Did Trump Fail His Physical? Why is He Panic-Posting Pix of Random People Sleeping on TV

Posted by on May 26, 2026 at 3:37 pm. 0 Comments :

Among the many records held by Donald Trump is that he is the oldest person ever to be inaugurated as president of the United States. The American people are reminded of that distinction every day as Trump seems to exhibit new signs of acute physical and mental decline whenever he is seen in public.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Despite Trump’s obvious impairments, he relentlessly brags that he is stronger, smarter, and better in every way than anyone who ever occupied the White House. And his loyal Republican cult disciples obediently repeat his exaltations during meetings that appear to have no other purpose than fluffing His MAGA-sty. Of course his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is always there to back him up…

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

Nearing his eightieth birthday, Trump is showing signs of his age. He has several visible abnormalities that he has never explained. He has also neglected to explain why he is having his third “annual” physical exam in only thirteen months. However, he is predictably bragging about the results that have been confirmed only by his own unverified posting on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, in which he has declared himself to be “PERFECT.”

It’s safe to say that Trump’s assessment of his own health is something less than reliable. In fact, there appears to be something worrisome enough that he has resorted to preposterous claims of perfection, and has ordered his regime flunkies to deflect attention away from his problems and unto some totally fake problems of others.

Shortly after Trump concluded his latest physical at Walter Reed Hospital, his Rapid Response team on X/Twitter went to work accusing a bunch of television reporters and pundits of falling asleep on the air. They posted screenshots as their proof of these accusations. This is clearly an attempt to mock the documented videos of Trump sleeping through Cabinet meetings and other public events.

There’s just one little problem. While Trump’s dozing off is documented in videos that show him motionless with his eyes closed over time, these screenshots are stills that just caught the person looking down or blinking. [Be sure to click through to see the thread that contains the likely reason for these bizarre postings: A doctor on CNN who detailed some of Trump’s notable health issues, including what he called Trump’s “severe daytime somnolence”]

Trump's @RapidResponse47 account is posting screenshots of people allegedly sleeping on TV. It's a sad attempt to mock the videos documenting Trump sleeping at meetings and public events.But these are all stills, while Trump is seen on video. They are just making it worse. 1/3

For the record, here is a recent example of Trump drifting into dreamland. While he has done this on a pretty regular basis, with numerous videos as proof, this one was just yesterday as his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking at a Memorial Day event…

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY? Trump Insults Half the Country (Dumocrats?), Including Millions of Veterans

Posted by on May 25, 2026 at 4:46 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s Memorial Day, and on this somber day of remembrance, America’s fallen are honored for their sacrifice. It’s a day when the nation comes together to pay tribute to those made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the liberties we were inherited from our founders.

Donald Trump, Police

Unfortunately, not everyone participates in this appreciation for those who defend American principles. And leading the list of naysayers is the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. At least he took some time off from golfing, watching Fox News, and pitching his vanity ballroom, to make an appearance at Arlington National Cemetery for a ceremonial wreath-laying. Which is quite a concession considering how averse he is to not being the center of attention.

SEE THIS: Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval – That Doesn’t Exist

Prior to the ceremony at Arlington, Trump posted one of his typically infantile comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exemplifies his true feelings about this holiday. Since he is incapable of behaving as anything other than bitterly divisive, Trump raged that…

“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY?Rather than uniting the nation, Trump's typically infantile message – "including the Dumocrats" – insults half the country – including millions of active duty military and veterans – while focusing on himself.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-25T16:08:43.791Z

First of all, it is improper to wish people a “happy” Memorial Day. It is not an occasion for joy, but for solemn reflection and remembrance. More to the point, it is wholly inappropriate to exploit the holiday to divide Americans politically. Trump’s childish insult may be typical of Trump, but it is out of place and profoundly callous on a day intended to thank the fallen for their service.

What’s more, Trump’s accusation that Democrats “disrespect our military” is hypocritical in the extreme. After all, he is the one who has called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” He is the one who disparaged American prisoners of war simply because they were captured (see John McCain). He is the one who prohibited soldiers with disabling injuries from parades because he didn’t like the way they looked. And he is the five-time draft dodger who allegedly suffered from bone spurs.

Trump has shown more disrespect to America’s bona fide heroes by firing generals and other leaders when they had the audacity to express loyalty to the Constitution, rather than to him. Additionally, Trump is making a disgusting attempt to exalt himself by referring only to alleged military successes “had over the last year,” which is the year of his presidency.

Finally, Trump displayed the depth of his interest in paying tribute to the fallen during a ceremony wherein his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking. Apparently it was too much for Trump to be bothered just to stay awake…

BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

Posted by on May 24, 2026 at 1:40 pm. 1 Comments :

It has been 84 days since Donald Trump launched his 24 to 42 day war against Iran. In that time 13 American soldiers have died, dozens more were seriously wounded, at least $30 billion have been spent, the U.S. and world economies have floundered, the cost of gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc., have skyrocketed, and diplomatic relations with most of America’s allies have been squandered. Are we tired of winning yet?

Trump baby with Iran map

A war that Trump promised would be over before Easter has lasted until Memorial Day, so far. It has endured multiple justifications by Trump and his flunkies, many of them that contradict themselves. What’s more, Trump’s war was already won and done a week after it had begun, according to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

Despite all of that, Trump is still issuing declarations of victory on an endless loop. The latest one was in a long and lie-riddled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that read in part…

“One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. […] The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner.”

This is just the most recent example of Trump insisting that all’s well in Iran and that peace is at hand. Never mind that he and his regime have been doing that for months. For the record, here are are just a few of the preposterously positive assessments announced by Trump and Company (with many more documented here)…

  • March 9: Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much.”
  • March 13: Trump tells Fox News that “I don’t think it’s gonna be long,” and that it is over when “I feel it in my bones.”
  • March 25: White House messaging framed Iran as essentially defeated
  • April 6: Fox News reported Trump saying the war was “nearing completion.”
  • April 8: Trump posted a message on Truth Social saying it’s “A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen.”
  • April 16: Trump said, the war is “going along swimmingly,” and “it should be ending pretty soon.”
  • May 2: Trump reportedly informed Congress that hostilities had “terminated.”
  • May 18: Trump said “serious negotiations” were underway and that a peace arrangement was close.
  • May 23: Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.”

Given those powerful proclamations of triumph, it’s difficult to understand why we are still engaged in ongoing hostilities with a supposedly vanquished enemy. What’s more, one must wonder what Trump still hopes to achieve.

It’s notable that Trump began his tirade, not with criticism of the foreign enemy with whom he’s at war, but with an attack on his perennial domestic enemy, President Barack Hussein Obama. Clearly Trump is suffering from an acute case of OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder). And he uses Obama’s full name like an angry mother chastising an ill-behaved child. But in Trump’s case, it’s just a racist insult.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that was negotiated by Obama assured that Iran would never build or acquire nuclear weapons. Iran also agreed to regular inspections to insure compliance by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). And for ten years Iran was full in compliance with the agreement. Until Trump tore it up and replaced it with – nothing! That’s when Iran resumed their nuclear programs.

Trump’s tentative new deal with Iran would reportedly open the Strait of Hormuz (which was open before his war) with Iran retaining control. It would unfreeze funds and remove sanctions, giving Iran access to billions of dollars in oil revenue. And it allow Iran to keep stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Even if those flaws were resolved in continuing talks, the deal would still fall short of the one that Obama made that had built-in methods of verification, granted Iran far less monetarily, and and cost the U.S. far less in both blood and money.

Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly said that Iran is “begging” to make a deal. Although there is no evidence of that whatsoever. To the contrary, Iran has contradicted every White House boast of progress at the negotiating table. Simultaneously, Trump has actually hampered negotiations by threatening to send Iran “back to the stone ages” or that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” He has also given Iran several deadlines to surrender that he subsequently ignored when they passed. As a result, no one takes Trump’s word seriously anymore, if they ever did.

In short, Trump has delivered nothing of substance after taking twice as long as he promised to get any results. So to pacify his badly bruised ego, he’s lashing out like a petulant toddler at Obama, an indisputably better man that he plaintively envies. And in the days that follow it is still unlikely that we will see the victory that Trump keeps lauding himself for.

How DUMB is Trump? He Just Admitted His Followers Want to ‘WHACK’ Hecklers at His Cult Rallies

Posted by on May 23, 2026 at 4:13 pm. 0 Comments :

The mind-numbing idiocy of Donald Trump never ceases to astonish the long-suffering American people who can’t believe how deeply his ignorance descends into an abyss of abject blather. Even after bragging that he has “aced” multiple psyche tests (that measure cognitive decline, not IQ), Trump still exhibits troubling signs of mental impairment.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Mental health professionals have weighed in on Trump’s evolving dementia in thoroughly researched and documented studies, such as the book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” Making matters worse is that Trump insists on displaying his emotional deficiencies in the most public ways possible.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Continuing that trend, Trump spoke at a political rally Friday in support of a MAGA Republican congressional candidate in New York. And he was in top form for spreading his foolishness far and wide. Among the critical issues that face the nation – war in Iran, inflation, healthcare, etc. – what Trump chose to focus on was his extraordinary ability to craft insulting nicknames for his political enemies. Attacking the Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, Trump babbled that…

“He’s a dumb guy. I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s a dumocrat.’ That’s how I got the name. You take the E out. You don’t use the B. A lot of people don’t know dumb has a B in it actually. You don’t need it…They are dumocrats. You know why? Because their policies are dumb.”

WOW! What an incredibly brilliant play on words – for a seven year old. And whenever Trump refers to what “a lot of people don’t know,” he really just means himself and the MAGA-tists who worship him. Even seven year olds know that “dumb” has a B in it.

A little later in the same speech, Trump was heckled by someone in the audience. His comebacks in these situations are never particularly effective. But this time he ventured farther out on the limb of incoherence than usual. He whined about the risks of exercising freedom speech at a Trump cult rally…

“I tell people ‘Please don’t do it, it’s dangerous.’ To do it in this crowd is not a good thing…I like things that aren’t dangerous. I don’t like to see people get whacked. I don’t like it. So don’t do it.”

Trump just warned people not to heckle him at his rallies or his supporters will kill them.Let that sink in. He didn't tell his supporters not to kill people. He told his critics to shut up.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-23T09:52:10.055Z

Let that sink in. Trump is admitting that his followers are prone to violence, and that they might actually kill you if you express an opinion different than their Dear Leader.

This is the rhetoric that Trump is embracing while he and his MAGA-tists complain about the hostile tone in politics that they pretend to believe must stop. But unlike the phrase “8647” (which means simply to remove or prohibit someone from a particular place), to “whack” can literally mean to murder, in the Mafioso lingo that Trump likes. And notice that Trump doesn’t tell his followers not to kill people who criticize him. Instead, he tells his critics to shut up or risk getting whacked.

Clearly, Trump cannot handle criticism. His massive ego is far too fragile to tolerate it. Even in his telling of this tale about hecklers, Trump said that in the past “Guys would start screaming ‘We hate you, sir.'” Really? They called him “sir” while expressing their hatred? With absurdities like that, there is really only one way to describe Trump’s behavior. And that is to say that it’s dumb, with B. Coming from the leader of the Dumpublican Party.

Trump Bids Farewell to Stephen Colbert With His Trademark Nastiness, Lies, and Bitter Jealousy

Posted by on May 22, 2026 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

The “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” has officially entered the realm of history with his spectacular finale on Thursday night. His legacy of brilliance, warmth, insight, and humor will be remembered by chroniclers of both entertainment and politics for many decades to come.

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

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Not that Colbert has retired from the worlds of either politics or comedy. The Emmy, Grammy, and Peabody Award winning humorist is expected to resume his career after a much deserved vacation and a diversion to a personal passion, writing the screenplay for the next cinematic installment of “Lord of the Rings.” His future looks extraordinarily bright, even as accolades are already starting to pour in…

SEE THIS: Stephen Colbert Honored with Robert F. Kennedy ‘Ripple of Hope’ Award for Social Justice Efforts

The acclaim, however, is not universal. Colbert has managed to stir the ire of a notoriously humorless critic, Donald Trump, who stayed up late to bash Colbert after the last episode of his show was in the can. As Bruce Springsteen said earlier in the week, Colbert is “the first guy in America who lost his show because we’ve got a president who can’t take a joke, [and that Paramount/CBS honchos] Larry and David Ellison feel the need to kiss his ass to get what they want.”

Trump was also up early the next morning to repeat his nastiness for his cult disciples that follow him on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Trump whined that…

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”

And he whimpered that…

“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts. Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Donald Trump is SOOOO jealous of the fact that Stephen Colbert is universally beloved and destined for greatness in his post-CBS career.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-22T18:52:38.909Z

WOW! What an insightful, informative, and mature message to America. Never mind that it’s all bullshit. Trump is in no position to assess Colbert’s talent. And he is either lying or incredibly stupid (or both) if he thinks that Colbert’s number one rated late night program had no ratings. Trump is also pitifully predicting that Colbert is now “gone,” and that his late night peers will be gone soon as well. Not likely on either count.

UPDATE: No ratings? Variety reports that “‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Finale Attracts 6.74 Million Viewers, Its Most-Watched Weeknight Episode Of All Time.”

Trump also has a penchant for framing his insults in extremely dark terms, describing Colbert as “like a dead person.” That’s wishful thinking on Trump’s part. And, yes, he has made similarly morbid comments in the past…

FOR EXAMPLE: Did Trump Just Post a Death Threat to Stephen Colbert After Watching His Kennedy Center Flop?

Trump’s Colbert Derangement Syndrome is more evidence of how uncaring he is about American jobs. Colbert employs about 200 people whose jobs will be over along with the show. But what probably hurt Trump most of all is that in the extended 80 minute broadcast Trump’s name wasn’t mentioned one time. Considering Trump’s massive yet fragile ego, that deliberate neglect is likely still gnawing at him.

Add to that Trump’s raging jealousy that he is only able to attract washed up “celebrities” like Kid Rock, while Colbert was able assemble a huge cast of notables paying tribute to him, including the legendary Paul McCartney…

WTF Is In Trump’s Taxes That Just Made His US Attorney Say Releasing Them Would ‘Destroy’ Trump?

Posted by on May 21, 2026 at 1:39 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the unprecedented and utterly corrupt settlement that Donald Trump made to shield himself from any tax fraud liability, while rewarding his StormTrumpers and other Trump cultists for their treasonous crimes, Trump’s propaganda squad has been hitting the media trail to sell this barrel of rotten apples to the public.

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

Donald Trump

The settlement deal that Trump made was not only corrupt due to the way it granted generous benefits to Trump and his cohorts, but also because he made the deal with himself, since he was both the plaintiff and the defendant in the lawsuit. He was suing the IRS that he presides over. And he agreed to settle with himself on terms that were highly favorable to him. What a surprise. Although he left a little loophole open that Democrats must take advantage of…

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

The PR campaign that the Trump regime has embarked upon since announcing this settlement is as incompetent as one might expect from the notoriously incompetent Trump camp. And the latest example is the interview given by Trump’s U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, to CNBC on Thursday morning.

Replying to questions about Trump’s “Weaponization Slush Fund,” Clayton said that the IRS “intentionally released” Trump’s taxes to embarrass Trump. And that that was the reason for the settlement agreement that created a $1.8 billion slush fund for the criminals and traitors loyal to Trump. Clayton summed up saying that…

“I don’t think we’re gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, ‘Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him.”

US attorney for SDNY Jay Clayton defends Trump's taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I don't think we're gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, 'Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him. Okay, we resolved that.'"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-21T12:09:13.782Z

First of all, it is a flagrant lie that the IRS intentionally released Trump’s taxes. In fact, the IRS didn’t release them at all. They were released by an independent contractor who was working for the IRS during the Trump administration. The contractor was prosecuted and convicted by President Biden’s Justice Department. So by applying Clayton’s logic to the facts, it was the Trump administrations that tried to destroy Trump.

Secondly, the American people are very likely to be talking about this at least until the midterm elections in November. Corruption by the president is a hot topic prior to elections. And Trump has committed more than his share of corruption since his return to the White House. But this time his shameless larceny has even drawn the ire of many Republicans.

Finally, Clayton’s assertion that releasing Trump’s taxes constitutes an effort to “destroy” him is particularly notable. How would leaking his tax returns, like every other president has done in modern times, destroy Trump? Unless, of course, they proved that he was doing something wrong and possibly illegal. So Clayton is effectively raising suspicions that Trump has broken the law and the evidence is in his tax returns which, therefor, must remain secret.

For good measure, Trump’s “acting” Attorney General, Todd Blanche, also sought to defend Trump’s Slush Fund. In doing so he isn’t helping his insistence that he isn’t still “acting” as Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer. Blanche tried to excuse Trump’s apparent tax fraud during an interview with Paula Reid, CNN’s chief legal affairs correspondent…

Reid: The New York Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability?
Blanche: That’s the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it

REID: The Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability?BLANCHE: That's the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-21T01:15:58.118Z

Blanche is parroting Trump’s whining about the “fake news” with the same total absence of facts that Trump does. The article in the New York Times was thorough, well documented, and based largely on Trump’s actual financial records. So trying to dismiss it all with a cheap talking point isn’t going to persuade many people that Trump isn’t a crook.

However, Trump and Blanche and Clayton, et al, know all of that. Which is why Trump’s corrupt settlement deal also included a provision that would prohibit the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, and his businesses. Why do you suppose that was stipulated in the settlement? What is he so desperate to conceal? An innocent man would be anxious to reveal proof of his innocence. but Trump couldn’t be acting more guilty if he tried.

TOTALLY DERANGED: Trump Thinks that If Jesus Counted the Votes, He would Have Won in California

Posted by on May 20, 2026 at 2:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The heartbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is that its sufferers mistakenly think that it’s a malady that inflicts people who frequently criticize Trump. Which makes no sense. That would be a sign rational coherence and good mental health.

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

Donald Trump Messiah

In fact, TDS would be more accurately defined as a pathological disorder that causes one to virtually worship an aspiring cult leader with transparent moral and ethical impairments. And there appears to be a small but loud minority of TDS sufferers in America. Most prominently, Donald Trump himself.

SEE THIS: Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval – That Doesn’t Exist

On Wednesday morning Trump spoke to reporters on his way to assault Coast Guard cadets with an entirely inappropriate, partisan, self-exalting commencement speech. He spent most of his time praising himself, insulting Democrats, and lying about both. Very little of his address could be described as inspiring or patriotic.

Among the symptoms of TDS is the compulsion to repeat incessantly claims that Trump won every election that he every ran in. In his demented perception all of his losses were the result of the elections being “rigged and stolen” from him, despite his never having been able to produce a shred of evidence. He lost 60 court cases challenging election results.

At the Coast Guard event Trump was having another episode of TDS panic. He was asked about the upcoming election in Los Angles for mayor, where Spencer Pratt, a reality TV goofball (just like Trump), is the candidate that Trump has embraced. Although he says that he doesn’t know Pratt, he supports him because he “heard he’s a big MAGA person.” Which is the only criteria Trump requires to commit his support. Then Trump commenced to whining about rigged elections saying that…

“You have a really rigged vote in California…You have all the mail-in ballots and everything else. It’s very hard to win because the elections are very dishonest. If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would’ve won California. Because I do great with Hispanics. But it’s a rigged vote.”

Trump: "If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would've won California. But it's a rigged vote."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-20T13:43:37.077Z

For the record, Trump lost in California by 20 points in 2024, and by 30 points in 2020 and 2016. While Jesus is said to have turned water into wine, there’s no biblical record that he could or would turn millions of votes for a decent, honest Democrat into votes for Trump – a serial adulterer, adjudicated rapist, and convicted felon.

It isn’t surprising that Trump, who has literally placed himself in the role of Jesus, would think that Jesus would help him prevail in an election. If anything, Jesus, who preached love, and forsook wealth and materialism, would be more likely to turn votes for Trump into votes for a Democratic candidate who supports values such as caring for the needy, healing the sick, and welcoming immigrants. You know, Christian values.

Trump’s rant also complained about alleged problems with mail-in voting, which is how millions of people vote, including Trump. And once again, he has failed to ever prove that there are any problems beyond a handful of instances that had no impact on any election outcome. Trump also boasted that he does “great with Hispanics.” He’s going to find out how wrong he is about that in November, especially in Texas.

Trump’s case of TDS is acute and disabling. He can’t open his mouth without exhibiting the severity of his illness. But he has had some success in infecting others with weak immune systems, or just weak minds. Some of whom are Republican members of Congress.

However, there is also growing evidence of herd immunity shielding much of the U.S. population from TDS. And the more Trump’s symptoms are on display, the more people are repulsed, and subsequently saved, from the tragedy of acquiring Trump Derangement Syndrome.

BOO HOO: JD Vance Says the Treasonous Rioters Who Beat Cops Don’t Get Any Sympathy – No, REALLY!

Posted by on May 19, 2026 at 4:17 pm. 2 Comments :

Isn’t it comforting to know that while the American people are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is focusing all of his attention on the beautification of Washington, D.C. He is building a billion dollar vanity ballroom next to the White House. He is doing an unnecessary renovation of the Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln Memorial. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center to rehab it for reasons no one understands. And he has several remodeling projects in progress at the White House.

Donald Trump Insurrection

Never mind that the economy is suffering from rising inflation. Or that there’s a war going on against Iran that Trump can’t figure out how to end. Or that people can’t afford health insurance, or food, or housing, and the programs that provide aid are being slashed. Or that the national debt is hitting record highs. It appears that there is only enough money in the treasury to fund Trump’s pet projects, but nothing that benefits the American people.

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

The Trump administration’s solutions to these problems is to pretend that they don’t exist. To that end they have sent their best messenger, JD Vance, into the fray to make the case that everything is just hunky dory. And he’s doing a bang up job of it.

Vance showed up in the White House Press Briefing Room Tuesday morning in place of Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave. He began by assuring the assembled reporters that Trump never said that he didn’t care about people’s financial situations (he did say it), and defending Trump’s stock trading in companies that he has a financial interest in, and condemning fraudulent schemes that sound exactly like what Trump engages in.

Amidst this embarrassing display poorly dispensed PR, Vance was asked about the nearly $2 billion “Anti-Weaponization” slush fund that Trump connived with his “Justice” Department to reward his StormTrumpers. Which led to this boneheaded bomblet that he dropped on the reporters…

“You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to that disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest.”

Vance: "You know who never gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2026-05-19T18:35:17.751Z

Seriously? What Vance is asking for is sympathy for the insurrectionists – incited by Trump – who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, assaulted police officers, vandalized the property, threatened the lives of members of Congress and then-Vice-President Mike Pence, and sought to undermine democracy by overturning the election.

Of course. Why not show sympathy for these traitors? After all, most of them already received pardons from Trump. And now Trump is seeking to reward them financially for their treason. So haven’t they suffered enough? After all, Trump is going to need them for his next attempted insurrection when he is evicted from the White House by voters, or maybe sooner by impeachment or the 25th Amendment. It’s a virtual advertisement for aspiring anti-American mercenaries.

This is a perfect demonstration of what Trump and his MAGA minions think about democracy and the Constitution. They have no sympathy for the plight of the American people who their policies are harming. But hey are full of it when it comes to lawbreakers, and cop beaters, and criminals who commit fraud on behalf of Dear Leader and his cult.

The only thing surprising about any of this that they are doing it all right out in the open. And they wonder why Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet.

DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

Posted by on May 18, 2026 at 1:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Just when you thought that the bar for presidential corruption couldn’t get any lower. Donald Trump demonstrates that he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “bottom.” Or most other words with two syllables or more.

Donald Trump Rally, Sieg Heil

Earlier this year Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS to pay him reparations for alleged damages from the leaking of his tax returns that revealed that he paid little or taxes for several years. Of course the real victims were the American people who Trump was shortchanging for the fair share of taxes that he owed.

Now Trump’s “Justice” Department is dropping that lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.776 billion slush fund (get it? 1776?) to compensate the convicted rioters and cop beaters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and who he later pardoned. It’s an idea he has been talking about for at least a year.

Trump is calling this his “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a name that doesn’t really describe the nefarious purposes that it was created for. What Trump means by “weaponization” is any activity that criticizes or interferes with his aspirations of authoritarian rule. The Justice Department outlined the fund saying that…

“The U.S. Department of Justice today announced that as a part of the settlement agreement in President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, the Attorney General established ‘The Anti-Weaponization Fund’ to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” […]

“Per the settlement, plaintiffs will receive a formal apology but no monetary payment or damages of any kind. They have agreed, in exchange for the creation of this fund, to drop their pending lawsuit with prejudice, and also withdraw two administrative claims including for damages resulting from the unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago and the Russia-collusion hoax.”

The fund, which is already facing challenges in court by Democrats, was manufactured by Trump’s Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has also served as Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer. Blanche will also be administering the “systematic process” referenced in the announcement. I’m sure he’ll be fair. Right? RIGHT?

Furthermore, the references to an “unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago and the Russia-collusion hoax” are purely Trump’s conspiracy theory lies that provide no legal foundation for any sort of compensation.

Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, over which he presides, posed a flagrant conflict of ?interest wherein he was effectively suing himself. Trump is now settling with himself just nine before the judge hearing his case was going to rule on whether to dismiss it for its obvious conflicts.

Trump is sending a crystal clear message to those criminals, and those would-be criminals in the future, that he will shield them from any legal liability for their crimes. That message is: TREASON PAYS! If you are a staunch devotee of the Cult of Trump who is willing to break the law and threaten the lives of American citizens, soldiers, law enforcement officers, and congressional representatives, there is a place for you in the ranks of the StormTrumpers. And you may even be able to profit from it.

Making matters worse, it is taxpayers who will be footing the bill for this fund. Which means that all of us will be financing the activities of convicted seditionists and traitors-in-training who seek to undermine democracy. For this and other reasons, the settlement has the typical stench of lawlessness and incompetence that is emblematic of the Trump legal team. The announcement also declared that…

“The Fund will have the power to issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants. Submission of a claim is voluntary. There are no partisan requirements to file a claim. […] The Fund shall cease processing claims no later than December 1, 2028.”

Note that the expiration date for filing claims is one month before Trump’s term ends. That would prevent any subsequent Democratic president from having any decision making authority over new claims. However, by specifying that “There are no partisan requirements to file a claim,” Trump is leaving open the possibility of Democrats filing claims for compensation for damages due to Trump’s weaponizing of the Justice Department and other agencies of his regime. Democrats should take full advantage of that opportunity.

Those who have been investigated and/or indicted by Trump’s DoJ on phony charges can all file claims. They include Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and Adam Schiff; political officials James Comey, Letitia James, Jack Smith, Jerome Powell, and John Brennan; journalists and media companies; and every immigrant, citizens or otherwise, who were subject to harassment, incarceration, and/or deportation, by Trump’s ICE thugs. And that’s an abridged list.

So as long as Trump is opening this door, Democrats should leap through it. Not that they can expect to get positive resolutions from Trump’s appointed flunkies, but they can keep the wheels from turning by overloading the fund’s capacity to function efficiently. Hopefully, none of that will be necessary if the legal challenges to the fund succeed. But just in case…

UPDATE: Trump was asked about his “Reparations for Criminals Fund” and he defended it by lying that he didn’t know about it. As a settlement to his lawsuit he would have to know about it and agree to it. Otherwise there can’t be a settlement.

HUH? Trump’s Acting Attorney General: There’s a Ton of Evidence that the 2020 Election Was Rigged

Posted by on May 17, 2026 at 2:23 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump is finally evicted from his execrable occupation of the White House, there will be high stakes competitions for who was the most dishonest, dangerous, sycophantic, and/or embarrassing flunky in his confederacy of cultists.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Due to the extraordinary “qualifications” of so many on his team, it will be a close race. The contenders will include former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, as Secretary of War Crimes, Pam Bondi as Attorney Genuflect, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Road Kill, Kristi Noem as Homeland Insecurity Secretary, Kash Patel as FBI Deflector, and Stephen Miller as Senior Neo-Fascist Advisor. Of course, Trump himself sets the bar for these incompetents and nutcases…

Not to be ignored is Trump’s current Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, who took over after Bondi flamed out. Blanche is not only a kneejerk Trump devotee, he is also Trump’s personal defense lawyer, which by itself is a conflict of interest so flagrant that he should never have been confirmed for a Justice Department position.

On Sunday morning Blanche was manning his post on Fox News, where most of Trump’s staff spend the majority of their time. Blanche was interviewed by Fox’s official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. And in the course of their discussion Blanche may have taken the lead in the Trumpian Asskissing Olympics. Bartiromo teed him up with a typically softball question concerning Trump’s obsession with having lost the 2020 election…

Bartiromo: The president says all the time that the election was rigged. What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the election ws rigged? What can you tell us?
Blanche: Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That’s not something that the DoJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on…We’re very focused on finding out whether the right people voted.

Bartiromo is right that Trump is constantly whining about his humiliating 2020 election loss. Which should trigger the invocation of the 25th Amendment and Trump being thrown out of the White House. But Blanche’s reply was even worse. There is literally zero evidence of any election rigging in 2020. Trump and his minions have had six years to produce any, but despite their promises, have never done done so.

To the contrary, Fox News had to pony up a record $787 million dollars in a settlement for a defamation lawsuit for disseminating that precise lie. And Bartiromo was specifically cited in the case as a participant in that barrage of bullshittery. Although Blanche is surely telling the truth that there are multiple investigations in progress, because that’s all this “Justice” Department does anymore. And we can also believe that he is focused on “whether the right people voted.” By which he means Trump people.

The interview went on to address some specifics about the phony allegations of election rigging. Blanche sought to disinform the already deluded Fox News viewers that illegal voting is major problem that he is diligently striving to fix…

Bartiromo: So what you are saying is that you have in fact seen evidence that people voted who should not have voted. Whether it be through mail-in ballots, ballots coming from empty parking lots, or dead people, whatever, or from illegals. Is that what you’re suggesting?
Blanche: During the Biden administration they didn’t charge a single individual with illegal voting. Just last year we charged dozens. And we’re investigating a ton more. So that’s exactly what I’m saying. We know that there were people who voted that were not eligible to vote. We’ve charged some them. We’ve charged some them in the past year and we’re investigating a tom more right now.

Once again, Blanche is shamelessly lying. First of all, most illegal voting prosecutions are state crimes, not federal. And there more than two hundred combined state and federal cases launched during the Biden administration. For that same period there were dozens of reported federal cases. But it’s important to note that, in both state and federal, the number is insignificantly small considering the hundreds of millions of ballots cast, and none impacted any election outcome.

By comparison, in the past year Trump’s Justice Department charged only four people with illegal voting. They were non-citizens whose votes may have been inadvertently improper because they didn’t understand the law or were misinformed. The bottom line is that Blanche’s numbers regarding the Biden and Trump administrations are exactly the reverse of reality.

The only real work that the Trump administration has done with regard to voting has been to put up obstacles to voting by Democrats, and particularly minorities. Their efforts to redistrict congressional maps and invalidate the historic Voting Rights Act prove that they are scared witless of allowing voters to choose their own representatives.

And they should be scared. Because all the recent polling shows that Trump and Republicans are universally despised by a majority of the electorate. With their prospects in the toilet, Republicans are desperate to rig the election of 2026. They must not be allowed to succeed. But the good news is that they are usually so incompetent that they will screw it up, and wind up hurting themselves.
