THE RESISTANCE
A Cheeto Jesus surrogate said Saturday that the Republican presidential candidate had appeared to change his hardline views on immigration because he didn't want to be like President Barack Obama.
Appearing on Fox News, extreme idiot Katrina Pierson was asked why Clownstick's “clear” immigration policies had become “complicated” over the past week.
“Well it is not really complicated,” she replied. “Mr. Trump is simply trying to have a discussion about what needs to happen and what he wants to do. He has said many times in many rallies that he doesn’t want to be like Barack Obama and start signing executive orders, and he will have to work with Congress to get some of the more complex things done. But his overall message has not changed. There is no path to citizenship. There is no path to — those here illegally will have to leave.”
Trump has vowed to kick more than 10 million undocumented immigrants out of the country using a “deportation force” and to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. But Trump has suggested he is willing to “soften” his hardline views.
Pierson said Trump is merely using different words to describe his immigration plan.
“He’s just not using those words anymore, and he does want to work with people, which is why he said that in order to get this process done,” she remarked.
Larry Wilmore, starting his last week on The Nightly Show – kept the heat on Cheeto Jesus and his dumbass surrogates.
“Donald Trump has stopped being funny,” said Wilmore. “He’s stopped being outrageous. He’s stopped being politically incorrect. He’s just downright dangerous.”
He also called it a “false equivalency” to argue that Democratic presidential nominee is as much of a liar as Trump.
Clinton, he argued, “is a very smart and capable politician, who many people don’t trust because she spends too much time lawyering her words so she doesn’t lose votes instead of telling us what she actually fucking thinks, all right? Donald Trump is a psychopathic narcissist who not only has the hands of an infant, he has the mind of one.”

Wilmore tried to quell the notion he was picking on Trump “spokesgoblin” Katrina Pierson, until he saw footage of her insisting that President Barack Obama initiated the US’ military campaign in Afghanistan, while ignoring the disasters hitting the country during George W. Bush’s presidency.
Wilmore went on to say: “There was a horrible hurricane — which, thanks to Pierson, is no longer the first thing that comes up when you google the words ‘Katrina’ and ‘Total fucking shitshow.'”
Trump nutter Katrina Pierson presented yet another unique take on history, telling host Victor Blackwell that President Barack Obama invaded Afghanistan.
Fresh from defending Donald Trump supposed “sarcastic” remarks that Obama is the “founder” of ISIS, Pierson attempted to explain to Blackwell that Obama also took the U.S. into Afghanistan after pulling out of Iraq.
“If you want to go way back, we can look at the troop surge. And after 2007, al Qaeda was essentially in ashes,” she explained. “It was Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton who then destroyed the entire rollout by wanting to pull out early, announcing their plans, ignoring intelligence and that’s the reason why ISIS is a global issue and not a –”
Blackwell then interrupted her, “Barack Obama in 2004, is that what you said?”
“No,” she replied. “I said afterwards. After the surge when al Qaeda was in ashes. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — remember we weren’t even in Afghanistan by this time. Barack Obama went into Afghanistan creating another problem. It was Hillary Clinton and her incidents in Libya. They armed the rebels and funded them.”

The reality is, even though it doesn't fit the narrative of these nutters - the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001 in an effort to overthrown the Taliban. George W. Bush was president at the time.
Wilmore didn’t mince words last night The comedian showed the clip of Fuckface Von Clownstick’s latest controversy, claiming that a few weeks ago “we thought it couldn’t get worse” than Trump’s attack on the Gold Star family. Then Clownstick made comments encouraging Second Amendment supporters to do something if Hillary Clinton gets elected.
“At this point, if you vote for Trump, you’re just a dick,” Wilmore said, to thunderous applause from his audience. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I hope you get destroyed by a horse-sized duck. How’s that?”
He asserted that there is no possible way it could be misinterpreted, but “Clowntsick’s spokesgobblin , Katrina Pierson” brought amazement to Wilmore as he “watched the bullshit pour out of her mouth.”
In a CNN appearance, Pierson claimed it was about Clinton and gun control. CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that Trump was talking about what Second Amendment supporters could do if she won. Pierson disagreed.
“Okay, let me stop you right there. Fuck you, that is what he was talking about! I don’t care how convoluted your explanation. We’re not stupid! We can hear! Stop trying to explain him away.”
Rep. Duncan Hunter tried to explain Cheeto Jesus by saying that he isn’t the most eloquent of speakers, “Let’s say Trump’s an English professor with a Ph.D. in grammar.”
Wilmore stopped the clip right there trying not to laugh:
“First of all, he can’t get a Ph.D. for a subject that’s taught in the fifth grade, okay? That’s like getting a bachelor’s of science in kickball or something. And just to be clear, your argument is that Trump is so incoherent he can’t be held accountable when his words might constitute a federal crime.”
Then there’s the “human embodiment of impotent rage himself Rudy Giuliani,” who blamed the entire incident on “the Clinton spin machine.
” Wilmore that it again presupposes we can’t hear what Trump is actually saying. “Like he’s blaming us for hearing exactly what Trump said. And here’s what really gets me about this: Giuliani is diminishing the power of Trump’s words, yet he’s not always so calm about language,”
Wilmore said, showing a clip of the former New York mayor blaming the Black Lives Matter movement for the police shootings in Dallas.
Wilmore noted the hypocrisy was obvious.
“So, when Trump calls for the violent death of his opposition, that’s just Clinton spin. But when it’s Black Lives Matter, they’re literally killing people with the power of their ‘hypnotizing Negro language,'” Wilmore said in air quotes. “Look, the difference between some random protester and someone running to be the leader of the free world is that once you’re president, everything you say has meaning.”
“I don’t care how they spin this, stop being so careless with your language,” Wilmore concluded.
Katrina Pierson, you are today's worst person in the world. Congrats!
Apparently, according to Cheeto Jesus Surrogate Katrina Pierson, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton got into a time machine and time warped to 2004 to change the rules of engagement that cost Captain Humayun Khan his life?
This is Pierson’s new synopsis of how the Captain lost his life.
Specifically, Pierson told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday that Capt. Humayun Khan “probably” died because Obama and Clinton crippled our military’s ability to fight by changing the rules of engagement.

“But surely you can understand the confusion, considering how Donald Trump never voted for the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton did,” Pierson said. “Then she didn’t support the troops to have what they need. It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagements that probably cost his life! So I don’t understand why it’s so hard to understand why Donald Trump was confused.”
There is a very obvious problem with this, of course: Khan was killed by a car bomb all the way back in 2004. During that time, Clinton was a senator for New York and Obama wasn’t even a senator yet.
Twitter was a blaze last night mocking Pierson with the hashtag #katrinapiersonhistory–to which, even by Katrina Pierson’s standards - is a new low for her. Like her mentor, Orange Hitler, nothing appears to be beyond the pale of these two asshats.
Pierson’s belligerent pathological ignorance is at an all time high. Why CNN continues to cater to these low information surrogates (Katrina Pierson and Scottie Nell Hughes), is beyond comprehension - which appears to be at an all time low for the cable news organization.
For Pierson’s ignorance, congrats, you are today’s worst person in the world!
Guess who doesn’t have a clue when it comes to speaking on moral authority - or is even more clueless when it comes to lecturing black people about their lack of leadership in their own community?
Fuckface Von Clownstick mouthpiece Katrina Pierson
In an appearance on CNN Monday, Clownstick’s mouthpiece said that the current tensions between police and the black community represented a lack of leadership, from President Obama down to the black communities themselves.
“These are actually symptoms of a much greater problem, which is a severe lack of leadership, not just in this country but in the black community,” Pierson said. “This has stemmed from irresponsibility at the executive level. You have a first black president who injects himself in local issues, particularly when it comes to police, and now we have this problem.”
CNN contributor Bakari Sellers didn’t waste any time dropping the hammer on Pierson.

“I don’t really have any idea what Ms. Pierson’s talking about,” Sellers said. “To say that we don’t have any leadership in the African-American community or to say that we’re just some community walking around aimlessly trying to find or look for some Messiah, it’s just not the case.”
Later in the segment, Sellers said he couldn’t “let Katrina’s statements, which were borderline asinine, go unchecked.”
Pierson is an embarrassment to the human race every time she gets on CNN. Popcorn anyone?
Katrina Pierson, you are today’s worst person in the world. Congratulations!
Fuckface Von Clownstick spokesperson Katrina Pierson quickly painted Mitt Romney as a sore loser on Friday after the former governor slammed the prospect of her employer becoming president.
“I think Mitt Romney’s really just upset because when he did attack Donald Trump on his business, Donald Trump let the whole world know that he had a Gucci store that was worth more than Mitt Romney,” Pierson told CNN host Wolf Blitzer. “So this is just sour grapes.”
The tete-a-tete between the Trump campaign and the GOP’s 2012 presidential candidate touched off when Romney rejected the idea of voting for the real estate magnate, saying that he could generate “trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, [and] trickle-down misogyny” if he were to be elected.

“As an individual I simply can’t put my name down as someone who voted for principles that suggest racism or xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, who’s been vulgar time and time again,” Romney told Blitzer.
Pierson responded by mocking Romney’s stance.
“There’s somehow a concept that being against Donald Trump is somehow against your values, against your integrity,” she said. “The last time I checked, if your values included surrendering the Supreme Court, giving up the First Amendment, Second Amendment and all those that follow, if those are your values, then maybe you should vote for Hillary Clinton because that’s what’s going to happen if these Republicans don’t support their nominee — which is what they asked all of us to do when it was Mitt Romney.”
Katrina Pierson, congratulations, you are today's asshat of the week.
Katrina Pierson, Trumps not so intelligent mouthpiece insisted on Monday that she and her boss continue to “believe” that a federal judge in the Trump University case is Mexican even though he is a U.S. citizen.
At a rally last week in California, Trump attacked Judge Gonzalo Curiel for hearing a class-action lawsuit against Trump University, which former students have called a scam.
“I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s doing this,” Trump said. “The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican…I think the Mexicans are going to end up loving Donald Trump.”
On Monday, CNN host Alisyn Camerota called out Pierson for attacks on the judge’s ethnicity.
“Katrina, ‘We believe he’s Mexican,’ what is that?” Camerota asked.
Pierson argued that suing Trump University was “like saying if you graduate from Harvard and you don’t have the same outcome in your profession as everyone else, you should sue Harvard. And that’s just simply absurd.”
VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN
“All sorts of things were over promised,” the CNN host interrupted, “that Donald Trump was going to playing a more active role than he was, that there was more of a rate of job success than really was true.”
Pierson replied: “I think what is really interesting about this particular judge — as Mr. Trump refers to him as a Trump hater — is he even mentions on his judicial questionnaire that he was a La Raza lawyers association member. This is an organization that has been out there organizing these anti-Trump protesters with the Mexican flags, they are pushing it, these signs have been very apparent.”
Fuckface Von Clownstick spokeswoman Katrina Pierson gave an interesting reply Tuesday to a new ad from an anti-Trump conservative super PAC, which featured women reading back offensive things The Donald has said about many different women over the years.
“I really don’t think this is gonna be a problem. A lot of those statements are what Mr. Trump made as a television character,” Pierson said, during an appearance on Fox News. “So I don’t think that some of that is gonna stick. Again, everyone knows who Mr. Trump is — that’s why they’re having a very hard time, spending hundreds of millions trying to redefine who Mr. Trump is.”
Reality is, at least two of those quotes are from Real Donald Trump the candidate. (One of them was about Megyn Kelly, and the other about Carly Fiorina.)
“There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her — wherever,” regarding Megyn Kelly at the first Fox News debate; and of Carly Fiorina, “Look at that face — would anyone vote for that?”
I am certainly no fan of Ben Ferguson, but yesterday he annihilated Fuckface Von Clownstick and GOP front runner Donald Trump, accusing him of cynically taking advantage of veterans because it is “politically advantageous” to do so as the controversial primary debate loomed Thursday.
In a prolonged spat with Fox News over tough questions directed at him by moderator and network host Megyn Kelly, Trump abruptly announced he would boycott the Thursday night debate in Iowa just ahead of the caucuses. Trump said instead he will hold an event at Drake University and give all the proceeds to veterans and wounded warriors.
Ferguson wasn’t buying it, and let his fellow guest, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, know it.
“This is a sick and vile move by a guy who likes to throw those words around: Donald Trump,” Ferguson said to CNN host Chris Cuomo. “To use Wounded Warriors and their true battle scars to his political advantage, I would say this to Katrina: I’m not dumb enough to buy that this is about the veterans, because Donald Trump has never held an event for the veterans on his campaign.”
Ferguson also called Trump out for trying to stop veterans from selling items near his hotel on Fifth Avenue. According to a report by the New York Daily News, Trump lobbied lawmakers for years to limit vendors, which included disabled veterans, from selling items outside his swank property.
“While disabled veterans should be given every opportunity to earn a living, is it fair to do so to the detriment of the city as a whole or its tax paying citizens and businesses?” Trump wrote in a 1991 letter to the then-chairman of the state.
VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN
Assembly’s Committee on Cities, obtained by the Daily News. “Do we allow Fifth Ave., one of the world’s finest and most luxurious shopping districts, to be turned into an outdoor flea market, clogging and seriously downgrading the area?”
In light of this, Ferguson called Trump’s Thursday move hypocritical.
“So for him to come out now and to self-righteously say, ‘I’m gonna stand up for veterans, and I’m going to do an event that I haven’t had time to do’ until it was convenient for him tonight, many veterans are going to be turned off by this,” Ferguson said. “They went and fought for their country and now Donald Trump uses them as political pawns.”
Cuomo said the head of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Paul Rieckhoff, said the organization would take no donations from Trump.
Katrina Pierson, the national spokesperson for Fuckface Von CLownstick presidential campaign, on Sunday defended her call for a “pure breed” president by arguing that she was a “half-breed” like President Barack Obama.
In 2012, Pierson had complained that both then-GOP nominee Mitt Romney and Obama were not “pure breeds” because their fathers had not been born in the United States. She has also quipped on Twitter that Obama was refusing to help the black community even though he was the “head Negro in charge.”
On Sunday, Pierson told CNN’s Brian Stelter that “even minorities and women” were supporting Trump.
Stelter reminded Pierson that she had griped that Obama was not a “pure breed.”
“Would you like to retract that?” he wondered.
“No, not at all,” she replied. “These tweets — I’m an activist and I am a half-breed. I’m always getting called a half-breed. And on Twitter when you’re fighting with liberals and even establishment, you go back at them in the same silliness they are giving you.”
“So, I myself am a half-breed,” Pierson added. “We have entered silly season. Donald Trump is up in the polls. There’s desperate campaigns out there, they can’t take him down so they try to take down the people that are around him. And we’re just not going to get distracted by all that nonsense.”
Extreme Nutter Katrina Pierson, Clownstick's mouth piece - facts are emerging that Pierson is a unemployment cheat and agenda 21 conspiracy theorist.
While much of the recent attention surrounding Katrina Pierson has focused on her bullet necklace, the national spokesperson for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has also come under scrutiny for both improperly claiming unemployment benefits and pushing the “Agenda 21” conspiracy theory.
According to the National Journal, Pierson received $11,440 in benefits between 2012 and 2013, when she did volunteer work for Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) run for office. However, state rules say that anyone receiving unemployment should be actively looking for a paid position while doing so.
The Texas Observer reported last year that in 2011, Pierson led classes for Waco Tea Party members warning them about “Agenda 21,” a popular conservative conspiracy theory claiming that a nonbinding plan approved by United Nations officials in 1992 was really a vehicle for the organization to seize control of the US.
Pierson told the Observer that she led similar discussions in Arizona, Washington D.C., Kansas and several other states and considered it her full-time job, arguing that “[when] you realize that you’ve been lied to your whole life, it’s an eye-opening experience.”
The Journal also noted that Pierson turned against Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) for supporting Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) bid for the GOP nomination, just two months after publicly praising him to fellow Tea Party supporters.
Pierson complained on Twitter that Gowdy “lost all credibility when he nominated John Boehner for Speaker so he’s perfect for Marco Rubio.” But on Oct. 26, an email in Pierson’s name went out seeking help “drafting” Gowdy to become House Speaker, despite the fact that Gowdy stated he was not interested in the position.
“These outside groups use members’ names, not just his, without their knowledge and mislead people to think they support or are connected to a group when they are not,” a spokesperson for Gowdy said after reading the email.
Pierson joined Trump’s campaign two weeks after that email was sent.
Fuckface Von Clownstick Nutter Katrina Pierson Wearing Bullet Necklace
Fuckface Von Clownstick Nutter Katrina Pierson responded to criticism over her fashion decision to wear a necklace featuring bullets during a CNN interview, the spokesperson for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign sarcastically suggested that she might wear a fetus around her neck during her next TV appearance.
Katrina Pierson, whose appearances on TV representing the billionaire businessman only seem to add more controversy to his campaign, stopped by CNN”s “The Lead” to discuss Trump’s decision to go after former President Bill Clinton while wearing the necklace made up of interlinked bullet cartridges.
While little attention was paid to her message, her choice of jewelry became a topic of discussion on social media with some wondering if she was pandering to the NRA for her boss.
Writing on Twitter, Shannon Watts, the Founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, asked: “Surely @KatrinaPierson wore bullet necklace on #CNN to bring attention to 90 Americans fatally shot daily #gunsense.”
Pierson responded almost immediately, writing, “Maybe I’ll wear a fetus next time& bring awareness to 50 million aborted people that will never get to be on Twitter.”
Via Twitter, Shannon Watts, the Founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America,asked: “Surely @KatrinaPierson wore bullet necklace on #CNN to bring attention to 90 Americans fatally shot daily #gunsense.”
Pierson responded almost immediately, writing, “Maybe I’ll wear a fetus next time & bring awareness to 50 million aborted people that will never get to be on Twitter.”
To date, every time this asshat has had an appearance on CNN she has brought the lunatic fringe from the insane asylum - the type of lunacy that brings outrage to those with an IQ above negative 500 - which can be attributed and associate with every political tactical move the Trump campaign makes.
Pierson recently criticized the other GOP presidential candidatesover their reluctance to commit to using nuclear weapons on America’s enemies, glibly stating, “What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?”
In another appearance she dismissed criticism of Trump’s since retracted proposal to ban Muslims — including American citizens — from the U.S., saying: “So what? They’re Muslim.”
Pierson’s douchbaggery is matched by none, as nothing is beyond the pale of this nutter. For this effort, Katrina has earned today’s worst person in the world award. Enjoy nutter!
"What good does it do to have nuclear weapons if you're afraid to use it"? Let this sink in a bit before reading just how fucked up Ms. Katrina Pierson is.
Fuckface Von Clownstick's spokeswoman lashed out at his fellow Republican candidates for saber-rattling about war — inferring that they are all talk and no action — before wondering whether it does the U.S. any good to have nuclear weapons if our leaders are afraid to use them.
Appearing on The O’Reilly Factor, Clownstick's spokesperson Katrina Pierson hammered at the other candidates while covering for her boss who, in a recent debate, was stumped when asked the country’s nuclear strike capability known as the “nuclear triad.”
NUTTER SPEAKING ON USING NUCLEAR WEAPONS
“What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?” Pierson asked. “And that’s where we are today and we need to fix these problems. Not just complaining and name-calling about who started this and who started that.”
Pierson’s comments stunned conservative columnist and Desert Storm veteran Kurt Schlichter, who got into a contentious argument with Pierson over her boss’s ignorance on nuclear matters.
“The point of the nuclear triad is to be afraid to use the damn thing. You want to scare the hell out of the other side,” Schlichter excitedly yelled. “And frankly, my side will be more scared if Donald Trump gets his finger on the button.”
In a previous television appearance, Pierson defended Clownstick's much-criticized proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country, telling a horrified S.E. Cupp of CNN: “So what? They’re Muslim.”
And this is why Fuckface Von Clownstick doesn't get access to nuclear key codes!
Congratulations Katrina, you are today's asshat of the day. Enjoy!
The candidate’s rise has been achieved with a campaign manager known as ‘a bomb thrower’ and a spokeswoman who has warned of UN takeovers in Texas...aka the nutters
The Manager
Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s aggressive campaign manager, has been described as “a bomb thrower” with “a knack for spectacle, an eye toward making money and a proven willingness to defy the Republican Party”. He has duly overseen a campaign which has consistently surprised both the party and pundits. An experienced New Hampshire operative who last worked for Americans for Prosperity, part of the Koch brothers’ conservative political network, Lewandowski cut his teeth running a fiery if unsuccessful Senate campaignfor outsider Bob Smith. He travels to almost every campaign event with Trump and is constantly by his side.
The Adviser
Sam Clovis is a long-time conservative activist from Iowa who has run unsuccessfully for US Senate and state treasurer. He started the 2016 campaign as a supporter of former Texas governor Rick Perry, writing of Trump in a private email that he had “no foundation in Christ, which is a big deal”. Before Perry dropped out, however, Clovis signed on with Trump as national co-chair and senior policy adviser. An economics professor at Morningside College in Sioux City, Clovis has helped Trump craft policies including his proposed ban on Muslims entering the country.
The Spokeswoman
Katrina Pierson has long been a fixture on cable news, often defending Trump, although she only officially joined his campaign in November. A professional activist who has warned Tea Party members of UN plans to take over Texas, she has worked for the Tea Party Leadership Fund, one of the most prominent “ scam Pacs” – groups, mostly on the right, that spend almost all the money they raise on themselves. In 2014, she mounted an unsuccessful primary challengeto veteran Texas congressman Pete Sessions. Her campaign was damaged by the revelation that while preparing her run and doing consulting work for the Senate campaign of Ted Cruz, she was receiving government unemployment benefits.
The Conspiracy Theorist
Unveiling his plan to ban all Muslims from entering the US, Trump cited a poll conducted by a think tank run by the controversial Frank Gaffney. A Reagan administration defense official, Gaffney was squeezed out of government, then founded the Center for Security Policy. He has since become a prominent conspiracy theorist, claiming for example that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and top conservative activist Grover Norquist are agents of the Muslim Brotherhood. Gaffney, who also warns frequently of an electromagnetic pulse attack on the US, has become persona non grata in much of the conservative movement.
The Hip-Hop Mogul
Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons has described himself as a longtime friend of Trump. However, the strains of the campaign seem to have caused a rupture. Simmons this week said in a public statement: “I want to begin this tough criticism by reminding you that I am the chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, whose sole mission is to fight bigotry of all kinds.” He added: “You are a generous, kind man who has built a career on negotiating deals where everybody wins. Now, you seem like a one-man wrecking ball willing to destroy our nation’s foundation of freedom.”
