SUNDOWNING? Trump’s Acute Paranoia Now Extends to His Own White House Staff and Cabinet

Posted by on May 9, 2026 at 1:40 pm. 0 Comments :

The escalating severity of Donald Trump’s psychoses is presenting the nation and the world with unprecedented risks and challenging options for addressing them. While he has always been a malignant narcissist and pathological liar, he is now exhibiting signs of even more dangerous mental impairments that threaten to undermine American democracy.

Trump Fear

Exacerbating Trump’s declining emotional trauma are the polls showing him at record lows. Those abysmal numbers apply to his overall approval, as well as his handling of virtually every issue of significance to the American people, including the war in Iran, tariffs, healthcare, Social Security, housing, and the economy. And yet he is glaringly delusional as to his standing with the public.

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

This week it became even more obvious how grave Trump’s descent into madness is. He has developed a debilitating case of paranoia. He is suspicious of everyone with whom he comes in contact. And he is convinced that everyone from journalists, to comedians, to politicians, and even his own staff, are plotting to destroy him. But there may be some truth to the old adage that “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean everybody isn’t out to get you.”

One particularly revealing example is that Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, just distributed a memo threatening the entire White House staff to refrain from leaking anything to the press. She wrote that…

“No staff member within the Executive Office of the President is permitted to speak with members of the news media without the explicit approval of the White House Communications Office. […] Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated and are subject to sanction up to and including termination.”

In a hilarious feast of irony, that email was, of course, instantly leaked to the press. Apparently there are moles in the White House. And among them are likely to be Wiles and Trump himself. The Wiles threat memo is a blatant contradiction of the claims by Trump’s communications staff that he is the most transparent president ever. To the contrary, he may be the most secretive. Although he preens before the media scrum with uncommon frequency, that can’t be described as transparency if all he does is lie and dodge. For instance, Trump still refuses to release all of the unredacted Epstein files.

What’s more, Wiles decrees that “Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated.” So then only “authorized leaks” will be allowed? Another way of saying “authorized leaks” is “propaganda.” And the press really should stop disseminating it.

The paranoid state of Trump appears to be serving as a role model for his Cabinet. Last week Trump’s FBI boss, Kash Patel was so outraged by a critical article written about him that he launched an investigation of the author, Sarah Fitzpatrick, and ordered polygraph tests of his senior staff and security detail.

There are additional examples of Trump regime paranoia in his “Justice” Department, where he has directed his Attorneys General (first Pam Bondi and now Todd Blanche) to initiate probes and indictments of anyone who was ever affiliated with an investigation of Trump’s criminal activities, including James Comey, John Brennan, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, and even several members of Congress. He has also orchestrated a massive purge of DoJ lawyers, crippling the Department’s ability to engage in efficient law enforcement.

And through it all, Trump remains focused on the issues that have always mattered most to him – Himself! Although his incompetent attempts at self-exaltation continue to be more humiliating than complimentary…

Trump's post is from a month old poll by the ultra right-wing Napolitan News Service (aka Rasmussen). The question is absurd. Nobody wants Iran to have nukes.In a more recent Napolitan poll, "Only 34% of voters favored the attacks on Iran, while 59% opposed them."

Trump’s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Goes After the Reporter Who Exposed Him as an Incompetent Lush

Posted by on May 6, 2026 at 1:58 pm. 0 Comments :

The vengeance driven retribution campaign of Donald Trump and company has been a prominent feature of his second occupation of the White House. It has placed numerous Democrats, wayward Republicans, and other critics in legal jeopardy just for daring to take honest positions in opposition to Trump and his MAGA cult movement.

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

Among the victims of the Trump regime’s revenge tour have been members of the media that they have attacked both civilly – by filing meritless lawsuits against news organizations – and criminally – by directing his “Justice” Department to prosecute journalists on blatantly phony charges. Most recently Trump’s FBI director, Kash Patel, followed his master’s lead by suing The Atlantic over a story that revealed him to be an incompetent administrator with a serious drinking problem.

SEE THIS: FBI Director Kash Patel Tells Fox News He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over Allegations of His Drinking

The Atlantic’s story profiled Patel’s unseemly behavior, alleging that “He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence.” And that “The problems with his conduct…include both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences.”

Shortly after the article was published, Patel announced on Fox News that he was filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit. But as it turns out, that’s not the only overt act of retaliation that he’s taking. As reported by MS NOW, Patel’s FBI is going after the reporter…

“FBI agents are probing the reporter who wrote a detailed story of Patel’s alleged heavy drinking and erratic behavior.” […]

“The journalist, Sarah Fitzpatrick, cited two dozen anonymous sources in a detailed story reporting that Patel’s alcohol consumption and erratic behavior had caused deep concern among FBI officials. Patel was known to drink to the point of intoxication, she reported, adding that on occasion his security detail had trouble waking him in the morning.”

MS NOW’s reporting noted that such an investigation of Fitzpatrick “could be used by FBI agents to obtain her phone records, run her name and information through FBI databases and examine her social media contacts.” And The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, responded by saying that, “If true, this would be an outrageous, illegal, and dangerous attack on the free press and the First Amendment.”

Indeed. Siccing the FBI on a journalist who wrote a critical article could not be a more egregious breach of the Constitution’s protection of the free press. It’s the sort of thing one might expect of a totalitarian regime like the ones in Russia or North Korea that Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate. But in America it would be a criminal abuse of power that could land Patel in prison.

An FBI spokesperson has denied that any investigation of Fitzpatrick was underway. But given the credibility of statements issued by Trump, or anyone in is administration, it would be fair to take such denials with a pound or two of salt. On the other hand, the reporting by The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick has been impeccable and, to date, unimpeachable.

So you can make your own choice as to who to believe. The highly respected journalist with dozens of knowledgeable sources, or the guy who still says that Trump won the 2020 election, and that the Epstein files contain no evidence of any crimes, and that James Comey’s “8647” seashells were a threat to kill Trump, and that Trump declassified in his mind the documents found at Mar-a-Lago, and that Trump was exonerated of collusion with Russia by the Mueller Report, and any number of other conspiracy theories to which Patel had subscribed?

UPDATE: Following Patel’s harassment of The Atlantic’s reporter, he ordered polygraphs of his own staffers and security detail. He is scared, desperate, and suffering from acute paranoia. Which makes him a danger to democracy.

FBI Director Kash Patel Tells Fox News He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over Allegations of His Drinking

Posted by on April 19, 2026 at 1:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The brief tenure of Kash Patel as Donald Trump’s FBI Director has failed to produce much of anything to brag about. He has humiliated himself and the Bureau with his inappropriate antics in office. Such as his drunken partying with members of the U.S. Olympic Hockey team. Or flying on government jets to see his girlfriend, a country-western singer, in concert.

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

Now Patel is taking on one of Trump’s most recognizable flaws. Throughout his career in both business and politics, Trump has demonstrated his affinity for lawsuits. He has made himself the most litigious president in the history of the United States. Although his legal misadventures usually don’t work out very well for him.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal for Reporting on Him and Epstein is Thrown Out

On Sunday morning’s episode of Maria Bartiromo’s program on Fox News, She invited Patel to come on to respond to some recent accusations of dangerously inappropriate behavior as reported in an extraordinarily well-sourced article in “The Atlantic.” Bartiromo began by asking Patel about the article. Which led to the following exchange…

Patel: Maria, I am happy to announce on your show that we are not going to take this laying down. You want to attack my character? Come at me. Bring it on. I’ll see you in court.
Bartiromo: So you’re gonna sue them?
Patel: Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow
Bartiromo: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?
Patel: Yes I will. For defamation. And for – you know what Maria? – We have to fight back against the fake news…If the fake news Mafia wants to ring their drum beat as loud as they can, they’re never gonna stop me.

BARTIROMO: So you're gonna sue them?KASH PATEL: Absolutely. It's coming tomorrowBARTIROMO: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?PATEL: Yes I will. For defamation

REALLY? It’s good to know that America’s FBI boss is devoting his full attention to the things that matter most to the American people. His pursuit of criminals in the “fake news Mafia” will surely make people feel more safe in their homes and neighborhoods.

Patel is displaying the same sort of fragile ego for which his boss Trump is so well known. And of course, he’s only doing this to please Trump, who is disappointed that there haven’t been more arrests of his political enemies.

However, Patel isn’t helping himself or his reputation. Notice that he never actually denies any of the facts in The Atlantic’s story. What’s more, he’s going to be ripped to shreds during the discovery process if he actually files this lawsuit.

The author of The Atlantic’s article, Sarah Fitzpatrick, did a great job of putting together credible sources, including many from within the FBI. She wrote of Patel that…

“He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence, according to the more than two dozen people I interviewed about Patel’s conduct, including current and former FBI officials, staff at law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, hospitality-industry workers, members of Congress, political operatives, lobbyists, and former advisers.” […]

“They said that the problems with his conduct go well beyond what has been previously known, and include both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences. His behavior has often alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice, even as he won support from the White House…Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government.” […]

“On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials.”

What we learn from The Atlantic’s story is that Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, isn’t the only lush in the Trump administration. Patel is exposed as wholly unfit to serve according to his own staff and security detail. The article reveals the he frequently exhibits severe paranoia with regard to anyone who criticizes him or Trump; that he has led a purge of experienced FBI agents for failing to be sufficiently worshipful of Dear Leader; and that he has jeopardized investigations by publicly releasing information that had not been verified, and was later found to be false.

In other words, Patel is just as unqualified and incompetent as just about every other member of Trump’s Cabinet. And following the recent firings of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, it may be Patel who is next in line to hear Trump’s hokey catchphrase from his old reality TV game show, The Apprentice: “You’re fired!”

UPDATE: Patel kept his word and filed his loopy lawsuit against The Atlantic for a preposterous $250 million. As expected, there is no evidence of actual malice (a requirement for a legal finding of defamation) in Patel’s filing. The Atlantic acted responsibly, giving Patel opportunities prior to publication to rebut the allegations, and by securing and verifying multiple, credible sources. If this goes to discovery or court, Patel will come to regret it. It just reinforces and further publicizes the allegations against him.

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.

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

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.”

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

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. NO 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. NO 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
