Russia Trolls Trump’s Birthday Parade, Turning it Into $45 Million of Anti-American Propaganda

Posted by on June 15, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 1 Comments :

The post-mortem on The military parade that Donald Trump staged to celebrate his 79th birthday did not turn out to be the sort of tribute that he hoped for. The attendance didn’t get anywhere near the 250,000 MAGA cult devotees that his press flacks predicted. Trump couldn’t even get very many of his congressional Republican sycophants to show up.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

These poor results look even worse when compared to the estimated five million American patriots who came out in support of the “No Kings” demonstrations held in more than 2,000 cities to oppose Trump’s authoritarian aspirations. And if he thought that there would be a silent majority cheering for him on their sofas at home, he is going to be sorely disappointed by that as well.

Sadly, Trump’s failure and broad-based unpopularity rubbed off on the proud soldiers who were compelled to participate in his charade …er… parade. It wasn’t their fault that Trump tried to feed his ego by forcing them to perform as pawns in his partisan political pageant. And it wasn’t their fault that he organized it so poorly. However, they unfairly suffered from the fallout of his ignorance and incompetence.

One particularly disturbing consequence of Trump’s antics was that his good buddy, Vladimir Putin, was able to take advantage of his folly to the detriment of the troops and America’s dignity. The Russian media quickly filled with images of Trump’s birthday bash in a decidedly negative light…

Russia is trolling Trump's vanity birthday parade. So he just spent $45 million to buy Vladimir Putin some anti-America propaganda material. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace(Via bsky.app/profile/juli…: Captions say "How Trump imagined his parade / What he actually saw")

The American people can’t be thrilled that Trump sunk $45 million into material for Russia to embark on a propaganda campaign to mock America. And they did it with an emphasis on how pathetically Trump attempted to emulate the sort of military spectacle that Russia specializes in. While Trump has long craved to produce a similar affair, he didn’t bother to insure that he could pull it off.

The result is that Trump has embarrassed America in the eyes of the world. Not that Trump will ever see it that way. Because his only reviews of the event will come from his own toadies or those on Fox News. Speaking of which, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends are already on the job. Co-host Lawrence Jones interviewed Trump’s former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and asked him whether Trump “put fear in the hearts.” of America’s adversaries who watched this parade…

Jones: What does this say to our enemies as well? Because they’re watching. They’re always watching. Does it put fear in their hearts knowing that this is a president that is willing to rebuild the military, right?
Wolf: Yeah, no doubt. […] I think our adversaries around the world know President Trump means business.

Yeah, no doubt. Judging from the video above, that’s exactly how Russia sees things. They are quaking with fear due to the visage of the Mango Monarch and his exhibition of extraordinary manliness. We can now expect Putin to surrender and pull his troops out of Ukraine, and pressure his allies in Iran to submit to Israel. Any minute now.

Trump’s Favorite Fox News Flunkies FREAK OUT Over the ‘Big Bogus Bill’ Breaking Up Trump and Musk

Posted by on June 4, 2025 at 3:41 pm. 0 Comments :

In the five months since Donald Trump began his second occupation of the White House, almost nothing of any significance has been accomplished through the conventional, lawful paths of government. The Republican led Congress has been virtually AWOL, leaving most of the governing to their Dear Leader’s tyrannical penchant for executive ordering whatever cruel and screwball notion seeps into his mush filled head.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Among the critical issues that face any presidential administration is the production of a budget to keep the wheels of the nation turning. That legislation sets the fiscal parameters for everything from taxes, to defense, to healthcare, to criminal justice, to Social Security, to foreign relations, and so much more. And ironically, those all just happen to be subjects that challenge Trump’s ability to comprehend reality.

SEE THIS: ‘What About Trump?’ CNN Finally Asks About Trump’s Mental Acuity. Meanwhile, on Fox News…

The budget bill that is currently before Congress is facing an uphill battle for passage. Last week it passed in the House of Representatives by a single vote. Now the Republicans in the Senate are divided over whether the bill’s tax cuts for the rich are steep enough, and whether its cuts to popular programs that benefit America’s working class, such as Medicaid and Food Stamps, are cruel enough.

That divide has spilled over into the chummy relationship between Trump and his billionaire benefactor, Elon Musk. Despite Musk’s marauding DOGE campaign to gut many of the agencies that do the most important work on behalf of the American people, he has now come out against Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination,” due to its multi-trillion dollar increase of the national debt.

Hmmm… Musk can't stand it "anymore"???So he was able to stand it for a while when he was still working in Trump's White House? What changed?? His employment?? His drugs?? His greed?? All of the above?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-03T19:06:00.082Z

The reality TV style melodrama spinning around this political spat is also being played out at Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Wednesday morning Trump’s favorite Fox News show, Fox and Friends, dived into the swamp (video below). Beginning with a lament from co-host Brian Kilmeade…

Kilmeade: I think the Elon Musk thing really caught the president by surprise. And I hear he’s furious. But I think he’s so smart to keep his powder dry. Because it just plays into what critics would have to say. The right can’t get out of their own way. Instead, you have a goal: Pass it. Elon Musk is not in the Senate or the House. Don’t worry about it.

If Kilmeade is right about Trump being caught by surprise and being furious, then Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, lied when she told reporters that Trump already knew Musk’s opinions about the bill before he went public with them. As for Trump “keeping his powder dry,” another phrase that might describe that is “TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out,” He’s afraid to go against Musk. He didn’t have any trouble lambasting Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie when when they criticized the bill. Why not Musk? And that’s when Kilmeade’s colleague, Lawrence Jones, spoke up…

Jones: Can I offer a different perspective? As someone who is supportive of the president’s agenda, I am upset with Congress right now. I don’t blame the president for the “Big Beautiful Bill.” I blame Congress because they go to their constituents every single election. They say they’re gonna cut spending. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. And it doesn’t seem like there is a willingness to do that.

First of all, how is Jones’ perspective any different than his co-host’s? More to the point, his reluctance to blame Trump is more evidence that he is a fully indoctrinated Trump cult member. The bill is exactly what Trump lobbied for. Congress wanted to divide it up into separate bills, but Trump demanded that it be combined into one. And it was Trump who told Congress to give the bill the childish name, “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Which they did. What’s more, the bill is full of cuts. But they are mostly cuts to critical programs that the American people need and support, or cuts to taxes on the wealthy. And this is where co-host Ainsley Earhardt chose to join in…

Earhardt: I’m with you on being very respectful on some of the same interviews. Just saying, look, we have differences. I don’t agree with him on everything. But this latest comment about calling the “Big Beautiful Bill” a disgusting abomination, I was shocked to hear him say that. I can understand why the president would not be happy about that. Because this is someone that worked on his team.

Earhardt is now demonstrating the “shock” that so many MAGA disciples have had when Trump and his cronies inevitably part ways. Because none of them have any ingrained morals or principles that would bind them together. It is always transactional concerns that benefit one or the other that eventually crack under the pressure of their selfishly contrary goals.

One thing is clear from all of this. The Fox friends who have so adored Musk for the past few months are squarely on the side of their Mango Messiah. They can’t understand how Musk could have betrayed them. And they remain supportive of the “Big Bogus Bill” despite the low approval ratings of both the bill and Trump. But then, that’s how cults work. How could it be otherwise?

HUH? Fox News Makes the Most Bizarre Justification Yet for Trump Accepting a Free Jet From Qatar

Posted by on May 14, 2025 at 2:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The recent revelation that Donald Trump is preparing to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar to replace Air Force One has been leading the news cycle for three days now. For better or worse, it has taken precedence over his junket to the Middle East, his phony trade deals with the UK and China, his unlawful and unenforceable drug price reductions, and his efforts to defy the constitutional protection of habeas Corpus laws.

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

Fox News Sad

Naturally, Trump’s always predictable reaction to the torrent of criticism that he has received for his latest self-enriching enterprise has been predominantly to deny, lie, and insult his critics, whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or journalists. Especially journalists…

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Fortunately for Trump, he will always have Fox News to carry water for him as he seeks to flood the zone with bullpucky and gaslight his gullible cult disciples. To that end, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends embarked on a path of shameless Trump-fluffing to absolve him of any guilt for eagerly grabbing the gift of a flying palace from a Middle Eastern nation with whom he is doing business. Spinning furiously, they said that…

Brian Kilmeade: The question is the optics. What does Qatar want in return for a multi billion dollar plane?
Lawrence Jones: I think we would be crazy not to accept the plane. I think people have been watching way too many spy movies. And if you think the United States government and our Defense Department is not going to strip the plane – everybody is talking about technology. Could they be spying on us? Of course. We have foreign assets that want to spy on us. But they are not going to take the plane as is. They will break it apart. They will put the necessary military assets on there. The technology is there.
Kilmeade: Flip the couches to the other side.
Jones: I think it’s a gift. I think it’s totally okay.
Ainsley Earhardt: Look, the left is going crazy about this. But they have to be careful. They are fine with Harvard getting all these gifts from these Middle Eastern countries. And Bill Ackman says “the hypocrisy is staggering. If the Pentagon took a $400 million plane from Qatar, it would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence. Yet universities pocket billions from the same regimes and get a free pass.” American universities are getting billions in gifts from foreign countries and they are okay with that. Remember Barack Obama supported Harvard for going after Trump?

Jones is parroting Trump himself who said that “It would be stupid” not to accept the plane. His reasoning rested solely on the claim that it’s free. Let’s get back to that nonsense in moment. First, let’s note that free gifts are not permitted under the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. And it would be ridiculous to suggest that just because something is free that it’s okay. Would it be okay for someone with matters pending before a senator or a judge to give them a free Mercedes or Rolex?

As to whether the plane is actually free, NBC News reports that it could cost more than a billion dollars to “strip the plane” and then rebuild it with the added security enhancements that the president’s plane requires. Plus it could take years to complete the transformation. So the planes currently being built by Boeing to replace Air force One could be delivered first. And Trump would end up getting a free plane for his library that was never used as Air Force One.

Perhaps the most preposterous take in this Fox News segment is Earhardt’s comparison of Trump accepting a multimillion plane from a foreign government, to Harvard accepting academic donations. To begin with, Earhardt is actually agreeing that Trump’s acceptance of the plane is improper and “would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence.” Her complaint is only that Democrats might be hypocritical for not also being outraged about Harvard. Which is not even remotely similar.

Unlike Trump’s gift, there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting Harvard from taking such donations. Harvard isn’t using those funds in any endeavor that would impact national security. In fact, as reported by The Harvard Crimson, they are used for financial aid, graduate fellowships, research funding, and related educational and operational expenses. And the donations they receive are fully disclosed as required by law.

Trying to equate Trump, a known felon with 34 convictions for financial fraud, and his breach of constitutional law, to Harvard’s commonplace and legal academic fundraising, is really just a demonstration of how desperate Fox News is to find any justification for an unjustifiable act by a criminal president. And that desperation only makes their failure more apparent and pathetic.

Trump is OUTRAGED at Fox News for Revealing How Unpopular He Is, So He Attacks Rupert Murdoch

Posted by on April 24, 2025 at 10:51 am. 1 Comments :

The American people are increasingly dissatisfied with Donald Trump as he approaches the 100th day of his second occupation of the White House. And that is not the just the opinion of some random “radical left lunatic,” as Trump likes to call all of his critics. It’s the results of a new poll by Fox News.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

After several weeks of epically abhorrent fiascos, Trump’s approval rating has descended to new lows. His attacks on lawyers, universities, and of course, the media, only serve to expose his desperation. He is now getting failing grades on virtually every issue that he campaigned on. Although, it’s not as if he hasn’t been scraping the bottom of that barrel for some time.

SEE THIS: Trump 2.0 Begins with Approval Ratings that Rank Below Every Other President Dating Back to 1953

A new Fox News poll confirms the crash of the Corruptor-in-Chief. Overall, Trump’s job approval clocks in at 44%.” His disapproval is at 55%. These numbers are notably worse than Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and even himself in his first term. The Fox News reporting on its poll led off on a positive note, but then quickly slid off a cliff…

“President Trump receives his best marks on border security, as a 55% majority approves. That’s the only issue where his ratings are in positive territory. On immigration, a record high of 47% approve of Trump (48% disapprove), while a new low of 38% approve on the economy (56% disapprove). His worst ratings are on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove), followed by tariffs (33-58%), foreign policy (40-54%), taxes (38-53%), and guns (41-44%).”

To no one’s surprise, this survey triggered a predictable tantrum from Trump on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He lashed out petulantly at his longtime media benefactor, Rupert Murdoch, saying that…

“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so. This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

So Trump is not only blasting Fox News as a disseminator of “fake news,” he’s accusing Murdoch of lying to him “for years” about ditching the pollster that has actually been surprisingly accurate. And he threw in a shot at Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal for kicks. Probably because the Journal’s Editorial Board recently wrote that Trump was waging “The Dumbest Trade War in History.”

Making matters worse, was what Steve Doocy said on Fox and Friends. He began by saying that Trump is “softening his stance on China.” While he characterized that weakness as positive, he elaborated by giving the Fox News viewers some information that was likely to cause them some emotional distress…

“Tariffs are unpopular with the American public. 72% say that the tariffs are making things more expensive. 55% say that they are hurting the economy. And 44% say they are hurting jobs. And when it comes to one other number, when you look at the S&P 500, it has gotten off to the worst start of any presidency going back to 1928, which is when they started keeping records.”

But not to worry, co-host Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s girlfriend), chimed in to salve the wounds caused by Doocy’s brief detour into reality, saying that…

“The administration is saying that these projections are fluid, there are several options on the table. The president yesterday, he was out on the White House lawn, he was out there to find a good location to erect this new huge American flag.”

See? Everything is gonna be okay. The cost of living is rising to new heights. Everything from groceries, to gas, to rent, to appliances, to cars, and more, will be more expensive, for no reason other than Trump’s ego and ignorance. But at least we’ll have a giant, useless flag decorating the White House (which already has one on its roof) to wave at and salute on the way to the poorhouse. Good times! And so much winning.

Fox News Observes Easter By Celebrating the Resurrection of… Donald Trump?

Posted by on April 19, 2025 at 12:13 pm. 2 Comments :

On every Christian holiday, Fox News devotes much of their programming to the worshipful evangelism of that one religious sect, while conspicuously ignoring all others, even though Passover and Ramadan fall around the same time. And their unique homage to their favored faith always places a special significance on their Dear Leader Donald Trump. It’s a profoundly hypocritical brand of piety considering that Trump is indisputably the most flagrantly faithless person to ever occupy the White House.

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

Donald Trump Messiah

Trump’s ignorance of – and actual animosity toward – religion is evident every time he deigns to mention it. And he only mentions it when he has something personal to gain by doing so. It’s not as if Trump sincerely follows the tenets of his alleged religion. After all, he famously declared his messiah-like infallibility saying, “Why do I have to repent? Why do I have to ask for forgiveness if you’re not making mistakes?”

SEE THIS: Trump Says ‘I Am the Chosen One’ After Tweeting that He’s ‘The Second Coming of God’

Trump’s entire public life is antithetical to everything that the biblical Jesus stands for. He and his Republican Party oppose healthcare for the sick. They despise refugees (such as Jesus). He has committed adultery against all three of his wives. He’s a pathological liar. He embraces billionaires and has no empathy for the poor. He frequently expresses his hatred for his fellow Americans on religious holidays. And he has literally and unrepentantly violated all of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.

So naturally Fox News regards Trump as the Second Coming of the messiah who can do no wrong and will be the savior of America and all of humanity. And to illustrate that point, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends did a segment this Easter weekend that was intended to show how their revered cult master in the White House was “putting faith front and center.” Co-host Emily Compagno said that…

“For so many Americans that felt persecuted under the prior administration, were prosecuted under the prior administration for daring to protest abortion; for daring to speak freely; for being put on watch lists by the FBI for worshipping at Latin mass.

“What a breath of fresh air. And I think the restoration of this just goes to show too, when we talk about the overwhelming success that Donald Trump had at the ballot box. Seventy-six million Americans said ‘Not any more. We want someone to be the voice for us. That actually sees and represents us.'”

It is notable that nowhere in Comapgno’s remarks did she present any evidence that Trump was “putting faith front and center.” In fact, she never even mentioned Jesus or Christianity. To the contrary, she spoke only about Trump. Which, in her defense, is the MAGA savior.

Compagno also listed some of what she believes were persecutions of Christians. All of which were blatant distortions or outright lies. And she disgorged utter nonsense about Trump’s alleged “overwhelming success” in the last election, which he won by one of the narrowest margins (1.5%) in modern times. She doesn’t bother to reveal that he actually got a minority of all the votes cast.

The fact that Compagno mangled reality in order to hail Dear Leader Trump as the “voice for us,” rather than the Son of God whom she supposedly worships, is telling. Particularly on this Easter when Trump has announced that he is going to turn the White House itself into a vehicle for bribes. He’s soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. Which is, of course, illegal. Although, perhaps it’s necessary due to the much higher cost of eggs under Trump’s “leadership.” Even so, Jesus would very likely have overturned the tables in Trump’s Easter Den of Iniquity.

And on Easter Sunday…

Trump's posts an Easter message to "Radical Left Lunatics" and "WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges," and everyone he hates. Because that's what he thinks Easter is all about.He goes on to attack President Biden and whine about the 2020 election that he continues to lie was "rigged and stolen" from him.

Fox News is OUTRAGED that Americans Hate Musk and Trump Just Because They’re Destroying America

Posted by on March 11, 2025 at 1:39 pm. 1 Comments :

The turmoil that is the trademark of Donald Trump and his reality TV game show persona is being unleashed on America – and the world – with the implementation of his malicious MAGA agenda. The consequences of his idiotic and inflationary tariffs, his abandonment of U.S. allies in Ukraine, Europe, and elsewhere, and his reckless chainsaw cutting of critical government services, are having a notable impact on his approval rating.

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

Fox News Sad

It shouldn’t surprise Trump that his policies, that are causing real harm to people who aren’t wealthy oligarchs lounging around the pool at Mar-a-Lago, are a drag on his popularity. Not that he cares about those people. But he does care when his massive, yet fragile, ego gets bruised by sinking poll numbers.

SEE THIS: Trump 2.0 Begins with Approval Ratings that Rank Below Every Other President Dating Back to 1953

Neither should anyone be surprised that Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) would come to his defense during times of trouble in order to prop up both his ego and his poll numbers. To that end, Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of Fox and Friends (and Sean Hannity’s girlfriend) expressed her dismay at the outrageous lack of gratitude that the American people are showing for Trump’s co-president, Elon Musk, and all that he is doing selflessly for the benefit of all. She whined that…

“He wants to go rescue those astronauts. If that is successful, can you imagine? They’ll still hate him. He wants to reduce waste and fraud. He wants to save American tax dollars. They still hate him. He’s helping the blind to see again. And they still hate him. And then, he’s making the people that have spinal cord injuries walk again. And they hate him. It is evil, it is mean. Laughing because the rocket blew up? I mean, why? I hope that we would never do that, even if we disagree with his politics.

https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1899496826614714657

Earhardt has a perverse perception of what Musk is up to. Everything that she complained about was directly contradictory to reality. First of all, he isn’t “rescuing” the astronauts on the International Space Station. Their return has been delayed by technical issues, but they are in no danger. And Musk isn’t offering to retrieve them as a gesture of patriotism. It’s a profit making venture for him. And considering the record for Musk’s rocket launches, the astronauts may be in more danger if they accept his offer for a ride. So yeah, we hate him.

Secondly, Earhardt asserts that Musk wants to reduce waste and fraud. Bullpucky! He is slashing government agencies in a thoroughly thoughtless and irresponsible manner that is putting millions of people at risk. Those risks could come in the form of loss of access to healthcare, vulnerability to corporate fraud and corruption, air disasters, poisoning of food and water, depriving the needy of nutritional and educational support, and endangering Social Security. And he is doing it so that he can justify cutting taxes for billionaires like himself. So yeah, we hate him.

Thirdly, Earhardt praises Musk for his work on medical devices that could help the blind or paralyzed. Once again, these are businesses that Musk will profit from. He has demonstrated with Tesla that he couldn’t care less about any benefit that his products might provide. He surely doesn’t care about the environment. He only cares about getting richer and more powerful. And he is doing more harm to people with health issues by terminating staff and funding for projects like cancer research, pandemic mitigation, and Medicare. So yeah, we still hate him.

The worshipful adoration that Fox News Trump-fluffers like Earhardt display is the norm on the network. In fact, they recently hired Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara, and gave her a weekend program in primetime. She is, of course, an integral part of the Trump Cult and recently said that the American people need to be more grateful to Trump and Musk. She told Sean Hannity that…

“We cannot survive as a country. So people ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump for being the two people that actually do this.”

So yeah, we will continue to hate them for as long as they continue to hurt us, and to sabotage our country, in order to enrich themselves. They can kiss each other’s feet if it’s that important to them. In fact, it looks like they have already begun…

Fox News is SHOCKED that Citizens Have the Gall to Protest Trump VP Vance on His Ski Vacation

Posted by on March 2, 2025 at 11:59 am. 1 Comments :

If there is one thing that is crystal clear in the second coming of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House, it’s that dissent is verboten, and anyone who dares to engage in it must be shunned and driven from the embrace of Trump’s obeisant society. The protections of the Constitution notwithstanding, defiance of Dear Leader will not be tolerated.

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

Fox News, Constitution

This suppression of free speech is not some vague, clandestine policy that is hinted at in disguised rhetoric. It is blatant and broadcast without shame by Trump and his cronies. His recently confirmed director of the FBI, Kash Patel, made sure that he would not be misunderstood when he threatened the media with persecution and prosecution if they challenged the supremacy of the regime.

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

Consequently, it will surprise no one that Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is leading the way down the path of total submission to the Trump cult’s hive mind. On Sunday’s edition of Fox and Friends Weekend (the program from which Trump recruited his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth), the “Curvy Couch” potatoes drew the red line that citizens of Trump’s perverse version of America must never be allowed to cross.

Campos-Duffy: There was somebody who was in Vermont, a very liberal state, who went with his family, JD Vance, skiing, and boy, the Vermonters were not very friendly and welcoming. I don’t think any conservatives will want to go to Vermont skiing anymore.
Hurt: Shocking, SHOCKING, to find out that the state that keeps sending us Bernie Sanders decided to turn out in support of, uh, against JD Vance because of the showdown in the White House yesterday.
Campos-Duffy: Do you know what bugs me about this is? It’s like if he was, ya know, if he was like – I get, I think families should be off limits. Hunter Biden sold out the country. There was a reason to talk about him. These kids are like four and two. Why are they bothering this man on his ski vacation?

Did y’all get that? It is now required that all citizens must be “friendly and welcoming” to visitors from the Trump confederacy. Failure to behave in the approved manner will warrant ostracization, and the enmity of Trump cultists in good standing.

So even if a Trump toady, like say for instance, JD Vance, were to come to town the day after he and Trump grossly embarrassed the nation by chastising a beleaguered American ally, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – who has been courageously fighting to defend the cherished American values of liberty and democracy – the peasants…er…residents of that town are still expected to bow down reverentially or suffer the consequences.

MORE HERE: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

What’s more, the voters of that town will be mocked for democratically electing the representative of their choice if he (e.g. Bernie Sanders) doesn’t fall in line with the Fuhrer’s dictates. Never mind that when Trump’s nemesis, President Biden, was in office, it was perfectly fine to attack the President and his family in overtly unfriendly and unwelcoming ways.

In the Era of the Cult of Trump, guilt by association is the standard operating procedure. Anyone who affiliates with the enemies of Trump are suspect themselves. However, if we apply the same gauge to the Trumpists, we would see a decidedly troubling scenario unfolding. Because among the most fervent followers of Trump are some of the world’s most brutal and oppressive tyrants, whose reverence Trump gleefully returns.

Russian politico, Dmitry Medvedev, gives #PutinsPoodle, Trump, praise for his "slap down" of Zelenskyy. Like a dog getting a treat for doing a trick.Hungary's dictator, Orbán, also came out in support of Trump's tantrum against Zelenskyy, but inadvertently notes that Putin is weak for making war.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-01T18:58:25.115Z

And let’s not forget Trump’s co-president, Elon Musk, who is fully on board with America’s Russian foes, and is doing all that he can to advance their interests.

Trump's co-president, Elon Musk, is now advocating that the U.S. quit NATO and the U.N.Just like their master Vladimir Putin wants us to do.

Fox News Says Trump’s Ugly Oval Office Attack on Zelenskyy Merits a Nobel Peace Prize

Posted by on March 1, 2025 at 12:09 pm. 3 Comments :

The faithful devotion that Donald Trump has for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was revealed yet again in a spine-chilling display of submission and betrayal by an America “president” who has fully committed to selling out his country to satisfy his insatiable lust for power, wealth, and the adoration of a flock of gullible rubes.

Donald Trump

On Friday Trump had a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. It was billed as a routine diplomatic affair wherein the two leaders would sign an agreement for the U.S. to continue its support for Ukraine against the imperialist, genocidal aggression of Russia, in exchange for some of the abundant mineral rights held by Ukraine. Unfortunately, the meeting didn’t go as planned. Or did it?

SEE THIS: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

The tantrum thrown by Trump was an embarrassment to him, his administration, and sadly, the international reputation of the United States. In a few short minutes Trump confirmed, on a world stage, his ignorance of world affairs, as well as his infantile belligerence, and his callous insensitivity to the suffering of our allies. The response from the world’s free democracies was unanimous: Trump was out of line and off his rocker!

There were, however, those who regarded Trump’s hysterics as admirable, and even as “a lot of male alpha energy coming from Trump.” That fangirl commentary came from a Fox News co-host of Fox and Friends, Rachel Campos-Duffy, who happens to be married to Trump’s Transportation Secretary and former Fox News hack, Sean Duffy. But what she went to say was even more ridiculous…

“I think we have to get back to the central point, I think the most important point, that Donald Trump made in this whole thing, ‘You are gambling with World War III.’

“This was about peace ultimately. There’s a lot of drama, and we can break down everybody’s feelings, but in the end, I think what’s remarkable is that we have a president who’s willing to do anything to bring about world peace. Man, if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing.

SERIOUSLY? A Nobel Peace Prize for deliberately sabotaging any rational plan for peace? For advocating surrender to the madman who started the war? For insulting the hero who has been standing steadfast against Putin’s aggression and has been defending liberty and democracy?

What Campos-Duffy believes is “peace” is giving up land and treasure to the enemy in hopes that such compliance will stop him from demanding anything more. Which is not the case with most bullies.

That’s also what Trump believes. And when she says that Trump is “willing to do anything to bring about world peace,” she’s right, in a way. He’s willing to sink to any low in order to appease a brutal thug. And after laying down for the tyrant, get an award for advancing peace?

Trump likewise regards himself as a peacemaker. And he is still envious of President Obama who did receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Immediately following his ambush of Zelenskyy, Trump told a gaggle of right-wing “reporters” that…

“He’s gotta say, ‘I want to make PEACE. He doesn’t have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that. All negative things…He doesn’t have the cards.”

Trump thinks that President Zelenskyy should be nicer to Putin, who invaded his country and is massacring his people.And he asserts that Zelenskyy "doesn't have the cards." That isn't negotiating from strength. That's surrender.

Trump seems to think that Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace. Because if he did want it, he would be saying nice, positive things about Putin. What’s more, Trump repeated his defeatist assertion that Zelenskyy “doesn’t have the cards.” So the alleged author of “The Art of Deal” thinks that telling the other players that you have a lousy hand is an effective negotiating tactic. Particularly when that isn’t even true. Just fold and give your opponent the whole pot.

Lest anyone come away with the impression that Trump’s only allies are the Trump-fluffers on fox News, we need to appreciate that he is not alone. He also has support from some of the nastiest totalitarians on the planet, which is a club he is anxious to join. For instance…

Russian politico, Dmitry Medvedev, gives #PutinsPoodle, Trump, praise for his "slap down" of Zelenskyy. Like a dog getting a treat for doing a trick.Hungary's dictator, Orbán, also came out in support of Trump's tantrum against Zelenskyy, but inadvertently notes that Putin is weak for making war.

Fox News Embraces Dear Leader Trump’s Imperialist Plans to Invade and Annex Greenland and Panama

Posted by on January 8, 2025 at 1:57 pm. NO Comments :

This week Donald Trump held a press conference that will stand the test of time as testimony to just how mentally diseased he was prior to the start of his second occupation of the White House. It was an hour plus of pure bullpucky and puerile propaganda. In other words, it was exactly the same as every other press conference he has held.

Donald Trump Fox News

Among the subjects he mangled were his obsession with filling up on filthy fossil fuels, pardoning his StormTrumpers who assaulted Congress, whining about efforts to bring him to justice for numerous treasonous felonies. And his recent maniacal fetish for confiscating the territories of American allies.

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

While every rational observer recognizes that Trump’s fixation on American expansionism is a dangerous escalation of hostilities with which he is emulating his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, and Adolf Hitler of Germany, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is taking him seriously and marching in lock-step with his malevolent machinations. On Wednesday’s episode of Fox and Friends, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes gave Trump their hearty endorsement.

Ainsley Earhardt (co-host and Sean Hannity’s fiancée): Well, Greenland, strategically, it makes sense. Because it’s the halfway point between our country and the U.K. So it would make sense to have that for war purposes, if we ever got to that point. Also, we have a big space facility there as well. As far as Panama Canal, we built it. 1941 we built it. [Note: it was completed in 1914]. In the seventies it was renamed. [Note: No it wasn’t]. And he wants to take that back. It makes perfect sense. And Gulf of Mexico, if it became Gulf of America… But to me the biggest thing that he said, the biggest accomplishment in the beginning, would be getting these hostages back.

Earhardt’s reasoning is something short of coherent. If the United States were justified in taking over any country that is halfway between itself and some other ally, is there any nation on the planet that would be safe from our cravings of conquest? For instance, France is halfway between the U.S. and Japan. Australia is halfway between the U.S. and India. So let’s take them all over, shall we?

Furthermore, Earhardt’s suggestion that it would make sense to take over any country where the U.S. has military assets would likewise lead to taking over nearly half the planet. And the Gulf of Mexico was named that before the United States ever existed. And as Mexico’s president said, it would make more sense to rename parts of the Western U.S. “America Mexicana.”

Earhardt concluded her babbling with her opinion that Trump’s comments about the hostages currently being held by Hamas in Gaza were his “biggest accomplishment,” which of course, he has not accomplished. What Trump said about that in his press conference was simply a bombastic, pseudo-macho threat that if the hostages are not released before his inauguration, “It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out.”

On this Trump is uncharacteristically correct. “It would not be good for anyone.” Particularly the hostages, who would likely be murdered at the first sign of any Trump led attack. That would be followed shortly by hundreds (thousands?) more fatalities of both innocent Gazans, Israelis, as well as any American soldiers involved. And it would put any hopes of cessation of hostilities or peace agreements much farther away.

Joining the Fox and Friends embrace of Trump’s imperialistic yearnings was Jesse Watters. On his Tuesday night program he explained why he supports Trump’s plan to annex Greenland, saying that “The fact that they don’t want us to take them over makes me want to invade. I want to quench my imperialist thirst.” Which is even stupider that Trump’s explanation that “we need Greenland for national security purposes. People don’t even know if Denmark has any legal right to it.”

In the meantime, Trump would then be saddled with wars in Panama, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East. Which will surely fulfill Trump’s campaign promises to put a halt to illegal immigration, create jobs, and bring down the price of eggs America. Right?

Pete Hegseth’s Fox News Co-Host Admits He Had a Drinking Problem, But It’s Now ‘Under Control’

Posted by on December 7, 2024 at 2:26 pm. NO Comments :

The ongoing formation of the Cabinet of Donald Trump continues to limp along with fits and wheezes. The historically unprecedented roster of billionaires, unqualified hacks, and shamelessly sycophantic Trump loyalists, portends a dire future for the nation.

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Not only would Trump’s administration lack anyone who would stand up to him when he’s wrong, they don’t have the experience or intelligence to implement his agenda, which is actually one of the rare positive aspects of his cadre of crackpots. What they have is unflinching fealty to Dear Leader and a direct hook up to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

On Friday Kristen Welker of NBC News released a few teaser clips from her interview of Trump that will air Sunday on Meet the Press. In these clips Trump displayed his famously dishonest and/or delusionary perspective when discussing the state of Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense.

Trump told Welker that “Pete is doing well now,” despite the fact that he still doesn’t have the votes from Republicans to be confirmed. Trump also offered his praise for Hegseth saying that “I’ve known him through Fox. But I’ve known him for a long time. And he’s basically a military guy,” because he talks about the military a lot. If that were the criteria required to run the Pentagon, Gomer Pyle would be qualified.

Hegseth has never managed anything like the Department of Defense, with 3.4 million people and an $850 billion budget. But he was fired from two veterans charities for alcohol-fueled misconduct and financial mismanagement. So he may have the skills Trump wants in order to dismantle the institution. With regard to Hegeth’s alcohol issues, Trump said that…

“I’ve spoken to people that know him very well and they say he does not have a drinking problem.”

Well, then that settles it. Because Trump would never lie, would he? Were those people big strong men who came up to him and hugged him with tears in their eyes? And why is okay for Trump to cite anonymous sources, but it’s not okay for anyone else?

These comments by Trump were played on Saturday’s episode of Fox and Friends, the program that Hegseth quit in order to become Vladimir Putin’s fave choice for U.S. defense secretary. And immediately following the clips, the current hosts discussed them and their relationship with Hegseth…

Cain: Just to be clear, people who work with him, there’s three – two here who have been with him on an hourly basis for five years – not a drinking problem. And that’s on the record with our names. So anonymous sources at NBC who work with him, you can value that for what it’s worth.
Campos-Duffy: I’ve actually seen Pete’s transformation over the time that I’ve worked here in terms of his own personal life. The man that he’s become. The way he comports himself as a father, as a husband over the last seven years. […] Pete does cling to his bible because he’s humble enough to know he needs it. And, no, he does not have a drinking problem. He has that completely under control.”

So Hegseth’s fellow “Curvy Couch” potatoes are with him all the way. What a surprise, and not at all a biased testimonial. Although Campos-Duffy may have done him more harm than good. Her assertion that his drinking problem is now “under control” is an affirmation that he did have a drinking problem. She now claims that he has overcome it, but provides no evidence for how he did so. It is extraordinarily difficult to overcome any substance abuse problem without professional help. Did Hegseth undergo therapy? Did he join Alcoholics Anonymous? Or did he just ask Jesus to free him from his addiction?

What’s more, why do they think that their testimony is more credible because they are on the record? They are also still employed by Fox News, and their jobs depend on regurgitating the company line. Which also happens to be the Trump line. Furthermore, we know that Fox News hosts lie because they were caught and had to pay a $787 billion dollar settlement due to their flagrant dishonesty.

The testimony of the inside sources in the independent reporting by the New Yorker and elsewhere is far more credible because they are speaking without the pressure or intimidation from their employers, Trump, or his MAGA thugs. And they are not anonymous. They are confidential. There’s a difference. The identity of anonymous sources is unknown. The identity of confidential sources is known to the journalists and editors. It just not disclosed in order to avoid retribution.

The bottom line is that the stories of Hegseth’s debauchery have now been essentially affirmed in part by his own former Fox News co-hosts. There is little reason to have confidence that he won’t backslide if he is entrusted with the stress and responsibility of being Secretary of Defense. And this doesn’t even address his inexperience, or the allegations of sexual assault, or the criticisms by his own mother that he’s a liar and a cheater who abuses women. However, it’s clear to see what Trump likes so much about him. They are two of a kind.
