Republican James Comer Gives Fox News a Damn Good Reason to Vote Democratic and Flip the House

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to have a profound impact on the remaining two years of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House. It is likely that Democrats will regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and have a good chance of doing the same in the Senate.

Fox News Sad

The prospects of Trump transforming from a Screech Owl to a Lame Duck next year are greater with each passing day. He is doing virtually nothing to advance the campaigns of Republicans. He even said to reporters that I Don’t Care About the Midterms.” Instead, he is focusing almost exclusively on vanity projects like the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and his golden ballroom. He hardly even mentions anymore the war against Iran that he’s losing. The closest he comes to articulating a campaign theme is to regurgitate the “red scare” paranoia of the 1950s.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

In support of his Dear Leader, Republican Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, made another of his nearly daily appearances on Fox News. But during the course of what he thought was a segment that would juice Trump’s standing with the public, Comer offered what is more likely a motivating message for Democrats.

“This is just a perfect example of the Democrats. And I think that all they’re gonna do if they flip the House and become the majority of the House is investigate and harass Donald Trump.”

Republican James Comer is making a great case for voting for Democrats and flipping the House. He says that they will investigate and harass Trump.GOOD! There will finally be some law and order, rather than the sycophantic cowardice and puppetry of the GOP Congress.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-07-06T20:14:30.224Z

OH NO! NOT THAT! Comer is threatening that if Democrats are elected they will do exactly what Democrats, most independents, and even some Republicans, want them to do. This is the sort of message that will drive voters who are tired of – and disgusted by – Trump to the polls in record numbers. Surveys show that the American people are through tolerating Trump’s corruption and lies.

Voters see Trump enriching himself by billions of dollars, mostly via scams, while they are struggling to pay for gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. And they see him wasting scarce taxpayer revenue on trivialities like alleged DC beautification, or worse, atrocities like ICE thugs persecuting innocent immigrants and even some citizens.

The onscreen message on Fox News during Comer’s segment said that a “Dem Report Claims Trump Corrupted America 250.” Which is some more inadvertently accurate messaging from the folks at Fox News. There is indeed a well researched report that reveals how Trump has hijacked the “America 250” project to divert funds to his own “Freedom 250” scam.

The spectacle of watching Comer accidentally help Democratic campaigns is not a one-time mistake by Trump regime confederates. Trump’s former press Secretary, Kellyanne Conway, has done it as well…

Trump himself has unintentionally characterized himself as a recidivist criminal, and unwittingly reminded people of his frequent illegal activities…

Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

The prospects for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections continue to improve as their candidates outperform Republicans, even in red state primaries. It’s clear that the American people are sick and tired of Donald Trump’s failures, lies, vanities, and senile outbursts.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

Meanwhile, Republicans are facing the almost certain loss of the majority in the House of Representatives, and a likely similar loss in the Senate. The GOP response to these dire predictions has been to double and triple down on extremist hyperbole that diverges entirely from anything that matters to voters, and from reality itself.

SEE THIS: BE AFRAID! Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Warns Fox News About Imaginary Marxist Democrats

The whole of Trump’s MAGA Party is following his lead in trying to malign Democrats as communists. Never mind that they have no rational basis for that charge. It is just more of their explosive diarhetorica that they are dispensing out of pure desperation.

Naturally, Trump is taking the lead in this reprise of the “red scare” attacks that failed so miserably in the 1950s. To that end Trump posted a hysterical comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that illustrates his devotion to dredging up tactics that didn’t work 75 years ago. His comment began by announcing that…

“Today I am declaring a National Scallops Day to celebrate an action taken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that will open up the Northern Edge of Georges Bank to Scallops Fishing, fulfilling the dream to our Great Fishermen who were so badly treated by the Obama and Biden Administrations, and by the Country of Canada.”

FINALLY! Someone is doing something about the horror that Democrats imposed by depriving citizens of their god-given supply of marine mollusks, and “fulfilling the dream” of American fishermen. Trump bragged that, in order to do this, he “terminated” the environmental monument status of sensitive waters on both U.S. coasts, saying that…

“I have opened up the Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Seas to our Fishermen, and freed them from ridiculous Environmental restrictions that allowed other countries to take advantage of the United States’ Waters under Barack Hussein Obuma, Sleepy Joe Biden, and the Dumocrats.”

Following that display of childish name-calling, Trump revealed in all caps what may become his rallying cry for the remainder of the midterm election campaign season…

“GO OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE MIDTERMS, BECAUSE IF THE COMMUNISTS GET IN, YOU’LL NEVER FISH AGAIN!”

HOLY SHIH TZU! Trump is accusing Democrats of plotting to prohibit all fishing forever. And to his cabal of MAGA disciples, that is a totally reasonable accusation of something they are eagerly ready to believe that Democrats will actually do.

Yet Somehow the MAGA-tists haven’t realized that it is their Dear Leader who is the aspiring communist. He is the one who is implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government, and defunding public media such as PBS, NPR, and Radio Free America. He has even sued media conglomerates for billions of dollars, forcing them to either pay up or suffer his retribution.

Communist leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are drooling with admiration and envy. But while Democrats and most other patriotic Americans are appalled, from a strictly political perspective they are pretty excited. Because the more that Trump and his GOP confederates focus on this sort of red baiting idiocy, the better chances Democrats will have of victories in November. So go for it, Donald. We’ll see you at your next impeachment hearing.

Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

For someone who was born into a wealthy family, Donald Trump has none of the attributes of a typical snobby elitist the high society tastes of his upper crusty peers. To the contrary, Trump has always exhibited the sleaziest classlessness of those he regards as uncultured peasants and revels in looking down upon.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

Trump has presided over the bedazzling of the White House with gaudy thrift store filigree. He has made an obsession of “renovating” public spaces and symbols by gilding them in a manner that would embarrass the poshest royalty. And he has done much of that with tributes to himself, adding his own name and/or pumpkinized likeness. Although not always successfully.

SEE THIS: Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

As it turns out, Trump’s trashy tastes are not shared by the vast majority of the American people. The findings of new polls by Reuters/Ipsos and Fox News reveal just how far Trump is from having any connection to the people that he purports to represent. The polls sought the public’s opinions as to the appropriateness of Trump’s UFC cage matches that he is staging at the White House. As reported by CNN’s Harry Enten…

“Americans don’t find this thing to be appropriate. Take a look. Just 16% overall. And among Republicans – even among Republicans, you know the diehard base Republican Party with Trump through thick and thin – just 31% of Republicans.” […]

“Americans just don’t think that Donald Trump and this White House is in touch with them. Because they put on stuff like that that Americans don’t really care about. Take a look here. [Those who] say the White House is out of touch with people like you, 60% overall. We’re talking about 3 in 5 Americans. And look among Independents. 80% of Independents say that the White House is out of touch with people like them.”

Harry Enten: Just 16% of Americans say UFC White House fights are appropriate. Even among Republicans, just 31%. 28% of Americans believe in telepathy.

FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-06-12T17:47:54.769165704Z

Those are some seriously abysmal stats. Particularly those among Trump’s own party. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. The UFC project is something that has consumed much of Trump’s time. And even though the UFC says they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. It glorifies violence. And it is a project that will enrich a Trump friend, and that even the Trump family will personally profit from.

Taking this together with the billion dollars he’s spending on his vanity ballroom, and the millions that will be sunk into the Reflecting Pool, and what he has wasted on the Kennedy Center, and his paving over of the White House Rose Garden, and his proposed D.C. arch, and you have an idea of what Trump’s real interests are. They are not the interests of the American people.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage a reckless and illegal war against Iran. He is neglecting the financial burdens of the nation for necessities such as groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare. He is seeking to slash benefits for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He is attacking citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. He is persecuting immigrants who are seeking a better life for their families. He is embracing foreign adversaries and alienating allies. And he is suppressing the free press.

The Trump agenda is a perfect storm of callous disregard for the welfare the nation and its people. But perhaps the worst part of all of this is that Trump knows precisely how much the people despise him and his policies. We know he watches CNN and the reports by Harry Enten, because he frequently whines about them. So he likely knows about this reports as well. He just doesn’t care.

Maybe he will care more after the midterm elections when he and his MAGA party feel the wrath of the American people.

How DUMB is Trump? He Just Admitted His Followers Want to ‘WHACK’ Hecklers at His Cult Rallies

The mind-numbing idiocy of Donald Trump never ceases to astonish the long-suffering American people who can’t believe how deeply his ignorance descends into an abyss of abject blather. Even after bragging that he has “aced” multiple psyche tests (that measure cognitive decline, not IQ), Trump still exhibits troubling signs of mental impairment.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Mental health professionals have weighed in on Trump’s evolving dementia in thoroughly researched and documented studies, such as the book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” Making matters worse is that Trump insists on displaying his emotional deficiencies in the most public ways possible.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Continuing that trend, Trump spoke at a political rally Friday in support of a MAGA Republican congressional candidate in New York. And he was in top form for spreading his foolishness far and wide. Among the critical issues that face the nation – war in Iran, inflation, healthcare, etc. – what Trump chose to focus on was his extraordinary ability to craft insulting nicknames for his political enemies. Attacking the Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, Trump babbled that…

“He’s a dumb guy. I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s a dumocrat.’ That’s how I got the name. You take the E out. You don’t use the B. A lot of people don’t know dumb has a B in it actually. You don’t need it…They are dumocrats. You know why? Because their policies are dumb.”

WOW! What an incredibly brilliant play on words – for a seven year old. And whenever Trump refers to what “a lot of people don’t know,” he really just means himself and the MAGA-tists who worship him. Even seven year olds know that “dumb” has a B in it.

A little later in the same speech, Trump was heckled by someone in the audience. His comebacks in these situations are never particularly effective. But this time he ventured farther out on the limb of incoherence than usual. He whined about the risks of exercising freedom speech at a Trump cult rally…

“I tell people ‘Please don’t do it, it’s dangerous.’ To do it in this crowd is not a good thing…I like things that aren’t dangerous. I don’t like to see people get whacked. I don’t like it. So don’t do it.”

Trump just warned people not to heckle him at his rallies or his supporters will kill them.Let that sink in. He didn't tell his supporters not to kill people. He told his critics to shut up.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-23T09:52:10.055Z

Let that sink in. Trump is admitting that his followers are prone to violence, and that they might actually kill you if you express an opinion different than their Dear Leader.

This is the rhetoric that Trump is embracing while he and his MAGA-tists complain about the hostile tone in politics that they pretend to believe must stop. But unlike the phrase “8647” (which means simply to remove or prohibit someone from a particular place), to “whack” can literally mean to murder, in the Mafioso lingo that Trump likes. And notice that Trump doesn’t tell his followers not to kill people who criticize him. Instead, he tells his critics to shut up or risk getting whacked.

Clearly, Trump cannot handle criticism. His massive ego is far too fragile to tolerate it. Even in his telling of this tale about hecklers, Trump said that in the past “Guys would start screaming ‘We hate you, sir.'” Really? They called him “sir” while expressing their hatred? With absurdities like that, there is really only one way to describe Trump’s behavior. And that is to say that it’s dumb, with B. Coming from the leader of the Dumpublican Party.

BE AFRAID! Mike Johnson Frets About ‘Little Mini Mamdanis Popping Up All Around the Country’

The rapidly approaching midterm elections in November continue to stir deep seated anxieties in the Republican Party as their prospects for any sort of favorable results fade into the realm of improbable fantasy. Most recent polling show Democrats winning a solid majority in the House (despite the GOP attempts at redistricting), and a pretty good chance of taking the Senate as well.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

The predictions of a massive Blue Wave are driving GOP leaders into frenzies of desperation. They are utterly incapable of competing on the merits of their ideas or their records in office. So they are resorting to the most pathetic campaign tactics that rely solely on lies and smears. In other words, The Trump Strategy.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Leading the way is Republican House speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson. During a Wednesday morning interview on Fox News (where else?), Johnson revealed his innermost fears of the dreadful electoral outcomes that await him and his party in the near future.

“The way I describe it in summary is that there are little mini Mamdanis popping up all around the country. Okay? And they’re openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history.”

OH MY! Johnson is quite right. This country has never before been invaded by mini Zohran Mamdanis, the recently elected – and massively popular – mayor of New York City. And Johnson is also right to be afraid. These marauding Democrats are threatening to take the nation by storm, improving the lives of every American and advancing the principles of freedom and liberty. That alone should strike terror into the MAGA-tists. Even without the ludicrous lies that Democrats are “avowed socialists” espousing “Marxist ideology.” No wonder the GOP elite are scared. But Johnson was just getting started…

“The Tea Party resetting the Republican Party was about fiscal responsibility. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology, and that’s a dangerous thing for the future of the country.”

Really? Johnson is apparently oblivious to the fact that the current mood in the nation’s politics is dominated by the abysmal fiscal irresponsibility of the Trump regime that has resulted in higher costs of everything from gas and groceries, to housing and healthcare, and so much more. He is also blissfully unaware that it is Trump who is undermining the Constitution at every opportunity, and cozies up to his communist idols like Vladimir Putin. Johnson wraps up saying that…

“The problem we have, the insurgent left, the far left has all the energy, excitement, and the money in the Democratic Party. This is not our father’s Democratic Party anymore. They are going far, far left, and no one’s there to stop it.”

Once again, Johnson is right. “This is not our father’s Democratic Party.” Much as he wishes it were. In fact, he wishes it were a political party and era more like that of his great grandfathers, when women and people of color had no rights or voting privileges. and Democrats like Mamdani knew their place. Johnson is also right that there is no one who can stop it.

So maybe Johnson should just sit down and shut up for while as the adults run the country. It’s not like he’s actually doing anything anyway. He has presided over the least productive Congress in decades. And his overarching tendency has been to surrender every last remnant of the constitutional duties of the Legislative branch of government to Dear Leader Trump. Including allowing Trump to pocket billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money

The MAGA GOP speaker says that an action by Trump's "Justice" Department (to pay him billions of dollars) "is not in my purview." ???Oversight of the Executive branch and its agencies is a core function of Congress. Johnson is, once again, surrendering his jurisdiction to Dear Leader Trump.

UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Less than a year and a half ago, Donald Trump managed to eke out a narrow victory and return to his occupation of the White House. And it didn’t take long for him to successfully sink the electoral prospects of his blindly obedient MAGA minions in what can now be called the Republican Cult.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump’s agenda of imposing unlawful and inflationary tariffs that increased the cost of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing, to healthcare, and more, were just the beginning of his assault on the American people. He followed that up with deployments of his ICE StormTrumpers in U.S. cities. Then he decided to wage an unprovoked and illegal war against Iran. And all the while disgorging virulent hate speech intended to divide the American people.

SEE THIS: Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

The first year of Trump’s second term could not have been more politically crippling if he had devised it deliberately to destroy the GOP. His approval ratings have broken through the basement floor and are heading toward the Earth’s burning core. And this isn’t the opinion of what he calls the “radical left lunatics” in the mainstream media. Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, just a released a poll that found him floundering.

Fox published their results in an article declaring that “Sour voters say Washington is out of touch.” That headline actually bails Trump out by suggesting that it it isn’t his fault that everything sucks. It’s those “sour” voters. But the rest of the article wasn’t as gentle.

The article began by noting that “Voters are not only dissatisfied with the direction of the country but also pessimistic about the economic outlook.” The poll found that “Nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” Then the article elaborated saying that…

“His worst numbers are on inflation, with a new low of 28% approving […] His 34% approval for the economy is another new low, down 6 points since January and 9 points from a year ago. Other ratings are also well underwater: healthcare (36% approve, 64% disapprove), Iran (36-64), taxes (36-64), foreign policy (38-62), and immigration (44-56).”

Trump is unlikely to be able to improve on any of that between now and the midterm elections in November. One important reason for that is that he isn’t even trying to. To the contrary, he is doubling down on his widely opposed domestic policies by insisting that everything is the best it’s ever been in the history of mankind. And he’s celebrating his war in Iran as a “little excursion” that he says he won in the first hour, three weeks ago. Which begs the question, why is he still fighting, and even escalating, with thousands of troops being deployed to the Middle East, and requests for $200 billion more in funding?

It’s tempting to muse that, with regard to Trump, “When you’ve lost Fox News…” But Trump has never been satisfied with the polling by Fox. He frequently goes on the network to whine about their polls that sometimes put him in a negative light. But Fox News remains his mass media mouthpiece. And polls like these will rarely turn up on the primetime shows that Trump watches. So most of his cult followers will never see these numbers. However, here’s an example that snuck through during a daytime program…

Fox News may be accepting the reality that Trump is a mentally impaired loser whose star is fading. More likely, they realize that their audience is already aware of how dismal their lives are without Fox or Trump trying to persuade them that they are prosperous and happy. In any event, expect Trump to chastise Fox for having the audacity to post these poll results. He will surely regard it as an act of betrayal, and he might even sic his FCC boss on them with impotent threats of revoking their licenses (that don’t exist).

SRSLY? Trump Threatens Democrats With ICE Thugs in Airports to Coerce Passage of DHS Funding

For the third time since Donald Trump returned to his vengeance and ego driven occupation of the White House, the nation is mired in a government shutdown orchestrated by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress. And it only took a little over one year to match or exceed the record for duration of a shutdown – twice.

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

Donald Trump Angry

No rational observers are falling for the GOP spin that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. If they were interested – or competent – they could have easily negotiated agreements that avoided the shutdowns, but they preferred to hold the American people hostage, forcing them to suffer skyrocketing health insurance costs, and tolerating violent tactics by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement thugs (ICE). They never really wanted to avoid the shutdowns…

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

The burning issue that Trump and the GOP are fixated on this time around is the passage of funding for ICE in a Homeland Security appropriations bill. Trump and his MAGA toadies refuse to consider common sense proposals to reign in the brutality of his untrained and unqualified ICE agents. They would rather cripple government services that Americans rely on, and force federal employees to miss work or go without pay. And on Saturday morning Trump weighed in with a crackpot comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.”

REALLY? Trump is effectively admitting that the tactics employed by his ICE StormTrumpers are so hostile and dangerous that they are useful as threats to coerce Democrats to obey his authority. But it’s not an especially wise position to take for an agency that already has broad disapproval ratings. Does he think that the American people want to be screened for travel by the same masked thugs who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

What’s more, Trump is regurgitating the right-wing talking points that accuse Democrats of being responsible for the disruptions at airports due to the Republican shutdown. In reality, it is Democrats who have offered proposals to fund the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as well as FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other Homeland Security functions. But Republicans have voted against those proposals – five times so far.

Trump’s comment also suggested that ICE agents at the airport would be able to make the “immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants” Does he think that immigrants are coming in illegally by plane, where there are already checkpoints screening foreign passengers? And in a ridiculous and racist aside he specifies that there will be a “heavy emphasis on those from Somalia.”

Trump’s brazen bullying and threats are unlikely to achieve his goal of convincing Democrats to pass the DHS funding bill without reforms. The “art-of-the-dealer” is proving how pitiful his negotiating skills actually are. He can’t even get all of his Republicans in the Senate to sign on. But this new threat sinks to ever lower depths of depravity. If anything, it will result in an even worse defeat in Congress.

IN A PANIC Trump Threatens GOP to Pass His Anti-Voting Act, Because His ‘Reasons’ Are Pure BS

For several weeks Donald Trump has been fixated on passing what he calls the “Save America Act.” He has elevated it to a position of top priority, declaring that it must be passed at the expense of everything else.” He even declared that he will sign no other legislation until after this bill is passed by Congress and put on his desk for signature.

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

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Trump’s obsession with his Voter Suppression Act is based entirely on his fear that Republicans are going to be brutally beaten in the upcoming midterm elections. He knows that such an electoral defeat would make him even more pathetically impotent than he is currently. And he views any challenge to what he sees as his divine right of MAGA-sty as intolerable and must be prohibited.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In the past week Trump has posted several comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, demanding that his Republican toadies in Congress obey his authority and pass the anti-voting bill. And not because he wants fair elections. To the contrary, he’s been openly pitching that the bill would result in Republicans never losing for the next 50 years.

On Tuesday morning he leveled his most hostile commands to date. In his familiar hyperbolic rage Trump called the bill “one of the most IMPORTANT & CONSEQUENTIAL pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and America itself.” He lied that voting by mail is “rigged” and that “We are the only Country in the World that allows” mail-in voting. At least 30 other countries do. Then he elaborated saying that…

“Only sick, demented, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. If they do, each one of these points, separately, will be used against the user in his/her political campaign for office – A guaranteed loss! […] I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST ‘SAVE AMERICA!!!'”

OMG! Not THAT! Trump is threatening to withhold his precious endorsement from any Republicans who defy his will. It’s notable that he needs to resort to threats, because his powers of persuasion suck. And he has no credible arguments to convince anyone that the bill has real merit.

However, given his current abysmal standings in the polls, his endorsement is what is more likely to result in “a guaranteed loss.” Not to mention the unpopularity of the bill itself. Which is why Republicans in the Senate are leaning against voting for the bill in the first place. For the record, this isn’t the first time Trump has bellowed out this sort of threat. Last week he unleashed this bit of fascist theory wherein he insists that “anybody who votes against The Save America Act should not be allowed to run for public office.”

There is virtually no chance of Trump’s Voter Suppression bill passing in the Senate. It would require 60 votes, and there are only 53 Republican senators. Democrats are united in opposition. So Trump is spinning his wheels with no possible hope for victory. Plus, he will end up having to revoke his endorsement for a few Republicans who vote against the bill. That is if he keeps his word, which is not something he is known for.

GOP Oversight Chairman Lies that 85% of Trump-Epstein Pervs are Democrats’ – Reality Disagrees

This week the news cycle was interrupted by the annual State of the Union address that is delivered by the president. And true to form, the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump, unloaded a record long harangue that surely didn’t disappoint his glassy-eyed cult followers who hungered for more red meat hostility aimed at Democrats, women, foreigners, and the rest of the anti-Trump realists that they have been brainwashed to hate. It was nearly two hours of innumerable lies, insults, and shameless self-exaltations for imaginary accomplishments.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Trump’s SOTU speech is unlikely to move the needle on his historically abysmal disapproval ratings. So the attention of the American people is going to quickly return to the issues that they care most about, which Trump largely ignored in his speech. They include the economy and the high cost of living, immigration and Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing them and their neighbors, and the horrific crimes committed by Trump and his confederates in association with Jeffrey Epstein.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

To the dismay of Trump and his toadies, the Epstein scandal is not going to go away. Particularly if they keep trying to cover it up and/or sweep it under the rug. But that won’t stop them from trying. Leading the charge from Congress is the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. On Wednesday morning he took up his usual post on Fox News to disseminate his partisan propaganda. And typically, he lied to Fox host Harris Faulkner about the key participants in the Epstein affair, and whether he intended to interview any Republicans.

“The truth of the matter is that about 85% of the people that were prominent who were involved with Epstein are, you know, Democrats. So we’re gonna continue to question whoever they are regardless of political party or political identification, but the fact of the matter is the majority of the people were Democrats.”

That is about as brazen a lie as he could possibly have manufactured. While there certainly are some Democrats who associated with Epstein, the vast majority of his creepy comrades, as exposed in the Trump-Epstein files and elsewhere, were Republicans or their GOP supporters. Here’s a list of the best known people associated with Epstein…

  • REPUBLICANS:
  • Donald J. Trump
  • Melania Trump
  • Elon Musk
  • Alan Dershowitz
  • Howard Lutnick
  • Kevin Warsh
  • Steve Bannon
  • Tom Barrack
  • Peter Thiel
  • DEMOCRATS:
  • Bill Clinton

Despite this evidence that many more Republicans have fraternized with Epstein, Comer and his committee haven’t called a single one of them testify. He has, however, called Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have both agreed to be interviewed. What’s more, the Clintons have been forthright in their demands that all of the Trump-Epstein files be released. While Trump and Comer and the rest of the Republican pedophile protectors continue to obstruct the release.

If Comer were telling the truth, that 85% of those involved with Epstein were Democrats (he isn’t), then wouldn’t he and Trump and the Republicans have more incentive to release all of the files unredacted? Why are Democrats so fervently advocating for full transparency, while Republicans are opposed to it? What are they afraid of?

Perhaps it has something to do with all of the evidence that Trump’s relationship with Epstein included his participation in criminal activities. A new report reveals that Trump’s “Justice” Department is actively suppressing such evidence. According to NPR

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.”

Democrats have been adamant that the Trump-Epstein files must be released. They are willing to let the chips fall where they may. But Republicans are determined to prevent that from happening. Partisans like Comer are abusing their power to shield Trump from accountability. And he isn’t shy about admitting it. He told Fox News that “Look, I support the president. I’m gonna do whatever the president wants.” Which doesn’t seem like something someone in charge of “Oversight” should be saying or doing.

James Comer is the MAGA GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee. Which he seems to think is the Committee for treating all of Trump's crimes as an oversight.The good news is that he's such an idiot that his partisan hearings invariably make himself and Trump look worse.

Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?
