Donald Trump Elections GOP WTF?!

Paranoid Trump Tells Newsmax That The United States Will End In Three Years

With excerpts of the latest book from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa making headlines, failed, one-term former President Donald Trump had to find the nearest right-wing media outlet and vent his spleen, suggesting that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley is a “traitor” and predicting that the United States will end in three years time.

Appearing on Sean Spicer’s evening Newsmax show, Trump began by whining that “our country has gone really downhill in the last eight months like nobody’s ever seen before.”

Actually, our country has never been stronger. The economy is doing great, more Americans are getting vaccinated for COVID, and the United States is once again respected and admired because we have a stable, caring person in the White House.

Trump then made his prediction of what he thinks will happen in the near future:

“And you go to these elections coming up in ’22 and ’24 — we’re not going to have a country left. The election was rigged and we’re not going to have a country left in three years, I’ll tell you that.”

The election was not rigged, and there isn’t a shred of evidence to suggest otherwise. Trump is just upset he lost by a huge margin and is now facing indictment and imprisonment on any number of crimes.

And then there was the matter of Gen. Milley, who, according to Woodward and Costa, assured his Chinese counterpart the U.S. would not launch a surprise strike on China during Trump’s final days in office:

“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

According to Trump, if that’s true, it’s “treason.” Coming from an alleged traitor, that’s pretty damn rich.

The failed ex-president then added:

“It’s totally ridiculous. I never thought of it. For him to say that I would even think about attacking China, I think he’s trying to just get out of his incompetent withdrawal out of Afghanistan.”

Why is Trump so upset? Because he knows every word of the new book is true and it shows what a sick, twisted, insane little man he is.

Jan. 6 Rioter Calls Newsmax From Lockup To Whine That He Wants To Go Home

Christopher Worrell wants us to feel sorry for him even though he got himself arrested for being one of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6 and now can only think of going home instead of being locked up in pretrial detention.

Worrell is also a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist, neo-fascist gang of thugs that promotes and engages in political violence across the United States.

But according to Worrell, he’s ever so sorry for what he did and thinks the government should give him a break because he’s suffering from a disease and needs urgent medical attention.

During a phone interview with Newmax host Greg Kelly, Worrell whined for nearly ten minutes, telling Kelly:

“The regrets I have is, I mean, nobody I knew, talking to, during or after, had any idea that anything like that was going to occur on that day. None of us had any tendencies or anything other than the preach our First Amendment rights and protest our tyrannical government, it seems like, you know, they’re just worried about their own political agenda.”

Boo freaking hoo! You were in the wrong place at the wrong time, huh, Christopher? Then how do you explain the fact that you’re also charged with using pepper spray on a law enforcement officer? That’s not a protest; it’s assault and battery.

That’s not all Worrell had to say.

Once he had whined and sounded as if he was about to cry as he alleged that he’s not getting adequate medical treatment for his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he remarked:

“I have another court hearing coming up soon, and we’re hoping the courts are going to see, but, you know, they’re just, they’re mistreating me. They promised me treatment way back in April, and yet here I am, still 166 days later with no treatment, so that’s our plan and our hope that the courts have a little bit of compassion, let me go home to get some medical urgent medical treatment that I need.”

They’re mistreating him? Did he think being in jail would be a pleasant experience? If Chris Worrell was so damn concerned about his health, he should have stayed home on Jan. 6 instead of going to Washington looking for blood and oozing hate from every pore.

Why should we have a shred of sympathy for Worrell or any of the others awaiting their day in court? Are we supposed to buy their bullshit excuses and believe their crocodile tears now that they’re facing a long stint in prison?

There’s an old saying that was popular way back when on a show that ran in the 1970s. The show was called “Baretta” and it featured actor Robert Blake in the lead role. The theme song had this line in it:

“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”

That’s my advice for the traitors who stormed the Capitol. You did the crime, and now you have to do the time. End of story.

Newsmax Guest: Teaching Kids About Slavery Will Lead To ‘Death Camps’ For White People

Over the years, there’s been some absolutely moronic, absurd, and misleading shit said on right-wing media, most notably Fox News, which is infamous for trafficking in lies and conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact or grounding in reality.

But in today’s wide-open media bouillabaisse of anything goes inanity — fueled in part by the explosion of social media platforms and ubiquity of the internet everywhere you go — we have even more extreme mutant strains of nutbaggery such as Newsmax, where today’s batshit, head-shaking headline originated with a discussion of “critical race theory” which led to a guest warning that teaching about slavery and how whites have treated blacks in the United States over the centuries will result in “death camps” for white people.

Those words came from right-wing radio host Michael Savage, who told Newsmax hosts Steve Cortes and Jenn Pellegrino that there’s already violence against whites all over the country:

“And now they’re beating up white children in schoolrooms. And I’m not going to mince words. You can cut me off if you have to. I know you probably agree with me. I can’t take this anymore. And there’s only one solution to it—sue the goddamn schools if they do it to your child for child abuse, and you will win.”

Yeah, kids didn’t start beating each other up until racism became a topic of discussion, right, Michael? As for suing for child abuse, can we also sue parents who voted for Trump and believe his bullshit? Seems only fair, don’t you agree?

Rather than provide proof of his specious assertions, Savage went full douche and brought up Nazi Germany and the Holocaust:

“The same kind of thing started in Germany. The Jews were no good. The Jews did this. The Jews did that. The next thing you know they were being excluded from swimming pools. They didn’t put them in concentration camps overnight.

“I studied this intimately. I am Jewish. I know how this starts. Attacks on white people is exactly what was done to the Jews in Germany in the 1930s. Don’t fall for this garbage. This is the road to the death camps. Stand up to these bastards and sue them!”

Jewish Americans were once excluded from public swimming pools, clubs, and schools in this country, too. Did it lead to concentration camps? No. It led to reforms, change, and a growth in American consciousness that allowed this country to evolve and realize the ignorance of such discrimination.

We have to understand where we’ve been as a nation in order to make sure we don’t repeat the past endlessly and lose our souls. Learning from history — even the dark and controversial parts — is how we prevent repeating it.

Newsmax Host Says The Biden Administration Will Make It Impossible For Trees To Breathe

Though it’s hard to believe, there are right-wing media outlets that are even more extreme and moronic than Fox News. They don’t have nearly the audience of Fox, but they are seen by hundreds of thousands, especially online.

One of those other outlets that you may have heard of is Newsmax, which is owned by a good friend of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump, Christopher Ruddy.

John Bachman is a host on Newsmax, and he wants us all to know that the Biden administration’s plan to combat climate change will result in trees being unable to breathe.

Bachman played a video clip of climate czar John Kerry was discussing technology that could potentially remove excess greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And he seemed startled by the idea of what Kerry had just said, apparently believing that it would involve removing all of the carbon dioxide from the planet, making it impossible for trees to breathe:

“If we take all the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, what’re the trees going to turn into oxygen?”

Of course, anyone with a fifth-grade education knows there’s far too much CO2 in the atmosphere and that no one is suggesting we remove all of it. That wouldn’t make any sense. And clearly John Bachman has zero in the way of sense. Sounds like he’s been huffing way too much carbon dioxide and not getting enough oxygen to his already stunted brain.
