Donald Trump went off on a raving diatribe during a Monday Palm Beach, Florida press conference, claiming he left the country in perfect shape when he left office in 2021, right after his disastrous handling of COVID and an insurrection.
Demented Donald wears so much make-up he looks like the logo from Red Devil paints.
Nothing is ever Trump's fault in his maggot-nfested brain.
TRUMP: Like, out of nowhere came the China virus.
Fox and Friends host Ainsley Earhardt gushed over a new Fox News poll, elated that somehow RFK Jr. is going to eradicate autism and cancer in our children because he's interested in our foods.
I kid you not.
"The Fox News poll is pretty, it's obvious who we like, we're all excited about him," Earhardt spouted.
Conservatives would like nothing better than for the public to forget the appalling attack on our nation's Capitol on Jan 6 at the direction of Donald Trump. Probably the most profoundly stupid conspiracy theory is that Antifa was behind the attempted coup even though Joe Biden won the election.
Rapey former Fox personality Pete Hegseth enters the chat via KFiles' Andrew Kaczynski:
President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, justified the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack and spread baseless conspiracy theories claiming the initial break-in was a false flag operation carried out by leftist groups disguised as Trump supporters.
In comments made immediately after the riot and in the days and weeks leading up to it, Hegseth also amplified false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, a narrative that fueled the violence at the Capitol that day.
Hegseth's remarks are among a number of controversial statements he's made related to national security issues, including suggesting US troops should be deployed in response to domestic riots, endorsing waterboarding as an interrogation tactic, opposing women serving in combat roles and saying that gay people being allowed to serve openly in the military reflected a "Marxist" agenda.read more
When Pete Hegseth visited senators on Capitol Hill to lobby for the job of Secretary of Defense, he was escorted by a security guard with a dark episode in his past. Via the New York Times:
The guard, a former Army Special Forces master sergeant named John Jacob Hasenbein, left the military after a 2019 training event in which witnesses said he beat a civilian role player — kicking him, punching him and leaving him hogtied in a pool of his own blood.
Oh, come on.
Biographer and journalist Walter Isaacson told CNBC’s Squawk Box earlier today that CEOs contributing to Trump's inaugural events is kowtowing and offering up payoffs to treasonous Trump.
During a lengthy interview, CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him about this new development.
SORKIN: A different question for you, Walter, which is we've now seen a whole number of CEOs go down to Mar-a-Lago to have dinner with the president.
Fox was discussing the school shooting in Madison on Monday, and they brought in their "expert," former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro. It would be an understatement to say that moron Mauro was rather nonchalant about the whole thing, saying that it was just "a fact of life" and that all we could do is pray for the victims:
"You know, it's this story again," Mauro opined.
