Last week Donny had a few doozeys when he opened his mouth….there was the threat of hanging anyone that disobeyed him, his infamous ‘piggy’ comment….just to mention a few….
After Dems released a video telling generals not to obey his orders he went ballistic….
President Trump is steaming mad over a video made by six Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of “seditious behavior” that is “punishable by death.” The details:
- The video: The Democratic video is addressed to US troops and members of the intelligence community, and it encourages them to “refuse illegal orders” to go after “American citizens,” reports Politico. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution,” they say. “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear—you can refuse illegal orders.”
- The six: Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Reps. Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Chris Deluzio are in the video. All are either military vets or worked in national security roles. The lawmakers did not specify which orders they deem to be illegal.
- Trump: “Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL” the president wrote in a series of Truth Social posts on Thursday. “Their words cannot be allowed to stand—We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.” Another: “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL,” per Newsweek.
- Death? In the most stark post, Trump declared: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” He also reposted several slams of the Democrats, including one reading, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!”
- Justice Department: On Wednesday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department would take a “very close look” at the video, describing it as a “disgusting and inappropriate display of supposed leadership from the Democrat Party,” per CNN.
Good old ‘hanging ’em high’ Donny.
Then he changes course and says he was not threatening the Dems…..
President Trump spoke to Fox News on Friday and clarified his assertion that Democrats who directed a video to service members committed a crime “punishable by death.” The president told Brian Kilmeade that he is not calling for the execution of lawmakers, as some of his critics have said.
- “I’m not threatening death,” said Trump, per the Guardian. “But I think they’re in serious trouble,” he added.
- Trump said Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were looking into the video, in which the Democrats told service members they could “refuse illegal orders. “They’re looking into it militarily,” said Trump. “I don’t know for a fact, but I think the military is looking into it, the military courts.”
- Trump said his original comments were meant to point out that “in the old days, if you said a thing like that, that was punishable by death.” He also complained that “it’s a meeker, milder world” these days. “These are people that, in my opinion, broke the law. Now what happens to them, I can’t tell you.”
I love the way he can never get the story straight…..on anything.
Then there was his disgusting insult to a Bloomberg reporter….but what was more disgusting was the whitewash job they tried to lay on….
The White House is defending President Trump’s latest verbal attack on a female journalist, arguing that his bluntness is part of what voters want. In a Thursday briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump’s “frankness” is why he won a second term, after he called Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey “piggy” aboard Air Force One last Friday, the Washington Post reports. “The president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You’ve all seen it yourself. You’ve all experienced it yourselves,” Leavitt told reporters. “And I think it’s one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this president, because of his frankness.”
- “He calls out fake news when he sees it and gets frustrated with reporters who spread false information,” Leavitt said. “But he also provides unprecedented access to the press and answers questions on a near-daily basis.” Reuters notes she didn’t cite any evidence of false information being reported.
“Quiet. Quiet, piggy,” Trump snapped when Lucey asked him about the DOJ’s files on Jeffrey Epstein. The incident has drawn criticism from press advocates and renewed concerns about Trump’s treatment of journalists. “Our White House journalists perform a vital public service, asking questions without fear or favor,” a Bloomberg News spokesperson told the Post this week. “We remain focused on reporting issues of public interest fairly and accurately.”
- Trump escalated his attacks on the media this week, targeting ABC News’ Mary Bruce at a White House event with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump called Bruce a “terrible person and a terrible reporter,” labeled her network “fake news,” and urged FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to revoke ABC’s broadcast licenses after Bruce asked Trump and bin Salman about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and asked Trump about the Epstein files.
- Trump has a long history of lashing out at journalists who question him, particularly women. The Post notes that during his 2016 campaign he said Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever” when she questioned him during a debate.
- “These incidents are not isolated; they are part of an unmistakable pattern of hostility—often directed at women—that undermines the essential role of a free and independent press,” the Society of Professional Journalists said in a statement Wednesday.
- Trump “very much directs his ire at women, and usually women journalists of color,” Elisa Lees Muñoz, executive director of the International Women’s Media Foundation, tells CBC News. “With the obvious intention of shutting them up. Shutting them up on the spot,” Muñoz said. “It’s a well-known playbook. It’s meant to incite. And it’s meant to send a message to everyone around these women: Next time it’s going to be you.”
(I think Donny has a type…..fake blondes)
Just a typical disgusting and pathetic attempt at bullying….and anyone who thinks that was appropriate is as disgusting and pathetic as our so-called leader.
And That Was The Week That Was…..and as usual…..Be Well and Be Safe….
I Read, I Write, You KNow
“lego ergo scribo”
On the international front and Donny warped mental reasoning….
Donald Trump appears to have once again risked triggering an international incident, as he casually hinted at being open to sending military strikes to Mexico and Colombia to combat drugs coming into the United States.
The US president made the controversial statements on Monday (November 17) during a press conference with FIFA President Gianni Infantino ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
“Would I launch strikes on Mexico to stop drugs? It’s OK with me. Whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is… look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there,” Trump began.
“If we had to would we do there what we’ve done to the waterways? You know there is almost no drugs coming through our waterways anymore. Isn’t it down like 85 percent?”
This idiot has NO concept of international detente.
The Trump family loses their pocket change with crypto slide….
Trump Media & Technology Group, the crypto and social media company controlled by members of the first family, has seen its stock price plummet to all-time lows — wiping out more than $5 billion in wealth for the Trumps as cryptocurrencies continue their slide.
Shares of Trump Media, which trades under the ticker DJT, have fallen nearly 70% this year — 34.6% of that just the past month, according to Barron’s.
The stock was down around 1% at $10.76 in early morning trading on Wednesday, a day after it hit an intraday low of $10.32 — the lowest level since fall 2021, the publication noted.
President Trump indirectly owns around 115 million shares of the company, Barron’s reported.
The stock is being held in a trust controlled by his son, Don Jr., who sits on the board.
Not to worry they will figure out a way to steal few billion in return.
The Sh*t Show is just not for Donny and the morons…..the Dems are just as useless….
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning socialism Friday morning, with several Democrats crossing the aisle to rebuke “socialist policies” in the U.S. following Zohran Mamdani’s recent election as the mayor-elect of New York City.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure in a 285-98 vote. Two members, Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Pa., and Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., voted present.
Notably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. — who endorsed Mamdani just days before the mayoral election — also voted in favor of the measure.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., highlights a list of the economic system’s failures and serves as a rebuke of political forces inching toward more socialist platforms. Among other items, it asserts that socialism has led to famine and mass murder under the Cuban Castro regime, the Chinese rule of Mao Zedong, the ongoing Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and others.
“Resolved by the House of Representatives that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States,” the text reads.

What a pack of worthless spineless thugs…..this vote was a waste of time and energy it does nothing to correct all the problems this country is having. Dems are afraid any hint of socialism will effect their cash cow and that is what is important not the starving children….I am so proud of these slugs.
That ‘famous’ meeting…..after months of sniping at each other what has happened?
With the cameras rolling, the nation’s MAGA president and its largest city’s democratic socialist mayor-elect expressed at least momentary detente on Friday after meeting at the White House—pausing the trading of public insults that has gone on for months. “I feel very confident that he can do a good job,” President Trump said in a joint appearance in the Oval Office, per the New York Times. “It was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers,” Zohran Mamdani said, per USA Today.
It wasn’t always like this. While Mamdani was running for mayor of New York City, he and Trump spoke about each other using such endearments as “communist lunatic,” “stupid person,” “despot,” and “fascist,” per the Washington Post. Mamdani even ripped Trump in his victory speech earlier this month. But when a reporter asked Mamdani on Friday about the “despot” accusation, Trump came to his rescue, saying he’d been called worse, per the Wall Street Journal. “That’s OK. You can just say ‘yes,'” Trump said, tapping him on the arm. “It’s easier than explaining it. I don’t mind.”
The two stayed away from areas of disagreement in their public comments. The warmth also could reflect Trump’s awareness of Mamdani’s success campaigning on economic policies intended to help the working class, as well as Mamdani’s recognition that some number of his voters had cast their ballots for Trump, per the Post. The Queens natives expressed consensus on ending wars, reducing the cost of living, and getting “Con Edison to start lowering their rates,” as Trump said. “We agree on a lot more than I thought,” the president said. “I expect to be helping him, not hurting him.”
Making nice worries me.
