Barack Obama Donald Trump Trump Supporters WTF?!

Right-Wing Activist Says The MAGA Movement Was Created Because ‘We Want A White Obama’

According to right-wing activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the Donald Trump/MAGA movement was created because Republicans were looking for “a white Obama.”

During a podcast at a pastors’ summit on Wednesday, Kirk seemed to admit that the GOP had some blatantly racist motivations when they nominated the failed one-term former president in 2016.

“The Obama movement was larger than life,” Kirk said. “They rode this idea of candidate enthusiasm and this idea of hope and change and all of that. But you live by the sword, you die by the sword.”

“And Obama got re-elected in 2012, but then Republican voters said, our turn,” he added. “We want a white Obama.”

Only Trump (who suggested that Obama was illegitimate and wasn’t even born in the United States, despite his birth in Hawaii) could fill the bill of a white Obama, Kirk explained:

“And the only, I mean, you’ve got Jeb Bush, you had Marco Rubio, and who was the only person that could potentially play the charismatic game as talented as Barack Obama? Donald Trump.”

Donald Trump is the white Obama? That may well be one of the dumbest things to ever ooze from the mouth of a Trump worshiper.

Let’s do a quick compare and contrast:

  • Obama was about hope and change for the better. Trump was about hatred and taking the country back to the days when blacks weren’t allowed to eat in the same restaurants as whites.
  • President Obama stressed equality and inclusion. Trump used veiled white nationalism and fear of others to accomplish his rise to the presidency.
  • Obama is a man of intellect, decency, and kindness. Trump is a lowlife thug who revels in ignorance, preaches division, and loves no one but himself.

Trump humpers think they’ve found the white Obama? All they’ve found is a rehash of George Wallace circa 1963. No wonder they love the evil he represents.

Congress GOP Impeachment Joe Biden

WATCH: CNN Host Swats Down Matt Gaetz For Lying About GOP’s Bogus Impeachment Inquiry

On Tuesday, without a formal vote of the full House of Representatives, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) instructed the relevant House committees to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

In his announcement, McCarthy said, “These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. They warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.”

McCarthy’s move was a complete capitulation to extremists in the House GOP caucus. One of those members, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), later praised McCarthy’s move, but also suggested he might call for the Speaker’s removal, Newsweek notes:

“I rise today to serve notice: Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate, total compliance or remove you pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair,” Gaetz said on the House floor.

“So we’re either going to get compliance, or we’re going to start having votes on motions to vacate, and we’re gonna have them regularly. I don’t anticipate them passing immediately. But I think that, you know, if we have to begin every single day in Congress with the prayer, the pledge and the motion to vacate, so be it.”

Gaetz appeared on CNN Tuesday evening to explain why he supported the impeachment inquiry called for by McCarthy, citing “bank records, devices, laptops, travel records” as “evidence” of high crimes and misdemeanors by President Biden.

But when host Abby Phillip explained that Republicans have yet to provide a shred of actual evidence against the president, a flabbergasted Gaetz exclaimed, “Are you trying to tell your viewers you don’t believe Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s–“

Phillip responded:

“Congressman, it’s not what I believe, it’s about whether there is evidence that president Biden is linked to the misdeeds that might be linked to Hunter Biden. That’s the issue.”

There is absolutely no evidence of crimes by President Biden. There are only accusations without any substance and constant mentions of alleged misdeeds by the president’s son, Hunter, who has never worked a day in the administration, unlike Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who were top advisers to failed former president Donald Trump and later received a $2 billion payoff of gratitude from a Saudi investment firm.

House Republicans are about to go down a road that will lead to them getting wiped out in the 2024 election, so at least something good will come from their idiocy.

GOP WTF?!

Lauren Boebert Booted From Denver Theater For ‘Causing A Disturbance’

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was kicked out of a Denver theater over the weekend for “causing a disturbance,” including vaping during a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical, singing during the performance, and attempting to record portions of the event.

According to The Denver Post, Boebert and another patron were asked to leave the musical after being warned during intermission about their behavior.

The incident report states that after receiving the intermission warning, about five minutes into the second act security officials received “another complaint about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording.” Taking pictures or recording is not permitted at shows.

The report quotes one of the ushers: “They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would (be) going to get Denver Police. They said go get them.”

Boebert’s office confirmed that the congresswoman did indeed get the heave-ho from “Beetlejuice,” with Drew Sexton remarking:

“I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice.'”

Boebert is running for reelection in 2024, and recent polls have shown she has a very good chance of losing to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.

An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.

If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.

Donald Trump May Have Just Had His Own Mitch McConnell ‘Freezing’ Episode

Failed one-term, twice-impeached, and oft-indicted former president Donald Trump and his supporters love to make fun of President Joe Biden, suggesting that Biden is too old and senile to be head of state, even though he’s only three years older than the Donald.

Trump has also attacked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as being too feeble to remain in the upper chamber of Congress, especially in light of recent public episodes McConnell had in which he “froze” in public, unable to answer questions asked by the press.

But could it be that the disgraced ex-president had his own “freezing” moment during a rally in South Dakota over the weekend?

That’s the question being asked by podcast host Dean Obeidallah, who posted a video of Trump at the South Dakota rally in which Donnie stops speaking in the middle of his speech.

Be sure and note what can only be called a look of terror on Trump’s face at frames 0:37-0:39 of the video. It’s almost as if he knows he can no longer speak and realizes he’s experiencing an episode he may not be able to recover from.

Granted, Trump could have been posing for effect, to heighten the gravity of what he’s saying. Or perhaps he got lost and wasn’t sure what his next line should be.

Watch the video closely a second time and ask yourself: Is Donald Trump too old and senile to be president? Based on the visual evidence, it would seem the answer is a resounding yes.

Twitter users had some thoughts on the Trump freeze.

Donald Trump Ivanka Trump The Trump Adminstration WTF?!

Former Staffer: Donald Trump Often Fantasized About Having Sex With Ivanka

According to a former top administration official who had regular access to failed one-term, twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump, sexual comments about female staffers and even the ex-president’s daughter, Ivanka, were common in the Trump administration, which led to a hostile work environment that made many inside the White House uncomfortable.

Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, has written a book entitled Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, and in he reveals that the former president was constantly making inappropriate comments, according to Newsweek.

These incidents included, the book says, claims by aides that Trump made lewd comments about his daughter Ivanka’s appearance and talked about “what it might be like to have sex with her.” This prompted a rebuke from his chief of staff, the book says.


“There still are quite a few female leaders from the Trump administration who have held their tongues about the unequal treatment they faced in the administration at best, and the absolute naked sexism they experienced with the hands of Donald Trump at worst,” Taylor explained.

Taylor said he immediately noticed Trump’s disgusting behavior and comments when he was briefing the then-president.

He recalls witnessing such behavior first-hand in meetings with Trump and Kirstjen Nielsen, who was secretary of homeland security from 2017 to 2019.

“When we were with him, Kirstjen did her best to ignore the president’s inappropriate behavior,” Taylor writes in his book. “He called her ‘sweetie’ and ‘honey,’ and critiqued her makeup and outfits.”

After a crass comment from Trump, he recalls Nielsen whispering to him: “Trust me, this is not a healthy workplace for women.” Nielsen has been contacted for comment.

But the worst of Trump’s remarks were about Ivanka, Taylor writes.

“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.
“Afterward, Kelly retold that story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was ‘a very, very evil man.'”

The bottom line for voters, Taylor notes, is that they need to know the sort of man they might put in White House a second time, which would be a disaster.

“He’s a pervert, he’s difficult to deal with. This is still the same man and, incredibly, we’re considering electing him to the presidency again.”

Trump has said inappropriate things about Ivanka in the past.

During a joint appearance with her on “The View” in 2006, he commented, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her. Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?”

And in 2015, Trump told Rolling Stone, “She’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…”

Donald Trump belongs behind prison bars for whatever is left of his life. Not just for the crimes that have led to indictments, but also for being a disgusting sexist and misogynist who thinks it’s cool to lust after his own daughter.
