Kelly says he wishes someone would tell Trump ‘how math works’, and frankly, it’s a sentiment many people share. It’s not just about simple arithmetic; it’s about understanding the fundamental principles of numbers and how they impact reality. The core issue seems to be that a significant portion of the electorate, and apparently Trump himself, struggles with these basic concepts. The frustration stems from the idea that sound decision-making, in any field, relies on a solid grasp of mathematical truths. When those truths are ignored or distorted, it leads to a distorted understanding of the world.
The problem, as articulated here, isn’t just that Trump might misunderstand math; it’s that he seems uninterested in grasping it.… Continue reading
The lower chamber leader has attempted to discredit the “No Kings” protests, falsely claiming the movement, which saw the largest single-day protest in U.S. history, advocated violence. These protests primarily focused on First Amendment rights, opposing Trump’s agenda and advocating for democratic principles. Participants used their platform to address various issues, including ICE’s authority and universal healthcare. Simultaneously, the leader seems intent on keeping the government closed, refusing to negotiate funding and blaming Democrats for the situation.
The topic, as expected, is that the portrayal of Portland by, and information sourced from, Donald Trump is “completely disconnected from the truth.” It’s almost a given at this point, isn’t it? You could swap out Portland for virtually any city, any policy, any person, and the headline would still ring true. Trump’s relationship with reality is… tenuous at best.
The core of the issue is simple: Trump is painting a picture of Portland that doesn’t align with what’s actually happening there. It’s a pattern we’ve seen time and time again. Whether it’s fueled by a deliberate attempt to mislead, a reliance on biased news sources, or a genuine disconnect from the world outside his own perspective, the result is the same: misinformation.… Continue reading
Michigan Democrat introduces ‘Stop RFK’s BS Act’ – well, that certainly grabs your attention, doesn’t it? It’s a bold move, and you can’t deny it’s got a certain… zing to it. The immediate reaction seems to be a mix of amusement and a sense of, “finally, someone said it!” It’s hard to ignore the sheer audacity of the name itself, a clear indication that the political landscape is getting more colorful, or maybe just more blunt.
The core of this is about accountability. The underlying sentiment here is that if someone, like RFK Jr., is disseminating information that’s demonstrably false, then there should be repercussions.… Continue reading
Trump claims that 29,000 supporters flocked to see him at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, a town with a population of approximately 24,657. Immediately, this raises eyebrows. How can a location with such a limited population possibly accommodate a crowd more than the total number of people living there? I find myself grappling with the implications of such a statement. It leads me to question not just the logistics of crowd sizes, but also the motives behind such exaggerated claims.
The images from that day suggested a far different story than what Trump announced. While there were indeed people lined up outside the fast food restaurant to catch a glimpse of the former president, the numbers being discussed simply don’t add up.… Continue reading
As I sat down to watch the recent CBS debate, I was immediately struck by the tension in the air as Vance accused the moderators of unfairly fact-checking. The outrage from Vance and his supporters was palpable, with claims that telling the truth equated to unfairness. It’s almost comical how the narrative of “unfairly fact-checking” is being spun by those who have built a reputation on spewing misinformation without consequences.
The incident where mics were cut after Vance’s accusations was telling. It’s a reflection of the current state of politics, where lies are normalized, and fact-checking becomes an inconvenience rather than a necessity.… Continue reading
I’m really starting to wonder if Trump is losing touch with reality. Claiming that an audience went ‘crazy’ for him at his debate with Harris, when there was no audience, is both concerning and frankly, quite humorous. The fact that he even mentioned the nonexistent audience shows a level of disconnect that is alarming for someone who once held the highest office in the country.
It’s no secret that Trump has a contentious relationship with the truth, but this latest episode of creating a phantom audience takes it to a whole new level. The fact that he mentioned that the audience went crazy for him, when there was no audience to begin with, is truly baffling.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent threat to sue the New York Times for debunking a false helicopter story is just another chapter in his ongoing saga of tantrums and baseless claims. It’s no surprise that a man who has a contentious relationship with the media would resort to such desperate measures when called out on his lies. His track record of labeling anything he doesn’t like as “fake news” is alarming, and his threats to control information by attacking the media if reelected are downright terrifying.
The fact that there is no public evidence to support Trump’s helicopter story only solidifies the narrative of his perpetual lying.… Continue reading
It’s truly mind-boggling to see the extent to which Trump can weave elaborate lies and fabricate entire scenarios without any basis in reality. The recent claim about Willie Brown telling him ‘terrible things’ about Kamala Harris during a near-fatal helicopter ride is just another example of the absurdity that comes out of his mouth. The fact that Willie Brown himself has debunked this story, stating that no such incident occurred, shows the sheer audacity of Trump’s deception.
It’s not just the blatant lying that is concerning, but also the lack of accountability from the media and people in power to call him out on these falsehoods in real-time.… Continue reading
