Trump Translator:
“We’ll get it done” = I have no intention on doing anything unless it makes me money.
"Many People have told me" = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me.
"A lot of people don't know" = I just learned something most people already knew.
"Believe me" = I just lied.
"In Fact" = I'm about to lie.
"He's a great guy" = I will deny ever knowing this person after they begin to tell the truth about me.
"MAGA" = Making my pockets fatter off the American tax payers.
"Nobody knew" = Everyone knew except me.
"Huge" = moderate to below average in size.
"Loser" = someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments.
"Policy Briefing" = Turning on Fox News.
"Liar" = Someone telling the truth about me

Truths about Trump:
The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
The “genius” who hides his college grades.
The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
The “playboy” who pays for sex.
The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
The “patriot” who dodged the draft”
The “innocent man” who refuses to testify
*****************************
Christianity was born from an ancient fertility cult back when darkness, fear, ignorance and violence was the order of the day. Add in a virgin rape and birth, a zombie or two to scare the idiots, and you have the nexus of organized religion. In modern times they figured out how to monetize those same base instincts by preying (no pun intended) on those around them who are weak of mind lack or willpower. Theocrats and fascists walk hand in hand in America, and in the halls of Congress. The well manicured illusion of separation of church and state has always been a fucking joke from the beginning.

I was a Jan. 6 juror. What I learned surprised me.

I was a Jan. 6 juror. What I learned surprised me. Trump’s pardons of virtually all of the Jan. 6 rioters left me dejected. Am I safe? When the jury summons for federal criminal court arrived in my mailbox in November 2023, I knew I had to answer it. And not just because I had been deferring and deferring and now I was all out of deferments. I had to answer this one because in my gut I knew it wasn’t going to be just any old criminal case. I remember saying to my partner, “I bet you anything it’s a January 6 case.” Make sense of the latest news and debates with our daily newsletter At that point, it had been more than two years since a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in the city that has been my home for 16 years. But criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection were still making their way through the federal court in D.C. at a pretty steady clip. At the time my summons arrived, roughly 1,200 Jan. 6 cases had already been adjudicated, and there were still many mor...

Hypocrisy, Spinelessness, and the Triumph of Donald Trump

Sign up for it here. In the summer of 2015, back when he was still talking to traitorous reporters like me, I spent extended stretches with Donald Trump. He was in the early phase of his first campaign for president, though he had quickly made himself the inescapable figure of that race—as he would in pretty much every Republican contest since. We would hop around his various clubs, buildings, holding rooms, limos, planes, golf carts, and mob scenes, Trump disgorging his usual bluster, slander, flattery, and obvious lies. The diatribes were exhausting and disjointed. But I was struck by one theme that Trump ke...

JD Vance Dossier

Read the JD Vance Dossier We’re publishing the supposed Iran-hacked document. Here’s why. Ken Klippenstein Sep 26, 2024 https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-the-jd-vance-dossier Photo by Matthew Hatcher/Getty Images We publish what others won’t. Subscribe to support our work and for updates on this breaking story. Type your email... Subscribe Behold the dossier. It reportedly comes from an alleged Iranian government hack of the Trump campaign, and since June, the news media has been sitting on it (and other documents), declining to publish in fear of finding itself at odds with the government’s campaign against “foreign malign influence.” I disagree. The dossier has been offered to me and I’ve decided to publish it because it’s of keen public interest in an election season. It’s a 271-page research paper the Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. As far as I can tell, it hasn’t been altered, but even if it was, its contents are publicly verif...
