CNN’s Republican Shill Says Tariffs Are Not Enough, Proposes Starting a Drug War with Mexico

Posted by on November 27, 2024 at 2:14 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the absolute worst ideas that Donald Trump has proposed since becoming president-elect is his promise to impose new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, America’s biggest trading partners. His justification for this is that it would serve as a lever to make them end the trafficking of drugs into the United States.

Never mind that economists and trade experts agree that such a reckless and ill-considered act “would significantly increase U.S. inflation next year [and] curtail economic growth.” Trump doesn’t really care about the welfare of the American people. If he did he wouldn’t lie to them so flagrantly and frequently.

If the gullible rubes who voted for Trump think that he is going to lower the price of gas or eggs, they are going to be woefully disappointed. To the contrary, his plans will increase the costs of everything from fruit to toys to shoes to cars, and more. And to rub some salt into those wounds, it won’t have the slightest impact on drug trafficking.

Which makes the following exchange about Trump’s initiatives on CNN, between economic contributor Catherine Rampell and Republican hack Scott Jennings, all the more troubling…

Rampell: Mexico has actually put a lot more border security on its southern border.
Jennings: It’s really working wonders. This is crazy.
Rampell: Yes, again, border crossings are down 75 percent. They’re back to what they were under Trump.
Jennings: If I were [Mexican President Sheinbaum], I would be prepared for my country to possibly have United States military incursions to take out the drug factories and the people who do this to us too.
Rampell: So, you think we should not only have a trade war, we should have a military war with Mexico?
Jennings: I think we have to do what we have to do to stop the drugs.

So Jennings, who has previously supported deploying the military within the U.S. to round up immigrants for mass deportation, now also wants the Army to invade our allied neighbor to South to put an end to the Fentanyl crisis at home. The minions of MAGA have become the foremost advocates of military engagements. Unless, of course, it is aimed at preventing Vladimir Putin from invading and annexing our friends in Ukraine.

Rampell was correct to note that border crossings are down 75 percent. What’s more, most of the Fentanyl coming into the U.S. is brought in by American citizens through legal ports of entry. And there is a reason for the flood of drugs into the U.S. There’s a huge market for it. Fentanyl trafficking would end if Americans would stop buying it. It isn’t an international crime problem. It’s a domestic public health problem. These and other concerns were addressed by President Sheinbaum following Trump’s tariff threat…

“Mexico’s main exporters to the U.S. are General Motors, Stellantis and Ford Motor Company, which came to Mexico 80 years ago. Why put a tax on them that puts them at risk? It is not acceptable and would cause the U.S. and Mexico inflation and job losses.” […]

“Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.”

The military “solution” that Jennings proposed would be worse than ineffective. It would be objectively harmful. It would put the lives American soldiers, as well as innocent Mexican civilians, at risk. It would do nothing to reduce drug trafficking because, as long as there is a demand, the traffickers will seek to fill it. They would just raise their prices along with the legal businesses who respond to the tariffs.

Worst of all, it would destroy the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico, it’s biggest trading partner. It would accelerate inflation at home, and waste billions of dollars and military resources.

Yet somehow CNN is comfortable having a regular contributor on their air making these preposterous and dangerous proposals. Jennings is not a serious conservative commentator. He is war mongering fanatic whose opinions are not worthy of being disseminated by any reputable news enterprise. And if CNN wants to be regarded as “reputable,” they need to dispose of Jennings.

Trump AG Prospect Savors ‘Glorious’ Plans to ‘Put Kids in Cages’ and Migrants ‘In the DC Gulag’

Posted by on November 8, 2024 at 2:38 pm. 4 Comments :

The warnings about the existential dangers of another occupation of the White House by Donald Trump were abundant and horrifying. They came from Democrats, Republicans, and a broad assembly of non-partisan government experts, academics, historians, and veterans of public service. Notably, many of Trump’s closest associates were among the most fervent in their forecasts of doom and gloom.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

Trump’s most passionate detractors included his White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, his Secretary of Defense, Gen. Jim Mattis, his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and dozens of his Cabinet staffers who refused to support his candidacy. Unfortunately, there were just barely enough deluded and gullible MAGA cult disciples who didn’t care that Trump is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an unabashed fascist, because they thought their eggs were too expensive.

SEE THIS: What Is America? Who Votes For This?

Only a few days have have passed since the election, but Trump’s allies. and potential officials in his next administration, are already earning their totalitarian stripes. Case in point, Mike Davis has been identified as a possible Attorney General in the coming Trump regime. He appeared on the podcast of Russian “useful idiot” Benny Johnson where he discussed a variety of issues central to Trump’s Project 2025 agenda. And it didn’t take long for him to unleash some of the repulsive rhetoric that characterized the Trump campaign.

For instance, Davis declared that “We’re gonna indict. We’re gonna indict Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and James Biden. And every other scumball and sleazeball Biden.” Note that he’s already using the inclusive “we” to describe what is being plotted post-inauguration. Davis also promised that “Every January 6th defendant is gonna get a pardon.” Which is an indication of how the Trump administration will adhere to the principles of law and order.

Meanwhile, Davis threatened New York Attorney General, Letitia James – an honest and reputable prosecutor – saying “I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against president Trump in his second term, because… Listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time. And we will put your fat ass in prison.” Davis has learned well from Trump to couch his threats in condescension, profanity, and misogyny.

However, perhaps the most despicable commentary by Davis on Russkie Benny’s program came up during a discussion of immigration. Davis unleashed a furious rant targeting both undocumented and naturalized immigrants. He raged that…

“We’re going to deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing. Anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious. We’re gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo.”

HOLY CR&P! The veil is off the turd. Davis is asserting that millions of migrants will be rounded up and incarcerated in “gulags.” and it doesn’t even matter if they are citizens or not. Grandparents, children, everyone will be “put in cages” for an undetermined amount of time before they are banished to some undetermined countries. And in his grotesque view it will be “glorious.” What he is proposing is a flagrant abuse of human rights and an abomination of decency.

For the record, his plan – which is Trump’s plan – is both illegal and inhumane. But it is also bad for the U.S. economy, and will result in extraordinary harm and suffering of the American people. A report by the American Immigration Council studied Trump’s proposals and came to the following conclusions…

  • “Deporting one million immigrants per year would incur an annual cost of $88 billion, with the majority of that cost going towards building detention camps. It would take over ten years, and the building of hundreds to thousands of new detention facilities, to arrest, detain, process, and remove all 13.3 million targeted immigrants…The total cost over 10.6 years (assuming an annual inflation rate of 2.5 percent) would be $967.9 billion.”
  • “The U.S. would lose out on key contributions undocumented households make to social safety net programs annually, including $22.6 billion to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare. [And] Overall, mass deportation would lead to a loss of 4.2 percent to 6.8 percent of annual U.S. GDP, or $1.1 trillion to $1.7 trillion”
  • “Deporting undocumented immigrants would separate 4 million mixed-status families, affecting 8.5 million U.S. citizens with undocumented family members.’

In short, it would cost over a trillion dollars to implement, lose billions in revenue for the general budget, as well as Social Security and Medicare, depress the nation’s gross domestic product, and cruelly separate families, including those of legal residents and citizens.

For his part, Trump remains as ignorant as ever of the harm his proposals would impose. When asked about the cost of his plan, Trump was unable to provide a coherent answer, saying only that “There is no price tag.” Well, that’s comforting, isn’t it?

Master Racist Trump Attacks America: ‘We’ve Got a Lot of Bad Genes in Our Country Right Now’

Posted by on October 7, 2024 at 2:01 pm. 4 Comments :

Just when you thought he couldn’t possibly get any worse, Donald Trump proves that we have all underestimated his ability to dispense noxious bigotry and hateful rhetoric aimed at the nation he aspires to rule as a dictator on day one.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Bad Genes

Trump’s overt racism has been a hallmark of his public persona for decades. He famously placed an ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for five Black men who were found to be innocent. He discriminated against Black applicants at his apartment properties. He began his campaign for president in 2015 by calling immigrants rapists and murderers. He invited notorious White nationalist Nick Fuentes to dine with him at Mar-a-Lago. And more recently…

THERE WAS THIS: Trump Thanks White Nationalist as a ‘Great Journalist’ for His Sexist Attack on Kamala Harris

While Kamala Harris is being interviewed on a variety of television and social media programs, Trump continues to cower behind the sycophantic MAGA media fluffers who he knows will shield him from any challenging questions or humiliating fact checks.

Case in point, on Monday morning Trump did another phone-in chat from his Mar-a-Lago bunker, in his jammies. This time he spoke with right-wing radio hack, Hugh Hewitt. The entire interview was an affirmation of Trump’s ignorance, ego, and deliberate divisiveness. However, he peaked as the discussion turned to immigration, a subject that Trump eagerly assaults with flagrant falsehoods and putrid prejudice.

Trump led into his repugnant remarks with a preface attacking Kamala Harris in terms that have become a tediously routine part of his cult rallies and stump speeches. He raged that…

“She wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants she wants to go into a Communist Party-type system. When you look at the things that she proposes, they’re so far off. She has no clue.”

OMG! Harris actually wants to feed disadvantaged Americans, including children, who are struggling to overcome the price gouging of the capitalist corporations that Trump favors. What a monster! In Trump’s perverse mind Harris is therefore a {gasp} “Communist.” Why doesn’t she stick to letting her fellow citizens starve, like good MAGA Republicans would do?

Trump went on to repeat a boatload of lies about migrants that he and his crackpot confederates have been telling for several weeks. These are a particular brand of lies intended to malign and dehumanize good people who are desperate to make a better life for themselves. Trump fumed…

“How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know, now a murderer — I believe this — it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we’ve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”

If Trump is truly concerned about genes, he may want to take a look at his own genetic history. First of all, he is descended from German stock. So is he genetically aligned with Nazis? His father was a KKK member. So does that explain his own racial bigotry? Both the Nazis and the Klan are advocates of violence to achieve their ends. So is that why Trump so often incites violence himself?

The allegation that Trump is making here about immigrants and crime has been thoroughly debunked. His disinformation was drawn from a report that he said reveals shocking statistics. However, as News Corpse reported last month…

Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.

What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).”

Trump’s remarks about genetic predisposition to crime is an old trope employed by racist regimes. As is his embrace of violence. Trump not only incited a deadly insurrection on January 6th, 2021, he has frequently employed the rhetoric of violence to intimidate and fear monger. And this isn’t just remnants from the past. He did it again this past weekend…

UPDATE: White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked about Trump’s vile remarks and gave a moving response…

OUCH! Trump’s Flagrant Lies About 14,000 ‘Criminal’ Migrants Gets a Devastating Fact-Check

Posted by on September 29, 2024 at 1:34 pm. 3 Comments :

There are a lot of important issues facing the nation today. They range from the economy to healthcare to the climate crisis to foreign wars. But without question the primary issue that Donald Trump has latched onto for his horror show of a campaign to reoccupy the White House is immigration.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

To be sure, immigration is an important issue. And there have been some earnest attempts to deal with it responsibly. For instance, there was a bipartisan bill that passed in the Senate that would have addressed the matter in a comprehensive way. Unfortunately, it was Trump who sabotaged the bill by coercing his MAGA confederates in the House of Representatives to kill it because it might help his Democratic challenger. And that wasn’t even the worst of his demented views on immigration…

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

For the past week Trump has been obsessed with a report that he said reveals shocking statistics about immigration and crime. He has posted numerous comments on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, and referenced the statistics at his recent cult rallies. There’s just one problem: He is grossly misrepresenting the data to advance his racist views on immigrants who he regards as mostly murderers, rapists, and other manner of ne’er-do-well. Let’s examine a sample of Trump’s remarks…

“14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs who have committed MURDER have been allowed to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, and roam free to KILL AGAIN…Kamala is a FOOL to have let this happen to our beautiful USA. It is totally unjustifiable, there can be nothing worse! She should be IMPEACHED for what she as done to our Country!”

We can set aside Trump’s infantile insults of Harris and his impotent demands that she be impeached. Instead, let’s focus on his ludicrous reference to the “14,000 CONVICTED thugs and slimeballs” that he says are “roaming free” to kill. That number was drawn from a report issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Trump is flatly asserting that all of these criminal migrants entered the U.S. during the Biden-Harris administration and that they – and specifically Kamala Harris – are responsible for it.

However, Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.

What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).” And whatever the actual number of violent criminals is, it would be fewer if the Senate immigration bill that Trump killed were to pass. The bill explicitly provided funding to process, and expedite deportation if necessary, migrants who committed crimes.

It goes without saying that no amount of migrant criminals released into the U.S. population is acceptable. But being realistic, there are criminals in every subset of human groups. Even native-born Americans. And as it turns out, “Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find.”

The bottom line is that a tiny fraction of a percent of undocumented immigrants have been convicted of any crime. The vast majority are harvesting our food, building our homes, and caring for our elderly. So contrary to Trump’s fear mongering that “If Kamala is reelected, your town, and every town just like it…across our country…will be transformed into a third-world hellhole,” bloodthirsty and/or jaywalking migrants are not taking over our country.

The only criminal that America really needs to be worried about right now is Donald Trump. He’s the native-born miscreant with 34 felony convictions, civil liabilities for sexual assault and financial fraud, and 50+ more felonies pending for crimes ranging from election interference to inciting a deadly insurrection. Trump is by far the greatest risk to the safety and welfare of the American people.

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

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

Donald Trump Zombie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BONKERS TRUMP Calls Fox News to Whine and Lie Following the Kamala Harris Convention Speech

Posted by on August 23, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 2 Comments :

The Democratic National Convention of 2024 has wrapped and it is destined to reside in history for a multitude of reasons. Not the least of which is that it certified the nomination of Kamala Harris, who is likely to become the first woman President of the United States. The four day celebration was well received by a nation that is ready to move forward.

Click here to Tweet this article

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

The convention was an affair that presented the stark differences between Harris – an experienced, qualified candidate, with integrity and passion, who resonates joy and the pride of patriotism, and Donald Trump – a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who is consumed by hatred, vengeance, and a dark vision of America. And the lower Trump sinks in the polls, the darker his vision becomes.

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

The final day of the convention featured Harris’ nomination acceptance speech (here it is in full). It was a critical moment for her campaign, and she rose to the occasion. She provided a heartwarming biography, a resume of experience and achievements, the case against Trump, and inspiration for the path forward. All in a succinctly written and sincerely delivered package.

Meanwhile, Trump was seething in his jammies at his Mar-a-Lago bunker and live-trolling the speech on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, for the tiny and shrinking audience of cult disciples who actually use the website. Here is a representative sampling of his keen commentary…

At the conclusion of Harris’ speech, Fox News dispensed with reporting on anything newsworthy that might have occurred. Instead, hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum immediately turned to a special guest for some “insightful” analysis. That guest was – you guessed it – Donald Trump. He was phoning in to the network from his Palm Beach hotel/home for a knee-jerk repudiation of whatever Harris had to say. And it was ten minutes of spittle-inflected lunacy and unbridled fear (video below). What follows are some choice excerpts. He began by asking a typically ridiculous question…

“Why didn’t she do the things that she’s complaining about? All of these things that she talked about? ‘We are gonna to do this. We’re gonna do that. We’re gonna do everything.’ But she didn’t do any of it. She could have done it three and a half years ago.”

So Trump thinks that Harris, as Vice-President, ought to have accomplished everything that she is currently advocating. He can’t comprehend that she might have new proposals or that prior initiatives were incomplete due to obstruction from Republicans. He also doesn’t realize that the same question could be asked of him. He had four years to do everything he’s talking about now, but failed to do. And he was actually the president. Also, Trump is intent on framing Harris as “complaining.” Which he’s likely upset about because that’s his thing. How dare she?

“It was a lot of complaining. […] She didn’t talk about how 70% of our people are living in property (sic: he presumably meant poverty). […] She didn’t talk about child trafficking that she allowed to happen because she was the border czar.”

Perhaps the reason that Harris didn’t talk about the “70% of our people are living in poverty,” is that that is a preposterous falsehood. The poverty rate is currently less than 12%. Also, Trump must have fallen asleep when Harris actually did talk about child trafficking. And she was never the “border czar.” That’s a tired right-wing fallacy.

In this part of his rant Trump also lied that Harris didn’t talk about several other issues (Russia, China, Ukraine, economy, housing, etc.), all of which she talked about. He also claimed that she didn’t talk about interest rates that he said “are getting now close to record rates.” Interest rates are currently about 5.5%. The record is about 20%.

MacCallum then asked about Harris’ proposed middle-class tax cuts and Trump’s plans that will cost Americans $3,900.00 more per year. And she incorrectly states that that number came from Trump’s Project 2025. To which Trump replied…

“Well she knows I have nothing to do with Project 25 (sic). They throw out – a group of people got together – they did this thing, I haven’t even seen it, I don’t want to see it, I told them specifically, I don’t want to see it.”

First of all, the amount of the Trump taxes didn’t come from Project 2025. They came from Trump’s proposal to put tariffs on virtually every imported product. And as for his ignorance of Project 2025, the facts are that its principals are largely Trump associates who have worked in his White House and campaigns. Which doesn’t necessarily mean that he isn’t ignorant anyway, knowing Trump.

Baier then asked Trump about his efforts to kill the bipartisan Senate immigration bill, and whether he was ready to debate Kamala Harris on that. He went immediately to a narrower reply about debating, saying that he was “willing to debate on September 4th on Fox.” Which was never agreed to by Harris.

MORE HERE: Crybaby Trump Runs Whining to Sean Hannity When Kamala Harris Passes on Biased Fox News Debate

After rambling incoherently about that, Baier reminded Trump about the immigration question.

“On the immigration it’s very simple. The bill was horrible. It would have allowed millions of people to pour into our country. Would have been horrible. It was a horrible bill.”

That’s about as detailed as Trump can get on anything. He has no knowledge of any issue. What’s more, it is flagrantly false. The immigration bill’s primary author was conservative Republican Sen. James Lankford. And it included most of the GOP’s long sought border initiatives.

MacCallum asked Trump about polls showing the “huge appeal and momentum” that Harris has had, and her success with women, Hispanics, Blacks, and youth. Which drove Trump into a delusional tizzy…

“No, she’s not having success. I’m having success. I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters. I’m doing great with Black men. I’m doing great with women because women want safety. They want safety. And they don’t have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country. Many of them very dangerous people.

“No, it’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha. We’re doing very well in the polls. We’re leading in most of the polls. And in the swing states we’re leading in almost every one of them.”

Wow! Trump’s malignant narcissism is really peaking. He is clinging desperately to fantasies that everyone adores him. And if he actually believes what he’s saying about leading in the polls, he is truly a candidate for involuntary institutionalization. In the RealClear Politics poll of polls, Harris is leading in 7 out 10 of the ten most recent surveys. And two of those where Trump is ahead are by the disreputable Rasmussen.

Look for Trump to get even more deranged as his electoral prospects continue to decline. And watch for that to be aired as it happens on Fox News. In recent weeks he has gone from calling Harris “Laffin’ Kamala,” to “Comrade Kamala.” in this phone-in to Fox News he raged “Look, she’s a Marxist. She always was. She always will be.” It won’t be long now before he accuses her of being Lizard Person who is controlled by Hannibal Lector.

Trump Issues An Impotent Threat of Mass Incarceration of Imaginary Migrant ‘Election Fraudsters’

Posted by on July 9, 2024 at 1:24 pm. 0 Comments :

The authoritarian compulsions of convicted felon Donald Trump have exhibited themselves in his frequent and public declarations of overt intentions to seek “retribution” against his perceived enemies, including all Democrats, insufficiently worshipful Republicans, independent judges, domestic and foreign diplomats, disloyal business leaders, and, of course, the media that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

Trump’s obsession with getting revenge on those he believes have wronged him has been the single most motivating factor in his campaign to reoccupy the White House, with the possible exception of his fear of being sent to prison himself for his multitude of crimes. His response to that fear is to threaten his foes with prosecution, including charges of treason that carry the death penalty.

SEE THIS: The Supreme Court Immunity Case is Even Scarier Knowing Trump Threatened to Execute His Critics

On Tuesday Trump extended his threats to a group of people that he has long detested: Immigrants. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted a comment in support of a new Republican bill aimed at making it illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote in federal elections. Which is a blatantly transparent political stunt because, of course, that is already illegal. Trump wrote that…

“Republicans must pass the Save Act, or go home and cry yourself to sleep. Non citizen Illegal Migrants are getting the right to vote […] Our whole voting system is under siege.”

To no one’s surprise, Trump is lying. There aren’t any “Non citizen Illegal Migrants [who] are getting the right to vote.” And his baseless assertion that the “whole voting system is under siege,” is utterly delusional. If that were true, why didn’t Trump do anything about it in the four years that he was pretending to be president? Where is his evidence that it is happening now? But despite his complete departure from reality, Trump went on to issue a foreboding threat…

“If I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time. We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”

So Trump is specifically threatening to arrest and imprison Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, along with hundreds (thousands?) of others whose names he allegedly already knows, but whom he has declined to report to the authorities. Are you one of them?

This threat is consistent with Trump’s often hyperbolic proclamations that immigrants are running rampant throughout the nation, committing crimes with the approval of the Biden administration. He has promised to deport some 15 million people whose immigration status he can’t even certify. That would undoubtedly lead to untold numbers of American citizens being shipped off to foreign lands that they never knew.

Trump has never explained how his deportation scheme would be carried out. But for the record, it would take some 75,000 flights to transport 15 million people to other countries around the world. That would cost at least $7.5 billion. And that isn’t counting the billions it would take for law enforcement to round them up, or to build and staff the internment camps where they would have to be housed until their status and country of origin were established.

Trump is also advancing the virulently racist “White Replacement Theory” that posits that Democrats are trying to import foreigners in order to shift the balance of the electorate. Never mind that it would take many years for any immigrant, much less an undocumented one, to be granted legal status and eventually citizenship.

Trump is engaging in another impotent threat that is based on solely on his seething hatred and perverse perspective of the world. He couldn’t carry it out even if he were reelected. And reality has shown us that nearly every legitimate case of election fraud in the past several years was the work of Republicans. But Trump has never been one to allow facts to interfere with his fetid fantasies.

Trump Weighs in on the Campus Israeli/Palestinian Protests in the Most Trumpian Way Imaginable

Posted by on May 1, 2024 at 2:24 pm. NO Comments :

For the past couple of weeks American college campuses have been roiled by student protests over the conflict in Gaza and the overly harsh measures taken by Israel against the Palestinian residents. Most Americans support Israel’s right to defend itself, particularly after the brutal terrorist attack on October 7th. But the nation is united against the massacre of civilians by the Netanyahu regime.

Donald Trump Insurrection

While it is nearly impossible to get Donald Trump to shut up about any public matter that he thinks he can exploit to his advantage, it took many days of national demonstrations to finally get him to stake out a position on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. And not surprisingly, he has adopted one that features himself as the savior and the only person capable of restoring peace. Which is his knee-jerk reaction to nearly every crisis.

SEE THIS: Self-Appointed Pseudo Messiah Trump Decrees that ‘Nobody Else’ But Him Can Keep Israel Safe

On Tuesday Trump took to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, to post a couple of comments that said much more than he intended. The first said that…

“Tremendous damage done too, when you look at that building. That’s a landmark and it’s really been damaged badly by these people.”

And the second said that…

“People have to RESPECT LAW AND ORDER in this Country.”

Those are extraordinarily oblivious statements that, for most Americans, will only serve as reminders of the violent insurrection that Trump incited on January 6, 2021. During that riot, that was deliberately designed to obstruct Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election, there was also a building – the United States Congress – that was a landmark and that was also badly damaged by the domestic terrorists of Trump’s cult. In fact, the StormTrumpers caused millions of dollars in damage to the Capitol, as well as injuries to more than 140 law enforcement officers.

That is Trump’s idea of “RESPECT[ing] LAW AND ORDER.” But he wasn’t finished with his ludicrous ranting about the campus protests. He later posted another comment that revealed just how deeply deranged he is, and by association, how gullible and dangerous his cult disciples are. Trump wrote that…

“Do you think that the Radical Left Lunatics that are causing all of the CHAOS at our Colleges and Universities are doing so in order to take the FOCUS away from our Southern Border, where millions of people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country? Just askin’…???”

That’s right. Trump is dispensing a crackpot conspiracy theory that the student protesters aren’t really there to express their disapproval of Israel’s hostilities toward Palestinian civilians. According To Trump they are covert immigration activists engaged in a clandestine mission to deflect attention away from refugees seeking safety and freedom in the U.S.

What a devious plot. And one for which Trump has no shred of evidence. So where did Trump get this preposterous theory? Apparently from his asinine and demented imagination that is obsessed with the nether regions of the nation. What’s more, he is joining the MAGA GOP crowd in maligning the protesters as anti-Semitic. But the way that we know that that is utter nonsense is that if these protesters were anti-Semitic, Trump would be calling them “very fine people.”

So Trump’s morning outrage has covered his notion that thousands of American students across the country are secretly fighting to bring foreign convicts and mental patients into America. And it also served as reminder of the horrific physical and property damage caused by his January 6th insurrectionists. All of which means that Trump will regard this as a productive day and take the rest of it off. Which he will surely appreciate because he has another strenuous day of napping in court tomorrow.

HUH? Fox News Reports that the Eclipse is a Clandestine Plot to Sneak Migrants Into America

Posted by on April 8, 2024 at 1:38 pm. 3 Comments :

The “news” editors at Fox News must have been working all night to come up with an angle on the eclipse that would titillate their MAGA cult viewers. There is no way that they would be satisfied wasting untold hours reporting on a rare celestial event without some sort of propaganda to boost Donald Trump and his agenda of hate and lies.

Fox News, Fake News

Well, all of that hard work paid off as Fox News aired a segment about the eclipse on Monday morning’s episode of “America’s Newsroom.” Rather than fiddle with irrelevancies like facts on astronomical events and history, or interviews of scientists, Fox News bravely forged an uncommon path to reveal something that the rest of the media had missed or was deliberately suppressing…

Host Dana Perino: “A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border will be directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun for nearly four minutes.”
Host Bill Hemmer: We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual. And that means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”
Correspondent Bill Melugin: While everybody is gonna be looking up, if you’re looking down here at the border, here is what you’ll see. Take a look at the video from nearby New Mexico, which is seeing a surge of illegal alien evaders […] You’ll see illegal immigrants dressed in dark clothing, sometimes camouflage, trying to sneak into the United States.

That’s right! The eclipse is really a clandestine operation by liberals – probably run by the evil mastermind, President Biden, and financed by George Soros – aimed at smuggling terrorist migrants into America to vote for Biden and other Democrats. Who knew? And who but Fox News would expose this nefarious plot?

The America-haters responsible for devising this plan to create a deluge of foreign “invaders” – in a four minute cloak of darkness – have thought of everything. Including dark and camouflage clothing to keep them from being spotted in the unprecedented absence of daylight. Naturally, Fox News ignores that there are about twelve hours of darkness every day when the earth itself blots out the sun. Is Biden responsible for that too?

This kind of reporting is somehow accepted by the MAGA cult that watches Fox News. They are the same people who are asserting that the eclipse is a warning from god to repent. Which raises some interesting questions. For instance, if it is a warning from god, then why is it being thrust upon the people of Texas and other Southern states first? Wouldn’t that imply that they are the sinners?

What’s more, if the eclipse is creating an opportunity for migrants to enter the U.S., then wouldn’t it be more logical to assume that god is trying to help the migrants flee violence, poverty, and oppression, and find freedom and safety in America? That, at least, would be consistent with the bible’s advocacy of welcoming and caring for refugees.

This is where it is important to stress that searching for logic in the ravings of Fox News reporters and Republicans is likely to cause a traumatic brain injury. So remember on this day not to stare into the sun or try to decipher the irrational ravings of MAGA cult conspiracy theorists. This has been a public service announcement.

Watch Fox News Host Prove that She’s Lying About Democrats Using A.l. to Alter Trump’s Words

Posted by on April 4, 2024 at 1:54 pm. 1 Comments :

The mission of Fox News from its inception has been to promote far-right politics and the Republican Party. However, in recent years it has shifted to an even more extreme bias in favor one Republican in particular. The Fox News devotion to Donald Trump and his MAGA cult has been an all-consuming obsession that abandons any connection to journalism or even patriotism.

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Consequently, Fox News has never felt compelled to provide any factual basis for their flagrantly dishonest propaganda. It’s why they produce stories like the the one this week about President Biden allegedly prohibiting religious symbols on Easter eggs during the White House holiday event, when that was a rule that’s been in place for 45 years, including during Trump’s occupation of the White House. It’s why Fox News often winds up inadvertently slamming their own GOP allies who they regard as insufficiently committed to lock-step party uniformity, like good fascists…

SEE THIS: Has Fox News Finally Figured it Out? ‘This is Why Conservatives Call the GOP the Stupid Party’

On Thursday morning, Fox News host Harris Faulkner unleashed a segment wherein she disgorged her outrage at Democrats who she accused of distorting Trump’s words. Of course, Democrats have no need to distort anything Trump says, because his rhetoric is heinously offensive without any artificial alteration.

Nevertheless, Faulkner made the wholly unsupported allegation that some unnamed nefarious Democrat employed Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to alter what Trump said at his cult rally in Michigan.

Faulkner: It didn’t happen the way the Dems say it did. Here’s a clip that Team Biden posted from Trump’s speech in Michigan this week…
Trump (Video): Democrats said “Please don’t call them animals.” I said “No, they’re not humans. They’re animals.”
Faulkner: Here’s what he actually said. Trump’s words. Actually said this…
Trump (Video): The 22 year old nursing student in Georgia who was barbarically murdered by an illegal alien animal. The Democrats said “Please don’t call them animals.” I said “No, they’re not humans. They’re animals.”
Faulkner: First of all, how in the world did they edit all those words together to even put something like what they had. That’s amazing. […] What are they using? A.I.?”

OMG: Did everyone notice that Faulkner’s video of Trump’s blatant racism said exactly the same thing as the video that Faulkner said was the work of Democrats? The only difference was Trump’s preface about the tragically murdered student (about whom he lied saying he had spoken to her family). But that didn’t change the racist context of his remarks at all. He didn’t call just the alleged murderer an animal. He said that “THEY are animals.” It was a clear reference to all migrants.

Contrary to Faulkner’s deliberate lie, there was no modification whatsoever, A.I. or otherwise. Her amazement at how Democrats supposedly “edit(ed) all those words together” is bizarre, considering that the words were identical. And this was her own video “proof” of some sort of Democratic deception? The real question is not “What are they using?” It’s “What is SHE using?”

And yet, the Fox News viewers will likely fail to see any problem with this bullpucky. They will swallow it whole and come away believing that Democrats manufactured everything that Trump said. And at the same time they will agree with everything that Trump said. That’s the nature of a cult. And Fox News is the Ministry of Disinformation for the Cult of Trump (aka the Republican Party), where Trump’s words can be simultaneously fake and correct.
