Biggest crybaby snowflake Trump

 Trump Reacts to Being Called a 'Loser' by Fox News Analyst

Former President Donald Trump said that Fox News analyst Brit Hume got it "wrong" when the political commentator said on air that "the case can be made that [Trump's] a loser."

Hume appeared on Fox News' Special Report on Wednesday to discuss the current lineup for the 2024 GOP presidential primary, with host Rich Edson. Preliminary polling has largely given Trump a double-digit lead in the race for the GOP nomination, ahead of Republican leaders like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Poor baby! Somebody called him what he calls literally everybody else in the world and he snowflakes out.

Maybe Trump could manage to make the conversation about something more than "Grievances against Trump" for once in his East Coast Elitist life? What a tedious POS. 

It's getting to the point that even his base is getting annoyed at it. Every rally you here them saying it's not the same anymore and it's because all he does is rant about his own problems.

And the fact is he IS a LOSER. Lost the popular vote 2 times, failed at a coup, lost the 2022 senate for the GOP, and has lost support continuously for the last 5-8 years depending how you look at it.

But best of all, it throws Trump down in a single TRUE insult instead of wasting all the attention on poor beleaguered Mr billionaire. We can move on from him with no more time than he earnestly deserves. LOSER.

This is why he'll probably be a no-show for the Republican debates. Imagine Trump having to share a stage with 4-6 direct competitors, who know exactly what to say to make him emotional and insecure. He wouldn't want to take the risk to his ego. Of course this presents a problem, for him and the party at large.

If he does go, then the general conservative public for the first time since 2016 sees that they have actual options other than Trump. If he doesn't go, then he looks weaker and even more polarizing to people already iffy on him for not acknowledging that he has to compete for and earn the nomination.

If even one other candidate can manage to present themselves as "like Trump but better" (i.e. more competent) while on the same stage as him, or while calling him too afraid to be on stage with them, then his status as the golden calf of the party will start to crumble.

It’s nice to see that his biggest fear is coming true, people are seeing him and calling out this con man. He’s been a cocktail party joke since the 80’s. It should have stayed that way.

Trump is sure bet to losing money

 Republicans Are Losing Money Because of Trump

Six top GOP donors stopped giving money to the Michigan or Arizona Republican parties because of their perceived support for the discredited claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Donald Trump, according to a new report.

One former Michigan donor, real estate tycoon Ron Weiser, told Reuters it is "ludicrous" to claim Trump won the state in 2020, as supporters of the former president are continuing to do.

The USA lost money because of Trump. The Trump Foundation lost money because of Trump. Trump's hotels and shitty golf courses lost money because of Trump. Shit, even bottled water - a nearly free product requiring minimal effort to sell - lost money because of Trump.

This guy lost money selling steaks to Americans...

Think the GOP will recognize the reality of the situation? Don't hold your breath. 

Between 1985 and 1994 trump single-handedly destroyed wealth amounting to 1.700.000.000 USD.

Adjusted for inflation that’s pretty much a worldwide record. No other human has ever destroyed so much of private wealth. Some other actors come close but these are usually dictators and warlords where it is difficult to differentiate between private and state wealth and some ponzi scheme stuff comes too (the irony).

I’m pretty sure trump will go into the history books as the worst business man to have lived in the 20th century, perhaps eben the post modern era as a whole.

Students lost money because of Trump.

Trump's airline went belly up too. He is such a stable genius.

USFL was pretty popular at the time because it was played in the off-season. It would be a perpetual money maker for him because fans always wanted more football.

His decision? Lets make it compete with the NFL. Brain dead. The guy hasnt made the right business decision in his life.

That's fine. GOP decided to ride that train, despite all evidence that the end of the line was at the bottom of a cliff. I have no sympathy for any of them.

The crazy thing is they had so many off-ramps. Jan 6th especially - the rest of the GOP could have cut ties with Trump then and there and no one would have blamed them. Sure, the die-hard cult would be upset but those people are insane anyway. The GOP should give up on the cult and start trying to build a bigger base. They should moderate their extreme fringe positions and move to the center-right, but they can't because most of the Democratic party occupies that position. So they keep moving right to run away from them, and now the Rs are just slightly to the left of that guy in Germany that off'd himself in his bunker. Trump himself might not even be to the left of that.

That said, I suspect that if Trump wins the nomination (as seems increasingly likely each day) and loses in 2024, then you may finally see a shift in the GOP. They don't care about the morality of what Trump has done or plans to do, but if he loses twice in a row, he's not useful to them anymore. They won't care as much about alienating his base if that base can't win elections anyway. Additionally, Trump would be 81 in 2028 so I can't imagine he would be in fighting form (assuming he even makes it that long). Even on the campaign trail now he sounds like a shadow of his 2016 self. Guess that battery has finally run out.

Lack of education is showing on Marjorie Taylor Greene

 Marjorie Taylor Greene rages at Pride chant after failing to realize it’s sarcastic

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared video footage of a chant from New York City’s Pride celebrations over the weekend as proof – for her – that LGBTQ+ people want to sexually abuse children.

The short clip from Friday night’s Drag March in Manhattan shows people chanting, “We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re coming for your children,” a sarcastic response to the rise in anti-drag, anti-trans, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric accusing LGBTQ+ people of sexually abusing children.

Just wait until she finds out about Biden's executive order next week to make all children in the US have gender reassignment surgery before starting school.

I get the fact its a joke, but can people exercise even an ounce of critical thought before doing shit like this?

The lbgt community is literally fighting to have their existence recognized and be treated as equals - maybe dont give the people who want to eliminate you direct ammunition that furthers their deranged arguments against you?

Its the same shit with that idiot trans activist who flashed her chest at the White House party.

Its fucking stupid, just stop.

Marjorie Taylor Greene implies she thinks she’s being spied on via her TV 

The far-right US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to say she thinks she is being spied on through her television, possibly by the US government, and that someone may soon try to kill her.

In a tweet on Sunday, the Republican from Georgia said: “Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV.”

Greene also linked to a CBS News story entitled “Your smart TV might be spying on you, FBI warns”, a piece that linked to a 2019 warning about hacking and cybercriminals reported by TechCrunch.

To be fair, her smart tv is probably the smartest thing in her home.

I love how she felt she needed to explain how healthy and not crazy she is.

That’s what crazy people tend to do. 

Countdown For Ron DeSantis

 Ron DeSantis Campaign 'Close to Being Over'—Ex-GOP Governor

Former Maryland GOP Governor Larry Hogan has poured cold water on Ron DeSantis' hopes of being president, saying his campaign is one of the "worst he has ever seen" and predicting a swift end to his bid.

Hogan spoke with CBS News' Major Garrett on Wednesday and commented on DeSantis' campaign so far, and how he has handled the pressure of taking on Republican front-runner, former President Donald Trump.

Hogan said he believes DeSantis has underperformed and has essentially "dropped like a rock" in the Republican leadership race.

Dude’s entire electoral career is close to being over.

Dude has zero charisma and terrible political instincts. 

That's because his whole M.O. is to pander to the right. All he does is pay attention to what the Christo-Fascists are whining about and uses his position to amplify it. He has no original position. Even his first and most prominent commercial when he ran for governor was literally, "copy / paste what Trump says."

I've been following his battle with the Walt Disney Company very closely for a long time and watching him fail more and more tragically at every turn has been sweeter than honey to watch. It's like the state of Florida was sick and its white blood cells turned against it to attack things that are vital for its own survival.

Disney accounts for such a large portion of the state's economy and here's a man with presidential aspirations waging war with the company at the expense of the state's taxpayers.

Who's gonna watch that kind of colossal self-sabotage and see presidential material?

Federal court halts Florida’s drag ban, calling it attempt to ‘suppress the speech’ rights of performers

A federal court temporarily haltedFlorida’s controversial restrictions on drag performances, warning the law was overbroad and could risk infringing on free speech rights.

The SB1438 law, signed in May by Republican governor Ron DeSantis, is “dangerously susceptible to standardless, overbroad enforcement which could sweep up substantial protected speech,” US judge Gregory Presnell wrote in his ruling.

The people who support things like drag bans also say the Constitution was written with religious intent to protect the religious, implying that if you don’t believe in god you somehow forfeit Constitutionally protected rights.

These people missed the bus decades ago. 

DeSantis asks federal judge to dismiss Disney suit, claiming broad immunity

Attorneys for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday asked a federal court to dismiss Disney

’s lawsuit that alleges political retaliation against the company, arguing that he and at least one other defendant are “immune” and that Disney lacks standing to sue them.

The attorneys also argued that Disney’s complaint — that DeSantis targeted the company after it denounced the controversial state classroom bill derided as “Don’t Say Gay” by critics — “fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted.”

Realize that when the media writes things about Desantis like "he's weaponizing freedom to punish his enemies" they are describing fascism.

DeSantis is a fascist, just like Trump. 

Gonna be hard to argue Disneys suit is political retaliation when he openly bragged about how him fucking with them was political retaliation for exercising their first amendment right criticizing law he was passing.

DeSantis’ GOP support declining in new NBC poll

If it’s MONDAY… Russia’s mercenary rebels back down, but Vladimir Putin’s rule appears more uncertain than ever… President Biden makes announcement on nation’s high-speed internet infrastructure at 11:45 am ET… Prosecutors ask to delay Donald Trump’s classified documents trial until December… And Ron DeSantis, in Texas, releases his plan to secure the border, per NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez and Bianca Seward.

But FIRST… Yes, the headline from our new NBC News poll is how former President Donald Trump has increased his lead in the national GOP horserace since his federal indictment in the classified documents probe.  

It’s because even republicans don’t like Republicans.

If DeSantis wants to win this, he needs to go on the attack. Make fun of Chris Christie’s weight, call Mike Pence a traitor

The Republican Party exists for the sake of money and power in its own right. As long as you’re a winner and facilitate their economic priorities, you can’t actually burn any bridges. Treat them like shit, they deserve it, and the voters will reward you 

Texas Governor takes away people with disabilities option to vote by mail

 Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes bill that would give people with disabilities new option to vote by mail

Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

Advocates say Abbott’s veto of House Bill 3159 is a blow for voters with disabilities who have for years called for the Legislature to grant them a way to mark their mail-in ballots without having to rely on anyone else.

Guy in wheelchair makes it harder for disabled people to vote. You would almost think it’s the Onion.

He’s paralyzed from a tree that fell on him while jogging after a storm.

He sued the homeowner for an initial payment of 400k and monthly payments for the rest of his life at 14k.

Shortly after, he closed up that legal loophole so that no one else can do that. 

At some point, their policies will fail. Unless the republican party actually changes and begins trying to improve life on earth, then they will eventually be worn away.

Oh and talking about Republicans:

Republicans Plan to Cut Free School Lunches

The largest ideological caucus in the House Republican conference is proposing steep cuts to free and reduced school lunch programs nationwide, citing the need to "prevent the widespread fraud present in the program."

Embedded deep in the Republican Study Committee's (RSC) recommended budget released Wednesday night, the plan calls for a series of reforms designed to cut federal funding for school lunches and encourage states to increase their shares of funding for the program—a move the RSC argues will encourage state legislatures to restrict the eligible population receiving school lunch to "truly needy" households.

After birth and before reaching voting age, the GOP has no use for you. Get a job, you lazy children.

Republicans hate the idea of poor people being educated or well-fed. They literally want people who are less fortunate to work and die and that's it, no education, no happiness, no joy. Work and die.

This is arguably the least abused form of welfare we have in this country. Government money funds the meal that goes directly to the kid at lunch time.

It also helps farmers, who they pretend to care about once an election cycle.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

GOP's petulent behavior

 Lauren Boebert called out over treatment of witness: ‘An insult is not an argument’

Far-right Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert was scolded by Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin for her attitude towards a witness during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee.

Ms Boebert spent her time during the hearing berating Ms Katzen, interrupting her as she attempted to answer. The Colorado congresswoman asked Ms Katzen if she thought changes to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) not put forward by Congress were appropriate.

As Ms Katzen started to speak, Ms Boebert instead began laying out her thoughts on the matter. Ms Katzen was later interrupted again and when she attempted to respond for the third time, Ms Boebert said, “No ma’am it’s my time. Thank you”.

“Oh, I’m sorry, so you are not interested in my views?” Ms Katzen replied to which Ms Boebert once again said it was her turn to speak.

As the hearing went on, Ms Katzen appeared to stop trying to answer questions from Ms Boebert. At one point, she suggested that Ms Katzen had a “$2.5 million home” which appeared to be intended as criticism.

“Excuse me, I really take that as a personal ... I disagree that you’re casting aspersions on me,” the scholar responded, at which point Ms Boebert said her time was up.

Then when Boebert was called out for her petulent behavior, she stormed out of the room...like a petulent child. So, pretty on-brand for her basically.

She just talks shit and walks off knowing she can prevent the witness from actually saying anything back. What a piece of shit she is. I mean we already knew that but damn.

Flooding the zone.

This was best seen this week in the interviews of Jim Jordan and Lindsey Graham, as they just turned on a firehose of falsehoods to defend trump on national media appearances. They use machine gun utterances of lies so fast and aggressive that no one can even attempt to bring them back to reality. 

The GOP doesn't want educated, because those people ask questions, while idiots follow blindly.

 Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked for telling CDC chair: ‘I dont want my staff educated’

Marjorie Taylor Greene got into an argument with the outgoing Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr Rochelle Walensky, at one point telling the public health leader, “I don’t want my staff educated”.

The Georgia Republican went off on Dr Walensky, who’s set to leave her post on 30 June, during a House Oversight Committee hearing regarding the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic on Tuesday.

Ms Greene asked the director about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), saying that “in 2021, Covid-19 reports skyrocketed to number one at 728,829 reports. And the numbers kept growing and growing and growing on the VAERS report”.

The people who should be embarrassed are the ones who voted for her. But I guarantee they are not.

Republican voters seem to think politics is a sport which only has real consequences when something directly affects them. 

It is agenda #1 for Republicans.

Ever since the civil rights movement, conservatives have viewed public education as a threat to their bigoted and privileged way of life.

Propaganda surrounding public schools has been at the forefront of Republican groups for a long time.

First target was Blacks and Hispanics. Then it was science (evolution, biology). Then it was math. (Common core fake propaganda examples to paint schools as incompetent). Then it was LGTBQ.

And at the same time, for decades, they've pushed the idea of "private school vouchers", where parents can choose to not educate their children, and instead have the government pay private christian indoctrination centers to lie to their children and teach them meaningless and provably false mythology.

That way they can create generations of loyal uneducated cult members to vote for them and give them more and more power.

'I Don't Want My Staff Educated,' Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells CDC Boss In Exasperating Exchange

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday she didn’t want her staff educated after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky offered to clarify the reporting procedure on COVID-19 vaccines for Greene’s team. (Watch the video below.)

It was basically an interrogation intended to humiliate Walensky in front of a House committee. The anti-vaxx lawmaker interpreted data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, to baselessly suggest that an inordinate amount of Americans died from the shots, and suffered miscarriages and stillbirths.

Republicans love to have it both ways on this issue. They're against corporate taxes and public health insurance because it would stifle development and innovation yet are pissed off that these companies are now making money on their developments.

I think MTG needs to educate herself, her staff, and the American people about the fact that the VAERS system records comments from any source and most of it is unverified. It should not be used as an example of the actual number of adverse reactions to vaccines.

Case in point:

Medical experts at the Department of Health and Human Services are well aware of VAERS’ limitations. Rather than taking each individual report at face value, regulators remove clearly fraudulent reports. Demonstrating this, anesthesiologist and autism advocate James Laidler once used the system to report that a vaccine turned him into the “Incredible Hulk,” which was only removed after he agreed to have the data deleted.

https://theconversation.com/amp/unverified-reports-of-vaccine-side-effects-in-vaers-arent-the-smoking-guns-portrayed-by-right-wing-media-outlets-they-can-offer-insight-into-vaccine-hesitancy-166401

The abuse of VAERS, an unvetted, self-reported vaccine side effects database, by anti-vaxxers for spreading anti-vaccine propaganda, has been going on for decades.

It’s difficult to see how the benefits of this system have outweighed the costs, particularly given that it is now being abused by sitting members of Congress to spread dangerous disinformation about vaccines. 

It’s so funny how the “don’t trust the CDC” people will cite a CDC reporting system as soon as it fits their narrative. Too bad the VAERS site quite literally tells you on its front page to not make inferences from the data you see. I mean, there were reports in VAERS that the vaccine turned you into the Incredible Hulk.

A bunch of unverified reports go into a system with respect to a disease that was heavily politicized, and she wants to use that “information” in a committee hearing?
