Most Lawless, Corrupt & Dangerous President in History
After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was stolen from him. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in swing states and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his followers to engage in a violent COUP to stop the certification of Democratically elected Joe Biden to stay in power against the will of the people. 5 deaths were attributed to his inciting violence to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021.
Videos on this page show why some say Trump is the most Lawless, Corrupt, Dangerous President in History, who Obstructed Justice, Abused Power, is a Narsistic Sociopath and Wannbe Dictator who Lies with Impunity.

MUGSHOTS OF REPUBLICANS INDICTED, ARRESTED AND BOOKED
IN GEORGIA FOR 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE
Trump is the greatest threat to Democracy and Freedom our country has ever faced
“Enemy from within”
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Millie said no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump and he is a fascist to his core.
Trump’s Promises and Plans for 2025 — in his own words
There’s no mystery about what Donald Trump wants to do in his second term. He’s told us his plans and Project 2025 is how Trump’s rhetoric will become an authoritarian reality for us all. Here’s what he has promised, in his own words.
1 – Pardon power
Trump will use his pardon power to shield himself and his allies from criminal accountability
2 – Directing Investigations Against Critics and Rivals
He’s promised to order the Department of Justice to investigate people who challenge him.
3 – Regulatory Retaliation
Trump has also promised to purge professional staff and experts inside the government and replace them with “Yes” Men and Women.
4 – Federal Law Enforcement Overreach
Trump plans to explode police powers in ways that would make America unrecognizable.
5 – Domestic Deployment of the Military
Trump wants to use the military to police our streets and send troops to our cities over the will of state and local officials.
6 – The Autocrat Won’t Leave
AND, like he showed us in 2020 and on January 6th, that if he is elected to office, he will be unwilling to leave. He’s willing to use every tool at his disposal to remain in power.
Project 2025 and the Radical Right Wing GOP Republican Dominated Supreme Court gave Trump “Absolute Immunity” and the Power of a Dictator to exact REVENGE against political opponents and anyone who criticizes him.
It’s up to the American people to stop Trump and MAGA Republicans from attempting to take over the government again this November.
Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him
The former president’s latest threats, made in a social media post, represent the most overt signal yet that he will not accept the result in November if he loses.
Per the above article: “Trump pledges to jail opponents, Baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him”
“Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatened to jail people “involved in unscrupulous behavior” related to voting in the 2024 election, suggesting without evidence that the election could be stolen from him — and prompting widespread condemnation from election officials who said such rhetoric could provoke violence”. WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote on Saturday on his Truth Social platform”.
OPINION: TRUMP and REPUBLICANS are the ones who CHEATED and attempted to STEAL the 2020 election. TRUMP and REPUBLICANS who tried to steal the 2020 election and those making plans to steal the 2024 election (by claiming ‘irregularities’ and refusing to certify the election if Trump loses) are the ones who should get ‘long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again‘.
Donald Trump threatens to imprison Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and others. Experts are worried
Donald Trump is threatening to prosecute and imprison his political enemies. Experts on democracy and the rule of law told USA TODAY the risk is real.
Per the above USA Today article – “Donald Trump threatens to imprison Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and others… Richard Painter, who was a White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, likened the comments to a vision of President Vladimir Putin’s Russia, where Putin’s political opponents end up behind bars on charges such as “extremism” or “treason” after criticizing his regime.
“It’s extremely dangerous for democracy, this idea that the winner just puts the loser in prison, prosecutes the loser,” Painter told USA TODAY.
Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told USA TODAY in an email that Trump “believes anyone who breaks the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including criminals who engage in election fraud.”
“Without free and fair elections, you can’t have a country. Ask Venezuela,” Leavitt said.
The former president has previously suggested prosecuting his rivals would be legitimate revenge for his own legal troubles, which include one criminal conviction in New York state court and three other criminal cases. Painter said that argument ignores some stark differences between Trump’s own situation and what he is threatening to do.
“Joe Biden never campaigned on a promise to put Donald Trump in prison,” Painter said. “When Donald Trump engaged in the conduct he did, an independent prosecutor was appointed,” he added, referring to special counsel Jack Smith, who has significant independence from Justice Department leadership and secured grand jury indictments in the two federal cases Trump faces, one alleging Trump unlawfully attempted to subvert the 2020 election and the other alleging he mishandled classified documents”.
“Trump Pledges to Jail” Election Opponents, Fabricates “The Big Lie”
As The Washington Post reported, “Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him.” In advance of the upcoming election, Donald Trump is again telling the big lie about voter fraud and stolen elections and is again inspiring people to anger and priming the pump for violence. Trump has a demonstrated track record for inspiring and inciting violence using his transparent election lies. Yet the institutions of government seem disinclined to do anything about it, notwithstanding the fact that Trump is intent on replicating the circumstances that produced the violence of January 6, 2021.
American psychologist, psychotherapist and former part-time assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tries to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality“.
Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Trump’s Threat; “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”
Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”
Trump posts disturbing baseball bat photo with Alvin Bragg, threatens ‘death and destruction’
Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by sharing images of him holding a baseball bat next Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head.
March 24, 2023: Trump threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged in New York — writing the shocking social media warning after posting an image of himself holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head. Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat — with Bragg’s hands up — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over a “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” & “If you f— around with us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before & threatening “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged for his crimes in New York.
This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave and is more PROOF that Trump IS the Most Lawless, Corrupt & Dangerous President in History
Trump Threatens NY DA Alvin Bragg in violation of NY state law
“Former President Donald Trump threatened New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as Bragg investigates and prepares to indict Trump for his earlier New York crimes. Specifically, Trump indicates there will be “death and destruction” if Bragg indicts hims. Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture.
This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: “a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . ”
The above video shows Trump taking about putting people in jail for saying & doing things he doesn’t like (or for failing to do what he wants) and having FCC licenses of news outlets revoked
In an interview with Andy Borowitz from The New Yorker on May 9, 2018, Trump Stated about the United States Constitution; “I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess. We need to tear it up and start over. The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches. He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go. No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution. Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”
- September, 24 2024 suggested it should be “illegal” to rebuke judicial decisions or try and advocate in favor of a certain decision. “It should be illegal, what happens,” Trump told a crowd in Pennsylvania. “You know, you have these guys like playing the ref, like the great Bobby Knight. These people should be put in jail the way they talk about our judges and our justices, trying to get them to sway their vote, sway their decision.”
- On November 29 2023, Trump stated that he wants the ‘Federal Government to come down Hard on MSNBC’ for its criticism of him.
- On Veterans Day, November 11, 2023 Trump stated; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.
- In response to outrage over Trump’s ‘vermin’ comment, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated about Trump opponents; “their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
- On March 28, 2024 Steve Bannon stated: “After we’ve won, the Accountability Project’s going to start and it’s going to be thorough this time. It’s going to be they’re going to be in prison”.
- On “The View” (Dec 6, 2023) co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as White House Director of Strategic Communications for Trump, claimed he wanted to have a member of his own staff ‘executed’ for leaking a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests.
- Mike Davis, who may be a candidate for Trump’s Attorney General, stated he’d pardon all of the January 6 rioters, toss opponents in “the gulag” and ‘caging migrant kids would be “glorious’.
- Kash Patel, who may be a member of Trump’s ‘administration’ stated; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you.
- On May 23rd, 2024, Former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon stated: “We mock your fear, we want your fear. We are going to hold everyone who opposes Trump responsible”
These are OUTRAGEOUS threats which should disqualify Trump from running for President. The fact the RNC / GOP is allowing him to run on their ticket speaks volumes about what a lawless, corrupt, anti-democratic ‘organization’ they have become.
Trump & his cronies have made it clear they intend to seek retribution against political enemies, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down news outlets which are critical of him. They have made it clear; if Trump is elected President they plan on engaging in a reign of LAWLESSNESS and TERROR, where dissenters are arrested, locked up and executed, similar to Putin’s Russia. Let’s not forget how Trump praises brutal, murderous dictators like Kim Jong Un and Putin.
The American people should not have to live in fear of a Wannabe Dictator Lunatic becoming President.
Trump made it clear that he would NOT accept the outcome of the 2020 election if he lost and would claim “Voter Fraud” .
Trump had no intentions of leaving office and refused to commit to “a peaceful transfer of power”, stating on 9/23/20; “Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a peaceful a continuation.” He wanted a Republican dominated Supreme Court to contest the election results & use his Partisan Court to rule in his favor (like they did in 2000.. Bush V. Gore).

OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE AS DETAILED IN THE MUELLER REPORT | |
Source for list of 10 below: apnews.com | |
(1) Pressure On Comey To End Probe Of Michael Flynn – Comey testified to congress that Trump said this at a private dinner meeting; “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,”. Mueller’s report says “substantial evidence” indicates Trump’s decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was the result of the FBI director’s unwillingness to say publicly that Trump was not personally under investigation. | |
(2) Reaction To The Continuing Russia Investigation – Among the evidence is the president telling then-White House counsel Don McGahn to stop Attorney General Jeff Sessions from recusing himself from the Russia investigation and Trump’s subsequent anger at Sessions. Trump also contacted Comey and other intelligence agency leaders to ask them to push back publicly on the suggestion that Trump had any connection to the Russian election-interference effort. | |
(3) Firing Of Comey And Aftermath – Mueller’s report says “substantial evidence” indicates Trump’s decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was the result of the FBI director’s unwillingness to say publicly that Trump was not personally under investigation. On the day after Trump fired Comey, the president told Russian officials that he had “faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” | |
(4) Appointment Of Special Counsel And Efforts To Remove Him – Following media reports that Mueller’s team was investigating whether Trump had obstructed justice, Trump called then-White House counsel Don McGahn at home and directed him to have Mueller removed. McGahn refused. | |
(5) Further Efforts To Curtail The Special Counsel’s Investigation – Trump instructed former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to have Sessions publicly announce that, notwithstanding his recusal from the Russia investigation, the investigation was “very unfair” to the president, the president had done nothing wrong, and Sessions planned to meet with Mueller to limit him to “investigating election meddling for future elections. | |
(6) Efforts To Prevent Public Disclosure Of Evidence – In summer of 2017, Trump learned that the news media planned to report on the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between senior campaign officials and Russians offering derogatory information about Hillary Clinton. The president directed aides not to publicly disclose the emails setting up the meeting. Before the emails became public, the president also edited a press statement for Donald Trump Jr. by deleting a line that acknowledged that the meeting was “with an individual who (Trump Jr.) was told might have information helpful to the campaign.” | |
(7) Additional Efforts To Have Sessions Take Control Of Investigation – At several points in between July 2017 and December 2017, Trump tried to get Sessions to declare that he was no longer recused from the Russia investigation and would assert control over it. The report says there’s evidence that one purpose of asking Sessions to step in was so that the attorney general would restrict the investigation’s scope. | |
(8) Trump Orders White House Counsel To Deny That President Tried To Fire Mueller– In an Oval Office meeting in February 2018, Trump told McGahn to “correct” a New York Times story that reported Trump had earlier instructed McGahn to fire Mueller. Trump also asked why McGahn had told Mueller’s investigators about the directive to remove Mueller. McGahn told Trump he had to tell the investigators the truth. | |
(9) Trump’s Actions Toward, Flynn, Manafort And Other Possible Witnesses– Mueller looked at whether Trump’s sympathetic messages to Flynn, former campaign manager Paul Manafort and others were intended to limit their cooperation with Mueller’s investigation. When Flynn began cooperating with prosecutors, Trump passed word through his lawyer that he still had warm feeling for Flynn and asked for a “heads up” if Flynn knew of information implicating Trump. Trump praised Manafort during and after his criminal convictions, and refused to rule out a pardon for his former campaign chairman. | |
(10) Trump Actions Toward Michael Cohen – Mueller noted that Trump’s conduct toward Cohen, a former Trump Organization executive, changed from praise to castigation after Cohen began cooperating with prosecutors. The evidence could “support an inference that the president used inducements in the form of positive messages in an effort to get Cohen not to cooperate, and then turned to attacks and intimidation to deter” cooperation and undermine Cohen’s credibility, Mueller wrote. | |
IMPEACHMENT: ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER | |
(1) President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents Within and Outside the United States Government corruptly solicited the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into (A) a political opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and (B) a discredited theory promoted by Russia alleging that Ukraine—rather than Russia—interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential election. | |
(2) With the same corrupt motives, President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the United States Government—conditioned two official acts on the public announcements that he had requested | |
(A) the release of $391 million of United States taxpayer funds that Congress had appropriated on a bipartisan basis for the purpose of providing vital military and security assistance to Ukraine to oppose Russian aggression and which President Trump had ordered suspended; | |
(B) a head of state meeting at the White House, which the President of Ukraine sought to demonstrate continued United States support for the Government of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. | |
(3) Faced with the public revelation of his actions, President Trump ultimately released the military and security assistance to the Government of Ukraine, but has persisted in openly and corruptly urging and soliciting Ukraine to undertake investigations for his personal political benefit. | |
IMPEACHMENT – ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS | |
(1) Directing the White House to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the production of documents sought therein by the Committees. | |
(2) Directing other Executive Branch agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees—in response to which the Department of State, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense refused to produce a single document or record. | |
(3) Directing current and former Executive Branch officials not to cooperate with the Committees—in response to which nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony, namely John Michael “Mick” Mulvaney, Robert B. Blair, John A. Eisenberg, Michael Ellis, Preston Wells Griffith, Russell T. Vought, Michael Duffey, Brian McCormack, and T. Ulrich Brechbuhl. | |
These actions were consistent with Trump’s previous efforts to undermine United States Government investigations into foreign interference in United States elections. | |

Trump & Republicans Responsible for ‘Open Borders’
Trump & Republicans are responsible for Open Borders because TRUMP demanded they block Border Security Legislation so he can use “Open Borders” as a campaign issue. Trump demanded Republican do nothing which Biden can get credit for doing which might help hem get re-elected.
Also, since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017 to January 3, 2019, when Trump & Republicans had the Presidency, the House of Representatives and Senate… they did NOTHING about the border when they had absolute control of all 3 branches of Government.
Trump and Republicans now trying to blame Democrats for “Open Borders” are LYING, and refusing to accept responsibility for the Border problems they refused to solve. Once again, Republicans are literately putting Politics above doing what’s best for our country and the American people.

[thirdway.org/blog/republican-efforts-to-defund-border-security]
Per the above article: “Border security has been a winning issue for Republicans for decades. They use the same fearmongering tactics—saying Democrats want “open borders” and to let violent criminals into our country. Their latest attacks accuse undocumented immigrants of trafficking fentanyl across the border. And these lines of attack seem to be working with voters. A 2022 Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 40% of registered voters trust Republicans more on immigration, an 8 point lead over Democrats.
If Republicans are so strong on border security, why did they just pass a bill that would cut Customs and Border Protection (CBP) funding by 22%?
Republican Debt Limit Bill Defunds the Border
House Republicans have passed debt limit legislation that would freeze Fiscal Year 2024 federal spending at FY 2022 levels. This would mean a 22% cut to non-defense discretionary spending, including a 22% cut to border security funding.
Customs and Border Protection is responsible for monitoring our borders and ports of entry. For years, Republicans have been calling for more money and officers to secure our southern border, but their bill does the exact opposite—it would cut CBP’s budget by $4 billion, resulting in the loss of 2,400 officers. Cuts would also mean over $640 million in border security technology would no longer be operational. This loss of resources would have serious consequences for CBP’s capacity to process migrants at the border and to stop fentanyl and illicit drug trafficking. Republicans claim that we have a border crisis, but their bill would only make things worse.
Biden’s Budget Strengthens Border Security & Cracks Down on Fentanyl
President Biden’s proposed budget includes nearly $25 billion for CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an $800 million increase from the previous year. His budget includes:
Funds for CBP to hire an additional 350 Border Patrol Agents;
- $535 million for border security technology at and between ports of entry; and,
- $40 million to combat fentanyl trafficking and disrupt transnational criminal organizations.
In addition to border security measures, President Biden’s budget strengthens our immigration system. Addressing the backlog of asylum and immigration applications would help immensely in ameliorating the situation at the border. That’s why the President’s proposal includes:
- $865 million for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to process the backlog of asylum caseloads;
- $1.5 billion to hire new immigration judges and staff to surge to the border and manage the backlog of cases; and,
- $4.7 billion to help the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) respond to migration swells along the southwest border.
While Republicans are abdicating on border security and immigration, President Biden and Democrats are putting their money where their mouth is. They’re strengthening border security, combatting fentanyl trafficking, and improving the functioning of our immigration system. The next time a Republican Congressman cries “open borders,” ask them why they voted to defund border security.
Myth vs. Truth: Dissecting the Republican narrative about the border
Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security. If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it.
Per the above article: “Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security”.
“If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it. They keep this lie alive by perpetuating a series of myths about Democrats and the border.
It’s time to correct the record.
MYTH: The Biden administration has implemented an “open border” policy that has created chaos at our border with Mexico.
TRUTH: President Biden inherited an immigration system in tatters. The Trump administration cut off legal pathways to citizenship, leaving would-be migrants with fewer lawful methods of entering the country. They cut funding to Central American countries in 2019 as they splurged on an ineffective, costly wall.
It was the Trump administration that tightened sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, exacerbating the macroeconomic crises that have led hundreds of thousands to flee and arrive at the southern border. When they pulled the rug out from various, essential assistance programs, they made the problem worse.
But our immigration system has been broken for many decades — long before Joe Biden or Donald Trump took the oath of office. Time and again, Democrats have proposed solutions to fix the immigration system in a reasonable, humane way. And time and again, Republicans have opposed these efforts at every turn.
One might recall that in 2013, House Republicans thwarted comprehensive immigration reform after an agreement was reached in the Senate. Many of those same House Republicans who prevented that legislation from passing are now intent on blaming irregular migration, an issue our country has dealt with for over a century, solely on the Biden administration.
There’s only one problem with their affinity for blaming Democrats — it doesn’t hold up to basic scrutiny. In fact, between December 2022 and January 2023, the Biden-Harris administration halved the number of encounters at the border and reduced the number of Cuban, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Haitian migrants by 97 percent.
MYTH: The Biden administration has ignored the border and is refusing to commit proper resources to it.
TRUTH: The idea that Democrats have ignored the situation at the border and refused to commit resources to solving it is another outright lie. In reality, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional Democrats have surged record levels of funding to the border.
The FY23 government funding package that President Biden signed into law provided Border Patrol with $7.153 billion — a 17 percent increase from the year before. Additionally, the funding package provided $65 million for 300 new Border Patrol agents, $60 million for 125 new personnel at points of entry; and $230 million for technology like autonomous surveillance towers.
House Republicans voted against this historic funding.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies allow undocumented immigrants to flood the country with deadly fentanyl.
TRUTH: Republicans continue to blame vulnerable migrants fleeing violence, hunger, and natural disasters for illicit drug smuggling, but facts are stubborn things. Over 90 percent of fentanyl, and over 80 percent of total illegal narcotics, arrive at legal points of entry—not between them—and are smuggled largely by Americans—not undocumented migrants. In fact, migrants accounted for less than 9 percent of fentanyl trafficking convictions in FY 21, compared to more than 86 percent for American citizens.
In December 2022, CBP seized 4,500 pounds of fentanyl, the largest amount ever recorded. Incredibly, just five of those 4,500 pounds were seized at the border by U.S. Border Patrol. Republicans are focused on 1 percent of the problem, 100 percent of the time.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies have allowed criminals and terrorists to pour over the southern border unchecked, contributing to a spike in crime in America.
TRUTH: Study after study has shown that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Alternatives to Detention Program provides a strong example: The latest data from ICE released on Feb. 3, 2023, demonstrated 99.4 percent of immigrants monitored on ICE’s Alternatives to Detention Program attended their court hearings compared to the .6 percent which failed to attend their hearing.
Not all undocumented immigrants are tracked through this program, but immigrants, when paroled into the United States, overwhelmingly are lawful individuals that attend their court hearings. An American Immigration Council report found that over the past 11 years, an overwhelming 83 percent of immigrants attended their immigration court hearings, and those who failed to appear in court often did not receive notice or faced hardship in getting to court.
Republicans who assert the Biden administration is releasing countless dangerous migrants into the country are not only trafficking in xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiment, but they are also peddling lies that are categorically false.
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

95-year-old WW2 Veteran Has Some Harsh Words for Donald Trump
Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists
Per Wikipedia, the definition of Fascism is; “a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party”.
The American Republican Fascist Party
Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator
Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

Trump is constantly calling Democrats “Fascists” when it’s HE & REPUBLICANS are the REAL Fascists. Trump is following the playbook of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels of “Accusing the other side of that which he is guilty” and Repeating Lies which gullible, uninformed people eventually come to believe.
Most of Trump’s supporters watch FOX and Right Wing Media so they are brainwashed and conditioned into believing lies and Right Wing Propaganda.
We’re Not Saying This MAGA Video Is Identical to Nazi Propaganda, but Look for Yourself
Given the aims of fascist propaganda-to incite and mobilize-the events of Jan. 6 were predictable.
Per the above article: “On Jan. 6, Trump supporters gathered at a rally at Washington D.C.’s Ellipse Park, regaled by various figures from Trump world, including Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani. Directly following Giuliani’s speech, the organizers played a video. To a scholar of fascist propaganda, well-versed in the history of the National Socialist’s pioneering use of videos in political propaganda, it was clear, watching it, what dangers it portended. In it, we see themes and tactics that history warns pose a violent threat to liberal democracy. Given the aims of fascist propaganda—to incite and mobilize—the events that followed were predictable.
Before decoding what the video presents, it is important to take a step back and discuss the structure of fascist ideology and how it can mobilize its most strident supporters to take violent actions.
Increasingly central to Trumpism is the QAnon conspiracy theory, which, as many commentators have now pointed out, closely resembles Nazi anti-Semitic myths. QAnon is just the most obvious manifestation of the increasing parallels between Trumpism and Hitler’s framework itself. Indeed, several contemporary fascist and white supremacist movements find similar roots in the framework Hitler developed, even if they did not culminate in such extreme actions as the Nazis.
Fascism is a patriarchal cult of the leader, who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by a treacherous and power-hungry global elite, who have encouraged minorities to destabilize the social order as part of their plan to dominate the “true nation,” and fold them into a global world government. The fascist leader is the father of his nation, in a very real sense like the father in a traditional patriarchal family. He mobilizes the masses by reminding them of what they supposedly have lost, and who it is that is responsible for that loss—the figures who control democracy itself, the elite; Nazi ideology is a species of fascism in which this global elite are Jews.
Fascism uses propaganda as a way of mobilizing a population behind the leader. Fascist propaganda creates an awesome sense of loss, and a desire for revenge against those who are responsible. In the face of the supposed betrayal of the nation during World War I by Jewish “vipers,” Hitler describes the proper response to have been to place the “leaders of the whole movement…behind bars.” Hitler writes, “[a]ll the implements of military power should have been ruthlessly used for the extermination of this pestilence. The parties should have been dissolved, the Reichstag brought to its senses, with bayonets if necessary, but, best of all, dissolved at once.” The goal of fascist propaganda is to mobilize a population to violently overthrew multi-party democracy and replace it with the leader”.
Republicans OK with Violence to Seize Power
Trump praised Hitler, says general
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, retired Gen. John Kelly, reportedly said Trump had a soft spot for despots and autocrats, including Adolf Hitler, according to details from Jim Sciutto’s upcoming book, “The Return of Great Powers: Russia, China, and the Next World War.”
Why Republicans Don’t Want A Democracy
Republicans are constantly demonizing Antifa (Anti-Fascist) as being BAD because Antifa supports Democracy and is a threat to Fascism. Republicans equate Black Lives Matter as being one and the same as Antifa. They’ll say “BLM Antifa Protestors” in the same sentence as though a BLM protestor is a automatically a member of “Antifa”. Not true.
“Antifa is an ideology, not an organization” stated FBI Director Chris Wray in sworn testimony to congress on September 17, 2020.
Being against Antifa means your against Democracy and FOR anti-democratic, authoritarian Fascism. German Nazis were Right-Wing “Conservative” Fascist.
The full name of Hitler’s party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. In English, that translates to National Socialist German Workers’ Party. But it was not a socialist party; it was a right-wing, ultranationalist party dedicated to racial purity, territorial expansion and anti-Semitism and total political control.
The Nazi party was largely supported by small-business men and conservative industrialists (just like today’s American Republican party).
Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader.
Famous Quotes About Fascism Which Apply to Today’s Republican Party…
Benito Mussolini – “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
George Orwell – “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism – “Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt – “The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power…. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.”
Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom – “When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission. Only a few had been aware of the rumbling of the volcano preceding the outbreak.”
Henry A. Wallace – “If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.”
Upton Sinclair – “Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”
Mehmet Murat ildan – “Let fascism find not even a single passage to power or else that poisonous snake will infiltrate into every vital corner of the country and kill the future of the nation!”
Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism
This video gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years such as anti-voting laws to rig elections in their favor, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT laws and how Russia shares many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.

CPAC Gives Far-Right Hungarian Leader A Standing Ovation
Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister was met with a warm welcome from conservatives in Dallas, TX weeks after giving a speech in which he said he opposed “mixed race” societies. MSNBC political analyst Peter Beinart tells MSNBC’s Zerlina Maxwell that the fact Victor Orbán was given such a prominent speaking role at CPAC says that the Republican party is “less conservative than it is just white Christian nationalist.”
Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.
How To Dismantle A Democracy
If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.
Christo-Fascist Takeover of America
“Average Joe” Texas Paul gives an epic rant on how the prevailing ideology of the GOP appears to be Christo-fascism. The GOP thought they could pander to and control this element of the political party but have now become captured and dominated by it. Texas Paul gives examples of other countries that devolved quickly into fascism and the strikingly scary similarities to the United States right now.
The GOP has a plan to push America into classical fascism and it’s happening faster than you know. Only three steps to go.
Rachel Maddow on “Prequel” and fascism in America
Prior to World War II, a significant number of Nazi sympathizers in the U.S. were secretly meeting to promote antisemitic and far-right propaganda, with the intent to set up a Hitler-style dictatorship in America. Attempts to bring them to justice, for the most part, failed. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, author of the new book “Prequel,” talks with correspondent Rita Braver about our nation’s long-running fight against fascism, and how it relates to today’s conspiracy theories and ultra-right propaganda.
Tucker Carlson has been overtly Pro-Putin / Pro-Russia. The above video shows how pleased Russian’s have been with Carlson’s Pro-Putin / Pro-Russia Propaganda.
The Truth Behind Tucker Carlson’s Disturbing Trip To Hungary
Right-wing FOX News host Tucker Carlson is broadcasting from Hungary and praising that nation’s hardline policies.
Trump stated regarding North Korea’s brutal dictator Kim Jong Un… “He’s the head of a country and he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
John Dean, former White house counsel to Nixon, joined Keith Olbermann to explain the theories in his new book, “Conservatives Without Conscience,” which explains a lot of the behavior we see in the Republican party today.

Republicans are starting to look like authoritarian parties in Hungary and Turkey, study finds | CNN
The Republicans have become more illiberal and populist in recent decades and are now starting to resemble autocratic parties like Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s AKP, according to a new study from Sweden.
Per the above article’ “Experts from the V-Dem Institute at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden stated US Republicans are starting to look a lot like authoritarian parties like Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s AKP.
“What we see is that the disrespect of political opponents, the encouragement of violence and also the violation of minority rights … they have all clearly increased with the Republican Party in recent years, since [President Donald Trump] came in the leadership but also before that,” Anna Luehrmann, V-Dem’s deputy director and one of the lead authors of the study, told CNN”.
Hungary Is A Version Of What Trump Wants For The U.S.
Chief national correspondent at the New York Times, Mark Leibovich, and former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi, react to Fox News’ anchor Tucker Carlson’s bizarre choice to host his show from Hungary, a country with an authoritarian regime.
Rand Paul latest in GOP to question ‘democracy and majority rule’
If Rand Paul wants to criticize “democracy and majority rule,” he’ll have to do better than this.
Per the above article; “About a month before Election Day 2020, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) raised a few eyebrows by declaring via social media that the United States is “not a democracy.” The Utah Republican added soon after, “Democracy isn’t the objective”.
Eight months later, the New York Times published a report on the severity of Republican efforts to thwart our electoral system, and it quoted Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) making related comments.
“The idea of democracy and majority rule really is what goes against our history and what the country stands for,” the GOP senator said. “The Jim Crow laws came out of democracy. That’s what you get when a majority ignores the rights of others.”
At face value, it’s both unusual and jarring to see prominent Republican officials such as Lee and Paul expressing public skepticism, not about progressive governance, but about democracy itself”.
Trump is behaving like an Authoritarian Fascist Dictator
Video shows the shocking similarities between Ruthless Dictators and Trump
In a bizarre scene like you’d expect to see in a place like North Korea, Cabinet members, from Reince Priebus to Elaine Chao took turns praising Trump and the privilege of working him. These sad people understand that the only way to stay in Trump’s favor is by telling him how great he is. All the while, not a word from Republicans about this outrageous display.
Leaders who’ve called the press ‘enemies of the people’
President Trump is not the first leader to label journalists as “enemies of the people” and creators of “fake news.” Here are other political and military leaders that have used similar rhetoric to attack the press.
Trump Author: President Donald Trump Deeply Would Like To Be A Dictator
Tony Schwartz co-wrote “The Art of the Deal” with Donald Trump and he thinks the thought of starting World War III excites Trump. Schwartz also contributed to the new book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.” He joins Joy Reid to discuss the mental stability of the President.
Here’s how Trump has threatened the media
Trump called Democrats “Treasonous” for Not Standing and Clapping for him like a Dictator at his Teleprompter, Written-by-someone-else, self aggrandizing 2018 State of the Union address.
Note he equates “Our country” = HIM. This is how Dictators behave.
Appointing cronies, generals and his family? Brian Klaas’s new book “The Despot’s Apprentice: Donald Trump’s Attack on Democracy” says Trump’s actions are the same as other despots around the world

To GOP Voters: ‘You’re Not Voting For Republicans, You’re Voting For Autocracy.’
Republican Party of Oppression
The above list shows how Trump fits the check-list of notorious Authoritarian Dictators… Names on Buildings, Appoint Family Members, Fox Propaganda State TV with sycophants like Sean Hannity praising him, Multi-hour speeches, Want to Lock Up Opponents, Love other Dictators, President for Life, Pathological Lying, Hold Military Parades, etc.
Trump Sees Celebration Of Him & Celebration Of U.S. As Same Thing
Trump often accuses people of “not loving our country” who opposes HIM. If you oppose Trump, you “hate our country”. This is how dictators talk to their brainwashed followers, to make them dislike anyone who dislikes the dictator. To Trump, the United States = Donald Trump. He seems to think the United States is his and he OWNS this country.
While it’s unclear how much Trump’s 4th of July event will cost, the Washington Post reports that “The cost of a military parade Trump had planned for last year was about $92 million.” However, “that parade was scuttled after the potential costs became public.”
Opinion | George Washington Would Hate Trump’s July 4 Parade (Published 2019)
The men and women who fought in the American Revolution despised pageantry and personality cults.
“All Americans should be appalled by Trump’s July 4 Parade. Even during an era of extreme hyperbole, the unabashed narcissism driving the parade plans is astonishing. The focus on a single leader, on the construction of a cult of personality, would have incensed the men and women who sacrificed so much to create a new nation.
As Capt. Joseph Bloomfield explained to a company of New Jersey troops preparing to fight in the Revolutionary War, the American states had “entered a new era of politics.” He warned the soldiers to be on guard against the rise of an “aspiring Demagogue, possessed of popular talents and shining qualities, a Julius Caesar, or an Oliver Cromwell” who “will lay violent hands on the government and sacrifice the liberties of his country.” Click above to read the entire article.
Trump’s July 4 extravaganza sets a political trap | CNN Politics
Donald Trump’s attempt to make July Fourth great again is turning into an eloquent metaphor for the excesses and polarization of his presidency.
“Trump’s attempt to make July Fourth great again is turning into an eloquent metaphor for the excesses and polarization of his presidency. His choreography for tanks on the National Mall, war plane flyovers, his own televised address and a longer than normal red, white and blue fireworks display means that even Independence Day — for generations a rare unifying moment — will be politicized.
Instead of the “Salute to America” that he has proclaimed, Trump’s critics fear he’s really plotting a salute to himself. His latest grandiose photo op appears to be a reflection of his own vanity, obsession with crowd sizes, craving for the spotlight, penchant for military hardware and his flirtations with authoritarianism.” Click above to read the entire article.

Republicans Gaslighting & Lying to Americans
Republicans exposed for Gaslighting, Lying and constructing false histories to avoid having to deal with being associated with unpopular policies and events.
Trumpworld lies get more outrageous with a month to election
Chris Hayes: “The term ‘misinformation’ doesn’t quite do enough to capture what is happening with one half of the American two-party system. Outright brazen, dangerous, ludicrous lies in denial of the most obvious reality, the one you can see before you.”
Analyst says Trump’s ‘changing how Americans perceive reality’ with disinformation campaign
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents have been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question the lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the ‘Liberal Media’ is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.
According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.
The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.
The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.
“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.
“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.
CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”
Analysis: Telling lies has become the norm for today’s Republicans | CNN Politics
To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
Per the above article: “To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
For a minority party joining blue-collar voters driven by cultural resentment with affluent donors fixed on the bottom line, gaining and wielding power requires dissembling beyond the conventional equivocation that politicians in all parties have always used to amass popular support.
One of the GOP’s most successful political consultants of recent decades issued that judgment in a confessional 2020 memoir. Stuart Stevens titled his book: “It Was All a Lie.”
A Public Religion Research Institute poll earlier this year showed about one-fourth of Republicans are drawn to the bizarre fantasies of QAnon, a movement that contends Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government and the media.
With the 2020 big lie, Republicans use false claims of fraud to pretend Trump didn’t lose at all. In fact, House Republicans have made telling the truth about the election a disqualification. They fired Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair and ostracized Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republican members participating in a House committee investigation of January 6.”

Trump Unfit to be President
Trump was the WORST and most INCOMPETENT President in history which his own staff reportedly called a ‘Moron’ , ‘Idiot’ and ‘Dope With The Intelligence of a Kindergartner’
A book called “The Toddler in Chief” details more than 1,000 documented reports by Cabinet members, Oval Office advisers, Republican Party officials and the President himself having childlike behavior and temper tantrums. Reports claim White House aides had to treat Trump like a child in order to placate him.
Staffers claim he was unable to stay focused, had a 2 minute attention span… former DHS official claims classified memos had to be ‘dumbed down’ so he could understand them… reported to have required a ‘Special Folder’ with flattering news and photos about himself Twice a Day. Top White House officials described Trump as; “a f***ing moron”, “he tries to divide us”, “he’s an Idiot”, “a professional liar”, “thinks he God”, “like an 11 year old child”, “dumb as shit”, “dope with the intelligence of a kindergartner” & “don’t think he’s fit for office”.

Sportscaster Bob Costas Explains why Trump is the Worst President in History
“Trump is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016. He is a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits and it’s only those who are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome which is the way they and Fox News and all the rest of MAGA media try to brush aside all the legitimate criticisms of trump you have to be in delusion in an a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense emotionally psychologically intellectually or ethically fit to be president of the United States but his supporters are locked in on that.
Chief of Staff John Kelly said: the depth of his dishonesty is astonishing. He is a person who has no idea what America is all about. A person who has nothing but contempt for our Democratic institutions our constitution and the rule of law. God help us all. The Trump delusion is not going away on the right”.

‘Word salad’: Trump’s ‘sixth grade’ response to childcare legislation question
During an appearance at the Economic Club of New York, Donald Trump was asked about his plans to make childcare more affordable, which he failed to answer directly in a minute-long response to what he called a “very important issue.” Instead, Trump “weaved” to discussing his tariff policy, claiming that imposing a 10% tax on foreign nations would generate more revenue than needed to cover childcare costs.

The Dangerous Behavior of Donald Trump
Experts in this film discuss Trump’s most alarming traits.
• Pervasive pattern of grandiosity
• Inflated sense of accomplishment
• Excessive need for admiration
• Boastfulness
• Hypersensitivity to criticism
• Deceit
• Manipulation
• Lying
• Aggression

Republicans knew Trump was unfit to be President, yet all have caved, kowtowed and supported him, putting their own political careers over doing what’s best for our country
Republicans such as Marco Rubio who is today calling the Trump Guilty Verdict a ‘complete travesty‘, in 2016 called Trump a ‘Con Artist‘ who’s ‘been exploiting working Americans for 40 years’. Ted Cruz called Trump a ‘Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth’ & ‘a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen’. Rand Paul; ‘Donald Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced windbag’ & ‘my concern is that he would grab up that power and treat the country as sort of his bully fiefdom‘. Nikki Haley; ‘Donald Trump is everything I taught my children not to do in kindergarten’. Lindsey Graham; ‘he’s a race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot’ & I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office. Kellyanne Conway; ‘he says he’s for the little guy but he’s actually built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy’. Mike Pompeo; ‘Donald Trump the other day said that it quote if he tells a soldier to commit a war crime the soldier will just do it’. Glenn Beck; ‘I don’t think Donald Trump has has even read the constitution & knows what’s in the constitution’. Rick Perry; ‘a toxic mix of demagoguery and mean spiritedness and nonsense’ and Susan Collins; ‘I just cannot support Donald Trump’.
ALL of these UNPRINCIPLED, COWARDLY REPUBLICANS have put Trump, their Party and their own PERSONAL political careers above decency, our Constitution and our Country.

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”
“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.
In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.
“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”
Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.
According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;
- Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
- Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
- Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
- Needing constant admiration from others
- Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
- Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
- Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
- Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
- Pompous and arrogant demeanor.
Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Psychoanalyst: Trump Is “Delusional Psychopath” Who Needs To Be Removed Immediately
Dr. Lance Dodes joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss Trump’s mental state as he’s banned from Twitter and why he will get worse once he leaves office and faces legal jeopardy: “The more desperate he becomes, the more delusional he is, the more he needs to prove to himself ultimately that he is still a god, so the less power he has, the more stress he’s under, the more dangerous he is.” Aired on 1/9/2021.
Psychiatrist Warns That Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’ As Trials Get Closer
Per the article referenced in the above video at; salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-justin-frank-on-power-and
“Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is a lawless person — but his malign influence extends far beyond himself.
We are a society more divided than united. Many of us are anti-intellectual and don’t want to think. That makes such people attracted to strongmen and bullies like Trump. Trump has made his followers reject the truth for alternate facts – and that makes most of us insecure and uncertain about what to believe.
Trump’s “dangerous charisma” attracts already corrupt and ethically compromised people into his orbit. He also exerts a malignant perfidious influence over people who are vulnerable to such energy and temptations, but for whatever reason have not yet fully surrendered to them. This is a defining feature of dangerous leaders.
Dr. Frank continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in.” Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.
From the time Trump was five years old, he hated rules and couldn’t control himself. If Trump didn’t like something, he would convert feelings into immediate action. He threw rocks at a toddler who lived next door when he was five. He punched out his second-grade teacher because he got mad at him. As a father, Trump knocked out his son, Don Jr., when he was in high school because he wasn’t dressed appropriately. Trump has always been like this. As people age, they generally do not change; they instead become more of their true selves. His capacity for self-restraint is becoming a thinner veneer over fundamental destructiveness. He is increasingly no longer able to fake it. This is why Trump is in court acting out, mumbling, being angry and disruptive.
In my opinion, Donald Trump is a “segmental thinker”. He lives in the moment and is attracted by a shiny object and forgets everything else.
The main thing that I am worried about is the complacency of the public and specifically the country’s leaders and law enforcement and other people in positions of authority and power who are still letting Trump run wild. Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic. He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him.
Dozens Of Mental Health Professionals Sign Letter Declaring Trump Has Dementia
As Trump’s mental decline becomes even more pronounced, a petition has begun circulating online asking mental health professionals to sign on and declare that Trump does, in fact, seem to be suffering from dementia. Dozens of professionals in the mental health field have already signed onto the petition, but they are technically not able to give a real diagnosis without examining him in person.

Trump’s rhetoric has gone from bizarre to dangerous.
There’s a lot of talk about mental acuity in the 2024 presidential race. How old is “too old” to run for the highest office in the land? Donald Trump seems obsessed with proving he is more mentally fit than President Joe Biden. But in recent weeks Trump has been making more and more bizarre and confusing statements. And the odd rhetoric is now veering into more dangerous territory.
He’s A Psychopath’: Trump Insider Says Military Will Have to Haul Trump Out Of The White House
Trump’s “Art of the Deal” co-author Tony Schwartz argues “anything goes” for “psychopath” President Trump, and believes Trump will not leave the White House if he loses the election because giving up is “unthinkable” for him. This comes as Joe Biden says his “greatest concern” is that Trump would look to “steal” the 2020 election, and is “absolutely convinced” the military “will escort” Trump “from The White House with great dispatch.” Schwartz argues he has “no doubt that Trump will do everything he possibly can,” to “try to steal this election.
Psychiatrist Points Out Unusual Trump Trait That Could Point To Dementia
More and more mental health professionals continue to sound the alarm about Donald Trump’s mental state, with the latest being Dr. Elizabeth Zoffman. Dr. Zoffman says that there is something off about the way that Donald Trump walks and moves, and these abnormalities, she says, are consistent with a form of dementia. She goes on to list other areas of concern, but it is his motor skills that are setting off the biggest alarms.
Psychologist Reminds Us We’re Ignoring Trump’s Glaring Mental Disorders
Renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert called out not just Donald Trump but the entire country for ignoring Trump’s very obvious mental decline on Twitter early this week, after Trump claimed that he had “great and unmatched wisdom.” The President’s brain is coming apart at the seams, and something must be done about this.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in his new memoir “A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Secretary of Defense During Extraordinary Times”, that President Trump suggested to him at least twice during the summer of 2020 that the United States could “shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs,” and that it could be done secretly. Trump even said the operation could be conducted “quietly” and that the U.S. could simply deny it had anything to do with it. “No one would know it was us,” Trump said, according to Esper.
Trump also suggested shooting migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and shooting Black Lives Matter protesters demonstrating outside of the White House. “Can’t you just shoot them?” Trump asked, according to Esper.

Trump shows ‘willful ignorance’ on intelligence.
Citing multiple in-person episodes, intelligence officials say Trump displays what one called “willful ignorance” when presented with analyses generated by intelligence services. The officials describe futile attempts to keep his attention by using visual aids, confining some briefing points to two or three sentences, and repeating his name and title as frequently as possible.
What is most troubling, say these officials and others in government and on Capitol Hill who have been briefed on the episodes, are Trump’s angry reactions when he is given information that contradicts positions he has taken or beliefs he holds. Two intelligence officers even reported that they have been warned to avoid giving the President intelligence assessments that contradict stances he has taken in public.

Mitch McConnell Makes Shocking Admission That Wealthy Donors Own Republican Senators
Republican Senator Josh Hawley has introduced a piece of legislation that would ban publicly-traded companies from spending money on politics, and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is absolutely furious. According to reports, McConnell snapped at Hawley during a Republican lunch meeting this week, and McConnell reminded Hawley that without big money donors they wouldn’t have seats in the Senate. This is a clear admission that wealthy donors are buying seats for Republicans.
Republicans Must Lie to Survive
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents have been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question the lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the ‘Liberal Media’ is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.
According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.
The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.
The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.
“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.
“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.
CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”
Analysis: Telling lies has become the norm for today’s Republicans | CNN Politics
To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
Per the above article: “To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
For a minority party joining blue-collar voters driven by cultural resentment with affluent donors fixed on the bottom line, gaining and wielding power requires dissembling beyond the conventional equivocation that politicians in all parties have always used to amass popular support.
One of the GOP’s most successful political consultants of recent decades issued that judgment in a confessional 2020 memoir. Stuart Stevens titled his book: “It Was All a Lie.”
A Public Religion Research Institute poll earlier this year showed about one-fourth of Republicans are drawn to the bizarre fantasies of QAnon, a movement that contends Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government and the media.
With the 2020 big lie, Republicans use false claims of fraud to pretend Trump didn’t lose at all. In fact, House Republicans have made telling the truth about the election a disqualification. They fired Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair and ostracized Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republican members participating in a House committee investigation of January 6.”

The GOP has a new strategy to win the 2024 election… just lie until people vote for them.
Politifact debunks Trump’s allegations of “fraud and a stolen election”. Additional false statements debunked include; “The Harris-Biden Administration fraudulently manipulating Job Statistics”… “Harris’ Aug. 7 rally near Detroit was AI-generated and there was nobody there”… “Joe Biden is letting millions of people from jails, from prisons, from insane asylums, from mental institutions, drug dealers pour in”… “Kamala Harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses against their will to give chemical castration drugs to young children”… “During the 2020 Minnesota riots after George Floyd’s murder, Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, so I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis”… “Eighty-two percent of the country understands that the 2020 election was rigged”… “There is no evidence Joe Biden won”… “In 2020, the ballots that were counted were fake ballots”… “Democrats used COVID to cheat in the 2020 election”.
Trump falsely accuses Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary. Trump falsely accuses Ted Cruz’s father of being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.

Video proves Ted Cruz to be a lying partisan hack claiming on Fox News, January 6 “Protestors” (actually Rioters) were peaceful while he calls Abortion Rights Protestors THUGS. Cruz accuses “Democrats & the Corporate Media” of slandering January 6 Rioters. Fox News is complicit in perpetuating the lie by failing to state the facts about January 6 and push back.
Ted Cruz ABSOLUTELY ROASTED using his own words in Viral Supercut
Ted Cruz shamelessly smeared peaceful protesters speaking out against the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade while defending the January 6 insurrection. Francis Maxwell rolls the tape and exposes Ted’s hypocrisy.
After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump refused to admit defeat and claimed without any proof that the election was stolen. 5 deaths were attributed to his inciting violence to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021.
Republicans Lied about Capital Riots, Blaming Antifa to deflect responsibility away from their own lies about the 2020 Election being “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide” with NO PROOF to back up their false claims. It’s important to note that they hate Antifa because Republicans are Fascists who hate Democracy. Fascists around the world uses lies and conspiracy theories to advance Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Regimes (like Russia blaming Ukraine for the war Putin started).

2 Weeks after the Election was called for Joe Biden, Pundits from the FOX Republican Propaganda Network Made False Claims (LIED) about the results nearly 800 times
Fox News repeatedly aided Trump’s efforts to undermine election results, laying the groundwork to cry foul if Trump lost, echoing debunked theories of fraud, pushing the idea that Democrats are trying to “steal” this from him, and arguing that Trump is justified in pursuing his claims of a rigged election. This pattern of coverage continued in the lead-up to the day of the riots.
Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he never believed Trump was cheated of victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they are not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”. Also, the more people who watches, the more money they can bring in for advertising.
Most of FOX’s viewers probably have no idea that Fox can legally LIE to them, so they believe everything they see & hear on FOX.

Republicans Are Lying About Social Security
REPUBLICANS LYING ABOUT 87000 IRS AGENTS COMING FOR YOU |
Desperate that they are LOSING in the polls because their repressive policies are so unpopular (such as anti-abortion laws forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to her rapists child), Republicans invent a NEW conspiracy claiming; “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you”, “The “IRS is “Joe Biden’s new army” that will “hunt down and kill middle class that don’t pay enough” and Senator Chuck Grassley; “Are they coming for taxpayers with loaded AR-15’s?”.
Republicans are LIARS who will do & say whatever to takes to scare gullible people into voting for them to stay in power. Here’s some of Republican’s FEAR MONGERING tweets…
Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele Calls out Republicans Chuck Grassley, Ted Cruz and others for lying about 87,000 IRS Agents coming after Businesses & the Middle Class
This is the same type of fear mongering and lies we heard from Republicans claiming there would be “Death Panels” after President Obama and Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act which gave millions of people Health Care. These are the same Republicans who echoed Trump’s “BIG LIE” that the 2020 Election was “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide”. Believing Republican’s lies can have devastation consequences, such as deaths and incarceration of those who participated in storming the capital.
LIES and FEAR tactics is ALL Republicans have to offer.
The IRS is NOT increasing audits on middle class by hiring 87K new agent
Per the above article; “Republicans have seized on a particularly gross conspiracy theory to justify their ridiculous claim that all of this somehow impacts the personal freedoms of every day Trump voters: “87,000 new IRS agents.”
“The Biden Admin has fully weaponized DOJ & FBI to target their political enemies. And with 87K new IRS agents, they’re coming for YOU too,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., tweeted last Monday, always eager to be out there first with the most shameless Republican rhetoric.
“Who do you think they’ll weaponize the 87,000 IRS agents against? The answer is obvious. Their political enemies,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., tweeted, always eager to beat Cruz in the race to the bottom.
Unsurprisingly, the talking point spread, with the right-wing conspiracy theory machine hyping the idea that IRS agents are about to kick down a door and kidnap your family — and worse, your guns — any minute now. Fox News, always eager to muddy the waters when Trump commits crimes, got heavily involved.”
Jim Jordan and Republicans are using Intimation Tactics to STOP Fact Finding Researchers from Exposing Republican’s LIES
Why? Because Republicans are corporate boot-lickers who are bought and paid for by the RICH and Big Business Corporations. Their job is to protect the rich and corporate interests at all costs, by lying, cheating or doing what-ever it takes. So low information, unformed, brainwashed people continues to vote for them, against their own best interests.

Right-wingers – we call them Republicans here in the US – haven’t changed their strategies much at all over the years – that Romney and Ryan are following an old, old pattern. According to Godwin’s Law – the first person to use a Hitler comparison in an argument – loses. Well…call me a loser – and call President Franklin Roosevelt a loser too – because in 1944 – while running for re-election – Roosevelt compared the Republican’s political strategy that year to Hitler’s. Now don’t expect President Obama to compare Republicans to Hitler like Roosevelt did. He shouldn’t. But he should call out the liars – and use the actual word “liar” in doing so. Because if he doesn’t – then the propaganda machine on the Right won’t stop – and he could be left wondering, on November 7th, how he lost an election when the Republican and Rove and Koch Brothers attack ads were all filled with lies – big, big lies. Consider it a warning, Mr. President. Oh, and one more thing – in that same speech that Roosevelt called out Republicans for using Hitler’s techniques – he also called them out for suppressing the vote – which just so happens to be the Republican strategy today too – right alongside lying. The more things change – the more they stay the same
