From last night’s Oscars:
Trump posts on his social media page, which Kimmel read aloud: “Here’s something I just got on my phone. Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
To which Kimmel, hosting the Academy Awards, for the fourth time. responds, “Ok now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still – isn’t it past your jail time?” Prompting cheers and laughs from the audience.
Obviously, it’s Trump’s nature to be combative with his political enemies; in fact, I think it’s fair to say that he’s powerless to do otherwise, regardless of the consequences. This is why he’s still defaming E. Jean Carroll, even as the size of the judgement against him continues to rise.
I guess he’s thinking that this compulsive/obsessive behavior has always world for him in the past. That’s true, and Trump has tens of millions of supports for this and his other neuroses.
Trump’s Strategy of Constant Attack Plays Itself Out Again at the Academy Awards
Yes, the call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger could have been the end.
But what about his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6th? His 34 felony convictions? His adjudication as a rapist? His profiting billions of dollars from his office? His accepting bribes for pardoning his wealthy donors convicted of fraud or those who beat cops at the U.S. Capitol?
Most failed democracies didn’t have dozens of different opportunities to prevent their demise.
We have no one to blame but ourselves.
It’s weird that no one talks about this anymore (did we talk about it at all?), but how likely is it that the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in which he was supposedly hit in the ear by a round from an AR-15 didn’t leave a scar? Not even a scratch?
Why can’t some teenage cub reporter follow this down and show that the likelihood of this actually happening is like rolling a six on a die 1000 times in a row?
According to Trump’s head of Homeland Security, we, the American people, have two choices: stay silent against ICE agents’ grossly illegal and sometimes lethal violence against innocent people, or face “more bloodshed.”
This is what fascism looks like.
Yet, too many Americans are children or grandchildren of our brave ancestors who risked (or gave) their lives to defeat Hitler. I’m betting against Trump and the despicable people he’s nominated to top positions in his administration.
