Trump and GOP Big Shots ‘Endorse’ Kamala Harris and Want Her to Become President Immediately

Posted by on July 22, 2024 at 1:08 pm. 3 Comments :

In the few hours since President Biden stunned the nation and the world by announcing that he would not be seeking reelection, the response from Democrats has been unbridled joy, excitement, and anticipation of a brutal beatdown of Donald Trump and his MAGA, Project 2025, goose-stepping march toward totalitarianism.

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The elevation of Vice-President Kamala Harris to the likely Democratic nominee for president quickly drew record breaking donations that exceeded $67 million in less than 12 hours. And it’s still growing as Americans vote with their wallets for a competent, experienced, compassionate leader. As opposed to the the convicted felon, financial fraudster, and adjudicated rapist that the Republicans are slobbering over.

Harris has also racked up endorsements from virtually every significant Democrat, beginning of course with Joe Biden. That endorsement was soon followed by others from Nancy Pelosi, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, Jim Clyburn, Pete Buttigieg, Adam Schiff, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and too many more to mention.

What may be somewhat less predictable is the rush of Republicans who seem to be in favor of Harris becoming president, and the sooner the better. Of course, these Republicans are not exactly supporters of Harris, but their vitriol aimed at Biden is so all-consuming that they have lost control of their already enfeebled minds. Their hate is driving them to call for Biden to resign from the presidency, which would result in Harris being sworn in immediately thereafter. They include…

  • Felon Donald Trump: “Crooked Joe, he has no idea where he is. If he can’t run for office, he can’t run our Country!!!”
  • Speaker Mike Johnson: “If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately.”
  • Gov. Sarah Huckabee: “Not fit to run for president, not fit to serve as president.”
  • Rep. Elise Stefanik: “He must immediately resign.”
  • Rep. Lauren Boebert: “Joe Biden is fit to serve out the remainder of his term? #25th Amendment”

That’s right! All of these MAGA Republicans – and there more – are advocating for Biden to leave office now and make Harris the incumbent candidate for president. And since incumbency is such a powerful factor in electoral politics, that would be greatly advantageous to her already surging campaign.

To be clear, the argument that these GOP Harris “endorsers” are making is based on a perverse diversion from reality. They are asserting that Biden is stepping aside due to some cognitive disability that would make him unfit to continue serving in office as President. But that’s patently false. Biden’s decision was based on the political realities of the campaign and the pressure from nervous Democrats as to his ability to prevail in November.

None of that impacts Biden’s ability to continue to be one of the most productive and successful presidents of modern times. In fact, his decision to stand down is actually evidence of his intellectual prowess, as well as his selfless devotion to his country over personal concerns.

If the Republicans are looking for a presidential candidate who is unfit to serve, they need look no farther than their own cult master, Donald Trump. Since Biden’s announcement Trump has been frothing at the mouth on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. Among the truly deranged comments he has posted are that “Biden never had Covid. He is a threat to Democracy!” Which maybe makes perfect sense to someone suffering from Acute Brain Rot. Trump also posted a comment that reveals his growing fear of having to face Harris in a debate…

“My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September. Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you! DJT”

Not only does Trump mislabel Biden’s ranking as President (it’s Trump who is the worst according to presidential historians), and unloads another of his infantile insults (“Slopadopolus”), but he also makes an incomprehensible argument that the network presenting an upcoming debate be changed to his own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Why? What does Biden dropping out have to do with that?

Clearly Trump is just trying to lay the groundwork for him to chicken out. He knows that he can’t match wits with Harris and is grasping for excuses to avoid being humiliated by her. Which is peculiar because he doesn’t seem to mind humiliating himself every time he opens his mouth. And that is surely going to continue for duration of this campaign.

Crybaby Trump: I Hate it When People Laugh at Me, and When Kamala Harris Laughs at All

Posted by on July 21, 2024 at 1:19 pm. 5 Comments :

Donald Trump may have just provided Democrats with the best campaign tactic to deploy against him. Not that his atrocious record in office, or his vicious hostility, or his infantile behavior, or his humiliating ignorance, or his 34 felony convictions, or his 54 other pending felony indictments, or his half-billion dollar judgment for having committed financial, or his adjudication as a rapist, or his aspirations to be a dictator, weren’t enough.

Donald Trump, Pennywise

At his most recent traveling cult revival show, Trump delivered a speech that was replete with his standard playlist of bizarre and offensive commentaries. This was his first rally since his disastrous nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. That speech was widely panned for its litany of lies and for being so boring that his own cult disciples were leaving early and/or falling asleep.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags (Lies) About His Low Rated, Lie-Riddled RNC Speech that Put His Audience to Sleep

At his rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump effectively to put rest any notion that his recent brush with “ear” death would moderate his behavior and cause him to seek unity. He spent the entire time insulting his political foes with his typical kindergarten style put downs. And high on the list of his targets was Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The significance of Trump singling out Harris was greatly expanded when the news came out that President Biden is standing down from the race, and endorsing Harris. This development will shake things up and leave the race with only one crazy Old Coot – a convict out on bail – running against a former prosecutor. So what is Trump’s leading argument against Harris? She laughs!

“Kamala, I call her laughing Kamala. Did you ever watch her laugh? She is crazy. You can tell a lot by a laugh. She’s crazy. She’s nuts. She is not as crazy as Nancy Pelosi. Crazy Nancy.”

OMG! Harris is a confidant, capable, compassionate, experienced, public servant who is also a happy, well adjusted, human being who enjoys life. How can Trump run against that? It’s so unfair. He is a miserable, noxious, repulsive, despised, loser, who if he laughs at all, it is only at the misfortune of others. The only enjoyment he gets out of life is mocking people and whining about what a poor, pathetic victim he is.

At the same rally Trump revealed something about himself that was already well known by anyone who has been paying attention. He has no sense of humor or ability to appreciate joy. He grouched that…

“They laughed at me. I hate when people laugh at me. I hate it. It’s so disrespectful. They laughed at me.”

That’s right! And “they” will continue laughing at him because he is such a clownish figure who seems intent on embarrassing himself. The entire General Assembly of the United Nations laughed at him. Dictators like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, laugh at him as they exploit his weaknesses.

So thanks, Don, for letting Harris and other Democrats know that we can combat your lies and drive you crazy(er) by just continuing to laugh at you. Which we, and so many others, do anyway.

Of course, late night comedians also laugh at Trump, along with the millions of viewers in their audiences. In that respect, he is a bottomless well of comedic material…

SUCH AS: The Daily Show Hysterically Highlights the Hatred of Trump by Those Who Know Him Best

However, as we are laughing, we must not lose sight of the fact that what stirs such uproarious guffaws is often a cathartic release triggered by Trump’s abhorrent remarks and attempts to undermine democracy. He remains an imminent threat to the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution. And our laughter must be tempered with the reality that, for the sake of the nation and the world, he must be prevented from ever holding any office of authority. In the meantime… HAHAHAHAHAHA

And then there’s this…

Trump Brags (Lies) About His Low Rated, Lie-Riddled RNC Speech that Put His Audience to Sleep

Posted by on July 20, 2024 at 11:39 am. 3 Comments :

In the days preceding Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, the media generously regurgitated the GOP fairy tale that Trump would be rebranding himself as a uniter with a calm, rational approach to governing. Never mind that this is the umpteenth time that Trump was supposedly going to pivot to a new persona that is light years from anything he has shown for decades.

Donald Trump TV Set

How the press justified spreading that malarkey is a mystery considering that Trump has never been anything but a divisive purveyor of rabid hostility and infantile insults aimed at anyone – Democratic or Republican – who was not sufficiently worshipful. His idea of unity means to unite behind his messianic eminence. It is not so much about bringing people together as it is about purging every dissenter.

SEE THIS: Felonious Trump Says Uniting the Nation Means Giving Him the Freedom to Commit Crimes at Will

When it came time for Trump to deliver his highly anticipated unification speech, he didn’t disappoint the critics who knew at the outset that he couldn’t pull off that sort of transformation. What he unleashed to the glassy-eyed cult disciples in the convention hall was a stream-of-consciousness harangue that went on for 96 minutes without ever providing a single policy proposal or affirmative vision for the future. It was nothing more than a rehash of his America-bashing rally rants, except spoken in a slower, more stodgy style.

So no one should be surprised that Trump was ecstatic about his own performance. He posted a couple of comments on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, exalting himself and lying about his reception by the public. He began by bragging about…

“Big TV RATINGS last night for the Republican Convention, the best and most successful in history! Fox led the way. MSNBC was dead last. Four Great Days!!!”

Fact Check: FALSE! The ratings for Trump’s speech were less than stellar. The first three nights of the MAGA-fest were not exactly barn burners. And while the final night’s tally was an improved 25.38 million viewers, that’s only 6% more than the COVID-hampered 4th night of the 2020 RNC convention. Even worse, it was about 20% lower than the 2016 affair.

Speaking of Fact checks, Trump was found to have lied more than twenty times during his speech.

The only plausible claim of historical success was that Fox News drew its highest number ever for a nomination acceptance speech. But it isn’t exactly news that Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda did well while airing their Dear Leader. Even so, more people watched on networks other than Fox.

What’s more, Trump’s viewership was likely lower than these numbers represent because he didn’t begin his marathon monologue (the longest ever at 96 minutes) until about 10:30 ET, and didn’t finish until after midnight. These ratings don’t detail any viewing after primetime, which ends at 11:00. And the audience generally declines as it gets later in the evening.

The other Trump comment on Truth Social was his expression of gratitude for the reception he received…

“Thank you to all for the great reviews of my speech last night. It was my great honor to make it!!! DJT”

As usual, Trump is wallowing in pool of narcissistic delusion. What follows are just a few of the reviews of Trump’s widely panned spiel…

  • Politico: “Trump Derailed His Own Convention Speech”
  • New York Times: “One of the Truly Awful and Self-Indulgent Performances of Our Time”
  • Mediaite: “Trump ‘Diehards’ at RNC Get ‘Restless’ as Subdued and Rambling Trump Speech Runs Over 90 Minutes”
  • Washington Post: “Donald Trump missed his chance with his convention speech”
  • Daily Beast: “Donald Trump’s RNC Speech Wasn’t Just Bad and Mad, it Was Boring”
  • Fox News: “Trump’s lengthy RNC speech ripped by ‘The View'”
  • The Hollywood Reporter: Donald Trump Returns to Bad Form — and Gives the Democrats Hope
  • Newsweek: “Donald Trump’s RNC Speech Appears to Send Attendees to Sleep”

Ironically, the musical coda to Trump’s speech was the aria “Nessun Dorma” from the final act of Puccini’s opera “Turandot.” The title translates from Italian to “No one sleeps.” If that was intended to be an order, they should have done it before Trump started talking.

For the record, Trump’s speech underperformed similar public addresses by President Biden, whose final night in 2020 drew 24.6 million viewers. That’s slightly less than than Trump’s, but it was delivered during a virtual convention due to COVID. More recently, Biden’s State of the Union address drew more than 32 million viewers earlier this year. The Biden/Trump debate had an audience of 51 million.

All in all, Trump’s ratings are nothing to brag about. But that doesn’t stop him from doing so. He is obsessed with numbers, whether it’s ratings, or net worth, or crowd size at his cult rallies. And he will lie profusely in order pump himself up. It’s the one thing we can rely on from Trump.

Trump’s MAGA RNC Convention Suffers Sharp Ratings Decline From Prior Years and Biden Speech

Posted by on July 17, 2024 at 1:21 pm. 2 Comments :

The Republican National Convention launched this week and immediately rocketed into the hearts of the America people with such MAGA luminaries as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, puppy killing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, model and reality TV personality Amber Rose, White nationalist whisperer Charlie Kirk, and, of course, Dear Leader himself, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

The popularity of the GOP roster was promoted as a blockbuster lineup that threatened to break all records for television viewing as the Trump Train chugged into the nation’s homes via the media that it regards as the “enemy of the people.” Never mind that Trump is among the most despised political figures in decades who voters find repulsive for both his policies and his personality.

SEE THIS: Nearly 70% are More Worried About a President Who is a Liar than One Who is Old – Trump is Both

The ratings for the first day of the Convention are out, and they reflect just how deplorable he is held by the American people. As reported by Variety…

“The first telecasts of the Republican National Convention on Monday drew in 18.1 million viewers across networks, per Nielsen.

“That total, measured during the 10 p.m. ET hour, accounts for 12 broadcasters and cablers: ABC, CBS, NBC, Scripps News, Telemundo, CNN, Fox Business, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, Newsmax, NewsNation and PBS, with Nielsen noting that Telemundo only aired 9 minutes of RNC coverage.

“Fox News led the pack by far with 6.9 million viewers at 10 p.m. Next was ABC with 2.3 million viewers, NBC with 2.2 million, CBS with 1.8 million, MSNBC with 1.3 million and CNN with 1.1 million.”

It should come as no surprise that Fox News – Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – would deliver the lion’s share of the convention audience. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation that watches more credible news sources got comparatively little exposure to the RNC’s unreality show. So Trump had sparse opportunity to spread his message to anyone but the already indoctrinated members of the MAGA cult. And Fox News benefited from the broadcast, despite Trump’s own vacillating opinion of the ultra-rightist outlet.

It is notable that the 18 million viewers that watched the affair on Monday is considerably less than the 23 million that tuned into the RNC’s convention in 2016. And it is also only slightly more than than the 17 million who watched in 2020, even though that convention was largely scrapped due to COVID. Furthermore, this feeble showing occurred despite newsworthy highlights including Trump naming his vice-presidential running mate, and this being his first public appearance since the “Earlobe Stigmata” he received at his Pennsylvania rally.

What may be most painful for Trump is that the ratings for his convention so far are also far less than the 24 million viewers that President Biden drew for his post-NATO press conference just last week. So it’s another defeat for Trump at the hands of “Sleepy Joe.” It won’t be long before Trump whines that the Nielsen ratings are “rigged” and the whole thing is a “hoax” and/or a “witch hunt” aimed at “stealing” his victory.

THIS JUST IN: The RNC’s ratings for the second night also declined from 2016 and 2020. This year the Trump gala drew only 14.8 million viewers, compared to 19 million for each of the prior two conventions.

UPDATE: Trump’s acceptance speech also bombs in the ratings and in the reviews.

Trump Spokesmodel Tells Fox News that ‘the Left is Godless’ in Post-Shooting Play for – Unity?

Posted by on July 16, 2024 at 1:20 pm. 4 Comments :

Republicans have spent years proclaiming themselves to be the party of Jesus. They regard their people and their policies as the divine product of pure Christian conviction. And therefore, whatever they do and say is sanctioned by god and elevated from merely the political to the pious.

Flaming Trump

The fulfillment of that feeble faithfulness has finally been achieved with the descent of Donald Trump to the Earthly realm. His MAGA cult disciples revere him as a messenger from heaven, despite his alignment with a place much farther down. They believe that he was sent to slay their foes (i.e. Blacks, gays, and all manner of liberals). The MAGAtists see him that way because he sees himself that way, and who are they to disagree? They will obediently comply and bequeath unto him their funds to purchase his Trump-branded bible and cover his legal expenses incurred from his communion with porn stars and committing fraud. And then there’s this…

SEE THIS: Immaculate Birther: Donald Trump Says He Doesn’t Have To Ask God For Forgiveness

In the days that followed the shooting in Pennsylvania that resulted in Trump’s “Earlobe Stigmata,” many of Trump’s devotees have testified on television that he is the beneficiary of divine intervention by virtue of his having survived. They apparently believe that the Trump fan who died deserved it, so god forsook him. And on Tuesday morning, the preachers on Fox News visited with Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications (aka Propaganda), Caroline Sunshine, to glory in the light of the Don. Trump’s Sunshine engaged in the following exchange with Fox’s Harris Faulkner…

Faulkner: People are praying for him. People have tapped into that. How does the left come against that? What are they gonna do?
Sunshine: I think the left is godless. And I don’t feel like it’s hard to say that. I don’t say that from a place of malice. I say that as a woman of deep faith myself.[…]

The MAGA movement is full of people that love our country, but love god. What president Trump survived is divine intervention. […] It’s good to remember that good does defeat evil.”

Harris is correct that people have been praying for Trump. Including President Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and many more of the Democrats who offered their prayers, but who Faulkner never mentioned, and who Sunshine believes are evil.

Sunshine claims that her accusation that “the left is godless” comes from being “a woman of deep faith.” That is an explicitly anti-Christian attitude. She might want to refer to Matthew 7, that warns “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” And despite her denial, she is speaking purely with malice. There is simply no other way to describe it. Particularly when she elaborates by implying that Democrats are “evil.”

It’s also notable that these malicious comments come so soon after many Americans of all political persuasions have expressed their desire to turn down the harsh rhetoric and seek to unite the country in its common goals. Both Biden and Trump have publicly promised to do so. But only Biden has kept that promise. Trump, on the other hand, has bizarrely defined “unity” as giving him the freedom to commit crimes at will. and his MAGAtists have gone full bore into blaming Biden and Democrats for the violence that Trump has incited for years.

The phony piety of pseudo-religious Republicans has long registered abnormally high on the hypocrisy scale. But now, with Trump’s resurrection from near – er, make that ear – death, it is completely off the charts. Their adoption of Trump as messiah is complete. And they will proselytize that blasphemy from now until November 5th, and probably longer. Especially if he loses. That’s what cults do.

MAGA World Blames Biden and Democrats for the Violence that Trump Has Incited for Years

Posted by on July 14, 2024 at 11:50 am. 1 Comments :

First Things First: Violence in the pursuit of political ends is never acceptable. Those who choose bullets over ballots are not only barbarous cretins, they are counterproductive to their own twisted objectives. Case in point: The tinhorn terrorist who shot at Donald Trump didn’t advance his goals one bit, but he did give Trump the imprimatur of political martyr that he has long coveted.

Donald Trump, Fox News, QAnon

That said, the reactions coming from many of Trump’s MAGA confederates have served only to inflame the division and hostility that has been a hallmark of Trump’s tactics since embarking on a career as a populist cult leader. Their seething animus and warped fixation on vengeance has been turned up to a raging boil. It’s a state that Trump has guided them toward all along (and resulted in the January 6th insurrection), even while pretending that it’s his opponents who are prone to violence…

SEE THIS: PROJECTION: The Creators of Trump’s Project 2025 Say Biden is Plotting to Retain Power By Force

Rather than trying to cool down the rhetoric and find unity in opposition to violence, the MAGA Klan has been furiously blaming President Biden and other Democrats for the loathsome acts of a lone wolf, who it turns out was a registered Republican. They complain that Biden has ratcheted up the rhetoric by accurately pointing out why Trump is a threat to democracy. But they dismiss Trump’s unwarranted name-calling of Biden and every Democrat as “radical Marxists and fascist thugs.” Among the StormTrumpers who have explicitly exploited the shooting are prominent Republican members of Congress. For instance…

  • JD Vance: “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”
  • Mike Collins: “Joe Biden sent the orders.”
  • Ronny Jackson: “Trump-deranged Left wing LUNATICS that parade around MSNBC and other FAKE NEWS “outlets” demonizing Trump and calling him Hitler are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for this violent attack on President Trump’s life!! They have BLOOD on their hands.”
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Someone just tried to ASSASSINATE President Trump. The Democrats and the media are to blame for every drop of blood spilled today. […] President Trump said “FIGHT,” SO WE WILL!!”

And that’s not all. Republicans have also quickly pivoted to make political hay of the event, boasting that, as a result of the shooting, Trump “just won the election.” And GOP Sen. Mike Lee thinks that Trump should be granted immunity for his own completely unrelated criminal conduct in a call for Biden “to immediately order that all federal criminal charges against President Trump be dropped.”

SEE ALSO: Total Insanity: Trump Says the Supreme Court’s Immunity Decision is a ‘Total Exoneration’

The fact that the shooter was a registered Republican is not necessarily determinative of anything, because there are lots of Republicans who oppose Trump. Including many of his former Cabinet heads and administration staffers. But it does eliminate the right-wing blather about an alleged Democratic shooter.

As for Trump, he sent out a message prior to the Pennsylvania rally that promised that “ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IN ONE HOUR” and that “I could be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT that’s sure to strike FEAR into the hearts of our DEEP STATE ENEMIES.” Those are not exactly the sort of comments that precede a peacefully rally.

Meanwhile, in stark contrast to the MAGA GOP, it is Democrats who have taken the safe and sane approach, calling for unity and the repudiation of violence. Everyone from Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and many more have all said that political violence is unacceptable and offered their prayers for the welfare of Trump and the other victims. President Biden himself made a public statement of concern for both Trump and the state of American politics…

Unfortunately, if the remarks by the Republicans above and others are any indication, the MAGA crowd does not appear ready or able to behave themselves. Hopefully they will have a change of heart. And the Republican convention that begins next week will reveal what course they intend to take going forward.

PROJECTION: The Creators of Trump’s Project 2025 Say Biden is Plotting to Retain Power By Force

Posted by on July 13, 2024 at 12:19 pm. 2 Comments :

The extremist right-wing faction in America that forms the core of the Cult of Trump has long been defined by the regressive policies advanced by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation. It’s an organization that has recently enjoyed a spike in media attention with its release of “Project 2025,” a 900 page handbook for fascism that was authored by many of Donald Trump’s closest associates.

Donald Trump Insurrection

In case you missed it, Project 2025 is a manual for constructing an authoritarian state run by MAGA Republicans. It calls for expanding presidential powers to exert unprecedented control over all executive branch agencies, It proposes to terminate civil service staffers and replace them with MAGA loyalists, enacting voter suppression measures, repealing healthcare legislation, deregulating corporations, imposing media censorship, and more. It’s so abhorrent and unpopular that Trump has tried to distance himself from it…

SEE THIS: Trump Denies Knowing Anything About the ‘Abysmal’ Project 2025 that He Definitely Knows About

A new report reveals the lengths that Trump and his Heritage Foundation confederates will go to consolidate power and suppress the democratic principles enshrined in the Constitution. As reported by the Associated Press…

“A conservative think tank that is planning for a complete overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win is suggesting that President Joe Biden might try to hold the White House ‘by force’ if he loses the November election.

“The Heritage Foundation’s warning — which goes against Biden’s own public statements — appeared in a report released Thursday [alleging that] the current president and his administration not only possesses the means, but perhaps also the intent, to circumvent constitutional limits and disregard the will of the voters should they demand a new president.”

That, of course, is totally absurd. And it is another textbook example of the projection that is practiced by the far-right. It is, in fact, precisely what Trump has already tried to do, and threatens to do again with what we can now call “Projection 2025.”

For instance, Trump incited the violent January 6, 2021, insurrection that ransacked Congress and put a 140 police officers in the hospital. He has literally called for “terminating” the Constitution. He has showed utter contempt for the will of voters with his relentless and baseless assertions that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” and “stolen” from him. He also conspired to replace legitimate electors with his own fake alternatives. And he and his surrogates have collaborated with Russian operatives to spread disinformation.

The allegations by the Heritage hacks have no basis in reality. It is Biden, who unlike Trump, has promised to accept the election results. It is Biden who respects the limitations on government and the presidency. That was made more evident following the Supreme Court’s finding that a president can be immune from criminal prosecution for crimes that he or she actually commits. Trump, on the other hand, embraced that ruling and falsely claimed that it “exonerated” him…

MORE HERE: Total Insanity: Trump Says the Supreme Court’s Immunity Decision is a ‘Total Exoneration’

The Heritage Foundation went on to make preposterous charges about what it called “Biden’s ‘weaponization of government’ and ‘record of violating norms and constitutional limitations on executive power.'” Once again, that is pure projection, and a better description of Trump’s behavior, than anything remotely associated with Biden.

In fact, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, leveled an overt threat saying that “we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” In other words, he is saying that the left had better acquiesce to his demands or there will be bloodshed.

All of these ludicrous and dangerous charges by the Heritage Foundation are plainly efforts to deflect the legitimate observations made by Democrats and other patriots about the Foundation’s own reprehensible activities. It’s the old “I’m rubber, you’re glue” defense strategy that they learned in kindergarten. Unfortunately for them, it isn’t going to work for one simple reason: The rest of the electorate has grown up and recognizes their immature and deceitful tactics.

Nearly 70% are More Worried About a President Who is a Liar than One Who is Old – Trump is Both

Posted by on July 12, 2024 at 2:28 pm. 0 Comments :

A new NPR/Marist National Poll was released two weeks after the Biden/Trump debate that has triggered so much pundit anxiety and politico consternation. The headline finding was that, despite what was widely panned in the press as disastrous for President Biden, he is now leading Donald Trump 50-48 percent.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump

That’s a remarkably favorable result under the circumstances. And it is an embarrassing repudiation to the doomsayers who have written off the President’s chances of prevailing in November. Many of those pessimists have been Democrats and media that have generally been more balanced and focused on real world analysis.

SEE THIS: WTF? According to the New York Times ‘Biden Should Leave the Race’ AND ‘Trump is Unfit to Lead’

However, the topline numbers in the poll were not the only good news for Biden and portent of peril for Trump. Notably, the survey found that…

“Americans are overwhelmingly more concerned about a president who plays fast and loose with the facts than someone who is too old to serve. Nearly seven in ten Americans (68%) think it is more concerning if a president does not tell the truth. Nearly one in three (32%) think it is more concerning if someone is too old to serve.”

This finding weighs heavily on Trump, the candidate who is known as both a pathological liar, and an elderly sufferer of severe cognitive disability. As for Biden, well, he’s just old. But Trump’s derangement manifests in utterly bizarre tirades that are completely detached from reality. Such as his oratories on the threats of sharks and batteries, windmill cancer, nuking hurricanes, George Washington’s Army taking over airports, and injecting bleach to cure COVID. And then are these comparatively minor, albeit frequent, verbal gaffes…

The poll also found that 64% of respondents “do not think Biden has the mental fitness to serve as president.” Which is not particularly good, but not unexpected considering the constant media harping on the issue. Conversely, the poll also found that 49% have the same concerns about Trump’s mental unfitness. And that’s without the same amount of media bias influencing those opinions. It’s just Trump craziness shining through.

What’s more, the poll showed that a majority (52%) of Americans believe that “Biden has the character to serve as president.” By contrast, an even bigger “majority of Americans (56%), including 18% of Republicans and 58% of independents, do not think Trump has the character to be President of the United States.”

These numbers paint a picture of a race that Biden should be leading by wide margins. Unfortunately, in today’s media environment, other factors come into play that warp the both the polling and the potential electoral outcome. Which means that Democrats cannot become complacent in the weeks and months ahead. They must remain motivated and energized in order to fend off the threat that Trump and his MAGA cult pose to democracy.

It also means that they must be flexible and able to quickly pivot if circumstances change. Although Biden is adamant that he will be the nominee to the end – and he surely has the ability to win – the odds of his stepping aside are greater than zero. Were that to happen, the same poll shows that every candidate tested (Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom) did at least as well against Trump as Biden did.

So it’s safe to harbor some optimism as we face an unprecedented future this election year. And we must never let the nation forget the real choice before it…

President Biden: an honest, intelligent, and compassionate leader who reveres the Constitution.

Or Donald Trump: with 34 felony convictions, judgments against him for financial fraud, defamation and rape, and pending indictments that include inciting a violent coup and stealing classified documents, and conspiring to overturn an election, who seeks to impose an autocratic dictatorship.

That shouldn’t be a difficult choice.

WTF? According to the New York Times ‘Biden Should Leave the Race’ AND ‘Trump is Unfit to Lead’

Posted by on July 11, 2024 at 12:46 pm. 1 Comments :

One thing that is disturbingly clear at this critical time in America’s story is that the media is not serving the interests of the American people. In the midst of a presidential election that could determine whether the future of the nation will see its democracy preserved, or descends into a populist autocracy, the press is fixated on the horserace to the detriment of the human race.

Donald Trump calls for a "Unified Reich"

As the election cycle unfolds, the arguments for and against the candidates seems to be an afterthought to the press. Their obsession with President Biden’s age has consumed the attention span of the reporters covering the campaign. Meanwhile, they are downplaying the existential threat that Donald Trump poses to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and even to national security.

As an example of the ideological instability that is infecting the media, the New York Times just published an article by their Editorial Board that declares that “Donald Trump is unfit to lead.” The problem is that this article follows by a mere two weeks one by the same Board that asserted that “To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race.” So which is it? Or does the Times think that both candidates should drop out? And if one or the other doesn’t, then what?

What follows are a couple excerpts from each article…

June 28, To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race:
“President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American democracy.

Donald Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust. He systematically attempted to undermine the integrity of elections. His supporters have described, publicly, a 2025 agenda that would give him the power to carry out the most extreme of his promises and threats. If he is returned to office, he has vowed to be a different kind of president, unrestrained by the checks on power built into the American political system.” […]

“Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the wounds ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election.” […]

“If the race comes down to a choice between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, the sitting president would be this board’s unequivocal pick. That is how much of a danger Mr. Trump poses.”

July 11, Donald Trump is unfit to lead
“Next week, for the third time in eight years, Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for president of the United States. A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.” […]

“Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.”

A fair reading of these articles would lead the reader to the conclusion that the Board regards Trump as a threat to democracy and the welfare of the nation and the world. But why did the Times choose to publish both articles, giving equal weight to the argument that Biden, while preferable, is just as unfit to occupy the office of the president? It’s a serious disservice to the readers and the nation to provide justifications to withhold support from Biden, who the Times believes would save democracy.

The Times could have published just the article criticizing Trump and included their reservations about Biden in a couple of paragraphs near the end. That would have been a better representation of their opinions, without giving ammunition to Trump supporters. After all, the Times is essentially saying that Biden’s faults are mainly political viability, while Trump’s would lead to actual catastrophe.

Furthermore, the Times could have gone into more detail about why Trump is unacceptable as a candidate. They didn’t mention Trump’s 34 felony convictions related to covering up hush money payments to a porn star; his civil liability for defamation and rape; his $354 million judgment for financial fraud; his theft of hundreds of classified documents about which he lied to the FBI; or his inciting a violent insurrection.

These are not times to be timid or to cling to false notions of balance. It’s okay to speculate about whether Biden presents the best opportunity to defeat Trump. It is not okay to place Biden’s comparatively minor deficiencies on the same level as Trump’s sociopathy that ranges from incompetent to traitorous. And the Times knows better. Or at least they used to.

U.S. Intelligence Warns that Russia is Actively Undermining Biden to Boost Putin’s Puppet Trump

Posted by on July 10, 2024 at 2:04 pm. 7 Comments :

The frantic frenzy in the media for the past couple weeks over whether President Biden should continue his candidacy for the White House has taken on biblical proportions. It’s as if he had eaten an apple from the Tree of Knowledge and is now facing efforts to cast him out of Eden. When will they ask about Donald Trump eating the Big Mac of Madness and his eviction from Realityland?

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

The non-stop inquisition of Biden, and any stray Democrat that the press encounters, has become a compulsive disorder that the press can’t seem to exercise any self-control over. Meanwhile, there is nothing remotely equivalent being done to Trump, who is suffering from mental maladies that threaten far worse consequences for the nation and the world should he reoccupy the White House.

SEE THIS: Trump Denies Knowing Anything About the ‘Abysmal’ Project 2025 that He Definitely Knows About

Compounding the risks posed by a Trump reprise is a new report that U.S. Intelligence agencies have identified Russian operations aimed at influencing American elections and, specifically, backing Trump’s bid to assume the throne to which he believes he is entitled. As reported by NBC News…

“Russia’s efforts to influence this year’s U.S. election through information warfare have the same aim as in previous elections — to undermine President Joe Biden’s campaign and the Democratic Party and weaken public confidence in the electoral process, intelligence officials said Tuesday.

“Russia’s election influence operations, which include covert social media accounts and encrypted direct messaging channels, are targeting key voter groups in swing states to exploit political divisions in the U.S. and erode support for Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion, officials with the Office of the Director National Intelligence, or ODNI, told reporters.” […]

“Former U.S. intelligence officials and regional analysts say the Kremlin has long viewed Trump as more sympathetic to Russia, citing his frequently expressed skepticism toward the NATO alliance, his reluctance to criticize Putin and his critical portrayal of Ukraine’s government.”

Sound familiar? It’s precisely what Russia tried to do in 2020, and did successfully in 2016. It’s what Trump has referred to in his psychotic rants as the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.” However, it was never a hoax, and Trump knows it. He has even explicitly sought Russia’s help to hack Hillary Clinton’s email, and to spread disinformation throughout the country.

Trump’s affinity for Putin is well documented. He calls him a friend and a “genius” and has excused his crimes against humanity, saying that the United States does the same things. Trump will never criticize Putin for anything. But he constantly maligns America in the most abhorrent terms (e.g. corrupt, crime-ridden, weak, failing, etc.).

An example of that occurred Wednesday morning during an interview with Fox News wherein Trump was asked a question about Putin’s missiles targeting a children’s hospital in Ukraine. Trump replied by ignoring Putin’s atrocity and, instead, attacking Biden. Because America is always wrong and Putin is always right, in Trump’s twisted mind.

So it’s extraordinarily disturbing that the media is so fixated on whether Biden should remain in the race. Yet they never ask that question of Trump. If the debate were rationally formed it would be a contest between the elderly statesman Biden, or the elderly, convicted felon, Putin loving, wannabe dictator Trump. Under those conditions, which one ought to be driven from the race? It’s not a difficult choice.
