Joe Biden

‘What About Trump?’ CNN Finally Asks About Trump’s Mental Acuity. Meanwhile, on Fox News…

Posted by on June 3, 2025 at 2:28 pm. NO Comments :

The subject of President Biden’s mental health has been filling the airtime on many of the mainstream news networks since the publication of “Original sin,” the book co-authored by CNN host Jake Tapper last month. Never mind that Biden has been out of office for five months and there is no evidence of any failures on his part before his term ended. To the contrary, when measured by his legislative and economic results, he presided over one of the most successful administrations in modern times.

Donald Trump, CNN

It isn’t particularly surprising that today’s tabloid media is so obsessed with reality TV style scandals and melodrama. It’s their response to the changing media marketplace and their desperation for eyeballs that generate ad revenue. What is surprising is that they are so dismissive of the cognitive discombobulation of the current president, Donald Trump, whose undeniable derangement puts the nation and the world at risk.

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

After several weeks of shameless plugging of Tapper’s book by his own network, CNN host Abby Phillip has finally decided to test the waters of actual journalism in an exchange with veteran conservative pundit, Bill Kristol. The segment began with a brief discussion about the psychological status of Biden, then broadened to included Trump.

Phillip: For two months, all the attention’s been on the mental acuity of the previous president. And while the scrutiny is justified, what about the current president? After all, he’s pushing a batshit conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with a clone robot. Bill is back with us at the table. I cannot believe I just read those words. replaced with a robot.
Kristol: Trump doesn’t believe it. He’s cynical. He has a lot of people who love conspiracy theories in his among his supporters. He pays no price for the supporters who don’t believe any of that nonsense by tweeting it. And some people get revved up and decide, Trump’s our guy. So he does it to provoke obviously us and all that. But Trump. does not believe it. However, I will say Trump is a cynical con man who knows how to speak to a lot of people. But the conspiracists are a part of the Trump administration.
Phillip: Well, he is a conspiracist. I mean, he has a long history going all the way back to the birther conspiracy.

What about the current president, indeed! Phillip was right to bring up the bizarre post that Trump made to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he asserted that Biden had been executed in 2020, and replaced by clones and/or robots. And she was right to describe Trump’s raving as “a batshit conspiracy theory.” But she was wrong to have ignored the mystery of Trump’s missing or malfunctioning marbles for so long.

For his part, Kristol sought to give Trump the benefit of a doubt by suggesting that Trump didn’t actually believe his own BS. But would that make it any better if Trump was just lying and considered his staff and followers to be so stupid that they would buy it anyway?

Kristol did end up agreeing with Phillip’s conclusion that Trump is a conspiracist due to his promotion of the birther conspiracy that President Obama was Muslim born in Kenya. She could have also mentioned Trump’s acceptance of the claim that immigrants were eating dogs and cats, or that the federal government was financing research into transgender mice, or that windmills cause cancer, or that Ted Cruz’s father killed JFK, or that tariffs are paid by foreign governments.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – was fulfilling their mission to glorify Trump in all things as the divine cult leader that they believe him to be. The “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends devoted much of their program to defending Trump from the rapidly spreading meme that “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO). it’s a reference to his repeated caving in on the tariffs that he has threatened over the past couple of months. Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy (wife of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy) actually said that Trump “is the bravest man in the world.”

Really? The whole world? And this is the same Trump who is a five-time draft dodger, who whines non-stop about any mild criticism, and has sued CBS because their interview of Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes made him suffer “mental anguish”? Such bravery this world hasn’t seen since the last messiah walked upon it.

TACO Trump Tries to Blame Biden for the Boulder Terrorist Attack that Happened on His Watch

Posted by on June 2, 2025 at 12:37 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend there was another act of domestic terrorism in America – this time in Boulder, Colorado – committed by an anti-Semitic extremist purporting to be a supporter of Palestinians. Although, nothing could be more destructive of Palestinian interests than a terrorist who seems to support the hostage taking by Hamas that the victims in Boulder were protesting.

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

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Many concerned Americans from across the political spectrum condemned the attack in its immediate aftermath. But Donald Trump, too chicken to address the matter, said nothing about it until the next day. Presumably he was too busy to even express any sympathy for the victims because that would have have interrupted the golf game he was engaged in at the time. Not to mention his other pressing duties as president…

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday, when Trump finally had time to make a statement about the crime, he unleashed a typically Trumpian load of bile. And naturally, he sought to cast blame on his political foes for a tragic event that occurred on his watch. He posted a comment exhibiting his callous self-interest to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy.”

Most notable in Trump’s response is his desperate effort to cast blame on former President Joe Biden. He resorts to that defamation even before showing any concern for the plight of those who were hurt. And true to form, Trump flagrantly lied about the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Trump implies that he was an illegal immigrant by asserting that he entered the U.S. through “Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy” an asinine phrase that Trump only uses with regard to illegal immigration. But Soliman is an Egyptian who entered the U.S. legally. And when his visa expired he applied for and received a valid work permit.

However, none of that matters to Trump, whose only interest is maligning his perceived enemies and absolving himself of any responsibility. The untouchable Mr. Trump always insists that he knows nothing about anything in order to distance himself from whatever horrendous affair he’s hoping to avoid an association with, or is too cowardly or ignorant to face. The problem for Trump is that his own team of White House liars sometimes inadvertently contradict him. For instance…

Trump’s own official Rapid Response team posted a timeline for Soliman’s immigration status that shows that he was a legal immigrant with a valid work permit during the Biden administration. It wasn’t until March of 2025, during Trump’s term, that the permit expired. So it was Trump who allowed him to stay in the U.S. to commit an act of terrorism.

Trump has repeatedly said that he would focus his ethnic cleansing …er… mass deportation efforts on the most dangerous criminals in the U.S. illegally. Apparently that means Harvard students who write op-eds for their college newspaper, law abiding fathers with steady jobs and American wives, makeup artists with Latino names, and four year old cancer patients. But he let Soliman stay. And somehow it was Biden’s fault?

And that’s not all, Trump’s senior White House advisor, Stephen Miller, likewise blamed Biden in a tweet about Soliman’s illegal status, even though that was not the case until Trump was in office. And a similar tweet was posted by the official Trump War Room account on Twitter.

Clearly Trump’s interest in this matter is not related to the fate of the victims, the administration of justice, or the welfare of the American people. His highest priorities in responding to this tragedy are to whitewash his own reputation and to slander his adversaries. Which is a pretty good summation of the malignant narcissism that governs Trump’s priorities when responding to anything.

WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

Posted by on June 1, 2025 at 12:12 pm. NO Comments :

Last month a book was published that purported to reveal an alleged mental incapacity of President Joe Biden. The authors of “Original Sin,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, asserted that Biden’s condition was covered up by his staff and family, but they never actually provided any evidence of any act or behavior that impacted his ability to govern efficiently and successfully. Which may account for the book’s poor reception and the ratings decline of Tappers CNN program.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Nevertheless, the failure of the book to document the core premise of its authors didn’t stop them, or much of the mainstream media, from engaging in obsessive coverage of the book to the exclusion of many other far more newsworthy issues. Particularly the state of Trump’s own mental health considering that, by his own admission, he is perilous ignorant of a wide range of subjects that the president ought to know…

SEE THIS: What Trump Admits He Doesn’t Know: 13 Examples of His Failing Mental Acuity – or Blatant Lying

While the Washington press has been fixated on dubious accusations aimed at Biden, Trump has been busy providing real proof of severe cognitive decline. And it’s much worse with Trump if only because he is not a former president in retirement on a Delaware beach, but is the current occupant of the White House whose deficiencies could result in catastrophes. For instance, just within the past few days…

CLONES? Trump promoted an insane post on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, asserting that Biden was executed in 2020, and replaced by clones, or soulless, mindless robots, or WTF, you figure it out…

Trump posted this insanity on Truth Social about President Biden having been executed and replaced by clones…“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference.”

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-01T10:31:38.814Z

MICE? Trump repeated the already debunked nonsense that “They spent $8 million on making mice transgender…I could sit here all day and read things just like that.” The research that he’s referring to was on “transgenic” mice, which is completely different.

WOW! Trump's dishonesty and stupidity is totally OFF THE CHARTS!He has already been told that it is not "transgender" mice. It's "transgenic." Which has nothing to do with sexuality. It is gene therapy research to help save human lives.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-05-30T19:15:34.960Z

AUTOPENS? Trump fantasizes – without evidence – about Biden using on autopen to sign nearly everything during his term in office saying that, “I think the autopen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time…Who signed these orders and proclamations and all these other things that he signed?”

Trump: "I think the autopen is gonna become one of the great scandals of all time."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-05-30T18:18:17.181Z

ANGUISH? Trump whines that he has suffered “mental anguish” as a result of how CBS’ 60 Minutes edited an interview of Kamala Harris six months ago. So he’s suing them for $20 billion dollars. Poor baby.

MEANWHILE, on Fox News, they were devoting much of their airtime to Biden and their manufactured musings about his mental acuity. The Fox and Friends “Curvy Couch” potatoes, Will Cain and Rachel Campos-Duffy, played a clip of Biden responding humorously to a question about it…

Biden (video clip): You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, and I can’t walk. And I can beat the hell out of both of them [Tapper and Thompson].
Reporter: Do you want to reply to any of those reports and also the fact that are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first place.
Biden: Why didn’t they run against me then. Because I would have beaten them.
Cain (in studio): If any viewers know what he’s saying, please email us.
Campos-Duffy: There’s so much to unpack there. I have no idea what he said. None of the words made sense together.

Apparently Biden’s entirely comprehensible and light-hearted, snarky response was over the heads of the Fox News hosts. Hopefully they will get someone to explain it them later.

However, that won’t resolve the problem with their flagrantly biased coverage of Biden, or their avoidance of covering Trump’s more obvious and dangerous mental maladies. What follows are a few more examples of Trump’s deteriorating mental state. It is not a comprehensive list. But it would be helpful if the media would do its job and report on these and other episodes of Trump’s inability to comprehend reality…

Trump Celebrates Peace Officers Memorial Day, Doesn’t Mention Pardoning January 6th Cop Killers

Posted by on May 13, 2025 at 1:00 pm. NO Comments :

Donald Trump is taking the first foreign junket of his second occupation of the White House this week. His first stop is Saudi Arabia, where is is shamelessly sucking up to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man who murdered Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, and gave Trump’s daughter (Ivanka) and son-in-law (Jared Kushner) two billion dollars.

Donald Trump, Police

Trump’s pilgrimage to the Persian Gulf states will also include visits to the United Arab Emirates, where he’s building a new golf resort, and Qatar, who just offered him a gift of a $400 million “flying palace” to replace Air Force One. He didn’t bother to speak of either of those glaring conflicts of interest in his initial public statements. Not that he would have anything relevant to say, even if he were asked.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Trump did, however, make time to recognize that May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day. He posted a message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, commemorating the day that honors America’s law enforcement officers and their families. He, or the AI bot/intern that he designated, wrote that…

“On Peace Officers Memorial Day and during Police Week, we honor our brave officers who serve on the front lines to protect our families, safeguard our communities, and shoulder a burden of responsibility that most Americans cannot fathom. This week and always, we honor the courageous men and women serving in law enforcement and memorialize those who sacrificed their lives defending the thin blue line.”

It’s always a nausea-inducing affair when Trump pretends to care about law enforcement. After all, he is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who viciously disparages the police, prosecutors, and judges when they do their duty to enforce the laws that he has broken. Even worse, he granted pardons to the 1,500 January 6th insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capital on his behalf, resulting in more than 140 officers being hospitalized and five of them dying. More recently he proposed to pay his violent thugs reparations.

MORE HERE: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

Trump, of course, didn’t mention any of that in his perfunctory statement that only served to cover his asinine imitation of support for the police. The only support he has for police is when he can employ them to advance his fascist police state aspirations. However, in his extended proclamation, he did mention some other points that were equally as absurd and out of touch with reality. For instance…

“A nation in chaos ceases to be a citadel of liberty.”
And who is more responsible for deliberate and destructive chaos than Trump?

“Tragically, the previous administration allowed lawlessness to permeate our country.”
As usual, Trump used this event to malign his predecessor, President Biden, who actually did respect law enforcement and presided over a historic decline in crime. This was verified by PolitiFact.

“I am fulfilling my promise to make America safe again by reclaiming sovereignty on the border and restoring the rule of law in communities nationwide.”
What Trump means by “restoring the rule of law” is to apprehend suspected migrants and ship them off to foreign gulags without due process. Also, he seeks weaponize the Justice Department so that he can persecute his political foes. Also, he advocates for immunizing bad cops to use brutality without consequences.

“The oath to serve and protect comes with extraordinary risk and sacrifice.”
Is this like the oath that Trump took to uphold the Constitution that he has already forgotten about and is violating?

“I have asked the Congress to codify my Executive Order mandating the death penalty for the murder of a police officer.”
That’s nice. Except that murdering a police officer is already a capital offense and has been for thirty years, since the passage of the Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994.

Like everything else that Trump does, this is purely an exercise in whatever benefits him. It is a PR stunt whose value is completely undone by his prior words and misdeeds. He simply has zero moral authority to pretend to honor the heroes who he has so frequently insulted and worked against.

What Trump Admits He Doesn’t Know: 13 Examples of His Failing Mental Acuity – or Blatant Lying

Posted by on May 11, 2025 at 1:18 pm. 2 Comments :

Donald Trump often brags about his allegedly incomparable intellect. He has claimed that he knows more about medicine than doctors; more about the military than generals; more about economics than economists. The list of subjects that he says he knows more about than anyone else is almost as long as the list of his documented lies.

Donald Trump WTF

What’s more, Trump uses his gasbag boasts to favorably compare himself to President Biden, who he has relentlessly demeaned as incompetent and even unaware of what he’s doing or where he is. Meanwhile, Trump celebrates the results of simple cognitive exams as evidence that he’s a “stable genius.” And he is oblivious to the contempt in which he is held by most Americans.

SEE THIS: Fox News is Already Downplaying Trump’s Unreleased Health Report Because Trump…Looks Great?

So while Trump frequently insists that he is the answer to all of mankind’s woes, and that only he can fix their problems, the Washington Post has compiled some examples of Trump exhibiting his ineptitude and desperation to evade responsibility for anything. The article began by noting that…

“One of the major themes of President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was the idea that Joe Biden had no idea what was happening around him. […] But less than four months after taking over from Biden, it’s Trump who, in his own telling, is often unaware of major events surrounding him and directly involving his administration.”

What follows is a summary of the Post’s research of recent Trump attempts to separate himself from his multitude of failures.

  • On nominating Casey Means, a conspiracy crackpot with no medical license, as Surgeon General: “I don’t know her, I listened to the recommendation of Bobby [Kennedy Jr].”
  • On GOP Sen. Thom Tillis coming out against Ed Martin, the now discarded Trump nominee for U.S. attorney for D.C.: “I didn’t know that.”
  • On firing staffers of a program that provides health care for 9/11 first responders and survivors: “I’m not aware of anything that may have been brought up recently.”
  • On whether he had been briefed about four U.S. soldiers who died in a training exercise in Lithuania: “No, I haven’t.”
  • On the SignalGate scandal involving his top national security officials revealing sensitive data on a commercial chat app: “I don’t know anything about it.”
  • On his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, ordering a halt to military aid shipments to Ukraine: “Trump was not aware of Hegseth’s order.”
  • On reported plans to deport migrants to Libya: “I don’t know; you’ll have to ask Homeland Security.”
  • On the arrest and detention of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk: “I’m not aware of the particular event.”
  • On whether he could get Kilmar Abrego García back from El Salvador: “I’m not the one making this decision. We have lawyers that don’t want to do this.”
  • On whether he signed the order to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act without due process: “I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it. Other people handled it.” (He did sign it)
  • On decisions about deportations following a judicial ruling halting them: “I’d have the Secretary of State handle it, because I’m not really involved in that.”
  • — And a few that the Post left out… —
  • On his 145% tariffs on China: “80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.” [Scott Bessant, Treasury Secretary].”
  • On whether he agrees if citizens and non-citizens are covered by due process: “I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.”
  • On whether he is required to uphold the Constitution: “I don’t know.”

So there you have it. Trump in his own words. He repeatedly admits that he has had little to do with any of these critical events that all occurred in the first three months of his reoccupation of the White House. This is the same guy who has criticized Biden, falsely, for using an autopen to sign everything. And this is the same guy who clearly has no idea what he himself is signing in his ludicrous executive order ceremonies that are obviously staged in the reality TV style that he is so comfortable with.

Trump is an utterly oblivious puppet president. They just put an executive order down in front of him and he signs it.He doesn't know what it does beyond the brief summary they give him. It could be an order to require all Americans to be vaccinated against the woke virus.

SRSLY? WH Propaganda Secretary: It’s ‘Ridiculous’ to Say Trump Does Anything For His Own Benefit

Posted by on May 10, 2025 at 12:47 pm. 1 Comments :

The prolific outpouring of preposterous pronouncements that emanate from Donald Trump’s White House create a daily flash flood of foolishness and farce. His Press/Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has effortlessly surpassed the record breaking threshold of lies achieved by her Republican predecessors.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

In addition to disseminating the daily dishonesty decreed by the Trump regime, Leavitt has purposefully turned the White House Press Room into an assembly of Trump-fluffing fringe figures from the InterTubes, who view their role as one of MAGA advocacy, as opposed to anything resembling journalism.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares Himself King of the White House Press Corps, Will Now Decide Who Can Question Him

On Friday Leavitt unleashed what may be the the most laughably fantastical comment of her brief tenure as Trump’s Politburo Chief. She was asked about Trump’s upcoming junket to the Middle East, and whether he would meet with anyone connected to his business interests there (video below). It was an appropriate question considering that his sons just announced a new luxury hotel project in Dubai. In response, an obviously annoyed Leavitt complained that…

“I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service. Not just once, but twice. And the American public reelected him back to this White House because they believe he acts in the best interest of our country and putting the American public first.”

First of all, what Trump left may have been a luxurious lifestyle, but it was also a struggling real estate enterprise that was so over-leveraged that he had to work as TV game show host to stay afloat financially. What’s more, he didn’t leave for public service. He left to further enrich himself, to satiate his massive ego by reigning over America as a dictator, and to avoid going to prison for the multitude of felonies he was convicted of, with many more on the docket.

What is “ridiculous” is the notion that anyone would buy into Trump’s facade of selflessness and sacrifice. Contrary to Leavitt’s warbling, everything Trump does is “for his own benefit.” If he was the least bit concerned about “the best interest of our country,” he wouldn’t have imposed his inflationary and recessionary Trump Taxes (aka tariffs) on America’s international trading partners; he wouldn’t be dismantling critical government agencies and cutting services such as Medicare and Medicaid; he wouldn’t be aligning himself with authoritarian tyrants and alienating American allies. But Leavitt wasn’t finished. She continued…

“This is the president that has actually lost money for being president of the United States. I don’t remember these same types of question being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of his office. That is not what president Trump does. And this White House holds ourselves to the highest ethical standards.”

Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-05-09T17:30:17.497Z

There is a kernel of truth in what Leavitt says here. Trump’s real estate ventures have suffered because people have been so repulsed by him that they have chosen to avoid patronizing his businesses. However, the larger truth is that Trump has exploited his presidency to earn billions of dollars in blatantly corrupt scams, such as his meme coin that is nothing more than a drop box for foreign nations and criminals to deposit what amounts to bribes and/or extortion.

While untold thousands of Trump cult disciples have lost fortunes, Trump and his cronies have raked in multimillions in untraceable contributions to his personal charity. That applies also to his Media venture that includes his Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. A recent story about which reveals that “Large institutional investors have massively increased their holdings of Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) in recent months [raising] further questions about big business’s desire to curry favor with Donald Trump.”

MORE HERE: Grifter Trump is Hawking His Stock and Crypto that Have Lost Gullible Rubes Billions of Dollars

As for Leavitt’s faulty memory, President Biden and his press team were relentlessly battered with inquiries about his finances, and particularly those of his family. Although, nothing ever came of it because, unlike Trump, there was never any shred of evidence of wrongdoing.

The consistently dishonest utterings of Leavitt reflect the mandate that she has been given by her notoriously dishonest, pathological lying boss. And that propensity for prevarication is woven throughout the Trump administration. When Leavitt speaks of holding to “the highest ethical standards,” she is looking at it from the depths of a trench of deceitfulness where no sunlight can reach. After all, she began her job as Trump’s mouthpiece by lying that “I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day.”

PROCLAMATION: Trump’s Pardons Are Hereby Declared Void, Vacant, and of No Future Force or Effect

Posted by on March 17, 2025 at 2:33 pm. 1 Comments :

When Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020, he not only ushered in a new term of rational, thoughtful, progressive, policies, he also provided a respite from the daily insanity that Trump imposed on the nation. Trump’s first term was a non-stop barrage of ignorance, insults, lies, and shameless self-glorification.

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

Donald Trump

Now as Trump embarks on his second occupation of the White House, he is returning to the practice of battering the nation with his infantile outbursts and petulant whining. And while it often doesn’t seem possible, each day’s deluge of dumfuckery is worse than the day before.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

On Monday morning Trump once again outdid himself in his quest for quackery. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that purported to revoke the pardons issued by President Biden. Never mind that there is nothing in the Constitution that permits him to do that. Trump long ago abandoned any fealty to the law or America’s founding principles. He raged that…

“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!” […]

“Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.”

There is an abundance of derp in that dopey discharge. Let’s dig a little deeper, shall we? To begin with, Trump’s justification for his preposterous position is his assertion that Biden signed his pardons with an autopen. So what? Many other presidents, including Trump, have used the autopen to sign official documents. Trump, however, has no evidence whatsoever for his claim that Biden used it for the pardons.

Furthermore, Trump charged that Biden was cognitively incapable of issuing the pardons and “did not know anything about them.” That’s another unsupported allegation by Trump. In fact, Biden spoke about the pardons publicly and provided a detailed explanation of why they were warranted, saying in part that “Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.” Even Trump’s anti-Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, conceded that she couldn’t back up Trump’s claims about Biden’s mental acuity when asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins…

WOW! Trump's anti-press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, tells CNN's Kaitlan Collins that she "should find out" if there is any evidence of the blatant lie that Trump told about President Biden.Leavitt doesn't bother to verify any of her Boss's lies.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-17T19:05:28.853Z

That said, if any presidential pardons were subject to revocation, it’s Trump’s. The proclamation he issued at the time said that…

“Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I do hereby: … (b) grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;

“The Attorney General shall administer and effectuate the immediate issuance of certificates of pardon to all individuals described in section (b) above.”

Note the vague references to who he was pardoning. He doesn’t mention them by name. Which would be difficult because there were more than 1,500 of them. And his specification of “individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,” could mean anybody. He doesn’t say. He doesn’t even define the “event that occurred” to which his pardons apply. It could mean a bank robbery that was “at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” Does the bank robber, and everyone who committed any crime at or near the Capitol that day, get a pardon?

Trump went on to threaten the members of the Select Committee on the Investigation of January 6th (Liz Cheney, Bennie Thompson, Adam Kinzinger, etc.) with investigations, despite their having been properly pardoned by Biden. He also accused them, falsely, of having “destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained.” That’s a lie that was debunked long ago.

Trump’s belief that he can revoke Biden’s pardons is just more proof of his ignorance of, and disrespect for, the Constitution and the law. It affirms his utter unfitness to serve. And if anyone’s pardons are improper and revocable, it’s Trump’s. So I am hereby declaring them “Void, Vacant, and of No Future Force or Effect.” You’re welcome!

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

Posted by on January 22, 2025 at 12:24 pm. NO Comments :

Ever since the election last November, Donald Trump has been exaggerating – aka lying – about the scope of his victory. He repeatedly refers to it as a “landslide,” despite the fact that his margin of victory over Vice President Kamala Harris was a mere 1.5%, one of the narrowest wins in modern times.

Donald Trump

This is typical of Trump’s acutely narcissistic psychosis that causes him to obsess over measurements of the size of everything from vote results, to rally attendance, and even to his manhood. His compulsion to overstate reality is something that he has bragged about, calling it “truthful hyperbole,” or in plain English, lying!

SEE THIS: OMG! Pathological Liar Trump Says He is ‘the Most Honest Human Being God Ever Created’

Another metric that Trump clings to for emotional support is television ratings. His long occupation as a reality TV game show host has fused his fetish for Nielsen numbers into his corroding cranial cavity. But his dependence on audience affirmation may deal him a severe blow now that the ratings for his inauguration have been released…

“Trump’s second swearing-in brought in an average total viewership of 24.59 million viewers […] Viewership for the 2025 inauguration was down 27% from Biden’s 2021 inauguration, which scored an audience of 33.76 million viewers.[…] The 2025 inauguration also saw a 19.75% viewership downtick from Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, which scored 30.64 million viewers.”

UH-OH. Trump is gonna have an aneurism when he gets wind of this. Dropping below his prior inauguration would be bad enough. But getting swamped by President Biden may be too much for him to bear. Perhaps even worse for Trump, he also didn’t come close to President Obama’s audience of 37.8 million viewers in January of 2009.

If anything, Trump’s numbers should have been higher due to the freezing weather that forced his event inside the Capitol Rotunda, as well as forcing people to stay home and watch the lie-riddled affair on TV. Plus, he has the advantage of a dedicated Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – to blast his orange puss to an adoring cult following that is permanently plastered to the channel. With regard to that, Fox did its part by delivering nearly half of the total TV audience (10.3 million viewers) for the inauguration day festivities. The rest of the TV audience clearly had better things to do.

This is further evidence that Trump’s reoccupation of the White House is not the popular ratification of his return that he pretends that it is. And he cannot make a rational argument that he has anything resembling a mandate to implement his extremist, authoritarian agenda. Unfortunately, that won’t stop him from trying. And it is up to the people to spread the truth, and to make sure that the cowardly, complicit, legacy media reports it.

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

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

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

Fox News Sad

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE DAILY SHOW: Trump Gives Us a Reminder of What His Leadership Looks Like in Times of Crisis

Posted by on January 9, 2025 at 2:19 pm. 2 Comments :

During the first occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, he proved that he was utterly inept and incapable of governing in a mature, responsible manner that would benefit the nation and respect the Constitution. He left office by staging a violent coup and stealing hundreds of classified documents.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

From Trump’s deadly mismanagement of the COVID pandemic, to his disastrous failures with the economy and jobs, Trump performed with the same neglect, incompetence, and deliberate malfeasance that marked his business bankruptcies and personal debacles. And now he is gleefully preparing to exceed his own record of ruin.

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

The horrific fire storm in Los Angeles has driven thousands of people from their homes and put families and businesses at risk. Yet despite the turmoil and fear, everyone in the impacted communities, and their representatives in state and federal government, have united to combat the threat, restore order, and prepare to recover.

Well, almost everyone. True to form, Trump and his heartless MAGA minions have endeavored to wring every ounce of political animus out of the tragedy. Desi Lydic of the Daily Show noticed and led Wednesday night’s program with an apt description of Trump’s response.

“While everyone else is deeply concerned about what is going on in Los Angeles right now, Trump is handling the tragedy like the statesman that he is.”

Whereupon Lydic played a CNN clip noting that Trump is blaming California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the fires. And in addition to his lying flagrantly, he deploys his infamously infantile nicknaming by calling the Governor “Newscum.”

Trump's response to the LA wildfires is a perfect reminder of what his leadership looks like during a crisis

However, Lydic only scratched the surface of Trump’s malicious immaturity and callous insensitivity to the real suffering that people are undergoing. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted six separate, certifiably insane comments attacking Gov. Newsom, President Biden, and other Democrats as somehow being responsible for the fires. Needless to say, virtually all of Trump’s rants were flat-out lies, including that…

ONE: “Fire is spreading rapidly for 3 days — ZERO CONTAINMENT. Nobody has ever seen such failed numbers before! Gross incompetence by Gavin Newscum and Karen Bass….And Biden’s FEMA has no money — all wasted on the Green New Scam! L.A. is a total wipeout!!!”

TWO: “One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!”

THREE: Let this serve, and be emblematic, of the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden/Newscum Duo.

FOUR: “NO WATER IN THE FIRE HYDRANTS, NO MONEY IN FEMA. THIS IS WHAT JOE BIDEN IS LEAVING ME. THANKS JOE!”

FIVE: “As of this moment, Gavin Newscum and his Los Angeles crew have contained exactly ZERO percent of the fire. It is burning at levels that even surpass last night. This is not Government. I can’t wait till January 20th!”

SIX: “Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North…He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt…He is the blame for this.”

LATE ADDITION: [Because Trump thinks there’s a big faucet in Northern California] “Governor Gavin Newscum should immediately go to Northern California and open up the water main, and let the water flow.”

Note that, in addition to Trump’s utterly dishonest caterwauling, he doesn’t offer a single word of condolence or concern for the people affected. He is wholly consumed by his political hostilities and his shamelessly childish nicknames and insults. He couldn’t care less about the victims. Trump added to his online harangue in an impromptu press avail…

TRUMP: The biggest homes, some of the most valuable homes are just destroyed.First: There are no fires in Beverly Hills.Second: Trump is only interested the biggest, most valuable homes. He doesn't bother to mention the thousands of working class people who have been hurt.

And finally, this seems like a good time to recall this throwback from a few months ago…
