MAGA-friendly Billionaires Rape and Pillage CBS News

Right-wing, Trump-supporting, Zionist billionaires Larry and David Ellison, along with their hired, MAGA-approved political assassin Bari Weiss, have essentially finished off the remaining remnants of integrity that used to define the journalistic achievements of the American news organization commonly referred to as 'The Tiffany Network' of news,  CBS News:

 

Link:  Bari Weiss just set off an 'underwater earthquake' at CBS by firing Scott Pelley: expert - Raw Story

  

"A media expert warned CBS chief Bari Weiss on Tuesday night that she just set off an "underwater earthquake" at her network by showing veteran journalist Scott Pelley the door.

Pelley had been a journalist with CBS News for more than four decades before he was dismissed on Tuesday. His firing came just one day after Pelley confronted CBS News leadership in a staff meeting and accused them of "murdering" the flagship show, "60 Minutes.""  

 

Firing a highly respected, trusted, long-time 60 Minutes journalist like Scott Pelley does nothing to dispel the belief held by many that the Ellison billionaires and Weiss have set out to accomplish exactly what they wanted to do, which was to gut and hollow out CBS News and effectively neuter it, with the long-term goal of remaking it into a slicker version of Rupert Murdoch's execrable, completely unwatchable Fox "news."  

The Ellisons owned Skydance then merged it with Paramount.  Paramount is a glossy, corporate media behemoth that is in the ownership hands of some very greedy, very corrupt, very shitty human beings (the aforementioned Ellison father and son billionaires).

The Ellisons and Paramount are intent on buying up as much of the American news media landscape as they can, and their motivation for doing so is both greed and power, mostly power though.  The Ellisons want to control the media messaging Americans get from their broadcast "news" programs, and so they have opted to do what Fox does, which is lie to and manipulate their subscribers into believing things that are against their own best interests.

What the Ellison scum have done so far to CBS News is evidence enough that their ownership intentions are not benign.

Personally, I will do everything in my power to ensure that not one penny of my income ever ends up in the bank accounts of the Ellison scum.  Fuck them.  Fuck Bari Weiss too.  Fuck Paramount Plus as well.

As far as I'm concerned Paramount is an enemy corporation now, and they aren't deserving of one red cent of my American money or my patronage.

Why Should Anyone Trust a Government Agency That Won't Commit to Abiding by Court Orders?

This is why I have no reservations or remorse for openly referring to this administration as a rogue, lawless administration:

 

Link:  Mullin refuses to commit to following court orders for DHS - Live Updates - POLITICO

 

"Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin repeatedly refused Tuesday to commit to following court orders from judges who rule that the Department of Homeland Security is acting illegally.

In his first appearance on Capitol Hill since confirmation as secretary two months ago, the former Oklahoma Republican senator told lawmakers that DHS “will never break the Constitution, and we’re not going to break the law.” But Mullin also would not vow to abide by rulings from judges."

In other words, what Mullin is saying is saying to Americans is, "laws and courts for thee, not so much for we."

That is not the attitude of a government agency that is worth putting any amount of trust in.

And Mullins audacious statement that his ICE goons "will never break the Constitution" or "the law" is enough to make my blood boil.

Go tell that to Renee Good and Alex Pretti you ignorant shitheel, Markwayne.  Oh wait!  You can't tell them because your agency's goons murdered them in cold blood for exercising their constitutional right to protest injustice in their country, and so far to this day as far as we know, those murderers have gotten away scot-free with those killings.

So yeah - Markwayne Mullin can go pound sand in his MAGA nether regions.  The Democrats need to make the message clear to this goof and the masked goons who work for him - either commit to abiding by this nation's laws and courts, or your agency loses it's fucking funding.  Period.  End of discussion.

Drumpf Pal Busted For Lying About Fraternizing With the Russians is Back on Vlad's Payroll

Sigh.

I sigh because what we have here is yet another case of we dirty fucking liberal hippies having warned Americans about the compromised integrity of these MAGA apparatchiks who Drumpf has surrounded himself with.

Mike Flynn is another of Drumpf's many pardoned criminal pals.  There are so many of these scumbag charlatans in Drumpf's orbit, it's practically impossible to keep tabs on all of them.

Michael Flynn PLEAD GUILTY in 2017 to having lied to the FBI re: his contacts with Putin's Ambassador to the US.

Flynn openly admitted his guilt to lying about secret communications he was having with the Russians.  The traitorous piece of shit openly admitted that he was canoodling with an enemy country.  He got caught, plea-bargained his way out of prison by PLEADING GUILTY to the charges knowing quite likely that his good buddy and corrupt benefactor Drumpf would misuse the powers of his office to set his traitorous ass free, especially since those contacts with the Russians were at DonOld's behest.  

And of course, that is exactly what happened.  And now we've come full circle:

 

Link: MAGA world revolts as Trump's ex-national security adviser exposed as agent for Putin ally - Raw Story

 

"Some of Donald Trump's most loyal online supporters are pushing back against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser, after a report revealed he has registered as a foreign agent for a Bosnian Serb entity led by one of Vladimir Putin's closest European allies.

Scott McMahan, a conservative journalist who writes under the handle BiggerTruth and first reported the story roughly a month ago, confirmed Monday that Flynn has filed paperwork with the Justice Department's Foreign Agent Registration Act database on behalf of the Republic of Srpska, the Serb-dominated entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. The entity is led by Milorad Dodik, a Bosnian Serb politician widely described as Putin's most vocal ally in the Balkans. According to McMahan's reporting, Flynn is being paid $100,000 per month."   

 

Mike Flynn is back on Putin's payroll it appears.

And does anyone believe that Drumpf's thoroughly corrupted DOJ will investigate?

No, of course they won't.  Because it's not in the interest of either Drumpf or Putin to find out what kind of treasonous ratfucking work Mike Flynn is doing on behalf of the Russians for a cool $100k a month salary.

I stand by my oft-repeated observation that this administration, it's indecent leader, and the shady apparatchiks who populate it are the most corrupt administration in this nation's history.  Richard Nixon's crimes and corruption can't hold a candle to Drumpf and his MAGA administration's dirtiness.

Mencken's Prophesied 'Great and Glorious Day' Has Ceremoniously Arrived

Think of the trashiest white trash people you can think of, then think of people even trashier than that, and that is what America got when Drumpf and MAGA moved into our White House.

And it shows - just look at what they've done to the place:

But, but, but . . . Obama wore a tan suit once.

MAGA GOP Wants to Cancel Americans Who Do Not Approve Of Dear Leader's Iran War

If current polling is to be believed, and the numbers from the more reputable pollsters do seem to be in consensus at the moment, then the GOP is going to get drubbed in the November midterm elections and are likely going to lose control of both the House and Senate to the Democrats.

Part of the reason, aside from Drumpf himself, as to why most Americans are souring on the MAGA-hijacked Republican party is in large part due to asshole behavior like this from their members: 

 

Link:  Mockery abounds as GOP lawmaker says those who disagree with Trump should 'leave America' - Raw Story

 

"A GOP lawmaker argued on Monday that Americans who are unhappy with President Donald Trump's Iran war should leave the United States — prompting people to mock the remarks online.

Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC) was speaking to Newsmax during a live broadcast following reports that Iran had suspended talks with the U.S. after Israeli strikes and an increased military offensive in Lebanon, which Iran had set as a condition for any ceasefire.

Biggs claimed that Americans need to trust the president on what comes next with the ongoing conflict."

  

Umm... 

 

No, we absolutely do not "need to trust" a provably lying sack of shit like DonOld Drumpf when it comes to his plans for further American military involvement in Iran.

Drumpf didn't trust this country's high-level military and intel advisers when they told him that doing the Butch and Sundance thing with Bibi Netanyahu in Iran was a colossally fucking stupid idea.

DonOld didn't trust Congress, the American people's representatives enough to consult with them before launching American assets and troops alongside Netanyahu in Israel's religious war.

He didn't trust the American people enough to run the idea by them and ask for their views about involving the nation in a potential 'forever war.'

So why should it be mandatory for all of us to 'trust' Drumpf on Iran when he has willfully ignored the advice of wiser people on the matter, and completely ignored the views of Americans and their elected representatives in his decision-making process to take the country to war?

He hasn't earned that trust - at all.

These MAGA Republican reps who are wagging their fingers and warning us that if we don't like what Drumpf is doing in Iran that we should pack up and leave the country unmistakably shows them to be the anti-American, pro-authoritarian, cowardly skunks that they are, and it's shit like this that will be a big motivational factor for many voters to send MAGA a clear and unmistakable message in the voting booths this November.

DonOld's 'Great American State Fair' Devolves Into Just Another Self-Worshipping MAGA Rally

It was always Drumpf's intention to hijack the 250th anniversary of America's inception as a nation of free men to promote himself and his execrable, un-American MAGA fascism movement.

The dirty old, kiddie-diddling mobster attempted to pass off his 'Great American State Fair' as a non-partisan gathering to celebrate 250 years of American democracy by announcing a concert with several name acts on the bill.

The problem was that these musical artists who Drumpf announced would play at this event discovered pretty quickly that Drumpf and his MAGA apparatchiks were going to use them and their musical brands to promote himself and his MAGA ideology at this gathering, an event that was supposed to be non-partisan and for ALL Americans.

Once it became clear what Drumpf and his people were up to, eight of the nine music acts, with the exception of Vanilla Ice (loser), who Drumpf announced were going to be playing at his 'Great American State Fair' announced that they would not be playing at the event, and several of them issued public statements stating that Drumpf and his people essentially deceived them about what the event was going to be about and that it was the deciding factor for their decision to not participate: 

 

 Link:  Trump says he will headline fair on National Mall after artists drop out : NPR

President Trump has suggested that an event celebrating America's 250 birthday should instead be a Make America Great Again rally after many of the artists who were announced to perform dropped out.

The Great American State Fair, which is set to begin on June 25 on the National Mall, had featured artists such as Martina McBride, Morris Day and the Time, The Commodores and Poison's Bret Michaels — who have all since withdrawn from the lineup. 

McBride explained why she decided to not to be part of the fair, writing in a social media post she was presented with an opportunity to perform at "a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading."

"In my mind I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can. I saw it as just a bigger version of so many state fairs I have performed at over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special," McBride wrote in the post on Thursday night. "Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening." 

 

And of course, little Donny, being completely incapable of dealing with rejection like an adult, responded as the childish, self-aggrandizing jerk that he is:

 

"In a social media post on Saturday, Trump called the performers who backed away from the event "Third Rate" and said he will give a speech that will rally the U.S. "forward like I have done ever since being President!" Later on Saturday, Trump wrote in another social media post that the event should be canceled and replaced with a rally."

 

Essentially, after nearly all of the musical "guests" bailed on his 'Great American State Fair' concert, DonOld has a hissy fit and whines about the performers who dropped out, calling them "third rate" entertainers, which of course begs the question of why he would announce the engagement of "third rate" entertainers with such great fanfare to begin with.

So in a pique of indignant rage, DonOld  then says, "screw it,"and says that he's just going to go ahead and have a good old-fashioned MAGA klan rally with himself as the star attraction instead  as his way of 'honoring' a quarter of a millennium of existence of the United States of America, which btw is exactly what he had wanted to do from the beginning until the music acts fucked up his plan by backing out.

If the lying, crooked old gangster had just been up front from the beginning about what he was planning to do with this 'Great American State Fair' business buffoonery, he could have avoided the humiliation of rejection when all of these "third rate" musical artists told him to fuck off and that they wanted no part of his tainted plans.

But DonOld is DonOld, and taking 'no' for an answer like a reasonable adult is not a skillset that the conniving, filthy old, kiddie-diddling mobster has ever been in possession of.

A Serious Nation of Serious People Would be Seriously Considering the 25th Amendment Right Now

There is a perfectly legal, constitutional remedy for ending this madness.  But that remedy requires Americans of principle, honor, and decency to stand up and do the right thing by the nation and this nation's people.

Sadly, the United States Congress and Senate are devoid of such Americans and therefore the entire country is being forced to endure this:

 

Link:  Trump 'dementia' claims fly amid 'completely insane' posting spree: 'Nonstop nuttery' - Raw Story

 

"Donald Trump lit up Truth Social on Saturday afternoon with a stream of posts that left onlookers across the political spectrum questioning his state of mind, ranging from a drone port rendering on top of the White House to an AI image of himself appearing to blow his nose on an American flag.

Among the posts, Trump shared attacks on judges, criticisms of musical performers who bailed on his event, and a rendering of what he called a "DronePort" on the roof of his proposed White House ballroom. Regarding the latter, Bill Kristol, the veteran Republican commentator, noted the structure would also include a bunker underneath. "It's not just a childish extravagance," Kristol wrote. "It will be a kind of military encampment. All the more reason, obviously, for Congress to stop it."

Trump also posted a meme depicting Rep. Lauren Boebert and several other Republican lawmakers in a vehicle captioned "GET IN LOSER, WE'RE GOING LOSING" — this despite the fact that Boebert had recently pushed for the release of the Epstein files, a cause popular with the MAGA base.

Separately, Trump posted an AI-generated watercolor image of himself clutching the American flag to his face in a pose that critics immediately compared to using it as a tissue."

   

What's being reported here in this Raw Story article is just the tip of the lunacy iceberg with Drumpf's social media blitzkrieg not only yesterday, but these several weeks past as well.

I think DonOld being told by a federal judge that he has 14 days to remove his execrable family name from the facade of the Kennedy Center popped what few remaining, unclogged veins there are in his feeble brain, and we are witnessing the manifestation of his mental faculties breakdown play out on social media as a result.

I am thoroughly convinced that if more Americans paid closer attention to the bizarre and disturbed shit that Drumpf has been posting practically non-stop on his Chinese-funded 'Truth Social' site lately his low poll ratings would be significantly lower than they are right now.

I mean, get a load of this cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs blithering:

 

 

Bragging on social media about having 'aced' his fourth dementia exam should, in a sane world, be more than sufficient evidence to invoke the appropriate constitutional mechanisms to forcefully remove him from office.

Essentially, Drumpf has mentally devolved to the point of being nothing more than a demented internet troll.

Anybody who has as much free time on their hands to be blitzkrieg posting on social media like Drumpf does 24x7 certainly is not somebody who cannot possibly be burdened with the kind of life and death decision making work that might have a real-world impact on the lives of every single citizen of this country, you know, the kind of work that a psychologically fit president would be engaged in, amiright? 

All of which begs the obvious question then - who is really running the United States of America if Drumpf is spending all of his time golfing, watching TV, and sleeping through cabinet meetings during the day, and binge-posting unhinged craziness on social media all night long?

DonOld Seethes On Social Media Over His Kennedy Center Rejection - The Strait of Hormuz is Still Closed

Little Orange Nero is super-duper, big time upset that a federal judge declared the act of DonOld plastering his phony, toxic family name to the facade of the Kennedy Center building illegal, and ordered him to take it down.  

Check out this lengthy, hysterically butt-hurt diatribe he posted on his dumpy 'Truth Social' site late yesterday:

 

 

It's good to see that the American president has focused his attentions like a laser on issues that are oh so very important to average working Americans - you know - such as concert venue "renovations" and name changes, painting the floors of public D.C. park pools blue, and covering the Lincoln Memorial bronze horse statues with 23.75-karat gold leaf paint.  

And isn't it inspiring to see the hoary old gangster wasting taxpayer time and money raging at the courts over his perceived power to slap his name on any building he wishes, and battling other courts over the legality of tearing down the historic East room of the White House to build his 'big beautiful' gold-trimmed ballroom and dictator hideout bunker?

Not any less remarkable or noteworthy is DonOld's ambitious efforts to further the ongoing cover-up of his 15-year involvement with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and his ordered weaponizing of a now corrupted DOJ against his political enemies.

And I would be embarrassingly remiss if I failed to give honorable mention to the old Adderall snorting rapist for his audacity in constructing a hideous outdoor stadium on the White House lawn to stage a bloody UFC fight while hijacking the honoring of our nation's 250 years of existence and melding that historic anniversary celebration with his own execrable birthday festivities.

Meanwhile, Iran, the country that he and Bibi Netanyahu unilaterally attacked, currently has dumbass DonOld and the entirety of the world economy bent bare ass naked over a barrel with their closure of the Strait of Hormuz where 25% of the world's energy is exported from, all because DonOld stupidly involved America in that ill-advised (Bibi) attack on Iran.  

Iran has every reason to want to make Americans pay economically for that attack now and that payment is going to be devastatingly harsh for many in this country in due time.

The American POTUS is seriously demented.  He is demented to the point of being an imminent national security threat.

Every minute that passes with his presence in our American people's White House is one more minute closer to life-changing catastrophe for this country and people.

Sadly though - that rubicon may already have been passed with DonOld Dumbass involving us in Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'  Americans have yet to see the worst fallout from that colossally oafish, bungled decision, and the longer the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the more harsh that fallout is going to be for everyone except the uber wealthy.

Pouty POTUS Pouts About His Big Beautiful Name Being 86'd by the Law

He's such a pathological, hopelessly self-victimizing liar.  And pathetic beyond words.

The judge ruled on the letter of the law in the matter, and the letter of the law says that Drumpf had no legal basis whatsoever to just unilaterally slapping his name on the facade of the Kennedy Center without Congressional approval.  In other words, it was an unlawful act.

But as we all know, butthurt Donny can't handle rejection well, and so we get dissembling, mewling gibberish like this from the world's supposedly most powerful leader:

 

 

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

 

The greasy old charlatan's tiresome lie about the renovations was addressed in the prior post.

And have you ever heard the phrase, "doth protest too much?" Lol. The old orange gangster is really doing some serious whining here, imho.  

The Kennedy Center complex was built and dedicated to the memory of a past, assassinated American president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th POTUS of this nation.  

Drumpf had no fucking business defacing the venue's facade with his shithole family name to begin with without anyone's permission or input.  The federal judge agreed.

As to that '36 Member Board of Trustees which unanimously voted to add the name "TRUMP"' to the Kennedy Center, what DonOld conveniently neglects to mention is that he fired the entire original, responsible, and serious board of the Kennedy Center and installed a bunch of his sphincter-licking, scrotum-fondling MAGA lackeys who would blindly go along with whatever whims the dirty old dictator wannabe demanded.

Sigh... 

I guess, to make make one of my notoriously long-winded posts short for a change - go diddle yourself DonOld, instead of diddling some little girl.

Once Again Like Clockwork The Trump Name is Associated With an Illegal Act

How often do we have to endure this ridiculous exercise of watching Drumpf issue one of his 'executive order' edicts only to have the courts declare it ILLEGAL after the fact?

Case in point:

 

 

Link:  Trump's name must be removed from Kennedy Center, judge orders

 

President Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center, according to an order signed Friday by a D.C. district judge.

The big picture: The ruling is a hit to the president's effort to renovate the performing arts venue, which was scheduled to close later this year so work could begin. Friday's order also halted the closure.

What they're saying: "The Court has concluded that the Board overstepped its statutory bounds by unilaterally renaming the Kennedy Center after President Trump," U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper wrote in a 94-page ruling.

• "As stated at the outset, Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it."

 

First off, the claim in the article that Drumpf shut down the Kennedy Center because he had plans to "renovate" the building is utter horse shit and this media outlet Axios knows it, but who's keeping track of all the billionaire-owned, mainstream media misinformation that we're being exposed to these days to notice, amiright?  

Drumpf had not publicly expressed any intentions of performing "renovations" on the Kennedy Center prior to him deciding on a whim to ILLEGALLY slap his crooked, toxic family name on the venue's facade without consulting anyone, particularly Congress as he was required to do by LAW.

No, he shut down the Kennedy Center in a pique of childish anger after most major artists and acts canceled their scheduled dates for shows, and declined to play there anymore after the filthy old kiddie-diddling mobster ILLEGALLY put his name on the building.  No credible, decent artists want their names and artistic brands associated with a name that represents lying, cheating, stealing, coup-plotting treason, felony convictions, sexual assaults and rapes, Jeffrey Epstein and child rapes.  Get real.

What Drumpf did with the Kennedy Center wasn't much different than what he did when he issued all of those wildly nonsensical tariffs that were based on nothing but the whims of his own failed business acumen and probably some back channel input from his Russian handlers, only to have federal courts rule those tariffs ILLEGAL.

DonOld Drumpf is a lawless POTUS.

The enabling people in his regime are his criminal accessories at this stage. 

Every toadie in DonOld's adminstration had better start thinking of 'lawyering up' pretty quick when voters throw these criminal coddling, pedophile protecting, billionaire fellating MAGA Republicans out of congressional power this November, which current polls showing exactly that scenario increasingly likely to occur.
