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

Posted by on May 23, 2026 at 4:13 pm. 0 Comments :

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.

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.

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’

Posted by on May 13, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 1 Comments :

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

Posted by on March 27, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Posted by on March 21, 2026 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Posted by on March 17, 2026 at 1:35 pm. 2 Comments :

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

Posted by on February 25, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

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.

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

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.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

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?

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

Posted by on January 15, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The American experiment in democracy is facing some its most dire challenges during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. He has never been an advocate of government “of, by, and for the people,” and he isn’t about to embrace those principles now.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Abraham Lincoln’s hopes expressed in the Gettysburg Address couldn’t be more urgently needed today as the nation is engaged in a virtual Civil War between Trump and, well, pretty much everybody else who isn’t an indoctrinated Trump cultist. And if he has his way, the freedom and liberty that have been cherished goals for patriotic Americans for 250 years will sadly “perish from the Earth.” The madness of Der Trump is literally threatening to rip apart the American Dream.

SEE THIS: Trump Says it’s ‘Treasonous’ to Report His Frail Health, in a Post that Reveals His Frail Mind

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Trump articulated some of his most bizarre and frightening aspirations for the future of this country. In particular, he was asked about the dismal prospects for his MAGA Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections later this year. As reported by Reuters…

“The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections…He boasted that he had accomplished so much that ‘when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.'”

Trump is justified in being frustrated by the electoral outlook for the GOP. Most polls show that Democrats are strong favorites to return to the majority in the House, and are well positioned to retake the Senate as well. Trump knows that if that happens, he will be subject to more accountability for his criminal misconduct than he has been with his MAGA flunkies running Congress. Including being impeached for the third time.

So it isn’t especially surprising that an anti-democracy, wannabe dictator like Trump told Reuters that, in his opinion, “we shouldn’t even have an election.” Trump has been angling for an excuse to either cancel elections, or so badly suppress voting, that the elections hardly matter. Most recently Trump floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could be used to prevent or delay the election. Exploiting the chaos he’s been deliberately causing in Minneapolis, Trump posted a lie-filled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT.”

Of course the politicians in Minnesota are not corrupt, they do obey the law, there are no professional agitators, and insurrectionists are not attacking ICE, who are provoking violence and assaulting innocent citizens.

Nevertheless, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to sane-wash Trump’s threat to cancel elections at her press briefing. She was asked about why Trump keeps talking about canceling the election. She replied that “The president was simply joking.” Because the thought of ending democracy in America is just so damn funny.

Q: Why does Trump keep talking about canceling the election?LEAVITT: He's speaking facetiously

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-15T18:32:08.929Z

In the same interview with Reuters Trump…

  • Said “I don’t care,” when asked about Senate Republicans expressing disapproval of his investigation into Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell.
  • Also said “I don’t care,” when told about “concerns that White House interference in the Fed could harm the economy.”
  • Whined that “Americans’ worries about high prices” were only due to his not doing a good job of “promoting his achievements.”
  • Lied that “Putin is ready to strike a deal” for peace with Ukraine, but that “the hold-up” was Ukrainian President Zelenskyy,
  • And falsely claimed that “his efforts [in Minnesota] had taken ‘thousands of murderers out of our country.”

Presumably, those are some of the examples of Trump’s “achievements” that would justify his canceling the election. Add to them his bombing of boats in the Caribbean; his razing part of the White House to build an elite ballroom; his persecution of political foes by his weaponized “Justice” Department; his sabotaging the Affordable Care Act, causing premiums to skyrocket; his dismantling government agencies that benefit millions of middle and low income citizens; his reversing gains made in mitigating the harm of climate change; and too many other atrocities to list.

So, yeah… Trump definitely wants to cancel the election. Because he knows that he and the GOP will be massacred. And he aint joking.

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to present some compelling opportunities for Democrats. In 2025 they enjoyed some strong victories across the nation in races that were predicted to be close. And in many other races where they fell short, they narrowed the margin significantly.

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Now most polls are showing that the Democratic Party is favored to win a majority in the House of Representatives. That advantage is the result of a combination of factors. First, Democrats have been taking the lead on the issues that matter most to the American people. And secondly, Republicans are saddled with Donald Trump, a mentally impaired megalomaniac who is only interested in himself.

While Democrats are working hard to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, and other expenses that folks encounter on a daily basis, Trump and his MAGA comrades are are squarely focused on building ballrooms, invading other countries (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Mexico, etc.), imposing inflationary tariffs, suppressing the Epstein files, and cutting government programs that help middle and lower income citizens, in order to enrich Trump and his wealthy benefactors.

That’s a political recipe for GOP disaster. But despite how bad that is as a strategy, Trump is going all in on it. On Tuesday morning Trump was asked about his vindictive and meritless persecution of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell. His response reveals just how devoted he is to – – – electing more Democrats?

Question: Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman [Jerome Powell] was a little excessive. What do you think?
Trump: Well, that is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer, I guess. Right?. But I like Thom Tillis. He’s a nice guy. But he’s not gonna be a senator any longer because of views like that.

Q: “Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman was a little excessive. What do you think?”Trump: “That is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer.”

Trump’s reaction to news that a Republicans senator considers the probe by Trump’s “Justice” Department to be only “a little excessive,” is to celebrate the end of that senator’s political career. Which Democrats will surely appreciate. Tillis represents the purple state of North Carolina that currently has a popular Democratic governor, Josh Stein. Tillis isn’t running for reelection this year, but former Democratic governor Roy Cooper is running for that seat, and holds a substantial lead over his likely GOP opponent.

Trump went on to demonstrate his ignorance of economics by stating that…

“We have a bad Fed chairman. He’s bad in a lot of different ways. But he’s bad because his interest rates are too high. And today we had a great inflation report. And today we had a really great growth report. So we have great growth and low inflation. And we’re doing very well.”

First of all, the Fed chair is just one vote on the Board, so he alone does not determine the interest rates. And true to form, Trump is lying about how great recent economic reports are. However, more to the point, Trump’s analysis that a strong economy warrants lowering of interests is the exact opposite of proper fiscal policy. Interest rates are generally only lowered to juice an economy that is troubled. Doing so with a strong economy is more likely to trigger inflation.

As for Trump’s political analysis, his embrace of losing this incumbent Republican senator is just the start of his strategic foolishness. He also came out against five other GOP senators who had the audacity to vote against his aspirations for unilateral tyranny over American war powers. He commented on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that…

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.”

Trump’s opinion that these Republicans “should never be elected to office again” will be welcomed by Democrats, who only need to net four seats in order to become the majority. Flipping these five seats, along with Tillis, would do that with a two seat cushion. So once again, the more that Trump talks, the better things get for Democrats.

More Republicans are starting to defy Trump. Several recently did so to pass bills to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and to reign in his military aggressions. We are reaching a tipping point where the GOP are becoming more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. And the result of that will be that he lashes out more at members of his own party out of pure spite. And Democrats will be the beneficiaries.

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.

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.
