Trump Insults Rep. Jasmine Crockett as ‘Low IQ’ in Yet Another Racist Attack on Black Women

Posted by on May 5, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The flamingly racist rhetoric that Donald Trump uses on a regular basis ought to have resulted in his banishment from civil society decades ago. But there seems to be no end to his capacity for hatred, nor for his cult followers capacity to accept it.

Donald Trump, MAGA

One of the most frequent expressions of Trump’s bigotry is his attack on the intelligence of his political foes, particularly if they are Black, and even more particularly if they are women. Although, Trump has plenty of support for his hate speech considering that during his first term his polling among republicans actually improved when he engaged in it.

Some things never change. And that’s certainly true with regard to doddering old hate mongers like Trump. On this weekend’s episode of Meet the Press with Kristen Welker of NBC News, Trump affirmed his place in the hearts of Klan members everywhere. In a response to a question about who he thought would be his successor, he began by saying that “It’s far too early to say that.” But unable to hold back his prejudice, he continued…

“You look at Marco. You look at JD Vance, who’s fantastic. You look at — I could name 10, 15, 20 people right now just sitting here. No, I think we have a tremendous party. And you know what I can’t name? I can’t name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats, they have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day and she’s definitely a low IQ Person. And they said she’s the future of the party. I said you have to be kidding. I don’t know what they’re gonna do.”

So the only Democrat that Trump could think of that might run for president in 2028 was Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas. Apparently he has never heard of JB Pritzker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, Wes Moore, Andy Beshear, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, Pete Buttigieg, and of course, Kamala Harris. And that’s an abridged list.

However, in Trump’s mashed potatoes mind there is only Rep. Crockett, who he says “is definitely a low IQ Person.” Never mind that, in addition to being an elected member of Congress, she is a lawyer and a graduate of Rhodes College and the University of Houston Law School.

Trump’s insult was not based on any observation of Rep. Crockett’s intellect. It was just another example of how he denigrates Black women as stupid based purely on their race and gender. He has used the “low IQ” epithet many times before on other notable Black women, including Vice-President Kamala, Harris and Rep. Maxine Waters. Although to be fair, he has also used it on Black men (e.g. Don Lemon, LeBron James), and even white women (Mika Brzezinski).

Trump, of course, has never seen any documentation of the IQ of any of his insult targets. He is simply projecting his own mental deficiencies on his enemies. He is unarguably the dumbest occupant of the White House in American history. He’s the one who prescribed bleach injections to cure COVID. And renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Just this weekend he was asked about “due process” for immigrants, and his obligation as president to uphold the Constitution. To both questions he replied “I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.”

That’s an interesting response, because Rep. Crockett is, in fact, a lawyer. But you don’t need to be a lawyer to know that every president takes an oath to “defend the Constitution” when being inaugurated. Not that Trump cares about honoring oaths. Just ask Marla, Ivana, and Melania Trump.

MORE HERE: WTHF? When Asked ‘Don’t You Need to Uphold the Constitution,’ Trump Replies ‘I Don’t Know.’

Rep. Crockett had a reply of her own to Trump’s insult that brilliantly exposed Trump as being “terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth.”

Trump’s attack on Rep. Crockett is typical of Trump. He often denigrates the intelligence and/or honesty Black women in the media. Among those he has gone after in the past are April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor, and Abby Phillip. After taking a question from Phillip, Trump whined “What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions.” And of course, he was unable to provide an answer. Not even a stupid one.

Trump’s War on Democracy Backfires Badly as ActBlue Donations Soar After His Lie-Riddled Rant

Posted by on April 27, 2025 at 2:10 pm. 2 Comments :

It’s another day that ends in “Y” and, therefore, it’s another day wherein Donald Trump affirms his abhorrent anti-Americanism in the nastiness manner that he can muster. Trump apparently is not satisfied with his already repugnant record of trashing the nation’s constitutional principles. So he is once again escalating his malevolence to new lows.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Unsatisfied with stomping on the rights of migrants to due process, or the rights of universities to academic freedom, or the rights of lawyers to practice, or the rights of journalists to report the truth, Trump is now threatening his political opponents with harassment and persecution from his grossly corrupt Department of Justice. Is it just his latest attempt to declare himself America’s first president-for-life?

SEE THIS: Trump’s Anti-Press Secretary Won’t Deny His Intention to Seek an Unconstitutional Third Term

On Sunday morning Trump posted yet another unhinged screed on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. This time he intended to disparage the Democratic fundraising website, ActBlue, with wholly unfounded allegations of election finance fraud. However, as usual, his tantrum was fueled by ignorance and loaded with lies. He began by passively ordering his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Actblue…

“Hopefully ACTBLUE, the Democrats ILLEGAL SCAM used to raise money, including from not allowed ‘foreign contributions,’ is being looked at by authorities. The Dems only know how to win by CHEATING, something which they do better than any group or party in history.”

This is a thinly veiled instruction to Bondi to commence a meritless probe meant only to hobble the fundraising efforts of the Democratic Party. And it was jampacked with the familiar projection that Trump employs when he is trying to tarnish others with the sort of crimes that he engages in. He continued…

“But now, with their terrible policies and candidates, and with people like Crooked Adam Schiff, who demanded a full Pardon from Sleepy Joe, leading the way, it is almost impossible to reach their money goals. The USA is wise to these scoundrels and crooks.”

This is a bizarre Trumpian cocktail of wishful thinking and straight-up lies. Not only is ActBlue succeeding in its mission to help Democrats raise money, they are reaching new heights of success, partially thanks to Trump himself. As reported by The New Republic (TNR)…

“The Trump administration’s decision to target ActBlue has instead resulted in the left-leaning platform’s biggest fundraising day of the year.”

And as for Trump’s charge that ActBlue was taking in improper foreign donations, TNR reports that…

“Conservatives have repeatedly claimed that ActBlue was acting as a conduit for foreign contributions. In December, an analysis of the fundraising network’s records by Republican Representative Bryan Steil not only failed to advance the theory but instead found proof that the platform’s automated program to reject donations from foreign nationals was working effectively.”

Furthermore, Politico reported that…

“‘ActBlue raised $400 million in the first three months of 2025 alone, the biggest fundraising total in the first quarter of a non-presidential or midterm election year ever,’ the organization said.”

So thanks for the funding boost, Donnie. In closing, Trump took a wild swing at one of his favorite targets, Sen Adam Schiff…

“Also, why did the Auto Pen give Schiff a Pardon? Biden knew nothing about it. Who operated the Auto Pen? That is the biggest question being asked in D.C. They almost destroyed our Country. They should all be in jail!!!”

Setting aside Trump’s childish insults, Trump asks why Biden gave a Schiff a pardon. But he actually answers his own question when he adds emphatically, and without any evidence of wrongdoing, that “They should all be in jail!!!” Yeah, that’s exactly why Biden gave pardons to Schiff and the other members of the House Committee to Investigate the January 6th Insurrection. Because a rabidly vengeful Trump has been dead set on persecuting them and has even accused them of “treason.”

Trump’s attack on ActBlue is nothing less than an effort to rig the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. He would like to starve the Democratic Party of funds to mount a campaign. But his glassy-eyed rage is turning out to be working against him. The American people recognize the hideousness of Trump’s aspirations to autocracy, and they are not going to stand for it.

Trump’s Inauguration Day Rants Affirm that He is a Wannabe Dictator and a Pathological Liar

Posted by on January 20, 2025 at 2:48 pm. 5 Comments :

Just in case there is still any cognitively functioning person who hasn’t been convinced that convicted felon Donald Trump aspires to rule as an authoritarian tyrant, dedicated to manufacturing false narratives about himself, disparaging his opponents in the most infantile manner, and accumulating wealth via dishonest scams, someone has come forward to settle the debate once and for all.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

That someone just happens to be Donald Trump. In a not particularly uncommon development, Trump is confessing to his own most contemptible compulsions. And the confessions took place during his inauguration address that he delivered to his elitist benefactors in the Capitol Rotunda, and the subsequent speech he gave to the foot soldiers of his MAGA cult. This should come as no surprise, because almost every time Trump opens his mouth, he emits maliciousness and lies.

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

Trump’s inauguration redress was riddled with rancid rhetoric that diverted entirely from reality. For example, he babbled that…

“The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.”
The rebalancing will result in his vicious and violent weaponization of the Justice Department aimed at Democrats and reputable Republicans.

“My life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.”
Trump is exalting himself in messianic terms as god’s savior of one particular country that he favors for some reason.

“Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.”
While drug cartels are certainly bad, they are not terrorist organizations that, by definition, use violence to alter governments. Drug cartels are only interested in making money. Which is something that they have in common with Trump.

“Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service, to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury, coming from foreign sources.”
Tariffs are not paid by foreign countries. They are paid by domestic importers who pass the costs on as de facto taxes to American consumers.

“After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.”
Trump doesn’t provide any evidence of his claims of “restricted free speech” or “government censorship.” But he has threatened to revoke the licenses of all TV news networks.

There was plenty more where that came from, including Trump’s bizarre promise to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which he has no legal authority to do. And his threat to take back the Panama Canal from Panama, which would require a hostile military invasion of a friendly neighbor.

Trump moved on from that scene to the Capital One Arena, where his patient and obedient flock of MAGA disciples were waiting to hear from him after he canceled their tickets to the inaugural address, leaving them, literally, in the cold. His speech to this crowd was littered with a litany of lies especially crafted for these gullible rubes. CNN’s Daniel Dale recounted a few of them…

“In his unscripted speech, he returned to his lie-a-minute style. He said the 2020 election was ‘totally rigged.’ We know that’s a lie. He said his opponent tried to rig it this time. That’s more nonsense. He said that California Democrats tried to cheat and that he thinks he would have won the state this time if it were not rigged. Well, it was a free and fair election in that state as well. He lost by more than three million votes. […]

“On immigration he spoke of the jails of every country in the world being emptied into this country. He has never provided any evidence for his claims that foreign countries were deliberately emptying prisons to send people here as migrants. […]

“And then he turned to January 6th. He spoke at length about, he said the committee deleted all evidence, almost everything. It simply did not. That did not happen. […] And he repeated his claim that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had ‘admitted’ that she rejected a Trump offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6, 2021. First of all, there is no basis for the claim that Trump even made her such an offer. It wouldn’t even have made sense considering that he, the president. is the commander of the D.C. National Guard. The Speaker of the House has no authority to deploy them or thwart a deployment. And second of all, she never admitted that such an offer was made. She has steadfastly rejected that.”

This was a predictably inauspicious beginning for the Trump 2.0 occupation of the White House. And while his words were worrisome, to put it mildly, the actions to follow will be astronomically worse. That is, unless we stand up to him and resist his tyranny en masse. We cannot accept his plans to slash Social Security, sabotage healthcare, suppress civil and voting rights, make the U.S. an international pariah, and smooth the path for illegalities by his wealthy comrades and violent StormTrumpers.

It’s up to us to preserve democracy. Trump is not guaranteed four more years. Democrats could regain majorities in Congress in 2026. And by then, it’s pretty safe to assume that he will have done some more things that are impeachable.

WTF? Trump Marks January 6th Saying ‘Biden is Making the Transition as Difficult as Possible’

Posted by on January 6, 2025 at 12:38 pm. NO Comments :

Without a doubt, the darkest day in American history from a political perspective was January 6, 2021, when Donald Trump sent a violent mob of his motley cult followers to the Capitol to try to undermine democracy by force. The StormTrumpers assaulted police officers, caused millions of dollars of damage, and put Congressional members and their staffs in fear for their lives.

Click here to Tweet this article

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Perhaps the second darkest political day is January 6, 2025, when Trump is certified to embark upon his second occupation of the White House, despite his prior treasonous activities. In the interim he has also been convicted of 34 felonies and adjudicated a rapist. And he continues to brazenly distort history with his gaslit misrepresentations of the riots that he incited as peaceful and patriotic demonstrations.

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

On this somber anniversary of Trump’s un-American assault on democracy and the Constitution, Trump manages to crawl even farther out on the limb of lunacy with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a fit of psychotic detachment from reality he wrote (emphasis added) that…

“Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes. Fear not, these ‘Orders’ will all be terminated shortly, and we will become a Nation of Common Sense and Strength. MAGA!!!”

It takes an unimaginable heap of chutzpah for Trump to accuse President Biden of making a transition difficult after he literally provoked a riot in an effort to completely halt the last transition. Yet somehow Trump manages to accomplish that feat. He always seems to have the ability to sink lower than whatever lowly. dastardly deed he did before. But this is one for the record books.

And speaking of the record, Vice-President Kamala Harris showed how a decent, patriotic statesperson behaves during a presidential transition. Even while having to deal with the disappointment of having lost to a convicted felon, sexual abusing, pathological lying, wannabe dictator, Harris performed her constitutional duties with grace and dignity, noting in a video statement that…

“The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of American democracy. As much as any other principle, it is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny. Today at the United States Capitol, I will perform my constitutional duty as vice president of the United States to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation, one I will uphold, guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and my unwavering faith in the American people.

“As we have seen, our democracy can be fragile, and it is up to then each one of us to stand up for our most cherished principles, and to make sure, in America, our government always remains of the people, by the people and for the people.”

For his part, Biden commemorated January 6th in an op-ed in the Washington Post where he wrote that…

“An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day. To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand.

“This is not what happened. In time, there will be Americans who didn’t witness the January 6th riot firsthand but will learn about it from footage and testimony of that day, from what is written in history books and from the truth we pass on to our children. We cannot allow the truth to be lost.”

Meanwhile, Trump is whining about what a miserable victim he is, barking out orders to his MAGA minions in Congress, and promising to implement an agenda that emulates his authoritarian idols in Russia and China. And he is still promising to pardon the criminals who attacked the Capitol four years ago as a reward for their blind loyalty to Dear Leader. Which makes it all the more imperative for Democrats, and all other patriots, to stay strong and resist the Trump/MAGA cult, and to defend American principles and democracy.

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

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

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

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Insurrection

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Crybaby Trump Whines About Flags Being at Half Mast for Jimmy Carter During His Inauguration

Posted by on January 3, 2025 at 1:54 pm. 2 Comments :

As the new year begins, Donald Trump is demonstrating the character – or lack thereof – for which he is notorious. And nothing represents the Trump brand more than his incessant and petulant whining. It’s something that he is proud of, having bragged himself – on video – that he is “the most fabulous whiner.”

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

In addition to his prowess as a whiner, Trump is also proving his mettle as a pitifully sore winner. Despite having been reelected – albeit by a historically narrow margin – he can’t seem to stop complaining about how miserable he is and how put upon as a victim of his innumerable perceived enemies. Consequently, he resorts to venting his spleen by attacking the country he is pretending to serve.

SEE THIS: Trump Insults America and its Justice Institutions as ‘SCUM’ Just Weeks Before His Inauguration

On Friday morning, Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to let loose his wrath on what he seems to believe was a personal vendetta carried out by the late Pres. Jimmy Carter, as a conspiracy to die shortly before Trump’s inauguration. Trump raged that…

“The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration. They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves. Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years – It’s a total mess! In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Let’s begin to dissect this dim-bulb diatribe from the beginning. Trump’s assertion that “Democrats are giddy” has no basis in reality, and he doesn’t bother to cite any examples. The only message that Democrats have in lowering the flags to half mast is one of respect and tribute to an honorable former President.

It is Trump who is only thinking about himself, as usual. He can’t comprehend the notion of paying tribute to someone other than himself. And if anyone else should try to do so, he believes it is a deliberate affront to him. So he lashes out and disparages the whole country as being “a total mess.” All because he is butthurt by the prospect of his exaltation …er… inauguration being screwed up by the inconsideration of Carter choosing to die at a time that is so inconvenient to Trump.

A decent political leader would be proud to be inaugurated with flags at half mast in honor of an esteemed predecessor. They would find a way to pay a personal tribute in their inaugural address. But not Trump. He sees it as a stain on his day of glory that “no American can be happy about.” And he closes by making a veiled threat saying “Let’s see how it plays out.” Is Trump plotting to raise the flags, or otherwise disrupt Carter’s remembrance?

For good measure, that was not the only thing that Trump was whining about on Friday morning. He also complained about President Biden awarding Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson the Presidential Citizens Medal for their work co-chairing the January 6th Committee that investigated the insurrection that Trump incited. And Trump’s whimpering was predictably littered with flagrant lies. Here is what he wrote with annotated fact checks…

Trump: “Biden gave Liz Cheney a Medal yesterday, even though she has proven to be totally corrupt. She, ‘Bennie’ Thompson, and the rest of the Unselect Committee, destroyed and deleted all evidence from their crooked investigation of January 6th.”
Fact: No evidence was destroyed or deleted, and it is still available online.

Trump: “Liz Cheney, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, Bennie Thompson, and the rest of these dishonest Thugs have gotten away with horrible things under the pretense of January 6th. Nancy Pelosi refused to accept the help which was offered for security.”
Fact: Trump’s own national security staffers denied that any offer of help was made. What’s more, the security of the District of Columbia is the President’s responsibility, which was Trump at the time.

Trump: “They have destroyed the lives of many people, and are rewarded by getting Biden Fake Medals. This is not America.”
Fact: There is nothing fake about the medals. And the people whose lives Trump says were destroyed were the violent rioters who assaulted the Capitol, threatened the lives of Congress members and his own VP, and sent 140 police officers to the hospital. He is still insisting that “Everybody on that committee…should go to jail.” While he also promises to pardon his criminal StormTrumpers.

FOR THE RECORD: All of those charges were thoroughly and repeatedly debunked. See more here.

Trump’s belligerence is escalating as his reoccupation of the White House nears. And his MAGA/Project 2025 agenda is every bit as bad as feared. So can we finally put to rest the nonsense that Trump has – or can – mature and behave like a statesman, or even an adult? He is an imminent danger to democracy and is as anti-American as it gets. And the keyword for Democrats, and all patriots, for the next four years is RESIST!

Trump Spends New Year’s Eve Whining About Whether the Senate Will Confirm His Noxious Nominees

Posted by on December 31, 2024 at 2:03 pm. 3 Comments :

Another year is coming to a close and people all over the nation and the world are celebrating the promise of what a new year will bring for them, their families, and their country. It’s a time when everyone is filled with somber reflections on the past and uplifting hopes for the future.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump on New Year's Day

Well, almost everyone. True to form, Donald Trump is plagued by his persistent fits of distemper and hostility aimed at the armies of perceived enemies that he imagines are converging to destroy him. While others are preparing for parties and good times with loved ones, Trump generally celebrates holidays like these with infantile attacks on the conspirators plotting against him, such as his message last year…

“HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of the Radical Left Democrats, Marxist Lunatics, China loving Coco Chow and her Obedient Husband, Mitch, and Clueless RINOS, who are working so hard to DESTROY our once great Country.”

SEE TRUMP’S 2023 NEW YEAR: Trump Starts 2023 with a New Year’s Eve Press Conference at Mar-a-Lago but Nobody Came

Heartwarming, isn’t it? This year Trump continues to focus on the tribulations of his miserable existence. For someone who is always bragging about his wealth and success at everything he does, he sure seems to complain a lot. And on New Year’s Eve morning Trump was furious that the Senate, whose constitutional duty it is to provide “advice and consent” to presidential nominees, actually has the audacity to plan confirmation hearings. Trump raged that…

“We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People, but Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our Great Nominees. They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them to do that. We have a Country to run, and many big problems to solve, mostly created by Democrats. REPUBLICANS, BE SMART AND TOUGH!!!”

Let’s begin to unpack that harangue by noting that Trump’s claim to have “won a Historic Landslide and Mandate” is a flagrant lie. The margin of victory over Vice-President Kamala Harris was a mere 1.6%, one of the narrowest margins in modern history. Consequently, the only mandate he has is in his ego-warped, cartoon brain.

The remainder of Trump’s rant addresses his outrage that Democrats in the Senate, and even a few Republicans, intend to hold confirmation hearings to assess the suitability of Trump’s Cabinet and White House nominees. And no wonder he’s upset. His nominees are profoundly unqualified, inexperienced, and utterly unfit for the jobs that Trump nominated them to perform. Many of Trump’s nominees are, in fact, downright hostile toward the departments they are being asked to run. For instance…

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, advocates terminating most of the experts at the Food and Drug administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services.
  • Kash Patel, his nominee for FBI Director, has promised to go after the media as well as members of the Bureau for imaginary crimes against Trump.
  • Pete Hegseth, his nominee for Secretary of Defense, has advocated on behalf of soldiers convicted of war crimes.
  • Pam Bondi, his nominee for Attorney General, says she will prosecute the U.S. attorneys under her in the Justice Department.
  • Linda McMahon, his nominee for Secretary of Education, has called for the Education Department to eliminated.

In Trump’s mind, the hearings themselves are “improper” and meant to stall the consecration of his blindly loyal apparatchiks. He believes that Democrats are engaging in “tricks” by inquiring into the qualifications of Trump’s flunkies. And he is beseeching his fellow Republicans to prohibit the Senate from fulfilling their Constitutional duties.

These are the demands of an aspiring authoritarian who seeks unchallenged power and unflinching fealty to Dear Leader. And the fact that Trump is obsessing over this on a day that most other Americans are celebrating the new beginnings of a new year tells you just how serious he is about exalting himself as the this new year unfolds.

Trump must not be allowed to prevail in this wholly un-American perversion of democratic principles. The American people must resist his assault on our Constitution and the liberties it provides. And the resistance begins right after we’re done partying and celebrating the turning of the calendar’s page. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Some Democrats are Planning to Boycott the Inauguration of Trump. Here’s a Better Idea!

Posted by on December 14, 2024 at 1:16 pm. 6 Comments :

In a little more than a month, Donald Trump will stand on the steps of the Capital that he sent his StormTrumpers to assault about four years ago in an attempt to undermine democracy. While there he will lie that he swears to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” That’s the same Constitution that he has said that he wants to terminate.

Six weeks after Election Day and it’s still hard to comprehend how even a razor-thin slice of American voters could have chosen to allow Trump to reoccupy the White House. Those who voted for Trump managed to set aside that he is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who tried to overthrow the government. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The list of Trump’s malfeasance and immorality is long and loathsome.

SEE THIS: What Is America? Who Votes For This?

There are now reports that some Democratic members of Congress are planning to boycott Trump’s inauguration. It is totally understandable why they would consider passing up what, under normal circumstances, would be a celebration of democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. But there will be nothing to celebrate next month when an unambiguously anti-American huckster assumes the leadership of the country. As Axios reports…

“More than a dozen congressional Democrats plan to sit out President-elect Trump’s inauguration, and many more are anxiously grappling with whether to attend, Axios has learned. […] For many Democrats, the scars of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol remain fresh in the mind, marking Trump as a threat to democracy.”

However, as justifiable as it would be to snub Trump’s swearing in, there is another option that might make more sense. Turn it in to a “swearing at.” Democrats, and other patriots, could attend the inauguration and transform it into a protest. They could carry signs reminding the American people that Trump is an ethical nightmare and a criminal. They can even cause a peaceful disruption when he attempts to lie about preserving and protecting the Constitution.

What’s more, they could follow up the inaugural ceremony by remaining at the Capital after Trump leaves to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers who were injured or died as a result of the January 6th insurrection that Trump incited. And they could even incorporate a memorial to Martin Luther King Jr., whose holiday just happens to coincide with Inauguration Day.

We need to find creative ways to respond to the horror of having to endure another four years of Trumpism. We need to find reasons to be positive and productive as we resist his aspirations for a dystopian dictatorship. And that can all begin on day one of Trump 2.0, right on the Capital steps. Trump’s inauguration would be a great place to demonstrate to the nation and the world that he’s a loathsome cretin who most Americans despise. LFG!

NOTICE: There is another event being planned for January 18, 2025, two days before Trump’s inauguration: The People’s March, sponsored by a collection of progressive organization in order to “demand and defend our freedoms against fascism.”

WTHolyF? Trump Says Democrats Want to Ditch the Popular Vote in Favor of the Electoral College

Posted by on December 9, 2024 at 12:54 pm. 3 Comments :

Just when you thought that Donald Trump had reached the outer limits of logic and reason, he manages to astound everyone by sinking even lower on the sanity spectrum. Which proves that, with respect to Trump’s tenuous grasp of reality, or at least his perception of what nonsense his cult followers will tolerate, there really is no bottom.

Donald Trump

In another laughably loony late night post to his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump sought to make what he surely considered to be an insightful criticism of the state of politics in America. He absurdly asserted that…

“The Democrats are fighting hard to get rid of the Popular Vote in future Elections. They want all future Presidential Elections to be based exclusively on the Electoral College!”

REALLY? This would be a brilliant observation, if it weren’t for the pesky little fact that it is diametrically opposed to what Democrats actually want. Progressives have long criticized the Electoral College for its inherent bias toward small, red states that lean Republican. And it was Trump’s mangling of the Constitution’s references to it that were the basis of his ludicrous claim that he had won the election in 2020, and his inciting of the January 6th insurrection.

It’s hard to imagine what might have triggered this outburst. Generally when Trump makes a comment like this it is provoked by something he saw someone say on television. But this is so far removed from anything that makes sense, the source of his angst is a mystery.

Even worse, Trump is displaying his infamous ignorance of American laws and principles. He is complaining, incorrectly, that Democrats “want all future Presidential Elections to be based exclusively on the Electoral College!” However, all presidential elections are already based exclusively on the Electoral College, and they always have been. And he should know. It’s how came to occupy the White House in 2016. And it’s how he tried to overturn the election in 2020 by deploying an army of fake electors.

If Trump needs any further evidence that Democrats oppose the Electoral College and favor the popular vote, he need look no further than the progressive movement to effectively nullify the Electoral College by a group called “The National Popular Vote” whose website states that…

“The National Popular Vote law will take effect when enacted by states with a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). Then, the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC will get all the electoral votes from all of the enacting states. That is, the candidate receiving the most popular votes nationwide will be guaranteed enough electoral votes to become President.” […]

“The National Popular Vote Compact has been enacted into law by 17 states and the District of Columbia…These jurisdictions have 209 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the law.”

This movement is not some fringe faction of extremists. According to a recent survey by PEW Research, abolishing the Electoral College and electing presidents by popular vote is quite…well, popular…

“More than six-in-ten Americans (63%) would instead prefer to see the winner of the presidential election be the person who wins the most votes nationally. Roughly a third (35%) favor retaining the Electoral College system, according to a Pew Research Center survey”

What’s more, Trump is not only flagrantly wrong (as usual) about what Democrats want. That broad majority of 63% of Americans who prefer relying on the popular vote includes nearly half (46%) of Republicans. And according to the National Popular Vote group, they are tantalizingly close to achieving their goal. They report that in addition to the 17 states that have already passed their bill, “The bill has also passed one legislative chamber in 7 states with 74 electoral votes (AR, AZ, MI, NC, NV, OK, VA).”

That would be enough to align the Electoral College with the popular vote, and to end the bizarre and outdated dependence on the undemocratic Electoral College. With some some hard work and good luck, that could happen before the next presidential election. Then Trump would have to manufacture something entirely new to whine about. Which, unfortunately, is one of his few demonstrated skills.

MAKE IT STOP! Crybaby Trump Continues His Infantile Whining Weeks After Winning the Election

Posted by on November 26, 2024 at 1:28 pm. NO Comments :

There is just no satisfying a malignant narcissist with delusions of grandeur and aspirations of authoritarian dictatorship. And Donald Trump is a textbook example of someone suffering from this acute psychosis that produces a relentless stream of anxiety and unrestrained animosity.

Donald Trump, Maggie Haberman

Emotionally stable persons are generally pacified when they achieve some long sought after goal. But Trump is congenitally incapable of pacification. He relentlessly regards himself as a victim no matter what the circumstances at any given moment in time. In fact, he’s actually proud of his ceaseless proclivity for whining, bragging that “I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win. I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

SEE THIS: Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President

So even three weeks after election day, Trump is still complaining that he is a victim of nefarious entities determined to destroy him. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted a message griping about some unexplained offense by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. He began by asking…

“Will the failing New York Times apologize to its readers for getting years of ‘Trump’ coverage so wrong. They write such phony ‘junk,’ knowing full well how incorrect it is, only meaning to demean.”

Trump doesn’t bother to cite any particular story that he asserts was “wrong,” or “phony,” or “junk,” or intended to “demean.” But he does resort to disgorging his standard issue insults and misogyny, referring to Haberman as “Magot Hagerman,” a slur that most seven year olds have outgrown.

Trump goes on to malign Haberman as “a third rate writer and fourth rate intellect [who he] almost never speak[s] to.” Never mind that he has spent many hours with her over the years, and proudly posed with her for photos in the Oval Office (see above). She also published a book – “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” – based on her lengthy interviews of him. Despite these easily verifiable facts, Trump continued with a baseless charge against the New York Times, alleging falsely that…

“They do no fact checking, because facts don’t matter to them. I don’t believe I’ve had a legitimately good story in the NYT for years, AND YET I WON, IN RECORD FASHION, THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN DECADES. WHERE IS THE APOLOGY?”

For the record, Trump’s “RECORD FASHION” of winning was actually one of the narrowest margins of victory in modern times. He led Kamala Harris by less than 2%, and didn’t even muster a majority of the popular vote, for the third election in a row. But he still has the gall to ask for an apology? WTF for? Telling too much of the truth about him?

As usual, Trump’s temper tantrum was likely triggered by something that he came across in the press. Since he doesn’t mention what it was, we have to make an educated guess. In the hours before his hissy fit, the Times had published two stories by Haberman. One was about his long time aide, Boris Epshteyn, who is alleged to have sought payment from people seeking jobs in Trump’s administration. Proving that everyone in the Trump orbit is corrupt.

The other article was about Natalie Harp, a starstruck Trump flunky and former OAN cable “news” host who was known for writing “devotional letters,” to Trump, including one that said, “You are all that matters to me.” Her ultra-sycophantic presence in the Trump camp “has generated concern among other aides who feel she has been far too willing to serve as a funnel for conspiratorial information.” No wonder Trump loves her.

One other possible provocation for Trump’s outburst was a segment Monday night on CNN where Haberman talked about what Trump might do to retaliate against special counsel Jack Smith and other prosecutors in the Justice Department who indicted him for inciting the January 6th insurrection, and for stealing and hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel and lying to the FBI about it.

Whatever the cause, it is clear that Trump is not mentally stable enough to perform the duties of the presidency. Not that he ever was. But now he is wracked with a frenzied hostility aimed at his perceived enemies without any rational basis. And as bad as this is now, it is only going to get worse over time. Hopefully Democrats in Congress will will provide some protection from the harm he is preparing to unleash. The MAGA GOP – and his family – obviously don’t care that he is a danger to himself and the nation.
