Fox News Finally Admits that Republicans Have No Healthcare Plan, Then Blames it on Democrats

Posted by on January 5, 2026 at 2:32 pm. 0 Comments :

From its inception thirty years ago, the mission of Fox News has been to promote the Republican Party and its right-wing principles. With the advent of a populist cult leader in Donald Trump, Fox News adjusted their role from political ally to glassy-eyed loyalists, performing the function of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Fox News isn’t just an arm of the MAGA media machine, it actually employs Trump’s Daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a primetime weekend program host. That’s just one example of how closely Trump and Fox are intertwined. More examples are readily available. Such as how Fox News gushes over the alleged physical and mental superiority of Trump, despite all the evidence that both are in severe decline.

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

However, the latest example of how devotional Fox News is toward their Dear Leader came in Monday’s episode of Trump’s favorite Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends. In a segment intended to bash Democrats for not supporting Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela, co-host Brian Kilmeade, detours to the valid criticism of Trump that he isn’t paying attention to the things that matter most to the American people. And high on that list is the crisis over healthcare availability and affordability. Unfortunately for Kilmeade, his strategy just affirms how out of touch the GOP is. And how dishonest Fox News is.

Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don’t have a health care program. They can’t have a crisis. It’s your program that’s in crisis. And you can, as a president, have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.”

Brian Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don't have a health care program. They can't have a crisis.”

Okay then. Democrats have long denounced the Republican Party for not having a healthcare plan. The GOP has raged about the Democrat’s Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) for fifteen years, promising to repeal and replace it. But in all that time they have never managed to deliver an alternative. Nevertheless, they insisted that they were ready to go forward with their imaginary plan that they assured was better and cheaper. If only it existed.

Kilmeade then concluded that the GOP’s lack of a healthcare plan means that any healthcare crisis is therefore the fault of Democrats. WTF? It is Republicans who have tried to hobble Obamacare which, by the way, is broadly popular with the majority of the American people across political lines.

Kilmeade also points to Democrats and says that “It’s your program that’s in crisis.” No it’s not! It’s the people’s program. And it’s Republicans who are deliberately putting it in crisis by refusing to extend the premium subsidies, without which costs will double or triple or worse. But to Fox News that’s the Democrats’ fault? Also, Kilmeade says that a president can “have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.” That’s true. And Trump has neither.

This is familiar behavior by Republicans. They can’t take responsibility for anything. They currently control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, but still say that Democrats are to blame for the hardships being thrust on the nation that is being governed by Republicans.

Fortunately, later this year there will be an election that looks to be trending in favor of the Democrats. And when they have the upper hand, they will show Republicans, and the nation, that progress can be made when you have the people’s interests at heart, and the intelligence and compassion to act on their behalf. Rather than the GOP cowards who are beholden only to Herr Trump.

MAGA Mike Johnson Just Gave the Best Reason For All Americans to Vote for Democrats Next Year

Posted by on December 21, 2025 at 1:30 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend the MAGA cult is gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, for their annual “AmericaFest” rally, an event launched by the late Charlie Kirk’s white nationalist “Turning Point USA” organization. The roster of guests is who’s-snooze of ultra-conservative disciples of Donald Trump and the newly canonized Kirk.

Donald Trump, Impeach

Among the featured speakers is the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson. He is conveniently available because he has once again shut down the House in order to avoid having to take votes on embarrassing issues such as the extension of the health insurance premium subsidies in the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). The last time Johnson shut down the House was to prevent the swearing in of Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva, and having to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

During Johnson’s speech for the AmericaInfest crowd he made a point of raising an alarm about the potentially disastrous prospects for the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections. Johnson and others in the Republican Party are terrified of being blown out in a massive “Blue Wave” election that would return majorities in the House and Senate to the Democrats. Most polls provide ample justification for those fears. So Johnson warned the MAGA-tists of the troubles they face, saying that…

“Everything that is said here – everything is on the line in the midterms of 2026. And we have much more to do. If we lose the House majority, the radical left, as you’ve already heard, is gonna impeach President Trump. They’re gonna create absolute chaos. We cannot let that happen.

GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, just gave a great reason to vote for Democrats across the board in the midterm elections next year. Thanks MJ! #ImpeachTrump

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-21T18:06:00.160Z

And there you have it. Johnson has just provided what is perhaps the best reason for the American people to vote in unprecedented numbers for Democrats up and down the ballot next year. Trump is already a convicted felon. He has been found civilly liable for sexual harassment and abuse. His companies have been ordered to pay multimillion dollar judgments for having committed fraud. And that’s just looking at the recent past.

Currently Trump is using his office to enrich himself and his wealthy friends. He is committing war crimes in the Caribbean. He is embracing our enemies and abandoning our allies (i.e. Ukraine, NATO, the EU). He is deporting law abiding migrants to foreign gulags. And his domestic economic policies are creating financial hardships for millions of Americans.

All of the above – and there is plenty more – is more than enough reason to impeach Trump. And the American people appear to be ready to take that step. Trump’s polling is dreadful. Even the latest Fox News poll has him floundering in deeply negative territory.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, Celebrates Trump’s Approval Ratings – That SUCK!

What’s more, Trump is seen by most voters as being oblivious to their concerns. A quick look at the issues that the voters care most about shows how thoroughly out of touch he is with what the people want.

THANKS FOX NEWS!Check out the top 3 issues that the American people want Trump to focus on. He's ignoring all of them, or making them worse.But he's laser focused on the other 5 issues. Which he is also making worse.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-21T17:52:09.367Z

Instead of paying attention to the interests of the people, Trump is demolishing parts of the White House to build a golden ballroom. He is attaching his name to a memorial for John F. Kennedy. He is directing his “Justice” Department to persecute his political foes. He is imposing inflationary tariffs (aka taxes) on American businesses and consumers. And he still finds time to play golf, attend sporting events, watch TV, and rage-post.

Those may not be impeachable offenses, but they contribute to the sentiment that is spreading like wildfire. Except, of course, among the MAGA cult. Although Don Jr had something to contribute during his speech at AmericaInfest that might have a different meaning for most Americans than he intended. He bragged that “This isn’t the Republican Party anymore. It’s the America First Party. It’s the MAGA Party.” In other words… IT’S A CULT!

Even Trump’s Loyal MAGA-tists are Disgusted By His Deplorable Commentary on Rob Reiner

Posted by on December 15, 2025 at 3:31 pm. 1 Comments :

For the better part of a decade Donald Trump has demonstrated a measure of the monstrosity that makes up his character, or lack thereof. He keeps challenging the nation to imagine how he could ever get any worse as an alleged human being, and yet he still manages to exceed everyone’s worst expectations.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

We’re talking about someone who had an unsavory relationship with a notorious pedophile; blows up boats in the Caribbean without any proof of wrongdoing; cuts off life-saving aid to millions of poor people around the world; allows health insurance subsidies to expire making it unaffordable for millions of Americans; deports law-abiding migrants to foreign gulags; pardons international drug traffickers and other criminal felons; and threatens to execute members of congress…

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

However, if you think that Trump has hit rock bottom, you don’t know Trump. On Monday morning Trump posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, expressing his extraordinarily vile thoughts about the tragic murder of iconic actor/director Rob Reiner and his wife. It was among the most nauseating things he has ever said, and that’s saying something.

The gist of his comment was that Reiner deserved to have been murdered “due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.” Of course, Trump has no evidence of that, or any idea of what the motive was. Also, if Trump thinks that Reiner was murdered because he hated Trump, then isn’t Trump accusing one of his followers of the murder?

Donald Trump continues to sink to ever deeper depths of depravity.His comment on the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife is unspeakably grotesque. And, as usual, reeks with the stink of his massive, yet fragile ego.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-15T19:20:34.355Z

Trump, however, was not satisfied with his repulsive post. Later the same day Trump took some questions at the White House, and one of them was about the Reiner comment. Naturally, Trump would not express any regret or apologize for his indecency. To the contrary, he doubled down…

Reporter: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that statement?
Trump: Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump was concerned. He said he liked – he knew it was false – In fact it was the exact opposite – that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. It was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself career-wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”

Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-12-15T20:49:42.119Z

Someone needs to tell Trump that you don’t need to be a fan of someone to express some sympathy for their untimely demise, and for the grief of their loved ones. But the only person that Trump can think about is himself. So he manufactures reasons to lash out Reiner, and rehashes old allegations about Trump’s connections to Russia, which have been mostly validated.

It’s also notable that Trump ignored the part of the question that mentioned the Republicans who have denounced his comments. For the record, here a just a few of them…

Rep.Thomas Massie: Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.

Meghan McCain: This is awful, cruel and beneath President Trump.

Jonathan Turley: [A]bsent is any sense of restraint in light of this tragedy or any consideration for this grieving family.

Rep. Mike Lawler: This statement is wrong. Regardless of one’s political views, no one should be subjected to violence…It’s a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period.

Andy McCarthy: No words. I mean, ‘disgraceful,’ ‘appalling,’ ‘atrocious’ — those are words, but they don’t do it justice.

Kennedy: Disgusting, unnecessary and inappropriate.

Guy Benson: Gross.

Joe Concha: Completely inappropriate.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies…It’s incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder.

That’s just a sampling of the reaction from the right-wing Republicans who form the base of Trump’s MAGA movement. But it is also an indication that his supporters are beginning to show some of the backbone that has been sorely missing for the past ten years. It was inevitable that as Trump’s approval ratings decline, as they have been, his supporters would start to fear the people – i.e. voters – more than they fear Trump. That’s the tipping point at which we may be now.

If this trend continues, Trump will not only find himself without a Republican majority in Congress, but without support from what remains of the GOP. Nobody will want to be associated with someone who disparages beloved Americans who were taken from us far too soon. Trump pretended to hold that position when right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was murdered. But his hypocrisy is on full blast now. By comparison, let’s revisit what Rob Reiner had to say shortly after Kirk’s passing. It really reveals the differences between a good man and sociopath.

“That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right. And, totally, I believe — you know, I’m Jewish — but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in ‘Do unto others.’ And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said [Erika Kirk], to me, was beautiful and absolutely — you know — she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable.”

Trump is OUTRAGED that a Democrat is Running as a Democrat After Trying to Buy Him With a Pardon

Posted by on December 7, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 0 Comments :

It has long been observed that the most – or only – criteria for securing support from Donald Trump was demonstrating an unflinching and unyielding loyalty to Trump no matter how reprehensible his words and deeds. Glassy-eyed praise for Trump earns his affection. But even the mildest criticism triggers his wrath.

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

Donald Trump Angry

The degree of Trump’s egomaniacal dependence on fawning devotion has been evident in the Dear Leader Flagellation Forums …er… Cabinet meetings that he arranges where his subordinate sycophants take turns exalting His MAGA-sty in the most humiliating manner imaginable.

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

On Sunday morning Trump put his desperate need for approval on display again with a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. this particular comment was a tedious 391 word rant complaining that Democratic representative Henry Cuellar of Texas didn’t switch parties and become a Trump suck-up after having received a pardon from him. Trump’s tirade is too lengthy and deranged to bother reposting in it entirety, so what follows are are few choice excerpts with annotations. Trump began by whining (of course)…

“Can you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years […] They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters. […] The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”

Can you imagine??? If not it’s only because none of what Trump is saying is remotely aligned with reality. At least 14 other Democrats, mostly in swing districts like Cuellar, have taken the same positions as Cuellar on the border. But the Party was not “looking to destroy” any of them, and none of them were indicted or otherwise subject to “extreme force and jail time.” Trump went on to explain his reasons for granting Cuellar a pardon…

“[H]is daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents […] After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter’s loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people […] God was very happy with me that day!”

So Trump is admitting that he didn’t do any due diligence to ascertain whether there was good reason to indict Cuellar, or whether he was guilty. The only thing that Trump based his pardon on was the emotional outpourings of Cuellar’s daughters, who might not have been especially neutral in their opinions. And for his negligence and pitifully easy manipulation he believes that he earned the approval of his “god” – aka himself.

For the record, Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, were charged with accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani oil company and a Mexican bank, and laundering the money through shell companies. Then he allegedly used his influence to benefit these companies. Two of his political consultants pleaded guilty to the charges. Trump doesn’t appear to have taken any of that into consideration. He just raged further about what was truly bothering him…

“THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again…as a Democrat…Such a lack of LOYALTY…next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

And there you have it. Perceived loyalty is once again Trump’s only concern. He thinks that because he gave Cuellar a pardon, that Cuellar owes him his political devotion. It’s another transactional affair wherein Trump thinks that he’s buying loyalty, and that Cuellar stiffed him. And by the way, when has Trump ever been a “nice guy”?

The reality that Trump is ignorant of is that Cuellar, although he is a moderate/conservative Democrat, votes pretty consistently with his Party. In the 2021-2023 session of Congress, he voted with his fellow Democrats about 97% of the time. In 2024 that dipped to 71% – still a solid majority – likely because it was an election year and he represents a Republican leaning (R+2) district. His district is expected to get even redder after the recent racist and partisan gerrymandering by the Texas state legislature at Trump’s behest.

Cuellar was asked about Trump’s insane online outburst by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, and the prospect of his switching parties. Cuellar affirmed that he’s a Democrat and that “I don’t vote party. I vote for what’s right for the country.” Which is a rational philosophy that neither Trump nor the GOP has ever been able to comprehend.

BARTIROMO: Have you considered switching parties?CUELLAR: Look, I'm a DemocratBARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

Trump FREAKS OUT Over a Democratic Plan to Add 12 Supreme Court Justices – That Doesn’t Exist

Posted by on December 5, 2025 at 1:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The frequency with which Donald Trump deliberately lies in order to keep his glassy-eyed flock of MAGA disciples both dumbed down and fired up is really pretty impressive. It’s a machine gun style of disseminating disinformation that his fellow felonious advisor, Steve Bannon calls “flooding the zone with shit.”

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

Donald Trump

Trump routinely inflates the statistics he cites for everything from the tariff revenue he claims to have received (that American consumers pay for), to the amount he has reduced drug prices (an impossible 1,200%), to the number of wars he has ended (precisely zero). And of course that extends to his egomaniacal bragging that his polling is now the highest it has ever been. Not only is that untrue, but…

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

So naturally, when Trump brings up the issue of reforming the Supreme Court, he exaggerates whatever tiny speck of information he happened to come across while scrolling his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. And on Friday morning Trump was excited to report some flagrantly false news about a Democratic proposal that exists only in his cartoon brain…

“The Democrats number one policy push is the complete and total OBLITERATION of our great United States Supreme Court. They will do this on their very first day in office, through the simple Termination of the Filibuster, SHOULD THEY WIN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. The Radical Left Democrats are looking at 21 Justices, with immediate ascension. This would be terrible for our Country. Fear not, however, Republicans will not let it, or any of their other catastrophic policies, happen. Our Country is now in very good hands. MAGA!!!”

First of all, Trump is the single worst source for information about what the “number one” policies of Democrats are. And those policies are obviously not the “total OBLITERATION” of the Supreme Court. In fact, Democrats have been laser-focused on the cost of living and affordability, a term that Trump says is “a Democrat scam,” even as he calls himself the “affordability president.”

What Trump is whining about is the prospect of Democrats ending the Senate filibuster if they regain the Senate majority in next year’s elections. Which they appear to have a pretty decent shot at doing, But Trump regards terminating the filibuster as such a horrible idea that he is demanding that Republicans do it first.

Trump bases his objection on his own prediction that, without the filibuster, Democrats would seek to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court by 12 to a total of 21. Never mind that no Democrat in Congress has ever proposed that. Although there have been rational proposals to add just four new justices in order to correct the grossly partisan imbalance on the current Court. Those proposals include other reforms such as term limits and enforceable ethics standards. The latter of which an always ethically compromised Trump would never agree to.

Trump is happy with the current MAGA majority on the Court. He appreciates rulings like the one just published that approved a racist gerrymander of congressional districts in Texas. The truth is that Trump has ulterior motives of his own. He wants Republicans to eliminate the filibuster so that he can get his radical and profoundly unpopular agenda through the Senate that, with a razor-thin Republican majority, he is failing to achieve.

So Trump’s solution is to nuke the filibuster and screw at least half of the American people. Because the only things that he has ever been interested in are his own authoritarian grip on power and acquiring more wealth through grift and fraud. Which, ironically, are the same objectives of the MAGA justices on the Supreme Court.

The Trump Regime Wants to Take America Back – To the 1970s So They Can Buy Crappy Cars and Stuff

Posted by on December 4, 2025 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the most often repeated slogans from politicians of both parties is one that expresses their desire to regain control of government institutions that have been usurped by their opponents. They chant that they will “Take America Back” from the usurpers and restore the values that the American people cherish.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

However, the problem with the Republican version of that is that it is their clear and stated objective to take America back in time to an era in which they were more comfortable discriminating against minorities and women, while enriching themselves and their wealthy friends and corporate benefactors. That agenda has not been particularly popular as of late…

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

On Thursday morning, Trump’s Transportation Secretary (and former MTV reality show goofball), Sean Duffy, was interviewed on CNBC to try to persuade their viewers that making cars less gas efficient and more polluting will benefit them in their pocketbooks. It was an argument that he was ill-prepared to make. And it showed…

“I want the market to decide what kind of EV I should offer, what kind of vehicle the American consumers want to buy. This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers.”

WHUT? This is what Republicans mean when they say they want to "take America back."They mean back 50 years so you can have a shitty "1970s station wagon" that guzzles gas, pollutes the air, and makes people sick. And also be able to oppress minorities and women.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-04T18:37:06.130Z

OH GREAT! That’s just what America wants. They have been hankering for the nation to go back 50 years so they can buy a shitty “1970s station wagon” that wastes fuel, worsens air pollution, and has fewer safety features. And they are also looking forward to being able to oppress minorities and women, returning to a federal minimum wage of $1.60 per hour, and enjoy calling people on their land lines using their rotary phones.

What Duffy is referring to are the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that auto manufactures are required to meet. He is defending Donald Trump’s decision to roll back those standards to allow for lower fuel economy performance. Trump argues that this will result in cheaper cars, saying that…

“We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions,”

However, as usual, what Trump is asserting does not align with reality. First of all, he already eliminated any fines associated with not meeting CAFE standards in his “Big Ugly Bill.” And while there is some debate over whether or not higher fuel efficiency standards make cars more expensive, there is no debate that they lower fuel costs for consumers. And more importantly, they reduce pollution and the healthcare costs – including preventable illness and death – associated with it.

The bottom line is that there is no rational argument to roll back the CAFE standards. To the contrary, that will only make owning a car more expensive, and maintaining good health more difficult. If people didn’t want higher fuel efficiency in their cars, they wouldn’t be buying EVs in droves.

Trump’s plan, though, will please the CEOs of the big auto makers. And that’s really the only thing that’s important to Trump and the Republican Party. Let’s see how that works out for them in next year’s election.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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

Posted by on November 17, 2025 at 1:15 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump told his supporters in his 2015 campaign that if they voted for him they would soon become “sick and tired of winning,” he was partly right. They are becoming sick and tired. But on the heels of his disastrous and record breaking government shutdown, he and the GOP are being held accountable for the turmoil, chaos, and suffering that it caused.

Donald Trump Sweating

The election results earlier this month were another warning sign for Trump and the Republican Party that they are sinking fast in the minds of the American people. He lost in virtually every contest despite his frenzied politicking. Trump’s focus on extraneous matters that are of interest only to him and his most MAGA-tized cult followers predictably alienated most voters.

SEE THIS: Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship

Consequently, Trump is now turning in desperation to efforts to rig the 2026 election by grossly gerrymandering districts in Republican states. He knows that he can’t win by campaigning on his achievements or agenda. So he posted the following threat aimed at his fellow Republicans on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

“I will be strongly endorsing against any State Senator or House member from the Great State of Indiana that votes against the Republican Party, and our Nation, by not allowing for Redistricting for Congressional seats in the United States House of Representatives as every other State in our Nation is doing, Republican or Democrat. Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we’re not going to let this happen! This all began with the Rigged Census. We must keep the Majority at all costs. Republicans must fight back!”

First of all, Trump’s crusade to turn red states even redder is an admission that he’s losing and has to resort to cheating. He’s too scared to let voters make their own choices for who they want to represent them. What’s more, it is wholly improper for him to inject himself into the electoral affairs of the sovereign states. But he was just getting started. His comment consists of several brazenly dishonest, and frankly demented, assertions that deserve further scrutiny. For instance, Trump says that…

  • “Every every other State in our Nation is” redistricting.
    Actually, it’s only 13 states. And more Republican (8), than Democratic (5).
  • “Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere.”
    However, it was Trump and the GOP who started it in Texas. Democrats still prefer independently drawn districts and are only trying to level the playing field.
  • “This all began with the Rigged Census.”
    The last census was conducted in 2020, when Trump was occupying the White House. So is he confessing that he rigged it, but just did it badly?
  • “We must keep the Majority at all costs.”
    That’s a frightening position that reeks of totalitarianism and suggests that it includes breaking the law and engaging in violence.
  • “Republicans must fight back!”
    As noted above, Republicans were the initiators. It is Democrats who must fight back.

Despite his determination to undermine democracy, Trump and his Republican confederates may be surprised by the election results next November. Many of the districts that they rejiggered to favor themselves weakened their advantage in adjacent districts, while failing to sufficiently improve their position in the new districts. They could end up losing both.

Furthermore, they based their redrawing of the maps on 2024 election data where many Latinos were swayed by Trump’s economic promises that he has not come close to fulfilling. Consequently, recent polling shows that Latinos are shifting back into the Democratic column, which would seriously screw up the GOP’s new maps. This was confirmed by CNN’s poll analyst, Harry Enten who reported that…

“Donald Trump’s net approval rating on immigration among Latinos. He is 38 points underwater. That is a 36 point shift from where we were a year ago. […] Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office in the minds of Latinos, it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers.”

No wonder Trump is resorting to threatening his own party members. Trump’s loss of support among the public is translating to the loss of support in his party. There was always going to be a tipping point where Republican members of Congress would be more afraid of their voters than they are of Trump. We may be at that point now.

Trump Mouthpiece Whines that the Epstein Story Gets More Press than Trump ‘Winning’ the Shutdown

Posted by on November 13, 2025 at 1:29 pm. 1 Comments :

This week has seen a couple of significant stories competing for the attention of the media. One of them is the end of the longest government shutdown in United States history, which broke the record set by Donald Trump in his first occupation of the White House. The other story is the Jeffrey Epstein emails that implicate Trump in his pedophilia activities.

Donald Trump

Both of those are important stories to keep the public informed about the state of the government and the affairs (no pun intended) of the president. However, one of them is weighed down by the dull details of economics, while the other is bursting with the excitement of scandal and melodrama. So take a guess. Which one is the media most anxious to cover? And subsequently, which one is the Trump regime most worried about?

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

That’s right. Trump has been working feverishly to suppress any media mentions of the Epstein story. He is blasting the press for promoting what he calls a “hoax” (as usual). And he is pressuring his MAGA minions in Congress to deep six the issue. Meanwhile, he is hardly talking about the shutdown at all. As of this writing, he hasn’t posted a single comment on it in more than 24 hours on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. But not to worry. His Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is on the job. She tweeted Tuesday morning that…

“If not for the Jeffrey Epstein story, CNN would be forced to talk about how Chuck Schumer and the Democrats got shellacked by President Trump and Republicans in the government shutdown fight. It’s clear this is another Democrat + Mainstream Media hoax.”

See? The Epstein story is just another hoax that is being spun by the fake news. And if Epstein’s emails, that tell of Trump having spent hours with an Epstein victim in Epstein’s home, weren’t revealed, we would all be “forced” to talk about Trump’s magnificence at “shellacking” the Democrats.

The problem with Leavitt’s argument, besides her callous dismissal of the gross and potentially illegal behavior of Trump, is that there was no “shellacking” of Democrats to brag about. To the contrary, Democrats crushed Trump and his MAGA Republicans by raising the issue of healthcare to the top of the news cycle.

Democrats also succeeded in attributing the blame for the shutdown – and all of the harm it has caused for the American people – to Trump and the GOP in Congress. They also insured that a vote will be held to hold the GOP accountable for the skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums. They also secured funding for SNAP for a full year.

To be sure, there are problems with the agreement to open the government, but they pale in comparisons to the gains, and they will be brought up again in two months when this Continuing Resolution expires.

The bottom line is that compassionate Democrats compromised in order to get SNAP funding for children, seniors, and others flowing. While simultaneously putting the cruelty of Trump and the Republicans on display. And the evidence of that was shown in the latest polls that have Trump underwater on every major issue, particularly the economy and the Epstein files…

TRUMP IS TOAST!CNN's Harry Enten: "Trump is 39 points below water on the Epstein case. […] Less than half of Republicans are buying it."Also, Trump is losing BIGLY on every one of these other issues. How can his MAGA Republicans continue to back him?

If these numbers hold – or more likely worsen – for the MAGA movement, there will be a massive blue tsunami next November. And while Democrats get most of the credit for that, Republicans can take some pride in knowing that they were at least partially responsible for sinking their own ship.
