MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

Posted by on August 24, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-24T00:17:23.360Z

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

Ted Cruz Tries to Smear Democrats for the ‘Most Egregious Gerrymanders’ but Fails Egregiously

Posted by on August 21, 2025 at 2:28 pm. NO Comments :

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been engaged in a fierce battle with Republicans who are plotting to steal the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. The GOP is scheming to rig the elections by imposing an unprecedented and unconstitutional mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Donald Trump.

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

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

To counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off. In response to Newsom’s efforts, Republicans have tried to justify their election rigging by accusing Democrats of what the GOP is doing. It’s a wholly disingenuous argument coming from the people who started this redistricting war.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Among the Republicans who are trying to blame Democrats for the current political posturing is Texas senator Ted Cruz, who has made political posturing an art form. He posted a question on Twitter/X for Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, asking it to “Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders.” Grok replied that it was both parties with Democrats being three out of the five…

That response didn’t really affirm that Democrats were more nefarious gerrymanderers, as Cruz had hoped. But neither was it a vindication of either party. So it seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list beyond merely five states. And that produced a very different result…

The longer list shows that Republicans were the most egregious gerrymanderers in seven out of the top ten states. So Cruz was either deliberately distorting the results by limiting his question to five states, or he simply didn’t care to get a broader, more accurate view.

That’s typical of the modern, MAGA-infested Republican Party. They are purposefully seeking to deceive voters because they know that the truth will reflect badly on them. As Stephen Colbert once observed, “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

This was confirmed last night by Fox News hack Sean Hannity, who complained about Newsom “spen[ding] the last several weeks bashing president Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more.” Hannity pretended to be concerned about whether this was helping or hurting Democrats. He concluded that it was hurting Newsom, despite polls showing Newsom’s approval rating surging since he began his redistricting fight and his hilarious, all-caps mockery of Trump’s Truth Social posts.

For good measure, Hannity also offered up his opinion of Newsom’s recent, more aggressive politicking. He criticized Newsom saying that his “performative confrontational style—maybe it wins you points with the loony radical base in your party but America is not going to vote for that record.” Does that description sound like anyone else you know?

Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

Posted by on August 17, 2025 at 2:13 pm. NO Comments :

The dissembling of the U.S. Department of Justice under Donald Trump is proceeding apace as his disgraced and unqualified appointees conspire to abuse their power in order to take out Trump’s perceived enemies and shield him from any and all negative consequences of his own blatant criminality.

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

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

To be sure, much of their primary focus of late is concentrated on deflecting from their refusal to release the files that they control related to child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. They already tasked 1,000 FBI agents to search for and redact Trump’s name from those files. But apparently, that still isn’t enough to satisfy Trump that his unsavory relationship with the pair of perverts is sufficiently hidden.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

In a chilling escalation of the DoJ’s descent into Trump’s personal prosecutorial staff, Trump’s director of the DoJ’s aptly/ironically named “Weaponization Working Group,” Ed Martin, was dispatched to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to disseminate more of their flagrantly dishonest assaults on anyone who Trump has deemed disloyal. Martin – who was too much of a MAGA extremist to be confirmed as U.S. Attorney – was interviewed by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, and he delivered the following forthright threats aimed at the opponents of Dear Leader…

“We’re gonna go to the bottom of the facts, and if somebody did something wrong, we’re not only gonna hold them accountable, we’re also gonna look at everything else that they’ve been doing.

“Because when you’re a liar, you lie not just on one thing. When you’re a cheater, you cheat not just on one thing. When you’re doing corruption, you generally don’t just do it on one thing. So that’s what we’re asked to do as prosecutors. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Ed Martin: "Letitia James & Adam Schiff — both their lawyers have come out and talked publicly about the criminal referrals…we're gonna follow the facts…and if somebody did something wrong, we're not only gonna hold them accountable, we're also gonna look at everything else they've been doing"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:20:26.462Z

Martin is promising to expand the already meritless allegations against people like Letitia James and Adam Schiff, into investigations of “everything else” that he can twist into bogus accusations. In other words, witch hunts. Although his justification citing the tendencies of liars, and cheaters, and those who are corrupt, really fits Trump much better than any of those who Martin is targeting. But he was just getting started. The discussion continued with the following exchange…

Bartiromo: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?
Martin: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox, because there’s a lot to be asked about.
Bartiromo: And the pardons that were given out were done by an autopen. Are they legitimate?
Martin: I’m a pardon attorney, so I’m in that too. I can tell you we’re investigating how the pardons were granted. It was not like anything in the history of America. What Joe Biden – not Joe Biden – what his staffers did not just with the autopen, but with faking him out on the memos. More to come, Maria. I’m telling you, Pam Bondi has let us loose, and when this comes out it will take the whole of these people’s hoaxes down. And we’re doing it bit by bit, and it’s fantastic.”

BARTIROMO: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?ED MARTIN: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:25:46.591Z

First of all, there was no evidence destroyed by the January 6th Committee, and thus no criminality. And Martin’s reference to those who did not receive pardons as being vulnerable to prosecution is the sort of intimidation tactic employed by dictators like Vladimir Putin, who Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate.

Bartiromo then brings up the preposterous question of the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons. Of course, Martin embraces that nonsense and builds on it with his own allegations about some mysterious memos. Then he is downright giddy with glee over being “let loose” by Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and how “fantastic” it will be to take down these alleged hoaxes.

President Biden’s wisdom in issuing pardons for the January 6th Committee members is proven to be warranted by the partisan and abusive actions that Martin is taking now. And it is notable that neither Martin nor Bartiromo bother to mention the pardons issued by Trump for more than 1,500 violent insurrections, including those who assaulted police officers, that were also signed by an autopen.

The hypocrisy exhibited by these agents of authoritarianism is waist deep, at least. And their zeal to act on it by persecuting patriots who sought to preserve American democracy is despicable. Unfortunately, it is also expected of the goon squads that work for Trump. and the sooner we 8647, the better. [FYI: for all you soggy-brained numbskulls, 86 means to throw out]

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

Posted by on August 11, 2025 at 1:58 pm. 2 Comments :

Nothing triggers a cantankerous Donald Trump temper tantrum like somebody daring to deliver a well documented and deserved criticism of Dear Leader’s multitude of failures. There’s a lot of material to work with there, and many have taken the opportunity to knock Trump down a peg or twelve.

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

Jasmine Crockett on Fox News

The fragility of Trump’s massively inflated ego makes it an easy target. And he doesn’t help himself by constantly providing ammunition for his critics with comments and behavior that reek of ignorance and incoherence. He is bottomless pit of humiliating and infantile impudence.

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

Trump is especially vulnerable to criticism from women, who he regards as objects for him to abuse, demean, and dominate. He has bragged that his celebrity allows him to “grab them by the pussy.” Which is behavior that he has acted upon, resulting in a civil lawsuit that cost him almost $90 million.

Politically, Trump frequently narrows his disrespect for women to specifically Black women. And on Monday morning he offered an example of his animus toward women of color who fail to subjugate themselves to him. While in the midst of his morning routine of watching Fox News, he saw Rep. Jasmine Crockett being smeared by the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. That segment aired at about 6:45, and by 7:30 Trump was lashing out on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He posted a comment dripping with hatred and fear that said…

“‘Congresswoman’ Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons – Only slightly dumber. Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a Cognitive Exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my ‘physical’ at our GREAT Washington, D.C., Military Hospital (WR!). As the doctors said, ‘President Trump ACED it, something that is rarely seen!’ These Radical Left Lunatics would all fail this test in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence. TAKE THE TEST!!!”

Trump was up early watching Fox News (of course). So he rage-posted a typically racist (and deranged) response to a segment on Fox and Friends that bashed Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-11T18:45:31.367Z

Trump’s insult of Crockett’s intelligence is nothing new. It is a regular line pulled from his tiny collection of rhetorical rants. He uses it mostly against women of color, including Kamala, Harris, Maxine Waters, and what he refers to as “AOC Plus Three.” By which he means representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. All women of color. Although, to be fair, Trump has occasionally used the same epithet on Black men, For instance…

SEE ALSO: Trump Calls Charlamagne Tha God a ‘Low IQ’ ‘Racist Sleazebag’ During Lara Trump’s Fox News Show

Furthermore, Trump is also rehashing his preposterous claims of intellectual prowess proven by his having taken a simple cognitive test that is intended only to detect early signs of dementia, and is not a measure of intelligence. Nevertheless, he proposes that his foes “should be forced” to take the test that presents such challenges as identifying a picture of a camel, and drawing a clock. Trump is exceedingly proud of having “aced” that test and claims that doing so “is rarely seen.” Those comments alone would earn him a failing grade on the very same test.

What Trump is riled up about is the fact that Crockett, a lawyer and legal scholar, is actually a far more intelligent person than he is, and deep down inside he knows it. What’s more, she has the audacity to call out his lies with the evidence to back up her assertions, and the talent to rip apart egomaniacal snowflakes like Trump. Take for instance her recent comments at a rally supporting the Texas Democrats who are obstructing the state’s efforts to rig the next election…

“We have a Temu Hitler in the White House right now that thinks that he is going to become the dictator of the United States. Well, I’ve got another thing to tell you.”

Trump’s Truth Social AI ChatBot Relies Almost Entirely on Fox News and Other Trump-Fluffing Media

Posted by on August 9, 2025 at 12:45 pm. NO Comments :

It will not come as a surprise to most conscious consumers of the news that Donald Trump is an unrepentant pathological liar. His history of propagating flagrant falsehoods in order to advance his own personal interests is impossible to dismiss. Unless, of course, you are an indoctrinated member of the Cult of Trump and blindly believe whatever he says.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Following Trump’s first occupation of the White House, the Washington Post (pre-Bezos) published an opus of his obfuscations that totaled more than 30,000 lies in four years. And he has done a pretty darn good job of expanding that collection in the six short months of his re-occupation. In fact, he has broadened his repertoire from common lies to abject insanity.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

In keeping with Trump’s affinity for falsehoods, his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, has adopted a unique method of spreading around the manure of his mendacious mind. The social media sham is pretending to host an Artificial Intelligence tool that is just as deceitful as its boss. As reported by Wired…

“Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group launched the chatbot, called ‘Truth Search AI,’ on Wednesday. The bot is powered by Perplexity AI […]

“In 2024, WIRED published an article detailing how Perplexity had been scraping parts of websites that developers did not want it to access, in violation of the widely accepted web standard known as the Robots Exclusion Protocol. It was also prone to making stuff up, a WIRED analysis showed.”

In other words, it was the perfect model for Trump’s version of AI. Wired conducted tests that revealed just how narrowly defined the Truth Social AI is. Answering a question about “bias in the media system” it advised to “Diversify your sources.” But then cited the five sources for that response, “four of which are Fox News articles.” That constitutes diversity in Trump World, Additionally, Wired found that…

“[T]he chatbot highlighted only seven sources in total in response to my queries—Fox News, Fox Business, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsmax, and JustTheNews.com. This was true even for innocuous, nonpolitical questions. When I ask the bot ‘What is 30 times 30?'”

So that’s where Trump gets his mathematical data to support his ludicrous claims that he has cut drug prices by 1,500%. A Perplexity representative explained that their clients can filter the domains that they want the ChatBot to use. Apparently Truth Social has taken advantage of that feature and excluded everything except the rabidly partisan sources noted above. The only moderately accurate responses came from Associated Press content that Fox News republished on their own site.

In a particularly jarring example from Wired’s analysis, the Truth Social ChatBot failed to correctly describe Trump’s long and well documented relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. According to Wired, the Bot “describes the connection as ‘tenuous,’ and says there is ‘no credible evidence in the search results'” Yeah, right. And Trump freed the slaves while leading the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy.

UPDATE: The Washington Post also tested the Truth Social AI and found that it would sometimes produce accurate answers that contradicted some of Trump’s most blatant lies. For instance…

“Truth Search AI contradicts the president by saying that tariffs are a tax on Americans, the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and his family’s cryptocurrency investments pose a potential conflict of interest. Asked about Jan. 6, 2021, it said the ‘insurrection’ at the U.S. Capitol was violent and linked to Trump’s ‘baseless claims of widespread election fraud.’ […] When asked if crime in Washington is ‘totally out of control,’ as Trump posted there last week, Truth Search AI said it wasn’t and noted that the FBI and Justice Department had reported ‘substantial declines in violent crime’ through 2024.”

At least now we know the degree of “truth” that we can expect from Truth Social. Not that any further evidence of its dishonesty was needed. But this is the sort of documentary proof of their unambiguous intention to deceive. It’s not accidental. And anyone who uses the site for information is just asking to be lied to. So the MAGA minions will love it.

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump’s Intel Boss Can’t Cite Any Evidence Tying Obama to Her Phony ‘Russia Hoax’ on Fox News

Posted by on August 6, 2025 at 1:52 pm. NO Comments :

The past few weeks have seen Donald Trump and his Garrulous Gaslight Gang scampering frantically to shift America’s attention from his abhorrent and aberrant relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to anything else. They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this mission of mercenary misinformation and malice.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

The panic sweat is dripping from the brows of the Trump flunkies as they try to peddle their all too obvious distractions. They run the gamut from trivialities like the wholly concocted controversies about the jeans of Sydney Sweeney, to the inflation inducing Trump taxes (aka tariffs), to more disturbing and utterly bogus allegations of treason by President Obama and others.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

What the Trump regime operatives are calling the “Russia Hoax” has taken center stage, as they flock to Fox News every day to spread their blatant nonsense. And leading the charge is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and bona fide Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard. On Tuesday night Gabbard visited with Fox News Trump-fluffer, Laura Ingraham, who asked a surprisingly relevant question. But predictably, she didn’t get anything resembling a coherent answer…

Ingraham: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia Hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence for our viewers tonight?
Gabbard: Laura, you know, as you were playing those clips of these people like Morning Joe [Scarborough] seemingly befuddled, saying that by no account is any of this true. I would challenge them to see if they’ve actually read the documents, every single page of the documents that we’ve released over the last couple of weeks.

Whereupon, Gabbard invited the Fox News viewers to read a bunch of garbage that she posted online. As if they would – or can – read. But she didn’t bother to provide any of the allegedly “irrefutable evidence” that Ingraham asked for. All of the information that she has presented previously – online or on the air – has been entirely devoid of any factual basis.

Nevertheless, Gabbard went on to tell Ingraham that the online docs would reveal “how President Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called to talk about Russia.” She claimed that Obama tasked his Intel staff to alter the substance of their reporting on Russia’s well documented interference in the 2016 presidential election. Then she continued, brazenly lying that…

“Per the president’s direction, per the president’s order, and very specifically, they were tasked to create an intelligence assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how. And this was the beginning of this manufactured intelligence assessment where they knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.”

To reiterate, Gabbard has still not fulfilled Ingraham’s request for some actual evidence. But now she is asserting, without any proof, that Obama and his staff altered and released falsified data. Not only was the data not false, it was corroborated by the Senate Intelligence Committee five years ago when it was chaired by Republicans, including Trump’s current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

Even Gabbard’s own comments suggest that the Obama did nothing wrong. She notes that Obama asked that the reports include how “Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how.” She’s implying that there is something untoward about that. But it’s only because the “if” was not in doubt. Russia definitely tried to influence the election. Obama wanted to make sure that their methods (the “how”) were also included in the report. That’s real honesty and transparency.

For his part, Trump helped to keep all of this in the news with a new comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In what appears to be his transcript of what Gabbard said on Fox News, Trump wrote that…

“Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called… They were tasked to create an Intelligence Assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election—not ‘if’—but ‘how’… They knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.'”

If nothing else, we have additional confirmation that Trump spends an inordinate amount of his time watching his minions talk about him on Fox News. However, the truly troubling aspects of this go much deeper. Just in the past week we have seen the weaponizing of the law by Trump’s Justice Department and his MAGA contingent in Congress.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi has launched “a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election.” And GOP Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has issued subpoenas for depositions from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

So Bondi and Comer are joining Gabbard in the quest for evidence-free persecution of Democrats and other critics of Dear Leader Trump. None of them actually present any of their imaginary evidence. But they bellow about it publicly in an attempt to get their cult followers and the media to pay attention to their fabrications. And of course, to draw attention away from Epstein and Maxwell and Trump.

The good news is that it isn’t working. The American people – including many Trump supporters – still want the truth to be revealed. They aren’t buying the misdirection tactics. And the pathetic and desperate determination of the Trumpists just makes them look all the more ridiculous.

Trump Calls Charlamagne Tha God a ‘Low IQ’ ‘Racist Sleazebag’ During Lara Trump’s Fox News Show

Posted by on August 3, 2025 at 12:23 pm. NO Comments :

The fragility of Donald Trump’s massive and unbridled ego creates a startling abundance of episodes wherein he displays his most infantile behavioral defects. He simply cannot abide even the most delicate criticism or any departure from unvarnished, slobbering adoration. The result is often hysterical meltdowns that say so much more about Trump than whatever he is babbling about.

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

Trump’s malignant narcissism drives pretty much every action he takes, whether personal or political. He lashes out petulantly at his perceived enemies with the vile determination of an eight year old bully trying to domineer his six year old victims. And it is all the more pathetic considering that his attacks are futile and lathered in lame.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Trump was awake and fuming over what he witnessed on the latest episode of his daughter-in-law’s Fox News program, “My View with Lara Trump.” Ordinarily she books confirmed members of the Cult of Trump, such as Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Byron Donalds, Susan Wiles, and of course Papa Don. But on this occasion Lara must have disappointed her Crybaby-in-Law by inviting Charlamagne Tha God on for an interview. And he let it be known in a post on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Lara began the discussion predictably by taking swipes at The View and Stephen Colbert, whom he takes credit for getting canceled. Lara continued saying that “When you build your entire show around sneering at half the country,” she whined, “audiences eventually tune out.” Does she even listen to herself? What does she think Fox News does all day, every day, sneering at far more than half the country?

Lara followed that up by complimenting Charlamagne for his willingness to entertain diverse viewpoints. Something that Papa Trump would surely frown upon. In fact, the entire interview was pretty tame and surprisingly friendly. However, there were just enough mildly critical remarks to trigger a Trump tantrum. For instance, Charlamagne said that…

“I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do, I think they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn’t letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take the party back and not piss off the MAGA base.”

This was all it took to set Trump off. Trump was surely upset with the reference to his pedophile pal, Jeffrey Epstein. In his response he revealed just how butthurt he was because Charlamagne made a few comments that weren’t unflinchingly worshipful. Trump posted that…

“The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne ‘The God’ (Why is he allowed to use the word ‘GOD’ when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done.”

Then Trump rattled off a long list of alleged “accomplishments” that exist only in his overactive imagination, including ending several wars, closing the border, and bringing down inflation and consumer prices. And naturally, he wraps up with gratuitous and vindictive insults aimed at President Biden and Kamala Harris…

“…where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER. But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala?”

First of all, it’s Charlamagne “THA” God. Secondly, mentally failing Trump doesn’t finish his thought on where Lara “put” Charlamagne. Third, Lara’s ratings merely reflect the average that Fox News brings in on a Saturday night. Fourth, he frequently refers to himself in messianic terms.

However, the most disturbing part of that harangue was Trump’s blatantly racist and demeaning assertions that Charlamagne is a “low IQ” “racist sleazebag.” It’s hard to discern from Charlamagne’s remarks why Trump thinks that he’s a racist. Except that Trump regularly calls Black people racists just because they’re Black.

What’s more, Trump’s insult that Charlamagne has a “low IQ” is one that he commonly aims at Blacks, including Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc. In Trump’s mind if you are a liberal and Black you are automatically a low IQ racist.

During the interview Charlamagne also said that he would like to see Jon Stewart run for president in 2028. Which makes this a good time to remember his segment on the Daily Show when he checked off the Mayo Clinic’s list dementia symptoms that Trump is suffering from.

UPDATE: Charlamagne has responded to what Trump said about him.

Trump’s Team Asks to Depose Rupert Murdoch Soon Because They’re Afraid He’ll Die Before Trial

Posted by on July 28, 2025 at 2:20 pm. NO Comments :

The most litigious president in American history, Donald Trump, is at it again. His most recent lawsuit is a doozy that is aimed at his longtime propaganda purveyor, Rupert Murdoch, owner of the notoriously conservative Wall Street Journal, the ultra-rightist New York Post, and of course, the relentlessly Trump-fluffing Fox News.

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

Rupert Murdoch Donald Trump

Trump’s case against the Wall Street Journal is centered on his assertion of defamation when they published a story about a birthday greeting that Trump is said to have sent to his friend, and convicted child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump claims that the story is, of course, “fake news,” and he is seeking $10 billion in damages. And in the meantime, the Snowflake-in-Chief has banned the Journal from covering his press conferences.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Kicks the Wall Street Journal Out of the Press Pool for His Next Junket Overseas

A new wrinkle in this case is a motion that Trump’s attorneys have filed seeking to expedite the deposition of Murdoch. The reason they give is a particularly morbid one. As reported by Deadline…

“Trump’s legal team is seeking Murdoch’s deposition because of his age, 94, citing that he ‘has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares.'”

So Team Trump is asking the court to hurry up and approve their deposition before the “Dirty Digger” (as Murdoch is known) is dug six feet under. Trump’s vultures just can’t wait to put the screws to the sickly old media baron who they imply is on his last legs. That should be a fun interrogation for them, with Murdoch’s nurses in attendance.

What they aren’t mentioning is that the attorneys for Murdoch and the Journal are also going to have opportunities to depose Trump about his unsavory relationship with Epstein, with whom he was friends for 15 years. And as part of the discovery process, they will subpoena evidence and documents, including emails, texts, surveillance videos, phone calls, bank records, etc.

What’s more, Trump is mouthing off about his engagement with Epstein to reporters when he is supposed to be conducting diplomatic business. And as usual, due to his innate idiocy, he is doing himself more harm than good. During a press avail with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump drifted off into the Epstein affair and why he hasn’t released the files as he promised…

“I haven’t been overly interested in it. It’s a hoax that’s been built up way beyond proportion. I can say this: Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually run the government, including the autopen. Those files were run for four years by those people.

“If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax. They ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files. If they had something they would have released. Now, they can easily put something in the files that’s a phony […] But those files were run by bad, sick people. If they had anything why didn’t they use it when I was killing Joe.”

This is pretty good proof that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files, and he knows it. That's why he continues to refuse to release them.This is also cover for when they get released, he will just lie that they were altered.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-28T19:05:20.697Z

WOW! That’s some world-class derangement on display. To begin with, it’s preposterous for Trump to say that he hasn’t been interested in the Epstein matter. It’s virtually all he’s been interested in. He’s having his Justice Department investigate it, including interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, and providing her limited immunity to talk.

In addition, virtually everything else he talks about is a transparent deflection from the Epstein issue. Including a bizarre and totally fictional accusation that President Obama had committed treason for trying to change intelligence reports related to Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. And Trump regards President Biden and James Comey as “the worst scum on earth,” not pedophiles, or dictators, or drug cartels, or terrorists.

Furthermore, Trump is fabricating excuses about the files being altered. It’s a ridiculous excuse to suggest that Biden and his team went to that trouble and then never used the allegedly altered files against Trump. And if they were altered, he would have the evidence of it and could use it to prosecute Biden and company. You’d think he would be anxious to get that rolling.

Finally, when Trump claims that “If they had something they would have released it,” raises this obvious question: If there is nothing incriminating about Trump in the files, why wouldn’t he release them? An innocent man would want exculpatory documents to made public ASAP. Clearly Trump knows that these files would hurt him, so he must suppress them.

In the same press gaggle…

  • Trump said that he “turned down” the “privilege” of visiting Epstein Island. And, yes, he called it a privilege. Which suggests that he knew what was going on there, but never reported it to authorities. He allowed the girls to continue being victimized.
  • Trump kept open the prospect of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, but only after she testifies, and if she exonerates him.

All of this proves that Trump remains the single best source for incriminating evidence against himself. He can’t stop talking – and lying – about Epstein. And if the Wall Street Journal stands firm in defense of their reporting, Trump is going to have another load of legal liabilities dumped in his lap. Consequently, no one is more hopeful that the court allows the expedited deposition than Democrats, other Trump foes, and the popcorn lobby.

Pentagon IG: Pete Hegseth Disclosed Classified Info During His Signal Chat – Fox News Buries It

Posted by on July 25, 2025 at 1:24 pm. NO Comments :

The fate of the Defense Secretary that Donald Trump plucked from Fox News is becoming more untenable with every day that he is tainting that noble office. Pete Hegseth was never qualified to run a toy soldier parade, much less the largest bureaucracy in the United States government. And particularly one that bears such consequential burdens for national security.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Shortly after Hegseth was confirmed by a Republican Senate that is blindly compliant to Dear Leader Trump, Hegseth was caught engaging in a dialog with his defense and intelligence comrades using the Signal app, a commercial chat program that was not capable of maintaining secure communications. The chat included the Vice-President, JD Vance, the Director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, and others. During that meeting Hegseth revealed the specific plans for a military attack on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

SEE THIS: SIGNALGATE: How Fox News Fouled Up the War Planning Chat Scandal Was More Cover-Up than Coverage

Hegseth vehemently denied that any classified information was disclosed during the chat. And Trump dismissed the whole affair by pretending that he was blissfully ignorant (which is believable) saying that, “I know nothing about it. […] You’re telling me about it for the first time.”

However, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Hegseth, Trump, and everyone else involved have been lying. It is now being reported that the Pentagon Inspector General confirmed that the plans Hegseth blabbed came from a classified email that was, in fact, labeled “SECRET!” This alarming breach of security was even reported by Fox News…

“Multiple officials tell Fox News the Pentagon’s inspector general has received evidence that the U.S. military strike plans shared by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Signal derived from a classified email labeled ‘SECRET/NOFORN,’ which stands for no foreign nationals should see it. That was first reported by The Washington Post. Fox is also told the inspector general received the classified email with markings early in its investigation, which began in April.

“Secretary Hegseth’s team is responding. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell says in a statement to Fox, in part, ‘The Department stands behind its previous statements: no classified information was shared via Signal.'”

Fox News has **confirmed** reports from other outlets that the Pentagon’s watchdog has learned information in his Signal texts came from a classified email.This 40-second headline read is the entirety of the network's coverage of the story.

— Matthew Gertz (@mattgertz.bsky.social) 2025-07-25T15:39:05.223Z

So this dangerous misconduct by Hegseth was confirmed by the Inspector General of the Defense Department that he supposedly runs. And this revelation also confirms that Hegseth and his cohorts lied about it when originally asked to respond. All of that would be sufficient result in his resignation or termination under normal circumstances. Needless to say, normality is not something that is associated with the Trump administration.

What’s more, while it is notable that Fox News actually reported this scandal, no one should give them any credit for it. Because the brief mention above is the only one to date that Fox News has aired. Even though Trump’s Cabinet members, including Hegseth, are on Fox News more often than ads for Ozempic, none of them been asked to comment on this.

There are a lot of stories in this news cycle about Trump, including those about his relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein; his “Big Ugly Billionaire’s Budget Act” (BUBBA), that will throw millions of Americans off of their health insurance plans, fund ICE as the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, and explode the National debt; his recessionary, tariff-drive economic agenda; and his weaponization of the Justice Department that has accused President Obama of treason.

But no story exposes the potential for greater harm than the betrayal of America’s military and intelligence operations around the world. And if Hegseth (and Vance, Gabbard, Ratcliff, and Waltz) survives this ghastly behavior, than there is literally nothing that can be excluded from the atrocities that Trump might engage in.
