Bloated Trump Hits Rock Bottom at Nutty Speech
Donald Trump spoke at the Faith & Freedom event in Nashville, Tennessee over the weekend and the speech was full of glitches, lies, and fearmongering. Trump clearly was having difficulty getting his talking points and terminology right, saying at one point, “pushing woke gender ideology, woke gender ideology — think of it, on young people is nothing less that child abuse. No teacher should ever be allowed to teach transgender to our children without the parents’ consent.” Later on, Trump bragged about how he came up with the nickname “Unselect Committee” for the Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots. The ex-POTUS found it so incredibly clever and apparently the crowd did too as they laughed and cheered him on. Trump also criticized the committee for not playing into his narrative about the election results, which both isn’t their job and that the members don’t believe in to begin with.
Right Wingers TURN on Republicans, Dan Crenshaw Assaulted, Ted Cruz Trolled
The Texas Republican Party had a bonkers convention over the weekend that included them declaring Donald Trump the true winner of the 2020 election and banning a gay Republican group from participating. But the individuals in attendance were just as crazy, attacking everyone from Congressman Dan Crenshaw to Senator Ted Cruz. Attendees jeered at Crenshaw when he arrived, calling him a “globalist” who’s in touch with Charles Schwab. One person called him “Eyepatch McCain” which is a term Tucker Carlson coined on his program a few weeks ago. Another participant went up to Ted Cruz and called him out for sticking by Donald Trump even after the former president attacked his wife. He also criticized Cruz for abandoning Texas during a winter storm to vacation in Cancun, Mexico. The Republican infighting has to be welcomed by the left, as it will likely create opportunities for Democrats to win elections going forward.

Very Sad Trumpist Thinks JFK is President
Jason Selvig from the Good Liars interviewed Trump supporters at a recent event and came across one guy who believed that John F. Kennedy is still president. The man was wearing a shirt featuring JFK and JFK Jr. He pointed to Junior and said “he’s the vice president,” before pointing to Senior and saying “he’s the president.” A befuddled Jason Selvig said, “you’ve got to explain this to me.” Jason brought up how John F. Kennedy was assassinated on video in Dallas in 1963 but the man insisted that that didn’t actually happen. A number of QAnon believers think that John F. Kennedy Jr. didn’t die in a plane crash in 1999 and that he’s coming back soon to become Donald Trump’s VP. At least JFK Jr. would be 61 years old if he was still alive right now so he would be in the correct age range, but JFK Sr. would be 105 years old if he was still alive, and that’s what makes this claim all the more crazy.

Truth Social CENSORING Anti-Trump Jan 6 Posts
Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social is reportedly censoring anti-Trump posts related to the January 6th Capitol riots. Users were speaking their minds about the congressional hearings and it led to some posts getting taken down and accounts getting suspended. Jack Cocchiarella said on Twitter, “I was suspended from Truth Social for posting about the January 6th hearing last night. Donald Trump is scared of free speech.” Travis Allen wrote, “my Truth Social account was just permanently suspended for talking about the January 6th Committee hearings.” And Joseph said, “just put out my first post on Truth social and they deleted it. Real freedom of speech champs there.” Truth Social has every right to censor certain social media posts they don’t like, just like any other social media platform does. However, Truth was supposed to be a place for free speech and the open exchange of ideas and in reality it’s just become a pro-Trump right-wing echo-chamber.
