Crybaby Trump Posts a Rambling Rant Begging People to Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on September 5, 2025 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

On Friday morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly report on jobs for August 2025. The numbers were a painfully low 22,000, missing economist’s predictions of 75,000. However, they were consistent with the poor performance that Donald Trump has delivered for each of the past seven months since his reoccupation of the White House.

Donald Trump, Twitter

This report was prepared after Trump fired the head of the BLS last month because he didn’t like the terrible results reported then. It’s what Trump does whenever he’s not satisfied that government agencies are lavishing sufficient praise on him that he doesn’t deserve.

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

Trump generally responds to this sort of news with wildly incoherent harangues posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion, however, he posted nothing about the report at all. What he did post was a tediously long screed about the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

So Trump was so worried about the potential harm from the abysmal jobs report that he poured more fuel on the Epstein fire that he has been trying desperately to extinguish for several weeks. What follows are a few select excerpts with annotations.

“[Democrats] did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!”
Those are, of course, all things done by Republicans and politically unaffiliated wealthy men. Most notably, Donald Trump himself. Also, many Democrats were calling the release of the Epstein files since way back when he died in prison.

“[Democrats], out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims.”
Which even now, Trump and the GOP are incapable of. To the contrary, he has been disparaging the victims as liars and perpetrators of a hoax.

“Where were they during his very public trials?”
Trump is hallucinating again. Epstein never stood for trial. He agreed to a controversial plea bargain on state charges in 2008 (negotiated with Trump’s current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his former Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta). Then he died before his federal trial on sex trafficking on Trump’s watch in 2019.

“The now dying…Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats.”
The case was revived by Trump’s reelection and his appointment of Bondi and Kash Patel (FBI Director). Trump, Bondi, and Patel were all loud advocates for releasing all of the Epstein files during the 2024 campaign. But they all abandoned that position after taking office. That led to mostly Trump supporters, not Democrats, demanding that they keep their campaign promises.

“[T]he DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress! […] The Department of Justice has done its job, they have given everything requested of them.”
Trump and his Justice Department have twice released thousands of pages of documents that were already public. And even those amount to a tiny percentage (about 3%) of the total, which also includes videos. It is a far cry from “everything requested.”

“This is merely another Democrat HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the others, in order to deflect and distract from the great success of a Republican President.”
Tell that to the victims. Oh, wait. He did. And as for his “great success,” he’s proven that with the latest jobs report, along with his failure to lower the cost of living, end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, or fulfill any of his other promises, except for harassing immigrants and persecuting his political foes.

“It’s time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”
This can be done by Trump simply directing the DoJ to release all of the Epstein files, that he still refuses to do. What is he so afraid of? And his repetitious use of the “hoax” label for everything that he disputes has become cartoonishly comical.

So in his attempt to deflect from how badly he has botched his duty to create jobs for the American people, he has managed to steer attention to Epstein, the subject that he was previously working so hard to deflect from. Now both of these fiascos are uppermost on the minds of the American public. Nice Work, Donnie.

Trump Declares that ‘The Days of Stupidity Are Over’ in a Stupid Anti Wind and Solar Energy Rant

Posted by on August 20, 2025 at 1:38 pm. 0 Comments :

What could be more hysterical than Donald Trump whining about the stupidity of anyone else? And yet, it is something that he does with increasing frequency and ferocity. Psychologists might diagnosis it as a latent inferiority complex with an obsessive compulsion to compensate for his deficiencies. But that’s only a partial explanation.

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

Donald Trump Climate Change

Trump also harbors deep sentiments of resentment and envy. Particularly with regard to anyone who dares to criticize him, or is otherwise insufficiently worshipful. Those sentiments emerge often with crazed outbursts aimed at Black women, who he routinely maligns as “low IQ,” including Jasmine Crockett, Kamala, Harris, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and more.

SEE THIS: Jasmine Crockett Tells the Truth About Trump, So He is Attacking Her and Other Women of Color

However, it is Trump’s IQ that is the most obviously deficient. Never mind his tedious repetition of having passed a cognitive test that doesn’t even measure IQ. He is a bottomless pit of ignorance and malaprops that would have institutionalized anyone without great wealth and/or power.

So it is laughable that Trump just declared that “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!” How would he know? His declaration was in reference to his determination to get rid of alternative energy sources in favor of what he ridiculously calls “clean, beautiful, coal,” and his passion to “drill baby drill” for unlimited barrels of oil. He prefers an energy plan that sickens those who work in the industry, and poisons the planet for everyone else. Trump raged on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS. THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!! MAGA”

Virtually every word of that harangue is a lie – and pretty darn stupid. To begin with, Trump might be surprised to learn that his hostility toward many of the states that have invested in clean energy are predominantly Republican. In fact, the state with the most generation of wind and solar energy is Texas.

“As the national leader in wind power generation, Texas produced 124,936 GWh of wind energy. Texas also ranks second in solar power, just behind California, at 44,506 GWh produced in 2024. By the end of 2024, the Lone Star State produced 166,660 GWh of renewable energy, or about 16% of our national clean energy supply. That’s enough green energy to power over 15 million U.S. households for a year! […] [T]heir competitive market is driving clean energy investments that benefit millions of Texas homes and businesses.”

The top ten clean energy producing states also include Iowa, Oklahoma, and Florida. Which raises the question of what the Republican governors of those states think of Trump’s anti-stupidity initiative.

What’s more, Trump’s assertion that states with significant wind and solar production “are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS,” is likewise false – and stupid. The truth, according to the U.S. Department of Energy is that…

“Energy innovations can significantly help reduce American’s energy bills. In fact, in many parts of the country, renewable energy innovations like solar and wind energy are the cheapest forms of new electricity generation.”

This nonsense is nothing new for Trump. He has been making these preposterous allegations for years. And as part of his derangement, he asserts that wind turbines kills birds, drives whales crazy, and cause cancer. And he wants to prohibit farmers from deciding how their land is used. If they want to earn extra income by utilizing available land for solar panels or wind turbines, tough luck. In another recent outburst, trump complained that…

“We’re putting up wind, wind. It doesn’t work. […] [W]ith all of the windmills that China sends us where we waste our money because it’s the most expensive energy – you know they make about 95% of them, wind turbines – I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that?

Once again, that is easily verified as entirely untrue. In fact…

“China’s wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country and as much as all of Europe and North America combined, data from energy think tank Ember shows.”

The dishonesty – and stupidity – of Donald Trump is flying off the charts. His lies number in the tens of thousands. It would be far easier to count the number of times that he has told the truth on your hands and feet. And you probably wouldn’t even need to take off your shoes.

Trump Has (Another) Senior Moment Forgetting How Much He Hates ‘Sleepy Eyes’ Chuck Todd

Posted by on August 12, 2025 at 1:45 pm. 3 Comments :

The sundowning mental acuity of Donald Trump becomes more evident with each passing day. His verbal gaffes, factual distortions, angry outbursts, and general incoherence and departures from reality would justify commitment to an institution for anyone other than the power mongering leader of a political cult.

Donald Trump WTF

Trump has manifested the Woody Allen joke wherein he laments a relative who is so crazy that he thinks he’s a chicken. But the family won’t get him help because…they need the eggs. That perfectly describes Trump’s family and his disciples in Congress and the media who regularly cover for Trump and sanewash his sickness. They know he’s nuts, but they rely on it to retain their power and wealth. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation has to suffer the humiliation of having Trump occupying their White House.

SEE THIS: OK, So Trump is a Felon, Liar, Racist, Adulterer, and Grifter. He’s Also Just So Damn Embarrassing

This week we have already seen Trump say that he was going to meet Vladimir Putin in Russia, when the meeting will be in Alaska. He has claimed to have reduced drug prices by a mathematically impossible 1,500%. And on Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he offered damning praise for former NBC correspondent, Chuck Todd…

“‘I don’t think we’ve had anybody with this much impact on the Country since FDR.’ Chuck Todd, formerly of NBC FAKE NEWS, in an interview with journalist David Brody. Wow, thank you Chuck. I always said that you were far better than the scum that runs the FAKE NEWS at NBC and, especially, Brian Roberts and ‘Concast.’ You are a Free Man now. Congratulations – Use your time well!”

To be sure, virtually everything that Trump does and says these days is intended to deflect from his unsavory relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. As for “journalist” David Brody, he is actually a Trump-fluffing squawking head on the Christian Broadcasting Network. But more to the point, Trump seems to have completely forgotten how he really feels about Chuck Todd. Over the course of many years Trump has attacked him as a disseminator of “fake” news with a typically infantile Trump nickname. For instance…

  • March 27, 2024: “Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd, who was fired for dismal performance coupled with horrendous television ratings.”
  • May 7, 2023: “So funny to watch Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd on Meet the Fake Press.”
  • April 9, 2023: “highly partisan Democrat anchor “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd.”
  • July 7, 2022: “Is Chuck Todd Ready To MEET HIS DEMISE?”

Now, suddenly, Trump adores Todd and congratulations him on his freedom to exalt Trump. Except that isn’t what Todd wasn’t actually doing. Obviously somebody fed Trump an edited version of Todd’s remarks. The comments in context were merely pointing out that Trump had an impact, but that it wasn’t necessarily a positive one. Todd continued…

“Culturally, in particular. Certainly, in how even our politics is conducted. In that sense, I think the question is does he have impact on policy for decades to come? […] These are things that, you and I know, are things that the previous Republican Party would have…’How dare government tell business what to do?’ And yet there’s no outcry.”

For the record, here a few others who have had an “impact” America: Adolf Hitler, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Osama Bin Laden. That is the company that Trump is in. It is often difficult to come to the defense of Todd, who frequently sanitizes Trump, and other Republican extremists, with his trademark bothsiderisms. And even in these remarks he watered down the most salient points. But he was not praising Trump, as Trump believes.

In other comments posted to Truth Social, Trump was equally off kilter. In one he brazenly lied that…

“Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs, which has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else. It has been proven, that even at this late stage, Tariffs have not caused Inflation […] Consumers aren’t even paying these Tariffs.”

Reality begs to differ. As reported in the New York Times…

“U.S. Inflation Report Shows Effects of Trump’s Tariffs: A gauge of underlying inflation in July showed prices increasing at the fastest annual pace in five months, a sign that businesses are passing along tariff-related costs to customers.”

In another example, Trump continued his whining about Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, for not lowering interest rates. He even escalated his complaint with a threat suggesting his intention to fire Powell…

Trump is still bashing – and threatening – Fed chair Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates.But the Trump economy is running too hot and inflation is rising. Increasing interest rates will make that worse.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-12T17:07:05.193Z

Once again, the real world interceded to correct Trump’s deranged misunderstanding of economics and current events. Granted, it is not always clear if Trump is just being ignorant, delusional, or dishonest. But the result is the same. It is destructive and dangerous and contrary to democratic governance. And the sooner he is stopped from his egomaniacal, authoritarian ambitions, the better. Keep up the resistance. And hopefully his family will get him the help that he so sorely needs.

UH-OH! Fox News Op-Ed Tells the Truth About Trump’s Awful Economy and Broken Promises (AKA Lies)

Posted by on August 8, 2025 at 2:52 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past six months much of the mainstream media has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity for indifference to the glaring severity of Donald Trump’s cognitive deficiencies. While he embarks on daily excursions into rambling incoherence, spine-chilling ignorance, and unabashed lies, the press has largely failed to adequately report the measure of his mental decline.

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

As a result, we see Trump repeatedly bragging that he has cut drug prices by 1,500% (which is mathematically impossible), that his taxes/tariffs have brought in hundreds of billions of dollars (that are paid by American consumers), that he has personally ended half a dozen wars (in his cartoon brain), and weighing in on the most important issues of the day, such as Stephen Colbert being canceled and Sydney Sweeney’s jeans…

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

All of this makes it somewhat surprise that a less than flattering editorial was published by Fox News Friday morning. The article featured the headline: “Trump Breaks ‘Day One’ Promise to Lower Costs as Prices Surge Across America in First Six Months” While that isn’t exactly breaking news to anyone who has been paying attention, it is outside of the political lanes that Fox News generally straddles. The article began…

“The defining promise of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was lower costs on ‘Day One.’ He broke it. The first six months of this administration have been marked by ever-higher prices. […]

“The campaign trail promises sounded too good to be true, because they were. Trump committed to ‘end’ inflation, cut energy costs ‘in half,’ make health care more affordable, and that Americans would see ‘drastic price reductions’ and cheaper groceries.”

None of those promises were fulfilled. Although Trump claimed credit for succeeding on all counts, without ever providing a shred of evidence to support his claims. In fact, when data was revealed that proved how badly he has performed, he fired the those responsible for providing the data, and ordered a his regime to take over the data gathering agencies and reshape them to his liking.

It’s notable that this Fox News editorial, authored jointly by a former Bush aide and a former Biden aide, appeared only on the Fox website. It has not been reported on their cable network. To the contrary, the network’s reliably Trump-fluffing sycophants have obediently spewed the dishonest propaganda prepared for them by the White House. Nevertheless, expect Trump to freak out and call Fox “fake news.”

For his part, Trump was hard at work at his usual post – dropping ludicrous comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. in an excerpt from a tediously long tirade about tariffs and court rulings, he raged that…

“If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION!”

To reiterate, the “massive sums of money” that he’s ranting about are paid by American consumers. And his efforts to instill fear of a 1929 style “GREAT DEPRESSION” are the typical tactics of aspiring authoritarians to frighten the masses into submission. In reality, the tariffs are inflationary and need to be withdrawn. And the courts are merely being asked to uphold the Constitution that stipulates that only Congress can impose tariffs.

It would be helpful if Fox News would expose their viewers to the facts revealed in the editorial. But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. More broadly, it would be helpful for the media to report on Trump’s mental health, or lack thereof. They seemed obsessed with covering President Biden’s age-related imperfections, but they are brazenly ignoring the far worse maladies of Trump whose madness is undeniable, and who is currently in a position to do much greater harm.

WTF are they waiting for? Trump to start a nuclear war? Because he has already talked about it. And in the meantime, he’s conspiring to amass tyrannical power, incarcerate opponents, take over city and state governments, rig elections, and shut down the free press. The threat is real and is bearing down upon us now. There is literally no time to waste.

Fox News Trump-Fluffer Says that Rising Inflation is ‘Another Victory for President Trump’

Posted by on July 15, 2025 at 1:15 pm. 0 Comments :

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for the month of June. And consistent with the expectations of economic forecasters, it reveals that inflation in the U.S. has increased again under the profoundly incompetent stewardship of Donald Trump.

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

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo

Trump has only been in office for about six months. But in that short span of time he has succeeded in reversing the growth and stability that President Biden brought to the nation’s economy following the debacle that he inherited from Trump’s first occupation of the White House. Trump’s agenda rests heavily on recessionary initiatives such as his ill-considered tariffs, and his wildly unpopular “Big Ugly Bailout for Billionaires Act” (BUBBA). All of the harm from which he manages to blame on Democrats.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

The CPI numbers for June showed that inflation is on the rise. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. The impact of the Trump tariffs (aka taxes) alone would insure a worsening inflation situation. and the tariffs haven’t even gone fully into effect yet. Nevertheless, as reported by CBS News, the damage is already being felt by the American people…

“The CPI was forecast to rise 2.7% last month, higher than last month’s rate of 2.4%, according to economists polled by financial data firm FactSet. June’s reading is the highest since February, when the CPI rose 2.8% on an annual basis.” […]

“Food prices rose 3% on an annual basis last month, higher than the overall inflation rate. Items that have seen big cost increases since last June include eggs, which are up 27.3%, roasted coffee, which is up over 12.7%, and ground beef, which is up 10.3%. Meanwhile, energy was a large source of inflation, with energy prices rising 0.9% on a month-over-month basis.”

While the cost of living is going up for American consumers, Trump is gaslighting them by insisting that just the opposite is true. They are not buying it – in more ways than one. Trump has been repeatedly lying that prices for everything from eggs to gas are at record lows. And he is getting support for those lies from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Fox’s Senior Trump-fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, had a ludicrous take on the CPI numbers just released, saying that…

“You’ve got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation — and that’s what we’re seeing from this report again.”

Maria Bartiromo on today's inflation report: "You've got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation — and that’s what we're seeing from this report again. "

— TrumpReposter (@trumpreposter.bsky.social) 2025-07-15T14:59:16.005Z

No, actually, you do not have to look at it that way. And as noted above, that’s not what we’re seeing in the report. It is, however, what Fox News and Trump want you to think that you see. And to that end, Trump posted a link to that Bartiromo comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Among those who have pointed out the dishonesty of how Trump and Fox News distort the economic data from their own agencies, is – checks notes – Maria Bartiromo? Yep. In April she reported that Trump’s tariffs will fuel higher prices and recession, saying that…

“It is going to have an effect on Main Street. Some things will become higher priced. We will see some products actually be raised in price because companies will pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers. I would expect that.”

Is that also “another victory for President Trump”? Perhaps in his diseased mind it is. If nothing else, what Trump falsely believes is a “PERFECT” economy warrants the termination of Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Following the CPI release, Trump posted a comment aimed at Powell that said “Consumer Prices LOW. Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!!” He has previously posted some infantile insults of Powell in an effort to coerce him to resign. For instance, he said that…

“‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell is costing our Country Hundreds of Billions of Dollars. He is truly one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government.”

This would be a good time to remember that Powell was appointed to Chair the Fed Board by – checks notes again – Donald Trump! Now, like so many other Trump appointees, he regards his own people as “dumb” and “incompetent,” and even “treasonous.” And why wouldn’t they be? Those are all characteristics that apply perfectly to Trump.

Pathological Liar! Trump’s 3 Biggest Lies He Told on July 4th – Or Maybe Just the Dumbest

Posted by on July 5, 2025 at 1:45 pm. 1 Comments :

It may not be regarded as news anymore when Donald Trump is caught uttering blatant falsehoods without an iota of shame. He has done it tens of thousands of times since his emergence as a public figure. And sadly, the media has become inured to Trump’s deliberate dishonesty and often neglects to give it the attention it deserves.

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

Trump Lies

Trump’s deceptions are still frequent and more dangerous than ever. They distort everything from national security, to the economy, to law and justice, to health matters, and so much more. And despite the transparency of his untruths, his worshipful cult disciples embrace whatever Dear Leader tells them as if it were gospel. Never mind how maniacally insane and hostile his outbursts have become.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

Not surprisingly, Trump spent the July 4th holiday disgorging his daily quota of lies. Most of them were tangentially related to his signing of the “Big Ugly Bill” (BUB) that will terminate the health insurance of millions of Americans, deprive low income families of food, and finance more fascist apprehensions of migrants. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and exploding the national debt.

Melded into this monstrosity of malice were some of Trump’s most flagrant lies. What follows are three of the most notable. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list. That would be both prohibitively time consuming given the quantity of his lies, and redundant given his penchant for repeating the same lies incessantly. But it is a representative sample of Trump’s psychotic dysfunction.

Let’s begin with Trump’s assertion that the BUB is “the most popular bill ever signed in history.” Not only is that a lie, but the truth is the the complete opposite. It may be the least popular bill ever signed. Every poll shows that American people are steadfastly opposed to it. Even the Fox News poll has it 21 points underwater.

Not only is the #BigUglyBill not "the most popular bill ever signed in history"…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:26:59.919Z

Next we have Trump’s claim that his BUB delivers “no tax on Social Security.” Nope. That is not in the bill. While it does have an increased standard deduction that could reduce the tax owed by some recipients, there is no language that exempts Social Security from taxation. Furthermore, the bill ignores the single most impactful reform for Social Security, which would be raising or eliminating the cap on the income subject to FICA withholding. Also, the provisions related to taxes on tips and overtime are temporary, while the tax cuts for the rich are permanent.

Trump blatantly lies that his #BigUglyBill delivers "no tax on social security." That is not in the bill.What's more, the cuts for taxes on tips and overtime are limited and expire in two years. The cuts for corporations and the wealthy are broad and permanent.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:23:19.415Z

Finally, Trump unleashed a typically incoherent rant about energy wherein he gushed about what he called “clean, beautiful coal,” while raging over wind, saying that…

“We’re putting up wind, wind. It doesn’t work. I will tell you, aside from ruining our fields and our valleys, killing all the birds, being very weak and very expensive, all made in China. You know, I noticed something, with all of the windmills that China sends us where we waste our money because it’s the most expensive energy – you know they make about 95% of them, wind turbines – I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that? Somebody check that out, Tom Emmer will you please check that out.”

So which is it: Is Trump lying, stupid, or both?"China widens wind power lead with new generation record: China's wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country."reuters.com/world/china/…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T17:07:19.346Z

For the record, this is what Trump says that he has never seen, as reported by Reuters, “China widens wind power lead with new generation record“…

China’s wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country and as much as all of Europe and North America combined, data from energy think tank Ember shows.

“The production total was 25% more than during the same month in 2023, and helps extend China’s dominant position as by far the world’s largest renewable energy producer [and is] part of Beijing’s ambitious plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.”

So while China is taking the lead in the future of clean energy production and technologies, Trump is ensuring that the U.S. races full speed backwards to the early 1900s when fossil fuels sickened millions of workers and poisoned the environment for everybody else.

These are just a handful of Trump’s horrific distortions of reality. In the same speech he dropped a grossly anti-Semitic slur referring to bankers as “shylock.” He declared that he hates all Democrats, who comprise more than half of the country’s population and about half of their representatives in Congress. And he celebrated the passage of the BUB by accepting a gift of the gavel used by GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, at the close of the vote. Which could not have been a more appropriate symbol of how Congress has subjugated itself to their master and messiah, Trump…

The symbolism of this is just too much.GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson hands over control of the House of Representatives to the aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump as he signs the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that the American people oppose.

Jamie Raskin Responds to Big Baby Trump’s Pitifully Infantile Harangue Calling Him an Ugly Dope

Posted by on July 3, 2025 at 2:21 pm. 2 Comments :

The notoriously childish temper of Donald Trump has once again raised it’s bobblehead to whine petulantly about some perceived slight that bruised his tender sensitivities. Nothing is more predictable that the rattled reaction by Trump if his fee-fees have been hurt by a Democrat having the audacity to criticize His MAGA-STY.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Whenever Trump is subjected to even the most trivial negative rendering of his severely unstable psychoses, he lashes out with the fearsome ferocity of a terrified gnat caught in a vacated spider web. He is inherently incapable of laughing off a minor affront or tolerating the insolence of someone daring to disagree with him.

SEE THIS: What 1st Amendment? Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Imaginary Crimes Against Dear Leader

Consequently, the stage was set when Democratic Rep. Jaime Raskin had a few unflattering observations about Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” that he just shoved down the throats of his Republican colleagues in Congress – not to mention the rest of America and the world. Raskin took to the well of the House of Representatives to reveal what he mockingly called the “preamble” to the GOP legislation, saying that…

“We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people’s defenses, undermine the general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and posterity, staggering debt servitude for eternity…

“…due hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by $4 trillion, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America.”

The GOP's Medicaid-busting tax scheme is filled with poison pills antithetical to the values of our people. So I wrote a proper preamble for their big, ugly bill.

Well, that was enough for Trump to go off halfcocked with a tantrum on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He unleashed a load bile that a seven year old would have been embarrassed to say aloud. Trump raged that…

“Rep. Jamie Raskin, a third rate Democrat politician, has no idea what is in our fantastic Tax Cut Bill, nor would he understand it if he did. This DOPE has been consistently losing to me for YEARS, and I love watching his ugly face as he is forced to consistently concede DEFEAT TO TRUMP — And tonight should be another of those nights. Raskin is a bad politician, and a TOTAL LOSER!”

First of all, Rep. Raskin has a far better idea of what’s in the bill than Trump. And not just because he read it, while Trump probably used it as coaster for his Diet Coke. As for understanding it, Raskin graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. He was a constitutional professor prior to being elected to Congress. He is currently the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.

However, something that surely sticks in Trump’s wrinkled craw is that Raskin was the lead impeachment manager for Trump’s second impeachment that addressed the violent insurrection that he incited on January 6, 2021.

There is really no need to delve into Trump’s infantile insults of Raskin as a “dope” or as “ugly” or as a “loser.” Those are just more examples of Trump seeing himself in the people that he despises. It’s called projection. And along with his malignant narcissism, is one of the more obvious psychological maladies that he appears to suffer from.

Following Trump’s online outburst, Raskin offered up his own replies. In one he responded to Trump’s tweet directly referencing Trump’s stunted emotional growth, or lack thereof…

Raskin also addressed the Crybaby-in-Chief during an interview on Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC program, where he demonstrated how an adult behaves when confronted by cranky 79 year old toddler…

Raskin: "I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote in two different elections and the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection"

There is a lot to be worried about with Trump having resumed his occupation of the White House. He is obliterating the economy. He is goading other nations into war. He is orchestrating a fascist reshaping of American law and order. And he is clamping down on the free press that is guaranteed in the Constitution’s First Amendment. On the plus side, he is motivating the progressive resistance.

With all of that going down, it may seem frivolous to focus on this sort attack by Trump on a member of Congress. But it is all connected. The same mental dysfunction that drives Trump to bully his political foes, is what produces his dangerously ignorant and self-serving policies. And the only solution is for him to be removed from office as quickly as possible. Or at least neutered. Y’all up for a third Impeachment? 25th Amendment? LFG!

Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

Posted by on June 29, 2025 at 12:50 pm. 0 Comments :

The deteriorating mental state of Donald Trump is becoming impossible to ignore, even for some of his most ardent sycophants. Not that they will muster the courage to challenge him. But there is clearly a widening gap between the explosive dia-rhetoric that Trump is disgorging, and what passes for reality amongst the rest of his party, and more broadly, the rest of America.

Donald Trump

The unmooring of what remains of Trump’s sanity has been evident in his raving and deranged outbursts regarding the promotion of his wildly unpopular, so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB), that adds billions to the deficit and removes millions from their health insurance. It’s evident in the delusional math that he applies to his tariffs, that will be paid by American companies and consumers. It’s evident in his hype following the bombing of Iran, that he says “completely obliterated” their nuclear facilities, in contradiction of independent analysis and even his own intelligence staff.

Trump is so far removed from the real world that only his most devoted cult followers can accept his ludicrous lapses of cognition.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

In a late night bout of hysterics on Saturday, Trump unleashed a rambling, incoherent eruption of animus toward his perceived enemies, who always seem to be fellow Americans. On this occasion it was Democrats who oppose his “Big Ugly Bullsh*t” that were on the receiving end of his unhinged wrath. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was typical of his fevered hate-speech, saying that…

“Republicans must remember that they are fighting against a very evil, corrupt and, in many ways, incompetent (Policywise!) group of people.”

It’s notable that Trump only speaks this way about Americans. He would never say such things about Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping. He went on lie that…

“The Democrats would LOVE to see the Biggest Tax Hike in History (68%!), No Border Spending (Open Borders!), and a weak, underfunded Military.”

Of course, none of that remotely resembles anything that Democrats have advocated. It’s all inventions of Trump’s diseased mind. And he wasn’t finished. He added a bizarre complaint that Democrats “have House and Senate Rules that give Great Power to their Leaders – Committee Chairmanships.” But as Democrats are currently in the minority in Congress, they aren’t making the rules and they have no committee chairmanships at all.

Trump then segued to bragging about his fellow MAGA Republicans that he said are “wonderful people and phenomenal Policy, and that should win Elections every single time!” That came as he was simultaneously trashing GOP senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul for not voting for his BBB. Then Trump posted another comment railing against Democrats “because they’re nasty people who actually hate our Country.”

Trump’s demeaning of Democrats as hating the country is another example of his psychotic projection, wherein he accuses others of having his own emotional maladies. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he has a propensity for hatred. He hates the Constitution that he regularly dismisses and defiles. He hates America’s allies, but loves its enemies. But most of all, he hates his fellow Americans. Whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or independents. Why else would push legislation down our throats that majorities of the people don’t want?

This is what the America people think of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that Trump and the GOP are shoving down the nation's throat. Note that even the Fox News poll has it underwater by 21 points.

Trump’s Favorite Fox News Flunky Affirms that the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Has Steep Medicaid Cuts

Posted by on June 17, 2025 at 12:56 pm. 1 Comments :

On May 22, 2025, the House of Representatives passed – by a single vote – what Trump preposterously named the “Big Beautiful Bill:” a budget hodge-podge of ultra-rightist economic reforms that advance the conservative agenda of enriching the already wealthy, at the expense of working class Americans, while exploding the national debt.

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump

Ever since then Republicans have been desperately trying to convince, aka deceive, the American people that this upper-crusty sham would benefit them, despite the repudiation by virtually every independent analysis. That includes the Congressional Budget Office – which is headed by a republican – and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, who confirmed that it would throw millions of people off of their Medicaid plans. Which didn’t stop Trump from lying about it…

SEE THIS: Trump Celebrates the House Passing His ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ in the Most Trumpian Way – By Lying

After the full-court press by Trump and Company to plant the lie that the bill wouldn’t impact Medicaid or its users, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda has stumbled off the path of MAGA righteousness by actually admitting that it does impact them, in a big way. And this diversion was done by none other than the Fox News Senior Trump-fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, who while interviewing a GOP congressman said that…

“Let me move on to the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and the the Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump’s bill yesterday. It includes major tax reforms and even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for.”

UH-OH! Senior Fox News Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, says that the Senate version of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" contains "even steeper Medicaid cuts."But Trump and the GOP have been denying that there are ANY Medicaid cuts. Will he send her to El Salvador now?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-17T17:00:17.915Z

UH-OH! Bartiromo is undoing weeks of determined bullshittery by the GOP to beguile the gullible into believing that the bill would be their economic salvation. They have been denying that there are any Medicaid cuts at all in the bill, much less cuts that exceed those that they said didn’t exist in the first place. This could could portend dark days for Bartiromo. Perhaps even a seat on the Deportation Express to El Salvador.

Furthermore, this could not have come at a worse time for the Trump regime. The latest polls show that the “Big Beautiful Bullsh*t” is broadly opposed by the vast majority of the American people. As CNN reports, polls by the Kaiser Family foundation and Quinnipiac University reveal that the bill is underwater by 29 and 26 points respectively…

“The amount of disapproval for this bill — holy cow, my goodness gracious! We’re talking about 29 points underwater on the net favorable rating…We’re talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents in the center of the electorate. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular as this.”

Can Trump and the GOP still call this the "Big Beautiful Bill" when the vast majority of the American people hate it? They know that it hurts them, helps only the wealthy, and adds trillions more debt.And this is after weeks of the Trump regime spewing propaganda to prop it up.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-17T16:53:58.651Z

The Senate is still putting together their version of the bill. It is already set to make significant changes from the House version. Which means that if something passes in the Senate, which remains in doubt, it will still have to be passed again in the House, where it only squeaked through the first time.

Given that this bill is now better known, and more disliked, by a broader cross-section of the population, it’s passage may an uphill climb for Republicans. Particularly after Trump’s humiliating birthday parade which will only sink his already abysmal approval ratings even farther down the rabid hole.

TACO Trump Chickens Out on His Mass Deportation Plans When it Affects Him and His Wealthy Pals

Posted by on June 12, 2025 at 3:26 pm. 1 Comments :

The unconstitutional, anti-American, and profoundly cruel immigration policies of Donald Trump and his fascist regime have proven to be a complete catastrophe. They do not further any goal of advancing the law, the safety, or the economic welfare of the nation or its residents.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

The only things that Trump’s totalitarian tactics accomplish are destabilizing communities, frightening families, bankrupting businesses, instilling distrust in authorities, and causing irreparable harm to individuals who don’t warrant such harsh, inhumane treatment. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom detailed some of this in a speech earlier this week.

SEE THIS: California Gov. Gavin Newsom Spells Out the Imminent Threat that Trump Represents, and the Solution

Many politicians, economists, labor experts, and diplomats, have alerted Trump and his cronies to the obvious damage that his villainous impropriety causes. But typical of Trump, he doesn’t care until there is some impact on him or someone whose interests he is serving. Which is apparently what triggered Trump’s comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, on Thursday morning. He wrote that…

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

There’s a lot of steaming bullpucky in that paragraph. For instance, it contains the first ever acknowledgement by Trump that some of the undocumented migrants in this country are “very good workers” who would be “impossible to replace” However, the only reason that Trump expresses any interest in them is because his wealthy pals in agribusiness have been whining about the adverse economic effects of his repugnant mass deportation schemes. And he adds “the Hotel and Leisure business,” because that’s Trump’s business.

So suddenly something has to be done about it to keep Trump and his friends from suffering financially. It’s emblematic of the TACO label that has recently been attached to him: “Trump Always Chickens Out!” In this case he folded at the behest of his billionaire buddies. Trump doesn’t explain why the same thing isn’t true for workers in restaurants, or factories, or construction, or healthcare, or landscaping, or even to students.

Trump went on to say that if farm workers are deported they will be replaced by criminals. He has absolutely zero evidence of that happening anywhere, but pathological liars don’t need evidence. And it seems unlikely that criminals have aspirations to move to rural areas where they can do hard labor in the fields. This is just further proof that Trump’s brain is severely dysfunctional. And he confirmed that diagnosis in an exchange with Fox News correspondent, Peter Doocy, later the same day…

Doocy: What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?
Trump: Well, we’re not targeting. In fact, if you look today I put out a statement about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt badly by – you know they have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for twenty years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that. We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have.

Q: “What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?”Trump: “Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers…They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-06-12T18:11:56.443Z

Notice that Trump misunderstood the question, failing to grasp that Doocy was asking about the change in targeting. But he also failed to answer the question which inquired as to why he changed his mind. Does he even know that he did change his mind?

What’s more, while Trump conceded that there is a problem, he neglected to suggest anything that resembled a solution. But in his defense, that’s only because he’s too cognitively deficient to have solutions to any problem. All he has is hostility and vengeance and greed and an aberrant lust for power.

UPDATE: On Thursday evening Trump posted a new comment to follow up his Thursday morning comment above. This one said that…

“The Biden Administration and Governor Newscum flooded America with 21 Million Illegal Aliens, destroying Schools, Hospitals and Communities, and consuming untold Billions of Dollars in Free Welfare. All of them have to go home.”

Is this what he meant by “Changes are coming”? So Trump has returned to his original stance where all migrants must be expelled. Is this what he meant by “Changes are coming”? And is he abandoning his concern for the farmers and hoteliers who just yesterday he was worried would be adversely impacted? Or is his hate and bigotry stronger than his servility to the rich and his greed?
