Trump Brags (Lies) About His Low Rated, Lie-Riddled RNC Speech that Put His Audience to Sleep

Posted by on July 20, 2024 at 11:39 am. 3 Comments :

In the days preceding Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, the media generously regurgitated the GOP fairy tale that Trump would be rebranding himself as a uniter with a calm, rational approach to governing. Never mind that this is the umpteenth time that Trump was supposedly going to pivot to a new persona that is light years from anything he has shown for decades.

How the press justified spreading that malarkey is a mystery considering that Trump has never been anything but a divisive purveyor of rabid hostility and infantile insults aimed at anyone – Democratic or Republican – who was not sufficiently worshipful. His idea of unity means to unite behind his messianic eminence. It is not so much about bringing people together as it is about purging every dissenter.

When it came time for Trump to deliver his highly anticipated unification speech, he didn’t disappoint the critics who knew at the outset that he couldn’t pull off that sort of transformation. What he unleashed to the glassy-eyed cult disciples in the convention hall was a stream-of-consciousness harangue that went on for 96 minutes without ever providing a single policy proposal or affirmative vision for the future. It was nothing more than a rehash of his America-bashing rally rants, except spoken in a slower, more stodgy style.

So no one should be surprised that Trump was ecstatic about his own performance. He posted a couple of comments on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, exalting himself and lying about his reception by the public. He began by bragging about…

“Big TV RATINGS last night for the Republican Convention, the best and most successful in history! Fox led the way. MSNBC was dead last. Four Great Days!!!”

Fact Check: FALSE! The ratings for Trump’s speech were less than stellar. The first three nights of the MAGA-fest were not exactly barn burners. And while the final night’s tally was an improved 25.38 million viewers, that’s only 6% more than the COVID-hampered 4th night of the 2020 RNC convention. Even worse, it was about 20% lower than the 2016 affair.

Speaking of Fact checks, Trump was found to have lied more than twenty times during his speech.

The only plausible claim of historical success was that Fox News drew its highest number ever for a nomination acceptance speech. But it isn’t exactly news that Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda did well while airing their Dear Leader. Even so, more people watched on networks other than Fox.

What’s more, Trump’s viewership was likely lower than these numbers represent because he didn’t begin his marathon monologue (the longest ever at 96 minutes) until about 10:30 ET, and didn’t finish until after midnight. These ratings don’t detail any viewing after primetime, which ends at 11:00. And the audience generally declines as it gets later in the evening.

The other Trump comment on Truth Social was his expression of gratitude for the reception he received…

“Thank you to all for the great reviews of my speech last night. It was my great honor to make it!!! DJT”

As usual, Trump is wallowing in pool of narcissistic delusion. What follows are just a few of the reviews of Trump’s widely panned spiel…

  • Politico: “Trump Derailed His Own Convention Speech”
  • New York Times: “One of the Truly Awful and Self-Indulgent Performances of Our Time”
  • Mediaite: “Trump ‘Diehards’ at RNC Get ‘Restless’ as Subdued and Rambling Trump Speech Runs Over 90 Minutes”
  • Washington Post: “Donald Trump missed his chance with his convention speech”
  • Daily Beast: “Donald Trump’s RNC Speech Wasn’t Just Bad and Mad, it Was Boring”
  • Fox News: “Trump’s lengthy RNC speech ripped by ‘The View'”
  • The Hollywood Reporter: Donald Trump Returns to Bad Form — and Gives the Democrats Hope
  • Newsweek: “Donald Trump’s RNC Speech Appears to Send Attendees to Sleep”

Ironically, the musical coda to Trump’s speech was the aria “Nessun Dorma” from the final act of Puccini’s opera “Turandot.” The title translates from Italian to “No one sleeps.” If that was intended to be an order, they should have done it before Trump started talking.

For the record, Trump’s speech underperformed similar public addresses by President Biden, whose final night in 2020 drew 24.6 million viewers. That’s slightly less than than Trump’s, but it was delivered during a virtual convention due to COVID. More recently, Biden’s State of the Union address drew more than 32 million viewers earlier this year. The Biden/Trump debate had an audience of 51 million.

All in all, Trump’s ratings are nothing to brag about. But that doesn’t stop him from doing so. He is obsessed with numbers, whether it’s ratings, or net worth, or crowd size at his cult rallies. And he will lie profusely in order pump himself up. It’s the one thing we can rely on from Trump.

The Daily Show Hysterically Highlights the Hatred of Trump by Those Who Know Him Best

Posted by on July 19, 2024 at 1:25 pm. 1 Comments :

The 2024 Republican National Convention has officially wrapped with the certification of convicted felon Donald Trump as the Party’s presidential nominee. And few observers will dispute that it was everything that it promised top be: A festival of angry, racist, cult followers devoted to an aspiring authoritarian and make-believe messiah.

Donald Trump

Trump’s closing speech was notable for its interminable 90 minute length (the longest ever), it’s abundance of lies, its overt bigotry, and it’s extraordinary sedative effect. Convention delegates were seen nodding off or leaving early as the speech extended until past midnight without offering a single policy proposal or any solutions to real problems that the American people care about. And home viewers, the ones who stayed up, were similarly unimpressed…

SEE THIS: Trump’s MAGA RNC Convention Suffers Sharp Ratings Decline From Prior Years and Biden Speech

Instead, Trump spent an hour and half tearing down the country, denigrating the institutions that provide benefits to its citizens, and exalting himself with delusional portrayals of his term in office that is best remembered for COVID mortality, tax cuts for the rich, job losses, and hate speech.

Jordan Klepper of the The Daily Show was among those who noticed just how awful this convention was. He focused part of his monologue on the roster of speakers for the affair. But even more significant, were the people who were prominent in the Trump administration who didn’t bother to show up. And not because they were otherwise engaged. Klepper noted that…

“The campaign for president is basically one big job interview. The convention is where America checks the candidate’s references. And to be sure, there were plenty of people willing to vouch for Donald Trump. He’s got ex-cons, domestic abusers, fake wrestlers, fake friends, his children, people sleeping with his children, and of course, the esteemed mayor of Whoville.

“But if this is a job interview, it’s worth noting who we didn’t see: Most of the people that actually worked with him at the White House. And if American is gonna do our due diligence, we might as well call our references to hear what they have to say about him.”

Whereupon, Klepper played a montage of some of the top appointees in the Trump administration who are repulsed by him and regard him as a danger to democracy. For instance…

  • Mike Pence: Anyone who puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president.
  • Mark Esper (Secretary of Defense): I think he’s unfit for office.
  • John Bolton (National Security Adviser): Richard Nixon looks like a choir boy next to Donald Trump.
  • Ty Cobb (Trump attorney): The greatest threat to democracy that we’ve ever seen.
  • Mick Mulvaney (Chief of Staff): He failed at being the president when we needed him to be that.
  • Gen. Mark Milley (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff): A wannabe dictator.
  • Bill Barr (Attorney General): He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.
  • Gen. John Kelly (Chief of Staff): A person with nothing but contempt for for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
  • Gen. Jim Mattis (Secretary of Defense): The president has the understanding of a 5th or 6th grader.
  • Rex Tillerson (Secretary of State): He’s an F’ing moron!

These are not the criticisms of partisan Democrats. They are warnings from the people that Trump had chosen to staff his White House and Cabinet. They know him well and worked closely with him during the tumultuous times of Trump’s troubled tenure. And they are adamant that he not be returned to any position of authority.

Yet somehow, his glassy-eyed cult disciples remain transfixed. They are unmoved (or perhaps aroused) by his two impeachments, his 34 felony convictions, his 54 still pending felony charges, his judgement for nearly half a billion dollars for financial fraud, or his adjudication as a rapist. They aren’t worried about his explicit promise to be a “dictator on day one,” or his “Project 2025” handbook for fascism. Because, after all, his opponent, President Biden, is three years older than he is.

Equally as concerning as the list of people who despise Trump, are those who Trump admires. Along with the convention speakers (i.e. Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Peter Navarro, etc.), Trump bragged about having the support of Kim Jong Un and the Taliban during his speech. And with friends like that, who needs enemas?

Felonious Trump Says Uniting the Nation Means Giving Him the Freedom to Commit Crimes at Will

Posted by on July 15, 2024 at 2:56 pm. 2 Comments :

On the same day that the MAGA Republican National Convention began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a shamelessly biased judge in Florida dismissed the case against Donald Trump wherein he was charged with stealing classified documents, hoarding them at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel, and lying to the FBI about having them. It is a ruling that is steeped in the sort of sophistry that defines cult worship.

Donald Trump

Judge Aileen Cannon has been serving as Trump’s de facto lead defense counsel from the start of the trial. And now she has, in effect, unilaterally acquitted Dear Leader as his coronation to become the Republican nominee for president becomes official, and just 48 hours after he received the stigmata by having had his ear nicked by a crackpot’s bullet. Which, of course was all President Biden’s doing…

SEE THIS: MAGA World Blames Biden and Democrats for the Violence that Trump Has Incited for Years

America has never before suffered the indignity of a former, or gawd forbid future, president being charged with 88 felonies. And the genuflecting GOP isn’t the least bit ashamed of embracing a candidate who is a convicted felon, financial fraudster, and adjudicated rapist.

In this polluted political environment that Trump is accepting his clan’s consecration with the humility of a preening prima donna. On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump posted a comment intended to display a sympathetic side of him that is unexpected – that is rarely seen – that doesn’t exist. It was his attempt, in the wake of a shooting by a fellow Republican, to suppress his decades long reputation as a hate-mongering divider, and to portray himself anew as a saintly uniter. He wrote in his typically long-winded style that…

“As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia ‘Perfect’ Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again!”

Did you catch Trump’s call for harmony in that commentary? If not, it may be because it was it was wrapped in his obsession with himself. To Trump to “move forward in Uniting our Nation” has nothing to do with compassion for others, or moderating his insults and rage, or refraining from lies about his perceived enemies. Unity is solely a function of granting him immunity from any and all crimes he has committed or will commit in the future.

Even in this supposed petition for peace, Trump characterizes the well documented charges against him dishonestly as “Witch Hunts,” with dismissive and infantile nicknames for them all (“January 6th Hoax,” “Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case,” “New York A.G. Scam,” “Fake Claims about a woman I never met,” “Georgia ‘Perfect’ Phone Call”).

Trump then goes on to lie, saying that “The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks.” Actually, only one of the cases he listed was filed by a Justice Department prosecutor. The rest were all state cases that were not coordinated with the feds in any way. What he is really looking for is the absolution that he believes was granted by the Supreme Court’s ludicrous ruling that presidents are entitled to immunity for crimes that they actually commit.

SEE ALSO: Total Insanity: Trump Says the Supreme Court’s Immunity Decision is a ‘Total Exoneration’

Yet still Trump pretends to seek unity by asking “Let us come together to END all Weaponization.” Does that include the GOP Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, shutting down the phony inquisitions by Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan? You know, the ones who have been humiliating themselves in hearings that not only failed to turn up any evidence against Biden or his family, but their own witnesses actually cleared them of any wrongdoing.

Naturally, Trump’s plea to unite by ending all “weaponization” means only that which is directed at him. He still insists that the rabidly partisan Republicans in Congress continue to persecute Biden, his family, and his administration. They just tried, and failed, to have Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested for contempt of Congress because he refused to acquiesce to their…let’s say witch hunt to smear Biden.

That’s the true nature of Trump’s idea of unity. It doesn’t include finding common ground with Democrats. It has nothing to do with lowering the temperature after the shooting in Pennsylvania. It isn’t even about what benefits the Republican Party. As is evident in his Truth Social post, it is wholly built around whatever is in Trump’s personal best interest. Nothing else matters to him. Nothing. That’s it. Will voters – even Republicans – fall for it? We’ll see.

WARNING: Lara Trump Swears to Track Down and Prosecute Election Cheaters – Like Donald Trump?

Posted by on June 15, 2024 at 12:02 pm. 1 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump lost the presidential election in 2020, he has been obsessed with disseminating his “Big Lie” that there was massive voter fraud on a national scale that was successfully orchestrated by the evil genius, President Biden, who Trump says “can’t put two sentences together.”

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Never mind that Trump and his confederates went to court more than sixty times trying to prove their crackpot conspiracy theories, and they lost every case. That’s mainly because they were never able to present a shred of evidence of any fraud. He was so humiliated by the decisive defeat that he suffered, that he just can’t accept the fact that American voters soundly rejected him. And neither can his cult followers in Congress, the MAGA media, and what remains of the Republican Party base. That rests in stark contrast to the majority of the American people…

SEE THIS: LOCK HIM UP: After Guilty Verdicts, Poll Finds that More Americans Say Trump Should Go To Prison

Undeterred by reality, Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, persists in her family’s delusional disinformation campaign. Although her Sugardaddy-in-law installed her as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), she spends most of her time on Fox News, and other extremist propaganda outlets peddling flagrant falsehoods and gaslighting the gullible. To that end, Lara appeared with white nationalist provocateur, Charlie Kirk, to advance the lie that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen.” And in the process she delivered a sharp warning to aspiring ne’er-do-wells…

“I also want to send a loud and clear message out there to anyone who thinks about cheating in an election. If you cheat in an election, we will find you. We will track you down. We will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.”

Your hear that, you election cheaters? There is nowhere to run or hide from Lara the Law Giver. Let’s just set aside the fact that after four year she hasn’t tracked down a single case of election fraud by Biden or any other Democrat. And where she gets the idea that she has the authority to prosecute anyone is a mystery that will remain securely locked in her bleached blond head.

However, that doesn’t mean that there weren’t some cheaters that were discovered and brought to justice. And they were all Republicans. Which gives Lara’s warning new meaning. Was she threatening her own father-in-law, the MAGA ring leader, with prosecution? The list of those indicted also extends to some of Trump’s closest associates including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Rosen, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, and John Eastman. They had all better watch out because Lara is on the case now.

Ironically, Lara may have to prosecute herself. In the same event with Kirk, she proposed illegally buying votes. She told the audience that “take everyday up until Election Day taking somebody to vote. Drive them in your car if you have to. Buy them a sandwich if you have to after.”

You would think that the chair of the RNC would know that enticing people to vote with money or other gifts is against the law. It is, in fact, cheating. So while she isn’t personally buying the sandwiches (so far as we know), she is suborning a crime by encouraging others to do so.

All of this should make Lara’s promise to track down and prosecute election cheaters a lot easier. She doesn’t even have to leave Mar-a-Lago. She can find most of the cheaters there, including herself and and the already convicted felon, Don the Con. And if she tells what she knows to Attorney General Merrick Garland, we can get some of these prosecutions going.

Trump Horribly Bungles His ‘Horrible City’ Swipe at Milwaukee with Help from a Fox News Flunky

Posted by on June 14, 2024 at 1:05 pm. 1 Comments :

It is universally agreed that Donald Trump has always run an unconventional campaign for the White House. He never engages in any of the customary meet and greets with prospective voters, or base building efforts to attract new supporters.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Fox News

Trump prefers instead to hold cult rallies where he keeps his distance from the unclean masses that worship their Dear Leader, or consorts with the upper-crusters from whom he wrangles millions of dollars in bribes…er…donations that are spent mostly on his legal fees and billion dollar judgments. And heaven forbid he ever pass any of those funds on to his GOP confederates, from whom he demands unflinching loyalty that is never reciprocated.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Lara Trump Tells ‘Anyone Who is Not On Board with Donald Trump’ to Leave the GOP

Consistent with his unconventional style, Trump has added a new tool to his campaign bag of tricks. In a private meeting with congressional Republicans, Trump expressed his visceral distaste for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the city that will be hosting the Republican National Convention where next month, barring any unforeseen liberation from the grip of Felonious Punk, he will officially be nominated as the GOP’s candidate for president. Trump didn’t mince words, calling Milwaukee a “horrible city.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has observed Trump over the past few years. He frequently maligns America as a “failed nation” that is overrun by communists, criminals, and “corrupt radicals and thugs” who are determined to destroy the country and, more importantly from his perverse perspective, him. So why should Milwaukee get a reprieve?

As usual, Trump’s true feelings were recognized as repulsive and damaging by his pals in the press and political realm. They immediately set about to deny that any such insult was uttered. But true to form, Trump was too dense to realize himself that he might have been capable of making a mistake. So when Aishah Hasnie, a Fox News “reporter,” attempted to provide him an escape path, Trump flubbed it and ended up admitting that he made the grotesque comments.

Hasnie: Democrats are also hitting you on this comment that you made about Milwaukee, the host city for the RNC. And they seem to believe that you said that it was a horrible city. Can you just nip this in the bud and clarify what you meant?
Trump: It was very clear what I meant. I said, we’re very concerned with crime.

Note the Fox News Trump-fluffer’s characterization of the problem. She portrayed it as merely something that Democrats “believe that [Trump] said.” Never mind that it was exclusively Republicans who attended the meeting where Trump made the remarks. So it had to have been a Republican who leaked it to the press. Note also that the Foxie did not simply seek a comment from Trump, but she framed it as an opportunity for him to “nip this in the bud.” The Fox shill was virtually holding Trump’s hand to lead him to absolution. But Trump shook it loose and gave his own answer that served as a confession.

“I love Milwaukee, I have great friends in Milwaukee, but it’s as you know, the crime numbers are terrible. We have to be very careful. But I was referring to also the election, the ballots, the way it went down, it was very bad in Milwaukee. Very, very bad. And the people understand that and they agree with me. Everybody agrees. No, that was a fake story that came out.”

Did you catch the rosy chyron in that video clip editorializing that “TRUMP LOVES MILWAUKEE.” Yeah, right! More to the point, Trump does not deny that he made the disparaging remarks about Milwaukee. He just tries to pretend that he was talking about something else. But even in that attempt, he struggles with his own feeble excuse. He rambles first about the comment having something to do with crime. But then he quickly swerves to claim instead that it was related to imaginary allegations of election fraud. And as always, in Trump’s decaying cranium, “everybody agrees” with him about everything all the time.

For the record, crime in Milwaukee has been on a steep decline during President Biden’s term in office, and while both the city and the state are run by Democrats. And those facts were actually reported by the Fox News affiliate in Milwaukee.

“With the first quarter review, Milwaukee police say homicides have decreased 39% – down to 23 from 38 this time in 2023. Property crime is down 11%. Auto thefts are down 10% – down to 1,295 from 1,431 this time in 2023.”

Undeterred by reality, Fox News continues to gaslight their glassy-eyed audience. For instance, Sean Hannity asked GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, (a completely impartial source) about the Milwaukee maligning…

Hannity: Can we just settle one thing once and for all here? President Trump, it’s been attributed to him that he took a shot at Milwaukee. did he do that?
Johnson: No. I didn’t hear it and I was sitting right next to him.

Well then. That settles it. Johnson is either acutely hard of hearing, or is outright lying. Because he is disagreeing with Trump as to whether or not he said it. Perhaps Johnson is accusing Trump of lying. Hannity never bothered to mention what Trump said to his Fox News colleague above. Considering how long Fox News has been in the deception business, it’s astonishing how bad they are it.

UPDATE: Trump is now lying (again) that he never said Milwaukee is a “horrible city,” even though he previously admitted that he said it. Now he’s saying that “They lie and they make up a story that I said something bad about Milwaukee. […] I just ask you this, who would do that? Who would say something bad about a place that you want to win?” Trump, of course, frequently says terrible things about many cities, and repeatedly disparages the whole country as a “failing” “banana republic.”

GO FOR IT! The RNC is Considering Barring NBC From Covering the Republican National Convention

Posted by on March 29, 2024 at 1:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The recent kerfuffle over NBC’s hiring – and firing – of former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, Ronna McDaniel, is continuing to make waves in the partisan political pool. While McDaniel’s dumping had more to do with her being an unprincipled purveyor of lies and a Trump fake elector co-conspirator, than a voice for conservatives, the right-wing media and MAGA minions were outraged and inconsolable.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, GOP

Commentators of Fox News chastised NBC as an ideologically slanted network that shut out any views contrary to what Fox regarded as their political biases. Which, coming from the virulently one-sided right-wingers on Fox, was laughably absurd. However, McDaniel’s first scheduled appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” began a stream of blowback from both liberals and conservatives at NBC and MSNBC that was furious and virtually unanimous.

SEE THIS: Ronna McDaniel’s Debut on NBC’s Meet the Press is an Unmitigated Disaster For Both NBC and Her

In the wake of that storm, Republicans remain angry and determined to get revenge. Although their methods of achieving that goal are typically ridiculous and not especially well thought out. Politico is reporting that…

“The Republican National Committee is weighing whether to restrict NBC’s access to this summer’s convention, following the network’s decision to drop former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor. Such a move would mark a dramatic escalation in the growing rift between Donald Trump-allies and the TV network.” […]

“‘We are taking a hard look at what this means for NBC’s participation at the convention,’ said Danielle Alvarez, a spokesperson for the RNC and the Trump campaign. ‘Our priority is making sure this is a world class event that allows President Trump to feature his message and vision in a fair way.'”

This is great news. If the RNC, now co-chaired by Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, bars NBC from covering their Trump-a-Thon it would mean that Trump and his MAGA cult disciples would get far less exposure on national television. In fact, the RNC should ban ABC, CBS, and CNN as well. After all, aren’t they all “fake” news?

Fox News could have an exclusive on the Republican National Convention. What better way for them to ensure that the coverage is “fair” in their eyes? Even better, they could offer it as a four day “Orange Man Festival” on their Fox Nation streaming service for $49.95, complete with crackpots in crazy costumes, elaborate booths selling Trump-endorsed bibles and tacky gold sneakers, and a giant golden idol to set ablaze during Trump’s acceptance speech. Just think of how much more money they could earn to pay off Trump’s attorneys.

No should be surprised, however, to learn that the RNC’s idea to bar NBC is just another demonstration of their ignorance and incompetence. That’s because it is likely not within their authority to do so. Politico also reported that…

“…congressional press gallery officials, not the RNC, run the credentialing process for access to the convention hall.”

The only recourse that the RNC might have would be to restrict access to the transportation and hotel rooms it is reserving. It’s fair to assume that NBC could easily overcome those obstacles.

In the end, this just reaffirms that the RNC is a joke that has no idea what they are doing. They don’t even comprehend that they are seeking to punish NBC for firing McDaniel, which is exactly what the RNC itself had done a couple of weeks prior. And that could be why they are badly trailing the Biden campaign’s efforts in fundraising and organizing. Expect more of the same to follow.

TOTALLY AGREE… With the RNC Chair Who Says ‘We Are Better Off Today’ than Four Years Ago

Posted by on March 15, 2024 at 2:12 pm. 0 Comments :

Forty four years ago Ronald Reagan asked a question that has become a staple of every presidential election that has followed. During a debate with President Jimmy Carter, Reagan asked “Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?” It was really a rather simplistic question that didn’t get to the heart of any specific issue. But it was an effective rhetorical worm that borrowed into the minds of voters.

Joe Biden, GOP, Elephant

Ever since, American voters have been asked to make the same comparison. And the 2024 presidential election is no exception. However, it does make a huge difference who is asking this question now. President Biden has presided over a booming economy, unprecedented job creation, and a legislative agenda that includes progress on climate and the environment, healthcare, gun reforms, tax equity, infrastructure, manufacturing, and more. It’s a record that Republicans are having a hard time criticizing…

SEE THIS: President Biden Trolls Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Hysterically Lame Swipe at Democratic Successes

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been spending his days in court defending himself against dozens of civil and criminal charges, including election interference, inciting an insurrection and rape. And that will continue to dominate his time through November and beyond.

Which makes it difficult for the GOP to ask the “better off” question now. But that hasn’t stopped them from doing so. The latest Republican to venture down this path is the newly installed co-chair (along with Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump) of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Michael Whatley. He appeared on Fox News and asked that question. But the answer he provided was a bit of surprise…

“At the end of the day, this comes down to a very simple contrast between President Trump and President Biden. Were you better off four years ago than you are today? The answer for this entire country is no. I mean yes. We are better off today.”

That’s right. Whatley’s first stab at the answer was to say that, no, we were not better off four years ago during the Trump administration. Then when he tried to clean up his gaffe, he made it worse by saying that, yes, we are better off today. It’s hard to argue with him. But it’s par for the course for the new RNC leadership that is doing more to help Democrats than Republicans.

SEE ALSO: IT’S A CULT! Lara Trump Tells ‘Anyone Who is Not On Board with Donald Trump’ to Leave the GOP

What’s more, in the past few days this question has been asked by everyone in the Trump cult, from Lara Trump to Sean Hannity, who insisted that Democrats “cannot run on ‘are you better off than you were four years ago.'”

Really? For the record, four years ago thousands of Americans were dying every day from a virus that Trump mismanaged through neglect and/or ignorance; the stock market had crashed; jobs were eliminated as companies closed; and you couldn’t buy toilet paper. He also added eight trillion dollars to the deficit, embraced foreign dictators, alienated allies, and appointed ultra-rightist judges that who reversed Roe v Wade and generally ruled in favor of wealthy elitists and corporations. All the while, Trump cast himself in the starring role of a daily reality TV show where he upstaged the experts and lied that “a lot of good things are gonna happen.”

Actually, Trump was right, just a little early. Because, as for whether we are better off than four years ago, well…a lot of good things did happen – after President Biden took over. For instance…

UM, OK! Trump Challenges Biden to Debate ‘Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace,’ Even If Run By the DNC

Posted by on March 7, 2024 at 12:26 pm. 5 Comments :

In the wake of the Super Tuesday primaries, Trump was pleased to learn that his only remaining Republican opponent for the GOP presidential nomination, Nikki Haley, decided to call it quits and suspended her campaign. Naturally, Trump’s response to that was to lash out Haley and condemn her for daring to challenge his divine sovereignty.

Donald Trump, Joe Biden

To anyone giving more than a superficial glance at the results of Super Tuesday’s races, they would have noticed the cratering weakness in Trump’s campaign. Particularly when compared to President Biden, who managed to win his primaries without resorting to infantile name-calling, flagrant lies, and desperate smears.

Now that Trump is no longer distracted by that infernal, incompetent woman (who he had appointed as Ambassador to the United Nations), he is free to reset his focus on his arch enemy, Sleepy and/or Crooked, Joe Biden. It’s puzzling how Trump regards Biden as both a senile communist, and a criminal mastermind. In either case, Trump is now challenging whichever Biden resides in his warped mind to a debates ahead of the general election. He wrote on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, that…

“It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The first notable part of Trump’s comment is his consent to meet Biden both “anyplace,” and also “anywhere.” Presumably he would also approve of meeting “wherever,” and “at some location” or “destination.” What’s surprising is that Trump will only agree to meet at “anytime,” but not “whenever.”

Setting aside Trump’s disturbingly repetitious mental malfunctioning, it is generous of him to extend this debate invitation to be conducted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Biden should immediately take him up on that offer and have the DNC produce the debate. Then sit back and watch Trump spin furiously to renege on the invitation and insist that he never made it. Or he could use his old standby excuse for his frequent flubs: He was joking. He’s such a card.

Trump’s concession to consider participating in a debate run by the CPD is a blatant contradiction of the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) already announced boycott of the organization that has been putting on these debates for thirty years. The RNC made that declaration two years ago:

SEE THIS: Cowardly Republican Party to Require Their Presidential Candidates to Boycott 2024 Debates

The RNC issued their rejection of the Commission because it wouldn’t submit to their demands, including determining the composition of its members, dictating the dates of the debates, and intervening in the selection of debate moderators. In other words, they wanted to exert the kind of partisan control that Trump demands before participating in any public event. Trump has demonstrated that he cannot face any encounter that isn’t rigged to his advantage. It’s why he won’t submit to any interviews that aren’t conducted by his pals at Fox News or other similarly servile sycophants.

Never mind that Trump has spent years maligning President Biden as mentally unfit, it is the GOP that appears to be concerned about their own candidate’s ability to face off in an open forum. But if Trump were to comply with his new challenge, he would have to revoke the RNC’s boycott. Which he could surely arrange since he recently announced that he’s putting his daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, at the helm of the RNC. And she is already getting to work banishing anyone who isn’t unflinchingly loyal to Trump from the party.

So let’s set up these debates with the DNC. And let’s get Rachel Maddow (MSNBC), Jessica Tarlov (Fox News), and Jon Stewart (Comedy Central) to moderate them. Then watch Trump’s head explode. In the meantime, Trump is prepping for his encounter with Biden by outlining what he believes are the “Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People.” And if you weren’t already nauseated enough, don’t watch this video…

IT’S A CULT! Lara Trump Tells ‘Anyone Who is Not On Board with Donald Trump’ to Leave the GOP

Posted by on March 5, 2024 at 1:15 pm. 1 Comments :

Just in case anyone was wondering who is in control of the Republican Party, the former reality TV game show host, and aspiring authoritarian dictator, Donald Trump, is making it abundantly clear that he is the divinely anointed master and all others must bend down and kiss his – let’s say ring.

Donald Trump, QAnon, Dictator

As evidence of Trump’s commandeering of the GOP (Groveling Obedient Peons), he has proposed to put his daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, at the helm of the Republican National Committee (RNC). From there she can allocate the funds it receives in donations from corporations, wealthy benefactors, and brainwashed simpletons, to paying for her Sugardaddy-in-law’s lawyers and traveling salvation shows. In fact, that’s precisely what she promised to do…

Never mind that the RNC is supposed to be a neutral enterprise that advances the prospects of all GOP candidates. In the Era of Trump there is only one mission. and that is to venerate Dear Leader Trump above everything and everyone else. Affirming that objective, Sister Lara appeared on the Trump-fluffing “news” website, “Real America’s Voice,” to declare that…

“I can assure you that there will be no funny business. Anyone who is not on board with seeing Donald Trump as the 47th president, and America-loving patriots all the way down the ticket being supported by the RNC, is welcome to leave. Because we are not playing games, and we have no time to waste. So we have to insure that every single penny of every dollar donated goes to the causes people care about.”

And make no mistake. In Trumpism the “causes that people care about” are all focused on exalting Trump. In other words, believe or be banished. No independent thought or fealty to heretics is permitted in the New Republican Ministry. That sort of disloyalty will be severely punished, and all apostates will be cast out. Rev. Trump said himself that any supporter of Nikki Haley will be permanently banned from the realm of MAGA.

Sister Lara went on to pitch herself for the leadership of the RNC, citing as her qualifications that “There is no one more loyal to Donald Trump.” It is in that spirit of compulsory devotion that Rev. Trump declared that the Republican Party has never been more united. He said that right after the first few GOP primaries where he lost 40% of his own party’s vote. And republicans in Congress are such a disjointed mess that they’ve gone through two Speakers and secured a modern record low for legislative productivity.

But never fear, MAGA-naughts. The 2024 election is the bag for Trump. It is such an assured inevitability that Trump told his cult followers that he doesn’t even need their votes. So Trump supporters can just skip the whole election and go to the monster truck show instead. That’s a message that everyone – including Democrats – can get behind. See? Trump is uniting the country.

Grifter Girl Lara Trump Says When She is RNC Chair ‘Every Single Penny Will Go to Donald Trump’

Posted by on February 14, 2024 at 12:56 pm. 2 Comments :

The corruption and self-dealing of the Trump family has been well documented over many years (decades). And their brazen disrespect for the law has been proven in numerous court judgments, including the ones that resulted in multimillion dollar penalties and shuttered Donald Trump’s fake university and his phony charity.

However, in the past seven years Trump has turned his grifting operation to politics, raising millions of dollars from billionaires seeking favors from government, extorting funds from foreign countries, and fleecing his deluded MAGA disciples.

SEE THIS: GRIFTER EXPOSED: Trump Campaign Scam Defrauds Hundreds of His Supporters

Expanding that criminal outreach into political scams, Trump is now proposing that his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump (Eric’s girl), be made co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). She would serve along side devoted Trump flunky and election denier, Michael Whatley, and Trump’s campaign manager Chris LaCivita. The elevation of that trio of toadies to run the RNC is further evidence that the party has devolved into a true cult that is blindly obedient to the will of its Dear Leader.

Lara Trump has zero experience in managing an electoral organization. So putting her in charge of the RNC in this profoundly significant election year is something that should be extraordinarily helpful – to Democrats. And she has already demonstrated how much help her leadership will be in a recent interview on Newsmax, the network that employed her as a guest host and contributor after her termination from Fox News. She told her colleague Rob Schmitt that…

“If I am elected to this position I can assure you there will not be any more $70,000 – or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was – spent on flowers. Every single penny will go to the number one, and the only job of the RNC. That is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States.”

The rest of the Republican candidates for office must be happy to hear that. The RNC is supposed to be a neutral enterprise that advances the prospects of all GOP candidates. But in the Era of Trump “the only job of the RNC [is] is electing Donald J. Trump.” For some reason Lara’s allegedly billionaire Sugardaddy-in-Law doesn’t think that he has enough money, or access to donors, to finance his own campaign. And that may be true because Trump has had to spend millions of his donors dollars on his legal fees and incompetent lawyers.

So now Trump has to appropriate all of the donations made to the RNC that were intended to benefit the party nationally. And even that may not be enough, considering that the Party’s current leadership under chair Ronna McDaniel has been so inept that the party has little to show for it’s efforts. They have raised record low amounts in the past year and have far less available cash on hand than their Democratic opponents.

But not to worry. With Trump’s daughter-in-law at the helm of the RNC, there will be no more wasteful expenditures on things like flowers. Now it will just be lawyers, Trump rallies, golfing, and portraits of Trump. Plus they will be able to introduce the tactics that Trump has used for decades to fill his pockets.
