiction and fear mongering.

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

On Wednesday reports emerged about Russia’s continuing efforts to interfere in American elections. However, these latest reports reveal that the U.S. government is doing something affirmative about it. As reported by MSNBC…

“The Biden administration is taking a series of actions to target what they allege are Russian-backed actors to manipulate public opinion here in the U.S. ahead of the presidential election, according to two senior U.S, officials. […]

“[Ken Dilanian:] This is being described as a whole of government action designed to target Russian propaganda and disinformation aimed at interfering in the 2024 election. It’s said to include sanctions by the Treasury Department, law enforcement action by the Justice Department, and one of the focuses is on [Russian-funded propaganda network] RT [that] was tagged back in 2017 as a vehicle for Russian disinformation and election interference. And at that time the government required RT to register as a foreign agent.”

This news isn’t exactly groundbreaking because we know that Russia has been doing this for years, with the knowledge, approval, and even coordination with the Trump camp and the GOP. But what makes it even worse is that our foreign foes and their domestic flunkies are aided and abetted by Fox News. When Fox reported these actions by the U.S. against Russia’s interference in our election, their hosts, Harris Faulkner and Steve Hilton, wasted no time in deflecting blame from Russia and casting it on America (video below)….

Faulkner: Just this hour we can confirm that the Biden administration plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 presidential election. And that it will do so using state-run media and other online platforms to target U.S. voters with disinformation. It’s expected that the U.S. will make a series of moves today to address those issues. Talk to me. Why is that suddenly a concern now?
Hilton: That’s the truth about all of this in this world that we live in today, which is you have Iran doing this, you have China doing this, and frankly, we do it to other countries as well. […] Yet, just at this time, the Biden-Harris administration raises the specter once again of Russian interference. […]
Faulkner: That’s such a great question. And it’s contextually very important. We have 51 intelligence agents agree to the fact that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn’t real.

Rather than express outrage that Russia is once again trying to undermine American democracy, Faulkner’s immediate reaction was to cast suspicion on the U.S. for doing something about it. As if taking action while the election is in progress and vulnerable to Russia’s tactics is in itself evil. And she reaches back to the irrelevant matter of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Which, by the way, no one ever said wasn’t real. They only said that the hype surrounding it was generated by Russian trolls. Which is true.

Hilton went further down the “Blame America” trail to accuse the FBI, the CIA, and the Department of Justice of being “totally biased and in the tank and trying to stop Donald Trump from being elected.” Then the two of them continued saying that…

Faulkner: It also gives the left that familiar mantra of Russia, Russia, Russia. They’re not gonna concentrate on the areas where our own people fell down on protecting our elections. […]
Hilton: We cannot trust them. We need a complete clear out. They are institutionally corrupted.

So according to these treasonous cretins, evidence of Russia committing crimes against the American people is irrelevant, except as a trigger to attack the U.S. for imaginary election fraud for which they have never been able to produce any proof. In fact, their lies on the subject cost them 3/4 of billion dollars in a defamation settlement. They are so devoted to their anti-American views that they are incapable of defending the nation against foreign enemies. To the contrary, they are driven to malign the U.S. and its institutions.

That is a perspective that runs through the Republican Party and that has been nurtured by Trump’s animosity toward America and his aversion to democracy. It would make sense for the U.S. government, while slapping sanctions on Russia and its propaganda outlets like RT, to do the same with Fox News. In fact, Fox should have been labeled a foreign agent many years ago.

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

Posted by on September 3, 2024 at 1:35 pm. 1 Comments :

It may be time to throw a Pity Party for the fatuous, fumbling, and forlorn folks at Fox News. Their wretched and woeful efforts to malign Vice-President Kamala Harris have become a pathetic joke whose punch line is more of gut punch to the Trump-fluffing “news” network.

Fox News, Kamala Harris

As Harris continues her surprisingly successful sprint to the finish line in the 2024 election, her enemies at Fox News and other MAGA media outlets are frantically fishing for anything that might slow her momentum. And so far they are only reeling in anemic strands of kelp. And they have to strain mightily for that.

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

The desperation at Fox News is evident in the far-fetched fantasies that they are inventing to disparage Harris. They have already tried to malign her for not having interviews with the mainstream press that has worked so diligently to artificially inflate the criticisms of her Republican foes, while dismissing the deplorable comments and flagrant lies of Donald Trump.

Naturally, Fox News is at the front of the line to launch hostile and vacant attacks on Harris. And on Tuesday morning they provided an outstanding example of their info-excrement. Fox News host Todd Piro introduced a segment with video of Harris ascending the stairs of her campaign plane. The theme of this segment was that Harris was attempting to avoid questions from press. But Piro and his guest, right-wing hack Kaylee McGee White, just made up what they regarded as the key evidence of their allegation.

Piro: Kamala Harris is now being called out for a new tactic of avoiding questions from reporters by wearing ear buds, the move sparking outrage on social media.
White: My favorite part about this was when she has the wired earphones in and at one point when she was walking up the stairs to the plane she holds her phone up to her ear as if she was taking a phone call when it was very clear that she already had ear buds in. The whole thing doesn’t make sense.

To be clear, those who Piro says “called out,” Harris and drew “outrage on social media,” is actually just Fox News themselves, and the random wingnuts they find on Twitter. They’re using their own lying flunkies to prove their lies. But the video of Harris boarding the plane shows something completely different than what they are alleging. Here is the clip provided by frequent Fox guest Monica Crowley…

Near the end of this video you can see Harris raise her hand to her head. But she is not putting the phone to her ear. The phone is clearly resting on her cheek. It is her finger that is on her ear, so as to better hear what is in her ear buds. In other words, the Foxies are asking their viewers to disbelieve what they can see with their own eyes, and instead believe their obviously phony voiceovers.

What’s more, some of the online critics complained that Harris was using wired ear buds at all. They accused her of being out of touch with modern technology. However, the truth is that they are out of touch with modern communications security. Government officials are directed to use wired headsets because the wireless Bluetooth ones are vulnerable to hackers who could intercept and eavesdrop on their calls.

The reason that Fox News is focusing on nonsense like this is that they can’t find anything substantive to criticize Harris for. Which is also the reason that Harris is gaining in popularity and rising in the polls. Which is driving Fox News and Trump crazy – or crazier, as the case may be. And as election day approaches we can expect them to get worse. Much worse. So make sure to have plenty of popcorn – and Tylenol – on hand.

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

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

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

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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