Guy Who Publicly Expressed a Desire to Rule the US as a Dictator is Banning News Outlets Now

"I THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PHAROAH DRUMPF DO HEARBY BANISH THE COMMIE-PINKO, FAKE WOKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS CNN, MSNOW, AND POLITICO FROM MY EARTHLY KINGDOM.  BY THE POWER VESTED IN MY HUMBLE GREATNESS BY THE GODS OF TOTALITARIANISM, SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!

That's pretty much how I interpret Orange Shitler's decree today ordering the removal of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico reporters from the White House press pool.  That is a direct and brazen attack on the first amendment to our US Constitution.

Have a gander at DonOld's laughable edict issued from his 'Truth Social' site today:

He is "proud" to literally pour gasoline on the 1st amendment to this nation's constitution and set it afire.

Link:  Trump expels CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House in fit of rage — with more to come - Raw Story

"President Donald Trump announced Friday that he is barring three major news organizations from the White House, effective immediately.

"I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW ... and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform."

The POTUS has no legal or constitutional authority to ban news organizations that he doesn't personally like from the White House.  None.

Not that our constitution or laws matter to the convicted felon currently squatting in the American people's White House.

Drumpf will ban these orgs until the courts order him to reinstate them, and then he will defy the courts until they threaten him with legal repercussions.  The whole point will be to stretch his repression and blacklisting of these news outlets out for as long as he can get away with it.  He did the exact same thing when he banned CNN reporters Jim Acosta and Brian Karem from the White House press pool.  They both sued and won reinstatement.

It goes without saying that CNN, MSNOW, and Politico will not be the last news orgs to receive the purge treatment.  Btw - Hegseth is doing the same thing over at the Pentagon by replacing the traditional news and press reporters with a pool of shadily credentialed right-wing "influencers," podcasters, and media collaborators, which explains the shameful scarcity of credible, trustworthy news coming out of Pistol Pete's "Big Iran Armageddon Adventure."

Vote these fraudster fascists out of office.  Send MAGA back into the cracks and crevices they crawled out of at the beckon call of the filthy old mobbed-up felon, and kiddie-diddling dictator wannabe.

Is the Drumpf Administration Being Honest With Americans About Iran? It Sure Doesn't Look Like It.

As they have done from day one, Drumpf and Kegseth continue to lie to and deceive the American people about the state of Donny and Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

Link:  More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly - The Washington Post

It stands to reason that if these guys will lie about the number of American soldiers dying and being wounded in this congressionally un-authorized, boondoggle of a war that they have blundered the US into, then they will also lie about the overall state of the conflict.

And if the news I have been reading about that is coming out of the Middle East is any indication, the war is not going well for the United States or their regional allies.

Americans can see the tangible damage of Drumpf's horrible blunder in the increasing rate of domestic economic inflation, the rapidly rising price of both gas and diesel fuel, rising costs of groceries and everyday necessities, utility bills increasing, and the costs of healthcare rising at a time when millions of Americans are being thrown off of Medicaid and Medicare and more underprivileged American kids are losing food and basic necessity benefits.

All to fund Don and Bibi's "Big Iran Armageddon Adventure," and give massive tax cuts to wealth-hoarding scum like MuskRat, Bozos, Zuckerturd, and the rest of those tech-bro billionaire 'nerd reich' twats who want to turn the US and eventually the rest of the planet into their own dystopian, AI-controlled version of 'Oceania.'

And to think Pete Kegseth recently went to Congress, hat in hand begging for nearly $70 billion more of your tax dollars to to presumably keep their already failed Iran war boondoggle financed through the end of Drumpf's already disastrously failed second term in office.

All that I have to say about that is that anyone in congress, Democrat or Republican who votes in favor of giving Drumpf's clownish "Secretary of War," a day drunk, over-testosteroned, former Fox 'news' weekend talk show co-host, and fellow accused rapist 'Pistol Pete' Hegseth $70 billion MORE of our American tax dollars to continue his already clearly failed war effort against Iran should be run out of politics, preferably on a log rail, after having been tarred and feathered by their constituents.

God only knows how much about the true cost to the United States in lives and treasure is deliberately being kept hidden from the American public's view.

But having witnessed the depth of the moral rot that exists in the decrepit souls of these Drumpf administration dissemblers, it is always best practice to expect the worst from them.

Dictator Wannabe Taunts the Law as He Tries to Steal America's Tribute to a Slain President

A federal judge yesterday was forced to issue a ruling that ordered Drumpf and his gangster government to provide the court with 30 days advance notice before ANY action is taken toward demolishing the iconic Kennedy Center:

Link:  Judge demands 'emergency' answers as forklift rams Kennedy Center after Trump threat - Raw Story

"A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump and the Kennedy Center's board to respond by Thursday morning to an emergency motion filed as forklifts were seen striking the building while quickly moved to encircle it with fencing.

Judge Christopher Cooper signed the order Wednesday, less than two hours after Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) filed the motion, the court docket shows. Trump and the other defendants must answer by 10 a.m. Thursday, and the court will schedule a prompt hearing if necessary after reviewing that response.

Cooper's May order blocks the board from closing the Center until it approves a shutdown that follows his opinion and he lifts that freeze, the motion says. The board voted Tuesday to close. Cooper has not lifted it."

DonOld Drumpf is such a narcissistic, miserable old cunt that he has decided that if he is not allowed to carve his execrable name on the facade of the Kennedy Center building, then he is just going to tear it down and nobody gets to enjoy it then.

The people who continue to support and enable this hopelessly corrupt, America hating piece of shit who is illegally squatting in the American people's White House have their day of reckoning coming.  I sure hope they are preparing themselves for it's eventual arrival.

Who Needs Enemies When The Leader of Your Military is an Incompetent, Unqualified Buffoon?

America could only be so lucky...

Pete Kegseth's fantasy gig as 'Secretary of War' is going to come to an ignominious end soon enough. The only question that remains after that is how soon he is arrested and extradited to The Hague to face a war crimes tribunal.

'MAGA Mike Johnson' Temporarily Dodges MAGA-on-MAGA Impeachment Disaster by Furloughing Congress

So if you haven't heard, Republican House leader 'MAGA Mike' Johnson dismissed congress and sent them home until after the midterm elections are over, even though this lazy ass, do nothing Republican-led congress has only worked 70 some days this year so far.

The reason MAGA Mike sent everyone home is because of this:

Link:  'Enjoy your little fantasy': Massie scorches Hegseth in speech after House sent home early - Raw Story

"A Republican congressman accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of committing more illegal acts than anyone else in the administration, after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called off Thursday's impeachment vote of the cabinet official.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) delivered the speech on the House floor Wednesday, one day after he introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth.

Johnson announced earlier Wednesday that he was sending members home for a seven-week campaign recess, a decision that pushes any impeachment vote past the November midterm elections, CNN reported."

Not only has Kegseth blown $40 billion in us taxpayer money in his, Don's, and Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure,' and precariously depleted U.S. military offensive and defensive weapons inventories, he has also been covering up the true cost of this Iran boodoggle to the American people in deployed assets and American military personnel:

Link:  New photos show widespread damage at U.S. positions caused by Iranian missile, drone attacks - CBS News

"New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks.  

The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity because of rigid media restrictions within the military. 

"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member told CBS News. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.""

What I have been reading is that Iran has essentially blown up and rendered unusable a sizable percentage of the military installations that America has (or, had?) in the Persian Gulf region, and that Americans haven't been told about so much as a fraction of the truth as to the actual cost of those military assets that Iran has put out of commission in Don and Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

Additionally, I have also read reports that American military troop casualties have gone over the 900 mark and that Kegseth and his lackeys are keeping purposely silent about that as well.

It's all so odd though because Kegseth and his Putin-fellating boss have told us, no, boasted about on MULTIPLE occasions over the past seven months of this war that was supposed to be over in two or three weeks, that Donald and Pete had literally defeated Iran, had destroyed their nuke capabilities, destroyed their military, gained military control of the Strait of Homuz, and that America had 'won' the war.

So how did the all of these US military bases and all of these assets get bombed to smithereens, and apparently are still getting pulverized with all of this 'winning' that Drumpf and Pete are telling us is occurring?

And how did we arrive at nearly 20 dead and 900 troop casualties if we 'won' this war six months ago?

Because Pistol Pete Kegseth is covering up his colossal incompetence would be my guess.

And that brings us back to scorned Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie and his impeachment resolution.

Massie kept his Hegseth impeachment resolution under wraps and sprung it on his House Republican colleagues without any advance warning.

Immediately, in response, 'MAGA Mike' Johnson shuts down the House and sends everyone home until AFTER the midterm elections in November.

That tells me a couple of things.

The most obvious is that it's clear that the Democrats have corralled enough GOP cross-over votes to impeach and remove that little bohemian Private First Class drunkard and incompetent Fox "news" chud posing as a military leader, Pete Hegseth, from office.  If 'MAGA Mike' was certain that he had the votes to defeat Massie's resolution, he would just let it come to the floor now and be done with it.

Secondly, and not so clear, but not out of the realm of possibility either, is that 'MAGA Mike' is feeling a bold level of confidence in waiting until after the midterms perhaps because he has first-hand knowledge of the Drumpf/MAGA plot to ratfuck these elections so that it's ensured that Trumpublicans retain control of congress, thus making an impeachment of Hegseth a moot effort.  I would not put such a scenario beyond these thugs.

MAGA's 'Dear Leader' is a Liar, a Fraud, and an un-American Stochastic Terrorist Who Despises His Own Cult

Drumpf threatened the citizenry of North Carolina yesterday, telling them that if they fail to elect his chosen MAGA candidate to the US Senate, he is not going to release FEMA disaster aid for their state:

Link:  'This is sick': Outrage as Trump taunts rallygoers with hurricane relief - Raw Story

"President Donald Trump told North Carolinians that he'll withhold FEMA funding needed for hurricane relief unless the candidate he endorsed wins the midterms.

On Wednesday, Trump showed up in Gastonia, North Carolina, to stump for GOP Senate nominee Michael Whatley, and he told the voters at the rally that Whatley had to win if the state were to receive any additional FEMA funding as the state continues to recover from Hurricane Helene.

"We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding, and you know you're waiting for some additional money," Trump reminded his rally attendees. "I'm going to get that to you, Michael. Now, if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

The audience reacted with a mixture of laughs and groans while online commentators were outraged."

It's called 'extortion.'

"Vote the way I tell you to vote or your state will suffer in the aftermath of a natural disaster because I won't help you."

It's more than just "sick."  It's un-American.  It's anti-American.   It's un-Christian.  It's evil.

If anyone out there has a better way of describing the act of the President of  the United States threatening to allow his own citizenry to suffer unaided in the aftermath of a disaster if they don't vote the way he demands they vote, I am all ears for hearing it.

The idiot MAGAs at that rally who were laughing at Drumpf's insidious threat really have to be some of the dumbest sons of bitches alive on this planet.  He was literally ordering them to vote his way, 'or else.'

The Drumpf cultists laugh because they either fail to comprehend the filthy old mobster's messaging, or worse yet, they do understand it and are completely on board with it.

Essentially, when you analyze it, what Drumpf was telling these people was, imagine if Ma and Pa MAGA are in a horrible car wreck, and DonOld comes upon the scene with his crew of rescuers and 'jaws of life' to find Ma and Pa MAGA trapped in their burning vehicle.  DonOld would make these folks who are slowly being burned alive promise to vote for his candidate if they wanted his help escaping from their fiery death trap.  And even then of course, he wouldn't lift a finger himself to assist them, he would simply defer to others to do the task.

"Sick" doesn't come close to accurately describing DonOld Drumpf's toxic mindset.

And it goes without saying that if Drumpf is as "sick" as his words at this North Carolina rally yesterday depict him to be, his few remaining die-hard followers are just as mentally unmoored as he is.

Coming Soon: The Great Donald J. Trump Economic Crash of 2026

Buckle up, turbulent economic weather ahead for non-millionaire, non-billionaire Americans:

Link:  'Extraordinarily dire' signs spark fears of imminent US crash: 'This could be it' - Raw Story

"A U.S. market crash could be just around the corner “directly as a result” of a recent Middle East development and a confluence of other factors, political analysts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti warned on Monday.

Last week, the Yemeni militant organization the Houthis gained significant control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait — a critical global shipping chokepoint in the Red Sea — after seizing control of Yemen’s west coast and Mayyun island, which divides the strait into two channels. The Saudi Arabian East-West oil pipeline was also damaged in an attack originating from Iraq, threatening 4% of global oil supply.

The developments come as oil prices continue to surge to what Ball called “extraordinarily dire” levels amid the months-long disruption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz."

All of this could have been avoided.

But no.

A bunch of selfish, hateful, foolish Americans thought it was a dandy idea to put DonOld Drumpf back in the White House KNOWING that more than a million Americans died on his watch from his failed handling of a pandemic, KNOWING he was a convicted felon, KNOWING he was an adjudicated rapist, KNOWING that he had instigated a violent, deadly coup attempt against this country, KNOWING that he had promised to rule America 'like a dictator,' and of course, KNOWING of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking empire.

So when the economic crash happens, and this message is directed primarily at every single person out there who voted to re-elected Drumpf in 2024 KNOWING all of the rotten, criminal, un-American shit he has been involved in, and knowing what a colossal piece of human waste serial sex offender he is - don't any of you dare say you weren't warned, or that you never could have imagined how the brilliant "businessman" known as Donald Trump could once again crash the American economy (as he did during Covid) and leaving a fucking wreck of a nation for Democrats to also once again clean up.

Suffice to say that in regard to those Americans who KNEW what a scumbag Drumpf is and still went out and voted to foist his corrupt, raping ass along with the freakshow gallery of traitorous douchebags and quislings he surrounds himself with on this country a second time, there will be no sympathy or empathy from these quarters for when the economic lives of the orange kiddie-diddler's supporters are devastated by their savior's colossal incompetence and stupidity.

Grocery bills have nearly doubled for most American families.

Gas is steadily on the rise, nearing nearly $4.50 a gallon national average, soon to be $5-6 a gallon if reports coming out of the middle east are accurate.

The cost of diesel fuel, literally which runs economies, and the American economy is no exception, has shattered records and just passed the $6.30 a gallon mark and is increasing by the day.

Electric, natural gas, and heating oil prices are skyrocketing just before a winter predicted to be colder than normal.

Meanwhile, as the MAGA POTUS disinterestedly watches the war that he started against Iran turn in Iran's favor, he busies himself with golfing expeditions to Ireland and schmoozing with the MAGA 'influencers' at his Mar-a-Lardass Porn Resort and shitty golf motel.

DonOld also seems to have plenty of free time on his hands to keep pushing forward with his disgusting vanity projects such as renaming iconic buildings like the Kennedy Center after himself, gold leafing bronze statues, building a multi-billion dollar taxpayer funded 'ballroom,' hideout bunker, and drone port that is three times the size of the actual White House itself, and trying to force the construction of a gigantic, Nazi-era inspired 'victory arch' that would dwarf the Washington D.C. skyline.  

All of Drumpf's totally unneeded vanity projects are projected to cost American citizens billions more of their tax dollars on top of the $40 billion that DonOld and Pete Kegseth have already pissed down the drain in their 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

So yeah, when The Great Donald J. Trump Economic Crash of 2026 hits home, make no mistake about it  that the felonious leader of MAGA will be the sole cause of it, no matter how vociferously, deceitfully, and despicably his fraudster enablers and apologists try to blame Joe Biden.

The Trump Administration Comes to the Defense of Yet Another Suspected Pedophile

Wait...

So the American administration that is led by a guy who was best pals with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker and child rapist for two decades, and who are currently violating federal law with their refusal to release the more than three million remaining documents of the 'Epstein Files' which by law they were ordered to release last November, is covering up for a suspected child sexual predator who DonOld corruptly hired as one of his diplomats?

It's just all too predictable:

Link:  US secretly flew American diplomat out of UK without telling British police after he was found with child abuse images in dawn raid | Daily Mail Online

"An American diplomat accused of possessing child abuse images was secretly seized from his London home and flown out of Britain by US officials without British police being told, it has been claimed.

The former US serviceman, who was working at the American Embassy in Nine Elms, south London, was allegedly taken from his flat in Putney after a dawn raid on August 25.

Sources claim US officials discovered child abuse images at the property after they launched an investigation into the man's brother, who is based in America and is accused of sending abusive material to the diplomat.

But British authorities were said to have been informed only after he had been flown out.

The claims have prompted furious questions over whether US officials bypassed British criminal justice procedures and have led to meetings involving senior Metropolitan Police figures and ministers."

The Drumpf administration is more than a den of thieves.  It's a den of thieves, grifters, charlatans, and people like this Trump diplomat who has a sweet tooth for kiddie porn.

DonOld and the people he surrounds himself with keep showing us all who they really are, day in and day out.

It's long past time for the American people to take the Trump and MAGA trash out to the curb once and for all.

Vote against every candidate with an (R) after their name for the foreseeable future.  Impeach, convict, and remove the compromised Russian asset and his compromised Russian asset family from our government.  Prosecute them all.

Russian Money "Makes Up a Pretty Disproportionate Cross-section" of the Trump Family Wealth

Now that Americans have been presented with additional evidence that Vladimir Putin's 'friends' are bankrolling the lavish lifestyles of Donald Trump's kids (see previous post), now would be a good time to remind everyone that the Drumpf crime family has been in financial bed with the Russians for a very long time:

Link:  Donald Trump Jr. in 2008 Said a Lot of Trump Assets Were in Russia - Business Insider

• A decade-old quote from Donald Trump Jr. resurfaced in a New York Times column over the weekend.
• "In terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets," Trump Jr. said during a conference in New York in 2008.

That was Cokehead Jr. nearly two decades ago letting it slip in boasting that the Trump organization was in tight with the Russians.

So yeah - it looks like the payoff for having Daddy Drumpf look the other way while the Russians commit genocide against Ukraine and provide intel to Iran for targeting American military troops and assets in the Mideast is to underwrite the solvency of the Trump Org and supply the Trump family members with 'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.'

If anything, Putin is finally getting a pretty handsome return on his long-term investment, if you ask me.

Who Needs Enemies When The Trump Family is in The White House?

Good to know that the corrupt offspring of Donald Trump are sucking on the Russian FSB teat just as hard as dear old Dad is:

Link:  Donald Trump Jr.’s Wedding Bankrolled by Putin-Linked Russian Oligarch — ProPublica

"On May 24, Donald Trump Jr. was celebrating in the Bahamas, as scantily clad dancers in stilettos and sailor caps performed for him and his guests. It was the last night of his wedding, a lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. A five-tier funfetti cake had been airlifted in from Florida, and helicopters and seaplanes descended on the islands before guests settled into their oceanfront villas. That night on the beach, Trump Jr. lifted his bride into the air while fireworks launched from a barge over the sea.

“It was everything we dreamed of and more,” his wife later wrote on Instagram.

That dream was heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin.

Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and interviews with three people familiar with the event."

I say that it's a good thing that Americans know that Trump's sons are cozy with the country that is currently supplying Iran with intel on the locations of US military personnel and assets in the Mideast for Iran to bomb because it will make it all that much easier to arrest these traitorous Drumpf family pricks once King DonOld and his MAGA thugs have been deposed and removed from power.

The most obvious question to ask besides why is the wealthy son of a wealthy American president accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from a Russian operative who has direct ties to the mass murdering, wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin is - where is the congressional oversight?

I only ask that question because MAGA Republicans in Congress spent more than half a decade and millions of taxpayer dollars investigating Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, and after more than five years and dozens of taxpayer-funded congressional hearings, the intrepid MAGA Republican corruption hunters in the House finally got their man. 

Republicans got the younger Biden to admit taking an $8,000 interest-free cash loan from his father to buy a pickup truck, having naked pictures of himself and women on his laptop, and lying about past drug use on a gun purchase form.

Hey, but at least they didn't find that Hunter Biden accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in free gifts and a lavish, extravagant island wedding from one of Vladimir Putin's right-hand men, amiright?

The Trump family are traitorous parasites on the backside of this nation's ass.  Their continued presence in our government endangers the national security of this country and every single American in it.

The Americans who continue to worship and promote this manifestly corrupted and compromised family of grifting criminals and Russian stooges are quite simply put - goddamn fools - not to mention accessories to treason.
