Absolutely False

Absolutely False
In a statement sent to Newsweek on Tuesday, Trump campaign adviser Alex Pfeiffer said: "This is absolutely false. President Trump never said this."


On October 7, 2016, one month before the 2016 Presidential election, the Washington Post dropped the so called "access Hollywood tape" as a way of interfering in the 2016 election. Ever since then the democrat party has made bullshit bombshell revelations a standard part of their playbook.

We all knew they were going to try something with two weeks to go and Kamala failing. First came John Kelly, who served as the White House chief of staff during Donald Trump’s presidency, to defame him just before election day. The last time he tried it was just before the 2020 election with his "losers & suckers" claim which only he supposedly heard. That time it took him a while to put his name on the claim, this time he was all in. A retired 4-star Marine Corps General comparing the former President to Hitler. I refuse to judge Marines and normally I would defer to a Marine member, but I am told he was sandbagged, so I will leave the issue of a military officer smearing a former US President on the eve of elections to others.

Here is the claim that was released the other day:

"On Tuesday, The Atlantic published    an article alleging that while serving as president, Trump once told Kelly: "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders."

The account was attributed to "two people who heard him say this" and cited Kelly, Trump's White House chief of staff from 2017 to 2019, who said the then-president expressed admiration for the loyalty of "Hitler's generals."

In a statement sent to   Newsweek   on Tuesday, Trump campaign adviser Alex Pfeiffer said: "This is absolutely false. President Trump never said this."

Was General John Kelly Fired by Donald Trump? Timeline of the Relationship - Newsweek

 In the midst of this story and the one to follow is Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic.

He was also the one who forwarded the claim that President Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, because “his hair would become disheveled in the rain” and that “he did not believe it important to honor American war dead.” Does anyone remember how many people denied that?


Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief for The Atlantic, eventually confessed that the central claim in his publication’s reprehensible hit piece on the President could very well be false.

Atlantic Editor Admits A Key Claim In Trump Hit Piece Could Be Wrong - The Political Insider


Next came the latest Goldberg hit piece with yet another unnamed source claiming that Trump used foul language about the funeral cost of a dead Ft Hood victim 4 years ago. In April 2020, Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood, in Texas. The family of the victim denounced the legitimacy of the story. The sister of the victim, Mayra Guillen said she voted for Trump. The unsubstantiated story led the CBS news last night. The Atlantic is standing by the story (at least until after the election.)

The dirty tricks and last-minute election interference is not limited to the Harris campaign & the media. Here I have been called "partisan" repeatedly. The CBS refusal to publish the full text of the Kamal Harris interview was blatantly lied about. We even had one member tell another to stay off the daily article in the hopes it might eventually slip off the front page.

These next two weeks will be like living next to a manure factory with an unending production of anti-Trump shit.




In the news:



Israel bombed the ancient port city of Tyre in Lebanon.

The U.S. said Wednesday that 3,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia and are training at several locations, calling the move very serious and warning that those forces will be “fair game” if they go into combat in Ukraine.

Louisiana is suing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and various agencies after an illegal Chinese immigrant may have exposed hundreds of people in the state to a rare, drug-resistant form of Tuberculosis.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has played down the significance of alleged interference by the Labour Party in the US presidential election. The Trump campaign has   filed a complaint   with the Federal Election Commission in Washington seeking an immediate investigation into alleged "blatant foreign interference".

Liberal Party lawmakers in Canada are urging their leader, Justin Trudeau to step down as Prime Minister. They worry his unpopularity could hurt them in the next election.

Good morning

Prediction from James Carville:

AA1sNq9m.img?w=768&h=512&m=6&x=1108&y=350&s=565&d=565

T he polls may be showing a  dead heat , but one man says he’s “certain” of the 2024 election’s outcome:  Kamala Harris  will win, predicts  James Carville , the longtime Democratic strategist. In an op-ed for  The New York Times , Carville lays out the three reasons why he believes this:

One, ”[ Donald] Trump  is a repeat electoral loser,“ he writes, and his presidency set the Republican Party on a similar course; Harris, by contrast, has managed to whip up comparable enthusiasm in just three months of campaigning.

Two, Harris has  vastly outraised  Trump, even with the  $75 million donation
 the latter just received from his billionaire sidekick.

Three, Carville simply has a feeling Harris will win, in part because she has aisle-bridging power that her opponent lacks. “If the Cheneys and AOC get that the Constitution and our democracy are on the ballot, every true conservative and every true progressive should get it too.” 

‘I’m Certain’: James Carville Makes Bold Election Prediction

In other words, the voting public will be easily fooled.

Because you cannot turn a country on a dime.  Trump started the momentum, Biden had to deal with that before positive numbers started.

It was developed about a week after the 2020 election. Trump had 2 months to go, and Biden and Harris were poisoning the well on the new vaccine saying they didn't trust it. They quickly changed course two months later. You still have no explanation as to why there were more deaths under Biden.

The voters were smart enough to reject Hillary Clinton in 2016.  And she was the most qualified candidate in the history of the world, so we were told.  

What happens if the 2024 election becomes a referendum on the two political parties?  It certainly looks like the voting public could be on the verge of rejecting the Democratic Party.  The voting public seems ready to embrace a new and renewed Republican Party.

"On Tuesday, The   Atlantic published       an article   alleging that while serving as president, Trump once told Kelly: "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders."

Sister Of Deceased Soldier Blasts The Atlantic For Latest Anti-Trump Fabrications

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left propaganda outlet The Atlantic, published an   article   Tuesday with glaring fabrications about former President Donald Trump’s interactions with the families of fallen service members and his outlook on military leadership.

Goldberg’s dishonest hit piece is the latest in a   long line of far-left outlets lying and deceiving the American people   before a major election.

Mayra Guillén, the sister of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillén, whose family was featured as proof in Goldberg’s piece, slammed the outlet and Goldberg for exploiting her sister’s death.

“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics — hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra   stated . “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

The logic behind the seeded article is, well, non-existent. 

Kelly first made these claims in 2020 appx two years after he left the chief of staffs job , two years during Trump was president and nothing Kelly might say would have much meaning. As the 2020 election loomed , and something might be important to know about candidate trump Kelly spoke out to Jefferey Goldberg. At the time the Trumpsters totally blamed Goldberg saying he made up the whole thing, because at the time Kellys name was not used in the story. 

Turns out that Kelly is now putting his name and voice on it. 

So what is left for the right to do?  Call Kelly a liar now , and throw Goldberg in there too.  Conservatives in the public eye spent yesterday humiliating themselves, between calling Kelly a liar to the absurd Fox and Friends lackey who said maybe Trump didnt realize the German generals under Hitler were nazis.  Another total fool, the governor of Connecticut said who cares this sort of thing is baked in with Trump as if that is an excuse. 

There is a rather long history of Trump disparaging the military, with a number of instances that far exceeds what Kelly says. 

The event in question was a   family leadership summit in Ames, Iowa,   on July 18, 2015. Here’s the full   video , with the remarks in question coming at about the 5:10 mark.

After Trump recalled McCain saying something that Trump considered an insult to him and his supporters, "I said, 'Somebody should run against McCain,' who has been, in my opinion, not so hot. And I supported him for president! I raised a million dollars for him. That's a lot of money! I supported him. He lost. He let us down. But he lost. So I never liked him much after that, because I don't like losers."

Amid audience laughter, the moderator, Republican pollster Frank Luntz, then interjected, "But he's a war hero!"

Trump responded, "He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured."

Later that day, Trump   retweeted , with seeming approval, a web post headlined "Donald Trump: John McCain Is ‘A Loser,’" that recapped his exchange at the summit.

Trump, the then-president, dismissed the importance of the injuries to his own country’s troops — he called them little more than “ headaches ” — prompting the Veterans of Foreign Wars to ask the Republican  to apologize for minimizing  the service members’ injuries. Trump ignored the request.

Nearly four years later, he did it again. The   Washington Post reported :

Former president Donald Trump once again downplayed the traumatic brain injuries suffered by American soldiers in an Iranian missile strike on an air base in Iraq in 2020, describing them as “a headache,” in response to a question at a campaign event in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

As difficult as this was to believe, five weeks before Election Day, the Republican Party’s presidential nominee downplayed the importance of American troops who had traumatic brain injuries in response to an Iranian missile attack. Trump did this out loud, on camera, on purpose, and on the record.

So Trump has the maturity of a 5 year old?

As long as those people were fellow millionaire/billionaires and not servicemen (suckers and losers).

He rebuilt the military.

It is plainly obvious that Trump hates the military.  When young Don Jr. told him he was thinking about joining, Trump let him know that he would be disowned.  To Trump, the military is nothing but expendable dead weight that serves as an otherwise useless speed bump for the enemy.  I’m sure it pained him to know that political expedience required throwing money at the military that could be “better served” as a tax cut for billionaires.

How soon they forget:

Harris and her supporters aren't talking about the fact that years ago, when Kelly was serving in various roles under the Trump Administration, Democrats frequently criticized the retired general for faithfully implementing tough immigration policies and raised ethics concerns when he joined a company with federal contracts to detain migrants after his government role.

“General Kelly is a hypocrite who is a disgrace to the uniform he used to wear,” then-Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez  said of Kelly  when Trump announced the DACA immigration program would expire.  The Washington Post  pilloried Kelly, saying he "calls Robert E. Lee an ‘honorable man’ and said ‘lack of compromise’ caused the Civil War. 

"Indecent. Immoral. Corrupt," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D.-Ore.,  tweeted after Kelly joined a for-profit parent company  whose subsidiary has federal contracts to detain migrants at centers. 

Even  Harris herself, then a California senator, sharply criticized Kelly during the Trump Administration over his testimony to the Senate Homeland Security Committee, saying he has an “inability to speak truth to power to this administration” and lacked a “grasp of the implications of the policy perspectives he was supporting.” 

Kelly drew ire from the Democrats throughout his stint as Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security even after he was confirmed by a bipartisan Senate majority. Many Democrats developed buyers remorse after the new secretary moved to strictly enforce the new administration’s immigration policy. 

For example, his agency increased arrests of immigrants without a criminal background even though he had publicly declared he would prioritize those who had committed crimes for removal from the country. 

“I think Secretary Kelly has drank the Kool-Aid,” now-disgraced Sen. Robert Menendez, the Democrat from New Jersey,  told Politico in 2017 . “He’s not the person who I thought I was voting for.”

“The role, the mission of the agency is a very important one, which I support 1,000 percent,” then-Senator Harris said. “But when it comes to transparency and a clear guidance around what the [immigration] enforcement priorities will be at the agency, I have real questions and real concerns.”

He also drew fire from Democrats for defending Donald Trump’s so-called “Muslim ban,” an executive order restricting entry into the United States by foreign nationals from Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen.

These are the same ones that will vote for her for really stupid reasons like "She's not Trump".  These are the same people who told us over an over again there is nothing wrong with Biden's diminished mental capacities and the inflation was a good thing.

what was it, 41 people or so, from 45’s first administration that are claiming Trump should Not again be potus. 

Why do you suppose that is ?

Coincidence??

Cause perhaps these people, who were THERE, could see Trump Does Not Care about anything or one, except the Golden(shower)Won not the 2020 election,yet stated to this very day, that Biden stole the election, when it was Won by Biden by several million more votes than Trump, the biggest Lying Loser this country ever had run for office. 

.

Insults Gold Star Parents, the handicapped, live veterans, POW’s, dead veterans, and about everyone in between and to every extreme, as Trump does not care about you or any of his supporters, he is only in this race to save himself from the disgrace he was last time, and to hopefully save face manipulating facts and elections to influence ignorant persons about their perceptions that have been by design distorted, and when first hand witnesses come forward stating what they witnessed, their now making it all up cause their disgruntled and Trump was on their short list, so now they’re all pist, at persons Trump claimed were all the best and the brightest, but since they dare speak of that which they saw first hand, they must be the slightest slighting Trump as so many have done band together and stated, and the cult following that he created, can’t be brought to admit what this giant mental midget that incessantly LIES as he gives them all a rigid middle digit in their analog world of make believe again eyes , the presidency that he makes inn

  You know this world, the place where one of the favorite sources for Trumps’ LIESpushed, asz shoved “right’ asz in up their tush, where Fox “news” toilet spins shit from down the drain directly into their brain, was sued for promoting LIES, lies that led to so many believing the lying deceiving Trumps Lie, that the election was stolen from him. Well, can anyone please explain how Fox “news” has to pay $787,000,000.00 MILLION FRCKN DOLLARS for promoting Trump originated LIES, and most everyone around this “victim” usually winds up in jail, or in need of bail, must resign, or get disbarred, cause it is just too much how so many excuses have been made for one giant POS, who is always taken the wrong way, needs deciphered , or just lies right before the eyes of peep holes who heartily defend this fckn joke, till the day that he is finished, and they’ll continue beyond his death, cause It is the supporters of this deviated supporter created abysmal political abrogation, that continues to be the greatest draw on this once great nation…………

a whole lot more than a coincidence, thus a correlation could be the sourced sensation, but come on now, do their claims not be consistent with the liar persistent who is deserved of an ovation, for he leaves US All scratching our heads, as his head and shoulders performance could straighten out Dreds, locked away like his true heir apparent, cause Trump sure could use some guidance and oversight, for his a/both apparent, obviously weren’t right
