Energy Secretary on Fox News Won’t Deny that Trump’s Cuts are Purposefully Punishing Blue States

Posted by on October 3, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The flagrant hostilities expressed by Donald Trump toward his fellow Americans in the Democratic Party are symptoms of a wholly unprecedented psychosis in an American president. He isn’t merely opposing them politically. He has a visceral hatred for them and regards them as enemies of the state. And “them” I mean all Americans who don’t worship Dear Leader Trump.

Donald Trump

This week Trump posted a meme on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he called Democrats “The Party of Hate, Evil, and Satan.” Which is particularly repulsive following the shooting of conservative activist, Charlie Kirk, when Trump and others in politics are lecturing on the importance of unifying the country and avoiding the sort of hateful rhetoric that could incite violence. Clearly he doesn’t mean that for himself and his MAGA cronies.

SEE THIS: Trump HATES You and Half of America, As He Told MAGA-tists at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Hatefest

Trump is totally ignoring the calls for civility, even from his own party. To the contrary, he is escalating the animus. And not just to deliver insults to his political foes. He is directing his regime to deliberately abuse the power of his office in order to harm Democrats.

For example, his Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, was dispatched to Fox News on Friday where he was asked a direct question about Trump’s obvious efforts to hurt Democrats. And, surprisingly, Wright was briefly challenged by Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: You canceled, I believe, almost $8 billion of energy projects across the country. Most of these projects are in blue states. The Democrats are saying they’re being punished for their politics. So Mr. Secretary, are you punishing the blue states?
Wright: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. Do you and your viewers want to pay $70 million to decarbonize mac and cheese? Do you want to pay to decarbonize Uber Eats in San Francisco, or subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? People don’t want to pay taxpayer money on that.
Varney: You got me with the mac and cheese Mr. Secretary. Great performance on the show today.

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states?CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars … do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia?(That's not a no!)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-03T13:27:54.678Z

Notice that Wright completely dodged the question about whether Trump was “punishing the blue states.” He refused to acknowledge the obvious fact that the only cuts Trump was making was to states that didn’t vote for him. That deliberate – and potentially illegal – partisanship was previously confirmed by Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russell Vought, one of the principal authors of the authoritarian handbook, “Project 2025,” that Trump has embraced.

Russ Vought is a principal author of the authoritarian handbook, "Project 2025," that Trump said he didn't read, but then made Vought his OMB Director.Now Vought says that he's cancelling billions in funds to mitigate the climate crisis, but all in blue states. That's extortion and illegal.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T09:51:25.922Z

On a more substantive note, every initiative that Wright mentioned would actually save taxpayers money. Decarbonizing – or reducing carbon emissions – improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and mitigates the harmful effects of climate change. That includes the cost of healthcare for those adversely impacted.

Likewise, promoting bicycling reduces pollution, traffic congestion, and reliance on public transportation. All of which saves the expenses related to street maintenance and repair, and operating buses and trains.

Wright was praised by Varney for his “performance” during the interview, Which was an appropriating choice of words. Because everything done by the Trump regime is designed as if it were the sort of a pseudo reality TV program with which Trump is so familiar.

However, Trump et al can’t escape the real reality that Trump is abusing his power to hurt his perceived politically enemies. He actually admitted it himself recently in a post on Truth Social saying that he is working with Vought “to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut.”

With that Trump reveals that he is not a president for all the people, but just his MAGA cult. Therefore, he has no business occupying the White House. And the sooner he is removed the better off all Americans will be.

Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

Posted by on October 2, 2025 at 1:09 pm. 0 Comments :

Now that Donald Trump has succeeded in implementing his government shutdown, the blame game in Washington D.C. has reached a fever pitch. Naturally, Democrats are blaming Republicans, and Republicans are blaming immigrants – and, oh yeah, Democrats.

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

Donald Trump

The Republican messaging is rife with flagrant lies about what Democrats want in order to pass the budget legislation. They insist that Democrats are demanding free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” That’s a lie. There are zero Democrats proposing that. But Republicans have decided that this will be their sole talking point because they couldn’t care less about ending the shutdown. In fact, they are rejoicing in it, and even bragging that it is helping them to achieve some of their long term goals.

SEE THIS: MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

However, the American people have other ideas. They are opposed to Trump and his GOP cohorts allowing healthcare costs to rise to exorbitantly unaffordable levels. As reported by CNN, a new poll by the Washington Post finds that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-02T17:36:17.845Z

Meanwhile, over on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, viewers got a morsel of truth from Democratic strategist Dan Kanninen. He told Fox’s Brian Roberts that…

“This month, if the ACA tax credits do not go forward, which is what the shutdown is about…viewers on this network who are 60 years old and making $75,000 a year, will see $841.00 increases monthly to the health insurance premiums.”

Republicans were hoping that they could shove this shutdown down America’s throat and make Democrats take the heat for it. But the American people are smarter than Republicans thought. And the GOP haven’t helped themselves with statements by their Dear Leader that reveal how thrilled he is with the shutdown that will cause severe harm to millions. He posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM…I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.”

That comment is not only an expression of appreciation for the shutdown, but Trump is threatening to cut only “Democratic Agencies,” which is an openly partisan, and potentially illegal admission. He also reveals that he knows well about the authoritarian handbook “Project 2025,” that he has been denying any knowledge of for months.

What’s more, his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was also on Fox News touting Trump’s position on the shutdown and the grossly adverse consequences of it. She laid out a threat that is reminiscent of Mafia lingo in a futile attempt to coerce Democrats into submission, saying…

“Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position. And if they don’t want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. It’s very simple.”

Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that Democrats must comply with Trump's demands. This is mob talk: Do what we say and your constituents won't be harmed!Why doesn't Trump agree with Democrats to stop skyrocketing healthcare costs to prevent further harm to his constituents? It's very simple.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T17:03:27.568Z

Maybe Trump and the Republicans are the ones who should reopen the government, since they are the majority party in Congress with the power and obligation to do so. Or are they cool with harming their constituents back home? Clearly it’s the latter. Why else would Trump and company be moving so quickly and gleefully to dispense their harm?

Wannabe King Trump Threatens New Yorkers to Vote Against Mamdani or Suffer His Wrath

Posted by on September 29, 2025 at 10:38 am. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump isn’t doing much to dispel the notion that he is an aspiring authoritarian who yearns to reign like the dictators he admires, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. To the contrary, he keeps providing additional evidence of his autocratic tendencies, even as he whines about being called a fascist.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

This week Trump directed his “Justice” Department to indict former FBI Director, James Comey, despite having no evidence of any crime. He deployed his StormTrumpers to Portland, Oregon, promising to use “full force” against the American citizens living there. He delivered an absolutely bonkers address at the United Nations where he told other member nations that “your countries are going to hell,” and complained about alleged sabotage of his escalator ride and TelePrompTer. This is not normal behavior for a president – or anyone else.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

On Monday morning Trump upped the ante of presidential idiocy by issuing a threat to the people of New York City. He posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was rife with animus and imaginary invectives. He raged that…

“Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT”

Let’s begin to break this down by noting that Mamdani is not now, nor has ever been, a communist. And he has certainly never self-proclaimed to be one. Trump likely couldn’t define the word if his life depended on it. But he uses it as an all-purpose slur to fear monger his weak willed cult followers. And if he really thought that this “will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party,” he would keep his fat mouth shut. Obviously, he is scared witless of Mamdani and the Democrats in the Empire State.

More to the point, Trump is threating the citizens of New York with unspeakable harm if they choose to exercise their right to vote, but fail to select the candidate of Trump’s choice. His threat violates several federal statutes that prohibit him from abusing the power of his office to intimidate or punish people for how they vote. The Constitution also forbids him from misappropriating funds based on political criteria.

This is just another act of pure totalitarianism for Trump as he tries to interfere with an election by promising to withhold federal funds. Those funds would be used to pay for many critical services in the city and the state, including Medicaid, transportation, infrastructure, safety net services, education, healthcare, and more. He wants all New Yorkers to suffer if they do not obey his electoral demands.

This is a particularly grotesque threat considering that New York is a “donor” state, meaning that it pays more into the federal treasury every year than it gets back. That’s about $89 billion more. And yet, Trump thinks that he can punish New Yorkers by denying them these funds as if they came out of his own pocket. In reality, they come from New Yorkers themselves. Maybe they should withhold those funds from Trump’s regime in Washington.

This should not be considered just a threat toward New York. If Trump thinks he can do this to NYC, then he could try to do it to any city or state that doesn’t bend to his fascist will. And submitting to threats like this will only embolden him and his criminally dictatorial bullying. He cannot be allowed to blackmail voters.

We have a process for choosing representatives in America It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution. But “we the people” do care. And he had better learn that lesson.

Trump’s Lies About FBI Provocateurs on January 6th are Debunked by His Own FBI Chief Kash Patel

Posted by on September 28, 2025 at 11:02 am. 1 Comments :

Four and a half years after Donald Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., where his devoted cult followers stormed the Capitol, assaulted police officers, threatened the lives of members of Congress (and his own vice-president), he is still manufacturing lies to rewrite history, absolve himself of guilt, and blame the victims for his violent attack on American democracy.

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

Donald Trump Insurrection

This week there were reports published that accused the FBI of inserting undercover agents into the MAGA mob on January 6th to provoke the hostilities encouraged by their Dear Leader Trump. Those reports were published by a notoriously dishonest “news” outlet founded by conspiracy crackpot Glenn Beck. And naturally, Trump latched onto the story to advance his unrelenting litany lies about the horrific event, to demean the law enforcement institutions that he despises, and to exonerate the 1,500+ rioters that he pardoned.

SEE THIS: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump took a bold stance in support of lawlessness and cop beatings. He regurgitated the spurious allegations against the FBI as if they were facts saying that…

“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax.”

What Trump asserts was “just revealed” were unfounded allegations published by the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” And his description of the violent insurrection as “the January 6th Hoax” furthers his dishonest efforts to portray the well documented treason as some sort of myth. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’ I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ‘Agents’ are, and what they were up to on that now ‘Historic” Day.'”

Trump doesn’t bother to specify how Wray’s account of events was “different” or untrue. But Trump does unload some lies of his own, alleging that FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” Trump only wants to know who the falsely accused agents are so that he can continue his crusade of retribution, which was recently escalated with his indictment of former FBI Director, James Comey.

MORE HERE: WOW! Even Fox News Media and Legal Analysts Bash Trump’s Bogus James Comey Indictments

Not surprisingly, Trump was entirely wrong. The agents were not there prior to the violence. Nor were they “acting as Agitators.” And as it turns out, the depths of his departure from reality were exposed by his own FBI director, Kash Patel in a story published by Fox News. No, really…

“The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital.” […]

“‘Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,’ Patel told Fox News Digital. ‘This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.'”

So the truth is that the FBI agents that were there were not “undercover.” And they were only there to attempt to quell the disturbance and prevent further lawlessness. And it’s likely they were sent because Trump was doing absolutely nothing about it (other than watching from the White House with glee). No FBI agents were assigned to, nor participated in, events that contributed to or exacerbated the riots incited by Trump.

That’s according to Kash Patel. Who also says that the deployment of FBI agents in response to the riots was “the failure of a corrupt leadership.” For the record, the leadership of the FBI at the time was Wray, the Trump-appointed director of the Bureau and, of course, Trump himself, who was still president until January 20.

Furthermore, neither Trump nor Patel cited any statements by Wray to Congress that were untruthful. They made ambiguous and baseless statements about Wray’s testimony where he denied any activity by agents that provoked the riots. Which was true. But that didn’t stop Trump and Patel from asserting that some unspecified falsehood was made anyway.

What’s more, in a bizarre twist, the insurrection that Trump has denied took place, or was just a bunch of peaceful, patriotic tourists, he is now admitting was a horrendous breach of the law perpetrated by the FBI over which he presided, and his faithful followers.

This is standard operating procedure for the Trump regime. Make false allegations against your political foes, back them up with stories from partisan rags, and shamelessly disseminate those lies to the media. However, in this case, they failed to coordinate their propaganda, and the result is that Patel is actually contradicting his boss in the White House. Which is an example of another trait of Trump World in addition to its dishonesty: Incompetence. For which, in a painfully ironic way, we should be grateful.

Toddler Trump Throws Tantrum, Threatens to Sue ABC for Restoring Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

Posted by on September 24, 2025 at 11:28 am. 0 Comments :

The attempt by Donald Trump and his administration cronies to cancel the Constitution and free speech has backfired bigly. His seething animosity toward Jimmy Kimmel – and anyone else who dares to be critical of him – manifested in an ill-considered and anti-American scheme to muzzle Kimmel and have his program removed from the air.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s blatant breach of the First Amendment’s protection of the free press lasted for five whole days. After which, ABC and Disney caved in to the popular pressure to restore Kimmel’s show without conditions. That pressure came from journalists, media executives, politicians, celebrities, and mostly from the American people. And throughout the controversy, all Trump could do was whine…

SEE THIS: Trump Whines that ‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’ and Decrees That ‘They’re Not Allowed To Do That’

Trump’s preposterous claim that failing to be unflinchingly adoring of him is “illegal” is evidence of his toxic disrespect for the law and/or his shrinking capacity to grasp reality. His unbridled outrage was further expressed shortly after ABC announced that Kimmel would return to his program. Trump posted a comment dripping with desperation and hatred to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that only confirmed just how mentally dysfunctional he has become. What follows are a few annotated excerpts from his rancid rant.

“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”
There is no way that ABC told Trump that Kimmel was canceled. From the beginning they said it was a suspension. And this had nothing to do with ABC News. Kimmel is employed by ABC’s entertainment division.

“…his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly?”
Kimmel consistently ranked as the #2 late night program, following Stephen Colbert. And if Trump really thought that Kimmel was a talentless host with no audience, why the heck would he ever bother with him? The only thing that would do (and did) was raise his profile and popularity.

“…puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.”
So what? It is entirely legal – and protected by the Constitution – to be 99% negative toward Trump. That’s actually going easy on him. And where would the jeopardy come from? Trump’s threats of censorship?

“…that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars.”
If Kimmel’s jokes represent a “major Illegal Campaign Contribution” to the Democratic Party, what would he call what Fox News (and Newsmax, OAN, etc.) is doing with their 100% pro-Trump, anti-Democratic content? And his reference to the prior capitulation by ABC is an open threat to abuse his power again by filing another bogus lawsuit. He hasn’t been particularly successful in that endeavor lately.

“A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”
Okay! STFU and let him. Or is Trump afraid that Kimmel is giving the American people a more accurate and honest impression of him and must be silenced by any means necessary?

Ironically, Trump and his MAGA minions have argued themselves into a corner. They are contradicting their own claims that Trump and his FCC mob boss – er, chairman – Brendan Carr, had nothing to do with Kimmel’s suspension. They have been saying it was ABC’s choice to suspend Kimmel and just the forces of free market capitalism at work. If so, then why isn’t that true for ABC choosing to return the Kimmel show?

Trump’s flaming bullshittery has resulted in an unexpected boost for Kimmel. CNN’s Harry Enten revealed the spike in viewership for Kimmel on YouTube, where his six month median reach was about 240,000 views. Enten shows that the number has rocketed to 6.7 million, a whopping 2,683% increase. And it is still growing. It has more than doubled, exceeding 13 million, as of this writing. Nice work Trump!

UPDATE: The Nielsen ratings show that Kimmel drew 6.26 million viewers on ABC. About four times his average rating.

This, however, isn’t over. Station groups Sinclair and Nexstar are continuing to block Kimmel’s show from airing on the stations in their markets. They are both companies with pending business that relies on the Trump administration’s approval. So they are seemingly bending over backwards to kiss his…let’s say ring. Under certain circumstances ABC could respond by offering Kimmel’s show to other stations in those markets. And they can also promote viewing in those markets on streaming platforms such as YouTube. They should look into those options.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, here is Kimmel’s monologue on his return to the airwaves…

Trump Declares that He Will Not Negotiate with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown, Then Blames Democrats

Posted by on September 23, 2025 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

If there is still anyone who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump yearns to be an unchallengeable totalitarian dictator, he is doing his darnedest to satisfy all doubters as to his authoritarian aspirations. And he’s doing it openly and without a sliver of shame or any pretense of respect for the democratic principles that shaped America.

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

Donald Trump WTF

With only a week before the U.S. government will shutdown unless Congress passes legislation to keep it open, Trump has demonstrated that he not only has no interest in keeping the government open, he is actively endeavoring to shut it down. To hell with whoever is hurt by it. To Trump, obedience to his MAGA-sty is paramount. And any dissenters will be persecuted.

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

On Tuesday morning trump posted an interminably long and tedious rant to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, whining about the current standoff in Congress. Naturally, it was jam-packed with lies stirred in with his unique brand of bizarre and incoherent babbling. He began with a typically arrogant declaration that set the tone for the rest of his heinous harangue…

“After reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive. They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States.”

And there you have it. Trump has determined that there can be no productive meetings with Democrats, despite not having had a single meeting. In fact, before he even made this determination, he had already told his MAGA cronies in Congress not to negotiate with the Democrats. That’s a certain path toward failure and a shutdown of the government that will be entirely the fault of Trump and the GOP.

Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the legislation to continue to fund the government requires 60 votes in the Senate. Which means it cannot pass without Democratic votes. Yet, Republicans are proposing a short term bill that would just kick the ball down to November 21 (only two months), when their non-negotiating tactics would resume right before Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, Trump is unloading his standard barrage of utterly ridiculous falsehoods intended to malign the Democratic Party. In his posting he listed the following agenda items that he attributed to Democrats…

  • Free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!)
  • Force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors
  • Have dead people on the Medicaid roles
  • Allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits
  • Try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World
  • Allow men to play in women’s sports
  • And essentially create Transgender operations for everybody.

Aside from being profoundly stupid, not a single one of those “policies” has been proposed, drafted, or otherwise advocated by any Democrat in Congress. And none of them are being sought in the current negotiations. The only one that came close to any actual policy favored by Democrats is their effort to renew the Obamacare health insurance subsidies – for citizens. And Republicans are adamantly opposed to that. Without it premiums will skyrocket.

But it’s not as if Trump ever cared about accuracy – or reality. In addition to the above, Trump also yammered in his posting that he “[won] the Presidential Election…IN A HISTORIC LANDSLIDE.” A landslide of precisely 1.5%. He also said that “Few people voted for what [Democrats] represent, which would lead to the destruction of America.” That would be a few equal to 75,000,000. And he closed saying that…

“[Democrats] want our now thriving Country closed. I’ll be happy to meet with them if they agree to the Principles in this Letter.”

In other words, Trump will meet with Democrats when they capitulate to his autocratic demands and abandon any attempt to serve the needs of the American people. That aint gonna happen. He knows it. So he is singularly responsible for the likely shutdown that is coming. But he and his MAGA GOP will try to blame Democrats for the shutdown anyway. He will blame them for not negotiating with him after he refused to negotiate entirely. Will anyone outside of his MAGA cult buy that? Not likely.

Trump HATES You and Half of America, As He Told MAGA-tists at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Hatefest

Posted by on September 22, 2025 at 1:20 pm. 0 Comments :

Leave it to Donald Trump to transform any public event into a narcissistic regalia of the resplendence of Donald Trump. He can’t go thirty seconds without reinforcing his mythic magnificence in the minds of his MAGA minions and cult devotees.

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

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

So naturally, Trump’s performance at the memorial for slain right-wing organizer Charlie Kirk was just another opportunity for him to exalt himself, to praise his alleged accomplishments, and to malign his political foes. It’s what he always does whatever the purpose of the gathering. And this particular forum was ideal to further that fixation.

SEE THIS: The Charlie Kirk Canonizers Cherish Free Speech So Much They Will Prohibit Anyone From Using It

While Trump muttered a few of the expected sympathies for the tragically fallen martyr of MAGA, he reflexively veered of course much of the time to babble about things that had nothing to with Kirk. For instance…

  • Deploying military troops against Americans in Chicago and other Democratic cities.
  • The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and other assaults on free speech.
  • The weaponization of the Justice Department, saying that they will investigate “a network of radical left maniacs.”
  • The Trump Taxes – aka tariffs – that are fueling inflation.
  • That he hates his political opponents.

The last item on that list was an especially repulsive point to make at a memorial service where Kirk’s widow invoked the model of Jesus in forgiving the man who killed her husband. Trump, on the other tiny hand, felt compelled to proclaim that, contrary to Ms. Kirk, he hates his political opponents, saying that Kirk “did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents and I don’t want the best for them.”

How heartwarming.At a memorial service where Charlie Kirk's widow cited the example of Jesus to forgive his killer, Trump boasts that he HATES his political opponents. Which says so much about Trump and his MAGA cult followers.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-22T08:50:17.785Z

Kinda gets ya all misty inside, don’t it? But that was just a a morsel of the sour treats that Trump had for his flock. Here are a few more…

“Many of these people, by the way, are paid a lot of money to do this. [And that] hopefully we’re going to be finding out through the DOJ who those people are.”
In other words, weaponization of the Justice Department.

“…the violence comes largely from the left. You don’t hear that from too many people, do you?”
One of the reasons you don’t hear that is because it isn’t true. In fact, the Trump regime disappeared a study by the Justice Department proving that most violence is committed by the right.

“The election of, oh, that beautiful day, November 5th, 2024. Do you remember that day? It was nine months ago. What a day that was. I mean, we had a pretty good day in the first one. And I must tell you on the second one, we had a phenomenal day, but a lot of bad things happened.”
He’s still promulgating the “The Big Lie” that he won in 2020.

“Tariffs are making us rich again, richer than anybody ever thought was possible, and the only one challenging them are people that hate our country.”
Whatever “riches” have been received are from the American people who are paying for Trump’s tariffs.

“We stopped the crime in Washington. Took 12 days. Now you can go to restaurants.”
That’s funny. Because Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, keeps bragging about all the arrests that are being made in D.C, despite Trump having eliminated all crime.

“The Department of Justice is also investigating networks of radical left maniacs who fund organized fuel and perpetrate political violence.”
He’s talking about his probes of Antifa, which doesn’t exist.

“…commentators who this week are screaming fascism over a canceled late night TV show where the anchor had no talent and no ratings.”
Trump can’t let go of his having been mocked and ridiculed by a comedian. So he got him taken off the air in violation of the Constitution. [Update: Kimmel is returning Tuesday night, tomorrow]

“No side in American politics has a monopoly on disturbed or misguided people. But there’s one part of our political community which believes they have a monopoly on truth, goodness and virtue and concludes they have also a monopoly on power, thought and speech.”
Trump doesn’t realize that he’s talking about himself and the MAGA Republican Party.

“We have to bring back religion to America, because without borders, law and order, and religion, you really don’t have a country anymore.”

That’s just a sampling of the savage tone of Trump’s funereal narrative. He couldn’t care less about the welfare of Kirk, or his MAGA flock, or the violence that he is inciting with his vile rhetoric. And just in case it wasn’t clear enough when he said it, he also had his Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, drive the point home (watch only if you have a strong stomach)…

Stephen Miller – aka Santa Monica Goebbels keeps say "you, you, you…" Who the F**K is he talking about? He's blaming all Democrats. Because he wants to incite violence against them.

Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

Posted by on September 20, 2025 at 12:39 pm. 0 Comments :

The obsession that Donald Trump has with himself is a classic symptom of the malignant narcissism that many have suggested he suffers from, including his own niece, Mary Trump, who is also a clinical psychologist. She even won a court case wherein he tried to block the publication of her book (Too Much and Never Enough) that included her diagnoses.

Trump Lies

On Friday Trump held court at the White House to dispense more of the disinformation that fuels his phony facade of leadership. And true to form, rather than demonstrating any grasp of the critical issues that the nation faces, he was fixated on his own reputation in the media. And not for the first time…

SEE THIS: Trump Whines that ‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’ and Decrees That ‘They’re Not Allowed To Do That’

This most recent Trump tantrum was triggered by a reporter’s question about the “cancel culture” tactics that Trump and his MAGA minions have been employing against Jimmy Kimmel, and anyone else who dares to criticize Trump. In his reply Trump whined that…

“George Slopadopolous had to pay $16 million to me because of what he said, and that’s ABC. Your network had to pay more than that. I think that’s very sad. I think that reporting has to be at least accurate to an extent. Again, when somebody is given, 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, that’s no longer free speech. That’s just cheating, and they cheat. And they become really members of the Democratic National Committee is what they are.”

WANNABE FASCIST DICTATOR SAYS WHAT?1?? Trump is making up the 97% number.2?? Secondly, if he's getting a lot of bad press, it's because he's doing a lot of bad things.3?? He's making himself the arbiter of free speech, which is the opposite of free speech.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-20T10:04:35.734Z

Let’s just set aside Trump’s typically infantile nickname for George Stephanopoulos, and his lie that any network “had to pay” him anything. They didn’t have to pay. They chose to pay, in order to advance their corporate interests at the expense of the principles endowed by the Constitution.

More to the point, Trump’s claim that 97% of the stories about him are bad is a number that was fabricated by the ultra-rightist Media Research Center. They regard any documented reporting that casts a negative light on Trump as “bad,” even it’s just truthful. So a story about him sending troops to D.C. is counted as bad. If Trump really wants fewer bad stories about him, he needs to stop doing so many bad things. Problem solved.

Even worse, though, is Trump’s assertion that honest reporting about him is “no longer free speech.” That’s because, in his cockeyed cranium, anything that isn’t unflinchingly adoring is “fake news.” He even went on to say that it is illegal.

That’s the end game for Trump’s aspiring authoritarianism. He wants to outlaw any speech that doesn’t glorify him as a modern day messiah. He wants to muzzle everyone who speaks the unvarnished truth about him. He’s already putting his fascist boot down on Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. And he’s filed numerous lawsuits to silence media outlets such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc.

The good news is that, more often than not, when his victims fight back they win. So it is imperative that they exhibit more backbone in these situations. And if they don’t, then “we, the people,” need to let them know that we won’t stand for their cowardice and greed that is selling us – and America – down the river.

TRUMP'S BRAIN IS MUSH!After his embarrassingly bad lawsuit against the New York Times was thrown out, he says he's "winning" because Jon Karl of ABC News Is "guilty" of…Well, he doesn't say what.Except he's losing – BIGLY!MORE HERE: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=67582

Trump Whines that ‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’ and Decrees That ‘They’re Not Allowed To Do That’

Posted by on September 18, 2025 at 2:41 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past few years Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have belittled Democrats and liberals as “snowflakes” who were unable to tolerate a little criticism from their right-wing adversaries. The GOP sought to uplift themselves as models of manliness with spines of steel who could not be shaken by mere words or name-calling. This became a core symbol of their prideful self image.

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

In reality, there has been no one who has acted out more as a cowardly victim than Trump. He shrinks before the slightest scent of disapproval. He lashes out frantically in response to mildly negative remarks. And he employs howitzers to defend himself from house flies.

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

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting, much of the MAGA movement has complained that any criticism aimed at Kirk was tantamount to sacrilege. They insisted that it was insufficient to condemn all political violence, you must also kneel worshipfully before the fallen conservative organizer, even if his words and actions were blatantly offensive.

This canonization of Kirk has led to the vilification of anyone who fails to exhibit anything other than pure reverence. As a result, liberal critic like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have suffered the wrath of the right and the punishment – as Jesse Watters of Fox News says – of being “thrown out of polite society.”

This week Kimmel was suspended from his program on ABC by the overlords at Disney. And their justification was that he had crossed a line of decency with regard to Kirk. That never actually happened, but the excuse was deployed anyway. Now however, Trump himself has shown that excuse to be a convenient lie. He told reporters that…

“Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else. And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk…And they should’ve fired him a long time ago. So you can call that free speech or not.”

Is Trump even capable of not lying?1?? Jimmy Kimmel was not fired. His show was suspended.2?? He doesn't have bad ratings. He's 2nd to Stephen Colbert.3?? He didn't say "a horrible thing" about Charlie Kirk. He was talking about the MAGA response.4?? It is definitely about free speech.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-18T17:04:38.870Z

Oh. so according to Trump it was ratings that got Kimmel suspended – not fired (yet). Of course, none of what trump said was true. But that’s not exactly news. Later, on Air Force One, Trump elaborated on his views of Kimmel’s situation saying that…

“When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that. They’re an arm of the Democrat Party.”

Trump: You have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump. They're not allowed to do that

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2025-09-18T18:48:25.776920526Z

So now the reasoning behind Kimmel’s ouster is because Trump’s feelings have been hurt by all that darn criticism he inspires. What’s worse, Trump says explicitly that “They’re not allowed to do that.” You have to wonder under what set of rules he is playing by if disagreement, criticism, and mockery, are not allowed. Certainly not those spelled out in the Constitution.

True to form, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – comes to his defense. Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity did a segment Wednesday night wherein he claimed that, “I can’t find a single prominent conservative voice in the country that even remotely wanted, or hoped, or was pushing to get Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air.” Really? Not even Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr and GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson. And of course Hannity’s BFF…

Sean Hannity predictably lying that no "prominent conservative" pushed for Jimmy Kimmel to be taken off the air.So Trump isn't a prominent conservative? In July he said "Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go…It’s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!"

Fox News Flunky Jesse Watters Demands ‘Heinous’ Liberals Repent or Be Cast Out of Polite Society

Posted by on September 17, 2025 at 4:32 pm. 0 Comments :

From its very inception, the MAGA Republican movement has embraced the most vicious forms of denigration and defamation. They have taken their cues from their Dear Leader, Donald Trump, whose penchant for infantile insults and toxic tantrums are his most notoriously familiar character flaws.

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

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Which makes it all the more preposterous that they are now posing as the heralds of decency and civility, and the paragons of purity. Those have never been among the personality traits that any rational person would associate with them. Especially Trump himself, who regularly lashes out at anyone who dares to make even a mild criticism of him.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is tirelessly on guard to defend Trump’s dishonor. And among the most ferocious defenders is the Fox News Senior Doofus, Jesse Watters. In an incredibly bizarre harangue, Watters unleashed his fury at everyone he blames for the increasing political violence in the country, including the shooting of ultra-conservative organizer, Charlie Kirk.

Of course, Watters blames Democrats and liberals, despite the fact that all of the available evidence proves that right-wingers are far more responsible for it. There was even a study conducted by the National Institute of Justice, an agency of the U.S. Justice Department, that confirmed that far right extremists were more violent. And in the midst of the current controversies, the DoJ disappeared the study. But none of that stopped Watters from raging that…

“These people are incapable of turning the temperature down. So it’s our responsibility to do it for them for the safety of the country and for their own safety. Their heinous movement should be politically destroyed, systematically dismantled. Their financial backing should be bankrupted, their media sponsors defeated [they will be] given one chance to confess and apologize. If they don’t, thrown out of polite society. […]

“And their acolytes in academia, behind the pulpit, in city councils and corporate America will be spotlighted and given one chance to confess and apologize. If they don’t, thrown out of polite society. We cannot live with people and work with people like this.”

Watters has some strange ideas about how to “turn the temperature down.” Apparently his recipe includes maligning his enemies as “heinous” and advocating for them to be “destroyed.” Although he generously offers them “one chance to confess” their sins. And if they submit and repent, then he won’t have them “thrown out of polite society.” How thoughtful. And not at all rhetorically hostile, is it?

It’s notable that Watters has aggregated every possible infidel in his decree. Teachers, pastors, politicians, businessmen, are all guilty of unspecified sins for which they must apologize. Because Watters and other good folks like him “cannot live with…people like this.” And who are the people like that? Well, Watters had decided before Kirk’s shooting suspect was even known. Last week he issued a declaration of war against some amorphous “they” who were responsible, saying that…

“They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?”

Fox Host Jesse Watters: They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?

— Nikki McCann Ramírez (@nikkimcr.bsky.social) 2025-09-10T21:12:14.725Z

Everything that Watters is saying is consistent with what Trump has been saying. The MAGA-verse couldn’t care less about lowering the temperature. They want to eliminate everyone who fails to subjugate themselves to Der Fuhrer. And they aren’t shy about admitting it. But unfortunately for them, the rest of us are not going to lay down for them or kneel before Trumpler. We will stand up for the principles of liberty and democracy that America was founded on. We will do so peacefully and with open hearts. And if they don’t want to join us, they can throw themselves out of polite society.
