Highest inflation in the G7. Explosive diarrhea. Can't afford meat. Can't afford gas. Can't afford rent and sure as hell can't afford to buy a house. The country is at war, again, still, whatever the term is for this shitshow. Farms in foreclosure because farmers can't sell their crops, can't afford seeds, can't even get fertilizer. Government goons kicking in doors without a warrant, detaining people without due process, murdering citizens in the street. Rich getting rich and the poor getting poorer.
And Trump goes on TV to complain about imaginary fraud in an election six years ago where the only provable fraud was Trump himself attempting to extort a state into "finding" him enough votes to win.
That's where we're at.
Highlights include:
- Trump thinks mail-in ballots are totally corrupt. But he himself along with his family vote by mail-in ballot every year.
- Trump says the 2016 election and the 2024 elections that put him in office were fine, but the 2020 election where he lost was corrupt. Obama was president in 2016, Biden was president in 2024, TRUMP was president for the alleged corrupt 2020 election. Trump is literally saying the only corrupt elections were under his watch.
- Trump says he ordered certain intelligence documents to be declassified and uploaded online to prove his claims. Literally NONE of those documents prove ... well, anything. Not a single bit of the "evidence" would stand up in a court of law, even under a judge appointed by Trump. He might as well have referenced YouTube conspiracy videos.
- Trump says because of "the Deep State" his own intelligence service hid from him the fact that China was trying to influence our elections. Except Trump's own national security expert, Miles Taylor, who served as DHS Chief of Staff in Trump's first term went online last night after Trump's speech to remind Trump that the Intelligence Community, including Taylor personally, briefed Trump EXTENSIVELY on that very threat not once but repeatedly over several years beginning in 2018 in the lead-up to the 2020 elections. There are records of those meetings. And, ironically, one of the documents released by Trump has a section that specifically notes China targeted Biden's campaign, not Trump's.
- Trump claims there are 250,000 non-citizens on voter rolls. Given that many states, including red states, refused to cooperate with Trump's various election investigation by refusing to hand over their voter rolls, it's hard to determine where Trump got that number from other than the obvious "out of his ass." And in fact, Trump's own government's sources categorically refute that number. There is no record of any non-citizen voting in our elections, certainly not in any significant volume. Those few that attempted to do so were caught and prosecuted.
Even Fox News wasn't buying it.
Again, this is a president who has confused "political asylum" with "insane asylum" and who just this week confused "transistors" for "transgenders" when ranting about the manufacture of microchips. This is a guy who thinks windmills cause cancer and who once gave a bizarre unhinged speech about electric boats and sharks. This is a guy who just last week claimed he actually spoke to Teddy Roosevelt and joked about having a "threesome" with his sons.
What I'm saying here is that maybe this guy is nuts.
Maybe he's a self-involved narcissist who is suffering from increasing dementia who spends all day imagining persecution to make himself feel better about being such an insecure louse of a human being and his utter humiliation at being defeated by someone he considers inferior.
I'll say this though: Remember all those QAnon people who were absolutely convinced JFK Jr. staged his own death in 1999 by faking being an inexperienced pilot who should never have been flying over water at night, and how he was going to miraculously return as Trump's VP in 2021 and when he didn't they still show up every year in Dallas all glassy-eyed and expectant to await the return of Republican Jesus?
I'll bet they loved every word of Trump's speech last night.

Pretty much spot on.
Other than being much too polite to the malignant narcissist and flaming idiot.
Hopefully his party will continue to hold the line on his Voter Suppression "Save America" legislation. Not confident about that however.
The sheeple need their sucking time.
I want to thank the Criminal President for confirming Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election on behalf of the Criminal Candidate.
This "we won or they cheated" anti-American, debunked, destabilizing, undermining, and denial of elections bullshit needs to be rejected, shunned, and shut down for the good of the country.
Unfortunately this won't happen until we all see the "big beautiful obituary", the sooner the better. His bullshit lies need to be buried along with him.
Correction: the last line should have been The sheeple need their suckling time. Auto spell check perhaps?
Jon Ossof:
“Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.”
Only when the people exercise it. Something many simply don't take the time to do. Unfortunately.
He showed no evidence of voter fraud, absolutely none.
Let's remember the 2020 elections. The GOP was in charge of the Senate. Conservatives had a SCOTUS majority. Trump was the president. If there was fraud, how did all of that happen with him in charge?
Time and time again when pressed for, you know, actual evidence, his administration and ppl like ex Mayor of New York Giuliani could not produce any and at one point, even admitted in court, they "had no evidence".
Were foreign governments actively trying to influence our elections? Yes, and that was the Dems point about the 2016 elections. But POTUS Trump said that was all a hoax.
So here's where we're at...
In 2016 when Obama was president, Trump said charges of foreign involvement in the the election were a hoax, it did not happen. But... when he was president in 2020 there was fraud and foreign involvement.
Then in 2024, when Biden was president and Trump won, there was no fraud.
But now that he's president again, there will be fraud.
Can anyone see a thread?
He is on every day complaining about non existent trivial this and that. I'd prefer a root canal than watch that guy give an "Important Prime Time" speech.
A disgrace to his country and his species.
According to Trump, the only time there was election fraud was when he was the president!!!
Ya gotta give him credit for having a remarkable ability for keeping people focused on and incessantly talking about problems that, well, really are no problem are all. And, at the same time doing absolutely nothing to correct real problems that actually affect people's lives and well-being.
John Solomon, a member of Trump’s election task force, confessed that there is no proof of election fraud in the last three elections.
Can -FJ/JC tell us who won the 2020 election NOW?
I adore Jim Wright aka StoneKettle. I learned about his blog back in the day (defunct mostly now) when Palin burst onto the political scene. He is Old Military, knows what he knows, and isn't shy about yeeting folks when they present opinions as facts.
I have a new vision for our current POTUS, one that came to me as I listened to parts of his tantrum. My thought is the Dems sweep the midterms and are able to implement their plan to impeach the President only he's declared mentally unfit to stand trial.
Instead, like his father, he's shuffled into some sort of memory assisted living arrangement. As I've learned about dementia there are times where you know you are losing yourself and there are times where you don't remember that you can't remember. He will die knowing he has no power and is no longer relevant.
His people? I suggest The Hague as international laws were not only broken but were ignored and publicly dismissed. Unless WeThePeople hold everyone accountable there will be nothing to prevent them from trying these shenanigans again.
Even Fox News knows Trump is a crackpot. During their three hour morning news show, “Fox & Friends”, not only did they not cover his prime time speech last night, they didn’t even bother to mention it.
He is not a crackpot but a threat to the US. His antics are of the rails and someone needs to reel him in. If the democrats start impeachment proceedings now by the time they are the majority they can vote.
Was there election fraud on both sides, of course there was there always is. Was it enough to make a difference, no it never is, unless you are in Chicago
And rest assured the authoritarian minded control freaks of thr American capital class will raise its ugly head again if it is beat down. It ALWAYS has.
Well Skud... like many, you are asserting facts that are not in existence. Here's the proven number of cases of actual voter fraud since 2000 covering 7 federal elections... are you all ready for it?
99.
Not 100, but 99. That's according to the most detailed accounting we have, from the conservative SAVE Act supporting Heritage Foundation, which even multiple AI systems cite as accurate.
That's 99 cases of intentional fraud out of 938 million votes cast in the corresponding presidential elections.
Conclusions... Anyone who believes there is a voter fraud epidemic or a problem in the US is not understanding the facts, or is an idiot.
Perception of a problem, is not a problem. A potential for a problem, is also not a problem. People believing there is a problem, absent actual evidence, now that is a problem.
How much money will it cost to limit mail in voting to one day, as many conservatives want, to change ID requirements, as many conservatives want, and to get all 150 million paper ballots counted in one day, again as many conservatives want?
Just because they feel there is a problem of fraudulent voting?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think 99 votes out of 938 million, or approximately 1 fraudulent vote out of every 9.48 million votes cast since 2000 is pretty dang good.
Again, can someone, anyone at all, tell me what problem the SAVE Act will solve?
Anyone who comes up with an idea to impose tariffs on wildfire smoke is by definition, a crackpot!!
Possumlady
Well, there is one thing we should view positive coming out of the trump regime. And that is allowing Turkey to secure F-35 fighter jets. Turkey, with the largest and most powerful army in the region can then become the policeman against the hegemony of the butchering genocidal evils of Zionist Israel.
On that one I give trump an A+.
Dave, I said there was fraud so that proves facts are in existence. One fraud vote is fraud so your response is inaccurate but I also said there was not enough to change any results. I
Conclusions... Anyone who believes there is a voter fraud is non existent or a problem in the US is not understanding the facts, or is an idiot. If you believe there was only 99 fraudulent votes then you believe politicians are honest.
Why are you so opposed to providing proof of citizenship and not banning but limiting mail in ballots.
Good old Skud.
There's nothing he won't swallow from FOX (R) and other pro-Trump media.
And there's nothing he accepts from actual journalists.
This gullibility is why the country is in this mess.
skud: Part of the problem.
For sure. Ignorance lead by ignorance. The republican and MAGA playbook.
