Why Is Trump Suddenly Bringing Up The Infamous ‘Pee Tape’ Again?

Something very strange happened at disgraced former president Donald Trump’s rally in Youngstown, Ohio on Saturday evening.

Out of nowhere in the middle of Trump’s speech to his cult members/supporters, he suddenly brought up the matter of the infamous “pee tape” from the dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.

Remember the pee tape allegation? It went something like this: While he was visiting Moscow, Trump stayed in a hotel that had once hosted Barack and Michelle Obama during an official state visit. Trump booked the same suite the Obamas had used, hired two Russian hookers, had them come up to the room and urinate on the bed. It was never clear if Trump was on the bed as the peeing took place, but that was the implication, and it enraged the Donald when he found out such a sordid affair had his name attached to it.

So it was a bit strange when Trump referenced that videotape in his speech, but he most certainly did, according to Business Insider:

“How would you like to be me and go home and explain that one to my wife? ‘Darling, it wasn’t true, I swear it wasn’t!'” Trump said while speaking at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Saturday.

“Remember that one? With the hookers from Russia,” he said, adding that the allegations were “phony.”

If it’s so phony, why even bring up the topic? Guilty conscience? Or could there have been evidence from U.S. intelligence in those classified documents he was hoarding at Mar-a-Lago? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Oddly enough, Trump did the same thing during a speech to a group of Republicans in Palm Beach last year:

“I’m not into golden showers.”

Sure thing, Donnie, but you sure do like to repeatedly deny something you claim is phony.

GOP WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Electric Airplanes Will Actually Be Powered Like ‘Slave Ships’

 

The GOP in 2022 is the party of luddites who are opposed to any new scientific or technological advance, usually because they don’t understand what they’re talking about, but sometimes because they simply don’t want to miss an opportunity to “own the libs,” as they refer to their willful ignorance in service of political ends.

Such is the case with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is one of the dumbest members of Congress and also loves being an agitator when it serves her dreams of political advancement.

Greene was speaking in Texas over the weekend when she referenced a report that Air Canada had announced it would be buying 30 electric airplanes, which was reported earlier this week by Business Insider:

Air Canada is one step closer to becoming a greener company.

The Montréal-based airline announced Thursday that it had ordered 30 of Heart Aerospace’s ES-30 electric aircraft. Air Canada has also gained a $5 million equity stake in the Swedish manufacturer. 

Scheduled to enter service in 2028, the plane is set to seat 30 passengers in a two-by-one configuration and fly up to 124 miles, or 200 kilometers, when in all-electric mode. 

The range can extend to 249 miles when the battery is supplemented by generators and 497 miles when the capacity is limited to 25 people, according to Air Canada.

That led Greene to semi-jokingly suggest that the way the electric planes would actually be powered involved the passengers being whipped to row in unison to make the propellers spin. You know, like they did on “slave ships,” the congresswoman said.

Isn’t that hilarious? It’s always fun to compare green technology that will benefit everyone to slavery. Because, hey, that’s comedy gold, right?

Actually, it’s the height of being a moron, which is one thing that Ms. Greene has always excelled at.

Holidays Melania Trump WTF?!

Melania Trump Has A 2022 Christmas Ornament For Sale And It’s BEYOND Pathetic

You may recall that former first lady Melania Trump once pitched a fit when speaking with a friend about all she had to do around the White House during the holidays.

According to CNN, a secret recording made by former friend and senior adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff featured Melania fuming.

“I’m working … my a** off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

She continued, “OK, and then I do it and I say that I’m working on Christmas and planning for the Christmas and they said, ‘Oh, what about the children that they were separated?’ Give me a f****** break. Where they were saying anything when Obama did that? I can not go, I was trying get the kid reunited with the mom. I didn’t have a chance – needs to go through the process and through the law.”

How festive! Let’s all whine about decorating to get us into the Christmas spirit. Nothing says Christmas like hateful cursing and self-pity.

Now that her husband is no longer president, however, Melania needs to try and make a few bucks, so she’s all about Christmas and hoping that people will fork over money for the ornaments she helped design and is now selling.

MarketWatch reports:

The former first lady is introducing a series of holiday decorations. One of them, dubbed “The Christmas Star,” will be sold for $45 through her website. And a separate line of six ornaments, billed as “The American Christmas Collection,” is being sold through a company called USA Memorabilia with the baubles priced at $35 apiece.

And that’s not all. Every ornament is packaged with a corresponding animated NFT — minted on the Solana blockchain, according to the Melania Trump and USA Memorabilia websites. The ornaments are made in the U.S. and each one features Melania Trump’s signature.

Of particular interest is this ornament, which is “themed around Melania Trump’s ‘Be Best’ initiative aimed at supporting children.”

Would you want that on your Christmas tree? If so, then chances are pretty good you’re beyond help.

Apparently, Melania’s real message for the holidays is a mixture of the sacred and the profane: Merry Christmas, you f*cking peasants; now give me some of your damn money.

Capitol Insurrection January 6 Media in America WTF?!

Fox News Is Now Referring To The Jan. 6 Insurrection As An ‘Election Justice Protest’

If you’ve read George Orwell’s novel, 1984, then you know one of the most important ways the totalitarian government of Big Brother keeps control over the people is with the use of language, especially as that language relates to the news and information people are shown.

Orwell called the manipulation of language for the purpose of tyranny “Newspeak,” and he explained in an appendix to the novel:

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

Open Culture elaborates on that idea:

Newspeak isn’t just a set of buzzwords, but the deliberate replacement of one set of words in the language for another.

There are examples of newspeak throughout the novel, most notably in the phrase, “War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.”

Such a twisting of the language is essential for creating a “reality” that is pleasing to the overlords who control everything that’s seen and heard in Orwell’s new world.

Newspeak is taking place in the United States right now, most notably at Fox News, where the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection is being rebranded by Fox host Tucker Carlson as an “election justice protest,” Media Matters reports, and Carlson added:

“So again, that’s the sitting vice president who they tell us over and over, and you just heard her say it, received more votes than any vice president in history. And if you don’t believe that ― and there are reasons not to believe that ― if you don’t believe that, you’re like [Sept. 11 hijacker] Mohamed Atta. Your beliefs are acts of terror, you’re comparable to a mass murderer and you need to be pursued by law enforcement.”

Rioting and insurrection are now being fed to the Fox masses as an “election justice protest.” The truth is too real, so it must be bent to serve another narrative, one that papers over the murder committed on Jan. 6 and turns it into a protest for justice.

Newspeak is not just a matter of fiction. It’s among us, and it’s a very real threat to this republic.

Donald Trump QAnon Social Media WTF?!

Desperate Trump Wraps His Arms Around The QAnon Cult With ‘Storm Is Coming’ Meme

In the surest sign of desperation yet from disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, the ex-president is now firmly embracing the QAnon cult and its deranged conspiracy theorists, posting a meme on his Truth Social website in which he’s show with the “Q” symbol on his lapel and a message: “The Storm Is Coming.”

Mediaite reports this is the most blatant acceptance of the QAnon lie that world governments are controlled by Satan-worshiping pedophiles who eat the adrenal glands of children in order to stay young and powerful, tropes that have their roots in the anti-Semitism and Nazi propaganda used by Adolf Hitler during his rise to power in Germany.

The two phrases in the explicitly Q-endorsing retruth are common in Q world. WWG1WGA stands for “Where we go one, we go all.” The “storm” is a reference to the Q conspiracy theorist community’s belief that sooner or later Trump is going to unveil or unleash his secret plan to defeat all the enemies of MAGA and the deep state and, presumably, return to power in a sweaty Mike Lindell dream come to life.

While he was at it, Trump also shared memes that hint at an outright call for some sort of protest or violent action by those who support him.

Of course, if Trump or his supporters understood the first thing about American history, they’d know that Paine and Jefferson would be disgusted by their attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and install the Donald as emperor for life. It’s also safe to assume that none of the Trumpers have read or understood a word found in the U.S. Constitution.

Right-wing message boards were alight with support for the memes that Trump had shared on Truth Social, with many Trump worshipers foaming at the mouth as their savior hinted at violence if he doesn’t get to walk free yet again.

“Yup, haters! Trump re-truthed Q memes. And he’ll do it again, more and more of them, over and OVER, until *everyone* finally gets it,” said one excited fan.

“It’s almost like Trump is trying to tell us something,” said another, sharing an image featuring the latest retruth alongside headlines describing Trump’s previous retruth spree.

Yeah, let’s do it: Let’s lock up the Trump mafia family, and if their QAnon acolytes want to launch an insurrection, they can face the full wrath of the U.S. Justice Department.
