THIS HAPPENED

 

Can anyone give me one legitimate reason for the Trump administration to bar this man from coming into the US for the purpose of refereeing World Cup soccer games?

"The World Cup is supposed to bring the global community together in a celebration of sport and diversity. The Trump regime has absolutely ruined it for millions of fans around the world by injecting their racist, fascist ideology into an event that celebrates the exact opposite." --Truth and Accountability Project

Details of Artan's nightmare immigration journey revealed 

"Per the New York Times, Artan endured an 11-hour immigration interview. He was then moved to a separate holding cell and detained for several more hours before being placed on a return flight to Istanbul in Turkey. 

Speaking to the same publication, Artan insisted he 'had the right papers and everything' required for entry into the US."

Infantile "Whiner-in-Chief" Strikes Again!

 

By now you've either seen or read about Trump's horrific Meet The Press appearance on Sunday.

To say it was a sickening example of Trump at his infantile and misogynistic worst is to repeat oneself by stating the truth about Trump's behavior as POTUS, ex-POTUS, and POTUS redoux.

Trump called Ms. Welker "crooked," and "stupid," and a member of the "fake dirty press." I'm surprised he didn't yell, "Quiet Piggy!" as he did to another female interviewer on Air Force One not too long ago. 

Last week he yelled at CNN's Kaitlin Collins saying that she's, "...a young, beautiful woman who never smiles" and claimed he saw "hatred in her eyes." He interrupted her questions regarding survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and Iran policy to tell her: "You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth."

I could go on and on about this American disgrace, but it's too depressing to recall all the times he's lashed out in rage at women and men who ask him normal questions. He's used to his sycophants telling him what a genius he is, so when a professional doing her job asks a non-sycophantic question, he loses what's left of his feeble mind, because he doesn't know how to react to push-back from people doing their jobs instead of kissing up to his fragile ego.

"Trump walked out of the interview, unwilling to take any more heat. I applaud Ms. Welker for attempting the impossible: getting honest answers from a president who is accustomed to being coddled by individuals who will never challenge him or tell him anything he does not want to hear. 

The leader of the free world is a coward." --Oren Spiegler, NYTimes Letters 

And this is the face he deserves:
