Donald Trump's Brain Has Turned to Mush

Donald Trump has always said ridiculous, nonsensical things. But his gibberish is getting more bizarre.

During the first year of Covid-19, we all remember him standing at the podium, seriously suggesting that Covid would be gone completely in a few months. "I want the churches packed for Easter," he actually said when he was downplaying it and pretending it was just like having a little cold.

When thousands started dying, he suggested, in his expert medical opinion, that you should try injecting disinfectant to cleanse the lungs in one minute. He went on to speculate that getting a bright light inside the body would kill Covid. Next was the dangerous pseudoscientific suggestion of taking Ivermectin, a horse de-wormer. Doctor Trump also suggested taking malaria pills known as Hydroxychloroquine. 

In the last several days, though, his rapidly deteriorating mind has produced these gems that slipped, unfiltered, from that diseased brain right out of his mouth: "You have to have I.D. to buy a loaf of bread. "I'm driving over a road where it's almost all paper. And you know, you can see paper. I know paper. I know cans." I see that whales are washing up on shore and dying because of windmills."

He's had an irrational hatred for wind turbines, or windmills as he calls them, for quite some time, claiming the sound they produce can give you cancer.

Add to that his recent comments claiming that he, as president, should be able to assassinate any of his opponents and get away with it with total immunity. He has claimed he beat Barack Obama in 2016. Thinks Jeb Bush got us into Iraq. Said he wants to be dictator. Stated he wants to "terminate the Constitution." Called instant replay "fashionable mactified fortion," as you can see in the clip.

Fashionable mactified fortion

Just days ago he claimed Nikki Haley turned down thousands of National Guard members on January 6th, confusing her with Speaker Pelosi, as he's often claimed, pretending she had the power to call out the National Guard.  She didn't.

And during a deposition he recently looked at a picture of his rape victim, E. Jean Carroll, and said "that's Marla, Marla Maples," mistaking her for one of his ex-wives.

Putting aside his long list of crimes against America -- like inciting riots, trying to overturn the election he lost, scheming to send fake electors to seven states, stealing nuclear documents and war plans, committing financial fraud in NYC, defamation against election workers -- the dementia and decay of his diseased brain makes him ineligible for the most important job in the world.

Trump's Weak Iowa "Win"

 While the media is breathlessly touting Donald Trump's "blowout" in Iowa, it makes sense to look a little closer.

Iowa is a tiny state, but it's a very conservative, very rightwing, very white state. This is exactly the kind of state where Trump should've easily gotten 80% of the caucus votes. But he didn't, despite two-thirds of republicans there accepting, and swallowing whole, his Big Lie baselessly claiming he won the 2020 election but for the "fraud."

The fact is, Iowa had a very low turnout (15% of Republican voters), and only 51% of them picked Trump.

It had the smallest voter turnout in 25 years. 110,000 out of 2.5M voters showed up. Trump won about 51% of those 110,000 votes. 

In addition, Iowa is not known for picking winners. Huckabee, Santorum, and Canada's Raphael Cruz won primaries there before losing everything.

 All white Iowa and their Republican caucus does not in any way represent the USA.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back in court today (Tuesday) for his second trial in the sexual assault and defamation of author E. Jean Carroll.

Hunter Biden Played Republicans Like a Fiddle

For years, Republicans have attempted to paint President Joe Biden as the opposite of what he is -- a smart, experienced, compassionate leader.  Because Donald Trump has been impeached twice, arrested four times in four different jurisdictions, and will be tried in court for his 91 felonies, they think it gives them permission to investigate and/or impeach Biden on a tit-for-tat basis. Problem is, they have nothing on which to base their impeachment. It's just a fever dream. Joe Biden has been in politics for 50 years and hasn't been involved in any of the alleged scandals they're dying to pin on him. 

Enter Hunter Biden, the president's only living son. As you know, five years of investigations of his business activities have produced nothing that satisfies them.

Yes, Hunter had a serious substance abuse problem which he readily admitted to. Yes, he illegally owned a gun for 24 hours. And yes, he owed money to the IRS. But he paid back the delinquent taxes in full, including penalties and interest, more than two years ago. 

Because of his drug and money woes, Hunter accepted help from his father in keeping up his truck payments. At the end of 2018, Hunter made three payments of $1380 to his father to reimburse him, and then took over making his own payments.

That's it. That's all they've got on him. It's important to note that Hunter Biden has never been in politics and never received a government paycheck. During the days of these three repayments, Joe wasn't in government either.

Hunter was on the board of Burisma and other foreign companies, which is perfectly legal. Donald Trump and many others also do business around the world. That didn't stop rabid, desperate Republicans from alleging -- without a shred of evidence -- that Hunter operated in an illegal manner. And they claim that he funneled millions to Joe Biden, again without a shred of evidence.

Republican House Oversight Chairman James Comer is on a crusade to find something serious to pin on Hunter Biden while attempting to create a reason to impeach Joe Biden. Comer offered Hunter a choice of a public or private hearing. When Hunter agreed to a public hearing, Comer suddenly decided it must be done behind closed doors. Not being able to take YES for an answer, he tried to hold Hunter in contempt of congress, despite Hunter actually showing up in December to answer any and all questions. During their hearing on Wednesday, Jan 10, again Hunter showed up ready and willing to be questioned in public. This threw the Republican-run committee into chaos. 

They never expected Hunter to call their bluff and show up twice to be interrogated in public!

Grandstanding for the cameras, and hoping for a sound bite on Fox that night, Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene began ranting, claiming Hunter "had no balls" to show up and answer questions, despite him being right there in the room at the time.

Representative Jared Moskowitz (D) Florida destroyed Republicans' threats to hold Hunter in contempt for not showing up -- again, with Hunter right there in the hearing room -- by offering to vote with their nonsensical contempt charge, if they would enter into the public record the list of Republicans who actually did refuse to honor Congressional subpoenas themselves, and charge them with contempt. Republicans who ignored subpoenas include Scott Perry, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Of course they refused because that's what cowards do. Moskowitz even offered to end the hearing and swear-in Hunter Biden to hear his testimony right then and there. Again they refused.

Watch Moskowitz's response here.

Attempting to hold someone in contempt for refusing to attend a congressional hearing, despite him being in the room at the time, and refusing to hear his testimony that they are allegedly dying to hear shows it's all just theater. It means they're liars. It's just a show to impress their Biden-hating base.

Republicans All But Guaranteed Democrats Will Take the House in 2024

Congratulations to the House Republicans who finally elected a new Speaker! 

Yes, that's sarcasm.

Meet Mike Johnson of Louisiana. Never heard of him? No one has.

This is an unrecognizable, weak back bencher who has stated he 

• wants a nationwide abortion ban (despite two-thirds of Americans supporting abortion rights)
• is against LGBTQ Americans' rights
• supported the Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol
• voted against certifying the already-verified and counted 2020 election results
• voted to overturn the election
• is an anti-science climate denier
• is a far rightwing religious zealot.

Remember, after Speaker Kevin McCarthy was fired by his own party, and after they rejected Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, and Tom Emmer, Johnson ended up being their fifth choice.

Why did they finally get their shit together and vote for him? Probably because enough Republicans in purple districts that voted for Biden were getting disgusted and ready to compromise with Democrats to fill the Speaker job and, at the same time, protect their own chances of being re-elected.

Does this mean that the Republican-run House will finally get down to the business of legislating for the American people? Hah! That's a laugh. They haven't accomplished a single thing for Americans since they began running the house ten months ago, and certainly that will not change now. You can bet on it.

Under Speaker Pelosi's powerful leadership, the House (along with the Senate and the White House) has enjoyed monumental accomplishments including

• the strongest economic recovery of any nation in the G7
• Medicare negotiating prescription drug prices
• capping monthly insulin costs at $35
• climate action
• medical aid to American veteran victims of burn pits
• historic job growth
• historic unemployment
• bringing back U.S. semiconductor manufacturing
• infrastructure improvements
• rallying the world to defend Ukraine and Israel, two American allies attacked by terrorists.

The constant chaos, infighting, extreme agenda against the wishes of the American people, and total lack of legislative accomplishments will all but guarantee Democrats taking the House back November 2024.

Trump Is Clearly Senile, Delusional, and has Dementia

Just within the last few days, Donald Trump's cognitive abilities, memory, and coherence seem to have drastically changed, and not for the better.

He suggested on his Fake Twitter platform, that General Mark Milley should be executed. He stated that Milley's phone call assuring China we weren't about to go to war with them -- right after Trump's violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol -- was "an act so egregious that in times gone by the punishment would've been DEATH." (His emphasis)

Trump has never held the American military in high regard. Two years ago he called General Milley a dumbass, and refused to visit an American cemetery in Paris because the Marines buried there were "suckers and losers."

Trump stated during a South Carolina rally that he beat "military person Jeb Bush" in the primaries, and that Jeb started the War in Iraq. Fact is Jeb was never in the military, was never president, and therefore did not start the War in Iraq.

See the video here. 

He also recently claimed he beat President Obama in 2016. He certainly did not. President Obama didn't run in 2016. His opponent was Hillary Clinton. And he incoherently claimed that either Obama or Biden would "lead us into World War Two." Yes, he said "two," while claiming President Biden is "cognitively impaired."

This is just more of his constant projecting -- a defensive strategy wherein a person attributes their actions or qualities onto others.

Examples: He claims President Biden is cognitively impaired, yet he couldn't remember who he ran against in 2016, who started the Iraq War, how many World Wars have occurred, and that Jeb Bush was never president. 

He projects his many attempts to steal the 2020 election onto Joe Biden. His own attorney general and many top government officials stated it was the most secure, free and fair election in history. Yet Trump -- not Biden -- tried to steal it by pressuring Pence to stop certification of the votes, by demanding Georgia "find" 11,780 votes for him, by colluding with Eastman and others to send fake electors to seven states, and by sending violent rioters to the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the certification.

Also this week, while Republicans and #QanonFreaks were gloating over Hunter Biden's indictment for illegally possessing a gun for a whole 11 days while using narcotics, Trump either bought a gun or attempted to buy one while under indictment for 91 felonies. Federal law prohibits anyone under indictment from receiving a firearm. 

THIS is an Actual Witch Hunt

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the phrase "witch hunt" means the searching out and deliberate harassment of those (such as political opponents) with unpopular views.

For years, the twice-impeached, 4 times arrested and indicted, court-determined rapist, convicted sexual predator, with 91 pending felonies -- Donald Trump -- has used that term to describe investigations into his long list of crimes against America.

Here's why he's not the victim of a witch hunt:

• The whole world saw him send a violent mob to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, saying "if you don't fight like hell you won't have a country anymore." 
• The world saw dozens of boxes of stolen documents and nuclear secrets piled up around the toilet in his bedbug-infested hotel. 
• We heard him demand Georgia officials invent 11,780 non-existent votes to overrule the voters of that state. 
• We've seen the evidence of the plot between him and his henchmen to send fake electors to seven states, thereby nullifying millions of votes in those states. 
• We've seen the hush money check to a porn star and IRS documents proving he radically changed the value of his properties to suit his needs at any moment. 

These are real crimes being charged based on physical evidence.

Never satisfied with being repeatedly humiliated on the world stage, Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has decided to humiliate himself once again. He has rolled over and dutifully obeyed the most insane members of his Conspiracy Caucus, and decided to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. 

This is an actual witch hunt. There is absolutely no evidence of any crime whatsoever committed by the president. But McCarthy is beholden to crackpots like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others to whom he owes his speakership. They're controlling his puppet strings. In order to keep his speakership and not get booted at any moment (which is what he agreed to), he must bow to their whims.

Their simpleminded logic states that since their frontrunner (Trump) has been impeached for clearly obvious reasons, their opponent (Biden) must be impeached as well for retribution. This is as childish as it gets. "Oh yeah? You impeached our guy? Now we'll impeach yours."

Will this get anywhere? No. But it will rile up the Conspiracy Caucus, get more rubes to write more checks, and allow Trump -- if he's indeed their nominee -- to stand on stage with President Biden in debates and claim "you've been impeached, too."

What to "Never Forget" on September 11

When the planes flew into the World Trade Center towers, almost 3,000 people were killed. Some died instantly; others jumped out of windows; still others suffered for days before their lives ended.

This was a horrific tragedy by anyone's definition. It should never be forgotten.

Also to be remembered: the George W. Bush administration used this deadly event as an excuse to start a war in the Middle East it had been itching to begin for a long time. Saudi Arabia, which furnished 15 of the 19 terrorists, was let off the hook. 

Instead, Iraq was attacked. Dick Cheney's company, Halliburton, made a fortune on the war. Colin Powell was the mouthpiece for the war in which thousands were killed for no reason. George W. Bush, who froze while reading My Pet Goat to elementary school students, was hailed as a hero and re-elected in a landslide. 

During the Trump administration, Donald Trump's son-in-law took over $2,000,000,000 from Saudi Arabia, and for what reason we have yet to find out. 

Donald Trump, the twice-impeached, four-times arrested and indicted, convicted sexual predator who a judge proclaimed a rapist, lied about "losing hundreds of friends" on 9/11, and claimed to see televised Muslims dancing in the street in celebration, despite no such footage existing. 

As if that wasn't enough, he claimed he was in the streets that day helping clean up after the attack. Again, with every news agency and hundreds of film crews, no such evidence exists.

Worse yet, he bragged that now he owns the tallest building in New York City when he called into WWOR Channel 9.

This guy is running again for president of the United States.
