By Trump’s Deranged Logic the U.S. Should Takeover Israel and Relocate All of its Residents

Posted by on February 6, 2025 at 1:05 pm. 1 Comments :

The Decline of Western Civilization is accelerating apace as Donald Trump continues to roll out his neo-fascist, Project 2025 agenda with the cowardly compliance of Republicans in Congress and the MAGA-friendly media. In less than three weeks he has presided over a federal spending freeze that devastates critical services, the gutting of law enforcement personal at the Justice Department and the FBI, and the illegal invasion of government facilities by the unqualified and unaccountable armies of Muskler Youth.

Trump Tower in bombed out Gaza

Near the top of the list of catastrophic Trump initiatives is his proposed scheme to commit blatant crimes against humanity by ordering the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and declaring the occupied Palestinian territory a wholly owned property of the United States. Trump has neither the legal authority, nor the moral standing to make such a declaration. And his escalation of these preposterous pronouncements is a major contributor to his abysmal approval ratings.

SEE THIS: Trump 2.0 Begins with Approval Ratings that Rank Below Every Other President Dating Back to 1953

On Thursday morning Trump quadrupled-down on his delusional Gaza annexation aspirations. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that reaffirmed just how mentally twisted he is. He began by asserting that “The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel,” as if Israel held that power, or even the inclination to do so. Then he bizarrely implied that the Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, is himself a Palestinian. And it just got worse from there. Trump claimed that the entirety of the Palestinian residents of Gaza…

“…would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!”

Never mind that the mass resettlement of a populations is a violation of international law. So is the assumption of their then vacant land for the habitation and profit of others. And if Trump really believes that all of that could be accomplished without a provoking a prolonged war between the Palestinians, the U.S., and Israel, he is farther along the path to debilitating senility that previously thought.

What’s more, Trump’s logic is so deeply flawed that it can easily be turned against him. If his proposal for resettlement is so great, why not resettle the Israelis? After all…

“They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth.”

So maybe Trump could make a deal to buy Greenland, or Madagascar, or even Baja California, and move all the Israelis there. If New Israel were in Baja California, I would even move there. There would be peace and prosperity in a beautiful locale, with Mediterranean weather, and close to the U.S. Let the Palestinians have the god-forsaken desert in the Middle East with proximity to their Muslim neighbors.

Of course, that proposal is offered with a healthy heaping of sarcasm. One of the problems with moving either Palestinians or Israelis is that the land they are on now isn’t just some random piece of real estate. It is regarded by both sides as the ancestral homeland for their people, given to them by God. But Trump thinks that he can just pack them up and ship them off to some unspecified destination, even though every Arab country has already refused to take in the Palestinians.

Naturally, Fox News is all for Trump’s idiotic plans to uproot the Palestinians and steal the land. They can’t understand why the idea wouldn’t be accepted with unbounded glee. And Trump probably thinks it would be a good location for a Trump Golf and Resort Spa on the Mediterranean. But maybe he should Don Jr, or Eric or Elon there first to check it out and see if they can’t get Hamas to sign on.

In the meantime, The Daily Show had its own take on the subject. Host Desi Lydic noted that “Trump wants to turn Gaza into the Riviera? He couldn’t even turn Atlantic City into a nicer Atlantic City! If anything, they tore down so many of his casinos he turned Atlantic city into Gaza!”

Trump’s Nepo-Baby-In-Law, Lara Trump, Hired to Host Primetime Trump-Fluffing Hour on Fox News

Posted by on February 5, 2025 at 1:20 pm. NO Comments :

Now that the 2024 election is in the books, and Donald Trump has returned to pretending he’s president, while actually golfing and grifting from his Mar-a-Lago bunker, members of his family cult are resuming their compulsory posts as purveyors of pseudo-populist propaganda.

Donald Trump Fox News

The White House team that Trump has been assembling is one that is familiar to observant Trump watchers. It is comprised mostly of faithful followers and sycophants whose loyalty is reserved solely for Trump, rather than the Constitution or any other charter of laws.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

After recruiting at least eighteen Cabinet and White House staffers from his Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News), Trump has returned the favor by sending one of his own brood back to Fox News. As reported by The Wrap, Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, will soon debut her new show – “My View with Lara Trump” – on the ultra-MAGA network…

“Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, will host a weekend show on Fox News, marking the first time a close family relative of a sitting U.S. President has done so. A former co-chair of the Republican Party, Lara Trump will launch the new weekend show on Fox News on Feb. 22, the network confirmed to TheWrap. […]

“‘I’m thrilled to bring my voice back to Fox News, talk directly with the American people and highlight what makes this country so great,’ Lara Trump said in the network’s statement. ‘As I cover the success of The Golden Age of America, I look forward to where this time will lead our country and where this opportunity will lead me in the future.'”

Lara Trump has surely benefited from her wedded relationship to the Trump klan. She has previously been employed by Fox as a contributor; she was installed to head the Republican National Committee; she got to perform some cringeworthy musical numbers; and now she’s being given an even higher profile platform on Fox as the star of her own program.

This is indeed unprecedented. Imagine how the MAGA cult would respond if Hunter Biden were given his own show on MSNBC. As Lara joins what Trump calls “the enemy of the people,” her hosting duties will obviously be confined to parroting the lies of her Sugar-Daddy-in-Law, Donald. She even admits as much in her statement above saying that she is only there to “cover the success of The Golden Age of America.”

In other words, Lara will ignore all of the far more numerous and horrific failures that Trump will – and has already – inflicted on the American people. Suffice to say that she will never report on Trump’s offenses against democracy and the government institutions that support it, such as…

Add to that Trump’s recent imposition of inflationary tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, and his latest idiocy, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza, which the U.S. would then take ownership of. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Trump’s Press Secretary Stumped When Asked If It’s Safe to Fly – By Peter Doocy of Fox News

Posted by on January 31, 2025 at 2:06 pm. NO Comments :

Within hours of the news that an American Airlines jet had collided with a military Blackhawk helicopter and crashed, killing everyone aboard both aircraft, Donald Trump had already drawn his conclusions as to the cause. He surmised that the cause of the tragedy was hiring practices that promoted diversity, equity, and Inclusion (DEI). He followed that up by blaming Presidents Obama and Biden.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Never mind that Trump had no evidence whatsoever that his racist conclusions had any merit, or even a remote relationship with reality. He neglected expressions of concern or condolences in order to advance his agenda of noxious bigotry, and to exploit the tragedy to attack his political foes. And of course, that narrative was faithfully supported by his obedient politburo chief, Karoline Leavitt, who has been busy clearing press credentials for devoted MAGA cultists.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary Pledges to Plant Pro-Trump Crackpots in the White House Press Room

On Friday morning, the White House press briefing took a bizarre turn when Peter Doocy of Fox News rose to ask Leavitt a question about the safety of air travel in America. He made an uncharacteristically insightful point about the consequences of Trump’s drumbeating of disparagement toward employees in the aviation sector that he regards as being too dark skinned, feminine, or otherwise representative of the diversity of the nation.

Doocy: If president Trump is telling us that air traffic control towers are staffed with unqualified controllers, DEI hires who never should have been brought on, then it’s not safe to fly commercially, is it?
Leavitt: The president was asked and answered this yesterday, and he believes that it is still indeed safe and Americans should feel safe traveling our skies. With that said, two things can be true at the same time. And we certainly have seen the deterioration of federal hiring standards at the Federal Aviation Administration. And the president wants to increase those standards.

PETER DOOCY: Given DEI hires, it's not safe to fly commercially, is it?LEAVITT: The president believes it is still indeed safe. With that said …

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-01-31T18:17:09.467Z

Doocy’s question staggered Leavitt. It makes sense to reason that aviation safety is at risk if the people responsible for it are incompetent and/or unqualified, as Trump insists. And anyone who accepts Trump’s assessment should keep their feet firmly planted on the ground, rather than put their lives in the hands of freeloaders who shouldn’t have been hired. Right?

Well, according to Leavitt, the answer is more complex. She argues that “two things can be true at the same time.” In her view, the pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation staff can be inferior clods who, nevertheless, are still perfectly able to insure the safety of American travelers. Except for the times that they cause jetliners to crash into the Potomac. Leavitt elaborated on her duplicity theory saying that…

“When you’re flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer.”

The choices Leavitt offers here are absurd in the extreme. Obviously every air passenger wants to land safely. But nobody “prays” that “the pilot has a certain skin color.” Well, except for racist Trump cultists and MAGA disciples who will only approve of white pilots. For instance, Trump flunky Charlie Kirk actually said “I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.'”

Trump’s obsession with casting blame on Blacks, women, Democrats, and others for whom he has a visceral, inbred hatred, is emblematic of his rancid divisiveness. And in the furtherance of his prejudices, he couldn’t care less about whether or not what he’s saying about DEI true. And as PolitiFact affirms, it isn’t. But that won’t stop him. He won’t stop lying because he’s pathologically incapable of it. What’s more, he knows that his cult followers not only accept it, they love it.

Trump Pledges to Forgo 100’s of Billions in Revenue By Letting Wealthy Tax Cheaters Off the Hook

Posted by on January 26, 2025 at 1:44 pm. 1 Comments :

If there is anyone who is still unsure about who Donald Trump is working for, the Grifter-in-Chief himself is making it clear enough that only his most gullible, brainwashed cult disciples will remain blinded by his brazen bullshittery.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

The VIP guest guest list to Trump’s inauguration ought to have been a five-alarm bulletin that Trump is immovably devoted to the wealthiest upper-crusters in America, including such shameless, ring-kissing luminaries as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos, who donated millions to bankroll his inaugural party. Even so, their largesse was not sufficient to buy Trump an audience. The weather drove the event into the small Rotunda in the Capitol, and his unprecedented unpopularity drove viewers away from their TVs…

SEE THIS: Trump Gets Hit Where it Hurts: TV Ratings for His Inauguration Fall 27% Below Joe Biden’s

Among the reasons that the American people are shunning Trump are his proposals that overwhelmingly favor corporations and the elite class that is so generous with their contributions – aka bribes. On Saturday Trump delivered a speech to his working class dupes that affirmed his commitment to the American aristocracy. He made a point of singling out a particular piece of his agenda that the privileged set salivates over…

“On day one I immediately halted the hiring of any new IRS agents. They hired, or tried to hire 88,000 new workers to go after you, and we’re in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them or maybe we’ll move them to the border.”

This is a long debunked lie that Trump has been telling for years. He likely picked it up from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, back in August of 2022, when Fox’s Brian Kilmeade, sitting in for Tucker Carlson, told a tale of “Joe Biden’s new army,” that will “hunt down and kill middle class taxpayers.” Of course, nothing like that ever existed. It was a mangling of a report about legislation that would provide funding for the IRS for maintenance and a variety of needed improvements.

MORE HERE: Fox News Fear Mongers that Biden’s IRS Agents Will ‘Hunt Down and Kill Middle Class Taxpayers’

The only IRS agents who are authorized to carry firearms are a small number who deal with serious criminal activities, such as money laundering, drug trafficking and organized crime. The bulk of the funding was actually earmarked for replacing employees who resigned, for enhancing customer service, and for improving the agencies technologies. Most of the employee hiring that Trump is claiming to have halted would have affected those sort of administrative positions that make dealing with the IRS easier for everyone. A smaller amount would be spent on agents who audit taxpayers, and most of them would be in the higher income brackets.

An independent study showed that the new funding and staffing “could lead to as much as $850 billion in new revenue over the next decade.” And a recent report revealed that those benefits were already being realized. CBS News reported that…

“The IRS said…that its plan to crack down on wealthy tax cheats is paying off, with the agency collecting more than $1 billion since targeting high-income earners who owe the government money. The joint announcement with the U.S. Treasury Department is meant to highlight that the IRS’ $80 billion in funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is helping to recoup revenue for the nation’s coffers.”

Trump’s plan would significantly cut into federal revenues, making the deficit worse and reducing the funds available for critical services including policing the border, healthcare, law enforcement, preventing terrorism, aiding poor families and children, education, repairing crumbling infrastructure, and so much more.

However, Trump’s plan would help him in his mission to abolish taxes in favor of tariffs, that would shift the burden of the budget demands to lower and middle class citizens. The result would be huge tax cuts for the wealthy, along with free rein to cheat on whatever taxes remain for them pay. Is that what Trump campaigned on? Is that what his cult followers voted for?

Fox News Gushes Over Trump’s ‘Hot’ Nominees – Trashes Liberals as ‘Fat, Out of Shape Losers’

Posted by on January 18, 2025 at 12:35 pm. 1 Comments :

It has been ten years since Donald Trump began his political career by riding down a gold-plated escalator from his Manhattan penthouse, and promising to represent the forgotten people of America by catering to the whims of the wealthy and corporations, and punishing immigrants and minorities who he maligned as criminals.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

In the decade that has transpired, some people may have forgotten what Trump did for a living prior to his occupation in the White House. He was not a real estate developer, or a dealmaker, or a marketer. For most of that time he was the host of a reality TV game show, “The Apprentice,” where he pretended to be a successful businessman despite his actual record of multiple failures and bankruptcies. And to this day he leans on that past and those who helped him craft his fake identity.

SEE THIS: Trump Picks His ‘Apprentice’ Producer, Mark Burnett, for Diplomatic Post – To Buy His Silence?

The superficiality of Trump’s long occupation as a television performer has been evident in everything he has done as a politician. Appearances were always paramount over substance. It’s why he was so obsessed about crowd size, and lying about having lost the 2020 election to President Biden. It’s why he chose White House staffers who looked good on TV, but had little to no experience in the jobs they were hired to do. That shallowness also continues to this day and dominates his hiring for Trump 2.0.

Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is also on the job of plastering superficial facades on him and his new brood of bootlickers. That was brilliantly demonstrated by Fox’s resident wannabe schlock-jock, Greg Gutfeld. In a segment on Friday’s episode of “The Five,” Gutfeld sought to extol the “hotness” of Trump’s toadies, while insulting Democrats as dawgs. He began by comparing Biden’s Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, to Trump’s nominee for the post…

“Mayorkas to Kristi. You’re going from a garden gnome to Kristi Noem. I mean, she’s so hot that shooting a dog isn’t a deal breaker. And I’m telling you this, you look at this crop of nominees and the party, there’s something there, man. They’re all in great shape. You’ve got to look at people who preserve and maintain what’s important in their lives. If they’re going to do that with their physical self, they’re going to do that in other areas. This is why like a lot of liberals are just fat, out of shape losers, because they don’t believe in structure, discipline.”

Notice that Gutfeld is unfavorably comparing a man who has spent his life in law enforcement and national security, to a small state governor who murders her pets and gets away with it. And Gutfeld absurdly believes that people whose egos demand most of their attention will somehow be more attentive to the less glamorous matters of state.

The rest of Gutfeld’s rant was devoted to praising Trump for hiring critical staffers based on their looks. He makes broad generalizations about the alleged attractiveness of Trump’s nominees, and equally unfair and insulting assessments of Biden’s team. Never mind that Trump’s picks are dreadfully unqualified for the jobs he’s proposing to give them.

For example, alcoholic sexual abuser, Pete Hegseth, conspiracy crackpot and anti-vaxxer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard, and QAnon kook, Kash Patel. None have the experience, knowledge, or skills to manage massive bureaucracies of government, many of which deal with matters of life and death.

If they look good on TV, which is where Trump found most of them, they meet his prerequisites. Which may be why seventeen (so far) of his nominees are current or former Fox News squawking heads.

SEE ALSO: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

What Gutfeld is conveniently ignoring are the physical attributes of the captain of this cabal of catwalkers (or is that cat eaters?). He doesn’t bother to compare the alluring and intelligent Kamala Harris to the stomach-churning hideousness of Trump. In fact, Dear Leader Trump is hardly a beacon of beauty. He’s a shuffling, wrinkled, orange-glazed, geezer, who is morbidly obese, with resting scowl-face. But sure, he’s in great shape – for a putrefied ham that’s been out on the porch for several weeks.

FOX NEWS HOST: ‘It Makes Me CRAZY that the Left is Mad at Musk’ – For Bankrolling Herr Trump?

Posted by on January 16, 2025 at 2:29 pm. 1 Comments :

For nearly a decade, Fox News has assumed the role of the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump. Their program hosts and guests have been uniformly worshipful of the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and aspiring authoritarian, who has become the internationally recognized brand of cable’s premiere disinformation network.

Fox News Sad

Fox’s devotion to Dear Leader Trump drives their editorial ideology. So much so that they continue to fawn over and lie about Trump despite having had to pay a $787 million settlement for defamation as a result of their brazenly dishonest parroting of Trump’s 2020 election denials and outright lies. Which they continue to do to this day.

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

On Thursday morning Fox Business host Gerri Willis was a guest on Fox’s “Outnumbered.” The discussion covered some of the controversy over the seizure of the American government by tech billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. With regard to the latter, Willis was inexplicably confounded as to why Democrats would have any problem with Musk’s utterly inappropriate role as an unelected, virtual shadow president…

“The whole idea that the left is mad at Elon Musk makes me crazy because he’s the one who developed their favorite product in the world: the electric car. So how can you be mad at him?”

REALLY? Willis has to be one of the dimmest bulbs in the Fox News marquee. First of all, Musk didn’t develop the electric car. He bought Tesla from the more intelligent and creative people who did develop it. Secondly, Tesla is not the “favorite product” of progressives. In fact, they have led the exodus of buyers who stopped patronizing Musk’s auto business.

More to the point, Willis is pitifully dense if she can’t grasp why Democrats would oppose Musk after he completely betrayed the environmental movement by buying the presidency for Trump, a climate change denier who thinks that it is a hoax perpetrated by China. And climate change is only the tip of the iceberg of Trump policies that Musk endorses that are anathema to progressives.

Coincidently – or perhaps not – President Biden addressed the same subject in his Oval Office farewell address to the nation Wednesday night. He issued a passionate wake up call to Americans, alerting them to the danger of the emerging Trump oligarchy…

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We’ve seen the consequences all across America and we’ve seen it before.

“More than a century ago, the Americans stood up to the robber barons back then and busted the trusts. They didn’t punish the wealthy, just made the wealthy play by the rules everybody else had to. Workers want rights to earn their fair share. You know, they were dealt into the deal and helped put us on the path to building the largest middle class, the most prosperous century any nation in the world has ever seen.”

President Biden delivers a prescient warning that "an oligarchy is taking shape in America."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-01-16T10:59:34.484Z

What actually makes Willis and and others at Fox News “crazy” is that the American people can see through their bullpucky. And we aren’t going to lay back and allow the new robber barons to enslave us. Even if they did once pretend to be interested in preserving the planet, but only because of their lust for more wealth.

Fox News Host Calls for a Full Federal Takeover of California and Declaration of Martial Law

Posted by on January 11, 2025 at 1:22 pm. 1 Comments :

Just in case anyone has not been convinced that Donald Trump has designs on becoming an imperialist totalitarian like his idol Vladimir Putin, he has lately been maniacally posturing to invade and annex several of America’s international allies, including Mexico, Panama, Canada, and Greenland.

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Trump’s threats in this regard may just be pseudo-macho chest-thumping, or attempts to intimidate foreign leaders with militaristic taunts, or pandering to his MAGA cult that tingles when he pretends to be a tough guy, or maybe he really thinks he can get away with it. Whatever his reasoning, he has the unwavering support of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, that is also his primary recruiting pool for his next White House administration.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

At the bottom of the pile of Trump-fluffing Fox News sycophants, is the network’s crass clown, Jesse Watters. And on Friday he delivered one his hallmark harangues that is littered with lies and perverse propositions. In response to the wildfire tragedies unfolding in Los Angeles, California, Watters floated a plan that his Dear Leader Trump would happily sign onto…

“This is biblical-level destruction. And the city of L.A. is hosting the Olympics in four years. There’s no way we can showcase L.A. to the world. A full federal takeover is needed. Invoke the Stafford Act. The state’s overwhelmed. Martial law might have to be declared.”

This sort of fascist dictatorial control is rapidly becoming the goto solution for every problem that Trump World encounters. Watters’ suggestion that the entire state of California be seized by the Feds would disenfranchise the millions of citizens in the state who repudiated Trump in November’s election. And his logic is patently absurd.

Watters is disparaging the efforts of state and local officials, as well as thousands of first responders who are working their arses off to save lives and property. And he’s concluding from that that the 2028 Olympics should be moved out of Los Angeles.

Great idea. Deprive the city of much needed revenue during a time of crisis following a natural disaster. You may notice that Watters never suggested anything like this after the hurricanes and tornadoes that sweep across Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, and the rest of the South every freakin’ year.

In addition to his comments above, Watters also made wholly unfounded accusations about California’s state and local officials. Mediaite reports him saying that…

“Primetime is calling for a federal takeover of California. […] We can’t wait for a recall election. This is an issue of national security. This is a public health emergency.”

[And…]

“The elected officials in California can’t be trusted. They’re criminally negligent. […] If they’re left in charge to rebuild L.A., they’re going to steal the money. Nothing’s going to get rebuilt.”

There is, of course, no basis for making those charges, other than the inbred biases of Watters and his knee-jerk hostility toward anyone who isn’t a fellow member of the Trump cult. And he is permitted to go on the air at Fox News with these slurs despite having no proof whatsoever. Remember, it was Fox News that was forced to settle a defamation lawsuit for $787 million due to lies they told about the 2020 election.

Maybe some of the innocent targets of Watters’ lies will step up to sue him and Fox over this new set of flagrant falsehoods. But rest assured that the residents of California will not sit by idly and let Trump invade their state to impose his tyrannical will on them, like he’s proposing to do to Panama, Canada, and Greenland. That would be a good way to get California to petition for secession.

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE! Convicted Felon Trump Clings to Fox News Legal Hacks at Sentencing Hearing

Posted by on January 10, 2025 at 1:04 pm. 1 Comments :

It’s official! Donald Trump is a convicted felon. On Friday morning he was sentenced in the state of New York for having falsified financial documents in order to cover up his affair with an adult film star so that his infidelity would not impair his electoral prospects. He is thus the first convicted felon to be elected and serve as president of the United States.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Wah

Naturally, Trump’s response to this development was a bellicose burst of babbling about what a pitiful victim he is of some imaginary cabal of diabolical enemies determined to destroy him. His mental deterioration is escalating at a rapid pace as he prepares to reoccupy the White House.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane

Friday’s sentencing hearing featured Trump in a remote appearance complaining about his being given an “unconditional discharge,” which means that he would not be serving any time in prison or paying any financial penalty. Judge Juan Merchan explained that this was the only option available due to Trump’s reelection and the Supreme Court’s granting him immunity for virtually any crime he committed. But apparently, even that was too harsh a sentence for crybaby Trump. He whined to the court that…

“The top legal scholars and legal pundits in this country, the ones that are quoted all the time on television that are making their views felt and highly respected people, have said everyone, virtually everyone that I know of – I haven’t seen any to the contrary, not one – and these people are not exactly friends of mine, to put it mildly – but they all said this is a case that should have never been brought. It’s an injustice of justice. Very respected, Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Judge David Rivkin, a wonderful man who just passed away, by the way, Greg Jarrett, Elie Honig from CNN of all places, CNN said that.”

"Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy … " –Trump during his sentencing hearing today: But Fox News says I'm innocent

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-01-10T16:02:45.198Z

Of course, Trump’s sappy soliloquy was light years removed from reality. There were many legal scholars, on television and elsewhere, who found the charges against Trump to be warranted. He only bothered to mention by name a few who are regular fixtures on Fox News. And if he really believes that those were “everyone that I know of” and that “I haven’t seen any to the contrary, not one,” he is sicker than anyone could have previously imagined. for some accurate analysis, he might want to refer to the highly respected Andrew Weissmann, Neal Katyal, Joyce Vance, or Harry Littman, to name a few.

Trump’s Fox News pundits are staunch devotees of his MAGA cult. Contrary to his claim that they are not his friends, they are longtime Trump-fluffers who have spent years shamelessly defending him on the network that serves as his Ministry of Propaganda. And which also serves as his recruiting pool for his new Cabinet and administration.

SEE ALSO: Trump Names Two More Fox News Flunkies to Join His MAGA Media Infested White House

As for Trump’s fox News pundits being “highly respected,” their analyses were aired on the same Fox News that had to shell out 3/4 of a billion dollars for lying on Trump’s behalf about his “big Lie” that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” from him.

Trump followed up his sentencing hearing with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he dismissed the hearing as “a despicable charade.” He wrote that…

“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers. […] Today’s event was a despicable charade, and now that it is over, we will appeal this Hoax. […] And I’d just like to explain that I was treated very, very unfairly. And I thank you very much.”

Apparently to Trump, his being sentenced for 34 felonies is a pathetic loss for Democrats. Perhaps so, since he was spared prison time that he deserves, and is headed for the White House to renew his assault on democracy and America. But it is hardly a win for him to make history as the first convicted felon president.

Trump actually makes a good point about “wasting 6 years” on his prosecution. But he fails to grasp that it was all his fault for having committed his crimes in the first place. And he is intent on wasting even more time by appealing the sentence that he says was “very, very unfair.” Indeed it was. Because if it were fair he would have been incarcerated long ago like any other defendant. Instead, Trump resorts to his natural state of whining petulantly. Which is something that he has proudly bragged about…

“I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win. I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

Fox News Embraces Dear Leader Trump’s Imperialist Plans to Invade and Annex Greenland and Panama

Posted by on January 8, 2025 at 1:57 pm. NO Comments :

This week Donald Trump held a press conference that will stand the test of time as testimony to just how mentally diseased he was prior to the start of his second occupation of the White House. It was an hour plus of pure bullpucky and puerile propaganda. In other words, it was exactly the same as every other press conference he has held.

Donald Trump Fox News

Among the subjects he mangled were his obsession with filling up on filthy fossil fuels, pardoning his StormTrumpers who assaulted Congress, whining about efforts to bring him to justice for numerous treasonous felonies. And his recent maniacal fetish for confiscating the territories of American allies.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane

While every rational observer recognizes that Trump’s fixation on American expansionism is a dangerous escalation of hostilities with which he is emulating his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, and Adolf Hitler of Germany, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is taking him seriously and marching in lock-step with his malevolent machinations. On Wednesday’s episode of Fox and Friends, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes gave Trump their hearty endorsement.

Ainsley Earhardt (co-host and Sean Hannity’s fiancée): Well, Greenland, strategically, it makes sense. Because it’s the halfway point between our country and the U.K. So it would make sense to have that for war purposes, if we ever got to that point. Also, we have a big space facility there as well. As far as Panama Canal, we built it. 1941 we built it. [Note: it was completed in 1914]. In the seventies it was renamed. [Note: No it wasn’t]. And he wants to take that back. It makes perfect sense. And Gulf of Mexico, if it became Gulf of America… But to me the biggest thing that he said, the biggest accomplishment in the beginning, would be getting these hostages back.

Earhardt’s reasoning is something short of coherent. If the United States were justified in taking over any country that is halfway between itself and some other ally, is there any nation on the planet that would be safe from our cravings of conquest? For instance, France is halfway between the U.S. and Japan. Australia is halfway between the U.S. and India. So let’s take them all over, shall we?

Furthermore, Earhardt’s suggestion that it would make sense to take over any country where the U.S. has military assets would likewise lead to taking over nearly half the planet. And the Gulf of Mexico was named that before the United States ever existed. And as Mexico’s president said, it would make more sense to rename parts of the Western U.S. “America Mexicana.”

Earhardt concluded her babbling with her opinion that Trump’s comments about the hostages currently being held by Hamas in Gaza were his “biggest accomplishment,” which of course, he has not accomplished. What Trump said about that in his press conference was simply a bombastic, pseudo-macho threat that if the hostages are not released before his inauguration, “It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out.”

On this Trump is uncharacteristically correct. “It would not be good for anyone.” Particularly the hostages, who would likely be murdered at the first sign of any Trump led attack. That would be followed shortly by hundreds (thousands?) more fatalities of both innocent Gazans, Israelis, as well as any American soldiers involved. And it would put any hopes of cessation of hostilities or peace agreements much farther away.

Joining the Fox and Friends embrace of Trump’s imperialistic yearnings was Jesse Watters. On his Tuesday night program he explained why he supports Trump’s plan to annex Greenland, saying that “The fact that they don’t want us to take them over makes me want to invade. I want to quench my imperialist thirst.” Which is even stupider that Trump’s explanation that “we need Greenland for national security purposes. People don’t even know if Denmark has any legal right to it.”

In the meantime, Trump would then be saddled with wars in Panama, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East. Which will surely fulfill Trump’s campaign promises to put a halt to illegal immigration, create jobs, and bring down the price of eggs America. Right?

Two New Crockumentaries About January 6th and Melania Show Trump’s Efforts to Rewrite History

Posted by on January 5, 2025 at 2:03 pm. NO Comments :

Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of one of the darkest days of America’s history. On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump was so obsessed with unlawfully retaining power after he lost reelection that he sent his MAGA goons to the Capitol to undermine democracy and the Constitution.

Donald Trump Insurrection

The result was a deadly insurrection that put 140 police officers in the hospital, caused millions of dollars in damage, and threatened the lives of members of Congress, their staffs, and even his own Vice-President, Mike Pence. And four years later, Trump is still deliberately lying about the riots that he incited and describes in glowing terms, saying that “there was a beauty to it and a love to it that I’ve never seen before.”

SEE THIS: On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a ‘Day of Love’

Now Trump is promising to pardon the nearly 1,500 rioters, most of whom pleaded guilty to charges ranging from disturbing the peace to seditious conspiracy. He continues to perversely refer to them as “patriots” and “hostages” who were merely exercising their First Amendment rights.

Sadly, on the eve of the January 6th insurrection’s anniversary, two new “crockumentaries” have been announced purporting to tell the story of Trump and his abhorrent assaults on the principles that define America. And if the old saying that “history is written by the winners,” is true, the history written by Trump about himself and January 6th will be pure pulp fiction.

The first film was the subject of a gala affair that Trump held at Mar-a-Lago this weekend to celebrate, John Eastman, one of the chief architects of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election that he lost decisively to Joe Biden. The party, which for some reason was kept secret, and from which the press was excluded, was revealed by the hosts of “The Weekend” on MSNBC. It’s peculiar that an event announcing a film premiere would be kept under wraps. What were they trying to hide?

Perhaps they had a problem with the public finding out that they, and the film, were honoring Eastman, whose role in attempting to deploy fake electors contributed to his being disbarred. Or maybe they didn’t want publicity about the guests at the affair that included Rudy Giuliani – another disbarred Trump lawyer, Michael Flynn – a Russian asset, Jeffrey Clark – who Trump tried unsuccessfully to install as an acting Attorney General, and ex-con, Peter Navarro.

Then again, maybe they just didn’t want anyone to hear the embarrassingly ignorant remarks that Trump made at the event. Unfortunately for Trump, his remarks were revealed anyway. And they were typically devoid of reason or factual basis. He rambled that…

“I’m a big fan of John Eastman. Ya know, he was right. He happened to be right. That’s why they changed the law and nobody wants to talk about that…They said [Mike Pence is] not allowed to do it. He’s not allowed to do it. And they convinced him he’s not allowed to do it – our vice president. Then right after the election they changed the law so he can’t do it.”

What Trump is referring to is his efforts to pressure Pence into unlawfully refusing to certifying Biden’s election. Which, in fact, he was not allowed to do, according to the Constitution. And the law that was changed afterward was the Electoral Count Reform Act, which Congress amended in a bipartisan vote to prevent future anti-democracy plotters from exploiting the vagaries in the Electoral Count Act of 1887.

The other announcement of a Trump film was made by Fox News. It revealed that filming had begun on a documentary about Melania Trump. She would also be serving as the executive producer, which poses some questions about its credibility and dedication to neutrality and transparency. More likely, it is blatant propaganda and another project to extract money from the Trump Cult by the Grifter-in-Chief.

What Fox News didn’t bother to report was that the Melania biopic is being directed by Bruce Ratner, about whom the Associated Press reports, “marks the first project that Ratner has directed since he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including actor Olivia Munn, in the early days of the #MeToo reckoning in November 2017.”

How appropriate for a Trump family project. It fits in nicely with Trump’s own reported sexual misconduct, that includes his being ordered to pay more than $80 million for the defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll. And also his 34 felony convictions for falsifying financial records, aka “hush money” payments, to adult actor/producer Stormy Daniels. And there’s more where that came from. Which should provide an abundance of material for future documentaries. Hopefully honest and accurate ones.
