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

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

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ted Cruz Tries to Smear Democrats for the ‘Most Egregious Gerrymanders’ but Fails Egregiously

Posted by on August 21, 2025 at 2:28 pm. 0 Comments :

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been engaged in a fierce battle with Republicans who are plotting to steal the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. The GOP is scheming to rig the elections by imposing an unprecedented and unconstitutional mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Donald Trump.

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

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

To counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off. In response to Newsom’s efforts, Republicans have tried to justify their election rigging by accusing Democrats of what the GOP is doing. It’s a wholly disingenuous argument coming from the people who started this redistricting war.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Among the Republicans who are trying to blame Democrats for the current political posturing is Texas senator Ted Cruz, who has made political posturing an art form. He posted a question on Twitter/X for Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, asking it to “Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders.” Grok replied that it was both parties with Democrats being three out of the five…

That response didn’t really affirm that Democrats were more nefarious gerrymanderers, as Cruz had hoped. But neither was it a vindication of either party. So it seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list beyond merely five states. And that produced a very different result…

The longer list shows that Republicans were the most egregious gerrymanderers in seven out of the top ten states. So Cruz was either deliberately distorting the results by limiting his question to five states, or he simply didn’t care to get a broader, more accurate view.

That’s typical of the modern, MAGA-infested Republican Party. They are purposefully seeking to deceive voters because they know that the truth will reflect badly on them. As Stephen Colbert once observed, “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

This was confirmed last night by Fox News hack Sean Hannity, who complained about Newsom “spen[ding] the last several weeks bashing president Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more.” Hannity pretended to be concerned about whether this was helping or hurting Democrats. He concluded that it was hurting Newsom, despite polls showing Newsom’s approval rating surging since he began his redistricting fight and his hilarious, all-caps mockery of Trump’s Truth Social posts.

For good measure, Hannity also offered up his opinion of Newsom’s recent, more aggressive politicking. He criticized Newsom saying that his “performative confrontational style—maybe it wins you points with the loony radical base in your party but America is not going to vote for that record.” Does that description sound like anyone else you know?

The Trump Regime’s Post-Iran Bombing Propaganda Party is a Sputtering Dud

Posted by on June 22, 2025 at 3:06 pm. 0 Comments :

The morning after Donald Trump ordered a bombing raid on Iran, his political troops on the domestic front fanned out to declare war on the truth, and the trust of the American people, with a campaign of propaganda to justify his unconstitutional commencement of yet another war in the Middle East that the American people oppose.

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

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Concerned that the world wasn’t already suffering sufficient measures of tumult, Trump concluded that it was time to manufacture a new catastrophe to take some of the heat off of those he has already presided over in the first five months of his re-occupation of the White House. Particularly considering that his approval rating has been in free fall since his inauguration.

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Consequently, Trump set his focus on glorifying himself As America’s War-Monger-in-Chief. Did he seek to confer with his political colleagues in Congress, or with America’s international allies? Apparently not. It appears that among the first things he did was to place a call to his shadow Chief of Staff, Sean Hannity of Fox News. Just an hour after he announced the mission to Iran, Trump was divulging details of his Iranian adventure to Hannity. Which is especially notable because he hadn’t even alerted members of the congressional Gang of Eight prior to the attack. Well, at least not the Democratic members.

An hour after Trump launched his illegal war against Iran, he was talking to – Sean Hannity of Fox News?Also, Trump told GOP members of the congressional Gang of 8 prior to the attack, but not the Democratic members. He is politicizing war! #ImpeachTrumpNOW www.mediaite.com/media/tv/i-j…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T10:17:19.132Z

Trump also dispatched his Vice-President, JD Vance, to tell the press that the situation in Iran was so awful because of the “dumb presidents” in office for the past 25 years. Who wants to tell him that that includes his boss, Donald Trump, who was the one who was dumb enough to cancel the U.S. agreement with Iran that prohibited them from developing nuclear weapons, and mandated regular inspections?

JD Vance: "Trump's war in the Middle East is different than in the past 25 years because "back then we had dumb presidents."You mean like Trump, who was president 4 of those years? And of the 3 other presidents during that time – Bush, Obama, Biden – Trump is unquestionably the dumbest.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T17:09:41.226Z

Also called up for duty was Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine. He promptly contradicted Trump’s glowing characterization of the success of the mission as having “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Gen. Caine had a different view of the Battle Damage Assessment (BDA).

Trump himself made time to post some comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, complimenting himself and chastising his foes. For instance, after claiming that he was enjoying “Great unity in the Republican Party,” he posted a long, rambling diatribe attacking fellow Republican Thomas Massie, saying that he is…

“…not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes ‘NO,’ no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded ‘grandstander.’ […] MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!”

Which is peculiar considering that when Massie was up for reelection Trump gushed that he was “a ‘Conservative Warrior’ and a ‘first-rate Defender of the Constitution,’ who has ‘my complete and total endorsement.'” Trump likely changed his opinion after Massie expressed his opposition to both Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” and the Iran bombing that he correctly said was unconstitutional. And Massie was not alone among the allegedly united GOP>

All of this is going on as Trump is swirling in a death spiral of unpopularity. Just prior to his Iran action, news reports revealed that his polling has sunk to new depths. As Newsweek reported, “Donald Trump’s approval rating is underwater in 15 states he won in 2024, including all seven swing states.”

“In key battlegrounds such as Michigan (-11), Nevada (-12), North Carolina (-8), Wisconsin (-13), Arizona (-12), Pennsylvania (-12), and Georgia (-6), Trump’s net approval rating—the percentage of voters who approve of him minus those who disapprove—is firmly negative.” […]

“Beyond the swing states, Trump is also underwater in other states he carried in 2024, including Texas (-8), Ohio (-6), and Utah (-5). Trump’s net approval ratings are also slightly negative in Missouri (-2), Indiana (-3), Florida (-3), Kansas (-4), and Iowa (-4). This means that in 15 states Trump carried in 2024, his net approval rating now stands below zero.”

Gee…Do you think this might have had anything to do with Trump’s decision to bomb Iran? Do you think he knows anything about wagging the dog?

Trump Marks His First 100 Days By Glorifying Why Most Americans See Him as ‘A Dangerous Dictator’

Posted by on April 29, 2025 at 1:47 pm. 2 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been evident since he first crawled out of the slime of his reality TV swamp, seeking to bail out his failing business empire. His ability to sustain the myth of his success was ironically aided and abetted by the media that he maligns as “the enemy of the people.”

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

As we arrive at the completion of Trump’s first 100 days of his second occupation of the White House, it is more obvious than ever that he is determined to be canonized as the messiah of his MAGA movement in order to ordain himself as America’s first dictator. Even his press secretary explicitly characterizes the devotion that she expects the Trump cult members to display…

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches to ‘Trust in Trump’ to Bring Economic Salvation

For his part, Trump sought to memorialize his 100 day anniversary in a manner that is typical of someone suffering from a severe case of malignant narcissism. It’s typical in that it exposes how deeply he has descended into an acute egomaniacal stupor. But it’s also typical in that it is deeply delusional. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, he linked to an article by GOP Sen. Roger Marshall for what he considers to be his accomplishments thus far…

“In just 100 days, we have witnessed one of the most productive presidential administrations in modern history. Trump has already signed more than 140 executive orders, issued more than 40 proclamations, and authored more than 30 memorandums—far surpassing the number of actions many presidents have taken throughout their entire administrations.”

Contrary to Trump’s gushing self-pride for what he regards a “productive presidential administration,” everything in that comment is more representative of the behavior of an unabashed tyrant. American leadership is not graded on how many unilateral actions are taken by a wannabe despot with overt animosity toward democracy. Bypassing the legislative and judicial branches of government is ordinarily done on a limited basis when required by unique circumstances. But Trump is using executive orders, and other instruments of power, to exert his own will, not that of the people.

The Newsweek op-ed by Marshall that Trump linked to was replete with more ridiculously reverential rhetoric. Marshall went on to say that…

“Despite relentless criticism from the mainstream media, radical judges blocking the president’s actions, and Democrats in disarray, the American people stand strongly behind the president’s America first vision.”

Marshall, of course, is lying. In fact, Trump has the worst approval ratings of any president in more than 80 years at this point in their term. Even worse, a poll by PRRI found that “Most Americans see Trump as a dangerous dictator.” That includes a majority overall, a majority of Independents, and even 17% of Republicans. Some may believe that those numbers are still too low, but this is just the beginning.

What’s more, one of Fox News’ most reliable Trump-fluffers, Mark Levin, seems to agree that Trump is an aspiring dictator. He told his viewers that…

“He is routinely violating separation of powers, which goes to the heart of our system. He’s ruling our country by executive orders, administration regulations in order to defy Congress and get around Congress. That is, he’s lawmaking, which is a clear violation of the Constitution.”

Actually, Levin said that on May 19, 2024. And he was talking about President Biden who signed only 42 executive orders in his first 100 days. And Trump posted a link to that clip of Levin on Truth Social. So he must have been aware of it because, as he says himself, he has “one of the best memories in the world.”

Finally, Trump’s shadow chief-of-staff, Sean Hannity, also devoted some time to heralding Trump’s “accomplishments” in his first 100 days. However, they don’t seem to include anything that actually benefits the nation or its people. Unless you regard renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or ending federal support for paper straws, as major achievements to move America forward. Well, do you?

WOW! Take a look at all of Trump's "accomplishments" as celebrated by Sean Hannity on Fox News.Is this what they think the American people want and need?

SIGNALGATE: How Fox News Fouled Up the War Planning Chat Scandal Was More Cover-Up than Coverage

Posted by on March 25, 2025 at 2:05 pm. 1 Comments :

This week the nation was alerted to what may be one of the most serious breaches of national security in modern times. The most senior members of the United States government, including the Vice-President, JD Vance, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, the Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, and others, were caught discussing military attack planning on a commercial chat program.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Under ordinary circumstance, this would be the story of the year. And many news organizations treated it as such. However, a conspicuous standout among those that didn’t was, of course, Fox News. The network that was forced to pay a settlement of more than 3/4 of a billion dollars because they repeatedly lied to support Donald Trump’s wholly unsupported allegations of election fraud, has not learned any lessons from that humiliating display of dishonesty and political propaganda. To the contrary, they continue to back a president who seeks to muzzle the free press.

SEE THIS: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

Consequently, it should surprise no one that Fox New is fulfilling its mission as Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda with regard to what is becoming known as “SignalGate,” after the messaging app on which the Trump staffers were leaking classified information.

For the most part, Fox News and other MAGA media has soft-pedalled the story, ignoring the glaring national security disclosures and the gross violation of law. Instead, they focused their “reporting” on the detail of how a journalist – The Atlantic’s editor, Jeffrey Goldberg – was included in the chat, and on insulting Goldberg. While allowing a reporter into such a sensitive discussion is a serious breach of protocol, the bigger problem is that all of them where having that discussion on a commercial chat program in the first place.

Some of the worst offenders were among the usual suspects on Fox News. They included…

Jesse Watters, who called it “a wee bit of a security breach”: “Did you ever try to start a group text? You’re adding people and you accidentally add the wrong person? All of a sudden your Aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party? Well, that kind of happened today with the Trump administration. […] Well, national security advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added a reporter to the group text and not a good reporter. Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic, one of the biggest hoax artists around.”

Yeah, who hasn’t inadvertently added reporters to a top secret chat on military planning? It’s just like letting your Aunt Mary in on bachelor party plans. Also, Watters lashes out blindly at the widely respected reporter, Goldberg, who handled this story with the high degree of integrity that he’s known for. And then there was…

Sean Hannity, who dismisses it as “phony outrage…that nobody will care about.”: “They are obsessed with an accidentally leaked text, a chain from Trump cabinet officials who are debating the merits of military strikes in Yemen. So the very people that covered up their president’s severe cognitive decline, lied about wide open borders – both of which are clear and present dangers to our country – now want you to believe that they actually give a damn and care about national security.”

Notice that all Hannity has is his tired smears of President Biden that have nothing to do with this. And he thinks that potentially exposing military secrets to America’s enemies is nothing to be concerned about, and that Americans won’t care about it. Because if Hannity doesn’t care, no one else will? And there was…

Will Cain, who at least concedes that this breach “is incredibly concerning,” but goes on to say that: “If you look at the actual content of what was reported, if you look how they discuss potential strikes on Houthis in Yemen, what you will see is…a very collaborative, open, honest, team-based attempt to come to the right decision. After years of secrecy and incompetence, if you read the content of these messages, I think you’ll come away proud that these are the leaders making these decisions in America.

Of course. We should all be proud that these “leaders” unnecessarily risked national security, and the lives of American soldiers, and intelligence sources and methods, on a chat app that they all knew was not secure. This reaches peak absurdity with Cain bragging about “what you will see,” when we should not be seeing any of this. And then there was…

Donald Trump, who typically doesn’t know anything: “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. I think it’s not much of a magazine. But I know nothing about it. […] You’re telling me about it for the first time.”

If Trump is telling the truth (doubtful), he is in effect admitting that he is an ignorant boob who is out of the loop. What’s more, he’s implying that his team are keeping secrets from him. These chats took place a couple of weeks ago. The participants all knew what they were up to, and likely knew when Goldberg removed himself from the group. So why didn’t any of them tell him about it? More likely Trump knew and is lying in order to set up the eventual scapegoat.

This is what you get when you fill your Cabinet with utterly unqualified asskissers who were inevitably going to screw up. Did anyone expect better behavior from the likes of Pete Hegseth, who is himself a refugee from Fox News with no relevant experience to run an institution like the Pentagon? And they have only just begun. Trump has only been in office for two months. What will the next 46 months look like, if he makes it that far?

For now, we will have to put up with his incompetence that is manifesting itself in the most nauseating way. His only response to this scandal on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, was to post a pitifully dumb joke about it (via his co-president, Elon Musk) that didn’t even bother to deny the truth of The Atlantic’s reporting, only offering his addled opinion that no one reads The Atlantic…

Here is Trump's only response on Truth Social to The Atlantic exposé that JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, and others, revealed war plans on a commercial chat program.He makes a joke about it. And not that it isn't true, but that no one reads The Atlantic.

Trump Bashes the Media as ‘The Enemy’ While Being Fluffed on Fox News By Sean Hannity

Posted by on February 19, 2025 at 1:35 pm. 1 Comments :

It remains an enduring mystery why so many of the flock who follow Donald Trump regard him as courageous. It could not be more evident that he is a whimpering wimp who relies on volume and verbal bullying to manufacture an image of fortitude that 100% fictional. Just like the character he played on “The Apprentice,” Trump is as fake as his combover and spray tan.

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

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump’s cowardice is also confirmed by his fear of interacting with any media that hasn’t been pre-approved as MAGA-friendly, and whose practitioners aren’t avowed Trump cult disciples. Not only does Trump avoid outside associations with non-MAGA media, he has also populated his administration with personnel that he recruited from Fox News.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

Which explains why Trump just did yet another interview with the Senior Trump-Fluffer on Fox News, Sean Hannity. On Tuesday night Hannity aired the interview that Trump did in tandem with his co-president, Elon Musk, to whom he seems to have delegated most of his presidential duties. Musk also appears to have replaced Trump’s other partners, JD Vance and Melania.

The interview was just as cringeworthy an episode as you might imagine. The three of them were grossly enthralled with each other to the point of being unable to control their drooling. In the first minute of the interview Musk gushed that “I love the president.” But their mutual admiration was matched by their animosity toward the free press. And that was never more obvious than when Trump went off on all of the non-Fox media that he despises so much…

Trump: The media is so bad. When I watch MSNBC, which I don’t watch much, but you have to watch the enemy on occasion, the level of arrogance and cheating, they’re just horrible people. They lie. These are horrible people
Hannity: They tell lies.
Musk: They tell conspiracy theories.
Trump: And they start up with the Constitution. They couldn’t care less about the Constitution. CNN, likewise. I mean, I watch them asking questions with, you know, the hatred. I said, why are you asking the question with such anger? You’re asking me a normal question, but you see the bias. The bias is so incredible. Those two are bad. PBS is bad. AP is bad. CBS is terrible.

Trump once again maligns the media as “the enemy,” because he simply cannot abide anyone that tells the truth about him. He is so intolerant of honest journalism that he recently banned the Associated Press from the Oval Office because they refused to adopt his preposterous renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. Trump later doubled-down on that unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment by declaring that journalists will henceforth be prohibited unless they agree with Trump.

The rest of the interview was an unwatchable hodgepodge of incoherent rambling and flagrant falsehoods. Trump regurgitated many of the fantastical claims that are a routine part of his repertoire. But more significant were the subjects that were not discussed, including some of the issues that Trump made integral parts of his campaign. Little or no mention was made of Ukraine, Gaza, Social Security, immigration, healthcare, taxes, and his threatened annexations of Greenland, Mexico, and Canada.

Even his beloved DOGE was mostly left out of this interview. With Musk sitting right next to him they never talked about the agencies that were closed, or the people that were fired. They never addressed the fact that prosecutors and Justice Department officials were terminated; that nuclear stockpiles were left unsupervised; that public health researchers who monitor the safety of food and medicine, and who guard against potential pandemics were let go; that investigators who protect American consumers from fraud were sacked.

They clearly couldn’t care less about the welfare of the American people. And they couldn’t care less about the Constitution or democratic government. All they care about is accumulating more power and enriching themselves and their wealthy pals. Which is why they are so fixated on hating the media. They need to prevent any possibility of the truth getting out to the public.

Hopefully the media will rise to the occasion and stand up for themselves and the First Amendment. If they are smart they will refuse to cover Trump and his regime until they show the proper respect for the Constitution. Former CNN anchor, Jim Acosta, made a good case for this recently…

“Let the American people see this image: an aspiring autocrat in the Oval Office, surrounded only by his propaganda outlets and right-wing hacks. That’s not a good look for him.”

Scaredy Trump Cowers Behind Sean Hannity – Still Too Afraid of Non-MAGA Media and Kamala Harris

Posted by on October 30, 2024 at 1:57 pm. 4 Comments :

The final week of a close presidential campaign generally sees the candidates making their last pitch to attract and motivate voters and to persuade those who are undecided. They fill their schedules with opportunities to seal the deal, particularly among communities where they might be weak.

Click here to Tweet this article

Fox News Sean Hannity

To that end, Kamala Harris gave a rousing and unifying speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that drew 75,000 people (22,000 more than Trump’s speech there on January 6, 2021). Her speech was aimed directly at Americans who are exhausted by the chaos and discord that epitomized Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House and the years that followed.

Trump, on the other hand, held a rally at Madison Square Garden that reeked of hostility, division, and hatred for anyone that wasn’t unwaveringly worshipful and devoted to Dear Leader.

SEE THIS: DNC Projects the Real Message of Trump’s Anti-American MAGA-Palooza onto Madison Square Garden

In recent days, Harris has granted interviews to a wide variety of media, including “The View,” “Late Night with Stephen Colbert,” Howard Stern, Univision,” “60 Minutes,” and even Fox News. As the campaign season winds down, Harris continues to make more of these sort of broadly diverse appearances before millions of people.

Meanwhile, Trump has been sequestering himself within his MAGA media bubble where he knows that he will never face any challenging questions or pesky fact-checks. (Well, almost never). And he was too chicken to debate Harris after his first whooping. Instead, Trump has been studiously avoiding any situations that he fears will be unfriendly. Which leaves Fox News, where he has appeared ten times – more than twice a week – in just the past month.

That may not be the best way to expand voter outreach, but it makes sense for someone who is utterly incapable of completing a rational thought, expressing an intelligent opinion, or avoiding humiliating gaffes. Although Trump still manages to embarrass himself, even within the hospitable confines of his Fox fortress.

For instance, on Tuesday night Trump made another visit to his Minister of Propaganda, Sean Hannity. While there he touched on several subjects that are unlikely to advance his electoral aspirations. Among them was his resolutely racist rant about rampant crime, about which he lied that…

“Our country is a crime ridden country. When they go into department stores and strip the store and our police stand out there wanting to do their job but they’re told ‘stand down. Don’t touch anybody.’ And they’re walking out with refrigerators. And they’re walking out with air-conditioners.”

First of all, crime is way down, and Trump’s dystopian tales of stripped department stores and constrained police are pure fiction. Secondly, does he really expect anyone to believe that criminals are “walking out with refrigerators”? Those must be some pretty muscular thieves.

Trump also addressed the recent uproar over a speaker at his MSG rally insulting Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Without renouncing the remarks, or apologizing, Trump said that…

“Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something. I have no idea who he is. Never saw him. Never heard of him. Don’t want to hear of him…You throw comedians in, you don’t vet them and go crazy. It’s nobody’s fault…and they try to make a big deal.”

This is a common Trump dodge wherein he just claims ignorance. Which for him is believable. However, this comedian was vetted and his script was reviewed and edited prior to it being loaded into the TelePrompTer. And contrary to Trump’s futile wishes, it has become a big deal, with a potentially significant impact on the election.

Trump also thought it would be a good idea to talk about the speculation that he is a Hitler loving fascist. Because what candidate wouldn’t want to keep that on the top of mind of voters? He began by telling Hannity that his father had told him to “never mention that name.” So naturally, Trump said that…

“They accuse me of being a Nazi. They accuse me of being a Hitler-type guy or a Hitler lover, and I’m not; I’m the opposite. They are the ones that are doing it. They are oppressive. This is like an oppressive machine.”

Way to rub it in, Donald. And by the way, what’s the “opposite of Hitler”? If Hitler’s “master race” rhetoric was promoting White supremacy, then is Trump a proponent of White inferiority? Does Trump have any idea what he’s even talking about?

Furthermore, when trump complains that “they” are the ones “doing it,” he’s talking about his own White House Chief of Staff (Gen. John Kelly), Defense Secretary (Gen. James Mattis), and others who worked closely with him in his administration who are the ones that branded him as a fascist who praises Hitler.

So even with his pal Hannity, on his favorite network, Trump still makes a fool of himself. But not to worry, he’s speaking to an audience that is already committed to voting for him no matter what awful things he says or does.

However, that isn’t going to be much help. Because while Harris is out in the field rounding up every vote she can, Trump is preaching to his hideously off-key choir. Which he will continue to do because he’s too afraid to face anyone – pundits or voters – who haven’t already pledged their allegiance to him.

Crybaby Trump Runs Whining to Sean Hannity When Kamala Harris Passes on Biased Fox News Debate

Posted by on August 20, 2024 at 2:54 pm. NO Comments :

The debate about debates continues to rage as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remain divided as to where, when, and how many face offs they will share. Harris has agreed to the only confirmed debate that was previously scheduled for September 10 on ABC. Trump says he wants more, but he keeps hinting that he might not even show up for this one. He recently told Laura Ingraham on Fox News that “I’ll probably end up debating…but I can also make a case for not doing it.”

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

The Harris campaign has been firing on all cylinders. Ever since she took the baton from President Biden she has enjoyed surging popularity and poll numbers. She has raised record amounts of money. She has united the Democratic Party, as well as many independents and Republicans, in support of her candidacy. Meanwhile, Trump has managed to dig himself into ever deeper trenches just by opening his mouth.

Ordinarily, a candidate that is ahead is less likely to rely on debates to boost their electoral prospects. It’s the losers who seek more bouts in the hopes of gaining some ground. In Trump’s case, he is not only trying to goad Harris into more debates, but to steer her into enemy territory. He is pushing for another debate to be held on Fox News. Yes, the same Fox News that is serving as Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, and that is relentlessly maligning Harris and other Democrats.

On his floundering social media scam, Truth Social (which itself is losing its own battle to stay alive), Trump posted a comment saying in part that…

“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th. […] Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox.”

To be clear, there was never any agreement to do a debate on Fox News on September 4th, or at any other time. It would be surprising if Harris accepted an offer from the network that is working so hard on defaming her and sabotaging her campaign. That doesn’t mean that she will never agree to it. There could be some benefit by defeating Trump on his own partisan turf. But Harris should demand certain concessions. Such as not having a studio audience, muting the mic of the candidate when it isn’t their turn to speak, and selecting moderators who aren’t blatantly pro-Trump (Arthel Neville, a black woman, comes to mind).

If Trump were paying attention, he would know that Harris has made her conditions regarding adding more debates known. She has said publicly that…

“I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on September 10. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope he shows up.” [As for other debates she said that] “I’m happy to have that conversation about an additional debate for after September 10.”

So Trump already knows that his proposal of a Fox News debate on September 4, is a non-starter. But that didn’t stop him from wasting everyone’s time. And his suggestion for what to do if Harris doesn’t agree is typically Trumpian. He would simply spend the hour chatting with Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity. And he wouldn’t even show up for that, but would phone it in for a “tele-town hall” from the bedroom of his Mar-a-Lago bunker.

If this tells us anything, it’s that Trump isn’t serious at all about any of this. Or at least that he shouldn’t be taken seriously. It appears that he knows he’s in a downward spiral and is headed for defeat. So he’s flailing desperately to keep his head above water. But when he gets like that he only makes things worse. In the process his ranting will become even more unhinged. So stay tuned for what may be this season’s biggest political belly flop. It should be fun.

Halfwit Hannity Helps Kamala Harris to Expose the ‘Trump Taxes’ that Will ‘Devastate Americans’

Posted by on August 17, 2024 at 12:27 pm. 2 Comments :

Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party has been struggling desperately to find an effective response to the newly invigorated Democratic campaign for president, led by Vice-President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz. Much of their efforts are still stuck in attacking President Biden and/or trying to shift those attacks unedited to Harris.

Fox News, Sean Hannity

That’s a strategy that so far has only succeeded in giving Jon Stewart more material to mock Trump with. And apparently, being the butt of jokes hasn’t deterred the Trumpists from flailing wildly in hopes of landing a blow on the far more intelligent and nimble Harris campaign. To the contrary, they just continue to double down on their dopey diatribes that inevitably hurt themselves more than their opponents.

SEE THIS: Trump Makes a Pitifully Impotent Attempt to Drive a Wedge Between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

On Friday night Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity, made his latest contribution to the cornucopia of crackpottery. In a segment that was the umpteenth repeat of their tiresome storyline that casts every Democrat as a screaming commie, Hannity may have inadvertently aided and abetted his dreaded foe. He began by furiously maligning Harris as a liar and a fraud…

“This is the most dishonest, deceptive campaign in our country’s history. It’s like con artist Kamala. The biggest bait and switch operation of fraud ever perpetrated on all of you hard-working, taxpaying Americans. And right on cue, today’s speech was full of lots of lies about Donald Trump. Take a look.”

Whereupon, Hannity then played a video clip from Harris’ recent speech in North Carolina. However, the clip Hannity aired was one where Harris took apart Trump’s ill-conceived initiative to slap tariffs on every product that is imported into the United States. She correctly noted that…

[Harris video]: He wants to impose what is, in effect, a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities that we import from other countries. That will devastate Americans. A Trump tax on gas. A Trump tax on food. A Trump tax on clothing. A Trump tax on over-the-counter medication. He tried to cut Medicare every year he was president, threatening a program tens of millions of seniors count on. And according to his Project 2025 agenda, he intends to undo our work to bring down prescription drugs, the cost of prescription drugs, and insulin costs.”

Everything that Harris said was true, as affirmed by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. So naturally Hannity declared, without bothering to back it up, that “None of it is true. Just the opposite. She’s lying.” He went on to refute her remarks about Trump’s Project 2025, saying that “Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025 as she keeps claiming. Clearly he knows nothing about it.”

Hannity is right in one respect. Trump indeed knows nothing about almost everything. However, one of the few exceptions is Project 2025, whose principals are largely Trump associates who have worked in his White House and campaigns. If he is telling the truth about not knowing anyone at Project 2025, then he is suffering a severe cognitive deficiency and should be institutionalized for his own safety. Hannity could share a room with him. And the two of them could spend their days watching Harris’ speech wherein she does what Trump has never been able to do: Deliver a detailed plan to advance the economic well being of every American…

Hannity Thinks Trump Shouldn’t Debate Kamala Harris Because the Moderators Will Be Mean to Him

Posted by on August 1, 2024 at 1:28 pm. 4 Comments :

Whenever Donald Trump makes the mistake of displaying his true nature as a hate mongering ignoramous, he can rely on Fox News to come to his rescue with an adoring spin cycle to whitewash what ever rancid rhetoric he glibly unloaded at one of cult rallies or during a Nerfball interview on some other MAGA media outlet.

Fox News Sean Hannity

On Wednesday Trump provided an exquisite example of this team gamesmanship between himself and Fox News. It came after Trump put on a blatantly racist show before the National Association of Black Journalists where he questioned whether Kamala Harris was Black, insulted the Black journalists hosting the event, accused Harris of being a “DEI hire,” and, for good measure, disses his own VP pick, JD Vance, as having “virtually no impact.”

These are all great messages leading up to the next debate between Trump and his new opponent, Vice-President Harris. That is, if Trump bothers to show up. Although he had already agreed to the September 10 date, he has more recently been backpedaling with lame excuses as to why he might skip the debate. And nothing affirms strong character like running away from an opponent that you are obviously are afraid of.

Cue Sean Hannity of Fox News. On Wednesday night Hannity rushed to try to bail Trump out by providing him with an opening to ditch the debate entirely. He began by bashing ABC News as a dishonest network with unfair journalists. Which is textbook projection on Hannity’s part because that’s how Fox News is known to the rest of the world. He continued saying that…

“Maybe it’s time for Trump to reject any appearance at ABC. For example, why would he show up at their debate if these ‘journalists’ clearly have opinion want to debate Trump themselves? Maybe he should just accept the Fox News Channel’s offer to debate?”

Of course! Because Fox News doesn’t have any “journalists” with opinions, do they? All kidding aside, Hannity’s proposal is just an attempt to grease the skids for Trump to chicken out. Convicted felon Trump is noticeably nervous about the prospect of facing former prosecutor Harris. It’s why his entire campaign is narrowly focused on infantile insults and flagrant lies, rather than any substantive, policy-driven criticism.

Harris recently challenged Trump directly saying that “If you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.” Trump replied by saying that he would “probably” debate “but I can also make a case for not doing it.” Well, now Hannity has helped him to make that case. Although Hannity’s help is a pitifully weak effort that consists of baseless claims about ABC’s fairness, and a self-serving pitch for Fox News to get the hosting privileges. Perhaps Hannity will propose himself and Kayleigh McEnany as moderators.

With the debate only six weeks away, Trump is going to have to make a decision soon. Rest assured that his decision will be based on the level of his fear. Will he be too afraid to go head-to-head with Harris? Or will be too afraid to look scared by dodging her? Those are his choices. And he is surely clawing the faux-gold wallpaper at Mar-a-Lago today trying to make up what’s left of his mind.
