Trump stiffed the workers, oh what a shame,
Knowing they couldn't afford legal games.
Republicans watched, did nothing at all,
Just stood by and let them fall.

Trump U tricked folks, vets were misled,
Millions in fines, not a word was said.
Republicans silent, no action in sight,
Just let it pass, day and night.

He took donations, for "defense" he claimed,
Spent on himself, without any shame.
Republicans quiet, not a peep to be found,
As he took their money, round and round.

He tricked the old, with recurring fees,
Drained their accounts, did as he pleased.
Republicans did nothing, let it slide,
Turned a blind eye, let it ride.

Who steals from sick kids, oh what a sin,
From a cancer charity, to fill his bin?
Republicans quiet, didn't lift a hand,
Watched as it happened, across the land.

Now he faces the law, for trying to steal votes,
Undermining democracy, grasping at hopes.
Republicans did nothing, as he broke his vow,
how can you still trust him, he broke the law.

In a cult you remain, blind to the flaws,
Republicans did nothing, just stood and paused.

Goodnight friends! Happy long weekend!

Trump says he would rather spend the day with Melania for her birthday but he has to be in court.

Trump is literally in court because he enjoyed cheating on Melania.

🚨DARVO: A Narcissistic Abuse Tactic Mainstreamed by Weaponized Propaganda

Fox News and similar media outlets often employ tactics reminiscent of DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim & Offender—a psychological manipulation strategy commonly associated with narcissistic abusers.

This approach manipulates audiences into questioning their perceptions of reality, much like the gaslighting techniques used by narcissists.

DARVO

Denial: These outlets frequently dismiss critiques of their reporting accuracy or bias, asserting that they deliver fair and balanced news. By denying any wrongdoing or bias, they attempt to maintain credibility among their audience, effectively gaslighting them into doubting any external critiques.

Attack: When faced with evidence of misinformation or bias, such outlets often shift the focus to attacking the credibility of their critics.

This can involve disparaging mainstream media, academic institutions, or experts who challenge their narratives. By undermining these sources, they aim to erode trust in any information that contradicts their own, encouraging viewers to question the integrity and motives of anyone who disagrees with their preferred narrative.

Reverse Victim and Offender: In this final stage, these media outlets position themselves as victims of a larger campaign aimed at silencing their voices.

They may claim to be under attack by "liberal media," tech companies, or other entities, thus casting themselves as the beleaguered defenders of free speech and truth. This reversal not only seeks to gain the sympathy of their audience but also to rally them against perceived external threats to their values and beliefs.

'Us-vs-Them'

This manipulation strategy exploits cognitive biases and emotional responses to create a distorted sense of reality among viewers.

By fostering an us-vs-them mentality, they isolate their audience from alternative viewpoints, making it more difficult for them to recognize misinformation or bias. The constant reinforcement of this distorted reality serves to deepen viewers' loyalty to the outlet, making them more susceptible to future manipulations.

The parallels between DARVO and the tactics employed by these media outlets highlight a concerning trend in the manipulation of public discourse.

It underscores the importance of media literacy and critical thinking skills in navigating the complex landscape of modern information consumption. Recognizing these tactics is the first step in resisting their manipulative effects and fostering a more informed and discerning public.

Throughout most of his life, Trump was a completely apolitical, silver-spoon playboy blowing through daddy’s money and partying. He was not interested in politics and rarely registered a political opinion. He ignored the press except for engaging in self-promotion.

When he gets back from his 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow he suddenly becomes very political and outspoken. He rails against whoever is in charge to the point that he changes his voter affiliation several times to get more coverage by being in the opposition. He starts talking about one day running for president.

In 2016, then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Paul Ryan and others, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.” Former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was known as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

Trump met with Putin in Helsinki and never mentioned what they talked about in private. No notes were ever released. The CIA reported an inordinate number of its spies being killed after he was elected.

He attempted to extort Ukraine into creating a scandal that would get him reelected in return for giving them needed aid. That bullshit earned him his first impeachment. He thinks Ukraine should be part of Russia, not an independent country. He's called Putin "highly respected, "genius" and “savvy” for declaring Ukraine’s Donbas region independent and using it as a pretext to send Russian forces in.

He wants to pull out of the NATO alliance.

He tried to get Putin to let him build a highrise in Moscow. He bought a Palm Beach property in 2004 for $41 million and sold it to Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev just four years later for $95 million. He revealed highly classified information to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and foreign minister Sergei Lavrov while they were IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

I could go on and on.

He’s been a compromised Russian asset for decades. It's plain as day. Denying it is willful ignorance.

1/Those interested in how the GOP was captured by the KGB/FSB should dig into Doug Burleigh’s longtime evangelism in Russia, going back to 1965. He is now head of the National Prayer Breakfast / “The Family.”
