Trump’s New Campaign Slogan Inspired By His Angry Debate Act: ‘There’s Nothing to Smile About’

Posted by on September 12, 2024 at 1:56 pm. 2 Comments :

The 2024 presidential election provides what may be the most stark contrast between candidates that the American people have ever seen. On one hand we have Kamala Harris, who will become the nation’s first woman president, running on a platform of reverence for democracy, commitment to the working class, strong diplomatic alliances, and a national sense of harmony and joy. On the other hand, we have Donald Trump.

Donald Trump with sign: There's Nothing To Smile About

Trump has carefully constructed a public image that is best represented by his persistently scowling visage. He wears it like a mask to convey to his glassy-eyed cult followers what he thinks is strength, while simultaneously whining about what a pitiful victim he is of his multitude of foes.

SEE THIS: Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President

In the wake of Trump’s disastrous debate debacle, he has been consumed by the broadly agreed upon consensus that he lost to Harris, due primarily to his seething rage and utter contempt for the truth. For an hour and half, when he wasn’t outright lying about nonsense like pet cuisine, he was yelling about “millions and millions” of immigrant prisoners and mental patients pouring into, and destroying, the country. Never mind that the country is thriving, in part due to contributions from immigrants.

On Thursday morning Trump took to his failing social media scam, Truth Social, to continue his post-debate meltdown. After being critically reviewed as a loser by everyone from Taylor Swift to Fox News, Trump obliviously declared that he was actually the winner, saying in part that…

“I won the Debate, but was criticized by the Radical Left Lunatics because I looked “angry and forceful.” But think, why wouldn’t I be angry? I love the U.S.A., and it is being destroyed by grossly incompetent leadership. […] Am I supposed to be smiling, like Comrade Kamala Harris, with her FAKE one-and-a-half hour smile and long practiced facial expressions? […] No, there’s nothing to smile about!”

And there you have it. Trump’s shiny, new, inspiring campaign slogan for 2024: “There’s Nothing To Smile About!” That should motivate his StormTrumpers to the polls in November. Just like all of the other successful campaigns that relied on dystopian delusions and fear mongering. Remember Ronald Reagan scaring his supporters to the polls by threatening “Morning in America”? Or Barack Obama’s frightening chants of “Hope and Change”?

Trump’s new mantra was conceived to counter the impression he left as a cantankerous crybaby. And in furtherance of that goal, he is also demonstrating his distance from sanity by declaring that “I won the debate,” despite the reviews of those who reside in the real world.

What’s more, Trump took a swipe at Harris, who he has criticized for the unforgivable sin of laughing. Now he is also condemning her for the horror of smiling and daring to permit her face to have expressions (you know, like a human being), rather than his practice of plastering on a sneer that would give children nightmares for weeks.

The closer it gets to election day, the more of this malarkey we can expect from Trump and his MAGA minions. And it will only get worse as his electoral prospects decline. Which, if he continues to have maniacal outbursts like these, is a near certainty. The only question now is whether Trump can maintain some cognitive functionality until November 5th. I wouldn’t put money on it if he keeps doing stuff like this…

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

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

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

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Debate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on September 9, 2024 at 12:52 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Donald Trump Zombie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on September 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Click here to Tweet this article

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on September 6, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 0 Comments :

There a lot of important issues to be addressed in this election season. They include abortion, immigration, the economy, gun safety, and the climate crisis. And due to Donald Trump’s overt authoritarian aspirations, even the stability of American democracy is up for debate.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Pervert

Trump, however, is focused on an entirely different set of priorities, ranging from his obsessive delusions of the 2020 election being “rigged and stolen” from him, to fear mongering about migrant criminals, creeping communism, and World War III. It’s a basket of deplorable nonsense that he is desperately struggling to stir up into some sort of manufactured, existential threat. But he just ends up making himself look ever more deranged.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

On Friday morning Trump called a press conference (although he left without taking any questions), to discuss his appeal of the civil judgment against him for defaming and sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. It’s an appeal that has no rational legal basis and is likely to be quickly dismissed. It’s just another attempt on Trump’s part to throw a monkey wrench into the judicial process, and to delay any possible legal consequences for his wrongdoing.

A more interesting question is, why is he making such a public display of this matter now? The only foreseeable result is that it will remind the American people that he is a flaming misogynist and an adjudicated rapist who defamed his victim. Is this really the subject that he wants on the minds of voters a few days before his debate with Kamala Harris, and just two months before Election Day?

Apparently so. Despite the memories that Trump is reviving, he still felt compelled to complain about some vaguely referenced folks who he believes were rude in some unexplained way to judges that he admired. Specifically, Palm Beach Trump flunky, Aileen Cannon. And to that end he whined that those critics should face legal consequences for daring have opinions that he didn’t approve of.

“That’s what the [Department of Defense] should look into. The legality of these people taking a brilliant judge and demeaning her. And taking other people that are fair and solid and demeaning them. It’s called ‘playing the ref.’ Nobody did it better than the late, great Bobby Knight, basketball coach. He would play, he would scream at those refs.’

[…Whereupon Trump goes off script to ramble about Knight for a while, and then…] These people are playing the ref when they are allowed to call for a recusal, impeachment of a judge. Because they’re not getting their way.”

So Trump thinks it should be illegal to criticize judges. Something he does repeatedly. He relentlessly berates them with vicious diatribes, calling them everything from “corrupt” to “deranged,” and even going after their families in a way that put them at risk of harm. He has accused them of being biased, and of coordinating with the White House to destroy him. None of which he can supply any shred of evidence for. And he has also impotently demanded that they be recused and/or impeached when he doesn’t get his way.

To make matters worse, Trump’s remarks during his press avail were profoundly unhelpful to his cause. He insulted his own lawyers as they stood docilly behind him, saying that “I’m disappointed in my legal talent, I’ll be honest with you.” Then he went on to complain that his lawyers didn’t bring up the “Monica Lewinsky type dress,” that never had any relevance to the case. His lawyers must be so proud.

Trump’s cult disciples might not regard what he’s doing as “playing the refs.” They will probably think that he is playing 3D checkers with this preposterously hypocritical harangue. Fine. Maybe Trump thinks so as well. And if he wants to plant in people’s minds the image of him as an abuser of women just prior to the election, I’m all for it. At least it’s the truth.

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

Posted by on September 5, 2024 at 2:04 pm. 1 Comments :

A few short weeks ago, the media was obsessed with questions about age and mental acuity in the realm of politics. That was before President Biden stepped aside and passed the torch to Vice-President Kamala Harris, who has taken the nation by storm. Prior to that, the press was consumed with anxieties over the fitness of an aspiring candidate’s competence to fulfill the responsibilities of the job.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

However, something significant seems to have changed now that Donald Trump is the only 80ish candidate in the race who is showing clear signs of cognitive decline. For some reason the press only regarded that as a problem when Biden was running. Now they are content to ignore the obvious inability of Trump to maintain a stable relationship with reality.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

On Thursday Trump gave a speech before the Economic Club of New York. The substance of his remarks was identical to his cult rallies that are filled with flagrant lies, infantile insults, and slobbering and undeserved exaltations of himself. Perhaps the only difference with this address is that Trump appeared to be nearly catatonic as he slurred his way through his robo-talking points.

At one point Trump was asked a question that ought to have been an easy one for someone so practiced in weaving and dodging to avoid revealing his ignorance. But Trump’s reply was spectacularly incomprehensible. What follows is the entire transcript. And I dare anyone to make any sense of it. The question was: “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, What specific piece of legislation will you advance?” And Trump replied (good luck getting through it)…

“Well, I would do that and we’re sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about that, because the child care is child care. It’s something, you have to have it in this country. You have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not use to, but they’ll get use to it very quickly.

“And it’s not gonna stop them from doing business with us. But they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers we’re talking about, including child care. We’re gonna have, I look forward to having no deficits within a very short period of time. Coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care.

“But those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers I’m talking about, including growth. Growth also headed up by what the plan is I just, that I just told you about. We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in.

“We’re gonna make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people, but we’re gonna take care of our country first. This isn’t about America first. It’s about make America great again. And we have to do it because right now we’re a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it. Thank you.”

Well, that clears that up, doesn’t it? Now we know whether Trump will “commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, What specific piece of legislation [he will] advance.” We can add this to what his running mate, JD Vance, has said about “childless cat ladies” and other anti-Americans who refuse, or are unable, to procreate for the Fatherland. And we can expect the media to inform the public about this detailed policy statement, on such an important matter, by the GOP candidate for president. Right? RIGHT???

BLAME AMERICA FIRST: Fox News Attacks U.S. in Response to Reports of Russian Election Interference

Posted by on September 4, 2024 at 1:31 pm. 2 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump became a candidate for political office, he has had the distinction and disgrace of garnering support from shady characters affiliated with some of America’s most virulent enemies. In both 2016 and 2020, Trump’s campaigns were aided by his pal and idol, Vladimir Putin, who took an active role in efforts to undermine American democracy.

Fox News Commies

The 2024 presidential election is expected to have some of those same nefarious players on Trump’s team. Their unambiguous purpose is to bolster Trump’s electoral aspirations, while torpedoing Kamala Harris with slanderous lies and wholly fabricated allegations. Since they can’t find anything honest and substantive to criticize her for, they resort to pure fiction and fear mongering.

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

On Wednesday reports emerged about Russia’s continuing efforts to interfere in American elections. However, these latest reports reveal that the U.S. government is doing something affirmative about it. As reported by MSNBC…

“The Biden administration is taking a series of actions to target what they allege are Russian-backed actors to manipulate public opinion here in the U.S. ahead of the presidential election, according to two senior U.S, officials. […]

“[Ken Dilanian:] This is being described as a whole of government action designed to target Russian propaganda and disinformation aimed at interfering in the 2024 election. It’s said to include sanctions by the Treasury Department, law enforcement action by the Justice Department, and one of the focuses is on [Russian-funded propaganda network] RT [that] was tagged back in 2017 as a vehicle for Russian disinformation and election interference. And at that time the government required RT to register as a foreign agent.”

This news isn’t exactly groundbreaking because we know that Russia has been doing this for years, with the knowledge, approval, and even coordination with the Trump camp and the GOP. But what makes it even worse is that our foreign foes and their domestic flunkies are aided and abetted by Fox News. When Fox reported these actions by the U.S. against Russia’s interference in our election, their hosts, Harris Faulkner and Steve Hilton, wasted no time in deflecting blame from Russia and casting it on America (video below)….

Faulkner: Just this hour we can confirm that the Biden administration plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 presidential election. And that it will do so using state-run media and other online platforms to target U.S. voters with disinformation. It’s expected that the U.S. will make a series of moves today to address those issues. Talk to me. Why is that suddenly a concern now?
Hilton: That’s the truth about all of this in this world that we live in today, which is you have Iran doing this, you have China doing this, and frankly, we do it to other countries as well. […] Yet, just at this time, the Biden-Harris administration raises the specter once again of Russian interference. […]
Faulkner: That’s such a great question. And it’s contextually very important. We have 51 intelligence agents agree to the fact that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn’t real.

Rather than express outrage that Russia is once again trying to undermine American democracy, Faulkner’s immediate reaction was to cast suspicion on the U.S. for doing something about it. As if taking action while the election is in progress and vulnerable to Russia’s tactics is in itself evil. And she reaches back to the irrelevant matter of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Which, by the way, no one ever said wasn’t real. They only said that the hype surrounding it was generated by Russian trolls. Which is true.

Hilton went further down the “Blame America” trail to accuse the FBI, the CIA, and the Department of Justice of being “totally biased and in the tank and trying to stop Donald Trump from being elected.” Then the two of them continued saying that…

Faulkner: It also gives the left that familiar mantra of Russia, Russia, Russia. They’re not gonna concentrate on the areas where our own people fell down on protecting our elections. […]
Hilton: We cannot trust them. We need a complete clear out. They are institutionally corrupted.

So according to these treasonous cretins, evidence of Russia committing crimes against the American people is irrelevant, except as a trigger to attack the U.S. for imaginary election fraud for which they have never been able to produce any proof. In fact, their lies on the subject cost them 3/4 of billion dollars in a defamation settlement. They are so devoted to their anti-American views that they are incapable of defending the nation against foreign enemies. To the contrary, they are driven to malign the U.S. and its institutions.

That is a perspective that runs through the Republican Party and that has been nurtured by Trump’s animosity toward America and his aversion to democracy. It would make sense for the U.S. government, while slapping sanctions on Russia and its propaganda outlets like RT, to do the same with Fox News. In fact, Fox should have been labeled a foreign agent many years ago.

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

Posted by on September 3, 2024 at 1:35 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Fox News, Kamala Harris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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