Man Who Plotted a Coup of the US Accuses Former POTUS of Plot to Kill Him

So this occurred this past week and the collective yawn of the valueless corporate media in this country was utterly deafening:

Link:  Trump claims Butler assassination attempt was a 'Democrat Plot' without showing evidence - ABC News

"President Donald Trump alleged on Tuesday that the 2024 assassination attempt on him in Butler, Pennsylvania -- which killed one person and wounded two others -- was a "Democratic Plot" aimed at removing him from the election. 

The president blasted the FBI under former President Joe Biden and said former FBI Director Christopher Wray, who Trump nominated during his first term, "should pay a price" for the investigation.

"This was all a Democrat Plot, to get me out of the Election, that failed. Dirty Cop Christopher Wray should pay a price for the way he handled this assassination attempt, and certainly for the things he said," Trump posted."

The sitting President of the United States of America has accused his predecessor, former President Joe Biden of conspiring with then FBI Director Chris Wray, whom Drumpf himself had appointed to that position, of orchestrating the purported (a whole other discussion) assassination attempt of himself in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024.

Ffs.

There is truly no bottom to Drumpf's ability to make an utter ass(hole) of himself publicly in an attempt to further warp the minds of his MAGA cultists as he desperately clings to the levers of power of the American presidency.

And as far as our new billionaire-owned "news" media landscape goes, what a colossal failure of these so-called news organizations to just completely blow this story off.

If Joe Biden had accused Donald Trumpf of conspiring to kill him in 2021 after Drumpf's January 6th coup attempt, I'm pretty sure that would have been around the clock, hysterical news coverage from all of the major "news" outlets.

But this gets to the heart of just how unfathomably insane this whole timeline of the era of Drumpf has become.  An American president accusing another American president of an assassination "plot."

This tiresome insanity of the dishonorable era of Drumpf & MAGA ends when enough Americans finally decide it's enough, and the opportunity to do that is this November's midterm elections. 

Make a plan.

Vote early.

Get to the polls.

Do what we all know needs to be done.

Kick the MAGA Republicans out of power and do it decisively.

Put an end to Drumpf's reign of psychotic terror, end the Iran war idiocy, impeach, convict, and remove the rapidly metastasizing cancer that has taken ruinous root in the American presidency.

The Republican Party Cannot Bullshit and Lie Their Way Out of Drumpf's Tragic Foolishness

The holidays are coming up and that means it's time for Republican operatives to dust off their hoary old playbook of disingenuous arguments to deflect attention away from their party's corruption and massive governing failures:

Link:  Post by @atrupar.com — Bluesky

This is how you can tell that the Republican party has no plans to extricate the US from Drumpf's disastrous war in Iran, and that they are fully aware that their party's failed governance of the country has resulted in economic hardship for most Americans while enriching the bank accounts of multi-millionaires and billionaires including the multiple bank accounts of the Trump crime family members.

I mean, it's pretty telling when you go on national TV to promote your party's platform and all that you can come up with is to peddle laughable claims that Democrats want to eliminate Thanksgiving and the 4th of July.  That level of cynical desperation tells me that you and your party have absolutely zero ideas on how to address the myriad of real-world, serious issues that are facing the United States and the American people right now.

Vote these Republican clowns and grifters out of office in November.  Kick their execrable, corrupt and cowardly asses to the curb once and for all.

Someone Stole DonOld's 'Frozen Strawberries' and He's Losing What Remains of His Tiny Mind Over It

This unhinged screed by the President of the United States of America is all that is left of an increasingly unwell mind:

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

Drumpf is entering the flailing 'Captain Queeg' phase of his execrable presidency and for those of you too young to remember the reference, here's what I mean:

I continue to wonder, in utter futility I'm sure, what more exactly has to happen with this "fake news" screeching maniac before anyone in the Republican leadership finds enough patriotic courage and decency within themselves to finally at long last stand up and declare that Donald Trump is unfit for the office he presently occupies and is trashing, and is himself the most significant, actual national security threat that is endangering every man, woman and child in this country?

The Deepening Crisis of the American White House Being Occupied by a Brainsick Cult Figure

He's as mad as the proverbial fucking hatter:

Turns out it isn't a parody.  He actually posted this on his 'Truth Social' account this morning.

Seriously folks.  What are we doing here when it's clear that the person with control of the nation's military forces and nuclear arsenal is a raging, dangerous sociopath who is manifestly unfit for the presidency?

The people who continue to prop up this madman clearly do NOT have the best interests of the United States and the American people in mind with their continued loyalty to the felonious old kiddie diddling traitor, and it's long past time that the terrible wrong of allowing this demented charlatan to come to power be righted.

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.
