Trump Threatens to Jail Chicago Governor and Mayor in Another Step Toward Fascist Dictatorship

Posted by on October 8, 2025 at 1:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The path to the totalitarian dystopia that Donald Trump craves is lined with threats, insults and meritless indictments of his plethora of perceived enemies. This alleged “strongman” does nothing but whine about his victimhood, while seeking to intimidate and/or imprison anyone who dares to offer even a mild criticism.

Donald Trump, Twitter

In the nine months since his reoccupation of the White House, Trump has sicced his regime attack puppets on the Democratically elected representatives of the people throughout the nation, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, California Senator Adam Schiff, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, etc. As well as patriots such as Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, philanthropist George Soros, comedian Jimmy Kimmel, and former FBI Director James Comey. Are those the acts of a strong man?

SEE THIS: WOW! Even Fox News Media and Legal Analysts Bash Trump’s Bogus James Comey Indictments

On Wednesday morning Trump lashed out again at a pair of elected representatives who failed to show him the worshipful adoration to which he feels entitled. Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are among those who have steadfastly resisted Trump’s efforts to invade American cities with military troops in order to suppress dissent and free speech. Trump posted a noxious comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, decreeing that the…

“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!”

As usual, Trump’s outrage is rooted in fantastical fallacies emanating from his acutely dysfunctional brain. Neither Pritzker nor Johnson have violated any laws, and Trump doesn’t even bother to cite any violations. He complains about them “failing to protect Ice Officers,” which is not against the law. Nor is it the duty of state or local law enforcement.

What’s more, ICE officers are themselves supposed to be law enforcement agents. Are they incapable of protecting themselves? That’s like demanding a police escort for police officers. Although, considering the quality of recruiting in Trump’s ICE regiments, perhaps they do need protection.

Gov. Pritzker was asked about Trump’s threat by NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff. He replied…

“Let’s start with the idea that this is a convicted felon. I mean, think about that. This is a convicted felon who is threatening to jail me. I gotta say that this guy is unhinged. He’s insecure. He’s a wannabe dictator. And there’s one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-08T17:48:47.449Z

Mayor Johnson also commented on the threat during an interview on CNN saying that…

“This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It’s certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly. I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to stay firm as the mayor of this amazing city, which was voted nine years in a row the ‘Best Big City in America.’ And we’re going to defend all of Chicago.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-08T15:53:36.466Z

It is notable that both the Mayor and the Governor chose to describe Trump as “unhinged” and mentioned his looming threat to democracy. Those are both symptomatic of personality disorders that plague Trump. He is hopelessly removed from reality, And he has a determination to reign as dictator.

Trump is following the model of his idols Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And if we the people of America don’t stand against him we will lose the freedom that was bestowed upon us by our founders. This is not a drill!

LOLOL: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

Posted by on October 7, 2025 at 12:17 pm. 0 Comments :

Nothing is more devastating to Donald Trump than any affront to his massive yet fragile ego. He is perpetually obsessed with numbers related to his public profile: crowd size, ratings and polls. And he refers to them incessantly, generally citing only those that are flagrantly biased in his favor, misrepresenting their findings, or simply making them up.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

Lately Trump has taken a special interest in late night comedy shows on TV. Particularly Jimmy Kimmel Live, whose program Trump managed to get suspended for a few days because Kimmel dared to tell jokes that revealed the truth about Trump. When Kimmel was brought back on Trump suffered a severe emotional breakdown, manifesting in a barrage of typically Trumpian insults and threats…

SEE THIS: Toddler Trump Throws Tantrum, Threatens to Sue ABC for Restoring Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

Ever since his return to the air, Kimmel has demonstrated that he has not been intimidated by the Trump regime and has no intention of softening his comedic approach to the Crybaby-in-Chief. On Monday night Kimmel’s monologue (video below) featured a poll wherein Trump was soundly beaten by Kimmel in approval ratings. This is just the sort of news that leads to a Trump meltdown. Kimmel began by saying that…

“According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us.

“They polled more than a 1,000 people and I lead Trump by 16 points. I’m at plus 3, he’s at minus 13. It’s nice, but considering the fact that I’m not a convicted felon, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and I’ve never paid off a porn star, or sent a team of masked goons into a park to pull an old lady away from her grandchildren, I feel like my rating should be higher maybe than this. At this point finding a toenail in your salad has a 7 point lead over Donald Trump.”

JIMMY KIMMEL BEATS TRUMP!"According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-07T16:51:14.695Z

OUCH! Kimmel makes a good point about his ratings being the low side despite the fact that he isn’t a repulsive slimeball with a criminal record. Kimmel still surpasses Trump handily even after all of Trump’s slanderous outrage and relentless and defamatory efforts to muddy up Kimmel’s reputation. And yet, Kimmel continues to take the high road and express a little sympathy for poor baby Trump…

“I hope he doesn’t see this. You know I don’t like to upset him. But I think he might be upset because the White House put out a statement this afternoon – this is a real statement.

‘Over 77 million Americans showed up on election day to cast their ballots for president Donald J. Trump, who is delivering on his overwhelming mandate to put America first. Jimmy Kimmel prays every night to garner a fraction of that support to keep his show on air after ratings dropped 64% last week. Sad!’

“You know what else is sad? That the president of the United States has a lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea. That’s what’s sad. If he’s looking to improve his approval ratings, I have an idea. Release the Epstein files.”

Trump is unlikely to take Kimmel’s advice. But that’s only because he knows that his name is plastered all over the pages of the Epstein files. Which is also why Trump is constantly trying to change the subject to distract the American people. He’s sending military troops to invade several peaceful American cities. He’s blowing up possibly innocent fisherman in the Caribbean. And he orchestrated a government shutdown that will cause real harm for millions of Americans.

But at least they won’t be talking about the Epstein files. Oh, wait. They still are.

DELUSIONAL: Trump Thinks He Won a Lawsuit Against the Associated Press that He Actually Lost

Posted by on October 6, 2025 at 8:05 am. 1 Comments :

Concern abut the noticeably deteriorating mental acuity of Donald Trump has been an active topic of discussion for months (years?). And since his reoccupation of the White House this year, it has only accelerated. This is a problem that puts the nation – and, in fact, the whole world – at risk.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

The past few weeks have seen Trump delivering speeches that have raised questions about his ability to perform the duties of the presidency. At the United Nations he rambled aimlessly about subjects that have nothing to do with the state of the world’s affairs or the foreign policy of the United States. At a celebration of the Navy’s anniversary he wandered off into some of his purely political fixations. And throughout all of it Trump lied and whined petulantly about his imagined victimhood.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines that ‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’ and Decrees That ‘They’re Not Allowed To Do That’

The troubling spectacle of watching a president devolve cognitively has renewed talk of his removal from office via the 25th Amendment of the Constitution. His flagrant lying, seething hostility, and thuggish threats are all symptomatic of mental illness. And much of what Trump says is just plain delusional. For example, one of the bizarre statements he made at the Navy event was entirely removed from reality.

“We got sued by the Associated Press, and they lost. In fact the judge was so good, he’s calling it the Gulf of America. He’s got all of the approvals. You have to do that too. To the very liberal Associated Press. They got thrown out of court. In fact they’re almost not allowed to cover me anymore because of that.”

Trump: "We got sued by the Associated Press, and they lost. In fact, the judge was so good he said, 'He's calling it the Gulf of America. He's got all the approvals' … they got thrown out of court. In fact, they're almost not allowed to cover me anymore because of that. It was a big hit."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-05T20:56:22.814Z

All of that is simply untrue. Although it is consistent with Trump’s animosity toward the free press that he has repeatedly maligned as “the enemy of the people.” He began attacking the AP after they refused to comply with his preposterous attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. In a fit of fury he banished them from the White House and other presidential press access. The AP filed a lawsuit to restore their rights. And contrary to Trump’s assertion, they did not lose. As reported by – appropriately – the AP…

“[A] federal appeals panel handed The Associated Press an incremental loss on Friday in its continuing battle with the Trump administration over access by its journalists to cover presidential events. By a 2-1 margin, judges on the three-judge U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington granted Trump a stay in enforcement of a lower-court ruling that the administration had improperly punished the AP for the content of its speech.”

To be clear, the AP actually won their lawsuit against Trump in a lower court that ruled that he could not block them from access to Trump in places like the Oval Office or Air Force One. A three judge panel of the appeals court only granted Trump a stay on that ruling pending his appeal. The ruling was not overturned. The AP did not get thrown out of court. And Trump’s claim that “they’re almost not allowed to cover me anymore,” is just plain nuts.

The AP isn’t the only media outlet that Trump has sought to ban. He also evicted the Wall Street Journal from certain press events after they published a birthday note that Trump wrote to his pedo-pal, Jeffrey Epstein.

What’s more, Trump has filed numerous lawsuits against the press, including ABC News, CBS News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN, for what amounts to hurting his feelings. But what else would you expect from an aspiring authoritarian who began his second term by declaring himself the king of the White House press corps?

Trump’s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Attacks the ‘Circus Animals’ at MSNBC for Reporting Accurately

Posted by on October 5, 2025 at 10:27 am. 0 Comments :

The regime of Donald Trump has been feverishly pursuing a campaign of retribution against any and all opponents of his anti-American, authoritarian aspirations. Even mild critics of Trump are targeted for termination or other punishment for daring to show fealty to the law and the Constitution.

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

This week a victim Trump’s wrath was fired for refusing to stage a perp walk for former FBI Director, James Comey, when he was indicted on trumped up charges of lying to Congress. Such fabricated optics are explicitly illegal under federal law because their only purpose is to tarnish defendants and undermine their presumption of innocence that is protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Not that Trump & Co. care about the proper application of the law.

SEE THIS: WOW! Even Fox News Media and Legal Analysts Bash Trump’s Bogus James Comey Indictments

Reports of the FBI official’s firing were published by several news outlets, including Reuters, CBS News, and MSNBC. However the MSNBC report drew the attention of Trump’s FBI director, Kash Patel, who posted a comment on Twitter/X lashing out at the network in a manner that most resembles an infantile Internet troll. Which is precisely what Patel was prior to being recruited by Trump to run the FBI.

Trump's un-American and unqualified FBI director, Kash Patel, posts a chilling attack on a news network that he and Trump despise because it dares to report honestly about them.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-05T08:42:40.106Z

Patel’s insulting characterization of MSNBC journalists as “ass clowns” and slobbering “circus animals” is profoundly inappropriate for any government official, much less for one of the nation’s top figures in law enforcement. They are childish and dehumanizing remarks that demean the office and inflame division and hostility toward the agency.

Furthermore, Patel calling MSNBC a “factory of disinformation” is both utterly unfounded and even ironic, considering Trump’s reliance on networks of proven liars like Fox News and Newsmax, who paid multi-million settlements for blatantly lying.

Patel’s complaint about MSNBC is that the network reported that he had fired an agent who refused to participate in an unlawful and brazenly political charade to humiliate Comey. Patel claimed that MSNBC “has no facts” to support their reporting. However, in his very next sentence he actually admits the MSNBC was right, saying that “In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved.” So he is confirming the story that an agent was “relieved” because he refused to follow what was an illegal order.

What’s more, Patel is lying about felons Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, and Steve Bannon, being perp walked. That never happened. While there may have been some media present for their arrests, it was incidental. It was not staged, encouraged, or intentional, on the part of the arresting agents or FBI leadership.

The fact that Patel would post a comment that is so repulsively inappropriate is just further proof of how ridiculously unfit he is for the office that Trump appointed him to. He has fired many other agents and officials in his short time as FBI director, including one recently for merely having a pride flag in his office – ten years ago. And more former agents are suing the Bureau for terminating them out of retribution for having done their jobs investigating and/or prosecuting convicted felon Trump.

This is further evidence of the model of fascist government that Trump is following. He is weaponizing the Justice Department against his perceived enemies. But worse, he is making all Americans less safe by eliminating so many highly experienced, senior officials who devoted their careers to public service and law enforcement. All to satisfy the ego and power obsession of wannabe dictator Donals Trump.

SRSLY? Kari Lake Says Trump Has ‘the Greatest Sense of Humor of Any Modern Day President…Ever’

Posted by on October 4, 2025 at 12:09 pm. 0 Comments :

Perhaps the most important function of a totalitarian regime is its propaganda aimed at casting the leader as a giant among men with superior intellect, infallible instincts, and unshakeable courage. Which explains why Donald Trump’s propagandists work so hard to make people believe that he is a near deity whose power cannot be challenged.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

The tricky part is that they also need Trump to come off as an everyman to whom all of his subjects can relate. And with that in mind his PR team needs to convince the masses that he has a genial personality, some measure of empathy, and a sense of humor. But given Trump’s well known personality disorders, that’s a task with an extraordinarily high degree of difficulty.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

Now That Trump has orchestrated a shutdown of the U.S. government, the blame game has begun in earnest to politically tarnish whichever party is determined to be responsible for it. That shouldn’t be hard considering that Republicans are in control of both houses of Congress and the presidency, and that they have openly celebrated the shutdown as a long hoped for opportunity to cause great damage to the governmental institutions they despise.

Republicans have no rational argument for continuing the shutdown. And they are taking most of the heat from the public for having caused it. Consequently, they have resorted to a campaign of ridiculing Democrats as a substitute for engaging in a cogent debate.

The campaign of mockery includes a noxious and racist fake video, posted by Trump, of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spouting obscenities. And that was supposed to be funny. However, when the public reaction to it was overwhelming disgust, Republicans complained that Democrats just don’t have any sense of humor.

Among those making that charge was Trump’s head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake. She appeared on the right-wing network, Newsmax, with Chris Salcedo to elaborate…

Salcedo: The left is in full collapse. They can’t argue issues anymore. So they argue, “Stop making fun of my stupid policies.” Unreal, isn’t it?
Lake: And they don’t have a sense of humor. That’s funny, no matter how you slice it it’s funny. The memes that have come out of that, and seeing the sombrero everywhere, it just made me laugh.

And if we can’t laugh, my goodness, how do we get through difficult times like we’re seeing right now? I think it’s hilarious. Good for president Trump for having the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen, and keeping us in stitches over everything that he’s been putting out on social media.

WHUT? Lake thinks that Trump has “the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen”? Now THAT is really funny. Trump couldn’t even show up once to the annual White House Correspondents Dinners, where comedians – and the president – get to crack jokes about politics, and sometimes themselves. His idea of a joke is to ridicule the poor, minorities, the disabled, women, and always those on his personal enemies list. He’s just plain cruel.

Lake also thinks that Democrats need to get a sense of humor. Really? Trump and his MAGA minions got Stephen Colbert canceled (but not until next May). They got Jimmy Kimmel thrown off the air (for a few days). Trump celebrated those victories for censorship by declaring that Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers would be next.

Republicans all cheered this muzzling of comedians that was orchestrated by Trump and his fascist regime. And yet, the MAGA GOP is incensed that Democrats don’t find Trump’s flagrant racism funny.

However, there are some significant differences between Trump’s pathetic, allegedly humorous put downs of Jeffries and Schumer, and the Democrats’ response to it. First of all, no Democrat has censored Trump or any other Republican for their lame attempts at comedy. And secondly, the Democrats’ humor is based on the politics and policies of Trump and the GOP, while Trump’s humor is just infantile invectives and bigotry aimed at society’s most vulnerable.

The fact that Lake and other Trumpists actually think that they can sell the preposterous notion that Trump is America’s funniest president is downright hilarious. But there is nothing funny about how Trump & Company malign Democrats and disadvantaged Americans. And laugh so heartily while doing it.

Energy Secretary on Fox News Won’t Deny that Trump’s Cuts are Purposefully Punishing Blue States

Posted by on October 3, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The flagrant hostilities expressed by Donald Trump toward his fellow Americans in the Democratic Party are symptoms of a wholly unprecedented psychosis in an American president. He isn’t merely opposing them politically. He has a visceral hatred for them and regards them as enemies of the state. And “them” I mean all Americans who don’t worship Dear Leader Trump.

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

Donald Trump

This week Trump posted a meme on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he called Democrats “The Party of Hate, Evil, and Satan.” Which is particularly repulsive following the shooting of conservative activist, Charlie Kirk, when Trump and others in politics are lecturing on the importance of unifying the country and avoiding the sort of hateful rhetoric that could incite violence. Clearly he doesn’t mean that for himself and his MAGA cronies.

SEE THIS: Trump HATES You and Half of America, As He Told MAGA-tists at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Hatefest

Trump is totally ignoring the calls for civility, even from his own party. To the contrary, he is escalating the animus. And not just to deliver insults to his political foes. He is directing his regime to deliberately abuse the power of his office in order to harm Democrats.

For example, his Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, was dispatched to Fox News on Friday where he was asked a direct question about Trump’s obvious efforts to hurt Democrats. And, surprisingly, Wright was briefly challenged by Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: You canceled, I believe, almost $8 billion of energy projects across the country. Most of these projects are in blue states. The Democrats are saying they’re being punished for their politics. So Mr. Secretary, are you punishing the blue states?
Wright: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. Do you and your viewers want to pay $70 million to decarbonize mac and cheese? Do you want to pay to decarbonize Uber Eats in San Francisco, or subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? People don’t want to pay taxpayer money on that.
Varney: You got me with the mac and cheese Mr. Secretary. Great performance on the show today.

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states?CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars … do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia?(That's not a no!)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-03T13:27:54.678Z

Notice that Wright completely dodged the question about whether Trump was “punishing the blue states.” He refused to acknowledge the obvious fact that the only cuts Trump was making was to states that didn’t vote for him. That deliberate – and potentially illegal – partisanship was previously confirmed by Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russell Vought, one of the principal authors of the authoritarian handbook, “Project 2025,” that Trump has embraced.

Russ Vought is a principal author of the authoritarian handbook, "Project 2025," that Trump said he didn't read, but then made Vought his OMB Director.Now Vought says that he's cancelling billions in funds to mitigate the climate crisis, but all in blue states. That's extortion and illegal.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T09:51:25.922Z

On a more substantive note, every initiative that Wright mentioned would actually save taxpayers money. Decarbonizing – or reducing carbon emissions – improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and mitigates the harmful effects of climate change. That includes the cost of healthcare for those adversely impacted.

Likewise, promoting bicycling reduces pollution, traffic congestion, and reliance on public transportation. All of which saves the expenses related to street maintenance and repair, and operating buses and trains.

Wright was praised by Varney for his “performance” during the interview, Which was an appropriating choice of words. Because everything done by the Trump regime is designed as if it were the sort of a pseudo reality TV program with which Trump is so familiar.

However, Trump et al can’t escape the real reality that Trump is abusing his power to hurt his perceived politically enemies. He actually admitted it himself recently in a post on Truth Social saying that he is working with Vought “to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut.”

With that Trump reveals that he is not a president for all the people, but just his MAGA cult. Therefore, he has no business occupying the White House. And the sooner he is removed the better off all Americans will be.

Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

Posted by on October 2, 2025 at 1:09 pm. 0 Comments :

Now that Donald Trump has succeeded in implementing his government shutdown, the blame game in Washington D.C. has reached a fever pitch. Naturally, Democrats are blaming Republicans, and Republicans are blaming immigrants – and, oh yeah, Democrats.

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

Donald Trump

The Republican messaging is rife with flagrant lies about what Democrats want in order to pass the budget legislation. They insist that Democrats are demanding free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” That’s a lie. There are zero Democrats proposing that. But Republicans have decided that this will be their sole talking point because they couldn’t care less about ending the shutdown. In fact, they are rejoicing in it, and even bragging that it is helping them to achieve some of their long term goals.

SEE THIS: MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

However, the American people have other ideas. They are opposed to Trump and his GOP cohorts allowing healthcare costs to rise to exorbitantly unaffordable levels. As reported by CNN, a new poll by the Washington Post finds that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-02T17:36:17.845Z

Meanwhile, over on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, viewers got a morsel of truth from Democratic strategist Dan Kanninen. He told Fox’s Brian Roberts that…

“This month, if the ACA tax credits do not go forward, which is what the shutdown is about…viewers on this network who are 60 years old and making $75,000 a year, will see $841.00 increases monthly to the health insurance premiums.”

Republicans were hoping that they could shove this shutdown down America’s throat and make Democrats take the heat for it. But the American people are smarter than Republicans thought. And the GOP haven’t helped themselves with statements by their Dear Leader that reveal how thrilled he is with the shutdown that will cause severe harm to millions. He posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM…I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.”

That comment is not only an expression of appreciation for the shutdown, but Trump is threatening to cut only “Democratic Agencies,” which is an openly partisan, and potentially illegal admission. He also reveals that he knows well about the authoritarian handbook “Project 2025,” that he has been denying any knowledge of for months.

What’s more, his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was also on Fox News touting Trump’s position on the shutdown and the grossly adverse consequences of it. She laid out a threat that is reminiscent of Mafia lingo in a futile attempt to coerce Democrats into submission, saying…

“Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position. And if they don’t want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. It’s very simple.”

Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that Democrats must comply with Trump's demands. This is mob talk: Do what we say and your constituents won't be harmed!Why doesn't Trump agree with Democrats to stop skyrocketing healthcare costs to prevent further harm to his constituents? It's very simple.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T17:03:27.568Z

Maybe Trump and the Republicans are the ones who should reopen the government, since they are the majority party in Congress with the power and obligation to do so. Or are they cool with harming their constituents back home? Clearly it’s the latter. Why else would Trump and company be moving so quickly and gleefully to dispense their harm?

MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

Posted by on October 1, 2025 at 1:39 pm. 0 Comments :

IT’S HERE! The long feared government shutdown has begun. It’s the first one since the last time that Donald Trump was occupying the White House. What does that tell you? And despite all the evidence – including the fact that Republicans control both houses of the legislative branch – Trump and his MAGA cronies are trying desperately to blame it all on Democrats.

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

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

The spin from the GOP is predictably centered on their hateful and racist fixation on immigrants. They are outright lying that Democrats are withholding their votes in order to obtain free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” Never mind that no Democrat is proposing that or even suggesting it as a condition for passage of the budget bill. And Republicans can’t provide any proof of their dishonest claim. Which is typical of the GOP.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares that He Will Not Negotiate with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown, Then Blames Democrats

Surprisingly, on Wednesday morning GOP House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson decided to tell the truth for a change. During an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, Johnson admitted that shutting down the government was a long desired goal of the Republican Party….

Bartiromo: Trump has said that he could use this as an opportunity to further cut government and turn some of those temporary furloughs into permanent job cuts. Speaker, can you assess what you are expecting in terms of the job cuts and how severe they could be?
Johnson: Yes, the president and I talked about this at great length. While, a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we’ve all always wanted to do.

So in a way, Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom to the executive branch under President Trump to do some things that we would not otherwise be able to do because we would never get Democrat votes for them.

Johnson: “While a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we've all always wanted to do.”

Johnson has explicitly stated that the shutdown – and the brutal consequences for the American people – is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.” And he says this even as he acknowledges that it would be “very damaging for real American people.” So clearly he has thought this through.

Johnson went on to praise Russ Vought, a principal author of “Project 2025,” who is now in charge of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, saying that “He gets to decide now what services are essential, what programs and policies should be continued, and which would not be a priority for taxpayers.” It should be comforting to the nation to know that the author of the notorious authoritarian handbook will be making those critical decisions. Although it isn’t any more discomforting than knowing that critical decisions are already being made by Johnson and Trump considering how “unhinged and unwell” Trump is. And Johnson seems to know that too…

WOW, REALLY? In this exchange Mike Johnson…? Doesn't deny that Trump is "unhinged and unwell," just that he thinks some Democrats are too.? Claims he didn't see Trump's deranged speech to an unprecedented gathering of military leaders. Even after it made international news.

For his part, Trump has previously expressed his agreement with what Johnson is saying now. “We can do things during the shutdown,” Trump noted gleefully, “that are irreversible and bad for them like cutting vast numbers of people out.” He’s referring to cutting people out of their healthcare programs. And for some reason Trump seems to think that this will only be bad for Democrats. It won’t be long before he finds out that Independents, and even some Republicans, are also going to be hurt – and pissed off.

Trump Flunky Kari Lake is Blocked From Abolishing Voice of America in Scathing Court Ruling

Posted by on September 30, 2025 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The most media averse president in American history, Donald Trump, has been smacked down in court as his designated regime censor, Kari lake tried to muzzle Voice of America, one of the most effective platforms for American news broadcasts around the world, particularly to countries that shut off free, independent reporting.

Donald Trump

Trump recruited Lake to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) after she lost races for both governor and senator in Arizona. While Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, is strangling free press domestically, Lake is the foreign flank of Trump’s media gagging team. Her electoral defeats triggered some very Trump-like accusations of “rigged” elections and fraud that she was completely unable to prove. So naturally, Trump embraced her and gave her a position in his regime from which she could spew propaganda worldwide. Whereupon she immediately fired hundreds of VOA journalists and replaced them an ultra-MAGA, Trump-fluffing network.

Fortunately, the efforts of Trump and Lake have been stifled by the courts. In a new ruling Lake was chastised for “concerning disrespect” toward the court for failing to produce information about its plans for Voice of America. But it was even worse than that. The judge also scolded Lake’s lawyers saying that they “wasted precious judicial time and resources and readily support contempt proceedings.” As reported by CNN…

“A federal judge agreed Monday to temporarily suspend the Trump administration’s plan to eliminate hundreds of jobs at the agency that oversees Voice of America, the government-funded broadcaster founded to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, D.C., ruled that the US Agency for Global Media cannot implement a reduction in force eliminating 532 jobs for full-time government employees on Tuesday. Those employees represent the vast majority of its remaining staff.”

This ruling follows a previous judgment wherein Lamberth halted Lake’s attempt to fire VOA director, Michael Abramowitz. And for the record, Lamberth is not some “radical” jurist (as Lake called him). He was nominated to the bench by conservative Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1987.

The USAGM oversees multiple international broadcasting networks, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), Radio Television Martí, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN), and the Voice of America (VOA). Their broadcasts are heard around the world in an effort to extend US influence and combat authoritarianism.

No wonder Trump hates it. Anything that would interfere with his own aspirations of authoritarianism triggers his wrath. He is employing methods that he’s learned from his idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and others who have suppressed free speech in their countries.

That’s why Trump has been busy banishing media outlets that dare to challenge him from the White House press corps. He is also suing news organizations for billions of dollars. And he’s even trying to force comedians off the air (Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, etc.) for telling jokes about him. Before he’s done, Putin and the others will be taking lessons in authoritarianism from him.

Wannabe King Trump Threatens New Yorkers to Vote Against Mamdani or Suffer His Wrath

Posted by on September 29, 2025 at 10:38 am. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump isn’t doing much to dispel the notion that he is an aspiring authoritarian who yearns to reign like the dictators he admires, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. To the contrary, he keeps providing additional evidence of his autocratic tendencies, even as he whines about being called a fascist.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

This week Trump directed his “Justice” Department to indict former FBI Director, James Comey, despite having no evidence of any crime. He deployed his StormTrumpers to Portland, Oregon, promising to use “full force” against the American citizens living there. He delivered an absolutely bonkers address at the United Nations where he told other member nations that “your countries are going to hell,” and complained about alleged sabotage of his escalator ride and TelePrompTer. This is not normal behavior for a president – or anyone else.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

On Monday morning Trump upped the ante of presidential idiocy by issuing a threat to the people of New York City. He posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was rife with animus and imaginary invectives. He raged that…

“Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT”

Let’s begin to break this down by noting that Mamdani is not now, nor has ever been, a communist. And he has certainly never self-proclaimed to be one. Trump likely couldn’t define the word if his life depended on it. But he uses it as an all-purpose slur to fear monger his weak willed cult followers. And if he really thought that this “will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party,” he would keep his fat mouth shut. Obviously, he is scared witless of Mamdani and the Democrats in the Empire State.

More to the point, Trump is threating the citizens of New York with unspeakable harm if they choose to exercise their right to vote, but fail to select the candidate of Trump’s choice. His threat violates several federal statutes that prohibit him from abusing the power of his office to intimidate or punish people for how they vote. The Constitution also forbids him from misappropriating funds based on political criteria.

This is just another act of pure totalitarianism for Trump as he tries to interfere with an election by promising to withhold federal funds. Those funds would be used to pay for many critical services in the city and the state, including Medicaid, transportation, infrastructure, safety net services, education, healthcare, and more. He wants all New Yorkers to suffer if they do not obey his electoral demands.

This is a particularly grotesque threat considering that New York is a “donor” state, meaning that it pays more into the federal treasury every year than it gets back. That’s about $89 billion more. And yet, Trump thinks that he can punish New Yorkers by denying them these funds as if they came out of his own pocket. In reality, they come from New Yorkers themselves. Maybe they should withhold those funds from Trump’s regime in Washington.

This should not be considered just a threat toward New York. If Trump thinks he can do this to NYC, then he could try to do it to any city or state that doesn’t bend to his fascist will. And submitting to threats like this will only embolden him and his criminally dictatorial bullying. He cannot be allowed to blackmail voters.

We have a process for choosing representatives in America It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution. But “we the people” do care. And he had better learn that lesson.
