BREAKING: SCORCHED EARTH! Lawrence O’Donnell UNLOADS on "demented" Trump and the "deeply sick people" in the White House who helped craft his "proof of dementia" speech last night.

This one has MAGA world seeing red...

"He actually said the words and he was reading this from a teleprompter 'We had transgender for everybody,'" the anchor said on MS NOW. "So I guess that was what? Donald Trump's way of coming out as transgender? Because everybody means the guy who's saying it."

Trump has repeatedly made the insane claim that prior to his presidency, Democrats had implemented "transgender for everybody." It's an utterly nonsensical statement, but it demonstrates just how little he thinks of his supporters' mental faculties. He knows that if he just gestures at the word "transgender," like jangling keys for a dog, his supporters will start panting in excitement.

"But that's the sentence that was put in the teleprompter for him by the deeply sick people who work in the White House who pumped that stuff into his teleprompter," O’Donnell continued.

"He was talking about the state of the world as he found it when he became President," he went on. "He said we had 'transgender for everybody.' That was right at the beginning of his speech, this obsession that he has with transgender issues and transgender people, and suddenly all 300 million people in America were suddenly in this demented man's hallucination, transgender. And then what? He got us all back to whatever gender he thinks we were before he got to be President?"

"It is so deeply sick. Every single beat of this speech is deeply, deeply sick. A deeply sick delivery by a deeply sick person," he added.

Trump's fixation on transgender people is not some random quirk of his personality, it offers deep insight into his political strategy. He knows he has nothing to offer average Americans because his entire agenda revolves around tax cuts for oligarchs, handouts to the fossil fuel companies destroying our planet, and more foreign wars to benefit the military-industrial complex and Israel.

Since all of those goals are deeply unpopular with most of the country, he relies on culture war issues to distract and divide us. He hopes that if he gets us all arguing about trans people, we won't notice that he's lining his pockets with our money, slaughtering innocent people, and dismantling our Constitution.

The rest of Trump's speech was no better. He spent a lot of time ranting about China obtaining voter data on the 2020 election (even though there's zero evidence that they affected the vote tabulation) and pointed to it as proof for his claim that it was "rigged" in Joe Biden's favor.

O'Donnell dismantled the rest of Trump's speech lies, and then he really brought the hammer down—

"There is no American who has tried to cheat and interfere in our election in a bigger way than Donald Trump himself, who was indicted for it!" he said. "He was indicted for his cheating and interference in Georgia. He was indicted for his cheating and interference in a federal indictment. That's who up there giving that speech about cheating and interfering in our elections."

O'Donnell mocked the section of the speech in which Trump begged Congress to pass his voter suppression bill because it has no real path forward, then delivered a real zinger—

"And so here we are. After Mitch McConnell issued a proof of life photograph earlier this week, Donald Trump delivered a proof of dementia video," said O'Donnell. "Twenty-five minutes of it."

We couldn't agree more.

Please ❤️ and share to thank O’Donnell for boldly telling the truth!

Wow! During Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing, Jeffrey Epstein survivor Dani Bensky just seemingly accused Todd Blanche and the Trump administration of intentionally releasing her personal information!

"I'm a teacher. In my school, if a student released a nude photo depicting a peer's sexual assault and abuse, they would almost certainly face expulsion. And yet, this is what our Department of Justice did to crime victims.

"Today, Todd Blanche has been at the helm of the release of nude images of survivors, the outing of Jane Does, and the exposure of more than 100 victims' identifying information and documents describing horrific acts of abuse, including my own.

"Instead of treating this release as its own violation and holding the man who led it accountable, you have a decision on whether you place him in the highest law enforcement position in this country.

"In December, before the document release, our attorneys submitted 350 victims' names to the Department of Justice as victims' names to be redacted prior to the release. In that first release, I found my name in two places.

"In that next release in January, my name appeared again. But this time, the redactions were so far worse. The files displayed not only my name, but my phone number, my former addresses, where I worked, and other identifying information.

"When my name appeared in the third file release, it became difficult to believe that this was not intentional."

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.

When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.

But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

Yes, Trump has eclipsed Mitch McConnell as the worst American of my lifetime. So have other monsters Donald has empowered: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Stephen Miller, etc.

But without Addison Mitchell McConnell III, there would be no Donald Trump. Remember this: Mitch fed the cancer. He nurtured the tumor. He prevented the oncologists and surgeons from administering treatment. And knowing he possessed the singular cure, he chose to sit on his hands as the terminal disease ate away at our democracy.

That is the sum of his life’s work. That is his ignominious legacy.

For shame.

E. Jean Carroll was just paid more than $5.6 million by the sitting president of the United States after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and a federal judge clarified that what he did was rape.

That should be the biggest story in the country today.

The president raped a woman.

She took him to court.

And she won.

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

BREAKING: The View's Sunny Hostin shreds the racist UFC smear of Michelle Obama in a scathing takedown.

She nailed exactly how we’re feeling…

“I do want to address the derogatory slur made about the former First Lady Michelle Obama,” Hostin said on the show. “Because I think it's important to address and we won't dignify what was said by repeating it. Yeah, but you should look it up.”

Over the weekend, Trump hosted a drunken mob of MAGA fanatics and MMA fighters on the White House lawn. One of the fighters, Josh Hokit, brought the disgraceful proceedings crashing to absolute rock bottom when he shouted “Michelle Obama is a man” into the microphone.

“And I think the reason that it's important is because for a long time and the roots are in slavery,” continued Hostin. “Black women have been slurred and made to feel that they were unattractive, made to feel that they were masculine, made to feel that they didn't have the femininity that a white woman would have.”

This is the key point. Calling Black women “men” has long been a favored insult of white supremacists. Their aim is to degrade and humiliate women of color while asserting that only white women can truly be “women.” It’s a line of attack ripped straight out of a Klan brochure.

Note that this particular defamation is reserved for Mrs. Obama. Republicans despise Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Jill Biden but you’ll never see them attacking their femininity. That indignity is hurled solely at Black women.

“And so there's this intersectionality between racism and sexism that was on full display at the White House,” explained Hostin. “The crowd laughed at the statement and the President of the United States smirked and never addressed what was said. That is beneath the dignity of the office of the President of the United States and it's beneath the dignity of the American people.”

While we agree in principle, unfortunately nothing is “beneath the office of the presidency” while Donald Trump remains in the Oval Office. He’s a racist, rapist, pedophile. As long as he’s in power, America will continue scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the Obamas!
