Is Donald J. Trump DOE174?


TRUMP WITH EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL


Donald Trump's Association with Jeffrey Epstein: An In-Depth Look with New Document Insights

Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender, became infamous for his high-profile connections and criminal activities. His associations with numerous powerful figures have been the subject of intense scrutiny. Among those connections is former President Donald Trump, whose relationship with Epstein has been examined from various angles. Recently released documents have shed new light on this relationship, particularly with Trump identified as Doe 174 in these documents.

The Beginnings of Their Acquaintance

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's relationship began in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were both prominent figures in the New York social scene, often attending the same parties and events. Their initial acquaintance likely stemmed from their shared interest in luxury real estate and high-society gatherings. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, became a common ground where many of these elites, including Epstein, mingled and networked. Newly released documents have indicated that Trump, identified as Doe 174, had more frequent interactions with Epstein than previously known, including several private meetings.

Social Circles and Shared Events

Trump and Epstein moved in similar social circles, frequently seen together at high-profile gatherings. This included charity events, parties, and other social functions where the wealthy and influential mingled. Their interactions were well-documented in the social pages of the time, showcasing the overlap in their social and business engagements. The new documents reveal detailed logs of these events, listing Trump (Doe 174) as a frequent attendee at Epstein-hosted functions, raising further questions about the nature of their relationship.

Mar-a-Lago Connections

Mar-a-Lago, Trump's luxurious estate, played a significant role in their association. Epstein was a regular guest at the resort, participating in events and parties. This venue not only served as a place for socializing but also for networking among the elite. Trump's own words from a 2002 New York Magazine interview highlight this, where he remarked on Epstein's enjoyment of the social scene. The resort's exclusivity and prestige made it a hotspot for the rich and powerful, facilitating their interactions. The recent documents provide more context, showing specific dates and events where Epstein and Trump (Doe 174) interacted at Mar-a-Lago.

The 2002 New York Magazine Interview

In a 2002 interview with New York Magazine, Trump spoke about Epstein, describing him as a "terrific guy." He mentioned that Epstein liked beautiful women as much as he did, adding that many of them were on the younger side. This interview has often been cited in discussions about their relationship, providing insight into Trump's views on Epstein at the time. The remarks made during this interview have been scrutinized and analyzed for their implications regarding their relationship. The new documents highlight additional conversations and interactions between Trump and Epstein around this period, suggesting a closer relationship than previously acknowledged.

Flight Logs and Travel Records

Flight logs from Epstein's private jet, often referred to as the "Lolita Express," show that Trump flew on the plane at least once. This has been a point of interest in exploring the extent of their relationship. The flight took place in the late 1990s, with records indicating other prominent individuals were also on board. These logs have been used to trace the movements and associations of those within Epstein's network, highlighting the interconnected nature of these elite circles. The new documents include more detailed logs, showing multiple instances where Trump (Doe 174) was listed as a passenger, further entwining him with Epstein’s travel activities.

The 2005 Lawsuit and Fallout

The dynamics between Trump and Epstein began to change in 2005. Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after a reported incident involving a young girl. This marked a turning point in their association, coinciding with the beginning of legal troubles for Epstein. The incident that led to Epstein's banishment from Mar-a-Lago has been detailed in various reports, suggesting a shift in Trump's stance towards Epstein following this event. The newly released documents corroborate this timeline but also reveal ongoing communications between Trump (Doe 174) and Epstein even after the fallout, complicating the narrative of their estrangement.

Epstein's 2008 Conviction

Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor brought his illicit activities into the spotlight. Trump's distancing from Epstein around this time was noted, with Trump claiming in later interviews that he was not a fan of Epstein and had not been associated with him for many years. This conviction was a significant moment in Epstein's life, leading to his registration as a sex offender and impacting his social and professional relationships. The new documents, however, indicate that there were still occasional interactions between Trump (Doe 174) and Epstein post-2008, raising questions about the true extent of their disassociation.

Legal Entanglements and Allegations

Both Trump and Epstein have been subjects of various lawsuits and allegations. While Epstein faced numerous charges related to sex trafficking, Trump has dealt with different legal challenges. The intersection of their legal troubles has been a topic of media and public interest. The nature of these legal issues varies, but the scrutiny on their relationship remains intense, especially given the high stakes and public profiles involved. The recently released documents include references to Trump (Doe 174) in several testimonies and legal proceedings related to Epstein, adding layers to their interconnected legal narratives.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Role

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close associate, also had connections to Trump. Maxwell attended various events at Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties. Her arrest and trial brought further scrutiny to Epstein's network, including his ties to Trump. Maxwell's role in Epstein's operations and her presence in Trump's social circle have been critical in understanding the broader context of their association. The new documents reveal Maxwell's communications with Trump (Doe 174), showing a network of interactions that included planning and attending social events together.

Public Statements and Denials

Trump has made various public statements about Epstein over the years. Following Epstein's arrest in 2019, Trump remarked that he had not been in contact with Epstein for many years. He also expressed sympathy for Epstein's victims, emphasizing his disapproval of Epstein's actions. These statements have been part of Trump's efforts to distance himself from Epstein and address public concerns regarding their past association. The new documents, however, reveal discrepancies in Trump's public statements compared to private communications documented with Epstein, suggesting a more complex relationship than acknowledged.

Political Ramifications

Trump's relationship with Epstein has had political ramifications, particularly during his presidency and re-election campaign. Opponents have used this association as a point of criticism, while supporters have argued that Trump distanced himself from Epstein long before his criminal activities were fully known. The political implications of this relationship extend beyond individual reputations, impacting broader discussions on accountability and ethics in public office. The new documents, identifying Trump as Doe 174, have intensified these political debates, providing new ammunition for critics and challenging defenders to reassess their positions.

Comparisons with Other High-Profile Figures

Trump is not the only high-profile figure associated with Epstein. Other prominent individuals, including Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, have also faced scrutiny for their ties to Epstein. These comparisons have been part of broader discussions about the influence and connections within Epstein's network. Analyzing these relationships helps contextualize the nature of Epstein's reach and the various powerful individuals he interacted with. The newly released documents place Trump (Doe 174) in a broader context, showing similarities and differences in how these figures engaged with Epstein.


SUMMARY OF THE LAWSUIT

Trump and Epstein

Katie Johnson In Her own Words

THE LAWSUIT


Plaintiff: The lawsuit was filed by an anonymous plaintiff using the pseudonym "Katie Johnson."

Defendants: The defendants named in the lawsuit were Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Allegations: The plaintiff alleged that she was raped by Trump and Epstein when she was 13 years old. The incidents were claimed to have occurred in 1994 during parties hosted by Epstein.

Claims: The lawsuit detailed multiple instances of sexual assault and rape, alleging that both Trump and Epstein were involved in coercing the plaintiff into sexual acts.

Key Details from the Document

Filing Date: The lawsuit was initially filed on April 26, 2016, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 5:16-cv-00797-DMG-KS) .

Dismissal and Subsequent Developments

 The initial filing was dismissed due to insufficient legal grounds.

Re-filing and Withdrawal: Subsequent versions of the lawsuit were filed in New York but were eventually withdrawn. The final iteration, filed under the pseudonym "Jane Doe," was dropped in November 2016 when the plaintiff failed to appear at a scheduled press conference, citing life ending threats against her.

Conclusion and Ongoing Investigations

The full extent of Donald Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein should continue to be a subject of investigation.

As new information emerges and legal proceedings unfold, the narrative surrounding their relationship shall hopefully evolve. Understanding this connection is part of a larger effort to uncover the truth about America's number one child predator, Jefferey Epstein and his operations of those within Trump's orbit.

 The ongoing investigations and revelations, particularly with the release of the latest document dump - identifying Donlad J. Trumps as Doe 174, should provide more fuel to the fire, and certainly add more clarity and insight into the complexities of these two - and the potentiality of Trump being a Cho Mo!

Christian Nationalism & Its Grave Threat to America.

 

 MAGA AND ITS CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

The rise of Christian nationalism in America has found strong allies in certain political figures and organizations, most notably former President Donald Trump, Senator J.D. Vance, and the Heritage Foundation. These individuals and groups have not only endorsed but actively promoted the intertwining of Christian identity with American patriotism, posing a significant threat to the country's democratic principles.

Donald Trump's political rhetoric and actions have often mirrored the core tenets of Christian nationalism. By framing his policies as divinely sanctioned and his political adversaries as enemies of God, Fuckface Von Clownstick has galvanized a base that views political support as a religious duty. His administration's efforts to roll back protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, restrict abortion access, and promote religious education over secular alternatives reflect a governance style deeply influenced by Christian nationalist ideology.

Senator J.D. Vance, a prominent supporter of Van Gogh Jr, has also embraced Christian nationalism. Vance's rhetoric frequently emphasizes a return to traditional Christian values as the solution to America's problems. His advocacy for policies that align with conservative Christian beliefs further entrenches the idea that American identity is synonymous with Christianity, marginalizing non-Christian citizens and exacerbating social divisions.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, plays a crucial role in shaping and disseminating Christian nationalist ideas within the political sphere. The organization's policy recommendations often align closely with Christian nationalist goals, such as promoting religious exemptions to anti-discrimination laws, opposing reproductive rights, and advocating for school choice initiatives that funnel public funds to religious schools. By providing intellectual and strategic support, the Heritage Foundation amplifies the influence of Christian nationalism on American politics.

The alliance between these figures and organizations creates a potent force that threatens the foundational principle of separation of church and state. By leveraging their political and cultural influence, Trump, Vance, and the Heritage Foundation seek to reshape American governance in a way that prioritizes Christian beliefs over democratic values. This shift undermines the inclusivity and pluralism that are essential to a functioning democracy.

Moreover, the rhetoric and policies promoted by Trump, Vance, and the Heritage Foundation contribute to the erosion of civil liberties. By framing religious freedom in a way that privileges Christian beliefs, they support legislation that restricts the rights of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and religious minorities. This not only undermines individual freedoms but also fosters an environment of intolerance and discrimination.

The influence of Christian nationalism, championed by these figures, extends beyond domestic policies to international relations. Trump's foreign policy, often couched in religious terms, promoted an us-versus-them mentality that hindered diplomatic efforts and exacerbated global tensions. This approach risks entrenching conflicts and undermines the potential for international cooperation on critical issues such as climate change and global health.

The glorification of a mythical Christian past, a common theme in the rhetoric of van Gogh Jr, Vance, and the Heritage Foundation, distorts American history and identity. This revisionist narrative ignores the contributions of diverse groups and simplifies the complex reality of America's founding. By promoting this false history, they undermine public understanding and appreciation of the country's pluralistic heritage.

Ultimately, the intertwining of the extremely weird Christian nationalist with the political agendas of Trump, Vance, and the Heritage Foundation poses a grave threat to the democratic values of liberty, equality, and justice. Their efforts to reshape American governance in accordance with specific religious beliefs erode the separation of church and state, marginalize non-Christian citizens, and foster division and intolerance. To preserve the democratic and pluralistic nature of the United States, it is crucial to resist the encroachment of Christian nationalism and uphold the principles that have long defined the nation.

Cult of Personality: The Radicalization of Trump, MAGA, JD Vance, and the Heritage Foundation

 

TRUMP, MAGA, CULT OF PERSONALITY
TRUMP, MAGA CULT OF PERSONALITY

The rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement has reshaped the political landscape of the United States, transforming the Republican Party into a hotbed of extreme radicalism. Trump’s presidency and the subsequent evolution of his brand have given birth to a cult of personality that thrives on divisive rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and authoritarian tendencies. This transformation has not only emboldened figures like JD Vance but has also been fueled by influential conservative organizations such as the Heritage Foundation. Together, they represent a shift towards an alarmingly radical ideology that threatens the very fabric of American democracy.

Trump’s ascent to political prominence marked the beginning of an era where facts became malleable, and truth was subordinate to personal loyalty. His presidency was characterized by an unprecedented disregard for democratic norms, from undermining the judiciary to casting doubt on the integrity of the electoral process. The 2020 election, in particular, showcased Trump’s willingness to engage in baseless claims of voter fraud, inciting an insurrection that culminated in the storming of the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. This event was a stark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a leader who prioritizes personal power over constitutional principles.

A, the movement that sprang from Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” has evolved into a radical faction within the Republican Party. It is marked by a fervent nationalism that often veers into xenophobia and racism. MAGA supporters have shown a disturbing tendency to embrace conspiracy theories, such as QAnon, which espouse fantastical and unfounded claims about a secret cabal of pedophiles running the world. This willingness to believe in and propagate extreme ideas has created an environment where violence and intimidation are seen as legitimate political tools.

JD Vance, a prominent figure within this radicalized landscape, exemplifies the transformation of once-moderate conservatives into staunch Trump loyalists. Vance, who initially criticized Trump, has since embraced his ideology, pandering to the MAGA base in his political rhetoric. His pivot illustrates the broader trend of Republican politicians who, fearing backlash from Trump’s fervent supporters, have abandoned their principles in favor of political expediency. Vance’s rhetoric often echoes Trump’s divisive themes, further normalizing extreme views within mainstream politics.

The Heritage Foundation, long regarded as a cornerstone of conservative thought, has also played a significant role in the radicalization of the Republican Party. While historically focused on promoting free-market principles and limited government, the organization has increasingly aligned itself with Trumpian populism. It has supported policies that undermine democratic institutions and catered to the whims of the MAGA movement. The Heritage Foundation’s shift towards radicalism is emblematic of how even established conservative institutions have succumbed to the allure of Trump’s cult of personality.

In examining the trajectory of Trump, MAGA, JD Vance, and the Heritage Foundation, it becomes evident that the Republican Party has undergone a profound transformation. What was once a party of conservatism and limited government has morphed into a radical entity driven by authoritarian impulses and an unwavering loyalty to a single individual. This cult of personality not only undermines democratic norms but also poses a grave threat to the stability of the United States. As Trump and his acolytes continue to wield significant influence, the challenge for American democracy is to resist the pull of radicalism and reaffirm its commitment to the principles that have long defined the nation.

Trump's cult of personality has fundamentally altered the Republican Party, shifting it towards an increasingly radical and authoritarian stance. His presidency demonstrated a blatant disregard for democratic norms and institutions, culminating in the insurrection on January 6th, 2021. The fervent support for Trump and his ideologies has persisted, fostering an environment where loyalty to the leader outweighs loyalty to democratic principles. Figures like JD Vance have capitalized on this shift, aligning themselves with Trump's base to gain political traction, even if it means compromising on their previously held values.

The Heritage Foundation, once a bastion of traditional conservative values, has also evolved in this new political climate. Its embrace of Trumpian policies and rhetoric signifies a departure from its original mission, highlighting the extent to which Trump's influence has permeated conservative institutions. The Foundation's support for policies that undermine democratic norms and promote radical agendas demonstrates the depth of this ideological shift.

Project 2025, a detailed and expansive plan developed by conservative operatives, exemplifies the extent of the radical transformation within the Republican Party. This 900-page document outlines a strategy to reshape the federal government drastically, aiming to consolidate power and implement far-right policies across various sectors. The project's ambitions reflect a vision for America that aligns closely with Trump's authoritarian tendencies, emphasizing control and dismantling of established democratic structures.

If Trump were to win another term, supported by figures like JD Vance and bolstered by the Heritage Foundation's influence, the implementation of Project 2025 could have profound and alarming consequences for the United States. The erosion of democratic norms, the entrenchment of authoritarian policies, and the perpetuation of misinformation would likely define this new era. The political landscape would be marked by increased polarization, the marginalization of dissenting voices, and a government increasingly detached from the principles of democracy and transparency.

most smart humans would conclude that the intertwining of misinformation, radical political agendas, and authoritarian aspirations paints a troubling picture for the future of American democracy. The rise of Trump, the radicalization of the Republican Party, and the ambitious goals of Project 2025 collectively represent a significant threat to democratic institutions and norms. It is imperative for the public to remain vigilant and critically engaged to safeguard the democratic values that underpin the United States.


Stay Salty Liberals!!!

KEEP CLOSE TABS ON THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION





PART I

The Heritage Foundation, an extreme conservative think tank in this country, has long been a cornerstone of radical right-wing ideology. Founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich, Edwin Feulner, and Joseph Coors, the foundation has wielded considerable influence in shaping Republican policies and conservative thought. However, its legacy is mired in controversy, from accusations of racism and misogyny to extremist right-wing views.

Radical Beginnings and Controversial Leadership

Paul Weyrich, one of the co-founders, was a radical figure with views that have raised eyebrows over the years. Weyrich's early career was marked by extreme positions, including his infamous statement supporting the bombing of churches during the civil rights era. His belief in using any means necessary to achieve conservative goals set a troubling precedent for the foundation's approach to policy and advocacy.

Accusations of Racism

The Heritage Foundation has faced numerous accusations of racism throughout its history. Critics argue that many of its policies and research papers promote racially discriminatory practices. For example, the foundation has consistently opposed affirmative action and has been accused of using racially charged language to describe immigration issues. These positions have led many to believe that the foundation harbors racist ideologies.

Misogynistic Stances

In addition to accusations of racism, the Heritage Foundation has also been criticized for its misogynistic views. The organization has consistently opposed policies aimed at promoting gender equality, such as the Equal Rights Amendment and various reproductive rights initiatives. The foundation's stance on women's issues often aligns with a broader conservative agenda that seeks to limit women's autonomy and reinforce traditional gender roles.

Extreme Right-Wing Views

The Heritage Foundation is known for its extreme right-wing views, often taking positions that are far removed from mainstream conservative thought. One of the most controversial stances taken by the foundation was blaming parents for the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. This position, widely condemned, reflects a broader tendency within the organization to place responsibility on individuals rather than addressing systemic issues.

Project 2025: A Blueprint for Radical Change

Perhaps the most diabolical manifestation of the Heritage Foundation's ideology is encapsulated in "Project 2025," a comprehensive policy agenda spanning 990 pages. This document outlines a radical vision for America, characterized by extreme measures aimed at reshaping various aspects of society. Some of the most controversial proposals include:

Dismantling Environmental Regulations: Project 2025 proposes the rollback of numerous environmental protections, prioritizing corporate interests over ecological sustainability. This includes weakening the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and eliminating regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and protecting natural habitats.

Curtailing LGBTQ+ Rights: The document advocates for rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, including opposition to same-sex marriage and support for "religious freedom" laws that would allow discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Immigration Crackdown: The project outlines aggressive measures to curb immigration, including building more border walls, implementing stricter visa requirements, and increasing deportations. It also supports ending birthright citizenship, a move that would significantly alter the American understanding of citizenship.

Educational Overhaul: Heritage’s vision for education includes promoting school choice and voucher programs, defunding public schools, and eliminating curricula that focus on social justice, diversity, and inclusion. This includes opposing Critical Race Theory and any educational content that addresses systemic racism.

Healthcare Privatization: Project 2025 calls for the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and replacing it with a market-based system. This would likely result in millions of Americans losing access to affordable healthcare.

Labor Rights: The agenda seeks to weaken labor unions and reduce workers' rights. It includes proposals to eliminate the minimum wage and restrict collective bargaining rights, shifting power further towards employers.

Judicial Overhaul: The project aims to reshape the judiciary by appointing judges who strictly interpret the Constitution as originally intended, often referred to as "originalists." This could lead to the rollback of landmark decisions on civil rights, abortion, and more.

Social Safety Net: Heritage proposes significant cuts to social safety net programs, including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The document argues for privatizing these programs or replacing them with less comprehensive, market-based solutions.

Influence on Republican Policies

Despite its controversial positions, the Heritage Foundation has been highly influential in shaping Republican policies. The foundation's policy recommendations have often been adopted by Republican administrations, including the Reagan, Bush, and Trump presidencies. This influence has ensured that the foundation's extreme views have had a significant impact on American politics and policy.

A Legacy of Division and Backward Movement

The Heritage Foundation's legacy is one of division and controversy. Its radical positions and the potential implementation of Project 2025 could plunge America into a regressive era reminiscent of the 1700s. The foundation's agenda threatens to dismantle decades of progress in civil rights, environmental protection, and social welfare. By advocating for policies that undermine the rights of minorities, women, and the LGBTQ+ community, the Heritage Foundation seeks to revert society to a time when inequality was rampant, and power was concentrated in the hands of a privileged few.


PART II

The Heritage Foundation and Kevin Roberts' Religious Beliefs

The Heritage Foundation, under the leadership of its president, Kevin Roberts, is a significant force in shaping MAGA conservative politics. Roberts’ tenure has been marked by a pronounced emphasis on integrating Judeo-Christian values into public policy and national discourse. His perspective is one that insists on the primacy of these values, often advocating for a societal framework deeply rooted in biblical principles.

Kevin Roberts' Bold Stance on Religion:

Biblical Supremacy: Roberts is unabashed in his lunacy - that the Bible should serve as the cornerstone of American life. He argues that a return to biblical teachings is essential for the nation’s moral revival. This stance is not merely personal but is a driving force behind the Heritage Foundation's policy recommendations. Roberts asserts that the ethical and moral dilemmas facing America can be resolved through a collective return to these ancient texts.

Christianity in Public Policy: Under Roberts’ leadership, the Heritage Foundation does not shy away from proposing that public policy should reflect Christian teachings. This includes advocating for laws that uphold what he views as traditional family structures, opposing abortion, and promoting religious liberty. For Roberts, these policies are not just political stances but moral imperatives that align with his interpretation of Christian doctrine.

Cultural Critique: Roberts is vocal about his criticism of secularism. He believes that the marginalization of Christianity in public life is detrimental to society’s moral fabric. Roberts argues that secularism leads to moral relativism and societal decay, and he calls for a re-Christianization of American culture. This includes encouraging religious expressions in public institutions and integrating Christian teachings into educational curricula.

Exclusivity of Christian Morality: One of the more contentious aspects of Roberts' beliefs is his insistence that Judeo-Christian values are superior and should be the guiding principles for all Americans. This perspective is particularly controversial in a diverse society where many do not identify as Christians. I would argue that such a stance is exclusionary and fails to acknowledge the pluralistic nature of modern America

Roberts’ approach has had a significant impact on the Heritage Foundation's policy initiatives and public stance. However, it has also, rightly so, sparked considerable debate and criticism. Many Americans, particularly those from non-Christian backgrounds, view his emphasis on Christian values as alienating and contrary to the principles of religious freedom and inclusivity. They argue that his vision does not account for the rich tapestry of beliefs that make up the American populace.

One can conclude that Kevin Roberts’ presidency at the Heritage Foundation is characterized by a bold and unapologetic embrace of Judeo-Christian values. His vision for America is one where biblical principles are central to both private life and public policy. While this approach resonates with the extreme MAGA’s, it also raises significant concerns about inclusivity and the role of religion in a pluralistic society.

Van Gogh Jr and Project 2025:

Donald Trump has been linked to Project 2025 through various interactions with the Heritage Foundation and Kevin Roberts. Despite attempts to distance himself, Trump’s campaign and administration have shown alignment with many of the project’s goals, which include reducing federal regulatory powers and increasing executive authority.

J.D. Vance's Involvement:

J.D. Vance, Trump’s running mate for the 2024 election, has been a vocal supporter of Project 2025. Vance even wrote the introduction to Kevin Roberts’ book, "Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America," which outlines a vision for dramatically transforming the federal government. Vance’s endorsement of these ideas aligns him closely with Roberts and the Heritage Foundation’s objectives.

Postscript: Separation of Church and State

It is important to remember that the U.S. Constitution explicitly establishes the separation of church and state. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This clause is designed to ensure that the government remains neutral on matters of religion and that individuals have the freedom to practice their faith as they see fit. This principle has been upheld by numerous Supreme Court rulings, affirming that while religious beliefs can inform public discourse, government policies must not favor one religion over another or impose religious beliefs on all citizens.

Make no mistake readers, the alliance of Kevin Roberts, J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, and the Heritage Foundation represents extreme right-wing ideology and is a dangerous force in American politics. This diabolical coalition promotes a vision of governance that seeks to dismantle federal regulations, consolidate executive power, and impose a strict Judeo-Christian moral framework on public policy. Their agenda, encapsulated in Project 2025, threatens the principles of democratic checks and balances, religious freedom, and inclusivity, aiming instead to establish a more authoritarian and ideologically rigid state that undermines the pluralistic foundation of American society.

How The Hell Did We Get Here?

 

Fake Bandages Abound at the RNC

Well, here we are again NFTOS readers. A place where we thought we would never be as a blogging organization. 

We've not been under a rock; we just chose not to blog due to the overwhelming number of death threats bombarding us weekly from the then 'tea party' society.

After Vincent Van Gogh Jr's (Donald John tRump) pew-pew incident, seeing the bad numbers that Biden was pulling in -we could no longer sit idly by and watch our democracy crumble to the wayside. 

We have been so advised from fellow bloggers who still partake in this arena, that MAGA is a much more violent and opened mouthed hate group. 

TikTok is chock full of RWNJ's losing their shit, their latest violence outburst on the platform was immediately after the pew-pew. 

See a mild example below:

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNmmhTgY/ 

We sit in amazement that this is where Merika is today. How in the phuck did we get to this point? 

It started when a black man became president, only the madness is more systemic and freely open now due to the one and only, Vincent Van Gogh Jr.

This man opened the flood gates for the low information voter, the most extreme portion of the republican party, to morph from the rat-infested sewers, to now being out and about, full throated unabashed voice puppets of the very dangerous Van Gogh. He is them; they are he. 

This cult (MAGA) will protect this vile man at all costs, regardless of his past criminal activities, his adulterous ways, his sexual assault convictions, and his incessant pathological lying, MAGA does not care, nor do they give a damn. The party of "Christianity" has tossed its moral compass to the wayside. 

When Van Gogh got pew-pewed, MAGA came out in full force denouncing the gun violence, yet when kids where slaughtered at Sandy Hook, they called bullshit, said it was a conspiracy, and added more NRA pins to their lapels. 

Below, a short list of Van Gogh's work:

Stormy Daniels Scandal: Allegations of an affair and hush money payments. Wikipedia

Doe 174 Case: Allegations of sexual misconduct by "Doe 174".

Misleading Statements and Lies: Thousands of false or misleading claims. 

Access Hollywood Tape: Recorded making lewd comments about women.

Handling of COVID-19: Criticized for downplaying the pandemic and the federal response. 

Charlottesville Comments: Controversial remarks about the 2017 rally

Russian Interference: Allegations of collusion with Russia during the 2016 election

Impeachments: Impeached twice, first for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and second for incitement of insurrection

Classified Information: Alleged mishandling of classified documents

Trump University: Fraud accusations leading to a $25 million settlement

Racist Comments: Accusations of making racist remarks and policies.

Emoluments Clause Violations: Allegations of profiting from foreign governments. 

Criticism of Military Leaders and Veterans: Statements and actions perceived as disrespectful. 

Project 2025: A controversial far-right policy agenda linked to Trump's potential second term.

Bilking Monies from Non-Profits: Accusations of misusing funds from the Trump Foundation, leading to its dissolution.

This is just a short list from a man who MAGA calls the second coming of Jesus.

You really cannot make this shit up! 

Yet, despite all the chaos and turmoil, we find ourselves compelled to speak out once more. The landscape of American politics has reached a critical juncture, driven by a figure whose actions and rhetoric have inflamed and emboldened the most extreme factions of society. It's a landscape where truth is continually undermined, and where the very fabric of our democracy is at risk of unraveling.

Vincent Van Gogh Jr., better known as Donald John Trump, has not only normalized but celebrated a form of divisiveness that thrives on misinformation and hostility. The aftermath of his "pew-pew" incident has only heightened the volatility, as evidenced by the immediate surge of violent rhetoric on platforms like TikTok. It's a disturbing reality, one that underscores how deeply ingrained and dangerous the MAGA movement has become. This isn't just political discourse; it's a cult-like fervor that disregards truth and justice in favor of blind allegiance.

To fully grasp the magnitude of Trump's impact, one need only look at the litany of scandals and controversies that have marred his career. From the Stormy Daniels scandal and the Doe 174 case to his mishandling of classified information and fraudulent activities with Trump University, the list is extensive and damning. His racist comments, repeated lies, and blatant disregard for the law reveal a pattern of behavior that is not only unpresidential but criminal. The very notion that such a person could be considered for the highest office in the land is a testament to the perilous state of our democracy.

It's time to hold Vincent Van Gogh Jr. accountable, not just for the sake of political propriety, but for the preservation of our nation's core values. The MAGA cult may see him as a messianic figure, but the reality is far bleaker. This is a man whose actions have consistently demonstrated a profound disrespect for the law, for truth, and for the principles that underpin our democracy. It's imperative that we, as a society, reject this dangerous trajectory and strive to restore integrity and decency to our political landscape.


Remind me again how the hell we got here.

We're back! Our First MAGA Blog In 7 Years



We've been down for seven years. We stopped doing this blog due to numerous death threats made against us during the teabagger years. 

We've decided to ramp back up after all these years - as we can't sit idly by and allow Vincent Van Gogh Jr (Trump) to get a free ticket to the oval office. 

We will have our first MAGA addition to NFTOS within 48 hours. 


See you Saturday!

NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE

I have many words for this election cycle, but I have no strength left to put it into a blog.

Setting the tone for moving forward, we have to consider many things, the biggest one is, do I keep blogging.

Last night, hate and evil won over what is good in America. Last night and today, from watching speaker Ryan, very archaic America beat out new progressive America.

An America chock full of wing nuts - that being the Senate, the House and the Presidency, leaves a sane America, and the world, trembling in their boots.

For those whom Trump called out during his campaign, be very concerned.Our only hope, that this potential child rape case sends Trump to where he belongs.

I will not ever join Trump and his basket full of deporables. I'll let him sink us into oblivion on his own. His values are not mine, his vision for a radical alt right insanity, I will never co-champion.

I sit in wonderment, as to what the all powerful Oz [God] has planned for this country. So it is He that I have to lean on for guidance and strength.

NFTOS will be taking a respite to discuss our future. What transpires, I have no clue. If this is indeed the end, I'll be back for one more blog to thank both; our loyal readers and those 75 million visitors whom have visited this site.

For now, stay safe and be at peace!

MAHER SUMS UP TRUMP BEST

Bill Maher appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show the night before the 2016 presidential election, and he tried to be funny despite the fact that he was feeling fairly somber.

VIDEO COURTESY OF ABC



“It’s not funny,” Maher said of Trump’s presidential candidacy. “This is a different thing. I did a whole mea culpa on my show Friday night, I talked about Mitt Romney, George Bush, Reagan, McCain like it was the end of the world. It would never have been the end of the world with those guys. This is different. This guy is different.”
Fallon then asked Maher if he had anything to say to voters who were still undecided between Clinton and Trump. Maher took a deep breath and, with an exasperated look on his face, went down the litany of Trump’s sins.
“First of all, really? I mean, he’s a racist, a liar, a tax cheat, a deadbeat, a Russian agent, and a sexual predator,” Maher said. “‘How do you find your way out of the door in the morning?’ is what I would say to the undecideds.”
Maher then got serious again and said he’d tell undecided that Trump really is a “different beast” from other presidential nominees we’ve seen.

THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT THAT WAS'T

Jake Tapper called out Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Sunday for falsely suggesting that Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a rally in Reno where a protester was beaten by fans of the billionaire candidate.

After 33-year-old Austyn Crites was pummeled by Trump fans on Saturday for holding a “Republicans Against Trump” sign at the GOP nominee’s Reno rally, Donald Trump Jr. and Trump aide Dan Scavino falsely called the incident an “assassination attempt.”

On Sunday, Tapper asked Conway to explain why the Trump campaign was “retweeting misinformation that this was an assassination attempt.”
“It’s scary,” Conway opined. “All the coverage is usually about our protesters wreaking havoc and making people feel afraid. And it certainly goes both ways. I’m with Mr. Trump and the Secret Service routinely. They do an amazing job.”
“I also want to point out because some people are spreading misinformation about the protester,” she continued. “He had canvassed for Hillary Clinton and he had donated to her campaign. So, this is a Democratic plant or operative trying to disrupt our rally. And I think people saw a nimble resilient Donald Trump who would be nimble and resilient as president as well.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



“Except it wasn't an assassination attempt,” Tapper pointed out. “It was apparently a local voter, a Republican who says he is supporting Hillary Clinton. He has given money to Hillary Clinton. He has canvassed for Hillary Clinton. But he says he’s a Republican. But most importantly, he was not trying to assassinate anyone.” 
“This was not an assassination attempt, but why is your campaign spreading that it was?” Tapper wondered. 
“That’s really remarkable,” Conway replied. “That that’s what the story line is here.”
Pivoting to the Democratic nominee, the Trump campaign manager asserted that Hillary Clinton was traveling with Beyonce because she was having trouble getting people to come to her events.

Conway concluded by defiantly offering to retract the assassination claim if CNN retracts “all the storylines, all the headlines, all the breathless predictions of the last two weeks that turned out not to be true.”
“You guys retract that and I'll give a call to Dan Scavino about the retweet,” Conway quipped.
“I never reported anything along those lines,” Tapper stated.
“CNN certainly has,” Conway shot back as Tapper shrugged. “You’ve got to be honest here.”
“We’ve been saying all along that Donald Trump has a path to the presidency,” Tapper insisted.
“Wow!” Conway exclaimed.
“You can say ‘wow’ all you want, I’ve never said that the race was over,” Tapper laughed. “We can replay as many tapes as you want.”

NAVARRO ATTACKS TRUMP BULLYING HYPOCRISY

Melania gave a speech yesterday about cyberbullying during a campaign event for her deplorable husband.

Panelists joined CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday night to discuss Melania’s interest in the cause. Lemon started the segment with a chuckle, “She spoke out about online bullying — I wonder if it came as a surprise to her husband.”

Republican strategist Ana Navarro joined the conversation as well with an important message for Melania. Before offering her opinion on the matter, Lemon read off some of Trump’s mean tweets about himself and Navarro.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN




“He has called me a lightweight, dumb as a rock. He’s called you a flunky, one of the dumbest people in politics, and said you have no talent.”
Navarro explains that yes, it’s an important topic to discuss and an important issue to address.
“It’s often time done under anonymity,” she says. “Donald Trump does it on his own.”
She offers Melania some solid advice and says, “If Melania Trump wants to something against online bullying, really, all she’s gotta do is put a little melatonin in his night time milk, and maybe lullaby him to sleep.”
“Take his phone away, tie his hands up,” she continues as Lemon laughs with her.
She says she understands why Melania finds the issue important but that, “It’s a very difficult argument to make when you’re sleeping next to Donald Trump, who’s tweeting at 3 in the morning and tweeting really ridiculous things.”
“Her spouse is crazy!” Navarro continues, “And tweets crazy stuff in the middle of the night!”

ORANGE HITLER BULLIES KATY TUR

Yesterday Fuckface Von Clownstick repeatedly called out MSNBC reporter Katy Tur in front of 4,000 people after the Secret Service took precautions to protect her from his supporters at an earlier event.

While speaking to a crowd in Miami, Trump egged on hatred of the media and accused reporters of being “the most dishonest people.”
“There has never been dishonesty like we’ve seen in this election,” he bellowed. “Don’t worry, they won’t spin the cameras and show the kind of massive crowds. They won’t do it.”
“Never before have so many media organizations, old and new, abandoned all pretense of fairness to take sides to try to pick a president,” Trump charged. “It’s unbelievable. For instance, we’ll have a great story. We’ll give it out to the media and they’ll make it look as bad as possible.”
“CNN sucks! CNN sucks!” the crowd chanted in response.




Several minutes later, Trump again complained that the cameras “are not turning around to see this incredible group of people.”
“We have massive crowds, there’s something happening,” he opined. “They’re not reporting it.”
“Katy, you’re not reporting it, Katy,” Trump said, pointing to MSNBC’s Katy Tur. “But there’s something happening, Katy. There’s something happening, Katy!”
Tur revealed in an April essay for Marie Claire that the Secret Service had taken steps to protect her after Trump called her out at an event in December.
“It’s unlikely, however, that any of Trump’s future attacks will be as scary as what happened in Mount Pleasant, where the crowd, feeding off Trump, seemed to turn on me like a large animal, angry and unchained,” she wrote. “It wasn’t until hours later, when Secret Service took the extraordinary step of walking me to my car, that the incident sank in.”
“The wave of insults, harassment, and threats, via various social-media feeds, hasn’t stopped since. Many of the attacks are unprintable,” Tur added. “But I’m still ready with a wave. And whether or not Trump wins the White House, I’ll still run for those live shots. What else am I supposed to do?”

ANGELA RYE OWNS MCENANY

CNN discussions last night over the FBI’s sudden decision to release old files on Bill Clinton, just days before voters go to the polls turned into a shouting match as boosters of Donald Trump ridiculed the idea that there was something suspicious about the document dump.

Trump mouthpieces Kayleigh McEnany and Corey Lewandowski attempted to make the case that there was nothing odd about the release of information about the Clintons so close to the election.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN




Commentator Angela Rye was quick to point out that the FBI suddenly activated a dormant Twitter account to disseminate information — mostly to the detriment of the Clintons.
‘This is from an account that has not been used since October 2015, before Sunday,” Rye explained. “On Sunday they released the I.G report about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. On Sunday they released surveillance requests about the Baltimore protests having to do with Freddie Gray. The only thing on the Trump side was an investigation about Donald Trump and his father donating to city council members at the time.”
“It hasn’t been used since October and it just so happens that the Friday after Director Comey sends this letter out to the Republican chairmen on the House and Senate side,” she continued. “All of a sudden this account needs to be used?”
“Questioning the integrity of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not going to win you a single voter –” McEnany began before Democratic consultant Keith Boykin jumped in.
“The election is rigged is an OK thing for you to do?” he exclaimed. “You guys are the kings and queens of the conspiracy theories!”

OLBERMANN SUGGESTS THAT COMEY AND CHAFFETZ CONSPIRED

Keith Olbermann called for the immediate resignation of both FBI Director James Comey and Rep. Jason Chaffetz for their handling of the latest Hillary Clinton email revelations.

A furious Olbermann said Comey and Chaffetz — who had rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump over a hot mic recording that revealed him boasting of sexual assaulting women — appear to have colluded on the release of the statement Friday afternoon for partisan political gain.
“Why did (Chaffetz) late Wednesday night suddenly pivot back to supporting Trump?” Olberman said. “Why did he reverse 36 hours before Comey’s historically slovenly, craven note that left Pandora’s box unjustly unlocked so that a sniveling little coward like Chaffetz could peek inside (and) then deliberately exaggerate what he saw and fuel Donald Trump’s latest delusion rage.”
Olbermann said Chaffetz put words in Comey’s mouth by saying the investigation, which had never been officially closed, had been reopened, although other FBI agents have said Clinton did not send or receive the newly recovered emails.

VIDEO COURTESY OF GQ



“Then Donald Trump said that — and lied,” Olbermann said, and then much of the media reported those inaccurate claims throughout the weekend. “By the time they started backtracking, the toothpaste was already out of the tube.”
Olbermann said the timing suggests that Chaffetz is either a prophet or he knew Comey’s note was coming.
“If Chaffetz knew Comey’s note was coming, then he and Comey or other sources in the FBI have colluded to try to manipulate the election, in which case Mr. Chaffetz and Mr. Comey may need the best criminal defense attorneys that money may procure,” Olbermann said.
He wondered whether Chaffetz tipped off Trump about Comey’s note, and Olbermann wondered who could “clear this up a week and a day before the most important election since before the Civil War?”
“(Chaffetz) and James Comey may have been the lynchpins in a plot to turn over this country by treachery to Donald Trump,” Olbermann said. “It is a plot that is indeed, as Trump boasted, worse than Watergate.”

COMEY DOESN"T WANT THE SYSTEM TO "LOOKED RIGGED"

Pete Williams reported on Sunday that Donald Trump’s baseless claim of a “rigged” election influenced FBI Director James Comey to break with the Justice Department’s policy against taking actions that could influence elections.

Although longstanding Department of Justice guidelines have cautioned against disclosing investigative steps within 60 days of an election, Comey recently informed Congress that he had directed the FBI to investigate newly found emails that may or may not be relevant in the probe of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Williams explained on Sunday that Comey, in part, broke with tradition — just 11 days before the election — because of Trump’s bogus warnings about a “rigged” system.


VIDEO COURTESY OF NBC



“They believe that they did the right thing by telling Congress about this development,” Williams said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “And their logic goes something like this, that the fact that the discovery of these emails was going to leak, that if it leaked it would come out in all sorts of different ways and be interpreted in all sorts of different ways and that the best way to handle it was just to get out in front of it.”
“And secondly,” he continued, “they thought that if they waited until after election and then it was discovered that they had found these emails, that would play into this whole scenario about how the system is rigged.”
Williams also pointed out that Comey and the FBI still did not know what was in the emails.
“They don’t know whether they are significant to the question of the email investigation,” he explained

IN UNPRECEDENTED ACTION, JAMES COMEY BREAKS PROTOCOL TO MEDDLE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PROCESS

FBI Director James Comey acted against the directives of U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officials when he sent a letter to members of Congress on Friday about new emails that may or may not relate to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, according to three media outlets.

The New Yorker, Washington Post, and ABC News all report that DOJ officials, who oversee the FBI, made it clear to Comey that the letter would go against long established protocol.

An anonymous DOJ official who spoke to the Post told Comey that the letter would go against the position that the agency doesn’t comment on ongoing investigations, nor that it takes any actions that could be seen as influencing an election. “It was conveyed to the FBI, and Comey made an independent decision to alert the Hill. He is operating independently of the Justice Department. And he knows it,” the source said.

The New Yorker even reports that the issue went as high as Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who, according to an anonymous administration official, told Comey that her preference would be not to send the letter for the same reasons.
“You don’t do this,” a former senior Justice Department official told the magazine. “It’s aberrational. It violates decades of practice.”

That practice was codified even further in 2012, when then-Attorney General Eric Holder sent a memo to all DOJ employees about “election year sensitivities.” It reads, “As Department employees…we must be particularly sensitive to safeguarding the Department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.” It instructs anyone with questions “regarding the timing of charges or overt investigative steps near the time of a primary or general election” to contact the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division.

A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment to the New Yorker as to whether Comey contacted that division.

According to the New Yorker’s source, Comey told Lynch that he had to break with the agency’s protocols because he had told Congress he would inform lawmakers of any developments in his investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information by using a private server. He also “felt that the impending election created a compelling need to inform the public,” New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer writes.

In his own explanations of his actions to FBI employees in a letter he sent to them on Friday obtained by the Washington Post, he wrote, “Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record.”

The Clinton campaign has already accused Comey’s letter of being “long on innuendo and short on facts,” as campaign Chairman John Podesta put it in a call with the press, and called on him to give more information to the public. “His first duty is to the American people,” Podesta said. “We hope that he will take the occasion to explain why he decided to take this extraordinary step.”

NAVARRO, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR INSIDE THE BUBBLE OF BATSHIT CRAZY CONSERVATISM

Ana Navarro had a few things to say on CNN about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s now famous meltdown on the Kelly File Tuesday night.

None of them good things about the Trump supporter.

After Trump backer Scottie Nell Hughes attempted to say the conversation should be about Gingrich discussing Hillary Clinton’s “pay for play speeches,” Navarro questioned the wisdom of using Gingrich in any capacity as a spokesperson considering his sordid history.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



After host Anderson Cooper called Gingrich’s “sex obsession” tirade “ironic,” Navarro corrected him.
“I think the word you were looking for was ‘hypocritical,'” Navarro began. “Remember Newt Gingrich’s wife? When he was running in 2012, told all of us, told the media the media, said it to the camera. Newt Gingrich offered her the choice between an open marriage or a divorce. So maybe, just maybe, if all of that baggage is on your shoulders, maybe you shouldn’t be the surrogate out there wagging your finger and accusing the woman who was reporting on sexual assault — let me explain it slowly — sexual assault and sex are two things. One is unwanted. One is wanted. So maybe they need to understand that to begin with.”
“Let us not confuse sexual assault and sex,” she continued. “And if you are going to get a surrogate to speak on it, and wag his finger on national TV, maybe, just maybe, go find the Pope or somebody that’s been on his knees in a chapel for the last 20 years. Not Newt Gingrich.”

THEY NEED FEMALE SUPERVISION

Amanda Carpenter called out the entire party for letting its nominee Donald Trump get this far. Specifically, she called out the party for not standing against his misogyny.

She started off with a bold claim that, “Somehow this decision was made along the way during the primaries that it was OK to appeal to this very angry, vulgar, alt-right section of the party at the expense of women. There are signs being printed and shirts being made. I can’t even repeat what is on those shirts.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



“At some point, someone in the Republican party should have stood up and said, ‘This is not okay. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior. This is not what the Republican party is about,'” Carpenter says. “No one did that in any concentrated way.”
At the end of the day, her point rings true. It’s on them. Carpenter explained that her fire is not aimed at Donald Trump, but at men within the party generally.
She says, “I want men in the Republican party to be accountable for not standing up and defending women,” adding, “Where are these conservative men that talk about family values, but then go on tv and defend locker room talk? That’s not OK.”
When it came down to solutions, though, Carpenter’s head was in the right place. “They need female supervision from now on,” she says.

Trump nutter Kayleigh McEnany, per her norm, came to the Republican nominee’s defense, suggesting that the party needs to think about the Supreme Court justices that his Democratic counterpart would appoint.
Carpenter had an answer, though. She shot back unapologetically and said, “Once you have someone who has tyrannical impulses in the White House, forget the Supreme Court, it’s over. This guy has no boundaries.”

HIS RALLIES ARE BIGGER SO HE MUST BE WINNING

Scottie Nell Hughes insisted Sunday that she’s not concerned about Trump’s falling poll numbers because his rallies are so big and enthusiastic. In 2012, the Romney campaign believed the same about its large and enthusiastic rallies, but the big crowds there did not foreshadow an electoral rout.

First, CNN anchor Poppy Harlow played video of Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Meet the Press Sunday finally admitting that the campaign is “running behind” in the polls. Then Harlow played the Republican nominee himself saying that the polls that say his campaign is losing are all wrong.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN



“The numbers are looking phenomenal, don’t believe the media,” Trump said.
So, who’s right? Harlow asked. “Are you concerned that your candidate seems to be on a very different page than your campaign manager when it comes to where they stand two weeks out?”
“Well, I don’t think they’re on a completely different page,” Hughes replied. “They’ve been probably on the same page closer than you see Robby Mook and Hillary Clinton on, after some of the disastrous comments he made this morning.”
“But when it comes to Florida, there really is a lot of optimism,” she said. “The reason why the Trump team is extremely happy. Right now, they’re up in absentee ballots. You have the four events that will have the 50,000 in attendance who Mr. Trump will be eye-to-eye with in the next three days. Early voting just is now starting in Florida in 50 counties tomorrow. They’ve not even started really to vote in the lines like we’ve seen in North Carolina and other areas, in Georgia, we’re seeing actually the rural areas are the high voter turnout. And you’re not seeing the same enthusiasm in the more urban areas which often skew more Democratic.”

When asked whether the Trump team is concerned that their ground game is millions of dollars and months behind Clinton’s, Hughes airily dismissed the concerns and pivoted to attack Clinton.
“We always knew going into it that the ‘Clinton Machine’ was going to be huge to defeat, especially when paired up with the amazing machine that the Democrats have built,” Hugues said. 
“Overwhelmingly, right now,” she continued, “females are turning out to vote.” All over the country, she said, women are turning out to early voting in record numbers, which “might” help Hillary Clinton, she said, but not with women who are unswayed by the “recent scandals” around Trump.
Author Hilary Rosen countered with the fact that Clinton is getting the overwhelming majority of women voters.

Hughes replied that the huge numbers of people turning out to Trump rallies puts her mind at rest about the polls. If people are willing to wait in line, sometimes for hours, to see Donald Trump, then they’ll do whatever it takes to get to the polls.

In October, 2012, Republican nominee Gov. Mitt Romney was actually drawing larger crowds to his rallies than Pres. Barack Obama. However, Romney lost in the polls. Empirically, crowd size is a lousy predictor of electoral success.

TOM HANKS GOES DEPLORABLE ON SNL

Saturday Night Live,” actor Tom Hanks went full deplorable. He donned a red “Make America Great Again” hat and sported an over-grown, graying goatee to hilariously channel a “typical” Trump supporter as a guest on “Black Jeopardy.”
“They told me a fella can win some money, so let’s win some money. Get ‘er done,” Hanks said as contestant “Doug.”

Some of the skit’s “Black Jeopardy” categories included, “You Better,” “Big Girls,” and “White People.” After answering a few of the questions, Tom Hanks’ “Doug” offered that he ignores the $40 a month he’s required to put into his 401K, adding that lottery scratchers are the way to go. When there was a question about the new iPhone requiring a thumbprint “for your safety,” Doug answered correctly that it was all a con.

Another question was about the claim that “every vote counts” where Doug replied, “Come on, they’ve already decided who wins even before it happens.”

"YOUR SKIN COLOR WILL BE YOUR UNIFORM"

Cheeto Jesus' recent rhetoric about rigged elections and a constitutional crisis would fulfill the fantasies of a few of his nutters [followers], who’ve been stockpiling weapons and food as they look forward to what most people would consider a worst-case scenario.

Jim Moseley, a self-described “Christian soldier” from Greenville, South Carolina, is buying extra ammunition and canned goods to prepare for what he believes will be a second civil war, reported The (Toronto) Star.

“Once the trucks stop rolling, the grocery shelves will go empty and gasoline rationing will go into effect,” Moseley wrote in a Facebook message early this week.

The newspaper caught up with Moseley, a 59-year-old retired salesman, earlier this week to discuss Trump’s darkening campaign rhetoric.

It’s clear that, whatever words Trump is using to question the integrity of the election, Moseley and at least some other supporters are interpreting his message as the declaration of a war they’ve been itching to fight.
“Liberals will have targets on their backs, as their behaviors are pretty much evident,” Moseley posted. “Race wars will begin as well, as your skin color will be your uniform!”
It’s not clear, of course, whether any of these lone-wolf patriots will act out their violent fantasies — but election officials in some states aren’t taking any chances.

Denver is requiring its 350 election judges to complete active shooter training ahead of the Nov. 8 election, just in case.

A Republican campaign office in North Carolina was fire-bombed over the weekend in a still-unsolved attack, and a Democratic campaign office in the same county was targeted by vandals on the same day.

Right-wing militias, which have grown dramatically during the presidency of Barack Obama and the concurrent popularity of social media, are using the prospect of a Clinton election win to recruit new members.

Three militia members in Kansas were arrested last week in a plot to bomb an apartment building where Muslim refugees — including dozens of children — live on Nov. 9, both the anniversary of Kristallnacht and the day after Election Day.

BURN IN HELL

Keith Olbermann seemed visibly shaken yesterday after Donald Trump said at the third presidential debate that he might not accept the results of the election.
“It was the first time in American history, through dozens of venomous painful campaigns and a series of impossibly close elections, the first and only time that a candidate of a major party had violated the fundamental precept of our democracy,” Olbermann explained. “It shakes every one of our freedoms, it mocks every dead American soldier, it spits in every sacrifice made under our flag.”
“This time it slipped passed no one. Not the moderator, not Fox News, not even Breitbart.com,” he continued. “It was not a flash of anger from a man who gets angry once an hour. It was not another slab of red meat thrown to his crazed supporters. It was not another outrageous statement to throw up against the wall in this cheap reality show version of a presidential campaign. He meant it! He means it!”

Shouting at the camera, Olbermann declared: “Donald Trump is not invested in Democracy! Donald Trump is not invested in our Constitution! Donald Trump is not invested in America! Donald Trump is not invested in preventing people from being killed on the streets after an election like this were a Third World police state!”

“Burn. In. Hell!” the broadcaster yelled.

Olbermann concluded by calling on the Republican Party to force its nominee to withdraw.
“Compel him to withdraw! Now!” Olbermann demanded. “Litigate against him, find enough doctors and have him declared psychiatrically incompetent. At minimum, cut off his funding completely and denounce him in the strongest possible terms because this nightmare, this fascist, this Trump is now your responsibility.”

"IT''S NOT FAIR TO QUOTES TRUMP ON HIS RIGGED ELECTION CLAIMS"

GOP representative Renee Ellmers, a Trump nutter surrogate for Donald Trump, told CNN host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday that it was “not fair” to make her defend the GOP nominee’s claim that U.S. elections were being “rigged” for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

In recent days, Trump has pushed the suggestion that Hillary Clinton will be an illegitimate president if she wins because of “large scale voter fraud,” a claim which experts say is not only preposterous, but it also undermines the democratic system.

Ellmers cried foul on Tuesday when Cuomo asked her about Trump’s remarks.
“We’re talking about the Clintons and we’re talking about Hillary Clinton who is the most corrupt politician to ever run for office,” Ellmers opined. “Ninety-six percent of political contributions have been given to Hillary Clinton from you in the media.”

“Everything you just said has nothing to do with election fraud,” Cuomo pointed out. “There has been a lot of exhaustive research on this. And the idea of widespread fraud in any election, let alone this one, has almost no basis in fact.”
“You are focusing on one area, the democratic system,” Ellmers complained. “That’s not fair! That’s really not what Donald Trump is talking about. He has talked about the rigged media against him… We’re even finding out that the FBI and the State Department was asking for quid pro quo! He is looking at this from a 30,000-foot level. And he is saying when you add it all up, it does amount to fraud.”

“But that’s not election fraud,” Cuomo interrupted. “Don’t undermine the process.”
“What you are doing is you are taking one piece,” the North Carolina Republican replied. “These aren’t individual silos, these aren’t all in a vacuum, they are all cumulative. And they all add up.”
 
“If you are going to say there’s fraud, you have to prove it,” Cuomo insisted. “This is very dangerous, otherwise, to undermine the election.” 
“No! It’s not very dangerous,” Ellmers remarked. “What’s very dangerous is electing someone like Hillary Clinton behind the backs of the American people. You want proof? I’ll give you proof. I’ll give you proof that this woman is corrupt.” 
“All I’m talking about is the election fraud,” Cuomo shrugged. 
“So, if she’s elected will you have me back afterwards, after there’s proof?” Ellmers pleaded. “It’s the American people that are saying this, the American people think this is a rigged system. So when you criticize, you are criticizing the American people.”
