Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?

Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

Posted by on January 15, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The American experiment in democracy is facing some its most dire challenges during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. He has never been an advocate of government “of, by, and for the people,” and he isn’t about to embrace those principles now.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Abraham Lincoln’s hopes expressed in the Gettysburg Address couldn’t be more urgently needed today as the nation is engaged in a virtual Civil War between Trump and, well, pretty much everybody else who isn’t an indoctrinated Trump cultist. And if he has his way, the freedom and liberty that have been cherished goals for patriotic Americans for 250 years will sadly “perish from the Earth.” The madness of Der Trump is literally threatening to rip apart the American Dream.

SEE THIS: Trump Says it’s ‘Treasonous’ to Report His Frail Health, in a Post that Reveals His Frail Mind

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Trump articulated some of his most bizarre and frightening aspirations for the future of this country. In particular, he was asked about the dismal prospects for his MAGA Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections later this year. As reported by Reuters…

“The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections…He boasted that he had accomplished so much that ‘when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.'”

Trump is justified in being frustrated by the electoral outlook for the GOP. Most polls show that Democrats are strong favorites to return to the majority in the House, and are well positioned to retake the Senate as well. Trump knows that if that happens, he will be subject to more accountability for his criminal misconduct than he has been with his MAGA flunkies running Congress. Including being impeached for the third time.

So it isn’t especially surprising that an anti-democracy, wannabe dictator like Trump told Reuters that, in his opinion, “we shouldn’t even have an election.” Trump has been angling for an excuse to either cancel elections, or so badly suppress voting, that the elections hardly matter. Most recently Trump floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could be used to prevent or delay the election. Exploiting the chaos he’s been deliberately causing in Minneapolis, Trump posted a lie-filled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT.”

Of course the politicians in Minnesota are not corrupt, they do obey the law, there are no professional agitators, and insurrectionists are not attacking ICE, who are provoking violence and assaulting innocent citizens.

Nevertheless, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to sane-wash Trump’s threat to cancel elections at her press briefing. She was asked about why Trump keeps talking about canceling the election. She replied that “The president was simply joking.” Because the thought of ending democracy in America is just so damn funny.

Q: Why does Trump keep talking about canceling the election?LEAVITT: He's speaking facetiously

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-15T18:32:08.929Z

In the same interview with Reuters Trump…

  • Said “I don’t care,” when asked about Senate Republicans expressing disapproval of his investigation into Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell.
  • Also said “I don’t care,” when told about “concerns that White House interference in the Fed could harm the economy.”
  • Whined that “Americans’ worries about high prices” were only due to his not doing a good job of “promoting his achievements.”
  • Lied that “Putin is ready to strike a deal” for peace with Ukraine, but that “the hold-up” was Ukrainian President Zelenskyy,
  • And falsely claimed that “his efforts [in Minnesota] had taken ‘thousands of murderers out of our country.”

Presumably, those are some of the examples of Trump’s “achievements” that would justify his canceling the election. Add to them his bombing of boats in the Caribbean; his razing part of the White House to build an elite ballroom; his persecution of political foes by his weaponized “Justice” Department; his sabotaging the Affordable Care Act, causing premiums to skyrocket; his dismantling government agencies that benefit millions of middle and low income citizens; his reversing gains made in mitigating the harm of climate change; and too many other atrocities to list.

So, yeah… Trump definitely wants to cancel the election. Because he knows that he and the GOP will be massacred. And he aint joking.

THANKS DON: If Trump Gets His Way, Democrats Will Win a Big Majority in the Senate This Year

Posted by on January 13, 2026 at 2:21 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to present some compelling opportunities for Democrats. In 2025 they enjoyed some strong victories across the nation in races that were predicted to be close. And in many other races where they fell short, they narrowed the margin significantly.

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

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Now most polls are showing that the Democratic Party is favored to win a majority in the House of Representatives. That advantage is the result of a combination of factors. First, Democrats have been taking the lead on the issues that matter most to the American people. And secondly, Republicans are saddled with Donald Trump, a mentally impaired megalomaniac who is only interested in himself.

SEE THIS: Does Trump’s Latest Truth Social Post Constitutionally Disqualify Him From Serving as President?

While Democrats are working hard to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, and other expenses that folks encounter on a daily basis, Trump and his MAGA comrades are are squarely focused on building ballrooms, invading other countries (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Mexico, etc.), imposing inflationary tariffs, suppressing the Epstein files, and cutting government programs that help middle and lower income citizens, in order to enrich Trump and his wealthy benefactors.

That’s a political recipe for GOP disaster. But despite how bad that is as a strategy, Trump is going all in on it. On Tuesday morning Trump was asked about his vindictive and meritless persecution of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell. His response reveals just how devoted he is to – – – electing more Democrats?

Question: Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman [Jerome Powell] was a little excessive. What do you think?
Trump: Well, that is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer, I guess. Right?. But I like Thom Tillis. He’s a nice guy. But he’s not gonna be a senator any longer because of views like that.

Q: “Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman was a little excessive. What do you think?”Trump: “That is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2026-01-13T19:08:30.357Z

Trump’s reaction to news that a Republicans senator considers the probe by Trump’s “Justice” Department to be only “a little excessive,” is to celebrate the end of that senator’s political career. Which Democrats will surely appreciate. Tillis represents the purple state of North Carolina that currently has a popular Democratic governor, Josh Stein. Tillis isn’t running for reelection this year, but former Democratic governor Roy Cooper is running for that seat, and holds a substantial lead over his likely GOP opponent.

Trump went on to demonstrate his ignorance of economics by stating that…

“We have a bad Fed chairman. He’s bad in a lot of different ways. But he’s bad because his interest rates are too high. And today we had a great inflation report. And today we had a really great growth report. So we have great growth and low inflation. And we’re doing very well.”

First of all, the Fed chair is just one vote on the Board, so he alone does not determine the interest rates. And true to form, Trump is lying about how great recent economic reports are. However, more to the point, Trump’s analysis that a strong economy warrants lowering of interests is the exact opposite of proper fiscal policy. Interest rates are generally only lowered to juice an economy that is troubled. Doing so with a strong economy is more likely to trigger inflation.

As for Trump’s political analysis, his embrace of losing this incumbent Republican senator is just the start of his strategic foolishness. He also came out against five other GOP senators who had the audacity to vote against his aspirations for unilateral tyranny over American war powers. He commented on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that…

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.”

Trump’s opinion that these Republicans “should never be elected to office again” will be welcomed by Democrats, who only need to net four seats in order to become the majority. Flipping these five seats, along with Tillis, would do that with a two seat cushion. So once again, the more that Trump talks, the better things get for Democrats.

More Republicans are starting to defy Trump. Several recently did so to pass bills to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and to reign in his military aggressions. We are reaching a tipping point where the GOP are becoming more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. And the result of that will be that he lashes out more at members of his own party out of pure spite. And Democrats will be the beneficiaries.

Fox News Finally Admits that Republicans Have No Healthcare Plan, Then Blames it on Democrats

Posted by on January 5, 2026 at 2:32 pm. 0 Comments :

From its inception thirty years ago, the mission of Fox News has been to promote the Republican Party and its right-wing principles. With the advent of a populist cult leader in Donald Trump, Fox News adjusted their role from political ally to glassy-eyed loyalists, performing the function of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda.

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

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Fox News isn’t just an arm of the MAGA media machine, it actually employs Trump’s Daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a primetime weekend program host. That’s just one example of how closely Trump and Fox are intertwined. More examples are readily available. Such as how Fox News gushes over the alleged physical and mental superiority of Trump, despite all the evidence that both are in severe decline.

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

However, the latest example of how devotional Fox News is toward their Dear Leader came in Monday’s episode of Trump’s favorite Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends. In a segment intended to bash Democrats for not supporting Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela, co-host Brian Kilmeade, detours to the valid criticism of Trump that he isn’t paying attention to the things that matter most to the American people. And high on that list is the crisis over healthcare availability and affordability. Unfortunately for Kilmeade, his strategy just affirms how out of touch the GOP is. And how dishonest Fox News is.

Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don’t have a health care program. They can’t have a crisis. It’s your program that’s in crisis. And you can, as a president, have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.”

Brian Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don't have a health care program. They can't have a crisis.”

— Media Matters for America (@mmfa.bsky.social) 2026-01-05T16:51:31.766Z

Okay then. Democrats have long denounced the Republican Party for not having a healthcare plan. The GOP has raged about the Democrat’s Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) for fifteen years, promising to repeal and replace it. But in all that time they have never managed to deliver an alternative. Nevertheless, they insisted that they were ready to go forward with their imaginary plan that they assured was better and cheaper. If only it existed.

Kilmeade then concluded that the GOP’s lack of a healthcare plan means that any healthcare crisis is therefore the fault of Democrats. WTF? It is Republicans who have tried to hobble Obamacare which, by the way, is broadly popular with the majority of the American people across political lines.

Kilmeade also points to Democrats and says that “It’s your program that’s in crisis.” No it’s not! It’s the people’s program. And it’s Republicans who are deliberately putting it in crisis by refusing to extend the premium subsidies, without which costs will double or triple or worse. But to Fox News that’s the Democrats’ fault? Also, Kilmeade says that a president can “have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.” That’s true. And Trump has neither.

This is familiar behavior by Republicans. They can’t take responsibility for anything. They currently control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, but still say that Democrats are to blame for the hardships being thrust on the nation that is being governed by Republicans.

Fortunately, later this year there will be an election that looks to be trending in favor of the Democrats. And when they have the upper hand, they will show Republicans, and the nation, that progress can be made when you have the people’s interests at heart, and the intelligence and compassion to act on their behalf. Rather than the GOP cowards who are beholden only to Herr Trump.

Trump is OUTRAGED that a Democrat is Running as a Democrat After Trying to Buy Him With a Pardon

Posted by on December 7, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 0 Comments :

It has long been observed that the most – or only – criteria for securing support from Donald Trump was demonstrating an unflinching and unyielding loyalty to Trump no matter how reprehensible his words and deeds. Glassy-eyed praise for Trump earns his affection. But even the mildest criticism triggers his wrath.

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

Donald Trump Angry

The degree of Trump’s egomaniacal dependence on fawning devotion has been evident in the Dear Leader Flagellation Forums …er… Cabinet meetings that he arranges where his subordinate sycophants take turns exalting His MAGA-sty in the most humiliating manner imaginable.

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

On Sunday morning Trump put his desperate need for approval on display again with a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. this particular comment was a tedious 391 word rant complaining that Democratic representative Henry Cuellar of Texas didn’t switch parties and become a Trump suck-up after having received a pardon from him. Trump’s tirade is too lengthy and deranged to bother reposting in it entirety, so what follows are are few choice excerpts with annotations. Trump began by whining (of course)…

“Can you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years […] They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters. […] The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”

Can you imagine??? If not it’s only because none of what Trump is saying is remotely aligned with reality. At least 14 other Democrats, mostly in swing districts like Cuellar, have taken the same positions as Cuellar on the border. But the Party was not “looking to destroy” any of them, and none of them were indicted or otherwise subject to “extreme force and jail time.” Trump went on to explain his reasons for granting Cuellar a pardon…

“[H]is daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents […] After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter’s loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people […] God was very happy with me that day!”

So Trump is admitting that he didn’t do any due diligence to ascertain whether there was good reason to indict Cuellar, or whether he was guilty. The only thing that Trump based his pardon on was the emotional outpourings of Cuellar’s daughters, who might not have been especially neutral in their opinions. And for his negligence and pitifully easy manipulation he believes that he earned the approval of his “god” – aka himself.

For the record, Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, were charged with accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani oil company and a Mexican bank, and laundering the money through shell companies. Then he allegedly used his influence to benefit these companies. Two of his political consultants pleaded guilty to the charges. Trump doesn’t appear to have taken any of that into consideration. He just raged further about what was truly bothering him…

“THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again…as a Democrat…Such a lack of LOYALTY…next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

And there you have it. Perceived loyalty is once again Trump’s only concern. He thinks that because he gave Cuellar a pardon, that Cuellar owes him his political devotion. It’s another transactional affair wherein Trump thinks that he’s buying loyalty, and that Cuellar stiffed him. And by the way, when has Trump ever been a “nice guy”?

The reality that Trump is ignorant of is that Cuellar, although he is a moderate/conservative Democrat, votes pretty consistently with his Party. In the 2021-2023 session of Congress, he voted with his fellow Democrats about 97% of the time. In 2024 that dipped to 71% – still a solid majority – likely because it was an election year and he represents a Republican leaning (R+2) district. His district is expected to get even redder after the recent racist and partisan gerrymandering by the Texas state legislature at Trump’s behest.

Cuellar was asked about Trump’s insane online outburst by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, and the prospect of his switching parties. Cuellar affirmed that he’s a Democrat and that “I don’t vote party. I vote for what’s right for the country.” Which is a rational philosophy that neither Trump nor the GOP has ever been able to comprehend.

BARTIROMO: Have you considered switching parties?CUELLAR: Look, I'm a DemocratBARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

Trump FREAKS OUT Over a Democratic Plan to Add 12 Supreme Court Justices – That Doesn’t Exist

Posted by on December 5, 2025 at 1:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The frequency with which Donald Trump deliberately lies in order to keep his glassy-eyed flock of MAGA disciples both dumbed down and fired up is really pretty impressive. It’s a machine gun style of disseminating disinformation that his fellow felonious advisor, Steve Bannon calls “flooding the zone with shit.”

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

Donald Trump

Trump routinely inflates the statistics he cites for everything from the tariff revenue he claims to have received (that American consumers pay for), to the amount he has reduced drug prices (an impossible 1,200%), to the number of wars he has ended (precisely zero). And of course that extends to his egomaniacal bragging that his polling is now the highest it has ever been. Not only is that untrue, but…

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

So naturally, when Trump brings up the issue of reforming the Supreme Court, he exaggerates whatever tiny speck of information he happened to come across while scrolling his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. And on Friday morning Trump was excited to report some flagrantly false news about a Democratic proposal that exists only in his cartoon brain…

“The Democrats number one policy push is the complete and total OBLITERATION of our great United States Supreme Court. They will do this on their very first day in office, through the simple Termination of the Filibuster, SHOULD THEY WIN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. The Radical Left Democrats are looking at 21 Justices, with immediate ascension. This would be terrible for our Country. Fear not, however, Republicans will not let it, or any of their other catastrophic policies, happen. Our Country is now in very good hands. MAGA!!!”

First of all, Trump is the single worst source for information about what the “number one” policies of Democrats are. And those policies are obviously not the “total OBLITERATION” of the Supreme Court. In fact, Democrats have been laser-focused on the cost of living and affordability, a term that Trump says is “a Democrat scam,” even as he calls himself the “affordability president.”

What Trump is whining about is the prospect of Democrats ending the Senate filibuster if they regain the Senate majority in next year’s elections. Which they appear to have a pretty decent shot at doing, But Trump regards terminating the filibuster as such a horrible idea that he is demanding that Republicans do it first.

Trump bases his objection on his own prediction that, without the filibuster, Democrats would seek to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court by 12 to a total of 21. Never mind that no Democrat in Congress has ever proposed that. Although there have been rational proposals to add just four new justices in order to correct the grossly partisan imbalance on the current Court. Those proposals include other reforms such as term limits and enforceable ethics standards. The latter of which an always ethically compromised Trump would never agree to.

Trump is happy with the current MAGA majority on the Court. He appreciates rulings like the one just published that approved a racist gerrymander of congressional districts in Texas. The truth is that Trump has ulterior motives of his own. He wants Republicans to eliminate the filibuster so that he can get his radical and profoundly unpopular agenda through the Senate that, with a razor-thin Republican majority, he is failing to achieve.

So Trump’s solution is to nuke the filibuster and screw at least half of the American people. Because the only things that he has ever been interested in are his own authoritarian grip on power and acquiring more wealth through grift and fraud. Which, ironically, are the same objectives of the MAGA justices on the Supreme Court.

Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Posted by on November 22, 2025 at 1:02 pm. 0 Comments :

Democrats and Republicans are both warning that these are dangerous times that we are living through. Political violence has been on the increase. Democrats have been concerned about this for several years, but Republicans seem to have just taken note of it since the shooting of right-wing activist, Charlie Kirk.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News

Kirk’s murder riled up the MAGA confederacy, generating a relentless stream of accusations against Democrats as being responsible for the rising tide of violence. The right’s complaints have themselves risen to the level of potentially violent rhetoric. That’s especially true of Donald Trump. And they are in complete denial of the fact that most such violence, by far, is committed by conservative perpetrators.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

This week Trump lashed out a group of Democratic members of Congress – all military and/or intelligence veterans – who produced a video to remind soldiers of their legal obligation, as stated in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, that requires them to refuse to obey unlawful orders. To which Trump and his MAGA minions immediately replied by accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump’s threat is despicable and inflammatory. The concerns of those in the video are not hypothetical. Trump has already issued orders that are plausibly unlawful, including those to bomb boats in Caribbean without evidence of any criminal activity, and his invasions of U.S. cities by military troops to quash peaceful protests. With regards to the latter, several court rulings have already found that those deployments are illegal, including one such ruling this week.

Another affirmation of the grotesque consequences of Trump’s outbursts is that one of those in the video, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, has already been the victim of a bomb threat. Fortunately, she and her family were not at home at the time, and no one was hurt. But the intent was clear. Except, that is, for those at Fox News, who reported on the incident and perversely twisted the facts to blame Sen. Slotkin for the attempted bombing of herself. The Fox News story reported that…

“Sen. Slotkin’s home targeted with bomb threat days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” [and that] “The video, which was posted on Tuesday by Slotkin, has drawn the ire of Republicans as well as the Trump administration.”

Did you catch that? Fox reported that the bomb threat occurred “days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” Which is technically true. However, it was just a few hours after Trump posted his incendiary call for Slotkin and her colleagues to be executed. Which is far more likely to have incited the bomb threat. Funny that Fox News didn’t mention that. What’s more, in Fox’s retelling, it wasn’t Slotkin who was the target of the bomb threat, just her home. Fox also only associated the violence with unnamed Republicans and the Trump administration, but not Trump himself, who made the reprehensible remarks.

Sen. Slotkin is not the only one who has been on the receiving end of MAGA malice. Another participant in the video, Rep. Jason Crow, has been getting profane phone calls threating him and his family. You can hear them here, if you have the stomach for it. His congressional office has also received a bomb threat.

To reiterate, these atrocious acts were triggered by patriotic veterans issuing a reminder about the duties that service members swear an oath to. And Fox News is complicit in the deliberate distortion of their intentions that makes the threat of violence toward these members of Congress more likely. Some people might call that seditious behavior. But if they did, Trump would surely pardon them, just as he did others who were actually convicted of it.

UPDATE: Trump was rage-posting late Saturday against the members of Congress in the video…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining and incoherent again. So I thought I'd help him out.

Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

Posted by on November 20, 2025 at 10:05 am. 2 Comments :

The megalomania of Donald Trump is reaching grotesquely frightening new lows. In a flurry of rancid posts to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump is accusing several members of Congress of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Will this abomination convince Republicans that Trump must be removed from office?

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

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s basis for these accusations are as weak as his perpetually tedious lies about having won the 2020 election, or his constant boasts about his divine brilliance on every subject. However, these charges are far more dangerous than most of the laughably incoherent remarks he makes. This episode of his demented hostility began with a segment that aired on Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The Fox News segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

In the video the Congress members reminded those in the military that they have a legal obligation to refuse to follow unlawful orders. It is stated explicitly in Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. However, Trump has preposterously misinterpreted this as an act of sedition. He posted the following comment on Thursday morning…

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT”

To be clear, Trump is accusing members of Congress of sedition, and demanding that they be prosecuted, and even potentially put to death, for reiterating the actual legal obligations of the military as stated in the UCMJ. And if his own posts weren’t bad enough, he reposted 18 more comments (so far) by random people on his website saying such things as “Insurrection. TREASON!” and “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”

The members of Congress in the video that Trump is accusing of sedition are Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.). They were all either military veterans or intelligence operatives before being elected to Congress. Which makes Trump’s accusations all the more reprehensible considering his notorious refusal to serve by falsely claiming five medical deferments for “bone spurs” during the Vietnam war.

What will GOP Senate leader John Thune think about Trump wanting to execute his fellow senators? And what will former senator, now Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio think about killing his former colleagues? Is there any line that Trump could cross before they consider impeachment, or the 25th Amendment to remove him from office?

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Trump is meant to excite and increase the hatred of his MAGA cult disciples toward Democrats. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve. It is abominable and unconscionable rhetoric that will further divide the nation and potentially incite violence.

In other words, it is entirely expected of Trump whose aversion to fellow Americans who fail to unflinchingly worship him is an integral part of his character, or lack thereof.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.Don’t give up the ship.

Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

Posted by on November 19, 2025 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The rise of authoritarianism in the reign of Donald Trump has been an inescapable concern for the patriotic Americans who cherish the principles on which this country was founded. For the whole of his time occupying the White House, Trump has worked against those principles in order to advance his cravings for wealth and power.

Fox News, Constitution

In just the first year of his second term, Trump has wildly exceeded the anti-American aspirations of his first term. He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America’s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his “Justice” Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that’s an abbreviated list.

In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution – from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural – into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America’s military.

In addition to Trump’s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.

The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

Blackburn: It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission. I find it inconceivable, but that is what they have chosen to do, and we will see what the response to them from Democrats…I find this just so disturbing that they would say defy the orders if you do not like the orders.
Faulkner: I don’t think they understand the slippery slope of what that does to an already unpopular Congress.

“Inconceivable!” "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (Also "Treason" on Fox News chyron)The Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally REQUIRES service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-19T19:58:00.399Z

“Inconceivable”? Blackburn says that twice. But as was noted by Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” For one thing, they never said to “defy the orders if you do not like the orders.” They referred only to unlawful orders. And the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. But don’t expect anyone on Fox News, or among the MAGA GOP, to know that.

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Blackburn and Fox News is meant to bring the animosity of their viewers toward Democrats to a furious boil. It is meant to further divide the nation and potentially incite violence. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve.

As such, it is Fox News and Trump’s flunkies who are engaging in the most heinous sort of unpatriotic rhetoric that should be regarded as – not treason – but at least inconceivable in civil society.

HUH? Trump Orders Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton and Other Democrats Re: Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on November 14, 2025 at 11:10 am. 0 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump is rising to unprecedented heights. Only a few days ago new revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein were disclosed in emails that Epstein wrote that further implicate Trump in his unsavory and illegal affairs. It was a bombshell story that overwhelmed the breaking news of the end of the record setting 43 day Trump Shutdown.

Donald Trump and Bill Clinton

For the first 24 hours after the Epstein disclosure, Trump posted nothing on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That’s extraordinarily uncommon for the online Troll-in-Chief. He must have been profoundly shaken by the public exposure of his lack of morality. Which he needn’t be because everyone already knows that. Maybe he was just huddling with advisors to figure out a way to spin the bad news.

SEE THIS: Trump Mouthpiece Whines that the Epstein Story Gets More Press than Trump ‘Winning’ the Shutdown

However, Trump’s reticence to disseminate more lies appears to have been overcome this morning as he has posted a couple of tediously long comments on the Epstein matter that actually make him look even more guilty. In the first comment Trump whined pitifully that…

“The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein Hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing 50,000 pages of documents, in order to deflect from all of their bad policies and losses, especially the SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT.” [And that…]

“Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish. Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem!” [And whined…]

“Don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!”

Trump is well aware that the documents released by his “Justice” Department thus far are all innocuous distractions that have been sanitized of any mention of his name, or other incriminating information. And as for the alleged “SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT,” that really lands squarely on Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress. Democrats succeeded in raising the awareness of the cruelty of Trump and the GOP, and the American people saw right through those efforts to gaslight them.

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all … less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

Trump’s comment went on to attack his own party as “weak,” “soft,” and “foolish.” And it’s hard to argue with him about that. But in this case he’s making the accusation because they had the courage to defy him, for a change. And he simply cannot comprehend or tolerate that. So he lashed out with obviously desperate allegations charging that Epstein is “the Democrats problem.” It was an angle that he liked so much that he elaborated on it in his second comment, along with a menacing threat…

“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions.”

First of all, if Trump really believed that Epstein was “the Democrat’s problem,” he would release all of the files immediately to expose them. Instead, he’s fiercely battling to keep them secret. What does that tell you about who he really thinks are the problem?

More disturbing is Trump’s continuing weaponization of the DoJ to persecute his perceived political enemies. He has already ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to indict former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep. Eric Swalwell. All on the same trumped up charge of mortgage fraud, which he himself was found liable of in a New York civil suit.

A significant difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats aren’t afraid of investigating anyone who might be guilty of sex crimes in association with Epstein. But it’s painfully conspicuous that Trump is only interested in going after Democrats. He literally demanded his GOP cohorts to not “waste your time with Trump.”

Trump and others on the right have questioned why Democrats didn’t release the Epstein files during the term of President Biden. The answer to that is simple, but still to complex for Trump and MAGA to grasp. For one thing, the Biden administration wasn’t weaponizing the Justice Department. And more substantively, the criminal case of Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was still in progress at the time. And it is improper to release evidence while a case is ongoing.

Trump went on to complain that “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam with all arrows pointing to the Democrats.” Which is just his goto whimpering about any of the many credible charges against him. He also alleged that records show that Democrats “spent large portions of their life with Epstein.” But for some reason, he has never produced those alleged records. However, the evidence of his long and close friendship with Epstein has been public for years.

Trump’s attempt to shift criminal suspicion to Democrats isn’t going to work. The public is already aware of his rank immorality and convinced of his guilt. These comments will only serve to make him look more guilty and desperate. But at this point, it’s all that he has left. And the worse things get for him, the more outrageously he will react. So don’t be surprised if he pulls a “Wag the Dog” move and declares war on Venezuela.

UPDATE: Pam Bondi has predictably obeyed Trump’s unethical command to launch an investigation into Democrats and Epstein. She posted a comment on Twitter/X saying…

“Thank you, Mr. President. SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I’ve asked him to take the lead. As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people.”

So Bondi is agreeing to persecute only Democrats and leave the more likely pedophile Trump alone. We can expect the “urgency and integrity” of Bondi to reflect the immorality and corruption for which she and Trump are so well known.
