Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell - Smug Dishonesty is a Feature, Not a Bug of MAGA Politics

How do you combat a political party whose entire political platform is constructed on easily disprovable lies?

Watch as MAGA Republican Steve Scalise goes on conservative Joe Kernen's CNBC show and attempts to gaslight Kernen's audience about gas prices in the U.S.:

The reason why Republican politicians like Steve Scalise lie publicly to your faces like this is twofold.

First - they know that a sizable segment of the MAGA voting base are truly dumber than rocks and will essentially believe any bullshit story that Drumpf and his toadies peddle to them.

Secondly, they lie because if they were to actually tell the truth about who their party really is, and who their party really serves, the Republicans would never win another election in this country.  In short - they have to deliberately and knowingly lie to survive as a political party.

And of course it speaks volumes that strategic lying has become such an ingrained feature of MAGA politics that they don't even care any more how brazen the lies are and how effortless it is to debunk those lies. 

If a politician looks you straight in the face and lies to you like Steve Scalise does in this interview with Joe Kernen, then the next question you should be asking yourselves is - what else are they lying to you about?

Why Are DonOld's Assassination Attempts Always So Convenient for DonOld?

Two very relevant things that need to be pointed out regarding last Saturday's alleged 'shooting' and 'assassination' attempt on Dear Leader's life at the White House Correspondent's Dinner in Washington D.C.

First - multiple reports are coming out that security at the Hilton hotel where the event takes place, and has taken place for almost fifty years, was extremely lax last Saturday evening, which makes no sense considering the American President, his Vice President and several members of his cabinet were in attendance, all in the same room together.

Was that lax security by design?  Don't roll your eyes.  When it comes to these scandalous mobsters, it is entirely within the realm of possibility:

 


Link:  Jaw-Dropping Security Revelation Emerges After WHCD Chaos

 

"The Trump administration only provided a relatively low level of security at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where a gunman allegedly tried to kill President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet, according to a report.

The suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, stormed through a checkpoint before being taken down by armed agents outside the ballroom where Trump and other top federal officials were attending the black-tie event.

Sources told The Washington Post that, under normal circumstances, when the president and several top Cabinet officials are gathered in one place, plans would be in place for the Secret Service to coordinate all security through a formal designation known as a “National Special Security Event.

However, no such designation was in place for Saturday’s WHCA dinner. Instead, law enforcement officials told the Post that the Secret Service considered only the ballroom and the immediate perimeter around it to be the areas it would protect on Saturday, not the entire hotel."

 

How very convenient for the MAGA narrative, no?

More so when you take in to consideration just how quickly Drumpf and his MAGA stooges began flooding social media in the immediate aftermath of the incident labeling it as an attempt to assassinate Drumpf.

They also wasted no time demanding that the federal court order that has stopped the construction of DonOld's big, beautiful ballroom be dismissed, and that poor, aggrieved DonOld be allowed to proceed with building his memorial to his own perceived greatness so that he can be protected from the dregs of American society by bomb-proof, gold leafed walls, seven-inch think bullet proof glass, and surrounded by a small army of bunker protecting shock troops - not at all unlike every other banana republic dictator on this planet.

But oops!  There's another slight problem though that has cropped up which calls into question the story that Drumpf and his MAGA minions have spun up around this WHCA incident.

Apparently, evidence is beginning to emerge that the alleged 'shooter' never fired a shot at all, and that all of the gunfire came from Drumpf's own security people.  And if that is the case, then the report of one of the Secret Service detail being shot in the chest and saved by his bullet-proof vest means that agent was shot by one of his own colleagues:

 


Link:  Startling possibility exposed as Trump press dinner shooting narrative cracks: analyst - Raw Story

  

"A political analyst flagged a startling possibility as reports indicate the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner may not have happened as it seemed.

On Saturday, reports indicated that a lone alleged gunman, Cole Allen, rushed through security at the Washington Hilton and fired multiple rounds, striking one Secret Service agent, before being apprehended by law enforcement. The rounds allegedly were fired multiple floors below where the press, President Donald Trump, and members of Trump's cabinet were located.

But new reporting indicates that Allen may not have fired a shot inside the hotel, according to David Pakman, host of his eponymous YouTube show. Pakman discussed the incident in a new reaction video on Wednesday.

"It is possible, ladies and gentlemen, that the shooter fired no shots, that law enforcement fired five or six shots, and that the Secret Service officer who was struck by a bullet might have been struck by friendly fire," Pakman said.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that video evidence the outlet reviewed included "no indication ... that Allen fired his weapon, though authorities have charged him with discharging a firearm during a crime of violence."" 

 

Doesn't it make you wonder, just a little bit even, why at a time when Drumpf's public poll numbers are cratering, his decision to join Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure is blowing up in his face, and questions still swirl around his role as child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's sidekick for two decades, that DonOld and his people were so eager and quick to claim that this deranged individual fired shots inside the hotel and that he was aiming to kill Drumpf even before a preliminary investigation had begun?

The area inside the D.C Hilton where the alleged 'shooting' occurred is several floors beneath and a fair distance away from the ballroom where the WHCA event was taking place.  So my question then to the MAGA chuds is - how could Drumpf have been in danger when there were layers of hotel infrastructure and White House security between him and this alleged "shooter" who apparently never fired a shot?

Things to think about as this problematic story unfolds.

One thing is clear.  Americans cannot believe a single fucking word that comes from this administration and their toadies.  Their words are worthless and anyone putting faith in them is a goddamn fool.

And Now For Something Completely Different Than the Usual Drumpf Horridness

Since the banner of this shitty little blog does advertise "Humor and Music" along with the "Politics," I'm going to use this post to step away from the Drumpf/MAGA horror show for a change and honor that banner advertising.

So without further adieu, let's start off with one of my favorite YouTube ensemble groups, 'Sing it Live' doing smoking cover versions of hit songs by Meat Loaf and Fleetwood Mac:

 


 

 


 

They're good huh?  Go check out their YouTube page, they've got a ton of similar high quality, kick-ass videos.

And as for the 'Humor' interlude . . . well, I truly do have to go with my all-time favorite, a guy who could make you laugh while simultaneously making you think about just how crazy and fucked up things are in this country we live in.  I speak of course of the inimitable, and one and only, George Carlin: 

 


 

Nobody could explain just how badly and brazenly the oligarchs of this country have rigged the 'system' against average, hard-working Americans, regardless of political affiliation, and make you double over in laughter while doing so than George.  He was an unmatched legend, pure and simple.

And there you have it.  Truth in banner advertising:

The Second Comey Indictment is Pure Drumpf Spite - And an Embarrassing Travesty for Justice

If you've got an hour of time to burn and are open to watching a concise, clinical, and colorful rundown of exactly why Drumpf's ordering his DOJ to criminally indict former FBI Director James Comey for a second time will go down quickly in embarrassing and shameful flames, here's Hawk to explain it like only Hawk can:

 


 

James Comey most certainly is a skunk for his role in the bogus 'Hillary's emails' ratfuckery, but Drumpf's newest indictment "should" get shamefully demolished just like the first indictment was as Hawk explains in the video.

It's just a disgraceful fucking show of corruption and misuse and abuse of power by the most corrupt POTUS in this nation's history and the people who continue to support Drumpf are essentially supporting someone who is transforming the United States of America into an authoritarian, banana republic shithole country.

'Drumpf the Great' or 'DonOld Caesar' - Will There be a Similar Historical Denouement?

Umm . . . who wants to educate the ignorant old mobster?

 


Link:  Trump's latest 'terrifying' admission reveals something dark on the horizon: analysts - Raw Story

 

"A series of leaks that made it into the newspapers on Wednesday about how President Donald Trump talks about himself behind closed doors alarmed a pair of political analysts.

Nico Hines, host of "The Daily Beast Podcast," discussed a new report from The Atlantic detailing how Trump considers himself among history's greatest men, in the same ranks as figures like Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Hines noted that Trump has spoken highly of himself in the past, but the remarks captured in the report, which cites "a senior administration official and a longtime Trump confidant," show that his grandiose self-view has reached a new level.

“He’s been talking recently about how he is the most powerful person to ever live,” the confidant told The Atlantic. “He wants to be remembered as the one who did things that other people couldn’t do, because of his sheer power and force of will.”"

  

Interesting.  So Drumpf fancies himself a Julius Caesar or an Alexander the Great, huh?

Julius Caesar died at the age of 55 by tyrannicide.  Mercilessly stabbed to death by members of his own government.

Alexander the Great died at age 32, likely poisoned by people near him

I don't think DonOld truly wishes to depart this earthly existence in the manner of those two historical figures, do you?  But then again, he is a freak, so who knows.

And let's be honest here.  The only "things" getting done because of demising  DonOld's "sheer power and force of will" are the cover-up of his own involvement in a massive child sex ring, his dragging America into an illegal war in Iran, and selling America out to the highest and evilest of billionaire bidders as he sabotages our economy and attempts to transform the country into shithole autocratic state, the very same kind of autocratic state that the people of Hungary just banished to the political wilderness in their country.

Flatlining Poll Numbers Show Americans are Wising up to The GOP's Betrayal of the Country

Once again - it is not the media and the polling companies who are the reason for the Republican party's sinking popularity with voters right now:

 

 

Link:  GOP handed brutal '2%' polling figure as 'final nail in the coffin' delivered: expert - Raw Story

"The Republican Party is facing down a brutal polling figure which could mark the beginning of the end for their midterms cycle, an analyst has claimed.

Simulations of the midterm election had the Democrats coming out on top with a House majority, The Economist's Marie Segger wrote. A recent redistricting effort in Virginia has been noted by Segger as the tipping point for what could be a rough election cycle for the Republican Party.

Virginia Democrats achieved a major victory when voters approved an aggressive redistricting measure in April 2026. The ballot measure passed with approximately 51% support, or more than 1.5 million voters. The new map favors Democrats in 10 of 11 districts, potentially gaining four House seats."

 

I mean, c'mon ffs. 

While the Virginia redistricting decision APPROVED BY VIRGINIA VOTERS (unlike Texas and now Florida) may be a sign of waning GOP popular support, the real reason for the party of Lincoln's grim midterms outlook is because DonOld Drumpf has made himself a miserable part of our American lives going on 11 fucking years now, and has declared his wish to make himself a miserable part of our American lives for even more years than he is constitutionally allowed.

Americans are finally beginning to see the light, hopefully not too late, about who and what Drumpf and MAGA are and what their fascist, anti-America agenda is.  Even Hitler's fascist, dictatorial reign of power only lasted 11 years and most of the German people by the time it occurred were not sorrowful at news of his demise.

Hitler and the Nazi party never had more than 35% political support in Germany prior to his coming to power.  Drumpf's poll numbers right now are in 'Der Führer' range - low 30% range, and that number is trending downward 👇.   If past history is an indicator . . .?

Republicans however, seem to think that a majority of Americans are eager to endure two or even more years of their MAGA circus congress coddling a tyrannical, whiny-ass titty baby, diaper shitting, dementia-addled criminal president while getting absolutely nothing accomplished on behalf of Americans who have been economically impacted by DonOld's massively failed MAGA governing policies, and the blow-back from his now clearly catastrophic decision to involve America in Bibi Netanyahu's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.

There have been, at last count if I recall, around 30 special elections in the US over the past several months, in both blue states and blue areas of the country, as well as red states including some very deep red districts.  Democrats have won all but one I believe of those special elections.  Read the writing on the wall Republicans.

MAGA Mike Johnson and his do-nothing, pedophilia protecting MAGA Congress have shown Americans that they serve a constituency of one - a mobbed up, pussy-grabbing, adjudicated rapist, suspected child rapist, twice-impeached, multi-indicted convicted felon, and coup-plotting traitor who has sold this great nation down the river to some very sick and evil people.

That is the principal reason why their Trumpublican political party is sinking in the polls like a jettisoned boat anchor.

Drumpf's Mouth Endangers US Troops - Print That as a Headline, MSM

The most powerful leader of free and democratic nations around the world is tweeting out boorish smack talk like this on his own personal social media account at a time when American military personnel are directly in harm's way due to his own arrogant incompetence and demented hubris having illegally taken this country to war.

This is why I will never 'tone down' my views of this pile of putrid, orange trash and I wholeheartedly look forward to his third impeachment after the Republicans are dispatched with at the polls in this November's midterm elections.

 


 

And today he announced that they are going to plaster his stupid, scowling face on new US Passports and make it the 'default' passport choice for new applicants.

Pete Hegseth is Beyond Being a "Disgrace" - And our Military and Soldiers Will Suffer For It

Well, if Pistol Pete Hegseth is going to piss American taxpayer money down the shitter it might as well be on stupid shit like this - taking US Apache Military aircraft for a joyride with a washed up, fake rapper.  Better than bombing schools filled with little girls in Iran and vaporizing wooden fishing boats in the open seas with Hellfire missiles, I suppose:

 


Link:  Observers roast Pete Hegseth's 'joyride' with 'washed-up' MAGA music star: 'A disgrace' - Raw Story

 

"Political analysts and observers roasted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday after he announced he took a "joyride" with MAGA music star Kid Rock.

"Joined my friend @KidRock — and some of our great @USArmy Apache pilots — for a ride this morning. (More to come on that!)" Hegseth wrote in a post on X. "Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops. The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America’s 250th — home of the free because of the brave."

The move comes just weeks after Army pilots were reprimanded for flying a helicopter near Kid Rock's home in Nashville. Hegseth stepped in after the incident and prevented the pilots from receiving any formal discipline."

 

Once again - does it even need to be said that had the US Defense Secretary under Biden or Obama behaved this way in public, the Republicans would have been screaming for that Defense Secretary's immediate removal? 

And what kind of military discipline message does it send to the military rank and file when Kegsbreath personally intervenes to essentially block warranted disciplinary action toward those irresponsible Blackhawk pilots who buzzed Kid CRock's house?

We are truly ruled by clowns right now in this country.  Malignant clowns at that.

MAGA: "Stop Saying Mean Things About Dear Leader and Give Him His Golden Ballroom!"

If someone tries to tell you and convince you in the wake of the WHCA 'alleged' shooting incident that it is Democrats who need to "tone down" their rhetoric about Dear Leader and his criminal regime, please print out and hand them a copy of these headlines and very politely suggest to them that they go pound some coarse sand in their sphincter:

 


Link:  Post by @texasgeologist.bsky.social — Bluesky

 

And let's not forget the biggest instigation to violence of all, hands down, Drumpf's provocation to his MAGA followers at the White House on January 6, 2021 to march down to the capitol building and "fight like Hell!" to take their country back from Joe Biden's legitimate, lawful victory over the blubbering old crybaby.

Six Americans died as a result of the violence perpetrated by Drumpf's MAGA goons that day, including two police officers.  More than 170 other law enforcement officers were viciously attacked and sent to the hospital with a myriad of blunt force injuries, dozens with severe injuries requiring hospitalization.

Drumpf subsequently pardoned more than 1600 of those MAGA terrorists who ALL had been FAIRLY CONVICTED in US courts of law in front of American judges and American juries for their violent and criminal acts committed that day.  He has even pardoned all of the oath keepers, three percenter, and proud boy scum who received the longest federal prison sentences of all for their convictions of 'seditious conspiracy' against the United States of America. 

Uh-huh.  So yeah, all of these sudden demands by Republicans and MAGA that liberals and Democrats need to essentially silence themselves when speaking about (criticizing) Dear Leader is just more performative, gaslighting assholery by the right.

If these Republicans truly gave a flying shit about amped-up political rhetoric, Drumpf himself, being the prolific violator that he is, should be the very first person they talk to on the matter considering the fact that he is more responsible than anyone for much of the bad blood rhetoric that is taking place in our politics these days.

But we know that rank and file Republicans are either in agreement with much of Drumpf's violence-tinged rhetoric or they are too frightened to stand up to the dirty old mobster to tell him to knock it off, and so DonOld and his MAGA attack dogs will continue to get a free pass in the violent rhetoric department from charlatans like MAGA Mike Johnson and the right-wing media like Fox "news."  And quite frankly, that is why I feel no compunction whatsoever to dial back my own constitutionally guaranteed right to openly express my heartfelt, sincere views of the dirty old kiddie diddler and his fascist cult.

When Dumb People Vote in Numbers, Everyone Suffers

You are dumb.  Offense intended: 

 


Link:  'I feel dumb': Trump voters fed up with president spill their 'disappointment' to NYT - Raw Story

 

"A dozen voters who backed President Donald Trump in 2024 expressed disillusionment with his second term as part of a focus group convened by the New York Times.

The 79-year-old president still enjoys 80 percent approval among Republicans, but his standing with independents has cratered, and many of his own voters – like those who spoke to the Times – say they regret their choice.

"So much has happened," said Kitty, a 36-year-old student and political independent from Pennsylvania. "We’re starting to see, we’re getting disillusioned, and all these false promises are starting to be like, we know it for what it is now. Now that we know and we don’t feel as naïve or trusting, then we can properly create a path forward to going in better direction."

Chris, a 42-year-old Republican electrician from Illinois, told moderator Margie Omero he was surprised by Trump's presidency.

"Life is becoming more and more unaffordable," he said. "The prices of things like gasoline and food overall haven’t come down. I thought it all would just be a lot more affordable.""  

 

What did these Trump-voting dipshits think was going to happen when a multi-indicted, convicted felon, court-declared rapist, and coup-plotting traitor stole his way back in to office a second time?  Did they think that he was all of a sudden going to repent his crimes and start giving a shit about them and their piddly economic issues?  

Lol!

Still, to this day, it has yet to dawn on these dummies that the ONLY reason Drumpf ran for office a second time was to stay out of prison, cover up his 'Epstein Files' child sex crimes, and use the presidency to exact revenge against his perceived enemies and also to economically sabotage this country in as many ways as he can to appease his one and true master, Vladimir Putin. 

So yeah, I don't have one ounce of sympathy for or empathy with these now disgruntled MAGA people.

They knew exactly who they were voting for and what they were voting for.  And if they didn't, they are all the fucking dumber.

You know, it's funny.  The second I read the comments from MAGA voters 'Kitty' and 'Chris' in that article, the first thing that immediately popped into my mind was this bit from comedian Ron White:

 

 

Ron White was talking about your average, brain-dead, conservative voter in that clip, convince me otherwise.  

The fact that 80 percent of Republicans STILL approve of Drumpf's performance in office is sufficient proof that these Republican voters have not suffered enough under the old orange mobster's rule.  That's about to change though as Donny and Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure plays out and the world economy goes right in to the shitter.

We'll see how Republican voters like 'Kitty' and 'Chris' feel after the impact of that looming disaster hits them.
