As we discussed on Friday, Donald Trump’s War on Women Who Won’t Succumb To His Charms continues unabated. Emperor Baby Fists’ latest target is Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of Morning Joe. Mika’s co-host is her boyfriend/fiance Joe Scarborough, and for Joe and Mika, the bloom has been off the bigly rose for months and months. While Joe used to pander to Bigly, Mika never did. And now they both criticize Bigly on a regular basis, almost every morning. Last week, Mika was making jokes on-air about Trump’s fake Time Mag covers, the same covers which are framed and in full view in many Trump properties. Well, Trump lost his f–king mind over the fact that Mika was making fun of him. He tweeted that when he saw her around New Year’s, she was “bleeding” from a “facelift.” His tweets were widely condemned by many in his own party, but he refused to apologize. Because of course. Mika and Joe appeared on Morning Joe on Friday morning to discuss all of that and more. Here’s the full segment (it’s long, but worth watching):
So, all of that happened on Friday. It was one of the big news stories, because people still can’t believe that the president of the United States sits around, tweeting bullying nonsense to TV hosts. People still can’t believe that Donald Trump is that petty, that insecure, that unhinged, that childish, that misogynistic. Really, peeps? You still can’t believe it? After everything we’ve already seen, you can’t believe it? Yeah. So, of course, Trump got on Twitter on Saturday morning to tweet more sh-t about Mika and Joe:
Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
“Crazy” and “dumb as a rock.” From the president to two private citizens. Because one of them made fun of his fake Time covers.
What else? There was this:
Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL. What are they trying to hide?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
Here’s a scary story about that – what if Bigly just wants all of this data so he can hand it over to Russian hackers so they can more easily wormhole their way into the system?
He also tweeted about fake news and CNN. Dumb-as-a-rock Bigly.
I am extremely pleased to see that @CNN has finally been exposed as #FakeNews and garbage journalism. It's about time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
I am thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
And then this:
The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media – but remember, I won….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
….the 2016 election with interviews, speeches and social media. I had to beat #FakeNews, and did. We will continue to WIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
My use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
More like post-modern. Or better yet, surrealist presidential, because no one understands what the f–k is happening. This is our world. This is the man who has the nuclear codes.

I hope everyday that he will not have a meltdown and “push the button”….I am genuinely frightened no one could stop him if N.Korea or Russia insult him!
I guess this should make me double down on appreciation of everyone one in my life!
It gets worse guys. He just tweeted a video clip of himself attacking the CNN logo. We are in danger and there is not one republican in power who is going to stand up for us.
I just can’t imagine the inner workings of his demented mind to tweet that video? WTF This is pure insanity.
Oh Sara Suckabee, what was that you said? The POTUS has never tried to incite violence?
He is completely unhinged. He has tweeted some crazy shit before but I had to triple check to make sure it was really his account that tweeted the CNN thing. I am at a loss. I honestly don’t know how we ever come back from this. The Untied States is a laughing stock.
OMG! I just saw it (while watching CNN). What the hell is wrong with him? I’ve seen his ridiculous wrestling video before, but this is beyond crazy. This asswipe needs mental help if he thinks this is okay. He has more than a few screws loose if he thinks this is normal. So embarrassing.
Now someone from his team is on TV saying this is amusing and the media is overreacting. He’s comparing it to SNL.This is so disgusting and Trump and Trumpsters should be ashamed!
This is so scary that the president is doing this,and it actually made me cry
I’m aghast that anyone still supports this inappropriate, vicious and downright trashy behavior.
It’s only gonna get worse. Republicans seriously need to get on board and work with Democrats on the Presidential nuclear option: Article 25. The man is mentally unstable.
I honestly believe he wants Mika, Joe and anybody at CNN harmed. He has no conscience. It would please him if someone killed in his name. It would boost his ego. This is really what we’re dealing with. He’s tweeting dogwhistles to his most unhinged supporters on the fringe. Orange Apocalypse isn’t just annoying, he’s dangerous.
Seriously. This? This basic, fleeting mockery that all public faces endure… this is what Our POTUS becomes fixated on?! There aren’t more important matters he needs to think about? JFC. Maybe… just maybe his people are keeping the important stuff from him. And maybe he’s too stupid to realize being president is actually so hectic you don’t have time to tweet, golf every weekend, and get you blowouts/tanning in.
But, he’s a dangerous man. Not in a movie villain sense. Just in that idiot that tells the bad guys the plan because he thinks he’s so clever.
I suspect his launch codes are actually a cipher from davinci code. And he’s too stupid to realize he’s an idiot.
We need a coup. Seriously.
Hazel
I think a coup is in the works.
To the public Trump appears to have some party support, but that’s not guarantees it’s the same behind the scenes. Too much is getting leaked painting Trump in a terrible light. Setting the stage to remove him.
@ FLORC : “A coup is in the works … Too much is getting leaked painting Trump in a terrible light”.
That is what stands out for me. Trump complains about leaks from the FBI, etc. but HIS White House filled with HIS staff leaks as bad as anything. Word-for-word stuff comes out from private meetings with the president. His own staff want him gone. This reminds me of a conspiracy theory comment pre-election that all the Republican support for Trump was just a ruse to get VP Pence into the Oval Office. Scary but that is starting to look like it has some truth to it.
A few minutes ago he posted a video of himself beating up a CNN effigy. It’s time to invoke Article 25. He is not fit to serve.
Can that possibly be real? Last night I saw he’d replied to a bunch of people and something about them led me to believe a troll had hijacked his account. But if it’s real isn’t it a textbook example of what Article 25 is for (not that previous behavior wasn’t). A psychotic break?
He is mentally ill but is this a psychotic breakdown or just his “normal ” behavior?
I do think he is mentally ill. But he always has been. There is no other explanation for such hideously buffoonish behavior. He wants to hurt others but with this most recent video he has entered the realm of self destruction.
Watched a 60 min episode that gives me comfort. Its not as simple as having a code or the button. The President has to go through channels and they together have to agree on the nuking. Can’t be launched until multiple people are involved the president is just one of those people. Hopefully the true key holders wouldn’t let him do it.
That is slightly comforting.
Straight up lunatic and the world is waiting for the corrupt Republican Party to wake up and get rid off him..
If there is one thing Trump has shown the world is that the world can survive without USA. Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Canada have all moved on without USA.
I truly feel sorry for Americans who didn’t vote for this despicable creature and I pray that you can get out of this nightmare very very soon.
The Republican Party is just waiting for Trump to continue to hang himself with his own twits until they have enough reasons to get rid of him. But this is the big problem: his supporters will not have it. They don’t care what Trump does as long as he builds a wall between Mexico and The US.
Kris Kobach is even more evil than donald trump, hard as that is to believe. Kobach is deliberately, malevolently evil, while trump is evil largely as a by-product of his stupidity, selfishness and ego. Same miserable result, though.
http://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/magazine/the-man-behind-trumps-voter-fraud-obsession.html
ETA This was responding to third ginger below.
Thanks for the response.
And Kobach’s own state of Kansas cannot hand over the request info due to privacy laws. He is such a psycho.
The Republican Party *is* awake, they know he is cray cray and don’t care. He is their inner voice. As long as he continues to get anti-choice supeeme court judges, gets rid of healthcare for the middle class and the poor in exchange for tax cuts, let’s them spend most of our money on building up more arms, keeps Muslims out of our country and prevents minorities from voting for Democrats….he can walk the streets naked with a pacifier for all they care.
For them, the ends justify the means. Progressives have bought the GOP’s bull that they are the moral majority, it’s a commercial slogan and nothing else.
So-called MODERATES have bought the GOP’s bull that they are the “moral majority”. That’s why they keep voting for GOPs and/or refuse to vote for viable Democratic candidates who could stop dangerous GOP agendas. Thereby, still willing accomplices to it.
Progressives have never bought it, except to say that whatever “morality” the GOPs think they’re representing (e.g. anti-choice, anti-gay) cannot be legislated anyway.
The information request from the so-called Voter Fraud Commission is the kind of thing conservatives usually scream their heads off about, so it’s obvious that it’s an attempt at voter suppresion, which they love. Proud to say our state of Virginia is having none of it!! Big fat FU to Trump and his idiot henchman Kobach.
Yep, my state of CT told them to F off too.
Mississippi, deep Red Mississippi, told them to go jump in the Gulf.
http://twitter.com/braddjaffy/status/880897729152638977
I loved what Mississippi said. When I heard it yesterday, I hoped all the states would feel the same
I’m glad these states are standing firm. Interesting how gov’t wants to hand off health care to the states, but now wants to dig deeply into voter records for the states. So states handle this, but we don’t think you can that?
They want to look for ants in the cupboard while a thief is stealing everything from their house (alleged voter fraud vs. foreign interference).
@ Beth : Kentucky said it best. The secretary of state said there wasn’t enough bourbon in Kentucky to make Trump’s request make sense.
I honestly don’t know what to say anymore about the last couple days of Bigly’s tweets. He’s delusional, as is anyone who supports him. “Modern day presidential?” He has destroyed the office, hopefully not irreparably. My head hurts, as does my heart.
He is dangerous because he has erased all precedence of propriety. This is how future political battles will be fought because the rules have now been reset. This sadly really is the beginning of “modern day presidencies”. Presidents hurling unfiltered insults at critics. The only way to prevent this is if all sides unanimously declared his presidency a failure and he was shipped away in disgrace. Then maybe that reset button could be reversed.
I hear you. I’d like to think the rules have been temporarily suspended rather than completely reset, because plenty of Americans — ordinary citizens and politicians — seem to still believe in integrity and propriety. But who knows. I’m truly sick over this presidency and what the GOP has done.
Yes, Esmom. My belief, maybe it is only a hope, is that the pendulum will swing back by 2020, and voters will demand more dignified behavior.
My hope is that there is a majority who view this behavior as what it is — beyond juvenile, completely self-serving and a terrible example to emulate.
He literally thinks that his own private annoyances are as important as anything else going on in the world.
And he seems to believe that the ultimate insults are “failing” and “low rated”. Ever the reality-show hack.
Again, he said he stands by his tweets because it’s “modern day presidential ” while his team tells us not to pay attention to the tweets because it’s only social media
They told us his tweets are an official record from the office. They can’t have it both ways.
Many other countries have had dangerous dictator-like leaders, and they have recovered.
They all fall in the end, don’t worry, things are still not permanently damaged.
Except for the people who died and the lives ruined. But yes, I know — we have to take the long view.
Germany survived an insane dictator and now has Angela Merkel-leader of the free world. England had Mad King George, we will be OK.
P.s don’t be distracted, continue to email and call your congressperson about the healthcare bill. Trump only has 12% support on that topic as opposed to 38% when it comes to Trump beating VS. the media and liberals. His first tweet about Mika was a fluke. The tweets this weekend are on PURPOSE by President Bannon to distract from the awful TrumpBadCare bill. Congress is back home and trying to hide under the cover of Trump tweets.
Also I wish the media would stop trying to DISprove they are not fake news. It places them in defense and dignifies his insanity. Its like someone coming up to you asking to provide proof that you are human. Or asking someone to come up with a birth certificate to prove he is American. Same tactic.
I dont know how or if we come back from this. I really don’t. I think if we survive Trump, most Americans will want to see the power of the Presidency diminished. Cause Trump is showing us that our democracy cannot handle an out of control Executive if the Legislative branch is complicit.
Trump is being held back by the system of checks and balances (Hello, court system and congress!). It would be much worse otherwise.
I can’t stop shaking my head at the sad state of affair we are in. I sometimes think I live in an alternate reality. What has become of the USA? A president that goes after private citizens in the open? Can they sue him for defamation? I saw a pic of the night Mika allegedly was bleeding and she was super fine. Not one hint she went under the scalpel. She should sue. What a freaking shame. We are going so low… so so so low. the bar is set below any moral and no Republican is putting the break on this mess. I would have some respect if they openly condemn his actions. I am so beyond pissed. Have a happy 4th of July y’all. I’m off to Millbrook with bf and his family. We will have time to drown our sorrow in reminiscing the past 140 days or so. Or better choose pretend Bigly is sleeping in his hut and the world will be fine for a couple of days..
I am not sure but I think the Republicans bought into to law that the Presidents can be sued during Clinton time.
Goes around comes around..
Even if she had open sores oozing pus he still had no business saying what he said. The problem with his “fake news” apparatus is it gets people arguing about the wrong things.
bingo, w.a.t.p.
divide, distract, detract.
She can sue him but I believe the law states that she/her lawyer(s) would have to prove that Trump knew he was lying and posted the tweet anyway, which is pretty difficult given his propensity to always lie about how he always lies.
It’s mind-boggling that this semi-sentient cheeto has the nerve to call anyone else dumb
45 is always transferring. If you says he’s a puppet, e.g. He replied you’re the puppet, for example. I believe at the start of his campaign he started talking down the news media. He kept it going until all his followers believe all news are false. They will believe his lies more than the truth they see with his own lies. Next he called Mexicans rapists ect and his followers believes him. If you read some comments most of his followers believes BO is not American. Now his main goals are to wipe out all the gains BO makes. BO left the employment rate about 4.5%, now he’s taking credit for that although he hasn’t created any jobs of significant. Before he was president he talked down unemployment said it was tripled the actual rate. Now it’s now fake news anymore.
Whenever his poll numbers are 40% or below it’s fake news, whenever it ticks up near 50% he starts crowing how great he’s doing. I cannot for the life of me how can anyone believe anything coming out of this mans mouth 👄 or off his fingers.
The Republican Party will never keep coming him out or call him on his lies because they are benefitting from them. They can manapulate him and get what they wants. Also, they are holding on to get another Supreme Court judge so they will control our lives with their conservative agenda, I’m just venting this morning because I’m afraid this man is capable of starting a war with NK who has weapons that is capable of reaching the HAWAII, I read.
You’re right, it was awful and unsettling to witness people just eat up the garbage Trump spewed throughout the campaign. I kept waiting for them to turn on him but the opposite seemed to happen. They blindly followed him. They seem to have no problem with an unhinged baby in our highest office, it’s truly unreal. A nightmare.
I am so embarrassed I live within 50 miles of this nut job.
For some reason your comment really hit my funny bone. Thanks for the giggle I needed to get through this morning’s fresh round of presidential horror.
I get it. The only advantage is that you might live in Maryland or Va., and they are still blue and have some sensible representatives.
I’m embarrassed that this nut job lives in my country. Humiliated that fellow Americans still support the biggest nut job president (cringe) in the countrys history
I am embarrassed that I share the same species as him.
Until he was inaugurated, I’ve lived within 50 miles of him for my entire life. He was buffoon as a “real estate magnate”.
Let me just say I’m not making fun of anyone with a mental illness but Trump is definitely mentally impaired and should not be allowed to be president any longer. The sad fact is the Republicans don’t care how unhinged he is as long as he signs whatever they put in front of him to get there disgustingly misogynist and hateful laws passed .
It’s not making fun to make this observation about one individual and he has simultaneous character flaws that are ripe for satire (and nervous laughter).
You aren’t wrong. I was sitting around with friends and some of my family and we were discussing this. Not as a joke but really trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with Tangerine. He is hiding something and I think it is psychiatric. Seriously, no one with their full facilities behaves this way. Remember how bizarre his physical was? You can’t tell me a man like him doesn’t have a personal physician. That “doctor” didn’t even examine him. Why would a healthy person do that? Why were people who knew him telling everyone he wasn’t mentally fit for the job?
Something is wrong with him.
Nothing wrong with what you’re saying. With the way he behaves, it really does look like something is wrong with him. Doctors have said the same
Yeah, a doc just replied to his CNN tweet that this is a national energency. I don’t think that’s hyperbolic at all. I cannot, cannot believe this.
And I don’t think it’s doing a disservice to the mentally ill to speculate about Trump. My teenage son struggles with depression and anxiety and last summer had a manic episode that required me taking him to the ER. It was scary as heck but now seems somewhat tame compared to what Trump is doing.
After 13 years without anxiety attacks, they’re back. My therapist said this is happening to many people because of Trump. I just had one while watching the Trump wrestling CNN video.
Thankfully I can come here and be around people who realize how bad this Trump stuff really is
@Beth: I used to have nightmares about nuclear war during the first years of Reagan. And then none until Trump was inaugurated, not even under GWB.
I’ve said before that I think Trump made himself the character of his reality show.
It gave him fame and attention, so he keeps playing the image of a despotic boss who can do as he pleases.
I sometimes wonder what he was like before the show, and I suspect it was just a shallow personality, like Paris Hilton or the K. family.
Getting Trump out of office would be the best thing we could do for people with mental illness. His presence just makes everything worse. Getting the Republicans out of power is the next best thing so we can maintain or improve health funding, public housing and other necessary programs services for people with mental illness. You know, like Medicaid.
I predict : during their meeting, putin will say ‘we want Alaska back’..and the addle brained one will hand it over as thanks for fixing election. It’s the easiest thing in the world to play trump, and I don’t know why the dems don’t catch on to this.
Sarah Palin will finally be able to see Russia from her back window.
Cintra: It’s 3:15am here in freezing Sydney, and your comment made me laugh so loudly that it woke the one cat who’s worked out how warm my heated throw is! Thanks for the giggle!
And who mocks up fake Time magazine covers except a deluded narcissist living in his own fake world of strength, nobility and integrity? He’s a lily-livered, unhinged, fat-arsed, mealy-mouthed, baby-fisted, pusillanimous git, who knows that even his wife and kids can’t stand him, and only tolerate him because of the dollars they get from him. He’s the tiny-lipped, ugly, schoolyard bully with rich parents which is how he manages to attract false friends, the one who can never attract a lover or true friend unless he buys them, and he knows it. This is the same pathological liar who who has the fake bigly panoramic photo of “his” inauguration… the one with the wrong date on it. He is so insecure that he can’t take a joke – because he is always the pathetic joke. He deserves nothing short of dangling for what he is doing to the American people. In the meantime, I hope he gets mocked incessantly and mercilessly (learn how to say it, Suckabee) until he loses his mind completely. 🎵🎶 In the city…keep on mockin’…🎶🎵
I feel so sorry for every decent person in America, and if his gullible supporters believe he cares one iota about them, they are even thicker than I first believed, and in for a very rude awakening when his orders start to bite them on their bums.
#ResistStance ✊️ and #MockOn.
Rachel Maddow, an American hero, made a fantastic point during her Friday intro: don’t play requests. Don’t let anyone yank your chain. This is a man who is willing to disgust in order to change the narrative. He’s willing to harm the presidency and the country in order to re-direct your attention, and he doesn’t give a f*ck. Don’t play requests. Keep your eye on the ball. Health care. Voter suppression. Russia. Obstruction of justice. Health care. Voter suppression. Russia. Obstruction of Justice.
Yes. He plays this game like a D-list celebrity, which is what he is.
D-list? He’s below Z at this point. D-liststers earn my respect in comparison to the “leader of the most powerful nation in the world”.
Drumpf is a joker. Putin is the King.
And Pumpkin Pie, Drumpf is meeting the King soon. God help us!!
Z-list game show host. I can’t believe a reality show /game show host is the leader of the free world.
Pass me the tissues to wipe my tears
I know. Putin will give him a glass of piss and Drumpf will not know the difference.
Beth, there has never been a free world. Ever. A FREE WORLD is an ILLUSION.
Yes, good points. But it seems like we can be outraged at his disgusting behavior while also keeping our eyes on the critical issues facing our country. I think he deserves to be rebuked, not that it does any good whatsoever. If I read one more comment from a deplorable complimenting Bigly on “punching back hard,” I might just smash my phone.
Esmom, it is not possible for me not to yell at the TV and scare the cats!!
I should stop watching and reading the news before I smash my phone, tablet,computer, and TV. I’ll scare the hell out of my cats and the gross lizards and armadillos in my yard if I start screaming
EsMom, 100%. There’s definitely room for outrage and disgust, and he deserves to be rebuked. But I would rather see headlines like “Trump is Still Tweeting about Mika, While Setting the Stage for Voter Intimidation” or “Trump is Still Tweeting about Mika, While His Party Tries to Kill Millions of Americans” or “Trump is Still Tweeting about Mika, While Ignoring the Russian National Security Threat and the First Reported Evidence of Possible Collusion.” Still working on the last one 😉
Shambles:
Thanks for bringing up Maddow’s take on Trump’s tweets. The media spent at least 2 days hashing and rehashing the Minka insult, and barely covered all of the horrible things his administration is up to. MSNBC, Maddow’s network, takes the bait on this crap all the time. Glad she called him out for the underlying intent of his nastiness, and the media for being led by it. Yes, it was awful, yes it appeared to be unhinged behavior. But it’s also a prime example of how narcissists deflect from the real issues at hand.
Shambles
+10000000
Don’t be distracted. The GOP Healthcare bill is the ONLY issue even his deplores hate. Only 12% support. Focus on that, watch news shows covering health care, click on those articles. Let Healthcare trend on twitter and the media will follow.
If all else fails then let’s BLUEXIT.
https://youtu.be/uTNYDCOOvRw
Leave the red states to suffer under the Trump policies they voted for. Us “elites” will take our education and money that funds the Red states. The Democrats need to find their spine too, as best articulated by Dan Savage: https://youtu.be/_ZSlokkddz0
This bluexit ismthe best idea I have heard. AM Joy Reid talked about it today. It is starting to gain traction. We blue states support the red states and they despise us and make laws that take away our rights.
Without blue states’ help, red states will be Ethiopia in 3 years.
I just watched a u tube video of a lady called Naomi Klein talking on Trump and his backers Shock Tactics on Intercept..I just came across it and the theory is the money men behind him will use a crises to put through even more stringent laws and it is so worrying..and logical…
She said watch them it is all to give the wealthy even more tax relief and put out as much of government to their own contacting companies..
Fascinating and Chilling…recommended!
Also, the gold standard for everything we need to know about what we’re up against is Dark Money: The hidden history of the billionaires behind the rise of the Radical Right by Jane Mayer. Blood curdling, but impeccably researched
Agreed, the friday a-block of Rachel´s show was amazing. I leave a link to it — in case someone wants to watch it, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ_f0J8I_W4
Where’s the story about Democrats trying to have him incapacitated as president? There’s a piece on TG yday.
I don’t understand the complaints. As long as his 4-minute-attention-span is focused on TV hosts, he won’t bombard North Korea, betray more secrets to Putin or accomplish anything else. We had better concourage him to play even more golf.
Looking very much forward to the G20 meeting next week – endless possibilities for new embarassments! After what he did to climate change, Macron should this time refuse to shake his hand altogether.
However, since this is all going down in the city centre of Hamburg, wich is famous for violent protests, everyting might well end in total chaos. His approval rating here is 13%!
Trump is using his tweets as a diversion. When people were screaming with him re: MSNBC – the white house quietly put out that he was meeting Putin.
New name:
Unhinged Asshat Bully
In addition to being impeached, jailed, and having all his properties seized, someone should punch him in the mouth.
He is really fu*king unhinged. Like, it’s blatantly obvious.
I love how he’s accusing states of having something to hide because they won’t release that information. From the idiot who won’t release his tax returns.
I would love to see him take on the Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin over this one. Galvin takes orders only from himself and no way will he ever release that information.
Also, another problem with the request, in addition to what is being requested, but how they are being instructed to submit it. They want it sent by unencrypted email. While states will, on occasion, submit highly sensitive material like hospital records complete to the CDC, they must be encrypted.
Unencrypted email? That’s a bizarre request and highly suspicious. Who are they planning to share it with, one has to wonder.
I think what he’s saying about Mika is gross and obviously not becoming but if you lie down with dogs you get fleas. Joe scarborough was chief trump apologist and normalizer during the election. The *only* reason he’s anti trump now is because trump insulted his girlfriend (earlier on the year). Joe has no journalistic integrity…this is all personal.
I’m no Joe S fan but this level of insanity is a shock to people who socialized with him. They weren’t besties or anything. His public face was all that they saw. Who in the world could have predicted he would act like a raving lunatic? He was a Democrat before and never spouted any of this crazy stuff. I mean sure his rep wasn’t great but he was a reality TV person and a caricature. If Joe and Mica had always known this side of him then I would agree with you but they didn’t. No one deserves having their children harassed.
Thank you for saying joe is getting what he deserves. He was one of the biggest 45 apologists, and Mika would sit there and not talk up for Hillary when joe was praising 45 to the highest. For some reason she would not say anything positive about HRC. I remember one morning one of hillary’s campaign advisors went on their show, I believe his name was Robbie Mook and they treated his so disrespectful and practically chased him off the show because he would not put Hillary down for some nonsense they wanted to build up. I always say joe is one of the main reason we have 45 in office now because of all the free favorable press until it went to the left, then it was too late to right the ship. However, 45 has no right to go after Mika the way he’s doing, just shows how small of a man he is. Btw, his MT looks miserable 😭 in almost every photo I see of her. I read how some of the deplorables are praising MT that she is the best First Lady we ever had, I guess the best, if you mean naked photo one we have ever seen, they are right, but when it comes to smart we have to put up Hillary and Michelle at the top imo.
If you watched the show, which I do, Joe has been anti-Trump with legit reasons since the election. Not just because he “insulted” his girlfriend. He’s been calling out other Republicans for months for not stepping up.
Joe also has a super shady event in his past where an intern died under suspicious circumstances at his office back when he was in congress.
Here’s what conspiracy theorist me has been saying since the Clinton email hack. Do we really believe the russians haven’t hacked the republicans? That they were immune to attacks? Or were they hacked and the russians have compromising information that is holding back fellow republicans from attacking the president? And at what point do republicans put country before personal interests?
And I don’t agree with everyone giving donald an out. He’s not mentally ill. That’s just putting an excuse out there so he won’t serve jail time.
I also don’t agree with all the chatter about him being “new” to this and still learning. He spent 8 years criticizing President Obama for every alleged failure President Obama did. If he could armchair quarterback someone else’s presidency, surely to God he’s not “new”.
#nomoreexcuses
The FBI said months ago that both parties were hacked.
I do think he is mentally ill but that doesn’t excuse anything. It makes the people around him even worse since they see him unhinged on a daily basis and do nothing. I have zero sympathies for Tangerine. None. He has ALWAYS been a grifter and a crooked abusive piece of trash.
I bet Flynn had plenty of insider information to get the ball rolling. Usually I am a conspiracy theory skeptic but it is just too obvious to ignore. I don’t even fully believe that the voting machines or rosters weren’t compromised. He was so adamant that if HRC won it would have to be rigged. Why? Because he knew all along all of the things the Russians were doing to make sure he won.
I feel like we have fallen into a poorly written spy novel with trite plots and obvious characters. I mean come on the Russians. For real? Didn’t they do this movie during the Cold War? It is like the Manchurian Candidate except the candidate is orange, has itty bitty hands and lives in a constant state of derangement.
I agree about being careful to label mental illness. A spoiled, egotistical, mean bully who isn’t getting his way can get very testy, at any age. He’s just as likely an emotionally stunted jerk. It’s not like someone who was known to be different and suddenly changed.
A long trail of broken relationships, stiffing people, insults, etc., exist. The stage is just larger now, and the spotlight brighter.
I’d feel more safe if an actual rock was our president. He’s dumber than a rock.
This guy has got to grow some balls and be a real man. A president can’t be so wimpy that he calls everyone names. Did he not realize that everyone in the government gets criticized by the media especially the president? Enough is enough. Get him out
This man….. sheesh! There are no words.
You all seem like nice people. People we would like to have here in CA who resist the hardest. Please consider moving here. Here’s why:
We have an upcoming ballot measure aimed at distancing Californians from whatever hell is going in in Washington DC. It allows a commission to make autonomous decisions by taking out “inseparable” from our constitution. It’s not a complete break from the US, but allows CA residents to enjoy a relative peace from DC politics that inflicts harm on other states. As the nation’s largest contributor of food (1/4), economy (1/4) and employment in burgeoning industries of tech, wine-making, and alternative fuel sources, there’s plenty for fine people like yourselves to do.
Despite some expensive housing costs (especially along the coasts), we would love to have you!
Ha, Eric one of my best friends just left CA after almost 30 years for my town. He’s definitely second guessing his decision to leave now.
Esmom.
That’s a shame. Come on over. We have beaches, skiing, hottest desert west of the Sahara, and beautiful people in every shade!
Eric, I know, it’s beautiful. I have visited many times, primarily in the Bay Area but also other points north and south and even Death Valley. We also have relatives in WA state. Every time we visit the west coast my kids ask “why don’t we live here?” If only it was easy to just pack up and go!
WA state is kick-ass too, as well select areas of Oregon. We have alt-right idiots up and down the West Coast, mind you.
But our synthesis of cuisines rocks!
I’ve heard that the cost of living in CA (not just housing) is extremely, extremely high. I’m sure it is lovely if you qualify for a great job, but CA has plenty of crime and poverty, the haves and have nots.
I don’t think Eric is saying California is the promised land where all your problems go away. His point is about escaping an insane authoritarian leader who wants the poor to deliberately be without education, healthcare or hope. A government tied to a fundamental religious group who wants to force the entire nation to follow their antiquated rules, women to be owned again by men folk and LGBTQ citizens to hide.
Everyday people leave their middle class lifestyle to escape governments like this and instead immigrate to the US living in one room apartments. It’s one of the hardest things to be forced to do but for many, freedom from a dictatorship is worth it.
Yes Eric, the Bluexit where all the costal blue states that support the entire country separate and combine their economical might. I’m here for it!!!
The Red states can then become a theocracy, an anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ society. And yeah, they can’t watch the movies or TV shows we make either, LOL.
Eric, I know California is a good place to be right now, but I moved from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas, 12 years ago because the cost of living was so high for me. Housing was ghastly. I sold my house at a profit and tried to find something affordable in Calif, Oregon, or my home state, Washington. I couldn’t afford even a tool shed! Canada was expensive too. Austin is a cool, creative, laid-back city, but we’re still in Texas with its horrific laws and vile politicians.
“War on women who won’t succumb to his charms” Brilliant! You can add men to that explanation too.
Because that’s what I think fuels his crazed outbursts. baby fists has the emotional makeup of a terrorist, his rage is at the same pitch as those people who stab others with knives and plow a van into group of people.
No one can stop him, that is apparent. His vanity project to get a list of voters’ constitutionally protected information is to create a narrative that he did have the popular vote. And for Republicans to get retribution against us somehow. Pence is a monster too.
I think impeachment is in order. I also think Mueller is gettin closer to piecing together all the irrefutable evidence that shows baby fists and posse colluded with Russia’s hacking.
God help us. baby fists is a monster.
Did you see the stuff Donny Deutsch said about him on Morning Joe. And yet he didn’t clap back at him,
But he is still coming for Mika. Why is that you may ask? He his a bully and thinks women will cower down. Joe S.. even said as much. That if he (Joe) said something negative about DUMPSTER and Mika agreed or such Trump would always come after her and not him.
Putin is going to eat him for dinner.. and since he has so much ass on him Putin will feast well.
You are right. He holds an escalated brand of hatred for any woman who dares to be disrespectful.
The only way we are going to end this is for the Democrats to take over the house. They will investigate him and that will drive him over the edge. So sadly 2018 will be the only way. And again we can complain but the GOP is doing nothing whatsoever. They don’t care. They just want to be in charge. And that is it. Trump doesn’t care one ounce for America. The whole Morning Joe/CNN is all because they are calling him out. He spends his time watching the shows that criticize him. He is obsessed. Completely obsessed about any negativity. His skin is as thin as tissue paper/thinner and he hates that CNN post stories that show who he is. So he spends 24/7 trying to discredit them. Problem is they and all outlets should have been doing this from the start.
Of course he is still tweeting about Mika and Joe. There were no consequences for his actions. The GOP said that Trump needed to stop posting, but what did they do beyond that? As long as the GOP and the WH reporters continue to cater to Trump, he isn’t going to stop.
On Joy Reid, someone suggested that one of the problems is that the press and WH reporters are too soft on Trump and that they need to stand together as a collective unit(stop trying compete with one another) and just boycott the WH and Trump. Trump calls them fake news and has targeted Katy Tur, Mika, Joe, and many others and what do they do? They go back to the WH. If they stood as a collective unit and just flat out refused to do any press on Trump, then Trum will stop the verbal attacks.
It would also be helpful if Twitter banned Trump. He is the president of the United States, why is he being allowed to use twitter as a bully pulpit? This isn’t right. Trump is going to keep posting tweets like this because no one, including twitter, is willing to stop him and hold him accountable. Enough is enough. Trump is using twitter to bully and his accounts need to be banned.
The biggest mistake that CNN did was firing people to appease Trump and now they are being verbally attacked by Trump. They deserve to be called fake news because when one of their reporters called Trump out for the awful things he said to the mayor of London, they fired him. Now is not the time to bow down to Trump. It’s like CNN is taking a page out of 1984.
You also have to wonder if Jared is fueling Trump’s tweets about Mika and Joe.
As Trump’s meeting with Putin gets closer and closer, it seems that Trump becomes more and more unhinged. He is in meltdown mode.
As for Trump’s Voter Suppression Commission(as many commentators have pointed out just about everyone on that commission has a history of creating laws to reduced voter turnout), when are the press going to say enough is enough? This should have been a major issue during the special election in Georgia because just like Kobach, Karen Handel has a history of creating laws for prevent certain people from voting. As many have pointed out, during the 2016 election we were told that Trump won due to low voter turnout, but in many of the states that Trump won, there was a lot of voter suppression.
Remember how “experts” kept saying that there was no evidence that the voter machines were hacked by the Russians? As it turns out, those “experts” never actually went and examined the voting machines and they don’t ever plan on doing so.
The press needs to take a stand because after Trump meets with Putin, Putin is going to be the president of our country.
His new CNN Tweet is on a whole other level. JFC.
It is like he’s going through puberty all over again.
I hope everyone saw Buzz Aldrin’s expressions while DumbAsARock-in-Chief was signing an E.O. We all need to stand together and say, “I am Buzz Aldrin,” “No, I am Buzz Aldrin,” and on and on.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4658836/Hilarious-moment-Buzz-Aldrin-gives-Trump-baffled-look.html
Every day since the election has been a nightmare.
When is enough going to be enough? The best way to stop Trump is for twitter to ban his account and for all of the members of the WH reporters , including Kristen Welker, Kelly Odonnell, Peter Alexander, Pete Williams, Robert Costa, and Hailee Jackson to completely boycott Spicer and Sarah’s press briefings. Melania’s campaign was cyberbullying, so what message is twitter sending and supporting by allowing Trump to use his accounts to constantly bully, harass, incite violence and lie about others?
Trump makes 5-6 posts calling CNN fake news, but then spreads fake news by posting that:
Morning Joe has low ratings. It’s been reported by several articles that MJ ratings have increased since last year. With Rachel Maddow being ranked at #1 and MSNBC being ranked 2nd to Fox.
Greta was fired because she wouldn’t trash talk Trump. Greta was fired because her show had low ratings because viewers changed the channel right after MTP went off.
States are hiding something because they refuse to hand over voter information to the Voter Suppression Commission and Kobach using an website that isn’t even stable or safe.
He is winning.
Using twitter to bully people and spread lies about people means that he is a modern day president.
The Voter Suppression Commission is very distinguished(just about everyone on that commission have a history of implementing laws to prevent certain groups of people from voting).
The media has somehow brainwashed all of those GOP members who said that Trump needs to stop tweeting.
Any press who doesn’t present him in a positive light is fake news.
Mika and Joe are saying negative things about him because they are following the orders of the NBC producers, which is crazy because isn’t Trump still the producer of The Celebrity Apprentice, which is on NBC?.
Photoshops and then posts a video of himself beating up CNN. This is all CNNs fault. They decided that catering to and appeasing Trump was more important by first firing Reza A.
He STILL doesn’t get that he wasn’t elected, he was APPOINTED by the electoral college. Hillary is the REAL president by 3 million votes. I hope this shithead gets assassinated soon.
No. No assassination talk, I don’t care how much you can’t stand him.
We don’t want him martyred.
This. He needs to live out the rest of his days in disgrace, exposed as the stupid conman he is, and knowing acutely just how despised he is. I hope his supporters eventually realize that he doesn’t give two f*cks about him and join in the chorus of condemnation.
POTUS has turned the presidency into a gong show. As a Canadian I can only feel “fremdschämen”, a great German word that means to be embarrassed because someone else has embarrassed himself, only he’s embarrassed the whole country. Every last level-headed Republican must rise up in concert against this evil, horrible, depraved person and his equally despicable team before their party is tarnished forever. The world won’t forget what has been perpetrated against America and Americans in the name of greed, misogyny and hatred.
Jaded: I love that you used “fremdschämen” – I use it regularly. It’s a fabulous word!
I’ve said it before, but thank you all again for the informative comments you make on Celebitchy. We only get the “main” points of this debacle down here, usually condensed into 30-second snippets. It’s enlightening to hear what real people living this nightmare are feeling and thinking, and to get your insights on what’s really going on.
Have you noticed how some stories aren’t being covered?
Why isn’t anyone reporting on Devin Nunes and his numerous attempts to hijack the HIC investigation? There were reports that he went rogue and started his own investigation into unmasking and sending subpeonas to Susan Rice, Brennan, and another woman without consulting the democrats. He also went on a radio station and said that he never recused himself from the Trump Russian investigation. Whatever happened to the investigation that the Ethics Committee were conducting against Nunes? What happened to ethics complaints that had been filed against him recently? Why was Devin Nunes allowed to go around and claim that the Democrats made up the Trump Russian collusion(the same thing that Trump and Putin said) because they lost while claiming that he is still heading the HIC Trump Russian investigation?
One night the WH put out a report stating that they had information from a source that said that Assad and Syria were going to conduct another chemical attack and then they threatened to take action against Assad and Syria. It was reported that Trump and the WH didn’t consult any intel when they made this statement. Instead of being the adults, Niki H and McMaster made excuses for Trump. By the end of the next day the media had completely dropped the story and stopped focusing on where the WH got the information that Assad was going to launch another chemical attack.
Tom Price being investigated for approving policies that would help his stock in medical companies do well.
For a week some reporters pointed out Trump’s tweet and speech asking Russia to hack Hillary’s emails, but after Spicer said that it was just a joke, the press stopped talking about it.
Trump’s lie about being wiretapped by Obama and then how he used Devin Nunes, NSA, and 3 WH staffers to reverse engineer support for his lie.
The EO that Trump has been signing behind closed doors. He is dismantling everything. Education. Environment. Civil Rights. Heath. Equal Pay for women. Bank regulations. CFPB.
Fox News having to retract a false story that Sean H was peddling.
Voter Suppression in many of the states that Trump “won”. It’s being passed off as low voter turnout.
2 reporters in China who disappeared after they went undercover and exposed Ivanka’s businesses in China.
It is much easier and it creates more click bait if media publishes everything about Trump’s social media antics or Ivanka’s new dress or whatever little things they can come up with.
But publishing “complicated” stories is much more work for journalists and it is more difficult to attract attention to them.
Link some good articles to counter the trend.
So he tweeted out bashing Comcast earlier. Talk about frustrating! Comcast employs 185k people in the US, pays a living wage, offers amazing healthcare and benefits including 401K match, is constantly revamping their benefits (this year they ramped up to twelve weeks paid maternal/paternal benefits), is growing, and their stock has been on fire in the last ten years. This is the kind of company Bigly should be praising, instead of fricking COAL-but because Comcast owns NBC, it’s the enemy. I was SO pissed to see that. Bashing Fortune 50 Companies for your personal issues is pathetic.
(I know, Comcast has problems, but they can be an amazing employer.)
We have a dysfunctional situation right now. I lost count of how many times I saw C N N running a tweet headline during the day on Thursday and Friday. Was that the most important story of the entire day? It’s ridiculous, beyond the tantrum tweeting.
I hope the print media are still digging into the more substantial stories, while most TV airtime sounds like a junior-high talking heads soap opera. There are only so many times and ways to say, “He tweeted that? He’s so mean!” Yet that’s filled up airtime for four straight days.
Yeah, I’m tired of reports on the latest tweets. Let’s dig deep & get some real news.
CNN, MSNBC, are cable news, they have to fill up air time so they will run the same story until something else comes along. If 45 is going to act a fool, they are going to play it on the loop all day. If we don’t want loop news, we have CBS , NBC, ABC, ect. When the cable news was giving 45 coverage all day, 24/7 he did not complain. He boasted that he received billion dollars of free news that he did not pay for. Now they don’t think he’s so funny and is covering him with real news he’s calling them fake news and liars. Btw, they and VPutin helped created this monster, let’s see what they are going to do about it.
There is a part of me that wants to pull up a chair with a drink and some popcorn and just watch this mess unfold. But on the other hand, I feel that I would get a sunburn thanks to the nuke that will surely hit the U.S. because of this child who is elected President.
First ever comment here– after years of checking this site daily, I felt moved to hop onto the comments thread and just let all you ladies know that you are the reason I still feel sane in this madhouse of a current country!
Thanks for finally commenting! 😊
I originally came to this site for the celebrity gossip. Now I come here everyday to find comfort and vent my frustrations over what is happening to our country. I truly hope we find our way to the other side of this madness. These are scary times.
I do the same but I am an opinionated big mouth so I can’t resist ranting. lol My grammar goes out of the window, I can hardly edit because he riles me on a daily basis with this insanity.
I am glad you decided to post. Don’t hesitate if it gets to be too much otherwise you may just combust from pent up frustration.
The house passed a law known as Kate’s Law, which increases the punishment for illegal aliens who were trying to get into the US after being deported. The crazy thing is that democrats voted for this law. This is why Trump does the things he does. There are absolutely no consequences for his actions and the GOP and Democrats are supporting his the hate rhetoric from his campaign speeches. It’s crazy how Trump is worried about crimes committed by illegal immigrants when he isn’t at all concerned about the crimes that are being committed by people like Jeremy Joseph Christian(stabbed 3 men who were defending 2 Muslim teens against JJC attacks ) and David Desper(who shot 18 yo Bianca R in the head).
baby fists is evil and a coward. The 2018 elections is our first hope but will be daunting for voters.
I’m struggling with the reality that Indiana’s Democratic senator Joe Donnelly has been a rubber stamp for the Republican agenda. Donnelly voted for Kate’s Law as well as the ultra conservative Neil Gorsuch as a Supreme Court justice. When the Republicans need a Den, Joe is their weak minded go to man. I’ve sent Donnelly emails and phone calls protesting his rubber stamping the Republican agenda. Meanwhile he has ads bragging he’s for veterans (who isn’t?) and now will “fight” for health care.
Indiana will never have a courageous, charismatic senator like Kamala Harris or Angus King. Our other senator is Republican, a horrible coward and liar who refuses to respond to emails and hides out from his constituents. He is simply sucking his thumb while forlock tugging to McConnell.
So what should we do? Donnelly is now emailing for donations because the big Republican money is flooding our state to take him on. Donnelly disgusts me because he is a Republican in reality. But will we get someone worse? He doesn’t care about decency until it’s time to ask for money. At least our state is claiming to refuse handing over voter data.
I was in an abusive relationship and the tactics that my ex used to use are similar to those that this jerk maniac uses.
Deflect: Nothing is ever about him, always turn it on to someone else
Gaslight: deny, distort reality and the past
Bully: name-calling, insulting, and insulting peoples’ characters
Control: need for absolute authority
Lack of empathy
Complete and utter inability to apologize
Extreme jealousy, insecurity
I am sorry you experienced that. I hope you are in a better place now. That was insightful what you wrote. I never thought of it like that but it would explain this helpless angry feeling I have since he has been elected. He keeps crossing line after line and our country suffers. His enablers make a bunch of excuses just like an abuser does. They always claim it was because the victim provoked them so they deserved to be beaten. He does the same thing and his followers support this.
……undeserved expectations of “respect”……
Trump’s media antics seem to work because otherwise he wouldn’t do it any more or he wouldn’t be president any more.
Remember B.Clinton who got dragged through the mud for having fun with a white house intern?
And now Trump is openly and publicly mysogynistic and racist and a few other things and nobody files a suit againt him. He doesn’t even get fined with a criminal offense bill. If ordinary citizens said the things Trump publishes via soical media they would get fined or even arrested.
What does that tell me about the USA and about US citizens?
