Crybaby Trump’s Hysterical Posting that He’s Suing the New York Times for Hurting His Feelings

Posted by on September 16, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 0 Comments :

There has never been an American president whose skin was as thin as whiny baby Donald Trump. He rarely takes a rest from complaining about how horribly offended he is over even the most mild criticism or disagreement. And he lashes out petulantly at whoever dared to utter that insult.

Donald Trump, Wah

On Tuesday morning Trump provided yet another demonstration of his emotional tenderness with his announcement that he is suing the New York Times for … well, who knows what? He’s calling it defamation, but his filing doesn’t contain a single example of anything defamatory published by the Times. It’s just a hodgepodge of gripes about legitimate expressions of opinion that are based on his verifiable conduct. And there is nothing he hates more than accurate reporting about what he does and says.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

In the tediously long posting to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump wrote in part that…

“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party.”

Trump’s bizarre “Great Honor” to sue the Times is notable for committing the same sort of defamation that he is accusing the Times of. If required to prove his allegation that the Times is “degenerate” or “a virtual ‘mouthpiece'” for Democrats, he would come up pitifully short. And even if it were true, it’s perfectly legal under the Constitution’s First Amendment. But Trump was just getting started. He also wrote that…

“Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!”

Once again, if true it would be the prerogative of the Times to endorse anyone they want, in any manner they choose. But for the record, Trump is lying. The Times endorsement of Harris was only in the Opinion section, not the front page. And there was nothing “UNHEARD OF” about it. And then he continued…

“…our successful litigation against George Slopadopoulos/ABC/Disney, and 60 Minutes/CBS/Paramount”

Setting aside Trump’s infantile nickname for George Stephanopoulos, he is lying yet again. He did not have a “successful litigation” against Disney or Paramount. Neither case ever went to trial. They both settled due to their cowardly fear of Trump interfering with their businesses, which he threatened to do. And they both had pending transactions that relied on approvals from the federal government. So they settled in order to appease Trump. Even so, the amounts were mere fractions of what Trump sued them for. And finally, Trump revealed that…

“The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida.”

This is an obvious effort to judge-shop in the more friendly Florida pool of conservative judges, rather than the actual location of the suit’s target in New York.

Since Trump’s lawsuit fails to identify any false or defamatory statements by the Times, what is Trump really whining about? Well, last week he threatened bring a suit over a Times story about the now infamous “birthday card” to Jeffrey Epstein that included a note from Trump. He is already suing the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion for the same thing. Trump has denied that the card existed, even after it was released by the Epstein estate. So this is more performative bullpucky, and intimidation. For it’s part, the Times responded saying that…

The New York Times responded to Trump’s lawsuit saying that “This lawsuit has no merit. It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting. The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics. We will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists’ First Amendment right to ask questions on behalf of the American people.”

We’ll see. Many others have capitulated. Although the record shows that, more often than not, when a party to a Trump lawsuit chose to fight back, they won. Because in the end, Trump is just a phony who puts on a facade of toughness that he has never lived up to. In fact, he has provided a better description of himself when he bragged that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really…

UPDATE: Trump’s lawsuit against the New York Times was thrown out of court only two days after it was filed. The ruled that “it “unmistakably and inexcusably”that the courts are violated the rules that govern civil lawsuits, and “not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.”

Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

Posted by on September 12, 2025 at 2:06 pm. 0 Comments :

While the nation continues to process the shock and grief caused by the murder of far right activist Charlie Kirk, vile and thoughtless MAGA partisans are feverishly endeavoring to politicize the crime, blaming Democrats and liberals for allegedly violent rhetoric that they say motivated the shooter. Never mind that no motive has as yet been determined.

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

Donald Trump Rally, Sieg Heil

Among the most rabid disseminators of the wholly speculative theories about what drove this assassin is the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. In the few hours after the shooting, when little was known, Trump posted a video of himself asserting as fact that the killing was the work of “the radical left” and their rhetoric that he says demonized conservatives. Although it is Trump who is the among the worst purveyors of demonizing rhetoric. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Delivers a Despicable Diatribe Demonizing Democrats Following the Shooting of Charlie Kirk

For some reason, Trump totally neglected to mention all of the far more numerous examples of political violence committed by the far right. That truth was revealed in a study conducted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research, development, and evaluation agency of the United States Department of Justice. Their study found that…

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

Until today, that study was available (here) for all to read on the NIJ website. But now, just as people might want to confirm the state of violent extremist rhetoric in America, the study has been removed. Fortunately, it has been preserved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. The missing NIJ page has been replaced by a message saying…

Notice: “The Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance. During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

[UPDATE: This notice has also been removed now}

How convenient! At a time when there will be a great deal of interest in the facts surrounding violent political rhetoric, a study concluded last year has been disappeared. Which only makes it easier for liars like Trump to go on Fox News and gaslight America with grotesque distortions of reality that are aimed at bolstering his dishonest and dangerous narratives maligning Democrats.

Which is just what Trump did Friday morning. Joining his morning Ministers of Propaganda on Fox and Friends, Trump engaged in the following exchange with co-host Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s fiancé)…

Earhardt: We have radicals on the right as well. We have radicals on the left. People are watching all of these videos and cheering, some people are cheering that Charlie was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?
Trump: I’ll tell you something that’s gonna get me in trouble but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. They don’t want to see crime. Worried about the border. They’re saying, ‘We don’t want these people coming in. We don’t want you burning our shopping centers. We don’t want you shooting our people in the middle of the street.’

The radicals on the left are the problem. And they are vicious. And they are horrible. And they are politically savvy. Although they want men in women’s sports. They want transgender for everyone. They want open borders.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-12T12:34:09.469Z

Note that this was Trump’s response to Earhardt asking “How do we come back together?” So apparently he thinks that calling people “vicious” and “horrible,” and lying about their opinions is the path to unity and togetherness.

Even worse is Trump’s embrace of far right radicals whose acts of violence he sees as beneficial deterrents to crime. There are scores of examples of this, but here are just a few:

  • The man who killed 23 Walmart shoppers in El Paso was just trying to reduce illegal immigration.
  • The nine murders of Black parishioners in the Charleston, South Carolina, church were only intended to promote faithful living.
  • The attacks on Democratic politicians (Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Nancy and Paul Pelosi, Minnesota state representatives Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses), were all efforts to achieve ideological balance.
  • The hundreds of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol (and who Trump pardoned), killing five police officers, were just trying to prevent Joe Biden from destroying the country. After all, in Trump’s mind Democrats are worse than Al Qaeda.

NO, REALLY! Trump’s Propaganda Minister Maligns the Democratic Party as a ‘Domestic Extremist Organization’

See? Trump radicals, good. Democrat radicals, bad. This is the sort of language that gives Trump’s MAGA minions permission to commit crimes against liberals. And it is intentional on Trump’s part. It’s one of the rare occasions when he knows exactly what he’s doing. And he gets no pushback whatsoever from his fellow Republicans or his pals on Fox News. They are all of one mind. And what if it incites further violence? Well, Trump already told you, when he said that “I couldn’t care less.”

UPDATE: Don Jr joins in to claim that political violence is only “one way” from the Democratic Party. And he advocates censorship telling Fox News that “anyone who is saying otherwise should be thrown off the air.”

Trump Throws Tantrum Over Judge Because She Was in the Same Sorority as Fed Governor Lisa Cook

Posted by on September 1, 2025 at 1:39 pm. 3 Comments :

The record for federal court cases involving Donald Trump reveals that he may be the biggest loser in litigation history. The Trump administration has frequently lost in federal courts when its policies are legally challenged. The cases range across a broad spectrum of issues, including immigration, tariffs, executive authority, and more.

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

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

Just last May alone, Trump lost a massive 96% of rulings in federal district courts. And that isn’t counting the civil judgements against him for sexual abuse and financial fraud. Sometimes, even when he wins, he loses.

SEE THIS: TRUMP WINS? ABC News Settles His Lawsuit Confirming that He Was Found Liable for Sexual Abuse

On Sunday Trump was performing what he seems to think is his most critical job as president: posting streams of ludicrous comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Among them were a couple expressing his outrage over a challenge to his divine authority to fire anyone he wants, even if it’s illegal for him to do so.

The specific matter in this case is his attempt to fire Federal Reserve Board Member, Lisa Cook. The law does not permit him to fire Fed board members without cause, and he has none in this case, other than a wholly unproven allegation. After Cook filed her challenge, Trump fell off the deep end of sanity raging that…

“This is a total Conflict of Interest. The Judge must RECUSE, IMMEDIATELY!!! President DJT”

What Trump was obliquely referring to was Judge Jia Cobb, who was assigned to the case in the Washington, D.C. District Court. And the conflict of interest that he is alleging is that Judge Cobb is a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority that published their support for Fed Board Gov. Cook, who is also Delta Sigma Theta sister. The sorority’s President, Cheryl W. Turner, released a statement in support of Cook saying in part that…

“Dr. Lisa D. Cook was vetted, confirmed, and is uniquely qualified to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Undermining her role is not just about one individual — it is a threat to the independence of the Federal Reserve and carries grave economic implications for families and communities.”

On the basis of his wafer thin whining, Trump believes that Judge Cobb is conflicted and cannot preside over the case. Which is pure nonsense. More than 350,000 women have been members of Delta Sigma Theta since its founding in 1913. Cook and Cobb attended different colleges (UC Berkeley and Harvard respectively), grew up in different states (Georgia and Ohio), fourteen years apart. And sorority’s are not political parties where everyone has the same ideology.

Trump’s proposed recusal rules would create judicial calendar chaos if every judge had to step aside just because they belonged to the same college social club as a litigant. What if they shared membership in Costco, or the Auto Club? Would Trump make the same demands for recusal of the grossly biased, pro-Trump judge, Aileen Cannon of Florida, because she was a member of the same sorority (Delta Delta Delta) as Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi? Isn’t that also “a total Conflict of Interest” for which the Judge should have “RECUSED, IMMEDIATELY!!!”?

Trump also posted a second comment on this subject. He complained that Judge Cobb is the same judge assigned to a case involving Trump’s unlawful fast-track deportations that were found to have violated the 5th Amendment due process rights of migrants apprehended by Trump’s ICE thugs. He implied something untoward saying “Same Judge as on Fed Case. I wonder how that happened??? Must recuse!!!” But judges in the D.C. District Court are assigned randomly. Trump’s recusal demand here is no more valid than in his prior comment.

The bottom line is that Trump is notorious for whining about matters that he can’t control. And he manufactures grievances that exist only in his twisted mind. Which is precisely why his record in legal disputes is abysmal. His arguments are based on his psychotic delusions, rather than facts or the law.

Unfortunately, the only place he’s had any success is with the Supreme Court that he has managed to stacked in his favor. But the winning streak he has had there is unlikely to continue indefinitely. Eventually he will be held accountable under the legal precedent of FAFO!

Trump Threatens to Prosecute George Soros and Others for Supporting Protests Against Dear Leader

Posted by on August 27, 2025 at 12:42 pm. 2 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump continue to reveal themselves in the comments that he posts on his failing Twitter tipoff, Truth Social. Perhaps having his own platform for disseminating propaganda liberates him to freely express the most vile thoughts, filled with animus and vengeance.

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

George Soros, Donald Trump

In the past few weeks Trump has openly advocated for the harassment of his political foes by his personal legal team, previously known as the Department of Justice. He is abusing his power by directing his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate and indict everyone from Sen. Adam Schiff, to New York Attorney General Letitia James, to everyone who served honorably on the House Committee to Investigate January 6th.

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

Now Trump is making a public threat to billionaire philanthropist and progressive donor, George Soros. The offense that Trump is charging Soros with is his having the temerity to criticize Dear Leader and to help American citizens who share those criticisms to exercise their constitutional rights to peaceably assembly to redress their grievances. Trump raged that…

“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

First of all, Soros is hardly a radical leftist. He is a devout advocate of democracy who fled Nazi-occupied Hungary as a child, made his way to London and then New York,, became an American citizen, and built a fortune in the capitalist equity markets. He was even honored as “Person of the Year” by the Financial times. That’s who Trump, a faker who inherited his wealth and lost much of it in a variety of scams, thinks is a lunatic who shouldn’t be allowed express himself or engage in political activities.

The Rabid Right has long regarded Soros as something akin to the Anti-Christ. They lob bitter, anti-Semitic insults at him. They accuse every progressive in America of being on the Soros payroll. I’m still waiting for my paycheck. If Soros had paid every protester that the right has accused him of funding, he would have depleted his fortune decades ago. And none of the funds that he has donated to groups that organize legal protests has supported or resulted in violence. That’s just another Trump lie.

However, don’t be mistaken that Trump is only interested in beating down Soros. He is laying the groundwork to oppress anyone who opposes his flagrantly tyrannical ambitions. He wants to use RICO laws (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) to silence any and all dissent from his fascist MAGA cult movement. He says so explicitly with reference to Soros’ “group of psychopaths” and “West Coast friends” to whom Trump issues a chilling warning to “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

Well, let’s put Trump on notice. We are watching him too. And we’re watching his minions who aid and abet his anti-American objectives. A day of reckoning will come. America will not fall to his dystopian dreams of totalitarianism. And folks like Soros, and Schiff, and California Governor Gavin Newsom (who Trump said should be arrested), will be memorialized as heroes and patriots. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

UPDATE: George Soros’ Open Society Foundation responds…

The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous.

Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

Posted by on August 17, 2025 at 2:13 pm. 0 Comments :

The dissembling of the U.S. Department of Justice under Donald Trump is proceeding apace as his disgraced and unqualified appointees conspire to abuse their power in order to take out Trump’s perceived enemies and shield him from any and all negative consequences of his own blatant criminality.

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

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

To be sure, much of their primary focus of late is concentrated on deflecting from their refusal to release the files that they control related to child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. They already tasked 1,000 FBI agents to search for and redact Trump’s name from those files. But apparently, that still isn’t enough to satisfy Trump that his unsavory relationship with the pair of perverts is sufficiently hidden.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

In a chilling escalation of the DoJ’s descent into Trump’s personal prosecutorial staff, Trump’s director of the DoJ’s aptly/ironically named “Weaponization Working Group,” Ed Martin, was dispatched to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to disseminate more of their flagrantly dishonest assaults on anyone who Trump has deemed disloyal. Martin – who was too much of a MAGA extremist to be confirmed as U.S. Attorney – was interviewed by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, and he delivered the following forthright threats aimed at the opponents of Dear Leader…

“We’re gonna go to the bottom of the facts, and if somebody did something wrong, we’re not only gonna hold them accountable, we’re also gonna look at everything else that they’ve been doing.

“Because when you’re a liar, you lie not just on one thing. When you’re a cheater, you cheat not just on one thing. When you’re doing corruption, you generally don’t just do it on one thing. So that’s what we’re asked to do as prosecutors. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Ed Martin: "Letitia James & Adam Schiff — both their lawyers have come out and talked publicly about the criminal referrals…we're gonna follow the facts…and if somebody did something wrong, we're not only gonna hold them accountable, we're also gonna look at everything else they've been doing"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:20:26.462Z

Martin is promising to expand the already meritless allegations against people like Letitia James and Adam Schiff, into investigations of “everything else” that he can twist into bogus accusations. In other words, witch hunts. Although his justification citing the tendencies of liars, and cheaters, and those who are corrupt, really fits Trump much better than any of those who Martin is targeting. But he was just getting started. The discussion continued with the following exchange…

Bartiromo: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?
Martin: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox, because there’s a lot to be asked about.
Bartiromo: And the pardons that were given out were done by an autopen. Are they legitimate?
Martin: I’m a pardon attorney, so I’m in that too. I can tell you we’re investigating how the pardons were granted. It was not like anything in the history of America. What Joe Biden – not Joe Biden – what his staffers did not just with the autopen, but with faking him out on the memos. More to come, Maria. I’m telling you, Pam Bondi has let us loose, and when this comes out it will take the whole of these people’s hoaxes down. And we’re doing it bit by bit, and it’s fantastic.”

BARTIROMO: What about the January 6 committee? Did they destroy evidence? Is there criminality there?ED MARTIN: Of course. Trust me, a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee, and they ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-17T15:25:46.591Z

First of all, there was no evidence destroyed by the January 6th Committee, and thus no criminality. And Martin’s reference to those who did not receive pardons as being vulnerable to prosecution is the sort of intimidation tactic employed by dictators like Vladimir Putin, who Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate.

Bartiromo then brings up the preposterous question of the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons. Of course, Martin embraces that nonsense and builds on it with his own allegations about some mysterious memos. Then he is downright giddy with glee over being “let loose” by Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and how “fantastic” it will be to take down these alleged hoaxes.

President Biden’s wisdom in issuing pardons for the January 6th Committee members is proven to be warranted by the partisan and abusive actions that Martin is taking now. And it is notable that neither Martin nor Bartiromo bother to mention the pardons issued by Trump for more than 1,500 violent insurrections, including those who assaulted police officers, that were also signed by an autopen.

The hypocrisy exhibited by these agents of authoritarianism is waist deep, at least. And their zeal to act on it by persecuting patriots who sought to preserve American democracy is despicable. Unfortunately, it is also expected of the goon squads that work for Trump. and the sooner we 8647, the better. [FYI: for all you soggy-brained numbskulls, 86 means to throw out]

Attorney General Pam Bondi Charges Judge Who Dared to Rule Against Trump with Misconduct

Posted by on July 29, 2025 at 2:58 pm. 0 Comments :

There has never been an American president who is so averse to the principles and values of the United States and its Constitution than the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump. He is almost always embroiled in some sort of legal warfare with government agencies, civil liberties advocates, the free press, or other institutions that protect the rights of the American people.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

In the first six months of Trump’s second term he has bullied law firms into paying millions to avoid the retribution of his government thuggery; he has pushed legislation to defund public service organizations such as Planned Parenthood, USAID, and PBS/NPR; and he has threatened media enterprises into submission in order to advance their corporate ambitions.

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Also on Trump’s radar has been the American judiciary. He has actually gone to the extremes of having judges that he disapproves of arrested. And now he has directed his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to go after a federal judge because he has not bent to the will of Dear Leader or ruled blindly and obediently in his favor. As reported by Democracy Docket…

“Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a misconduct complaint against a federal judge overseeing high-profile lawsuits against the Trump administration, escalating President Donald Trump’s ongoing assault on the judiciary.

“The DOJ issued the complaint over comments that James Boasberg, the chief district judge in Washington, D.C., made during a judicial conference with Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal judges earlier this year.”

The alleged misconduct in the filing asserted that Boasberg improperly tried to influence Roberts. However, the conversations they had were entirely appropriate and in the furtherance of justice. But none of that matters to Bondi or Trump. The only thing that they are interested in is punishing those who fail to kiss Trump’s – let’s say ring – and submit to his authority. And also to get honest, independent judges removed from any of Trump cases, and even potentially impeached.

This action against Judge Boasberg is not meant only to punish him, but also to warn any other judges, who might be considering being impartial and law-abiding, that doing so will put them at risk as well. Although that would keep the Trump regime awfully busy. Trump’s disregard for the law has already resulted in an unprecedented statistic for a presidential litigant…

“The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford.

“Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judges.”

It is also notable that the outrage of Trump and Bondi against the judiciary is distinctly partisan. They couldn’t care less about the prejudices of judges who are loyal to Dear Leader, including those on the Supreme Court. As observed in a detailed editorial in The Bulwark by Philip Lacovara (former deputy solicitor general of the United States, counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor, and president of the D.C. Bar)…

“In regularly voting in favor of President Trump—often in extraordinary interventions that short-circuit traditional judicial processes—those six [Supreme Court] justices are racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import.”

[And that] “Donald Trump and his administration will have to face the verdict of history. And so will his six enablers on the Supreme Court who have been complicit in eroding the constitutional ideal of constrained executive power and creating a virtually omnipotent presidency.”

Hopefully Bondi’s misconduct charges against Judge Boasberg will fall into the dustbin of history where they belong. But the efforts of Trump and his comrades must be struck down today and remembered forever as assaults on democracy and freedom. America cannot be allowed to devolve into the totalitarian dictatorship to which Trump aspires.

Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Posted by on July 2, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 3 Comments :

In yet another capitulation by Big Media to the ravenous whims of aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump, Paramount Global has succumbed to the insidious intimidation of a tyrannical threat intended to quash the freedom of the press guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment. It’s just the latest assault on the media that Trump frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

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

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

On Wednesday morning it was announced that Paramount had agreed to a settlement of the lawsuit that Trump had brought against CBS News, alleging that the network had defamed him by editing part of an interview with Kamala Harris. Never mind that the the editing (which was nominated for an Emmy) was proper and routine and done only for time and clarity. To Trump it was an assault on his tender sensitivities…

SEE THIS: Snowflake Trump Whines He Suffered ‘Mental Anguish’ From the 60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris

The settlement was nothing more than Paramount bowing to the extortion of a mob boss president who was only interested in exacting revenge on a news organization that had the audacity to present a fair and balanced interview of a political opponent and to report the truth about him. As reported by CNN…

“CBS News parent Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to resolve a legally dubious lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over a ’60 Minutes’ news report last fall.” […]

“Legal experts maintained that Trump’s suit was frivolous and that CBS was on solid ground to fight and win the case in court. But corporate priorities trumped journalistic principles. Paramount has been trying for months to complete a lucrative merger with Skydance Media, and the deal requires approval from the Trump administration, in part because CBS owns local stations that are licensed by the government. This gave Trump a form of leverage over Paramount.” […]

In short, Paramount paid a bribe to Trump in order to get him to allow their multibillion merger with Skydance Media (owned by Trump associates Larry and David Ellison) to proceed with approval from Trump’s FCC. The fate of the merger was of – shall we say paramount – concern to the chairwoman of the corporation, Shari Redstone, who stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars when the merger is completed.

The settlement that Paramount agreed to was for $16 million that would cover Trump’s legal expenses, with the remainder going to his eventual presidential library. But far worse than that, it establishes a precedent for bullying news enterprises in order to shape their reporting or to make them pay for being honest and independent. And despite the fact that there was no apology or other statement of wrongdoing or regret, Trump still claimed that he scored a total victory. His legal team said that…

“[The settlement] holds the Fake News media accountable for their wrongdoing and deceit. CBS and Paramount Global realized the strength of this historic case and had no choice but to settle.”

None of that statement is remotely related to reality. It’s hard to sue for $20 billion in damages – which was the original amount sought by Trump – and settle for 0.08% of that, and spin it as a strong case that Paramount “had no choice but to settle.” Particularly when Trump couldn’t even get any kind of an apology, and the funds would not be going directly to him, but to his library, if there ever is one.

Nevertheless, the damage done to the reputation of CBS News is significant and enduring. It was a decision by their corporate parent to sacrifice the network’s credibility in order to enrich their owners. And their weakness makes it harder for other news organizations to stand up to the kind of criminal protection racket tactics that Trump is so notorious for engaging in. Hopefully any other media outfit facing this in the future will have more courage than than the cowards at Paramount.

SRSLY? Trump is Still Obsessed with His 2020 Election Loss and is Demanding a Special Prosecutor

Posted by on June 20, 2025 at 12:17 pm. 2 Comments :

It has been nearly five years since Joe Biden committed the unspeakably humiliating act against Donald Trump by decisively beating him in the election of 2020. What was he thinking? That tragic episode in Trump’s life has had an enduring impact on his mental health and his ability to cope with reality.

Donald Trump

A lot has happened since then. Most notably, there were four years of relief from the daily tumult and chaos that characterized Trump’s incoherent style of governing. Much of the damage he caused was effectively undone, and the people’s business was attended to in a manner that advanced their interests and welfare.

However, that relief would be short lived as, somehow, Trump managed to get himself reelected in 2024 to resume his deconstruction of American democracy. Which isn’t going very well for him…

Something that has not changed is that the deranged anxieties that consume Trump continue to roil his fragile emotional state. Despite the fact that there are numerous domestic and international crises in progress – Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, recession, civil unrest, and more – Trump is busy massaging his acute narcissism and struggling to pacify his bruised ego over the 2020 defeat that he clings to obsessively.

On Friday morning he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exposed just how desperately he is controlled by his compulsion to not be perceived as the loser he is. He lashed out at…

Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a ‘LANDSLIDE!’ Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

It hardly needs to be reiterated that Trump obviously did not win “by a LANDSLIDE,” or at all, in 2020. Neither do we need to dwell on his rants about Biden’s competence, when he has a record of historic achievement. And if Trump had any “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of the “total fraud” he alleges, why hasn’t he produced any of it in court, or anywhere else?

Trump’s demand that a special prosecutor be assigned to this non-existent scandal is preposterous. Particularly when there is no legal or even rational basis for it. What’s more, it is unethical for a president to make such a demand directing his Justice Department to persecute a political foe. And it is also notable that Trump has previously argued that special counsels are unconstitutional. But that apparently only applies to those investigating him.

This is what an authoritarian ruler would do to clamp down on his opponents. Which is precisely the problem with Trump. He has long been envious of the kind of power wielded by his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And when he refers to the behavior of a “Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES” as being “grossly indescribable,” it is clear that he is employing projection and is actually referring to himself. With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

Herr Trump Calls for Gov. Gavin Newsom to Be Arrested and to Thank Him for Being ‘So Wonderful’

Posted by on June 9, 2025 at 12:05 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend Donald Trump took the extremist action of federalizing the California National Guard to suppress the overwhelmingly peaceful protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs who are inflaming violence and chaos.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom did not request the Guard, as required by law for Trump to deploy them. Which Trump himself acknowledged back in 2020. Both Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, adamantly insisted that they had the necessary law enforcement resources to handle the protests. Which was proven to be true, as the only thing that Trump’s actions did was to make things worse. But then, what more would you expect from Trump, whose decision making is severely impaired.

On Monday morning Trump spoke with reporters outside of the white House when he was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about a comment Newsom made regarding Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, threatening to arrest him. Which led to this exchange…

Doocy: Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it?
Trump: I would do it if I were Tom. I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing. He’s done a terrible job. I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows.”

"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great" — Trump endorses the arrest of Gov. Gavin Newsom

And there you have it. Trump is explicitly calling for the arrest of Newsom. Never mind that he has no plausible charges of wrongdoing. It’s just his penchant for authoritarianism that has manifested itself previously with the persecution of judges, mayors, and members of Congress, who he has had arrested.

UPDATE: Later on Monday Trump was asked what crime Newsom committed that would warrant his arrest. Trump replied “He ran for governor.” so running for governor is apparently now illegal in Trump’s America.

It hardly matters that Trump says that he likes Newsom, while calling him “grossly incompetent” and seeking his arrest. Trump is agreeing with Homan about the abhorrent and unwarranted prosecution of the governor of America’s most populous state. But Newsom is not afraid of Trump. He literally dared Trump to follow through on his threat. Will TACO Trump chicken out again?

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn … Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

What’s more, Trump posted a deranged comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, congratulating himself on his tyrannical behavior and pathetically begging for Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass to thank him, saying that…

“We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent ‘Governor,’ Gavin Newscum, and ‘Mayor,’ Karen Bass, should be saying, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'”

This is another example of Trump’s preposterous hyperbole. Does he really think that Los Angeles, with a population of nearly ten million in the greater metropolitan area, “would have been completely obliterated” had it not been for his gross overreaction to the protests? And what psychological dysfunction causes him to continually demand that people thank him, when he is so undeserving of anything but contempt and shame? He expects everyone to suck up to him like the feckless fluffers in his Cabinet.

It is clear, however, why Trump is so hostile toward Newsom (to whom he has attached the infantile nickname, Newscum). Trump is jealous and threatened and seething with rage after Newsom so articulately castrates him with commentaries like the the following…

Snowflake Trump Whines He Suffered ‘Mental Anguish’ From the 60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris

Posted by on May 30, 2025 at 3:10 pm. 3 Comments :

The reputation that Donald Trump has tried so fervently to fabricate for himself has always been a feat of fiction. He wants the world to regard him as a tough guy and a macho man, despite never having displayed any of the characteristics that would make that version of himself plausible.

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

To the contrary, Trump is a five-time draft dodger who insults real military heroes as “suckers and losers.” He runs away from any challenging questions from scary journalists, who he maligns as “fake news” instead of providing an actual answer. And more recently he has been tagged with the label of being a T.A.C.O. – Trump Always Chickens Out – as a result of his failing to stand behind the phony facade he has presented on his tariff agenda.

So no one should be surprised that Trump is now making a claim that utterly destroys his pitiful aspiration to be admired as a strongman. In his lawsuit against CBS News his lawyers are asserting that he has suffered “mental anguish” having watched their 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris. The Associated Press (who Trump has banned from presidential avails) is reporting that…

“President Donald Trump suffered ‘mental anguish’ from CBS News’ editing of a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris last fall, his lawyers are arguing in court papers. Trump’s status as a ‘content creator’ was also damaged by attention given to the interview, lawyers said.”

Poor baby. Imagine having to endure the words of your political opponent spoken in the sort of coherent, complete sentences that you’re incapable of. It must be unbearable. So naturally you have your lawyers plead to the court that you, and even your cult disciples, were irreparably harmed, saying that “this led to widespread confusion and mental anguish of consumers, including plaintiffs.”

Of course, the facts of the case strongly favor 60 Minutes. What Trump preposterously says was “illegal” editing that should result in CBS being taken off the air and losing their broadcast license, was nothing but the ordinary editing of news interviews for time and clarity. And the segment was so professionally done that it has been nominated for an Emmy for – get this – “Outstanding Editing.”

Unfortunately, Trump is using this lawsuit as a cudgel to coerce the CBS parent corporation, Paramount Global, to settle the case for millions of dollars. And there is the not-so-veiled threat that if they don’t settle, Trump’s FTC will refuse to greenlight the billion dollar merger that Paramount is pursuing with Skydance Media. Which is a blatantly illegal mob-style shakedown. And yet, Paramount is considering the settlement demand. Which is likely the reason that 60 Minutes producer, Bill Owens, and CBS News President Wendy McMahon have both resigned citing the corporate interference in their journalism.

In the meantime, let’s all keep Trump and his tender fee fees in our thoughts as he struggles to bear with the severe mental anguish of having media that refuses to worship him adoringly at all times. It must be a living hell for the Big Crybaby-in-Chief.
