Trump Derangement Surfaces in Two Truth Social Posts that Are Utterly Insane (More than Usual)

Posted by on October 12, 2025 at 12:34 pm. 3 Comments :

Anyone who has been paying attention is well aware of the cognitive dysfunction of Donald Trump. His incoherent responses to simple questions, and the rambling oratories such as those he delivered at the United Nations and the Navy anniversary event, would be enough to commit an ordinary person to an institution.

Donald Trump, Padded Cell

Trump manages to turn every public comment or address into a pleading for adoration, a blathering expression of victimhood, or a vicious attack on his many perceived enemies. He spent the week prior to the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize lobbying for himself to receive the honor. Never mind that the reasons against it are too numerous to list in full.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Sunday morning Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to provide additional proof (as if it were necessary) of his rapidly declining mental acuity. They were the sort of outbursts that one might expect to come from a man on a street corner shouting at cars about the end of the world. Trump began with a pre-dawn diatribe lashing out at…well, as it turns out, himself:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

The first problem with that rant is that on January 6, 2021, Trump was still president. Joe Biden was not inaugurated until January 20. So it was Trump’s FBI, including the Bureau’s director, Christopher Wray, whom he appointed three and half years prior, that would have placed any agents in the crowd of insurrectionists.

What’s more, the story that Trump is telling has already been debunked by his own current FBI director, Kash Patel. Trump raised this issue last month after reading a story about it in the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” He alleged that the FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” But that was after Patel had told Fox News that “While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd.”

If it isn’t bad enough that Trump has apparently forgotten when he was president, his other comment on Sunday morning exposed another fallacious framing of reality. He raged that…

“The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam ‘Schiffty’ Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT”

REALLY? Trump is now asserting that Watergate – the well documented scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, and the conviction of 48 of his White House staffers, including his Chief of Staff and Attorney General – was an “illegal Hoax.” That’s a new angle for Trump. Although he might want to reconsider associating his own impeachable offenses with Watergate. Because if Watergate was not a hoax, which it wasn’t, then neither is Trump’s impeachment.

Trump went on to make another wholly unfounded accusation against Sen. Adam Schiff. As in the past, Trump neglects to offer any evidence of the dishonesty or corruption that he alleges. However, Sen. Schiff was one of three persons on Trump’s enemies list that he recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to prosecute. And two of them, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey, have been indicted. So is Sen. Schiff next?

At any other time in America’s history, the behavior that Trump exhibits would result in impeachment or invocation of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office. He would already have been committed to an institution. The only question would be whether that would be a penal or mental institution. Perhaps the prison’s mental ward would be the best option.

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.

Trump’s Lies About FBI Provocateurs on January 6th are Debunked by His Own FBI Chief Kash Patel

Posted by on September 28, 2025 at 11:02 am. 1 Comments :

Four and a half years after Donald Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., where his devoted cult followers stormed the Capitol, assaulted police officers, threatened the lives of members of Congress (and his own vice-president), he is still manufacturing lies to rewrite history, absolve himself of guilt, and blame the victims for his violent attack on American democracy.

Donald Trump Insurrection

This week there were reports published that accused the FBI of inserting undercover agents into the MAGA mob on January 6th to provoke the hostilities encouraged by their Dear Leader Trump. Those reports were published by a notoriously dishonest “news” outlet founded by conspiracy crackpot Glenn Beck. And naturally, Trump latched onto the story to advance his unrelenting litany lies about the horrific event, to demean the law enforcement institutions that he despises, and to exonerate the 1,500+ rioters that he pardoned.

SEE THIS: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump took a bold stance in support of lawlessness and cop beatings. He regurgitated the spurious allegations against the FBI as if they were facts saying that…

“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax.”

What Trump asserts was “just revealed” were unfounded allegations published by the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” And his description of the violent insurrection as “the January 6th Hoax” furthers his dishonest efforts to portray the well documented treason as some sort of myth. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’ I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ‘Agents’ are, and what they were up to on that now ‘Historic” Day.'”

Trump doesn’t bother to specify how Wray’s account of events was “different” or untrue. But Trump does unload some lies of his own, alleging that FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” Trump only wants to know who the falsely accused agents are so that he can continue his crusade of retribution, which was recently escalated with his indictment of former FBI Director, James Comey.

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

Not surprisingly, Trump was entirely wrong. The agents were not there prior to the violence. Nor were they “acting as Agitators.” And as it turns out, the depths of his departure from reality were exposed by his own FBI director, Kash Patel in a story published by Fox News. No, really…

“The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital.” […]

“‘Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,’ Patel told Fox News Digital. ‘This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.'”

So the truth is that the FBI agents that were there were not “undercover.” And they were only there to attempt to quell the disturbance and prevent further lawlessness. And it’s likely they were sent because Trump was doing absolutely nothing about it (other than watching from the White House with glee). No FBI agents were assigned to, nor participated in, events that contributed to or exacerbated the riots incited by Trump.

That’s according to Kash Patel. Who also says that the deployment of FBI agents in response to the riots was “the failure of a corrupt leadership.” For the record, the leadership of the FBI at the time was Wray, the Trump-appointed director of the Bureau and, of course, Trump himself, who was still president until January 20.

Furthermore, neither Trump nor Patel cited any statements by Wray to Congress that were untruthful. They made ambiguous and baseless statements about Wray’s testimony where he denied any activity by agents that provoked the riots. Which was true. But that didn’t stop Trump and Patel from asserting that some unspecified falsehood was made anyway.

What’s more, in a bizarre twist, the insurrection that Trump has denied took place, or was just a bunch of peaceful, patriotic tourists, he is now admitting was a horrendous breach of the law perpetrated by the FBI over which he presided, and his faithful followers.

This is standard operating procedure for the Trump regime. Make false allegations against your political foes, back them up with stories from partisan rags, and shamelessly disseminate those lies to the media. However, in this case, they failed to coordinate their propaganda, and the result is that Patel is actually contradicting his boss in the White House. Which is an example of another trait of Trump World in addition to its dishonesty: Incompetence. For which, in a painfully ironic way, we should be grateful.

Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant. So He Flipped on Epstein to Save Himself?

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

For several weeks the top story in the news has been how Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP have refused to release the Jeffrey Epstein files that are in the custody of the Justice Department. And for several weeks Trump has whined that it is an irrelevant subject that should be ignored in favor of the glassy-eyed praise that he believes he is due for merely existing.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

In the midst of this controversy, some of Epstein’s victims held a press conference in Washington on Wednesday to advocate for the release of the files, and accountability for the predators who patronized him and the politicians who continue to protect him. And still, Trump can’t understand why the media isn’t fixated on his divine magnificence.

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

One of the pro-Trump pols who is a longtime member of the Trump Cult, Nancy Mace, was observed on Tuesday leaving a closed-door session on Capitol Hill, during which some members of the House Oversight Committee heard testimony from Epstein’s victims. Mace reportedly had tears in her eyes and later posted a comment on Twitter/X saying that…

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.”

That’s seems like a heartfelt reaction by someone who has suffered a similar abusive experience. The problem is that Mace is still an apologist for the vile sex offender Trump, who she believes to be as pure as the Virgin Mary. With regard to Trump and Epstein, she told reporters that…

“Donald Trump is the one who banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant, and he talked to the feds to get this guy turned over. So Donald Trump is a hero in this.”

WHUT? Nancy Mace says Trump was "an FBI informant"?That would mean that Trump had incriminating info about Epstein. Which sounds like he was Epstein's partner or client and "talked to the feds" to avoid prosecution. He's no hero. If he were, he'd have released those files long ago.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-03T08:52:43.300Z

A “hero”? That would be like calling Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, who committed at least 19 murders, a hero for turning state’s evidence against his boss, Mafia kingpin John Gotti. What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn’t involved in some way?

Mace is introducing the possibility that Trump turned state’s evidence against Epstein in order to save himself. Which sounds like he could have been Epstein’s partner or client and “talked to the feds” to avoid prosecution. He’s no hero. If he were, he’d have released those files long ago so that he could bask in the glory of his heroics.

Meanwhile, as Epstein’s victims were speaking out, Trump was calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he exalted himself with his totally fake “Seven Wars Hoax,” that he claims are conflicts that he prevented or ended, but which he generally brings up when he needs to change the subject.

DISGUSTING!As Epstein's victims are speaking out, Trump is calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he's exalting himself with his totally fake "Seven Wars Hoax" in order to change the subject.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-03T17:18:39.337Z

The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.

The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump’s demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.

Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We’ll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP.

UPDATE: GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has joined Mace making the preposterous assertion that Trump was an FBI informant in the probe of Epstein. Both are saying this without a shred of evidence. Both are ignoring that Trump would have to have some knowledge of Epstein’s crimes in order to be an informant. And if it were true, it would be in the files that Trump is so feverishly trying to keep secret.

HOLY SHIH TZU! A couple of days ago, MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace said that Trump was an FBI informant. Which means he had to know about Epstein's crimes. And it would be in the files that he is trying to keep secret. #TrumpEpsteinFilesMORE HERE: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=67342

Trump Accuses the FBI of ‘Corruption’ for Closing the DEI Office that He Promised to Eliminate

Posted by on January 17, 2025 at 1:56 pm. NO Comments :

Psychological academics are going to have a field day researching and analyzing the myriad maladies that have plagued Donald Trump. His malignant narcissism, pathological lying, and delusions of grandeur will be just the appetizer in the bonkers banquet that Trump will serve up for history.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, MAGA

Trump is a bundle of raw nerves that are sparking wildly. Nothing triggers him like atrocities that he has previously embraced, or blessings that he previously condemned. He rambles incoherently on subjects ranging from Hannibal Lecter to being devoured by sharks. He is obsessed with authoritarian aspirations inspired by his heroes, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. And he is a treasure trove of hyperactive hypocrisies.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane

Trump provided a convenient example of his neuroses Friday morning in a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was suffering another hissy fit over something that he considered to be an intolerable offense to humanity. So he furiously typed out – or more likely dictated – his dyspeptic diatribe saying that…

“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago. Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!”

It must be comforting to the current staff at the FBI that Trump regards them as corrupt. And they were already probably worried about his nominee to lead the Bureau, Kash Patel, who has zero experience managing a large law enforcement agency, and has declared that he would abuse his power to go after an enemies list of Trump critics.

What Trump was referring to in his post was a report that the Office of Diversity within the FBI would be shutting down prior to his inauguration. As reported by Mediaite…

“’In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,’ The FBI said in a statement to Fox News”

Notice that Trump was mistaken, as usual, about the office being shut down “one day before the Inauguration.” The article that he himself cited stated that the closure was announced a month ago. What’s more, Trump’s “demand” to preserve records was a meaningless outburst since all such government documents are routinely retained.

More troubling is Trump’s accusation that the FBI was plotting some sort of nefarious scheme connected to the Bureau’s office tasked with the “corrupt” responsibility of insuring equal opportunity and non-discrimination for all employees and applicants. What an awful objective for any civic enterprise to be undertaking. Trump and his MAGA minions have long opposed DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion), and have endeavored to eliminate all traces of it.

MORE HERE: Trump Insults America and its Justice Institutions as ‘SCUM’ Just Weeks Before His Inauguration

Nevertheless, it was that mission on the FBI’s part that infuriated Trump. And he wasn’t going to take it lying down. He labeled it “CORRUPTION,” that the Bureau would dare to shut the office down now. Never mind that that is precisely what Trump himself had promised to do during his campaign when he said nearly a year ago that on day one of his administration all “staff, offices, and initiatives” connected to the “un-American policy will be immediately terminated.” Mediaite elaborated saying that…

“Trump has previously signaled that he would seek to ban DEI in both the federal government and the private sector, labelling the programs ‘anti-white racism.’

“‘I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country and that can’t be allowed,’ the former president told Time magazine in May.

So to summarize, Trump is upset that the FBI’s equal opportunity office, that he said was anti-white racism, did exactly what he wanted them to do, which was corrupt, and they did it on the eve of his inauguration, that he seems to think was last December, and therefore, they must be ordered to retain documents that always retain anyway.

Okay. Got it! And this is the “stable genius” that the MAGA cult elected and who on Monday will be taking the oath of office that he has previously breached. Buckle up America.

Trump Insults America and its Justice Institutions as ‘SCUM’ Just Weeks Before His Inauguration

Posted by on January 2, 2025 at 1:00 pm. NO Comments :

The new year is less than two days old and Donald Trump is already demonstrating that he has no comprehension whatsoever of how the people of America feel, or what the nation needs during challenging times. When most Americans are still wrapped up in the warmth and hopefulness of the holidays, Trump is affirming that he has nothing but disgust for the country that he is supposedly about to take charge of.

Donald Trump

There has never been a president who has been so openly disdainful of the country as Donald Trump. He never misses an opportunity to disparage the nation’s institutions and leaders. He regards them as incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, and determined to destroy him personally. He sees everything the government does as a conspiracy against him. Even on holidays, he doesn’t get a minute’s rest from his paranoid delusions.

SEE THIS: Trump Spends New Year’s Eve Whining About Whether the Senate Will Confirm His Noxious Nominees

So it should come as no surprise that Trump spent the days following New Year’s furiously flinging his middle finger at the country for offenses that exist only in his Neanderthal neuroses. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was drenched in the derangement of his malignant narcissism. In a post-midnight tirade, he raged that…

“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when’s you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership.”

Oh? So this is what happens “when’s” you have open borders? No wonder the country is a laughing stock. It has just reelected a clown who can’t speak the language. He also can’t tell the truth about anything. There is not now, and never has been, open borders in America. And undocumented border crossings have declined under President Biden to levels lower than during the first Trump administration. But Trump was just getting warmed up. He continued…

“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt.”

Trump’s open hostility toward the nation’s Justice Department and law enforcement ought to have disqualified him from reoccupying the White House. And for the record, the current Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, was appointed by Trump. But in his mind he has a good reason for this rancor. He says that it’s because they have…

“…spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.”

Really? Does Trump actually believe that the DoJ and the FBI have spent “all of their waking hours” attacking him? Trump’s persecution complex may be even more gargantuan than his ego. And does he think that calling “all aspects of our government” “SCUM” is going to endear him to the administrators of the law and civil services that he thinks he will be managing?

Trump closed by saying that “Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.” But he doesn’t say for what. Perhaps it is for not being more aggressive in prosecuting him for his crimes. He also said that “The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late.” Who is going to tell him that the CIA is prohibited from being involved in domestic law enforcement and politics? However, there is one thing that Trump got right. He said that…

“The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.”

That’s true. Because “this is what happens when’s you have” MAGA-driven totalitarians who crave unchallenged power, and despise democracy, threatening their political foes and the free press. Somehow, this country needs to find a way to survive the anti-American aspirations of the incoming American president. Although he’s making it somewhat easier by being so open about his treasonous ways.

Trump’s Free Press? His FBI Flunky Kash Patel Threatens to ‘Come After the People in the Media’

Posted by on December 1, 2024 at 12:54 pm. 1 Comments :

It is becoming more apparent every day that Donald Trump has abandoned any pretense of presidential leadership or responsible governing, He is now fully committed to a juvenile campaign of trolling his perceived enemies, “owning the libs,” and exacting retribution for wrongs he believes he has suffered.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Constitution

What else could explain the collection of crackpots that Trump has nominated to positions of considerable power in his emerging administration? It is no wonder that Trump is refusing to allow his nominees to undergo FBI background checks. So far the weirdo roster includes a brain-wormed, anti-vax, conspiracy theorist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, to run the Department of Health and Human Services, a blatantly unqualified, sexual deviant, Pete Hegseth, as Defense Secretary, and an alleged pedophile with no legal experience, Matt Gaetz, (who has already been dropped for being even too ridiculous for the MAGA-philes) for Attorney General? The only apparent prerequisite for a job in Trump’s White House is unflinching adoration for Trump and an apprenticeship at Fox News.

SEE THIS: Trump is Stacking His Cabinet with Fox News Trump-Fluffers

However, Trump may have outdone himself with his latest proposed nominee. He is putting the name of Kash Patel up to be the Director of the FBI. As usual, Patel has little to no experience for the job he is being tasked to preform. What he has is an extraordinarily brown nose and a record of performing any evil or illegal stunt that Trump asks of him. That includes being a relentless election denier, covering up Trump’s theft of classified documents, and being an accomplice in Trump’s attempts to stage a violent coup on January 6, 2021.

There are a multitude of examples of Patel’s manifest unsuitability to serve in the upper echelon of federal legal affairs. But one particular example stands out. During an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Patel spoke about what he would do if put in a position of power. And it had nothing to do with fighting crime or making the nation safer. He ranted that…

“We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you. Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But, yeah, we’re putting you all on notice. And this is why they hate us. This is why we’re tyrannical. This is why we’re dictators.”

Yes, indeed. That IS why they are tyrannical dictators. Patel’s first priority is to persecute the free press that accurately reported on Trump’s serial criminal activities. This would be an implementation of Trump’s visceral hatred of the free press that he calls “the enemy of the people.” He has already sought to suppress the media by filing innumerable, meritless lawsuits against a variety of news organizations. He has even threatened to revoke the licenses of the networks. Licenses that, by the way, do not exist, so therefore, cannot be revoked. But that doesn’t mean that he can’t do damage in other petulant ways.

In addition to his assaults on the media, Trump intends to retaliate against honorable officers and prosecutors who brought January 6th insurrectionists to justice. He is focused intently on inventing crimes related to Trump’s “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was “rigged.” And he will seek to legally terrorize upstanding FBI operatives who recovered the stolen classified materials that Trump lied about hoarding at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel.

Trump posted his announcement about Patel on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“I am proud to announce that Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. […] He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”

First of all, Trump cannot unilaterally announce that Patel “will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” Only that he is being nominated. The Senate must confirm the nomination before Patel can assume the post. And due to the highly controversial nature of this nomination, there is some doubt as to whether the narrowly divided Senate will provide their consent.

Secondly, Trump’s announcement explicitly cites one of the best reasons to block Patel’s confirmation. The role he played in trying to hide Trump’s unsavory and well documented associations with Russian officials and operatives was arguably as treasonous as Trump’s own actions. There was no “hoax” with regard to Trump and Russia. And Patel didn’t uncover any wrongdoing. He participated in it.

The opposition to Patel’s nomination isn’t coming solely from Democrats. Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said that “The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0.” And Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr wrote in his book that he “categorically opposed making Patel deputy FBI director,” telling Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that it would happen “over my dead body. Someone with no background as an agent would never be able to command the respect necessary to run the day-to-day operations of the bureau.”

It is also notable that for Patel to assume the directorship of the FBI, the current Director, Christopher Wray, would have to resign or be fired by Trump. Wray, by the way, was appointed by Trump in 2017, after he fired James Comey for not sufficiently sucking up. A shortcoming that Wray may soon be punished for by Trump.

The unmistakable path toward tyranny that Trump is traveling should alarm every American who cherishes the principles this nation was founded on. His flagrant efforts to silence the media is his way of insuring that he gets away with his authoritarian takeover. But with the Patel nomination, he may be overreaching. And that could give a couple of Republicans in the Senate the courage to stand up to him and for democracy. And that’s all it would take to sink the nomination of Patel.

Ironically, Trump’s overreach may actually stiffen the spines of Republican senators after they get a taste of independence by rejecting Gaetz and possibly Patel. They may just have the integrity to also ditch Kennedy, Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and some of the other more reprehensible nominees. That may be a lot to hope for, but if we the people make our voices loud enough, they might actually hear us and do the right thing.

Dictator on Day One! Trump Nixes FBI Background Checks for his Unqualified, Anti-American Cabinet

Posted by on November 15, 2024 at 1:32 pm. 5 Comments :

In the heat of the 2024 presidential election season, Donald Trump sat for one of his many tongue bathing “interviews” with Sean Hannity on Fox News. On one particular occasion, Hannity sought to handhold Trump through a controversy wherein he had been accused of aspiring to be a dictator. But true to form, Trump was oblivious to the answers that Hannity tried to pass to him in his questions.

Despite Hannity’s repeated attempts, Trump insisted on expressing his abhorrent authoritarian aspirations. He stubbornly affirmed his deep desire to be a “dictator on day one.” And the limitation of his tyrannical reign to a single day provides little comfort to those who know that dictators never relinquish power voluntarily once they assume it.

SEE THIS: Trump Cloddishly Dodges Hannity’s Softball Questions About Whether He Would Be a Dictator

Validating Trump’s totalitarian tendencies, it is now being reported that he intends to bypass the routine FBI background checks that are conducted on prospective presidential Cabinet candidates. According to CNN…

“President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is?bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some of his Cabinet picks while using private companies to conduct vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs, people close to the transition planning say.

“Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work of implementing his agenda, people briefed on the plans said. Critics say the intrusive background checks sometimes turn up embarrassing information used to inflict political damage.

“The discussions come as Trump has floated several controversial choices for high-level positions in the US government – including Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence.”

There are reasons that the FBI has been tasked with these background checks for decades. The positions that Cabinet heads hold grant them access to sensitive national security information. If they are compromised in any way it could make them vessels for foreign agents to acquire classified data, or even make them vulnerable to blackmail attempts. And that’s presuming that they aren’t purposefully acting on behalf of enemy regimes.

So why would Trump want to forego background checks on his nominees? Does he know something about them that we don’t? Are his own motives suspect? Even if they are not themselves foreign assets, do they have connections that would be concerning? Could they be unwitting dupes?

These are all questions that take on extraordinary significance when Trump himself has been so chummy with foreign despots like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Viktor Orbán, and Kim Jong Un. Will those questions be asked? Will Trump be able to delay the process until he is able to install his own nominee for FBI director (possibly Trump flunky, Kash Patel)?

Many of Trump’s nominees to date have glaring issues that would raise red flags in any probe for security clearances. His attorney general nominee, Matt Gaetz, has been credibly accused of sex trafficking of a minor and illicit drug use. His Health and Human Services nominee, Robert Kennedy Jr, is a serial adulterer with a dead worm in his brain who holds crackpot conspiracy theories regarding medicine and vaccines. His nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has advocated bombing Iran and North Korea and argued in support of war criminals. His nominee for director of national security, Tulsi Gabbard, has ties with Putin and Russia.

What they all have in common is a worshipful cult attachment, and unwavering loyalty, to Trump, and no experience whatsoever in the jobs that he is proposing they fill. If it were Trump’s mission to undermine the stability of the United States, he couldn’t have picked a better team. So naturally, he wouldn’t want any of his co-conspirators to be subject to scrutiny.

Trump has been angling to give his nominees “recess appointments” so that they can bypass the Senate hearings as well. Hopefully Republicans in the Senate will grow a spine and insist that these nominees be required to submit to both background checks and Senate hearings. But resting our hopes on the strength of GOP spines is not exactly reassuring.

This leaves any hopes of preserving our democracy to Democrats, who are in the minority in both houses of Congress, and the media, who have been grossly deficient in their duty to inform. Which means that the only remaining path to salvation rests with the people. Are we up to it? We better be!

Newsmax Lies that FBI Planted Evidence at Mar-a-Lago – Trump Posts it and Misspells His Own Name

Posted by on June 26, 2024 at 2:58 pm. 2 Comments :

Two years ago the FBI executed a legal search warrant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bunker, seeking classified materials that he stole when he left the White House. The warrant was served after more than a year of haggling with Trump who blatantly lied to the FBI about the documents he still had.

Donald Trump

Somehow, Trump is still obsessed with what he calls a “raid” at his home, despite the fact that the FBI recovered hundreds of top secret items that Trump said he didn’t have. So on the day before the much anticipated debate with President Biden, Trump leans on a new story by the propaganda purveyors at Newsmax, the MAGA-fied network that recently sought to dox the jurors at Trump’s “Hush Money” trial…

SEE THIS: Newsmax Host Berates Jurors for Not Exposing Themselves to Deadly Threats From the Trump Cult

The story that Newsmax reported was based on the release of new photographs that the FBI took during the Mar-a-Lago search. They showed the boxes of highly sensitive materials strewn out in disarray with the contents spilling onto the floor and mixed in with personal items such as golf shirts and diet soda cans.

Newsmax host Greg Kelly was appalled. But not because of the breach of national security or Trump’s violation of the law. He launched into a preposterous rant accusing the FBI of planting the classified documents. Never mind that he had no factual basis whatsoever for that accusation. He went to say that the FBI is “a thoroughly corrupt organization,” and he recklessly slandered special counsel Jack Smith for “CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.”

Kelly’s tirade caught the attention of Trump who shortly thereafter posted it on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. But he was so frazzled with fury that the “stable genius,” who isn’t at all mentally failing, actually misspelled his own name

Greg Kelly, Newsmax: “This is out and out corruption. It’s the worst thing the FBI can do. The FBI BROUGHT IN papers in order to take out President Trump. They BROUGHT IN scandalous looking material TO TRY TO GET DONALD TTUMP IN TROUBLE, FALSELY. There is no doubt, the FBI is a thoroughly corrupt organization, which cannot be trusted.”

Newsmax ought to be more careful about slinging obviously defamatory lies around. They have already been sued for having done so previously. And they are clearly nervous about getting caught doing it again. They recently conducted a phone interview with Trump wherein they displayed a chyron that read “Newsmax Accepts the 2020 Election Results as Legal and Final.” That was in anticipation that Trump would again peddle his “Big Lie” about having lost in 2020.

For some reason Newsmax was concerned about not being held liable for that falsehood. But they are apparently not concerned about falsely accusing the FBI agents who conducted the search of serious criminal activities.

The fact that Newsmax would put out a story like this without a shred of evidence to support it confirms that it is not really a news network at all. And Trump hyping the fake story confirms that he is scared witless of the potential consequences he faces for all of his pending criminal cases.

While none of that really seems sufficient to justify the stupidity of both Newsmax and Trump for clinging to such a crackpot conspiracy theory, it is sufficient to establish the degree of desperation that they are suffering. Just the notion that they believe that this benefits them in any way is pathetic in the extreme. But then, it’s all they have left.

Fox News Fans the Flaming Lie that Biden Sought to Assassinate Trump During Search of Mar-a-Lago

Posted by on May 22, 2024 at 2:15 pm. 5 Comments :

Now that the attorneys in the so-called “Hush Money” trial of Donald Trump (more accurately, the falsifying business records and election interference trial) have rested their cases, the disinformation agents working to exonerate Trump in the court of public opinion are preparing for the potentiality of Trump’s conviction.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

Consequently, the MAGA cult operatives are now anxiously deploying en masse to muddy up the discourse with their contrived narratives in order to deflect from the bad news that they seem to anticipate. And they don’t care how preposterous or unbelievable their distractions are. In fact, the more ridiculous the better for purposes of misdirection and evasion. That accounts for absurdities…

SUCH AS THIS: Fox News Floats Conspiracy Theory that Biden is Plotting to Assault Trump to Avoid Debating Him

However, if you think that’s as far as the Trumpists could go, you are vastly underestimating their derangement, and that of those they are trying to reach. On Monday new evidence of Trump’s involvement in stealing and hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago bunker was released.

While the new evidence further incriminates Trump, it also included a more detailed description of the search warrant granted to the FBI to search Trump’s Palm Beach home/hotel. In that description was standard boilerplate language about the possible use of force that exists in virtually every federal search warrant.

But leave it to the Trump cult to focus obsessively on that technicality and try to turn it into a controversy. Their interpretation became that this language was uniquely applied to Trump and amounted to – get this – an intention by Biden to assassinate him. Trump himself commented on this nonsense in a post on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, raving that…

“WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE. NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT!”

Nearly every word of that is an outright lie. Biden had nothing to do with the trial in Manhattan, and it isn’t a “Witch Hunt.” Nor was the search of Mar-a-Lago “Illegal and UnConstitutional.” And none of that would suggest any mental unfitness of Biden, or trigger invoking the 25th Amendment. But when did Trump ever let reality interfere with his rancid yammering?

Likewise, it doesn’t stop his sycophants (e.g. Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, etc.) from joining in. And for good measure, Trump is already incorporating this malarkey into his fundraising. Unfortunately, his grasp of the English languish is distorting his message…

No one will be surprised to learn that that Fox News is fully on board with the accusations that Biden was plotting to off Trump. For example, Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, covered the matter by saying that…

“Trump calling out President Biden after learning that his administration authorized the use of deadly force during the FBI’s 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago during the classified documents probe. According to this filing, the DoJ and the FBI agents planned to bring standard issue weapons, ammunition, handcuffs, and medium and large size bolt cutters.”

To her credit, Bartiromo also read the FBI’s statement that…

“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force. No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter.”

But to her shame, Bartiromo immediately ignored her own reporting to complain that the FBI and the Democrats were calling Trump a threat to democracy, “but Biden is authorizing deadly force against his political opponent?” She knows perfectly well that Biden didn’t do that. She just read the FBI’s statement herself.

Bartiromo wasn’t the only Fox News hack furthering these lies. Jesse Watters did the same on his program, saying that “the Biden administration authorized the ‘use of deadly force’ during the Mar-A-Lago raid,” and that it was “A major bombshell in the Trump documents case.” Actually, it wasn’t. And former Florida Attorney General and Special Advisor to Trump, Pam Bondi, said on Fox & Friends that “Nothing about this is normal.” Actually, it was all normal.

So in order to counter-program the coming verdict in Trump’s “Hush Money” case, Fox News and his cult cronies have manufactured this utterly insane allegation that Biden was plotting to assassinate Trump. Never mind that the search warrant lingo was routine, the FBI behaved appropriately, and Trump wasn’t even there.

UPDATE: The standard “use of force” language was also in search warrants for Biden’s homes. So apparently Biden was also plotting to assassinate – himself?

What makes this extraordinarily ludicrous is that Trump currently has a case pending before the Supreme Court wherein he is claiming to have “presidential immunity,” which doesn’t exist in the law or the Constitution. His attorneys have argued that such immunity would give any president, including Biden, the right to assassinate a political opponent with impunity.

If the Court comes down on Trump’s side (heaven forbid), then he can’t complain if Biden actually does try to kill him. Not that Biden would ever contemplate such a thing. But it’s emblematic of Trump’s thinking that is notoriously devoid of reason.
