Trump Admits Gross Failures Arming Protesters in Iran and to Slaughtering Defenseless Iranians

Posted by on April 6, 2026 at 12:39 pm. 2 Comments :

The United States is entering week six of what Donald Trump calls the “little excursion” into Iran, and for which he declared victory a few hours after it began. In the interim thirteen American soldiers were killed, and thousands of Iranian civilians, including children whose school was bombed.

Donald Trump

Now Trump is continuing to insist that he will press forward with even more aggressive assaults and is explicitly promising to commit war crimes in his psychopathic fixation to “obliterate” Iran. The lunacy of Trump’s obsession is impossible to ignore. And, of course, Trump seems to make matters worse every time he opens his mouth.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Discloses Clandestine Mission to Arm Iranian Protesters in Fox News Interview

After making some of the most grotesquely disturbing remarks since the war began (such as “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell”), Trump is escalating his diarhetorical bombast. In comments to the press during his deranged White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump was asked a rather obvious question that he has bungled in previous attempts to answer…

Reporter: You said Iran has been obliterated, why are we still at war then?
Trump: They can’t fight back. They have no capability. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left but essentially, they have no capability. They had a lucky shot with an airplane.

To be clear, Trump is confessing that his military mission in Iran is currently engaged in slaughtering defenseless civilians. If an enemy actually can’t fight back, it’s time to cease offensive tactics and transition to asserting a dominant role over the remnants of the enemy’s government. Instead, Trump is threatening even more harsh tactics including a genocidal threat that “The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night.” What is the purpose of such a threat against an enemy that has no capability to resist, other than sadistic gratification?

What’s more, Trump also told reporters at the Easter affair about a plan to arm Iranian dissidents that he admits ended in total failure.

“We sent to some guns. But the group that we were supposed to give – which I said would happen to my people. I said…I called it exactly – We sent guns. A lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them. Cause they said ‘What a beautiful gun. I think I’ll keep it.’ So I am very upset with a certain group of people and they will pay a big price.”

Trump on Iran: We sent to some guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. The people we sent them to kept them. I am upset with a certain group of people and they will pay a big price.

Here Trump is revealing that he presided over a plan that he opposed, and that he claims to have told his staff wouldn’t work. And he’s bragging that he was right about it. But he nevertheless approved it and that it did indeed fail. He must be so proud.

So now there are “a lot of guns” from America circulating around in Iran in the hands of people that were not intended to get them. Although he didn’t say, it is likely Kurdish dissidents. But it’s okay, because Trump is “very upset” with them. How that helps the Iranian people remains a mystery.

All of this is happening as Trump has given a 48 hour deadline (24 hours ago) for Iran to comply with his demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz, that Trump has variously claimed wasn’t necessary, would open up by itself, or would result in Iran “living in Hell” if they didn’t open it.

The flagrant contradictions in Trump’s yammering reflect the diseased mind of psychopath with no respect for international law, morality, or human life. And yet, his disciples in Congress, the MAGA media, and a tiny but loud faction of the public, continue to follow him. Because that’s the nature of a cult. And in this case, a death cult.

Pentagon Persists in Punishing Reporters After Court Ruling That It Violated the Constitution

Posted by on March 24, 2026 at 2:04 pm. 0 Comments :

The acutely impaired psyche of Donald Trump manifests daily in a multitude of ways. He has a massive yet fragile ego. He compulsively employs infantile insults aimed at his innumerable perceived enemies. He demands unwavering loyalty, but returns only betrayal. He displays classic signs of sociopathy and tyrannical aspirations.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

In addition to all of that, Trump has distinguished himself as America’s most media averse president. He hates the free press with a passion. Well, unless he is getting swaddled in adoring attention, which he craves like crack. And his hatred has revealed itself in his overt suppression of the media by his administration, including the Pentagon…

SEE THIS: Trump Kicks Reporters Out of Pentagon Offices, Replaces Them with MAGA Media Mouthpieces

Last year Trump had his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, throw reporters out of the Pentagon offices that they have used for decades. They decreed that “journalists must sign a pledge not to gather any information, including unclassified reports, that hasn’t been authorized for release.” Failure to obey would result in the revocation of their press credentials. That effectively transforms the Pentagon press corps into a group of doting White House stenographers. At first, even Trump opposed this blatant censorship, until someone explained to him what he really thought about it.

Most credible journalists refused to comply with the new edicts and were banished from the building. They were then replaced by glassy-eyed sycophants devoted to fluffing Trump and embracing everything he does and says as gospel. This week, however, a court ruled that the Pentagon’s new protocol violated the Constitution and it’s protection for a free press. As reported by the Guardian…

“‘Those who drafted the first amendment believed that the nation’s security requires a free press and an informed people and that such security is endangered by governmental suppression of political speech,’ US district court judge Paul Friedman wrote in his opinion. ‘That principle has preserved the nation’s security for almost 250 years. It must not be abandoned now.'”

True to form, the Trump administration has chosen to defy the court ruling and double down on their unconstitutional behavior. Rather than simply return their press credentials and restore their access, the Pentagon chose to shut down the reporters’ offices entirely, and designate an off-site facility to house them. That is a direct rejection of the court ruling, and representatives of the journalists have vowed to return to court to challenge this obvious end-run around the law.

The strident efforts on the part of Trump and his minions to muzzle the media make one thing perfectly clear. They are scared witless of real news being reported and voters finding out all of the nefarious schemes that they are engaging in. The Trump regime is acting exactly like the totalitarian tyrants (Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, etc.) that he idolizes and seeks to emulate.

By stomping his boot down on the press Trump is telling the American people that he is determined to abuse his power, to keep his secrets hidden, and to undermine the Constitution and democracy. And it is no coincidence that all of this is happening as he is embroiled in a scandal involving his best friend Jeffrey Epstein, as he is launching unprovoked and illegal wars, and as a critical election is coming up in a few short months.

Anyone who isn’t asking “What is he afraid of,” just wants to remain blissfully ignorant. Not to mention willfully enslaved by a dictator.

Trump Flunky Tells NBC News that ‘We Should All Have a Little Empathy’ For Poor Crybaby Trump

Posted by on March 22, 2026 at 2:17 pm. 1 Comments :

Throughout the political career of Donald Trump it has been glaringly apparent that the singular focus of his attention is always exclusively on himself. Having been diagnosed unofficially by knowledgeable observers as a malignant narcissist, Trump continues to validate those opinions with virtually every vile and hate-filled public utterance he makes.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

The idolatrous fixation that Trump’s toadies in Congress and the MAGA media have for him would make a fantastic plot for a comic book about a dystopian country with an authoritarian leader. Unfortunately, it makes a horrific theme for a real world scenario wherein a cult leader manages to acquire power and plots to preserve it at all costs.

SEE THIS: Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

This scenario can seen at work in the remarks by Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, on Sunday morning’s episode of Meet the Press. In a discussion about the recent passing of American hero and lifelong patriot, Robert Mueller, host Kristen Welker pressed Bessent on his reaction to a disgusting comment Trump made about Mueller’s death…

Welker: Trump from yesterday, responding to the death of Robert Mueller, he posted this, quote “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen? Someone who is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?
Bessent: [After rambling about the FBI lawfully searching for – and finding – classified materials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort] Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family.
Welker: But to the question of the president’s post – I mean, Robert Mueller didn’t order that raid – Is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?
Bessent: Again, given what has been done to president Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.
Welker: So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with the post saying, “Good. Robert Mueller’s dead”?
Bessent: Again, I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family.

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for POTUS to celebrate the death of Bronze Star recipient?BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what's been done to the president & his familyW: So there's nothing wrong w/post saying, 'Good. Mueller's dead'?B: We should have empathy for the president

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-03-22T14:29:30.099Z

Welker asked a simple question seeking to ascertain Bessents’s opinion as to whether it was appropriate for Trump to dance on the grave of someone that he regarded as political foe. But Bessent was unable to provide an honest answer. He entirely ignored the fact that Mueller was a decorated veteran who served his country honorably, and devoted decades to public service. Instead Bessent diverted to nonsense about the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, that Mueller had nothing to do with.

Bessent preposterously claimed that “it is impossible…to understand what he [Trump] has been through,” and that that somehow justified his repulsive posthumous insult. And worse, Bessent declared that it is Trump who we all should feel sorry for at this time, rather than Mueller and his grieving family.

This is just plain sick. And it is further evidence of the severity of the cult indoctrination that is rampant in MAGA World. They can’t even express sympathy for a deceased American who spent a lifetime serving his country. Unlike Trump who took five phony deferments and got 34 felony convictions.

However, it’s typical of Trump who has nothing but animus toward patriots like Mueller. Trump has said similarly grotesque things about veterans such as senators John McCain and Mark Kelly. He has also insulted several generals who worked for him in his administration, including John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and Mark Milley.

As for disrespecting the dead, Trump said awful things following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Reiner, while not a veteran, directed the military themed movie “A Few Good Men,” and was an advocate for veterans benefits, as well as other issues related to civil rights and democracy. But Trump maligned him as having been killed “due to the anger he caused others through his..TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

This is all further evidence of the diseased mind of Trump – or what’s left of it. He is filled with rage and hatred. And he is incapable of common decency. And yet, his flunkies still seem to think that he is the one deserving of sympathy. Poor baby Trump has suffered so much by enriching himself at the expense of the American people, while viciously attacking his perceived enemies, and even legally persecuting them.

Consequently, no one is likely to be surprised by Trump’s contemptuous incivility. And therefore, no one should be surprised by the incivility directed at him when he finally descends into hell.

Wannabe Dictator Trump Signs Executive Order Mandating Army-Navy Football Game Schedules On TV

Posted by on March 20, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 1 Comments :

The state of the union under Donald Trump today is decidedly stressful and suffering greatly from both the flaming ignorance and deliberate malfeasance of Trump and his MAGA regime. There is an ongoing, deadly war raging in Iran, rising inflation and costs of living here at home, Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing American citizens, and cover ups of grotesque crimes related to Trump’s unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump, Military Parade

Yet somehow Trump manages to stay laser focused on the issues that matter most to the American people: Golden ballrooms, UFC fights at the White House, battling ugly windmills, voter suppression legislation, and when all else fails, bashing the free press and trying to undermine the Constitution.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

On Friday morning Trump held a ceremony at the White House to present the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the Navy football team for beating Army during their 2025 game. But true to form, Trump was unable to focus his attention on the matter at hand. He wandered around aimlessly whining about men in women’s sports, his alleged success in Iran, and how awesome he is at everything he ever does.

As part of the ceremony, Trump diverted from the honor that was supposed to be bestowed on the Naval Academy’s athletes, to put himself at the center of attention again. He announced that he was signing an Executive Order to dictate to the college football associations, and the television networks, what they should be allowed to do with regard to scheduling games and their broadcast times.

As usual, Trump was undeterred by the fact that he has no authority to interfere in those private enterprises. He even admitted as much saying that “I have much more power in my second term,” and acknowledging that he is likely going to be sued over this power play. He told those at the gathering that…

“I’m going to sign an executive order to ensure that the second Saturday in December, is preserved exclusively – nobody is playing football. […] If you don’t want to watch football, you don’t have to. But if you want to watch football, you are only watching one game.”

Trump might as well have continued “Do you hear that, you peasants. You’ll watch what I watch and do what I say at all times. Free enterprise is a thing of the past that only stupid and weak presidents adhere to.” And with that, Trump unveiled his completely unconstitutional Executive Order that mandated that “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered [that]…

Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of the United States that no college football game, specifically college football’s CFP or other postseason games, be broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army-Navy Game.
[No president has the authority to mandate a policy that dictates the scheduling of college football games or their broadcasts on television. And the Army-Navy game is no exception.]

Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Commerce and the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) shall coordinate with the CFP Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, related organizations, other appropriate Government agencies, and the playoffs’ broadcast and media rights partners with the goal of establishing an exclusive window for the Army-Navy Game, during which no other college football game is broadcast.
[The Commerce Secretary and FCC Chairman are not empowered to negotiate broadcast and media rights or to establish exclusive windows for the the Army-Navy Game, or any other games.]

(b) The Chairman of the FCC shall consider reviewing the public interest obligations of broadcast licensees to determine whether those obligations would require that the Army-Navy Game remain a national service event.
[This clause was included as a threat to the television networks that any disobedience could result in the revocation of their broadcast licenses for alleged failure to act in the public interest. Never mind that football games cannot reasonably be considered matters of public interest in this legal context.]

All of this is just another attempt on Trump’s part to interfere with the business of the media and quash freedom of the press. He is putting himself above the principles of the Constitution and pretending that it is all some sort of play for patriotism. Note that the players in the Army-Navy games are not active-duty enlisted soldiers. They are students in the military academies. And thus, for the purposes of these games, they are no different than the students in other sports programs at other colleges.

So why should they get special treatment? Because Trump demands it. And he thinks that he’s making a statement of support for the troops. Remember, those are the troops that he has called “suckers” and “losers,” and whose lives he is putting at risk for no discernible reason in Iran. But what matter is that to a five-time draft dodger like him? And you won’t see his son, Barron, enlisting for this supposedly noble cause either.

Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’

Posted by on March 4, 2026 at 2:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have manifested in innumerable ways during his occupation of the White House. He has been resolutely averse to complying with federal law and the Constitution. He has refused to acknowledge the role of either Congress or the courts as co-equal branches of the American republic. And he has made it his mission to alienate America’s international allies, while embracing its sworn enemies.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

This has been painfully apparent in the four days since Trump launched his reckless, unjustified, and illegal war against Iran. There has already been a tragic loss of life of American troops. Not to mention hundreds of innocent Iranians. And all because of Trump’s obsession with war mongering and desperate craving to be perceived as a macho man, despite his personal resume of cowardice and the weakness of envy.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

Taking his cues from Trump, the Secretary of Toy Soldier War, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Wednesday morning to provide his update on the regress of the Iran war, that nobody in the Republican Party or crony MAGA media will admit is a war. During his extending rant, Hegseth made his feelings known about both the fallen soldiers under his command and the media that reports on their fates. He whined that…

“This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran’s airspace and waterways without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Notice that Hegseth himself refers to this as a war. Then he goes on to characterize the death of American troops as merely that “tragic things happen.” That’s true. Tragic things happen when incompetents whose prior experience was hosting weekend programs on Fox News are put in charge of massive military bureaucracies. But rather than taking responsibility for it, Hegseth blames the media for giving it the proper attention that fallen heroes deserve on the front pages and opening segments of their reporting.

However, to Hegseth, “reporting the reality” of these tragedies is just the media’s attempts “to make the president look bad.” Trust me…Trump doesn’t need any help from the media to look bad. But Hegseth is outraged because reporting that Americans have died in this regime’s war of choice and vanity can’t be spun as something positive for Dear Leader Trump.

Making matters worse, when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked about Hegseth’s callous remarks, she took the same position…

Kaitlan Collins of CNN: Given what Hegseth said this morning, is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. Service members?
Leavitt: No, it’s the position of this administration that the press in this room, and the press across the country, should accurately report on the success of operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room. […]

The press does only want to make the president look bad. Especially you, and especially CNN […] You and your network know that you take every single thing that this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad. That is an objectable (sic) fact.

Leavitt personally insults Collins, while literally saying that the job of the press is to report only “the success of operation Epic Fury” (aka Epstein Fury), not the reality. Because the reality has the unfortunate, albeit accurate, side effect of hurting Trump’s objectively abysmal reputation. And she flagrantly lies that it’s a fact that “every single thing” the administration says is used by CNN to make him look bad. Has she never seen Scott Jennings, Ben Ferguson, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Ari Fleischer, and many more of CNN’s Trump-fluffers?

Leavitt conveniently fails to mention Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, where she spends more time than she does at her White House office. And Fox News has also been regurgitating the Trump regime’s talking points about Iran, while downplaying the bad news. For instance, Fox’s Emily Compagno recently gushed that Trump “is a president that does not take the loss of those six American lives lightly. He takes it with the gravitas it deserves.” For the record, here is the “gravitas” that Trump expresses for the loss of life…

Trump Threatens to Start a War with Iran Because They’re Doing What He Wants to Do In the U.S.

Posted by on January 2, 2026 at 1:35 pm. 0 Comments :

The madness of Donald Trump is exhibiting ever more troubling signs of serious harm for America and the world. His aspirations of authoritarian control of the nation are being manifested in his words and deeds that demonstrate his disrespect for the law and the principles of freedom and liberty that are enshrined in the Constitution.

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

Donald Trump, QAnon, Dictator

In a late night 3:00 AM comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump issued a direct threat to Iran where citizens are currently protesting the extremist theological regime that has been in power there since the last time that the United States tried to interfere with their internal domestic affairs. More recently, Trump ordered a totally impotent assault on Iran in an attempt to neutralize its nuclear capabilities.

SEE THIS: The Trump Regime’s Post-Iran Bombing Propaganda Party is a Sputtering Dud

This morning Trump unleashed an online outburst aimed at Iran after he heard that they were shooting protesters. Because rage-posting on social media is how America announces its foreign policy in the Era of Trump. He seethed that…

“If Iran shots (sic) and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.TRUMP”

So Trump is threatening ANOTHER war? He says he will commit U.S. military forces to "rescue" protesters in Iran.But he won't even provide weapons or other aid to Ukraine where his pall Putin is slaughtering thousands of civilians.Also, he wanted to shoot peaceful protesters in the U.S.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-01-02T09:29:50.412Z

REALLY? Trump is threatening to start yet another war following his misadventures with Venezuela, Syria, Nigeria, and Yemen. Not to mention his threats to invade and/or annex Mexico, Panama, Canada, and Greenland. Or his deploying troops into American cities. And he fancies himself a candidate for a Nobel Peace prize?

Now Trump says he will commit U.S. military forces to “rescue” the protesters in Iran. He is feigning concern for those civilians who are the victims of the brutal regime. Which is peculiar because Vladimir Putin is doing much more harm to the civilians in Ukraine, but Trump has balked at providing them – a long time ally – with the weapons, intelligence, and other aid to help them to resist Trump’s pal Putin, who is slaughtering thousands of non-combatant men, women, and children, which is Russia’s custom.

To be clear, Trump isn’t promising to give financial support to the Iranian protesters, or training, or to help to organize a coalition of allies. Nope. Trump is promising to put American lives on the line. That’s what “locked and loaded and ready to go” means. So whose sons and daughters will be deployed to Iran? Certainly not Trump’s. As for Trump himself, he’s a five-time draft dodger.

What’s more, the offense by Iran that has Trump so riled up is that the Iranian leaders are allegedly shooting peaceful protesters. Which makes this a good time to remind everyone of what Trump did during his first occupation of the white House when he asked his military advisors why they couldn’t just “shoot the protesters” in a park across the street from the White House. This was disclosed by Trump’s own Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, to Norah O’Donnell on CBS News’ 60 Minutes…

O’Donnell: What specifically was he suggesting that the U.S. military should do to these protesters?
Esper: He says, “Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something.” And he’s suggesting that that’s what we should do, that we should bring in the troops and shoot the protesters.

So to summarize, Trump wants to deploy American troops into Iran to stop them from doing to protesters there what he wants to do to American protesters. And he couldn’t care less about what Putin is doing top civilians in Ukraine. Do we need any further evidence of the madness of Donald Trump?

Is Secretary of ‘War’ Pete Hegseth Covering Up the War Crimes that He and Trump Have Committed?

Posted by on December 16, 2025 at 1:40 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past few months Donald Trump has presided over a series of deadly air strikes on boats in the Caribbean that he alleged were engaged in drug trafficking. Never mind that he provided no evidence to support his allegations, or that such strikes in international waters are against international law. And even if there were evidence, the alleged crimes would not have been subject to capital punishment.

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

Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth

Trump’s Caribbean misadventures have been conducted purely for what he perceives to be the political benefit of slaughtering what he calls “narco-terrorists” (a ridiculous, made up term), and its usefulness in deflecting from his tribulations involving the Epstein files that he continues to suppress. Meanwhile, Trump’s Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth, has holiday visions of bloody corpses dancing in his head…

SEE THIS: The Nauseating Christmas ‘Wish” of Trump’s Bloodthirsty Secretary of ‘War’ Pete Hegseth

One particularly disturbing attack occurred on September 2, 2025, when the first air strike left a couple of survivors clinging to the wreckage of their boat. So there was a second strike ordered that succeeded in murdering the two helpless survivors. Most reputable military legal experts have called that a war crime.

Video of the first strike was released shortly after it occurred, But video of the second strike has been mysteriously withheld. Consequently, there has been a great deal of interest in releasing the second video in order to ascertain the facts that have been mired in controversy and ever-changing.

When this subject was first raised with Trump, he pretended to have an opinion favoring complete transparency and told reporters that he had “no problem” with releasing the second video. But that position didn’t hold for very long…

On December 3:
Question: You released video of that first boat strike on September 2nd, but not the second video. will you release the video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened?
Trump: I don’t know what they have, but whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.
On December 8:
Question: You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela.
Trump: I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news…Whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-12-08T20:32:26.091Z

So Trump’s willingness to release the second video was short-lived, and he quickly shifted responsibility for what was being described as a war crime to his DoD underling, Hegseth. In the process, denying that he said what he was actually caught saying to a room full of reporters.

On Tuesday morning Hegseth was asked about the second video and gave an answer that appears he hopes will close the debate, saying that he would…

“…allow the HASC [House Armed Services Committee} and SASC [Senate Armed Services Committee] to see the unedited video of September 2nd, alongside Admiral Bradley, who has done a fantastic job, has made all the right calls, and we’re glad he’ll be there to do it. But in keeping with long-standing Department of Defense policy, of course we’re not going to release a top-secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public. HASC and SASC, appropriate committees, will see it, but not the general public.”

Hegseth on the second Sept 2 strike: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret full unedited of that to the general public"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-16T16:20:28.975Z

For some reason it has been appropriate to release every other video of the two dozen boat strikes (so far) in the Caribbean before this. They are estimated to have resulted in at least 95 deaths, possibly of innocent fishermen. But for this one video different rules apply, even though nothing is different about it. There is nothing more in it that would compromise national security or confidential military sources or methods.

The only difference with this second video is that it might reveal to the American people just how lawless and inhumane the Trump regime is in their conduct of this phony, undeclared war. So Hegseth prohibits its release in order to shield himself – and Trump – from accountability for their criminal misconduct. It also shields them from the public disgust and disgrace that would follow if they were to see what Hegseth and Trump have been up to.

Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been calling for the video to be released. Any efforts to suppress it can only be viewed as a deliberate cover up. And Hegseth cannot be the final word on this. Ultimately, Trump is supposed to be the commander-in-chief, and it his his decision to release or hide this video.

If Trump chooses to hide the video, he is essentially admitting that it contains information that would incriminate him and others. Very much like his choice to hide the Epstein files. Hopefully Congress will prevail in this matter, and the people will get the truth to which they are entitled.

Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Posted by on November 22, 2025 at 1:02 pm. 0 Comments :

Democrats and Republicans are both warning that these are dangerous times that we are living through. Political violence has been on the increase. Democrats have been concerned about this for several years, but Republicans seem to have just taken note of it since the shooting of right-wing activist, Charlie Kirk.

Donald Trump, Fox News

Kirk’s murder riled up the MAGA confederacy, generating a relentless stream of accusations against Democrats as being responsible for the rising tide of violence. The right’s complaints have themselves risen to the level of potentially violent rhetoric. That’s especially true of Donald Trump. And they are in complete denial of the fact that most such violence, by far, is committed by conservative perpetrators.

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

This week Trump lashed out a group of Democratic members of Congress – all military and/or intelligence veterans – who produced a video to remind soldiers of their legal obligation, as stated in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, that requires them to refuse to obey unlawful orders. To which Trump and his MAGA minions immediately replied by accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump’s threat is despicable and inflammatory. The concerns of those in the video are not hypothetical. Trump has already issued orders that are plausibly unlawful, including those to bomb boats in Caribbean without evidence of any criminal activity, and his invasions of U.S. cities by military troops to quash peaceful protests. With regards to the latter, several court rulings have already found that those deployments are illegal, including one such ruling this week.

Another affirmation of the grotesque consequences of Trump’s outbursts is that one of those in the video, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, has already been the victim of a bomb threat. Fortunately, she and her family were not at home at the time, and no one was hurt. But the intent was clear. Except, that is, for those at Fox News, who reported on the incident and perversely twisted the facts to blame Sen. Slotkin for the attempted bombing of herself. The Fox News story reported that…

“Sen. Slotkin’s home targeted with bomb threat days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” [and that] “The video, which was posted on Tuesday by Slotkin, has drawn the ire of Republicans as well as the Trump administration.”

Did you catch that? Fox reported that the bomb threat occurred “days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” Which is technically true. However, it was just a few hours after Trump posted his incendiary call for Slotkin and her colleagues to be executed. Which is far more likely to have incited the bomb threat. Funny that Fox News didn’t mention that. What’s more, in Fox’s retelling, it wasn’t Slotkin who was the target of the bomb threat, just her home. Fox also only associated the violence with unnamed Republicans and the Trump administration, but not Trump himself, who made the reprehensible remarks.

Sen. Slotkin is not the only one who has been on the receiving end of MAGA malice. Another participant in the video, Rep. Jason Crow, has been getting profane phone calls threating him and his family. You can hear them here, if you have the stomach for it. His congressional office has also received a bomb threat.

To reiterate, these atrocious acts were triggered by patriotic veterans issuing a reminder about the duties that service members swear an oath to. And Fox News is complicit in the deliberate distortion of their intentions that makes the threat of violence toward these members of Congress more likely. Some people might call that seditious behavior. But if they did, Trump would surely pardon them, just as he did others who were actually convicted of it.

UPDATE: Trump was rage-posting late Saturday against the members of Congress in the video…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining and incoherent again. So I thought I'd help him out.

Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

Posted by on November 20, 2025 at 10:05 am. 2 Comments :

The megalomania of Donald Trump is reaching grotesquely frightening new lows. In a flurry of rancid posts to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump is accusing several members of Congress of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Will this abomination convince Republicans that Trump must be removed from office?

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s basis for these accusations are as weak as his perpetually tedious lies about having won the 2020 election, or his constant boasts about his divine brilliance on every subject. However, these charges are far more dangerous than most of the laughably incoherent remarks he makes. This episode of his demented hostility began with a segment that aired on Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The Fox News segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

In the video the Congress members reminded those in the military that they have a legal obligation to refuse to follow unlawful orders. It is stated explicitly in Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. However, Trump has preposterously misinterpreted this as an act of sedition. He posted the following comment on Thursday morning…

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT”

To be clear, Trump is accusing members of Congress of sedition, and demanding that they be prosecuted, and even potentially put to death, for reiterating the actual legal obligations of the military as stated in the UCMJ. And if his own posts weren’t bad enough, he reposted 18 more comments (so far) by random people on his website saying such things as “Insurrection. TREASON!” and “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”

The members of Congress in the video that Trump is accusing of sedition are Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.). They were all either military veterans or intelligence operatives before being elected to Congress. Which makes Trump’s accusations all the more reprehensible considering his notorious refusal to serve by falsely claiming five medical deferments for “bone spurs” during the Vietnam war.

What will GOP Senate leader John Thune think about Trump wanting to execute his fellow senators? And what will former senator, now Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio think about killing his former colleagues? Is there any line that Trump could cross before they consider impeachment, or the 25th Amendment to remove him from office?

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Trump is meant to excite and increase the hatred of his MAGA cult disciples toward Democrats. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve. It is abominable and unconscionable rhetoric that will further divide the nation and potentially incite violence.

In other words, it is entirely expected of Trump whose aversion to fellow Americans who fail to unflinchingly worship him is an integral part of his character, or lack thereof.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.Don’t give up the ship.

Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

Posted by on November 19, 2025 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The rise of authoritarianism in the reign of Donald Trump has been an inescapable concern for the patriotic Americans who cherish the principles on which this country was founded. For the whole of his time occupying the White House, Trump has worked against those principles in order to advance his cravings for wealth and power.

Fox News, Constitution

In just the first year of his second term, Trump has wildly exceeded the anti-American aspirations of his first term. He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America’s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his “Justice” Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that’s an abbreviated list.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution – from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural – into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America’s military.

In addition to Trump’s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.

The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

Blackburn: It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission. I find it inconceivable, but that is what they have chosen to do, and we will see what the response to them from Democrats…I find this just so disturbing that they would say defy the orders if you do not like the orders.
Faulkner: I don’t think they understand the slippery slope of what that does to an already unpopular Congress.

“Inconceivable!” "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (Also "Treason" on Fox News chyron)The Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally REQUIRES service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-19T19:58:00.399Z

“Inconceivable”? Blackburn says that twice. But as was noted by Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” For one thing, they never said to “defy the orders if you do not like the orders.” They referred only to unlawful orders. And the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. But don’t expect anyone on Fox News, or among the MAGA GOP, to know that.

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Blackburn and Fox News is meant to bring the animosity of their viewers toward Democrats to a furious boil. It is meant to further divide the nation and potentially incite violence. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve.

As such, it is Fox News and Trump’s flunkies who are engaging in the most heinous sort of unpatriotic rhetoric that should be regarded as – not treason – but at least inconceivable in civil society.
