What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words, terrorism? 9/11? ISIS? The Taliban? While these examples are certainly just, they don’t always represent terrorism in its entirety. Dan Brown said, “History is always written by the winners”. Stereotypes and generalizations often cause the public...

Former President Trump ordered the Pentagon to release all of its information on “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP) within 18 days in his last coronavirus relief bill in December 2020. More inexplicable sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) will be released for public scrutiny in June — including a UFO that broke...
There’s going to be a lot of swearing in this. Let me begin: What the fucking fuck? A woman accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol asked a federal judge for permission to leave the country on vacation later this month – and got it. …...
There will be plenty of memorials to the Trump reign, but the most significant one will be the betrayal of democracy. It raises the matter of Washington Monument sized piles of information stolen from the US government. But maybe he’ll be remembered for promising some of his advisors that “he will refuse...
Trump sells off his private helicopter after losing the election, so perhaps he’s cash-short, even as he’s running another grift, claiming he’d run again in 2024. However, there’s other shenanigans possible in the remaining 70 days, including a small-scale international military action that in itself could cause a continuing problem...
Count every vote. #CountEveryVote x Remember that America is a democracy. Every vote deserves to be counted, no matter what Trump and Republicans say https://t.co/HcHI6D5t0N— Barbara Malmet (@B52Malmet) November 3, 2020 x #BREAK Election eve and Twitter has labeled a Trump tweet as misleading. Removed ability for tweet to be retweeted....
Show Up and Vote. There’s only one more day of poorly fashioned shtick to free-ticket crowds, of whom at least 700 have died at super-spreader rallies. Uncounted ballots should be the media framing for the next weeks. That’s why media figures should emphasize percentages of uncounted ballots. Ordinarily, as votes are counted,...
Spin the wheel of presidential absurdity! Where will it land today? Let’s see. Nukin’ hurricanes, border moat, injecting disinfectant, dry-humping the flag, windmill cancer, invisible planes … and today it’s … ordering malts during a highly classified intelligence briefing! Politico: President Donald Trump was in the middle of receiving a highly classified...
The stupid is always stronger with these people (John Fugelsang) The president is outright lying right now on Rush’s show, saying we have a cure for COVID. x Trump starts by saying he “jumped” on the invite to do this rally because Rush's audience is so large. Then he falsely...
DHS is drafting its annual threat assessment report, and Politico got hold of the draft: DHS draft document: White supremacists are greatest terror threat White supremacists present the gravest terror threat to the United States, according to a draft report from the Department of Homeland Security. Two later draft versions...
Rutherfraud B. Trump’s second term will doom any third Reconstruction, but before then, military ceremonies prop up his uses of the armed forces in political campaign stunts. Bringing cadets back to campus was only designed for another IMPOTUS* photo-op, and some self-congratulations: For the first time in 70 years, we established...
The daily WH brief hosted by IMPOTUS is now becoming a Real Housewives show in the absence of campaign rallies and chopper talk. More whining about the press verging into intoning his complaints about the media, including Trump flirting with the OAN reporter. The reality is that new or complementary therapies won’t...
For the umpteenth time, Donald Trump urges you to join him in his jaw-dropping ignorance: x Trump learns that tens of thousands of Americans die of the flu every year, insists nobody knew that. https://t.co/6qEFy5uMwi— Seth Masket (@smotus) March 3, 2020 TRUMP: “Over the last long period of time, the...
It was the same thing, Trump stands with the Russians and fails to acknowledge accountability for the revenge tour. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta again traded verbal blows with President Donald Trump during a news conference in New Delhi on Tuesday. The fiery exchange saw Acosta tell Trump that CNN’s “record on...
I couldn’t agree more! On Wednesday, presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) unveiled a new plan to fight disinformation, aiming to stem the effect of the Russian troll campaigns that plagued the 2016 election. In particular, Warren proposes harsher laws against spreading misinformation for the purpose of voter suppression, as...

The Raging War Boner Party is at it again. They just can’t stop getting us involved in Middle Eastern wars based on false pretenses, the little rascals. For the past three years we’ve had to deal with numerous nauseating Golf of Ton-King incidents, but now we’re back to the banal, garden-variety Gulf...
How so tried are we of the crap coming from the Orange Emperor IMPOTUS. As the House voted on articles of impeachment against President Trump this week, US stocks climbed despite the President’s warning that “they would crash.” x If they actually did this the markets would crash. Do you think it...
Since the beginning of the year, Trendency has been tracking the views and opinions registered voters hold when it comes to the impeachment of President Donald Trump. This was not a question we asked very often, since there was very little movement among voters on this question throughout most of...
Donald Trump praised a dog named Conan today for “his” role in the successful raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It could have been a sweet moment remembered fondly by all those who’ve somehow forgotten Trump is a steaming pile of tauntaun carcass who has never cared about a sentient being...
Unlike the President, I am big enough to say congratulations. Mr. Trump, thank you for being in office when one of the most hideous men in history was taken out by American forces. Thank you to the Kurds, who provided the intelligence, the fortitude and the blood that kept people...
Donald J. Trump is his own al-Baghdadi Bob. General Gaslight’s bone spur bloodlust for oil kills the head of ISIS, but helps recruiting for Al-Q in the Global War on Terror… “as though you were watching a movie”. Trump was actually still playing golf during the raid. Here's the moment: Trump downplays the...
I hope the news reports are quickly verified, and we can finally declare Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead. He ordered the enslavement of Yazidi girls, threw homosexuals off of buildings, and brutally tortured and massacred the local populace. I’ve wanted him dead for many years. If the initial reports are accurate, then...
Considering the use of a self-detonating vest, let’s cut back on the Adderall, and hold my beer. If the Baghdadi rumor is true, I guarantee you that at his press conference Trump will: 1) Say "I got him" or "I killed him"2) Say "Obama couldn't get him, but I did"...
Individual-1 declares “victory for America”. Ethnic cleansing gets a pass as Russia and Turkey get what they want. Trump revels in mentioning blood and casualties. Then jabbers about securing the US border by deterring refugees. Trump: "Let someone else fight over this long, bloodstained sand." (This is a fertile, non-sandy...
Trump had a Cabinet meeting today and said more nonsense, repeating his campaign rally talking points, as well as using the Cabinet meeting to make other announcements. This is the Pool report (#4-10). “You people with this phony Emoluments Clause,” Date: October 21, 2019 at 11:52:51 AM EDT Subject: Pool Report #4...
Diplomatic sources in DC spoke to Richard Engel of NBC news on the ethnic cleansing of Kurds in Syria and the ramifications for our country. It would be nice to see Richard on the MSNBC shows flush the story out, particularly on TRMS. Wow, just wow. x US officials tell...

OK. White guy here stepping into a racial issue: police shootings of unarmed black men. According to Politico, Julian Castro has “blindsided” Pete Buttigieg over accepting a donation from an infamous character in Chicago, a man by the name of Steve Patton. For those of you who don’t know Steve...
I’ve never served in the military. I grew up in a strict household under my Dad and went to private Catholic schools were there was always some authority figure bearing down. Therefore, the last place I wanted to be was in the military. As time has gone by though, I...
So Donald Trump hires only the best people, and yet he regularly and viciously insults nearly all of them on the way out the door. According to several accounts of Trump’s Velveeta meltdown in the White House yesterday — during which he called Nancy Pelosi a “third-rate politician” — Trump...
There’s a Beto counter-rally (above) about 14 miles away from the Trump rally in Dallas at the American Airways Center (image below). At the Trump rally there are more than a few riffs on today’s craziness with Turkey and #Trumpeachment Daniel Dale tweets the fact-checks below. This is the American...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. The EU ambassador agreed to testify against Trump in...
That Donald Trump betrayed America’s Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS should come as no surprise; Trump betrays everyone sooner or later. But Trump’s treachery in codifying Turkey’s ethnic cleansing of the Kurds across the Syrian border is different in kind and degree. After all, agreeing with President Erdogan...
The Trump meltdown seems not to have had much effect, other than enhancing Speaker Pelosi’s image with women as Gallup polls a majority in favor of impeachment and removal. So much Republican cowardice, especially in the US Senate, as #Trumpeachment continues. There could be an actual breaking point, even as history...
From now on, anyone going on a rant about how they are pro-Trump because they are “Christian” and “pro-life” are getting sent these photos by me—directly and with no warning. Why? Because they are responsible for supporting this carnage. I decided not to show these four photos directly in the...
Yes, but what were the Kurds wearing when Turkey invaded? That’s what I want to know. x “It's not our problem,” Trump says in Oval Office of Turkey's invasion into Syria. He adds that the Kurds are “not angels.” Also, he says this: “They've got a lot of sand over...
The moral depth of these people is breathtaking. On Monday, Lara Trump — who’s married to Donald Trump’s fourth-favorite tragic mistake — appeared on Fox News at Night. The show’s host, Shannon Bream, asked her what she thought of a New York Times story (“Trump Followed His Gut on Syria,...
Trump has now made threats against Turkey, having tried to bluff Erdogan and failed, again, as Axios reports. Unfortunately, Trump cannot erase a crisis of his own making with initiatives that will take weeks to implement while people die. This raises more questions about conversations between Trump and Erdogan especially...
This debacle continues as Trump claims he’s in favor of world peace, likely because he “lost” the Nobel prize to someone who brokered actual peace. Even more likely is that Trump’s holdings in Turkey were threatened and he was given a signal that this withdrawal would be favorable to Putin. This is shaping...
Welcome to consensus reality, Rep. Kinzinger! Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, has at last seen what any non-cult member with eyes realized long ago: Donald Trump is a weak, whiny poseur who acts tough but has the gravitas of a rarefied mouse fart. Appearing on Face the Nation...
The reports on the ethnic cleansing of the Syrian Kurds — and that is what Turkey is doing — are heartbreaking. Supposedly, there is real anger among Senate Republicans about Trump’s betrayal of the Kurds, but what is not getting reported is the inadequate response from those supposedly outraged Republicans: economic sanctions...
The predicted bloodbath unfolds. Wapo does an excellent summary of the current situation. x Turkish state-backed media hails a âÂÂsuccessful operationâ to âÂÂneutralizeâ an unarmed 35-year old woman working to unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds in NE Syria. Ms. Hevrin Khalef was reportedly dragged from a vehicle and shot to...
I despise Marc Thiessen. He is an inept, supercilious, illogical Trump defender-at-all-costs who gets to write op-ed’s for the Washington Post twice a week, probably so they can claim “balance.” As a representative of the Trumpists, he is doing them no favors with his easily disassembled distortions. But when I...
Trump is at the Minneapolis Target Center tonight for yet another campaign rally. Below is the Daniel Dale tweet thread in anticipation of another even more stupid Trump statement. It is unbearable to put up with such repetition of falsehoods, but there’s always that hope of some ad-libbed idiocy “><p...
