Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

Posted by Mark NC on November 12, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump and his MAGA Minions have been pulling out all the stops to protect him, and any other adjacent pedophiles, from the revelations that are lurking in the “Justice” Department’s files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Their determination to keep those files secret belie their claims that they would prove Trump’s innocence. If that were true, they would have released them long ago.

On Wednesday a new batch of Epstein’s emails were made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. They revealed more about how deeply Epstein and Trump were connected. So naturally, Trump Propaganda Secretary, Karoline had to make an appearance in the White House Press Briefing Room to lie about the emails and Trump’s frequent mentions in them. It’s what she has been been doing – very badly – for months…

Among the disclosures about Trump in the emails was Epstein’s statement that one of his victims “spent hours at my house with him [Trump],” and that “Of course he knew about the girls.” At the press briefing Leavitt was asked about the emails by CBS News Senior White House Correspondent, Weijia Jiang.

Jiang: Separate from why you believe these emails were made public, can you address their substance? Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein’s house with a victim?
Leavitt: These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar a Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.

Notice that Leavitt conspicuously didn’t answer the question regarding Trump spending hours with the victim at Epstein’s home. Instead, she made a blanket denial, bizarrely claiming that the emails proved that Trump did nothing wrong. Where exactly they said that is a mystery. She went on to repeat the lie that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago because he was a “pedophile and a creep.”

However there is no evidence of that being the reason for the fallout between them. Trump didn’t even say that. What Trump said was that he booted Epstein for “stealing” his girls from the Mar-a-Lago spa. Although other witnesses have testified that Trump booted Epstein because Epstein tried to cheat Trump out of a real estate deal. PBS published a detailed timeline of these events.

In a statement to the press, Leavitt accused the Democrats of having “selectively leaked emails [to] create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.” She elaborated that…

“These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments. And any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”

If Leavitt is worried about Democrats making selective leaks, she could easily solve that problem by having her boss release everything. But for some reason, they aren’t doing that. Instead, she’s calling the whole thing a “hoax,” which is Trump’s description of any truth that reveals his corruption and dishonesty. For his part, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, whining that…

“The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap […] There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else.”

For the record, The Epstein matter is being brought up on a bipartisan basis. Several notable Republican Trump supporters are pressing the administration to release all of the Epstein files, including Marjorie Taylor Green, Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert. Trump’s comment above is his passive-aggressive threat to them to fall in line or suffer his wrath. Will it work? Stay tuned.

Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him

Posted by Mark NC on November 11, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 2 Comments :

In recent years the mediaverse have been leaning farther and farther to the right. The Washington Post was bought by Jeff Bezos. CBS was acquired by David and Larry Ellison with their purchase of Paramount. CNN’s editorial has shifted rightward. Twitter was devoured by Elon Musk. And that’s just some of the bigger concerns.

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

In addition to news organizations being bought up by MAGA billionaires, other media outlets have been capitulating to pressure from Trump and his MAGA-tized FCC. Both ABC and NBC have paid millions to pacify Trump’s lust for one-sided, rapturous reporting. And programs such as Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have suffered Trump’s wrath, leading cancellation or suspension. These are all familiar tactics used by formerly democratic countries that have transitioned into dictatorships.

SUCH AS: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

However, it is apparently not enough for the Trump regime to dominate conventional media. He also needs to put his boot down on the digital media world. That’s why he launched his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. But that platform is not behaving as gushingly worshipful as he might like or expect.

Sam Stein of “The Bulwark” reported on Tuesday that Truth Social’s Artificial Intelligence app is going woke. It is actually telling the truth about Trump and contradicting his flagrant lies on numerous subjects. Stein posted several examples of how Truth Social’s AI is responding to some questions on current events.

Q: “Do Trump’s Tariffs cost the American people money?”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Tariffs are taxes on imports that U.S. importers pay and largely pass on through higher prices, so the costs are borne mainly by American businesses and consumers.”

Q: “Did Donald Trump lie about the 2020 election being ‘rigged’ and ‘stolen?’”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Courts, Trump’s own advisers, and official investigations found no evidence that the 2020 election was ‘rigged’ or ‘stolen,’ despite his repeated claims.”

Q: “Did people storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2020, because of Donald Trump?”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Multiple official and contemporaneous records attribute the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach to a pro-Trump crowd mobilized around his false election fraud claims and pressure campaign to stop certification.”

Q: “How many wars has Trump ended since taking office in 2025?”
Truth Search AI: “None. There is no verified instance of President Trump formally ending a war since taking office in January 2025.”

Q: “Have grocery prices gone down since Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2025?”
Truth Search AI: “Short answer: No. As of 2025, grocery prices have not fallen since Jan. 20, 2025; they have continued to rise modestly on net.”

When Trump gets wind of this he’s going to go apesh*t trying to figure out who this “A.I.” guy is so he can fire him. He may try to fire former NBA star, Allen Iverson. Perhaps he’ll take it out on Devin Nunes, the former Republican congressman who now runs Truth Social and the Trump Media and Technology Group so poorly.

What makes these responses even more striking is that Truth Social uses AI provided by Perplexity, which allows their clients to filter the news sources that they want the chat bot to use. And Truth Social has taken advantage of that feature to limit their sources to rabidly pro-MAGA sites such as Fox News, Fox Business, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsmax, and JustTheNews. And yet, the app still managed to somehow come up with accurate answers.

MORE HERE: Trump’s Truth Social AI ChatBot Relies Almost Entirely on Fox News and Other Trump-Fluffing Media

So despite their best efforts, the truth really does prevail – sometimes. But that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t their intention to deceive. And anyone who uses Truth Social as a source of information is just begging to be lied to. So the MAGA minions obviously will love it.

WHUT? ‘Doctor’ Oz, Tells Fox News That He Has to Keep Trump’s Healthcare Plans Secret – Why?

Posted by Mark NC on November 10, 2025 at 2:07 pm. 2 Comments :

After more than 40 days, the longest government shutdown in American history is nearing an end. It broke the record that was previously held by – you guessed it – Donald Trump during his first term. However, the deal that was agreed to by Republicans and a handful of Democratic senators is hardly satisfactory to anyone.

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

The deal to end the Trump Shutdown consists mainly of a promise to hold a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) subsidies after the government is open. It also guarantees that fired federal employees will be rehired, and others will receive backpay. Most importantly, it funds SNAP benefits for one year to keep families from starving while Republicans held them hostage to their demands to kill Obamacare.

SEE THIS: Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Many Democrats are not pleased with the deal. They are disappointed that they went through this melodrama without getting significant concessions from Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress. But Republicans aren’t especially thrilled either. They will still have to vote on the ACA subsidies in a couple of months, when they will face another potential shutdown. In the meantime, they will suffer politically for having adopted such a cruel agenda that harms children and seniors.

It is notable that Republicans aren’t taking much of a victory lap upon nailing this down. In fact, they are making excuses and running from questions about the deal that they orchestrated. Among their weakling apologists is Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare Services, “doctor” Mehmet Oz. He dashed over to Fox News for an interview with their Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to try to spin the deal as a win for the GOP. It didn’t go very well.

BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?
DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don’t want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we’re gonna do. We have to have an open government.

BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we're gonna do?

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-10T14:04:00.151Z

REALLY? Oz wants to know why he should “show our cards” to reveal Trump’s healthcare plans. How about because that’s his freakin’ job? This isn’t a top secret military mission. It is a public servant describing what he’s doing on behalf of the people he is supposedly there to serve. It’s his obligation to keep the people informed so that they can make decisions about whether or not these bureaucrats are performing up to their expectations. But Oz has the gall to refuse to tell the people what he’s going to do, and in the same breath say that “We have to have an open government.”

The claim by Oz that he has “lots of great ideas” is obviously a lie. If he did he would be proud to say what they are. But Republicans have been pretending to have an alternative to Obamacare for ten years. And for that entire time they have never presented it to the public. Trump himself has promised his plan in the oft-repeated “two weeks” that has never materialized.

So now we have another promise of a healthcare plan that for some reason needs to be kept secret. And this is the stance that the Trumpists are taking in the wake of their Trump Shutdown. Trump et al will undoubtedly endeavor to spin this as a win for themselves. That’s a lie. Trump and Republicans are already taking the heat for this fiasco. So we shouldn’t help them by bashing our side and suppressing turnout in the future. We are winning and we need to keep up that momentum.

TRUMP AND THE GOP ARE TOAST…? "November has the worst ever consumer sentiment of current conditions since 1951."? "More than 3 in 5 Americans (61%) say that Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions in America."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-10T20:16:48.783Z

What’s more, even if Democrats got the ACA subsidies from the Senate, the House GOP would have voted them down. We could not allow people to starve in the meantime. Democrats need to point that out and, conversely, deploy their own spin as it being a Democratic win. Whether you believe it or not. Our goal needs to be longer term. We need to win elections in 2026 and 2028 and beyond. Unless you think that Republicans would be better.

WTHolyF? Trump Falls for Phony Meme Saying Obama Received Millions in Royalties for Obamacare

Posted by Mark NC on November 9, 2025 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

Anyone who hasn’t yet figured out that Donald Trump is a world-class imbecile who is pitifully incapable of grasping the obvious – or reality – probably still believes in the tooth fairy and needs to sew their name into their hat to remember what it is. In other words, they would be MAGA cult followers.

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

The dangerous dimwittedness of Trump puts America and all of its inhabitants at risk every day. It is particularly evident during a crisis such as the current Trump Shutdown that has resulted in millions of Americans being deprived of critical aid for food, just because Trump and his Republican minions are determined to make them pay more for healthcare.

SEE THIS: Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Consequently, it shouldn’t come as surprise that Trump spent this Sunday morning posting a flurry of deranged comments related to his obsessions with voter ID (i.e. suppression), the divine glory of tariffs, and killing Obamacare. And with regard to the latter, Trump thought it would bolster his arguments by posting a meme that alleged that President Obama has been profiting from his namesake healthcare program. The meme said…

“BREAKING: DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for ‘royalties linked to Obamacare.’ Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars.”

Trump is trying to shift responsibility for the government shutdown (and denial of medical coverage) to the Democrats by attacking Obamacare.Obviously, the post below is flat false. Obama hasn’t earned royalties from the Affordable Care Act. But it goes to show how desperate Trump is to distract.

— Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2025-11-09T17:12:02.289Z

Trump added his own commentary that consisted of the single exclamation “WOW!” Wow, indeed. That would be a shocking revelation, except for one little thing. It isn’t true. In fact, it was originally posted by a satirical website with its own disclaimer saying that “Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Apparently that admonition was insufficient for Trump, who recently did have his head examined. He had a “perfect” MRI for reasons that have never been explained. But medical professionals say that it is rarely prescribed without some diagnostic concern to probe. It could have been to check whether or not Trump was suffering from the sort of cognitive decline that would cause him to believe the preposterous meme that he posted.

Trump: I got an MRI. It was perfect. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. The doctors said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2025-10-27T13:27:30.272738111Z

For the record, the meme has roots that go back several years. FactCheck.org researched it in February of this year and published their findings, saying that…

“In recent days, some social media posts have repeated a fabricated claim that DOGE had halted millions in supposed royalty payments to former President Barack Obama. […] But the claim that the former president had been receiving royalty payments for the health care law he championed was the invention of America’s Last Line of Defense, or ALLOD, which publishes fabricated political stories and claims on its websites and social media pages that it describes as satirical.”

Throughout his occupation of the White House, Trump has been a perpetual source of embarrassment to the nation and humiliation to himself and his party. And just when you think that he has descended to depths that could never be lower, he manages to prove that his ability to plummet ever farther into the bowels of the abhorrent has been grossly underestimated. That’s his superpower.

Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Posted by Mark NC on November 8, 2025 at 10:58 am. 1 Comments :

One thing that Donald Trump deserves credit for is his steadfast determination to make life more difficult for most Americans, while enriching himself, his billionaire pals, and the wealthy corporations that suck up to him. Conversely, he is just as committed to creating hardship for anyone who is insufficiently worshipful.

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

In the midst of the longest government shutdown in United States history (breaking the record set in 2018 by, you guessed it, Donald Trump), the American people are being traumatized by the cutoff of critical SNAP benefits, families are without services from Head Start, airports are trying to stay open without sufficient staff, including air traffic controllers, and so much more chaos and calamity. Meanwhile, Trump is partying at Mar-a-Lago and cavorting with foreign dictators that he admires and seeks to emulate.

SEE THIS: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

The Trump Shutdown is being prolonged because Trump and his Republican MAGA minions in Congress are adamantly opposed to extending the health insurance subsidies provided by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). They even refused a temporary one year extension just to get the government open and resume the services enumerated above. And now Trump has provided his proposal for a new healthcare plan that would be disastrous for anyone stuck with it. He posted the plan on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!”

Trump's latest effort to KILL OBAMACARE makes zero sense.What makes him think there would be better, cheaper insurance to buy from an unregulated market? That doesn't exist now. Insurance companies would still be able to gouge people.He could use that same money to fund MEDICARE FOR ALL!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-08T16:45:09.313Z

As usual, the plan proposed by Trump is an incoherent mess that fails to achieve any beneficial goal. In fact, it would only make things much worse. For Trump’s plan to work it would require regulations that are in Obamacare that he would be eliminating. Insurance companies could go back to denying preexisting conditions. They wouldn’t be required to fully cover preventive care. Companies could raise premiums and cancel patients at will.

Furthermore, Trump’s plan would destroy the risk pool that enables lower premiums. Also, what would happen if people didn’t spend the allocated money on insurance and later were not covered when they got sick? And what makes him think there would be better, cheaper insurance to buy without Obamacare? It would just be returning to the old system where insurance companies could gouge people unfettered by regulation.

As a justification for his plan, Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social that showed that the stock of seven health insurance companies performed well over a period of 15 years, increasing from between about 400% to 1,200%. Which is pretty average over that long a time frame. During the same stretch there was a similar increase in the Dow (330%), S&P 500 (480%), and NASDAQ (900%).

Trump posted this graphic on Truth Social today. What's his point? That health insurance stock did well over 15 years?FYI: During the same time period there was a similar increase in the Dow (330%), S&P 500 (480%), and NASDAQ (900%).If Trump really cared, he could support Medicare for All!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-08T09:22:12.816Z

Trump is using this as his reason for Republicans to reject the one year extension offered by Democrats to end the Trump Shutdown. So Trump and the Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown because they would rather people be forced to pay more for health insurance, or lose it altogether.

However, Trump is ignoring a much more obvious solution to the problem. He could just use the same money that he’s proposing to send out in cash to fund Medicare for All. Which is a real, financially viable option that would actually benefit people rather than corporations. Which is, of course, why Trump and the GOP are so fervently against it.

UPDATE: Later the same day, Trump posted another comment on this subject that managed to exceed the stupidity of his prior comment. He insisted on “TAKING THE ‘FAT CAT’ INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE CORRUPT SYSTEM OF HEALTHCARE” and instead pay “HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS…DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE.” They would then buy their own insurance from the very same “FAT CAT” insurance companies rather than through Obamacare. And for some unexplained reason they would get a “MUCH BETTER POLICY, FOR MUCH LESS MONEY,” despite not having the collective power of the government program and the regulations that protect the consumer’s interests. Great plan, huh?

Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

Posted by Mark NC on November 7, 2025 at 1:51 pm. 2 Comments :

Three days ago Republicans suffered a massive electoral blowout to reenergized Democrats, in which they lost races for critical offices and issues across the country. And they lost by surprising margins. So naturally, Donald Trump has returned to the White House to refocus his attention on the issues that matter most to the American people.

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

And if you believe that, I have a ballroom to sell you in Washington for a mere $4 trillion. The truth is that Trump is continuing to ignore the needs and desires of the American people. He is prolonging a government shutdown that is creating severe hardships for millions. He is fiercely pushing to cut off SNAP benefits for needy children and seniors. And he isn’t doing anything to lower the cost of living, which he promised to do on day one of his second occupation of the White House. We are now on day 292.

SEE THIS: Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship

What Trump is doing is sending $20 billion to his dictator friend in Argentina, Javier Milei. And he is pardoning the felonious billionaire who helped to launch his own crypto business. And on Friday, Trump carved out some of his precious time to entertain the totalitarian prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, at the newly redecorated Palace of Trump – aka the White House.

Trump was effusive in his praise for Orbán, who he adoringly called “a great leader” who is doing “a fantastic job.” Trump gushed that…

“I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they’re jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did.”

Trump: "I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-11-07T19:11:56.849Z

Indeed. Dictators have no problems getting what they want done because, if anyone refuses, they mysteriously fall out of high-rise windows. And Trump is being uncharacteristically honest when he talks about how other leaders are jealous of Orbán. In fact, Trump is referring to himself. He wishes that he could be as domineering as Orbán. He is even employing the Orbán playbook of subjugating the legislature to the autocratic executive, and by taking control of the media through wealthy surrogates who buy up news organizations and reform them into pro-Trump propaganda mills.

MORE HERE: PROPAGANDA WORKS! Fox News and Other MAGA Media Deliver Disciples for Dear Leader Trump (Poll)

The media companies that Trump doesn’t control by ownership, he beats into submission with multi-billion dollar lawsuits. Those suits generally have no legal merit, but the companies agree to settlements out of fear that Trump will abuse his power to harm their business prospects.

Trump’s obsession with being the King of America is thinly veiled. In the same meeting with Orbán, Trump addressed the current state of the nation that is in the midst of the Trump Shutdown. He expressed his desire to end the standoff with Democrats by invoking a procedural measure that would give all of the power to Trump’s MAGA Republicans in the Senate…

“If we do it [eliminate the filibuster in the Senate], we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election. Because we will have produced so many different things for the people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election.”

Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election … it would be impossible to lose an election."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-07T18:19:11.915Z

And there you have it. Trump is explicitly declaring that it is his intention to rule unchallenged for life. He isn’t interested in solving problems for the benefit of all Americans. He is determined to reign as a tyrant who cannot be refused or removed. And he couldn’t care less about the welfare of the American people, as he showed in his infamous “pooping on the people“ video a few weeks ago.

The only things Trump cares about are money and power. He just wants to be like his pals Orbán and Putin. Fortunately, the people he despises are not going to let him do it. 8647 NOW! [And for you hyperventilating MAGA-nauts, that means remove (86) Trump (47)].

Nancy Pelosi’s Retirement Triggers Another Display of Trump’s Heinous, Hateful, Histrionics

Posted by Mark NC on November 6, 2025 at 2:02 pm. 0 Comments :

To say that the retirement of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the end of an era would be a profound understatement. Her four decades of service to her constituents and country, culminating in becoming the first woman to rise to the Speakership, will be recorded in American history as an unprecedented achievement.

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

Among the things that Pelosi will be relieved from in her retirement, are the constant, infantile insults hurled at her by Donald Trump, who is seething with jealousy and a maniacal obsession for vengeance. Trump’s attacks are typically fueled by lies and personal animus. He rarely mentions her name without appending “crooked” or “crazy” to it. And he makes up “scandals” that have no basis in reality.

SEE THIS: FINALLY: Trump Admits that January 6th Was an Insurrection, But Blames it on Nancy Pelosi

After hearing about Pelosi’s intention to retire, Trump was asked by Peter Doocy of Fox News for a comment. And true to form, Trump exhibited his world-class aversion to civility and diplomacy. He raged that…

“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party, and it was never coming back. I’m very honored she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician.”

Trump reacts to Nancy Pelosi retirement:“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country."

— Republicans Against Trumpism (@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social) 2025-11-06T16:12:06.773Z

There is literally nothing in that rant that contains even a shred of truth. Pelosi presided over some of the most productive years of Congress. She did not “lose control,” she passed it on. And her management of the two impeachments of Trump were both successful, as far as their progress in the House of Representatives is concerned.

However, no one should be surprised by Trump’s nauseating remarks that explicitly accuse Pelosi of criminality, albeit without evidence or even a citation of an actual crime. It is just his congenital callousness and habitual hatred that drives everything he does.

To be sure, Pelosi has had some harsh words for Trump at times. She recently described him as “a vile creature,” elaborating that he is…

“The worst thing on the face of the Earth…Because he’s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He’s abolished the House of Representatives. He’s chilled the press.”

It’s hard to argue with that. Although, Pelosi has some extraordinarily moving justification for her negative feelings about Trump. Three years ago, when her husband Paul was the victim of a near fatal attack in their home, Trump made crude jokes about it for the entertainment of the cult followers at his rallies.

When Trump wasn’t laughing at an attempted murder, he was baselessly accusing Pelosi of financial fraud or some unexplained malfeasance related to the January 6th insurrection that he incited, and that was being investigated by Congress.

For her part, Pelosi released an inspiring video that summarized some of her tenure in Congress, her love for her country, and her devotion to public service. It was a touching recollection of a long career that was filled with the sort of dignity and honor that only a true patriot can muster. She said in part that…

“My message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way. And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”

Thank you, San Francisco. pic.twitter.com/OP8ubeFzR6

Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship

Posted by Mark NC on November 5, 2025 at 1:53 pm. 0 Comments :

The results of the 2025 elections were an unqualified blowout for Democrats who won every one of the most consequential contests. They won governorships in New Jersey and Virginia. they won the mayoral race in New York City. They won the California redistricting initiative that will be a prelude to similar measures in other states.

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

Republicans on the other hand lost by unexpectedly large margins. The races mentioned above were not even close. That sort of collapse is generally a harbinger of hard times ahead for the party at the bottom of the heap. And yet, their response to this smackdown is to doubledown on their extremist MAGA-tism with ever more radical proposals that, in many cases, will help Democrats more than the pitifully desperate GOP.

Confirming that Republicans are infected with a fatal case of flop sweat, their Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, held a post-election press conference to exhibit just how removed he is from reality. He told the assemble media that…

“I don’t think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all. I think people are frustrated and angry, as we are, I am, the president is, and we express that in different ways. But we’re looking forward to a great election running on our record.”

Does this election outcome reflect on Republicans? Of course not. Why would the overwhelming votes of millions of people have anything to do with the party that lost so badly? Although, Johnson is right that “people are frustrated and angry.” At Republicans. Which also explains why he and Trump are angry and frustrated.

As for running on their record, Johnson and his MAGA minions are welcome to do that. And Democrats will be happy to help. It’s record that consists of higher prices, less democracy, military invasions of U.S. cities, inflationary tariffs, tax cuts for the rich, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, cutting off food aid, murdering alleged drug traffickers with no evidence, censoring comedians, and protecting pedophiles. What could go wrong?

For his part, Trump followed up the election debacle with a commentary that not only put his ignorance of the plight of the American people on display, it provided further evidence of his mental deficiency. He told a reporters that…

“All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It’s only for one reason: because they cheat.”

Donald Trump has never been to a grocery store or a gas station.Which may explain why he doesn't know or care that groceries and gas is still to expensive. How do MAGAts think this guy is in touch with their lives.

What’s more, if that wasn’t bad enough, Trump offered his excuse for the electoral catastrophe in a posting to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a typically pathetic comment he whined that…

“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT.”

HAHAHAHAHA…Trump thinks he wasn't on the ballot. He's the reason that turnout for Democrats hit record levels. But he's right that the #TrumpShutdown was part of the reason for the GOP election losses.Congratulations California, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and America.

If Trump really thinks that he wasn’t on the ballot, he is more cognitively diminished than we thought. Exit polls showed that many voters specifically showed up at the polls to register their disapproval of Trump. And no one was more insistent that his influence would be a key factor in the election outcomes than he was. As for the government shutdown that he and his GOP confederates orchestrated – and continue to prolong – that was indeed a significant reason for why voters came out in droves for Democrats.

The attitude of Trump and the Republican Party in the wake of their devastating losses is proof that that have no capacity whatsoever for self-reflection or any ability to learn from their mistakes. Which is good news for Democrats. It means that the GOP won’t bother to correct course between now and the midterm elections in 2026. Consequently, the defeats that they suffered yesterday will only be magnified next year. We can hardly wait.

Trump Calls Tens of Thousands of Jews in New York ‘Stupid’ for Voting for Zohran Mamdani

Posted by Mark NC on November 4, 2025 at 12:48 pm. 2 Comments :

It’s Election Day in parts of America and Donald Trump is freaking out because he knows that his candidates and issues are likely to go down hard. Democrats running for governor of New Jersey and Virginia are leading in the polls. And the redistricting initiative in California, that could create five new Democratic districts, is expected to pass in landslide.

Consequently, Trump is behaving just as you might have predicted. He’s lashing out furiously with the sort of vicious and incoherent tirades you’d expect from a grossly impudent five year old. It’s an extension of his recent lie-riddled interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” where he couldn’t string two sentences together without mangling reality or maligning a political foe.

On Tuesday morning Trump previewed the outcomes of the elections being held with his transparently pessimistic perspective in a series of comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Among the tantrums Trump is throwing is one where he whines about “rigged” voting in California, where he’s already conceding defeat. And then there’s the one where he demands that Republicans “terminate the filibuster.” Which isn’t such a bad idea. And he also celebrates low ratings for MSNBC, while ignoring that Fox News declined 36% in the past year. And he announces that he will defy a court order to distribute SNAP benefits to needy families.

However, perhaps the most profoundly grotesque comment was the one where he literally called tens of thousands of Jews in New York City “stupid” if the vote for Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani. Trump ranted that…

“Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani, a proven and self professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!”

Trump, who dines with neo-Nazis at Mar-a-Lago, is calling hundreds of thousands of Jews in New York "stupid." (Fox News poll, Jewish voters: Mamdani 38%, Cuomo 42%).FTR: Mamdani is a "self-professed" advocate for ALL New Yorkers. As usual Trump is lying.www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news…

What a great closing argument by Trump for the mayoral race wherein he has half-heartedly endorsed the disgraced former governor, Andrew Cuomo. Insult one of the biggest voting demographics in the city with a blatantly anti-Semitic taunt. And it’s a voting bloc that was shown in a recent Fox News poll to have significant support for Mamdani, being virtually tied with Cuomo (Mamdani 38%, Cuomo 42%).

This is especially disgusting considering that Trump is a well known “Jew Hater.” He has actually dined with Nick Fuentes, an avowed neo-Nazi, at his Mar-a-Lago hotel/home. And Nick arrived with his anti-Semitic pal, Kanye West, where they both sat at Trump’s table. Trump is also the leader of the party whose “Young Republicans” were recently exposed in online chats saying that they “love Hitler.” Trump never bothered to rebuke those sentiments.

The desperation in Trump’s election day rants is unlikely to change the outcome of today’s races. If anything, it might make the defeat of Trump’s candidates and issues even more pronounced. And we can expect that before the sunrises on Wednesday, Trump will be insisting that all of the races were “rigged and stolen.” And he’ll probably blame it all on President Biden who, in Trump’s cartoon brain, is both a political genius and a mental basket case.

FACT CHECK: Serial Liar Trump Unleashed a Fury of Flagrant Falsehoods (aka Lies) on 60 Minutes

Posted by Mark NC on November 3, 2025 at 1:07 pm. 0 Comments :

It is a rare occurrence when Donald Trump allows himself to be interviewed by anyone other than one of the slobbering sycophants who populate the MAGA media outlets like Fox News or Newsmax or One America News Network. It is evidence of his innate cowardice, insecurity, and fear of being asked a question that is more difficult than “How did you become so handsome and brilliant?”

Which may have sparked some curiosity when it was announced that Trump would be interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Norah O’Donnell. Although it shouldn’t have for reasons that will be dealt with in more detail below. On the surface, it seemed peculiar that Trump would appear on the network and program that he recently sued for alleged “election interference.”

True to form, Trump delivered a performance that was rife with deflection and dishonesty. When he wasn’t making up fantastical diversions from reality, he was swerving off into unrelated responses to questions he either didn’t know the answers to, or was too afraid to reply with anything resembling the truth.

Fortunately, CNN’s designated fact-checker, Daniel Dale, was on the job. He posted a pretty comprehensive summation of the many lies that Trump tried to pass off as coherent replies to inquiries on some serious matters. What follows are some of the more egregiously truthless Trumpisms itemized in Dale’s article…

It’s not true grocery prices “are down”; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they’re up
It’s not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now” (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated “announcements” figure)
It’s not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times” (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
It’s not true Trump has ended “eight wars” (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren’t wars at all
It’s not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
It’s not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” (his usual lie)
It’s not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
It’s not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
It’s not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle
It’s not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants

It’s ironic that Trump is lying so profusely during a “60 Minutes” interview. He sued CBS over an interview they conducted with Kamala Harris that he said was election interference and “probably illegal.” CBS settled the lawsuit without apologizing or conceding any wrongdoing. But they still shelled out $16 million dollars for his presidential library, if there is ever is one.

That settlement was a more of a bribe that CBS was paying to insure that mob boss Trump wouldn’t block the merger that CBS’ parent corporation, Paramount, was trying to complete with Skydance Media, a company run by Trump pals, Larry and David Ellison. There was no legal reason to settle. The case had no merit whatsoever. Trump was alleging that “60 Minutes” had improperly edited the interview to favor Harris politically. They didn’t.

What’s more, Trump acknowledged that he knew that CBS would be editing his interview. Which they did. It was whittled down from 90 minutes to about 28, in much the same way that he complained about for the Harris interview. And while it was in progress, Trump revealed that, not only was he aware of the editing, but he gave CBS permission to edit out specific parts that exposed the bias of the network’s new owners in his favor…

“You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you. […] I think you have a great new leader, frankly, who’s – the young woman [Bari Weiss] that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know – I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person. But ’60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took her [Kamala Harris] answer out that was so bad it was election-changing.”

So Trump sued CBS for what they did with the Harris interview, which is also precisely what he was now conspiring with CBS to do for his own interview. And the rest of the time he was lying. Of course, most of America – and the world – is already aware that Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. But the reputation of CBS is now pretty much shot to hell. And unless the honest journalists who haven’t quit yet rise up to defend the free press, CBS can take their place in the MAGA Media Hall of Shame.
