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”.

5 Speeches by Republicans speaking out against Trump and endorsing Kamala Harris.
Trump was the WORST and most INCOMPETENT President in history
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”.
Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton says World Leaders considered Trump to be a “laughing fool”
Republicans such as Marco Rubio who called Trump’s 34 Count 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 even read the constitution & knows what’s in the constitution’. Susan Collins; ‘I just cannot support Donald Trump’. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry called Trump a cancer on conservatism” and “a barking carnival act”. “He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. Let no one be mistaken – Donald Trump’s candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.”.
REPUBLICANS voting to overturn the 2020 election, defending TRUMP no matter what, failing to Impeach Trump when he deserved to be Impeached, disparaging Court Proceedings in New York in which TRUMP was held accountable for paying Hush Money to keep the American people in the dark about his adulterous affairs to influence the outcome of the 2016 election… being outraged over Trump’s well deserved 34 Count Guilty Verdict, claiming the Trial was a ‘SHAM’, ‘Election Interference’, ‘Politically Motivated’, threatening REVENGE & RETRIBUTION, prove REPUBLICANS ARE LAWLESS SCUM OF THE EARTH who have NO DECENCY, NO MORALS, NO SHAME, NO PRINCIPLES, have put PARTY, POLITICS & POLITICAL CAREERS above all else and are UNFIT to hold PUBLIC OFFICE.

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.

Video shows Trump is a Fascist
Republicans admitting they want a dictatorship and want to eliminate Democracy
POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press
43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll
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.
Rules of the Demagogue
Republicans are Fascists who want to DESTROY Democracy in the United States
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.
Trump Endorses Right-Wing Autocrat In Hungary
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and former FBI special agent Clint Watts discuss with Nicolle Wallace the former president’s endorsement of Viktor Orban ahead of the Parliamentary elections in Hungary.
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
The Trump Administration is attempting to destroy democracy and turn the United States into an authoritarian country. Amy Siskind keeps track of the authoritarian actions taken by the Trump Administration.
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.”

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.

The GOP has a new strategy to win the 2024 election… just lie until people vote for them.
The above video show false statements debunked by Politifact such as Trump’s allegations of “fraud and a stolen election”, “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 accused Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary and 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“.

Republicans told outrageous lies about Democrats at the 1st GOP Debate in August 2023 claiming they’re for Abortions up until Birth as a scare tacit to deflect from their own Radical Anti-Abortion policies such as NO exceptions for rape or incest, forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to a rapists child, prison sentences if a woman gets an abortion and laws allowing Anti-Abortion Vigilantes to sue anyone who assists a women seeking an abortion for $10,000.

Ted Cruz Lies About January 6 Protestors Being Peaceful
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.
BUSTED! The Dishonest Methods FOX Uses to Make Their Viewers Disrespect and Hate Joe Biden

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.

Robert Reich Debunks 6 Big Republican Lies About The Economy
FDR Exposes the Origins of the Romney/Ryan “Big Lie”
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

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.

Foreign Diplomats Call Trump A Laughing Stock Who Is Obsessed With Obama
Trump is not a ‘super genius,’ but rather he is an unstable incompetent narcissist who conned his way into the White House with help of foreign interference.
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”.
Republicans 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’.

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.

Axios managed to get a copy of Trump’s official schedule and you can see that the majority of his time is allocated to “Executive time”.
Per an article at; thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2020/11/15/how-many-times-president-donald-trump-played-golf-in-office-103836/
“Since taking office on Jan. 20, 2017, Mr. Trump has reportedly been on the grounds of his golf courses or played golf elsewhere 296 times since becoming President, and that’s as of Nov. 15, 2020.
The cost of Trump’s golf rounds to the American taxpayer varies by round and course, but it has totaled so far in the tens of millions of dollars. The Secret Service has spent at least $550,000 in third-party golf cart rentals and over $500,000 to stay overnight at Trump-owned properties, including his New Jersey country club.
He previously was on pace to visit his golf clubs more than 650 times in an eight-year presidency. However, his pace as of Aug. 6, 2018 now indicates Trump would spend as much as 745 days of his presidency at a golf course if he wins a second term and serves both terms to completion.
Trump ended 2017 with 91 golf course visits and was just shy of 100 visits in Year 1 as President. In his second year as President, Trump played golf 76 times.
Trump has spent nearly 22 percent of his days in office at one of his golf properties for some portion of the day. There have been days where Trump has visited one of his golf clubs and not played golf. He made a 40-minute visit to his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., and he has made a three-day visit to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., to watch the 2017 US Women’s Open, unfolding at that club. Trump spent a 17-day “working vacation” at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., in August, which meant all of those days count as days on his golf courses, even though he didn’t necessarily play golf on all of those days”.
Trump Family Has Already Taken 12 Times More Vacations Than Obama

Trump & J.D. Vance Attacks Against Tim Waltz Condemned
Ex-Minnesota Governor / Navy Seal Jesse Ventura calls JD Vance’s criticism of Walz’s military record ‘despicable’
“I think it’s shameful that a veteran would attack another veteran. Governor Walt served honorably for 24 years in the National Guard. After 20 years, you are eligible to retire at any time you deem necessary. They talk about him missing his deployment. Well, maybe Mr. Vance should ask the real question. What is the National Guard doing deploying to a foreign country in a foreign war? Well, let’s go into history and figure out how that happened. That happened because George W. Bush and Dick Cheney went into the Iraq War based on lies, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to al-Qaeda, nothing with 9-11, and they ran out of bodies. They needed more bodies. They couldn’t implement a draft. That would be political suicide. So what George Bush did was sign an executive order sending the National Guard into foreign deployment.
The National Guard is not for foreign deployment. Their name says what they do. They guard our nation from within. So this hogwash about Governor Walt’s missing a deployment, not only that, he’s 24 years, he’s an E9. I deployed twice. We never even had an E9 with us when we deployed. E9s are not going to walk the point. They’re not going to be involved in any combat whatsoever. They’re figureheads being the most senior enlisted within their company, and that’s what it’s all about. So I think that Vance is doing a disservice to himself and a disservice to the United States Marine Corps. I know a lot of great Marines, and Marines show respect, and Vance is not showing respect. Who does he have respect for?
Donald Trump, the biggest draft dodger from the Vietnam War, the rich white boy who bought his way out of it. I come from South Minneapolis. My friends and I didn’t get out of it. We either got drafted or we enlisted. I know six or seven or eight of my friends. Donald Trump was your typical rich white boy who didn’t have to serve in Vietnam because he could buy his way out of it. And that’s who Vance is standing with, this guy who leads from the rear. Then why do you think, given all that you’ve described from the politics, the history, and of course, the person who’s on the top of the ticket, who has been criticized for the bone spurs reason for not going to serve.
So why do you think this is the line of attack to choose politically? Obviously, it would offend and alienate voters on one level and also people who have served the armed forces on the other. I don’t know. You’d have to ask Mr. Vance that. I don’t understand his motive whatsoever, how he could turn against a fellow veteran. You know, there’s kind of an unwritten rule amongst us veterans. You don’t criticize another veteran. As a frog man in the United States Navy, my job was to ensure the Marines could get to shore to do their job. We went in ahead of them. We went in before them to ensure the Marines could land. And his point of being a Marine like he is and then criticizing the governor after 24 years of service, it’s despicable on his behalf for doing that. And I hope all veterans feel like I do about it. You don’t criticize another veteran and how they served.”

Chris LaCivita is reprising his 2004 attacks, this time against Dem VP nominee Tim Walz and for the benefit of Trump, who famously avoided serving in Vietnam.
Per the above article: “Chris LaCivita is reprising his 2004 attacks, this time against Dem VP nominee Tim Walz and for the benefit of Trump, who famously avoided serving in Vietnam.
Trump’s campaign, run by LaCivita, and its allies are accusing Walz of abandoning his Guard unit just as it was about to be deployed to Iraq and for falsely suggesting in his earlier congressional campaigns that he had seen combat in a previous overseas posting.
“He’s going to be a household name,” LaCivita boasted in a social media post. “Like turpentine when we get done with him.”
LaCivita, 58, did not respond to HuffPost queries about why, given the wounds he received and blood he personally shed on behalf of the United States during the first Gulf War, he had chosen to work for a man who has for decades mocked military service.
In a recent interview with The Atlantic, LaCivita indicated that morals did not enter into his calculations when deciding whom to work for. “I never put myself in a position of judging somebody,” he said.
“People hire me to beat Democrats. That’s what I do. That’s what Chris LaCivita does. He beats Democrats, period.”
Trump avoided getting sent to Vietnam in the 1960s by claiming he had bone spurs in his feet — even though he remained active in sports ― and finding a doctor who was a friend and tenant of his wealthy and influential father to write a note for him. Years later, he compared his own fears of contracting sexually transmitted diseases through his many encounters with women in that time period with the risks faced by U.S. troops in the jungles of Indochina”.

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.
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.”
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents has been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question 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.
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.”

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“
The REPUBLICAN party has NOTHING to offer except LIES, Divisive Social Issues, taking away Women’s Rights, Cutting / Eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Attacking / Demonizing LGBT’s, giving Tax Breaks to the RICH, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction and other anti-democratic tactics to prevent people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for them.
