Trump Reassures America that He Really is Mentally Toasted in the Debate with Kamala Harris

Posted by on September 11, 2024 at 1:21 pm. 2 Comments :

The first – and possibly only – debate between Vice-President, Kamala Harris, and convicted felon, Donald Trump, is now in the history books, where it will have a unique place of honor as one of the primary factors leading to the election of America’s first woman president.

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The debate featured a strikingly effective strategy by Harris that could be called the “Just Let Trump Talk” gambit. And Trump bought into it hook, line, and sphincter. Throughout the 90 minute clash, Harris appeared confidant, controlled, informed, and at times amused. Trump, meanwhile, was well rehearsed at being himself. He maintained a persistent scowl, yelled absurdities, and engaged in infantile name-calling.

SEE THIS: Trump is Right! ‘We Don’t Need a President Who Isn’t Smart Enough to Answer Reporters’ Questions’

Those who didn’t watch the debate missed some classic Trumpisms that were mostly rehashes of the malarkey that he spews at his cult rallies. For instance, Trump…

  • Got triggered by Harris’ reference to his crowd sizes.
    He has always been sensitive about “size.” And they keep getting smaller and more bored
  • Denied praising Nazis in Charlottesville, saying to just ask Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Jesse Watters.
    Because his Fox News flunkies are such credible sources.
  • Pushed the completely debunked story of pets being eaten by Haitian migrants in Ohio.
    He is desperately pivoting from childless cat ladies to migrant cat eaters.
  • Cited Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán as a character reference.
    Whenever Trump needs moral support, he seeks out his authoritarian idols.
  • Has no regrets about his actions, or lack thereof, on January 6, and blames Nancy Pelosi
    He gleefully watched the carnage on TV for nearly 3 hours, doing nothing to stop it. And it is the president who is in charge of law enforcement in D.C., not the Speaker of the House.
  • Still thinks he won in 2020.
    Despite being unable to provide a shred of evidence after 4 years and 60+ court cases.

In a more sane era, every one of those items would produce several days (weeks?) of news, and likely sink the candidate. But the media seems intent on “sane-washing” trump’s psychological deficiencies. And while, most observers agree that Harris dominated Trump throughout the debate and won on substance and style, everyone from MAGA-Land (including Trump) is bashing the moderators. That’s a sure sign that you know you lost.

Trump’s responses to questions typically meandered through an incomprehensible swamp of deflections and delusions. For instance, in response to a question about his having killed an immigration bill, Trump detoured to defending the size of his rallies, accusing Harris of paying her rally attendees, making daft threats of imminent World War III, and then launched into the ghastly pet eating myth in Springfield, Ohio. For the record…

However, for brazen dishonesty, and pure mush-brained idiocy, nothing comes close to the rant by Trump about how he would resolve the war in Ukraine. He never actually answered that question. But he railed maniacally as he repeated provably false assertions about Harris having met with Vladimir Putin to negotiate a deal to avoid his invasion.

“They sent her to negotiate peace before this war started. Three days later he went in and they started the war because everything they said was weak and stupid…She was the emissary. They sent her to negotiate with Zelenskyy and Putin. And she did. And the war started three days later…But let me tell you something, she is a horrible negotiator. They sent her in to negotiate. As soon as she left Putin did the invasion.”

Literally every word of that is a lie. Harris replied simply and calmly by stating only that “I said at the beginning of this debate that you will hear a bunch of lies coming from this fella, and that is another one.” Then she gave a thoughtful commentary on the importance of preserving America’s relationship with its international allies. Something Trump never understood. To the contrary, he alienated our allies and sucked-up to our enemies.

The morning after the debate, Trump phoned in to Fox and Friends to whine some more. And he went farther than just attacking ABC News moderators. He went after the network like a good totalitarian wannabe, saying that “They ought to take away their license.” He’s giving a preview of what to expect if he becomes “they.”

Trump is also squelching any talk of doing another debate. Which is another sign of his fear of facing off with Harris again. He even balked at a Fox news debate, unless it is moderated by Sean Hannity or Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham. Yeah, that’ll happen.

These are surely strange times politically. And it’s difficult to make reliable predictions about the future. But if there is any justice in this world – and not just the kind that has already ruled against Trump criminally and civilly, but moral justice – Trump will lose in a landslide in November. But for that to happen, the American people must make a commitment to working hard for that outcome. This is no time to relax. It aint over till it’s over. LFG!

Fox News is Making Excuses for Trump Losing the Debate with Kamala Harris Before it Even Begins

Posted by on September 10, 2024 at 1:40 pm. 1 Comments :

The first, and likely only, debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump will take place this evening. In the run up to this event the candidates have been preparing in starkly different ways that are characteristic of their divergent personalities.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Debate

Harris, who is taking her participation in this ritual of democracy seriously, has been studying the issues and developing strategy. Trump, who regards himself as an infallible reservoir of the world’s knowledge, has been insulting Harris as “dumb” and whining about everything being rigged against him. So much so that he had fight to keep voters from hearing what he actually says.

SEE THIS: The Debate Over the Debate: Trump’s Own Handlers Are the Ones Pushing for Him to Be Muted

Trump isn’t the only one who is afraid of how poorly he will perform, and how bad he will look in comparison to Harris. Fox News is also fearful that Trump will not measure up to Harris, who can actually articulate complex subjects that matter to the American people, and form coherent sentences. Trump, on the other hand, is demonstrating ever more severe lapses in mental acuity.

SEE ALSO: HOLY CR&P: Trump’s Rambling, Incoherent Plan to Make Child Care Affordable is Utterly Deranged

On Tuesday morning Fox News began their pre-cleaning operation to explain in advance why Trump will/has lost the debate hours before it began. The following exchange between Fox host Harris Faulkner and her MAGA guest Gianno Caldwell says a lot about how pessimistic the Fox team is…

Caldwell: I don’t believe that Kamala Harris is coming ready to play. She’s relying on the media to support her. And certainly with ABC giving 100% positive coverage for her, 98% negative for Donald Trump, We already know what the table looks like.
Faulkner: I think we learned too at that interview where he was with the Black journalists in Chicago and ABC News had the first question on that one didn’t even acknowledge that he had survived an assassination attempt not too long before. … We know a little bit of what we potentially could get.

Where Caldwell got the impression that Harris isn’t “coming ready to play” is a mystery. On other programs Fox has reported that she was holed up in a hotel room working on her debate prep. Which they put a negative spin on, suggesting that only idiots need to waste time preparing. So according to Fox, Harris is bad for preparing, and bad for not preparing.

What’s more, Caldwell and Faulkner both have no basis whatsoever for alleging any bias on the part of the debate host, ABC News. It is just their knee-jerk reaction to any media enterprise, which they regard as “the enemy of the people” because Trump told them so.

Faulkner then attacked ABC News because a reporter asked Trump a question at a conference of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) about the blatant racism that has been aimed at Harris. Apparently Faulkner thinks that asking Trump about a scratch on his ear is more relevant to the NABJ’s members than a question about systemic bigotry.

Both Faulkner and Caldwell are executing a plan that was surely devised in Fox’s morning editorial meeting. They are attempting to preemptively explain why Trump will fare so badly at the debate that will take place later that evening. They obviously know that Trump is an unstable person, with a tenuous grasp of issues – and reality – who can safely be predicted to humiliate himself. So they are making excuses for it to their flock of MAGA viewers ahead of his anticipated meltdown.

For his part, Trump was continuing his “preparation” for the debate by rage-posting on his failing social media scam, Truth Social. And even as Fox News was defending him, he was attacking Fox…

“Why does FoxNews keep putting on, for endless periods of time, Michael Tyler, Kamala’s publicist, who spews nothing but lies – like Project 2025, etc. Fox tries to be so politically correct, when the other side plays for keeps. RIDICULOUS!!!”

Trump is OUTRAGED that Fox News would interview Michael Tyler, the Director for Communications in the Harris Campaign. And it’s especially funny that a pathological liar like Trump can accuse anyone else of “spew[ing] nothing but lies.” Particularly when the examples that Trump gives are so plainly truthful comments about Trump’s Project 2025.

We can all expect Trump to deliver another of his patented debacles during this debate. And likewise, we can expect Fox News to try to clean up after him. Which is a job that isn’t getting any easier as Trump continues his downward spiral. And he’s going to drag a lot of others down with him before he’s done. For which we should probably thank him.

From Cat Ladies to Cat Eaters: The Trump Cult is Sick, Twisted, and Totally Removed From Reality

Posted by on September 9, 2024 at 12:52 pm. 4 Comments :

The madness of the Donald Trump cult seems to descend to ever new lows with each passing day. It’s a social phenomenon that occurs occasionally when society’s most gullible rubes are persuaded by fear mongering and ludicrous lies to follow a wannabe messiah who doesn’t care about anything but himself.

Donald Trump Zombie

As Kamala Harris is preparing for the upcoming debate with Trump, the former reality TV game show host and convicted felon, Trump, is whiling away the hours posting absurdities on his failing social media scam, Truth Social. And unfortunately for him, his electoral prospects are becoming as dim as his business ventures…

SEE THIS: Circling the Drain: Trump’s Truth Social Craters Since the Kamala Harris Speech at the DNC

On Monday morning the Church of the Demented Don waded hip deep into a new crackpot conspiracy that may be recognized as the most deranged nonsense of Trump’s political career. Which is really saying something. In short, the Trumpists are pushing an entirely fabricated fantasy involving Haitian immigrants in Ohio stealing and eating people’s pets.

Often with ridiculousness like this, it is propagated by online trolls and foreign governments hoping to interfere with the election on Trump’s behalf. That may also be true in this case. However, these sickly and racist allegations are most prominently being pushed by the biggest wigs of the Republican Party, including Trump’s VP running mate JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Elon Musk, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Mike Collins, and of course, Catturd. [Note: late additions include Sen. Ted Cruz and Don Trump. Jr.]

Needless to say, none of it is true. The Springfield News-Sun investigated the matter and reported that “The Springfield Police Division said Monday morning they have received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten.”

Apparently checking with the local police department was too much trouble for the GOP “leaders” who want the American people to trust them with the future of the country. What does that tell us about everything the GOP investigates, including their probes of President Biden, and Hunter Biden, and VP Kamala Harris, and Gov. Tim Walz, etc. ad infinitum.

Republicans even set up a House Committee on the Weaponization of Government. Which surprisingly, was not a committee to investigate such matters, but to actually initiate and engage in them. And they exploited their power as the majority party in the House to launch political attacks, wasting untold hours, and millions of dollars, to achieve nothing at all. Well, except a shipload of bad publicity for themselves and their bogus probes.

MOPRE HERE: Weaponizing Congress? GOP Hack Comer Launches Phony Probes Into Both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Ironically, the only validated instances of bizarre animalistic dining has come from the Republican camp. It was RFK, Jr who admitted that he had an appetite for a dead bear cub that he found on the highway. And he decapitated a beached whale, and tied the head to the roof of his car, for purposes that we can only imagine.

Now, after JD Vance’s humiliating assault on “childless cat ladies” backfired so horribly on him, the GOP is backing off their efforts to malign cats and switching to protecting them from imaginary immigrant diners. And these are the wackos that seek to control government and make decisions for the American people. They can’t even decide what’s for dinner in a way the remotely resembles normal human behavior.

Trump is Right! ‘We Don’t Need a President Who Isn’t Smart Enough to Answer Reporters’ Questions’

Posted by on September 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm. NO Comments :

Anyone who has been paying attention to Donald Trump for the last few years knows that he is in perpetual state of outrage. If he isn’t complaining about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged and stolen” from him, he’s whining about being the victim of a massive cabal to hold him accountable for the crimes that he has actually committed.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump

To be sure, there are a multitude of other grievances that he grumbles about incessantly. Too many, in fact, to itemize. And all of them are based on delusions that emanate from his deeply disturbed and profoundly paranoid psyche. His bottomless reservoir of wrath is manifested in his daily – even hourly – hysterics over whatever perceived atrocity has befallen him at that moment in time. And his tantrums unfurl despite the harm they do to his own interests.

SEE THIS: SMART POLITICS? As Election Day Nears Trump Reminds America of His Sexual Assault Judgment

On Sunday morning Trump unleashed another rage-filled rant on his failing social media scam, Truth Social. And true to form, it embodied the unbridled fury of a severely dysfunctional psychotic. In a tedious recital of his paranoid symptoms, Trump babbled in part that…

“Comrade Kamala Harris ‘is completely hiding from the press.’ […] The last thing we need for our Nation in Decline is another President who is not smart enough to answer reporters questions. We just went through that, and we don’t want to do it again!”

First of all, Trump’s charge that Kamala Harris is “completely hiding from the press” is a bald-faced lie. She just had a nationally televised interview with CNN’s Dana Bash. And she frequently takes questions from reporters informally at campaign stops. That said, she has no obligation to fulfill some arbitrary quota for press avails. Especially when the press is so blatantly hostile to her, while simultaneously “sane-washing” Trump’s obviously incoherent public ramblings.

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

However, Trump should get credit when credit is due. And his assessment of the importance of having a president who is “smart enough to answer reporters questions” could not be more relevant as this campaign season progresses.

In that regard, Harris has proven to be extraordinarily well informed and insightful when being asked candidly for her opinions. Trump, on the other hand, has shown himself to be astonishingly ignorant and unconcerned with those pesky little things we all know as facts.

Trump may answer reporters’ questions from time to time, but only those “reporters” who are unambiguously Trump-fluffing sycophants, like those on Fox News. He will never sit down with a legitimate journalist who could challenge his free-flowing torrent of lies. And even when he does reply to his pre-approved MAGA hacks, his answers are devoid of any relationship with reality. For instance, Trump has recently been asked questions for which he offered mostly indecipherable replies that did nothing but affirm his ignorance on the subjects queried…

  • Child Care: That he said could be paid for by tariffs.
  • Tariffs: That he said are paid by the countries on whom they are imposed.
  • Immigration: That he said is increasing and filled with criminals and mental patients.
  • Election Fraud: That he is still claiming occurred in 2020.
  • The Economy: That he said is crashing.
  • Abortion: That he says occurs even after a baby is born.

On every single one of those matters Trump is wrong on (in his lingo) “levels never seen before.” With this degree of dishonesty and/or stupidity, it makes the question of whether or not to answer reporters’ questions irrelevant. Why bother if he’s going to be spewing such flaming falsehoods without any pushback by the reporters?

So Trump is right. America doesn’t need a president who isn’t smart enough to answer reporters’ questions. Therefore, America doesn’t need Trump. It needs Kamala Harris, who has demonstrated that she has the intellect and the compassion to lead the nation and to eloquently articulate how she plans to move the country forward. If Trump really believed what he is saying about this, he would drop out of the race today. But he isn’t even smart enough to do that.

Trump Praises Pitiful ‘MAGA People Outside Screaming’ at Kamala Harris as She Preps for Debate

Posted by on September 7, 2024 at 1:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The first – and perhaps only – debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump is just a few days away. Harris is spending part of that time preparing for the encounter, like any rational person who cares about being ready to present a thoughtful and informed account of herself, and to refute the flood of falsehoods that will flow from her pathological opponent.

Click here to Tweet this article

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

Meanwhile, Trump is bragging that he doesn’t have to prepare for the debate because he’s a “stable genius” whose command of the issues is so thorough that he can deliver his message on the fly. And a good example of that skill was provided by Trump when he was recently asked about his plans for making child care more affordable…

SEE THIS: HOLY CR&P: Trump’s Rambling, Incoherent Plan to Make Child Care Affordable is Utterly Deranged

On Friday Trump proudly accepted the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, an allegedly pro-law and order organization that has no problem supporting a felon who incited a violent insurrection and now wants to pardon the thugs who assaulted police officers. Among the tsunami of stupidity in Trump’s speech that is the hallmark of his commentaries, was a bit that sought to provide his profoundly weird observations on Harris’ debate prep. He babbled that…

“She’s in Pennsylvania and she’s practicing for the debate. She’s locked herself in a room — she’s got a lot to learn…. and they have one problem. You know what the problem is? They have MAGA people outside screaming “We love Trump!”… and they can’t focus.”

Yeah. That’s probably exactly what was happening. Oh wait… There’s actually video of this intolerable distraction that is making it impossible for Harris to prepare for her face-off with Trump. And it shows a frightful “mob” of nearly ten MAGA-nauts (or in Trump’s mind, 10,000) impotently chanting “Let’s go Trump.” Harris and her campaign staff were surely cowering in their hotel room where they likely couldn’t even hear these goofballs.

And if that weren’t enough, Trump posted a comment on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Saturday morning about the upcoming debate that addressed a pressing issue that all of America is worrying about. It has nothing to do with the topics to be discussed, or the alleged biases of the moderators, or the controversy over muting the microphones (a provision that Trump’s nannies pushed for because they’re afraid of what humiliating things he will say). Nope. What Trump is afraid of is that Harris might use artificial means (i.e. boxes) to make her look taller than him. No, REALLY!

If Trump is so adamant about the candidates presenting themselves honestly – “You are who you are” – then maybe they should also ban orange bronzers, girdles, shoe lifts, and hair weaves. Aren’t they all also “a form of cheating”?

If Trump is successful in obstructing these attempts to cheat, and disrupting Harris’ preparations with howling cultists, he’s convinced that he will virtually guarantee a victory next Tuesday when the two meet for the actual debate. Never mind that he won’t be able to engage in a substantive discourse on any subject, or that he will unleash a flurry of lies and insults, rather than offering any facts or policy proposals. Why should this debate be any different for Trump than any other affair where he rants and rages incoherently?

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

Posted by on September 3, 2024 at 1:35 pm. 1 Comments :

It may be time to throw a Pity Party for the fatuous, fumbling, and forlorn folks at Fox News. Their wretched and woeful efforts to malign Vice-President Kamala Harris have become a pathetic joke whose punch line is more of gut punch to the Trump-fluffing “news” network.

Click here to Tweet this article

Fox News, Kamala Harris

As Harris continues her surprisingly successful sprint to the finish line in the 2024 election, her enemies at Fox News and other MAGA media outlets are frantically fishing for anything that might slow her momentum. And so far they are only reeling in anemic strands of kelp. And they have to strain mightily for that.

SEE THIS: Fox News is Promising to Finally ‘Get the Truth About Obama’s Birth Certificate’ – No, REALLY!

The desperation at Fox News is evident in the far-fetched fantasies that they are inventing to disparage Harris. They have already tried to malign her for not having interviews with the mainstream press that has worked so diligently to artificially inflate the criticisms of her Republican foes, while dismissing the deplorable comments and flagrant lies of Donald Trump.

Naturally, Fox News is at the front of the line to launch hostile and vacant attacks on Harris. And on Tuesday morning they provided an outstanding example of their info-excrement. Fox News host Todd Piro introduced a segment with video of Harris ascending the stairs of her campaign plane. The theme of this segment was that Harris was attempting to avoid questions from press. But Piro and his guest, right-wing hack Kaylee McGee White, just made up what they regarded as the key evidence of their allegation.

Piro: Kamala Harris is now being called out for a new tactic of avoiding questions from reporters by wearing ear buds, the move sparking outrage on social media.
White: My favorite part about this was when she has the wired earphones in and at one point when she was walking up the stairs to the plane she holds her phone up to her ear as if she was taking a phone call when it was very clear that she already had ear buds in. The whole thing doesn’t make sense.

To be clear, those who Piro says “called out,” Harris and drew “outrage on social media,” is actually just Fox News themselves, and the random wingnuts they find on Twitter. They’re using their own lying flunkies to prove their lies. But the video of Harris boarding the plane shows something completely different than what they are alleging. Here is the clip provided by frequent Fox guest Monica Crowley…

Near the end of this video you can see Harris raise her hand to her head. But she is not putting the phone to her ear. The phone is clearly resting on her cheek. It is her finger that is on her ear, so as to better hear what is in her ear buds. In other words, the Foxies are asking their viewers to disbelieve what they can see with their own eyes, and instead believe their obviously phony voiceovers.

What’s more, some of the online critics complained that Harris was using wired ear buds at all. They accused her of being out of touch with modern technology. However, the truth is that they are out of touch with modern communications security. Government officials are directed to use wired headsets because the wireless Bluetooth ones are vulnerable to hackers who could intercept and eavesdrop on their calls.

The reason that Fox News is focusing on nonsense like this is that they can’t find anything substantive to criticize Harris for. Which is also the reason that Harris is gaining in popularity and rising in the polls. Which is driving Fox News and Trump crazy – or crazier, as the case may be. And as election day approaches we can expect them to get worse. Much worse. So make sure to have plenty of popcorn – and Tylenol – on hand.

Trump’s Rancid Labor Day Message is a Typically Angry Political Rant that is Focused on Himself

Posted by on September 2, 2024 at 12:27 pm. NO Comments :

Holidays in America are generally occasions when people can find harmony and common purpose in tribute to whatever particular event the day is commemorating. There is a fulfilling pride and/or joy that is shared regardless of political or spiritual affiliation. We have usually found a way to come together in observance of a greater good.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

Sadly, some of that camaraderie has been lost in the wake of Donald Trump’s doctrine of division and discord. From the start of his political endeavors he has sought to drive people apart by inflaming differences in race and class and any other ideological factor he could think of to exploit. Case in point, Trump’s heartwarming tidings to his cult disciples last Easter…

SEE THIS: Trump Sends His Easter Greetings to ‘Those Many People that I Completely and Totally Despise’

Anyone who expected Trump to be any different on this Labor Day has not been paying attention. They are oblivious to his trademarked emotional brand of revenge and retribution. It’s what drove him to post the following comment on his pitifully failing website, Truth Social…

“Happy Labor Day to all of our American Workers who represent the Shining Example of Hard Work and Ingenuity. Under Comrade Kamala Harris, all Americans are suffering during this Holiday weekend – High Gas Prices, Transportation Costs are up, and Grocery Prices are through the roof. We can’t keep living under this weak and failed ‘Leadership’.….”

Notice that Trump’s message is a purely political outpouring of his hostility and his dystopian view of where America stands today. He is engaging in blatant fear mongering to incite the inbred rage of his glassy-eyed followers. And it contains only a token reference to the workers for whom this day is reserved for appreciation.

But Trump wasn’t finished. He posted a second comment that was rife with lies about the benefits for workers that he said he achieved during his occupation of the White House. The truth, however, is that Trump’s administration was the first in modern times to end with fewer people working than when it started. Many plants and factories closed or moved off-shore. He opposes raising the minimum wage – or having a minimum wage, period. He implemented legislative and regulatory assaults on union members and their rights to organize against the greedy corporate barons who Trump embraces as his friends.

For contrast, take look at the message delivered by Vice-President Kamala Harris. And notice that it is focused on the welfare of workers, their contribution to the nation, and her devotion to their interests.

Harris has fought for workers for her whole career in public service, as a prosecutor, a senator, and in the White House. She is committed to advancing worker rights via unions and the practice of collective bargaining. And she respects Labor Day as a tribute to the people who really drive the economy and create jobs. And if you still wonder which side Trump is on, here he is telling you in his own words…

Trump Attacks Tim Walz with Story of His Pro-Trump Brother, Ignores His Own Anti-Trump Family

Posted by on September 1, 2024 at 1:40 pm. NO Comments :

The Kamala Harris campaign for president has been going remarkably well, particularly given the unusually short time frame and unique circumstances that thrust her into the race. In just over a month she has raised a record amount of donations, signed up hundreds of thousands of volunteers, and presided over a successful Democratic convention. All of which has led to a surging rise in the polls, and a simultaneous sinking for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump

Harris has been making all the right decisions in her orchestration of the campaign. And among those was her choice of the vice-presidential candidate to accompany her on the Democratic ticket. Tim Walz has proven to be an extraordinary asset whose experience and authenticity have endeared him to the American people. Which, of course, triggered a knee-jerk inquisition by MAGA Republicans in Congress.

SEE THIS: Weaponizing Congress? GOP Hack Comer Launches Phony Probes Into Both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Not to be left out, Trump himself has been busy defaming Walz. As is his psychotic pattern, he has called him childish names and spewed a litany of licentious lies. For example, Trump posted a comment on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, that he likely believed would land a knockout blow to Walz. It consisted of a picture of the cover of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post with the headline “OH, BROTHER! The stories I could tell. Sibling warns: Tim Walz should not decide America’s future.”

Trump added his own commentary saying that Walz “Sounds like a really great guy!” However, for some reason Trump neglected to mention that his late sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, was not exactly proud her little brother. In fact, she is on the record harshly chastising him in recordings by Trump’s niece, Mary Trump. As CNN reported in August of 2020…

“Maryanne Trump Barry bitterly criticized her brother, President Donald Trump, saying, ‘Donald’s out for Donald,’ and appeared to confirm her niece Mary Trump’s previous allegations that he had a friend take his SATs to get into college, according to audio excerpts obtained by CNN.” […]

“Among the some of the more critical comments made by Barry was commenting on how her younger 74-year-old brother operated as president. ‘His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,’ she said, according to the recording. ‘I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.'” […]

“Barry also said at one point to her niece, ‘It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel,’ according to the audio scripts and recordings.”

Who cares that Gov. Walz has a brother with whom he has partisan ideological differences? Every family in America probably has a sibling, or uncle, or third cousin twice-removed, who is an insufferable political contrarian. It might even make Walz more relatable to many voters with similarly severed families.

Furthermore, the difference between Walz and his brother, and Trump and his sister, are noteworthy. Walz’ brother is a Republican who has clashes with his Democratic brother on purely partisan grounds. But Trump’s sister is also a Republican whose animus is much deeper and more personal. She is repulsed by Trump’s rancid character and his absence of morality and ethics.

UPDATE: Trump also hyped some members of Walz’s family who are at best distant cousins in Nebraska who have never met him…

This is more residue from the toxic stain that is Donald Trump, whose noxious cult appeal has driven a wedge between previously cordial family members. And while it doesn’t have any effect whatsoever on Walz’s ability to serve, it does illustrate how devoid of any substantive criticisms the GOP is. This is the best they can do?

Trump was not only despised by some members of his family, but the people who worked most closely with him in his administration have abandoned him. Of 44 cabinet and other top level staffers, only four have publicly endorsed him. Among those who do not appear to regard Trump as fit to serve are his vice-president Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly.

The Daily Show compiled a brutal – and hilarious – collection of Trump’s former staffers and their views of Trump. It is presented here for your edification and enjoyment…

Trump Incites an Attack on the Press at His Cult Rally, Then Celebrates that ‘He’s On Our Side’

There is a unique atmosphere that pervades the campaign rallies staged by Donald Trump. They reek more of conventions of brainwashed cult crackpots than anything resembling a political event. Trump mesmerizes his glassy-eyed audience of indoctrinated disciples with endlessly repetitive tirades filled with flagrant lies and messianic self-exaltations.

Trump Charlotsville

Among the standard features on Trump’s playlist are hostile harangues aimed at the media that he assails in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” His seething animosity toward the press is purposefully included in every speech in order to keep his devotees in a constant state of outrage at what he tells them are “fake” and/or “corrupt” reporters who mean to do him harm. Although he does have his exceptions…

On Friday Trump spoke at another one of his traveling salvation shows. It was typical in most respects with warmed over talking points and pre-chewed propaganda. But there was an episode that erupted that deserves special attention. Not because it was unusual or unpredictable, but because, in fact, it was neither. As reported by the Associated Press…

“A man at Donald Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, stormed into the press area as the former president spoke and was surrounded by police and sheriff’s deputies before eventually being subdued with a Taser. The incident Friday came moments after Trump had criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN as fawning for its interview Thursday with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.”

[NOTE: The AP article was edited after this post was published. It added that “It was not immediately clear what motivated the man or whether he was a Trump supporter or critic.” And it included a reply from the Trump campaign saying that the campaign “tried to distance the former president from the man and his actions, suggesting he was a Trump opponent.” This article has been edited to reflect this new info.]

There is still more to learn about what happened at the rally. But what is known is that Trump has a deep hatred for the press and that he spreads that to his followers. Trump’s deliberately provocative rhetoric has incited violence on other occasions. Most notably the deadly insurrection and attempted coup at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

While the actual motive is still unclear, it is interesting that the alleged attack took place as Trump was lambasting the media for what he believes is biased coverage. Which by his definition is any coverage that isn’t unflinchingly adoring of him and grossly derisive of his foes. Trump believes that the press should model their reporting after his own analyses of political news. Such as his coverage of the Kamala Harris interview on CNN, that Trump deemed “BORING!!!”…

Also notable was what was going on as the alleged attack on the media was in progress. Trump interrupted his speech to draw attention to the alleged assault. But he wasn’t disturbed by the apparent violence or concerned about the possible victims. Nope. He literally celebrated the disturbance saying “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?” And he appeared to stand up for the perpetrator by informing the bloodthirsty crowd that “That’s Okay. No, he’s on our side.” Why he thought that is unexplained.

So there you have it. Even if this cretin wasn’t a Trump supporter, Trump seems to be cool with thugs threatening the press, as long as they are his thugs. He is fine with intimidating the media as a means of physically enforced censorship. And his flock of feebles will fall in line, as good cult members do.

Regardless of what motivated the alleged attacker, Trump’s apparent support could embolden others to commit similar crimes. And it is likely to be repeated in November after Trump loses the election. Hopefully law enforcement will be prepared to respond appropriately should that occur. And if it does, the leader must held responsible along with his goon squads.

Trump Thanks White Nationalist as a ‘Great Journalist’ for His Sexist Attack on Kamala Harris

Posted by on August 30, 2024 at 1:45 pm. 7 Comments :

After whining for weeks that Kamala Harris had not subjected herself to a media inquisition since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Trump and his MAGA minions are still unsatisfied following her interview with CNN’s Dana Bash. However, what is probably most disappointing for them is that she conducted herself admirably, showing intellect and compassion.

Donald Trump, MAGA

Of course the Trump cult didn’t like it. There was none of the bile and bombast that Trump is famous for. She didn’t spew any inflammatory lies, infantile insults, hostile attacks, or racist rants. And there was not even a mention of sharks, windmill cancer, or Hannibal Lecter. It’s amazing that, without that psychotic rhetoric, she is still managing to beat Trump in most of the recent polls.

Consequently, Trump is resorting to reliance on some of his fringiest followers to float his political fortunes. He took to his failing Truth Social scam site to offer some praise to White nationalist rage-caster, Charlie Kirk, with a one line, unadorned, and mysterious post saying only “Thank you to great journalist, Charlie Kirk!’

It didn’t take long to discover why Trump was so pleased with Kirk’s alleged journalistic skills. Kirk had just posted a video of himself disparaging Harris in the most vile and misogynistic terms. And Trump’s accolades came less than twenty minutes later. Kirk was reacting to Harris’ interview in a predictably malicious manner. What follows are some choice excerpts from his overheated harangue (video below)…

  • “Kamala Harris says her values haven’t changed. So your Marxist values haven’t changed?”
    Kirk obediently adopts Trump’s lingo that has no basis in reality.
  • “Kamala Harris screams as somebody who has unaddressed, lingering father issues. By the way, you know her father does not like her and wasn’t even at the convention?”
    Harris’ parents divorced when she was seven and she was raised by her mother. Kirk fails to mention that Trump’s own wife is almost never with him (at rallies, or court, or dinners at Mar-a-Lago). Melania made a token appearance at the RNC at the very end, and she never addressed the convention or spoke to the press.
  • “She always needs to have a man around.”
    So Does Trump. But actually, Harris does almost all of her public appearances solo.
  • “Kamala Harris was attacked by her Jamaican father over her pot smoking joke.”
    So what? It’s not like Jamaicans aren’t known for their ganja habits. And this may be one of the reasons she didn’t invite him to the DNC.
  • “Kamala Harris is not confident in her own standing. She’s not confident in her own position because she didn’t earn it.”
    Where Kirk sees any lack of confidence is a mystery. And if being an elected District Attorney, Attorney General, and U.S. Senator, from the biggest state in the union, and the first woman Vice-President isn’t “earning it,” WTF is?
  • “She’s a radical, not confident in her beliefs, insecure, and a nervous wreck.”
    This sounds like a much better description of Donald Trump. Especially after finding out that he’s running against Kamala Harris.

For the record. Kirk has a long and well documented history as a right-wing extremist and White nationalist. Which makes him just the sort of cretin who would appeal to Trump. He holds extraordinarily repulsive views including the racist “White Replacement Theory” that posits that Democrats are trying to import foreigners in order to shift the balance of the electorate. What’s more…

That’s the guy that Trump just thanked for being a “great journalist.” Meanwhile, Trump says that actual journalists are “the enemy of the people,” and calls for their arrest and incarceration. And Trump is the guy that Republicans still support as their candidate for president. That should tell you something about what remains of the once “Grand Old Party,” and why no one should vote for any Republican.
