Trump and the GOP Affirm Their Reputations as Moronic Hypocrites After Hunter Biden’s Pardon

Posted by on December 2, 2024 at 2:30 pm. NO Comments :

Trying to find hypocrisy or stupidity on the part of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions is about as difficult as trying to find stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. They are virtually everywhere. And making the task even easier is that Trump et al seem to be intent on festooning their foolishness with flags and flashing red lights.

Trump: I only pardon the best people.

The news that President Biden has issued a pardon for his son Hunter has ignited another firestorm of performative outrage on the part of the Trumpists. All of a sudden they are determined to take the sort of principled stance that has never been a part of their persona. They are now expressing their shock and dismay over what they are falsely insisting is a display of immorality on the part of the President. Never mind the obvious moral decrepitude of their own Dear Leader Trump…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Refusal to Sign the Required Ethics Agreement is His Virtual Promise to Violate It

There could be some reasonable criticisms of Biden’s decision to pardon his son. For instance, he could have waited until after Hunter’s trials and sentencing. Then he could have just commuted the sentence if there was one. But the Trumpian critics never get close to any reasonable arguments.

Since the ethically deficient fish stinks from the head, let’s begin this examination of MAGA morality with Trump’s response to the pardon. Late Sunday evening Trump posted the following message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social…

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

Seriously? Hunter Biden did not hurt anyone but himself with his violations of tax reporting and his misstatements on a form when purchasing a gun. And he made restitution by taking full responsibility and paying all his back taxes and penalties. He certainly didn’t storm the Capital causing millions of dollars of damages. He didn’t assault police officers, putting 140 of them in the hospital. He didn’t threaten the lives of members of Congress and their staff, and even the Vice-President.

In short, there is no rational comparison between Hunter’s actions and those of Trump’s January 6th insurrectionists. And there is no justifiable argument to grant the rioters pardons. For Trump to even bring it up is preposterous and an insult to the victims that his mob attacked in an effort to undermine American democracy. However, the criticisms of the pardon by the MAGA crowd were equally as devoid of reason. There were three main categories of that criticism.

First of all, they characterized the pardon as an unprecedented abuse of presidential power. In order to make that complaint, they had to ignore the points that Biden made in his official statement that Hunter was the subject of selective prosecution. Even more egregious, they had to ignore Trump’s pardons of his criminal accomplices, including Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Charles Kushner, Dinesh D’Souza, and dozens more.

Secondly, they claimed that Hunter’s pardon would justify Trump pardoning others in the future, including the January 6th insurrectionists. However, Trump has been promising to pardon them for years, and long before Biden pardoned his son. Trump doesn’t care about justifications, and wouldn’t bother with them. He does what he wants irrespective of what anyone else – or the law – has to say about it. If Biden had not pardoned Hunter, Trump would still pardon the January 6th mob, and many others who don’t warrant pardons.

Thirdly, they are yammering about whether Biden lied about his intention to pardon Hunter. He didn’t lie. He changed his mind. And with good reason considering the vengeance seeking extremists who have explicitly targeted Hunter (Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, etc.) that have been nominated to serve in Trump’s Cabinet. Patel, Trump’s proposed FBI Director, has stated unambiguously that Hunter is guilty – not allegedly guilty – of crimes that he has never been tried for, and for which their is no evidence of guilt.

When Trump’s Republican comrades can accept that they are all flaming hypocrites for supporting someone who has been convicted of 34 felonies, and has been adjudicated as a rapist with dozens of other accusations of sexual harassment and assault, and has been ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars in penalties for financial fraud, and has been prohibited from operating any charities in New York, and has been caught hoarding classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel, and has attempted to overthrow a fair and legal election… then they can maybe have something to say about President Biden and his son, Hunter. Until then, STFU!

Fox News Asks Biden’s Press Sec if He Apologized to Trump for Saying He’s a Threat to Democracy

Posted by on November 13, 2024 at 2:57 pm. NO Comments :

The unfortunate outcome of the presidential election last week is already sending spine-chilling reverberations across the political landscape as the ghastly consequences of another Donald Trump occupation of the White House become impossible to ignore.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

The shape of Trump’s Cabinet has become deplorably clear in the past few days. His nominees so far reflect his inherent corruption, ignorance, aspirations of autocracy, and the shallowness of a former reality TV game show host. Most of his picks are closely associated with his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

SEE THIS: Trump is Stacking His Cabinet with Fox News Trump-Fluffers

Trump has not yet named his choice to be his press secretary. But rest assured that it will be a brazenly dishonest purveyor of self-serving falsehoods. In the meantime, we should appreciate the press secretary currently serving President Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre.

At Wednesday’s daily White House press briefing, the noxious odor of Fox News wafted into the room as a reporter from their business network, Edward Lawrence, was called upon to ask a question. True to form, it was a preposterous question that had nothing to do with any matter of concern to the American people. Instead, he sought to manufacture a melodrama out of the morning meeting that Biden had with Trump…

Lawrence: We saw a unified front related to a transition in the Oval Office meeting. But a lot was said on the campaign trail like ‘Trump is a dangerous threat to our country and our democracy. Was there an apology today?
Jean-Pierre: I’m sorry? Apology from whom? I’ve answered this a couple of times with respect to democracy in the past week. The President is always going to feel obligated to be honest with the American people. What he says still stands. And it’s not just him. You heard this from former [Trump] staffers.

Biden had nothing to apologize for. He told the truth about Trump. And as Jean-Pierre went on to note, is was Trump’s own close associates who were the ones that raised the question of his threat to democracy. It was his White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, his Defense Secretary, Gen. James Mattis, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, and others who said that Trump was a fascist who praised Hitler. Trump himself made statements that were overtly threatening to democracy, such as branding his critics as “the enemy within.”

Lawrence’s question also neglected to mention that Trump used the very same language aimed at Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, who he said, without a shred of evidence, were threats to democracy. But Lawrence didn’t bother to ask whether Trump apologized. Unrattled by Lawrence’s purposeful provocation, Jean-Pierre gave a calm and coherent response…

Jean-Pierre: What we also want to be very clear about is listening to the will of the American people. There was an election. It is important to respect our institution. It is important to respect the free and fair election. And that’s what this President is doing.

America needs to prepare itself for what’s to come in the White House Press Briefing room. Axios is reporting that Trump is expected to “shake it up.”

“Trump’s first administration tried to ban outlets it saw as unfavorable from off-camera press briefings. That included the New York Times, Politico, CNN and BBC.” […]

“Any efforts to expand access to daily press briefings to pro-Trump outlets, such as Steve Bannon’s War Room, would need to come at the expense of existing outlets.”

So get ready for briefings that feature folks like Bannon, Alex Jones, and Laura Loomer. The “mainstream” media reporters from the New York Times and CBS and NPR will all be banished as “fake news.” And Trump’s press secretary is likely to be someone like his former attorney Alina Habba or his daughter Tiffany. Which means the rest of the media had better grow a spine and be prepared to protect the very notion of a free press.

Trump AG Prospect Savors ‘Glorious’ Plans to ‘Put Kids in Cages’ and Migrants ‘In the DC Gulag’

Posted by on November 8, 2024 at 2:38 pm. 4 Comments :

The warnings about the existential dangers of another occupation of the White House by Donald Trump were abundant and horrifying. They came from Democrats, Republicans, and a broad assembly of non-partisan government experts, academics, historians, and veterans of public service. Notably, many of Trump’s closest associates were among the most fervent in their forecasts of doom and gloom.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

Trump’s most passionate detractors included his White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, his Secretary of Defense, Gen. Jim Mattis, his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and dozens of his Cabinet staffers who refused to support his candidacy. Unfortunately, there were just barely enough deluded and gullible MAGA cult disciples who didn’t care that Trump is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an unabashed fascist, because they thought their eggs were too expensive.

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

Only a few days have have passed since the election, but Trump’s allies. and potential officials in his next administration, are already earning their totalitarian stripes. Case in point, Mike Davis has been identified as a possible Attorney General in the coming Trump regime. He appeared on the podcast of Russian “useful idiot” Benny Johnson where he discussed a variety of issues central to Trump’s Project 2025 agenda. And it didn’t take long for him to unleash some of the repulsive rhetoric that characterized the Trump campaign.

For instance, Davis declared that “We’re gonna indict. We’re gonna indict Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and James Biden. And every other scumball and sleazeball Biden.” Note that he’s already using the inclusive “we” to describe what is being plotted post-inauguration. Davis also promised that “Every January 6th defendant is gonna get a pardon.” Which is an indication of how the Trump administration will adhere to the principles of law and order.

Meanwhile, Davis threatened New York Attorney General, Letitia James – an honest and reputable prosecutor – saying “I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against president Trump in his second term, because… Listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time. And we will put your fat ass in prison.” Davis has learned well from Trump to couch his threats in condescension, profanity, and misogyny.

However, perhaps the most despicable commentary by Davis on Russkie Benny’s program came up during a discussion of immigration. Davis unleashed a furious rant targeting both undocumented and naturalized immigrants. He raged that…

“We’re going to deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing. Anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious. We’re gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo.”

HOLY CR&P! The veil is off the turd. Davis is asserting that millions of migrants will be rounded up and incarcerated in “gulags.” and it doesn’t even matter if they are citizens or not. Grandparents, children, everyone will be “put in cages” for an undetermined amount of time before they are banished to some undetermined countries. And in his grotesque view it will be “glorious.” What he is proposing is a flagrant abuse of human rights and an abomination of decency.

For the record, his plan – which is Trump’s plan – is both illegal and inhumane. But it is also bad for the U.S. economy, and will result in extraordinary harm and suffering of the American people. A report by the American Immigration Council studied Trump’s proposals and came to the following conclusions…

  • “Deporting one million immigrants per year would incur an annual cost of $88 billion, with the majority of that cost going towards building detention camps. It would take over ten years, and the building of hundreds to thousands of new detention facilities, to arrest, detain, process, and remove all 13.3 million targeted immigrants…The total cost over 10.6 years (assuming an annual inflation rate of 2.5 percent) would be $967.9 billion.”
  • “The U.S. would lose out on key contributions undocumented households make to social safety net programs annually, including $22.6 billion to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare. [And] Overall, mass deportation would lead to a loss of 4.2 percent to 6.8 percent of annual U.S. GDP, or $1.1 trillion to $1.7 trillion”
  • “Deporting undocumented immigrants would separate 4 million mixed-status families, affecting 8.5 million U.S. citizens with undocumented family members.’

In short, it would cost over a trillion dollars to implement, lose billions in revenue for the general budget, as well as Social Security and Medicare, depress the nation’s gross domestic product, and cruelly separate families, including those of legal residents and citizens.

For his part, Trump remains as ignorant as ever of the harm his proposals would impose. When asked about the cost of his plan, Trump was unable to provide a coherent answer, saying only that “There is no price tag.” Well, that’s comforting, isn’t it?

Fox News Lies that Biden Wasn’t at a Cabinet Meeting, Even as Their Own Video Shows Him There

Posted by on September 23, 2024 at 12:59 pm. 4 Comments :

First Lady Jill Biden’s presence at a Cabinet meeting last week has triggered the hypersensitive conspiracy crackpots at Fox News. This is another example of how desperate they are for anything derogatory with which to smear President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Friends

Since the Trump-fluffing propagandists at Fox News can’t find anything of substance to use against Harris, they are increasingly resorting to ridiculous trivialities and outright lies to malign the Democratic ticket. And often their pathetic criticisms are both trivial and false. For example…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Desperately Struggling to Find Dirt on Kamala Harris – Here is What They Found

On Monday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends launched another of their patented disinformation campaigns that are specifically designed to appeal the gullible rubes that comprise the vast majority of their audience. The segment addressed reports that Jill Biden had attended a White House Cabinet meeting.

Unveiling what the hosts – Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones – apparently believe is a bombshell revelation about President Biden and his administration, they engaged in the following exchange…

Doocy: Regarding Jill Biden, maybe she’s saying that because she’s running the country.
Earhardt: Yeah. She was at the cabinet meeting on Friday. She was at the head of the table. Here’s a picture of her. And I was watching Fox and Friends Weekend and I turn on the TV and I see her at the end of the table and I’m, like, where is he [President Biden]? Why isn’t he at this meeting?
Jones: Miranda Devine [of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post] writes ‘Who exactly is running the country.’ Certainly it appears to be Jill Biden and not Joe Biden.”

So Fox “News” is reporting that Biden did not attend his Cabinet meeting. And they forcefully demanded to know where he was and why he wasn’t there. But if they had bothered to watch the video that was playing while they were talking, they would have seen Biden right there at the table. Apparently that was too much to ask of these alleged journalists.

What’s more, Fox reported that the First Lady was seated at the head of the table, which they claimed was evidence that she was running, not merely the meeting, but the whole country. However, Biden’s usual place at such meetings is in the middle of the table, where he sat on this occasion as well. But Fox News was too busy digging for nonexistent dirt to pay any attention to measly things like facts. Even if they are only related to the national security implications of – seating arrangements?

What Fox neglected to report entirely was why the First Lady was there in the first place. It was because the President invited her “to give an update on the White House initiative to fundamentally change how we approach and fund women’s health services.” According to the White House transcript of the event…

“We’re grateful that Jill is here today. And here, across previous administrations, first ladies have attended these meetings and on — for specific reasons. It’s the first time Jill has joined us. And it goes to show how important the issue is, what she’s about to speak to, to both of us.”

Naturally, Fox News doesn’t want to inform their viewers that Biden and Harris are delivering tangible benefits for women. Particularly when MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump have such animosity toward them and openly hold them in contempt.

While the GOP is working to deprive women of critical healthcare, Democrats are making progress expanding those services. And the only thing that Fox News can do in response is to air asinine stories about seating arrangements and the President missing a meeting that he was actually at. And this is what they call “news.”

Trump Blames the Alleged Assassination Attempt at His Golf Course on Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

Posted by on September 16, 2024 at 12:26 pm. 3 Comments :

For the second time in as many months a cretinous jerk with an assault rifle has apparently plotted to assassinate former president and convicted felon, Donald Trump. And just as they did in the prior episode, MAGA Republicans are furiously trying to lay the blame on Democrats in general, and on Kamala Harris and President Biden in particular.

Donald Trump Angry

Never mind that the shooter in July was a registered Republican, and that the the latest suspect reportedly voted for Trump in 2016. The MAGA Klan has been attributing blame for these loathsome acts on Democrats without a shred of evidence to support their claims.

SEE THIS: MAGA World Blames Biden and Democrats for the Violence that Trump Has Incited for Years

Not one to shy away from a blazing conspiracy melodrama, Donald Trump gave an interview to his pals at Fox News Digital wherein he fanned the flames of these current events in a manner that can only be interpreted as an effort to cause the most damage possible by spreading the rhetorical fire. Asserting his clairvoyant powers, he channeled the thoughts of the would-be shooter, Ryan Wesley Routh, saying that…

“He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country – both from the inside and out.”

Not only does Trump profess to know what Routh was thinking, but he actually engages in the sort of incendiary rhetoric that he is pretending to be against by charging that Biden and Harris are “destroying the country.” And he was only just getting started…

“These are people that want to destroy our country. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat. […] They do it with a combination of rhetoric and lawsuits they wrap me up in.”

Trump can hardly complain about the language used to describe him, which is mostly accurate citations of his own words. But he is also trying to associate the legal cases against him with motivations to do him in. In his mind, any legitimate indictment and prosecution of him for the crimes that he has actually committed is tantamount to an assassination threat. In fact, just campaigning against him is a mortal sin. Then he continued with a threat of his own, saying that…

“They use highly inflammatory language. I can use it too – far better than they can – but I don’t.”

Yeah, right! Trump doesn’t use inflammatory language at all. Unless you count what he said in this very interview about Biden and Harris “destroying the country” and being “the enemy from within.” And he has used similar and worse language for years at his cult rallies and on other interviews in the MAGA media. Don’t forget the incitation of his StormTrumpers to attack Congress and stage a deadly coup attempt on January 6, 2021.

Trump repeated himself in a post on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Monday morning wherein he raged about “the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate,” and “all of the ridiculous lawsuits,” that have “taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.” And that “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” You gotta watch out for those flying communist bullets.

The rest of the post was dedicated to Trump’s routine, racist immigrant bashing about “millions of people, from places unknown” and “TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE” “INVADE[RS]” who he says “ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH.” It seems that to Trump the answer to every question, no matter the subject, is “invading immigrant criminals.”

To top it off, Trump demonstrated his devotion to grifting off of anything that he thinks he can exploit for financial gain. He posted the following comment on Truth Social the morning after his golf cart-astrophe. The annotations reveal his true motivations in trying times like these…

In a Weird Counseling Session with ‘Doctor’ Phil, Trump Blames Biden and Harris for Getting Shot

Posted by on August 28, 2024 at 1:54 pm. NO Comments :

As election day draws nearer, Donald Trump is exhibiting ever more worrisome signs of emotional distress and an inability to comprehend reality. For the most part that is manifesting in his public outbursts at his cult rallies and online on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Trump’s has been noticeably deteriorating as his legal peril mounts and his electoral prospects fade. Many psychological experts have observed that his paranoid anxieties have increased significantly and that they will likely get worse the closer he gets to losing in the courtroom and/or at the ballot box. He has already left a trail of deranged droppings affirming his fragile condition.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

On Tuesday Trump had an informal psychological therapy session with TV’s pretend “Doctor” Phil McGraw. Much of this “interview” was littered with the typical lies that Trump dispenses daily. Although a few were a bit more original. For instance, Trump claimed that he would be declared the winner in California if Jesus were the vote counter. And speaking of God, he also said that the Almighty wants him “to be involved in…saving the world.”

Yes, Trump definitely needs psychological help. But he isn’t going to get it from a phony TV “doctor.” However, when McGraw brought up Trump’s “ear death” experience in Pennsylvania, Trump sought to politicize it in the most repulsive manner, going off on another Trumpian rant that was utterly bereft of evidence or rationality. He said that…

“When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it? I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. They were weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole DoJ [Department of Justice] to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety. They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service.”

Trump has a pretty knee-jerk reaction to anything that he regards as critical of him. It’s always the fault of whoever he perceives as his most prominent enemy at any given point in time. Right now it’s President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris. So of course he blames them for the shooting that was done by a registered Republican who had no connection to Biden or Harris or any other Democratic person or group.

Trump’s whining about “weaponizing government” against him is more of his customary complaints that he makes with zero evidence. He blames Biden and Harris for his 34 felony convictions, and the other 54 indictments he has pending, despite the fact that they have had nothing to do with any of it. They were all the result of work by citizens on Grand Juries, independent counsels, and state prosecutors. Trump went on to say that…

“They’re saying I’m a threat to democracy. […] And you know that can get assassins or potential assassins going. That’s a terrible thing. Maybe that bullet is because of their rhetoric.”

Acknowledging that Trump is a threat to democracy isn’t a signal to assassins. It’s a verifiable fact based on his own statements. He idolizes brutal tyrants. He has expressly called for “terminating the Constitution.” He already staged a deadly coup attempt on January 6, 2021. And he recently told his cult followers that they didn’t need to vote for him because he already has all the votes he needs. Which sounds more like he has plans to dispense with vote counting and undermine democracy by other more nefarious means. But he also says that he needs votes now in this election, but after that it won’t matter anymore.

Does that sound like someone who reveres democracy, or would fight to preserve it? What’s more, Trump’s complaint about dangerous rhetoric exhibits the self-awareness of a jellyfish. He is the one who has been relentlessly maligning his foes in dehumanizing ways, and even calling for them to be executed for treason. If anyone is inciting violence, it is Trump and his confederates.

Although it is entirely predictable that he would accuse his opponents of precisely what he is guilty of. And if Trump is nothing else, he’s predictable, and predictably reprehensible.

Fox News Hypes Bogus Report By GOP Falsely Alleging that Biden Engaged in Impeachable Conduct

Posted by on August 19, 2024 at 2:43 pm. 1 Comments :

If anyone is looking for further affirmation that Fox News is the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, the notoriously disreputable network that settled a 3/4 of a billion dollar defamation lawsuit for lying on Trump’s behalf, just provided another example of its political biases.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

On Monday the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was set to begin its convention to officially certify the candidacy of Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Party’s nominee for President of the United States of America. This year the convention is being held under unique circumstances as Harris only became a candidate three weeks ago. Nevertheless, she is riding a wave of enthusiasm and surging popularity that is stirring anxiety and desperation in the Trump camp.

SEE THIS: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

Right on cue, Fox News and the Republican Party deployed to try to steal the DNC’s thunder. On the morning of the first day of the DNC convention, the GOP issued a report that they claimed contained proof “that President Biden engaged in impeachable conduct.” The report was immediately given to Fox News who broadcast it as an exclusive on Maria Bartiromo’s Trump-Fluffing Hour (video below). And Trump posted it to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, whining “And they go after me for NOTHING!” Fox correspondent, Brooke Singman, gleefully boasted that…

“I obtained a copy of this 292 page report from Republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees. They’ve been leading the impeachment inquiry against President Biden for months. They said that their investigation found that President Biden engaged in impeachable conduct and said that he abused his office and defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”

Singman went on to quote from the report, saying that…

“As Vice-President, President Biden actively participated in his conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden”

The only problem with that is that it has no resemblance to reality whatsoever. The testimony of the GOP’s own witnesses actually absolved Biden of any wrongdoing. During the phone calls that Singman refers to, Biden was only on while innocent pleasantries like the weather were exchanged. The GOP’s “star” witness testified that he never heard the President talk about any business dealings.

Singman continued quoting from the GOP’s work of pure, unadulterated, and deliberate fiction, saying that…

“Several witnesses testified that Hunter Biden invoked his father in business dealings with Romanian, Chinese, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian companies, resulting in millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family.”

Once again, the report doesn’t actually find that President Biden did any of what the report is alleging. In fact, every reference to any alleged wrongdoing in the report was vaguely framed as being associated with “the Biden family.” The report contained zero evidence that President Biden received any money or did anything wrong. What’s more, if Republicans were really interested in a president who enriched himself through shady business dealings with foreigners, they should have been investigating Trump…

It is notable that Singman’s report on Fox News didn’t provide any response from Biden or any White House representative. That isn’t because there wasn’t one. When she posted the same story on the Fox News website, where it wouldn’t get nearly the same amount of exposure, she did include a response by White House spokesperson, Sharon Yang. So she knew about it, but intentionally left it out of the television report. She even included it in an early morning tweet…

Yang: “After wasting nearly two years and millions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans have finally given up on their wild goose chase. This failed stunt will only be remembered for how it became an embarrassment that their own members distanced themselves from as they only managed to turn up evidence that refuted their false and baseless conspiracy theories.”

The attempt by Republicans to tarnish Biden’s reputation, even after he has announced his retirement, is reprehensible and intended only to be nasty while hoping that the stain rubs off on Harris. So far, like every other dirty trick that they have tried to play, they have met with failure.

They still have no evidence of any impeachable crimes. And even when they were taunted by Democratic representative Jared Moskowitz to call for an impeachment vote, the GOP reprobates never did. Which is emblematic of their dishonesty and cowardice. It’s a level of cretinism that is only matched by their confederates at Fox News.

Trump Makes a Pitifully Impotent Attempt to Drive a Wedge Between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

Posted by on August 15, 2024 at 1:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The desperation in Donald Trump has been oozing out of every pore in his corpulent body ever since Kamala Harris became his opponent for the presidency. Trump was primed to run against Joe Biden with a barrel full of age-related assaults that he must now discard. He never had a substantive argument against Biden or a truthful one for himself.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Consequently, Trump is now left with nothing but his babbling diversions about Hannibal Lecter and his hostile and tiresome taunts at the press. He spent his recent cult rally in North Carolina – where he promised to focus on economic issues – flailing wildly with infantile insults at both Biden and Harris, whom he is now trailing in most polls.

SEE THIS: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

On Thursday morning Trump took to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, to resume his barrage of incoherent blather aimed at Harris and Biden. In a psychotic rant Trump alleged that there is some sort of division between the President and the Vice-President. Of Course, it is another figment cooked up in his perversely warped imagination. He wrote that…

“Kamala Harris wants NOTHING TO DO WITH CROOKED JOE BIDEN. They are throwing him out on the Monday Night Stage, known as Death Valley. He now HATES Obama and Crazy Nancy more than he hates me! He is an angry man, as he should be. They stole the Presidency from him — ‘It was a Coup!'”

First of all, any assessment by Trump of what is going on in the personal lives of Democrats must be taken with a shipload of salt. That’s especially true of his musings about the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC). He obviously has no sources or insights into internal Democratic affairs.

For the record, Harris has scheduled Biden to speak on day one of the DNC during a celebration of the President she has served loyally for three and half years. It will be a tribute at a time reserved for honors. By comparison, here are the people that Trump scheduled at the RNC for what he calls “Death Valley”: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Ron Johnson, Sen. Tim Scott, Virginia, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. They will surely be thrilled to find out just how lowly he regards them by having scheduled them there..

To make matters worse for Trump, Harris and Biden made their first public appearance together since the passing of the torch on the same Thursday morning. And Harris was not shy about expressing her admiration and appreciation for her boss. She introduced him saying that “I could speak all afternoon about the person that I am standing on the stage with. [Extended ovation] Our extraordinary President Joe Biden.”

And the feelings were mutual. In his remarks Biden praised Harris as “an incredible partner…She’s gonna make one hell of a president.” But he also found time to taunt Trump as “The guy we’re running against…what’s his name? Donald Dump?”

Trump’s characterization of Biden as hating Harris and Obama and Pelosi is just more evidence of his acute derangement, which is getting worse by the hour. Meanwhile, both Harris and Biden are campaigning in an environment of joyfulness that the nation finds endearing and a great relief from the animus of Trump & Co. Plus, like much of the English language, Trump is proving that he doesn’t have the slightest idea what the word “coup” means. It was Biden who chose to step aside and endorse Harris. And it looks like it was another brilliant decision on Biden’s part.

Trump is the coup plotter – and the convicted felon – and the sexual abuser – and the financial fraudster – and the serial adulterer – and the wannabe dictator. And for some gawdfersaken reason, he is also the choice of the Republican Party to be their standard bearer and lead them to another humiliating defeat in November. Let’s wish them all the best in that pursuit.

TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

Posted by on August 14, 2024 at 12:55 pm. 3 Comments :

Watching the downward spiral of Donald Trump is becoming object lesson in mental deterioration as he descends ever deeper into a bottomless pit of pathos and desperation. Ever since Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, Trump has responded with exponentially more extreme exhibits of madness. And he wasn’t exactly a portrait of sanity before that.

Donald Trump

The media hasn’t been especially good at reporting the severity of Trump’s psychological maladies. While they spent months obsessing over President Biden’s alleged age-related defects, they ignored Trump’s far worse displays of derangement. Biden would get criticized for stuttering, but Trump would get a pass for hallucinating.

SEE THIS: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

The good news is that some of the biases of the press may be starting to thaw. The Washington Post just published an article that enumerates some of Trump’s recent meanderings into the muck of his mania. The headline summarizes the substance: “Trump’s laundry list of increasingly bizarre claims.” And it doesn’t mince words describing Trump’s meltdown…

“This is bonkers, even by Trump’s own conspiratorial and falsehood-laden standards [and that] It’s difficult to truly compare the relative ridiculousness of Trump’s claims over time, but there is no question he’s pushed the envelope in new and astonishing ways.”

The Post enumerates ten of Trump’s most recent derpitudes, followed by documented fact checks. They begin with one that was just loosed a few days ago: “Harris’s rally crowds ‘DIDN’T EXIST’ and ‘nobody was there.’” Trump claimed that photos of Harris’ supporters were altered by AI, and that there was really no one at all at the event. Never mind all the live streamed video and press accounts – including by conservative media. Trump’s assertion was wholly manufactured from raw fiction.

The list continued with even more preposterous assertions emanating from Trump’s corroding cranium. Among them, he accused the FBI of plotting to assassinate him. He said that Harris had only recently turned Black. He repeated his ludicrous charge that Democrats support infanticide. Here is the full list…

On Wednesday morning Trump spoke briefly to reporters after voting in the Florida primary. He was asked about the “fake” crowds claim and replied that “I can’t say what was there, who was there. I can only tell you about ours. And we have the biggest crowds ever in the history of politics. We have crowds that nobody has ever seen before.”

Except that Trump actually and explicitly did say who was there (“nobody”). And his claim that he has “the biggest crowds ever in the history of politics” is just plain delusional. However, his next comment was sort of a curious confession. He said that “We have crowds that nobody has ever seen before.” So now he’s saying that he’s the one who has nonexistent and/or invisible crowds that no one has seen?

Don’t try too hard to figure out anything that Trump says. It will only cause acute frustration and possible brain injury.

Trump is Trying to Provoke Panic Over a Common Stock Market Drop to Save His Failing Campaign

Posted by on August 5, 2024 at 11:48 am. NO Comments :

President Biden is going to go down in history as patriot who always put his country before his own personal interests. That display of character was recently demonstrated again when he stepped aside and endorsed his Vice-President, Kamala Harris, to succeed him as the Democratic candidate for president.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

For contrast, Donald Trump has always put himself before country and every other concern that wasn’t directly associated with his selfish aspirations for money or power or self-aggrandizement. Not to mention his compulsion to avoid going to prison. His malignant narcissism is so severe that he has openly expressed an explicit desire for catastrophes that would harm millions of Americans if it helped him in some way.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Cult Cheers His Hope that Americans Suffer a ‘Great Depression’ While Biden is President

On Monday morning Trump sought to exploit a decline in the stock market for his personal, political benefit. He posted a comment on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, whose purpose could only be interpreted as a deliberate attempt to stoke needless panic and turn a small market dip into major disaster. He wrote that…

“Of course there is a massive market downturn. Kamala is even worse than Crooked Joe. Markets will NEVER accept the Radical Left Lunatic that DESTROYED San Francisco and California, as a whole. Next move, THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024! You can’t play games with MARKETS. KAMALA CRASH!!!”

This is just plain weird, as well as flagrantly untrue. First of all, if Trump wants to blame Harris for the wealth and prosperity of San Francisco and California, she probably won’t mind. Secondly, if the performance of the stock market is a reflection of the Biden/Harris administration, then it’s pretty good reason to vote for Harris and every other Democrat on the ballot. Thirdly, Trump is crawling out onto a pretty weak limb with his fear mongering about a “GREAT DEPRESSION.”

For the record, there was a real stock market crash in late 2008 during the GW Bush term that took the markets down 37%. The S&P index is down only about 2% today, and only 6% from its all time high. That’s a minor and expected correction from the 17% rise in the past year, and the 36% gain since Biden and Harris took office. What’s more, markets worldwide are also down about 2%. Does Trump think that Biden and Harris are also the leaders of every other country on the planet?

Financial experts know that markets are not driven by presidential politics. The gains and losses are due to the performance of the companies that comprise the indexes and the broader state of the economy. Which in this case is firing on all cylinders. Profits are at record highs. More jobs have been created than at any time in modern history. Manufacturing has returned to the U.S. from foreign shores. Wages are rising faster than inflation.

For a look at what bad management does to a company on the stock exchange, take a look at Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG: ticker DJT) that is the parent corporation of Truth Social. While the broader markets are down about 2% today, DJT is down 8%. Furthermore, it is down a whopping 34% since it went public just four moths ago.

Trump’s fear mongering is not just purposefully dishonest, it’s downright dangerous. He is trying to create a worse outcome by driving people to panic. He actually wants America to fail, and for people to get hurt, in order to prop himself up politically. And his cronies in Congress are playing along.

Trump seems to know that the only way he can win is for the American people to suffer. So he’s doing everything he can to produce that result. And anyone who is considering voting for him better reconsider. He’s not on your side. He’s only for himself. And he has no solutions to any of the problems that real people are facing. He has only whining, lying and fear mongering.

UPDATE I: The day following the “massive market downturn” that Trump said was leading to a “GREAT DEPRESSION,” the market gained back more than half of the prior day’s decline.
UPDATE II: Three days after Trump’s “GREAT DEPRESSION,” prediction, the market has recovered more than its losses. It is now higher than it was on before his gloomy and ridiculous prediction.
