To be fair.

Karno's Rare-Because-He-Never-Has-Time Blather:
I've received a couple of complaints claiming that I haven't been treating the demented cult-leader of the MAGAs fairly. I was shocked by this, obviously. And since we all know that scrupulous fairness is the #1 concern of the MAGA cult, I sure don't want to seem the lesser man in comparison. So here's an unbiased report on the man and his place by Thom Hartmann:
https://donorbox.org/the-last-ameri.....-on-the-brink?
Hartmann is not only a well-known radio host, but also a certified psychotherapist, ordained theologian and noted historian who has brought this extraordinary collection of skills to an examination of the president’s brain. If he can't fairly figure out what's going on in the White House right now, who can? A quote:
"Trump grew up in an atmosphere of cruelty under the familial dictatorship of his daddy Fred Trump, whom the future president saw bully his older brother into an early alcoholic death. His mother emotionally checked out, leaving us with a president who needs a mother’s hug — and is taking it out on government employees.
Trump learned cruelty from his dad but learned how to weaponize it from his second daddy: Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s henchman, who taught Trump how to use fear and media manipulation to break your enemies — a group now encompassing most Americans.
Does Trump even believe his own bullshit? That’s not even a question for Trump, notes Hartmann. He quotes the master of prevarication himself:
“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest. I call it ‘truthful hyperbole.”
The ghost-writer of Trump’s The Art of The Deal says he made up the term “truthful hyperbole” to cover up the word, “lie.”
Can't get fairer than quoting the man's own words, yes? I hope this satisfies all parties.

cant imagine they dream of anything else but what reality must be really like asides from proxy
But I feel I've basically said that here before.
Hartmann isn't 100% on everything, I've caught him repeating BS before, but he's right about Drumpf.
Like “threat to democracy” being constantly regurgitated by a brain dead dolt with an auto pen?
Or the joyful warrior who didn’t receive a single vote to be her parties “democratically” elected candidate?
The left sure jumps up and down cheering for those outright lies!
Yeah, Trump is a blowhard cocky bastard…. He tweets things that will hurt your feelings.
But he gets shit done.
What exactly did Bidung do to end the war in Gaza or Ukraine? He said, “Don’t”…. And it had all the effect of a leaf asking the wind not to blow.
Saying “Don’t” to the enemies of the United States, while staffers use the auto pen to sign thousands of pardons and executive orders is NOT the leadership that the citizens deserve.
Thanks for at least trying though….
And let us know who you support in 28 in the comments below! 😉
No, I don’t want to see America go to shit, with government run grocery stores like mamdami is promising, with non citizens being fed and sheltered on my tax monies, even with millions of US citizens being dependent on handouts funded by my hard work without my consent.
No I don’t want to see America go to shit.
I want to see America go to work, and stop being a whiny bitch.
Another thing we agree on! Maybe we're not as divided as the media manipulators would like to make us. But it's gonna be though, what with the whiniest of little bitches occupying the White House. I mean, threatening CBS because Jimmy Kimmel's jokes made him cry? And it didn't even work! Jimmy's back on the air.
Theres even occasional things I agree with Sicfok on! 🤣
Yeah, it’s not gonna be an easy road, and bullets only make it harder.
As to the Kimmel thing,… again, TRUMP DIDNT SUSPEND HIM!
His employer did! It’s free market “right to fire” employment, not suppression of free speech. 🙄
If I am flagged for posting something that looks bad on my employer, I will be fired.
Kimmel made the left look bad, and made his employer who has a federal broadcasting license look bad… so he was suspended by his employer to avoid breach of contract for the federal license.
Brendon Carr threatened to find something to prosecute them with, he said as much on Benny Johnson’s podcast, if they didn’t get rid of Jimmy.
What Kimmel said wasn’t even that bad, all he did was suggest that Trump and co were grifting off Kirk’s death (which they are, with merch).
“FCC broadcast licenses grant permission to use specific radio frequencies for broadcasting, ensuring a station serves the public interest, convenience, and necessity”
His show continues to violate that with his current carrier and they’re justified in dropping him.
He still has his first amendment rights, just needs to take his show to CNN or a podcast.
And mocking the president when he’s disrespecting the constitution absolutely serves the public interest.
Again, take it to a private outlet like CNN or a podcast and he’s fine to say whatever he wants!
This whole bullshit drama proves why the USA is the greatest country in the world!
Try going to Moscow and waving an American flag while chanting “death to Putin!”
Nobody will ever hear from you again.
What planet are you on?
“No, CNN is not covered by the FCC's broadcast license because it is a cable network, not a local over-the-air broadcast station. The FCC licenses and regulates local stations that transmit on public airwaves, but not cable or satellite channels like CNN or MSNBC. ”
What the hell is wrong with affordable food for everyone?
He’s a spoiled brat with illusions of grandeur that will be the demise of a once great city.
There’s already an exodus happening as the wealthy are moving out of the cities tax district.
What happens to his plans when the “rich” people he plans on taxing are already on welfare? 🤔
Yeah, right. What a complete load of horseshit.

I’m completely having a hard time breathing!
Simpfuckersatan knows how to post links to try and back up his bullshit!?!????
I feel faint!!!
Nothing I read in either of those links makes me believe that guy is anything other than a communist.
Thanks for participating though!
All you're doing is proving your complete inability to view anything in other than your outdated black or white version of reality. You clearly refuse to grasp nuance.
You're still completely full of shit.
I could quote back the whole article in my own words and that wouldn’t be enough for you.
You’re set in your mindset that you’re right, and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong.
Until you mature out of that childish condition there’s no point in trying to converse with you.
Other than just being a sealion that is! 🤣🤣🤣🫏🤡
Interesting.
You want to be willfully ignorant, or just outright supportive of communism in the United States there’s nothing I can say to change your mind.
So you’re not worth the time.
✌️
Communism just isn't a real threat in the US, (Not that it ever was) but fascism is.
You're stuck in some fictional fifties cold war reality.
Drumpf DOES get things done, though. He's getting mayhem, scapegoating, corruption, senseless violence, and fascist oppression done.
Otherwise you’re as useless as lipstick on a pig.
If you want to be taken seriously, you have to prove yourself correct, not demand everyone else prove you wrong. There's a reason hardcore conservatives are generally anti-science.
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hi.....ay-2025-10-10/
Trump gets things done,… there’s the proof, not my personal opinion.
So where is Simpfuckersatans proof?
Ohh that’s right I’m sealioning him, her? Toaster?….
Don’t give a shit, coward can’t back their claims with any evidence, they’re useless idiots.
Absolutely brilliant.
"Left-wing radio host Thom Hartmann openly dislikes Donald Trump and has been a strong critic of his actions, policies, and character. His opposition is well-documented on his radio show, The Thom Hartmann Program, and on his website, The Hartmann Report. "
The paper clip 'source google thing' has these URLs.

Anyways...
the typical reaction will be along the lines ' totally NOT unbiased and therefore doesn't count '
Come on simpfuckersatan,.. come out of your pigeon hole and find us a link to your truth !
We are all waiting with bated breath!
…..
Our algorithms won’t let us see your truth, you have to post the link….
Think about that for a while as you try to link some kind of your truth.
And I still see that you never miss anything I write.
I'm touchedd, really.
“ I refuse to be sealioned”
I am totally stealing that one!
Thanks Simp!
However when I see something that I know is a lie perpetrated against me I call it out as 🐂💩 from the beginning.
Show me some links to “hard evidence” and don’t chicken out like simpfucker does with the whole “do your own research “ line….
Deathknight gave me a link, and I actually READ IT!!!!
And even quoted it back with a follow up post!
Something you have proven your incapable of doing.
So kindly…
Get bent.
You could have easily looked that up for yourswlf, you know.
Rather than just “sealioning” me for clicks!
🤡
There's another thing for you to look up. Or go ahead and keep using it wrong and make yourself look like an ass, I don't care.
I never do anything for clicks. I don't give a fuck about them.
And you complaining about it makes you look all the more a fool.
You’re gaslighting yourself with your failure to provide any evidence of why you believe the way you believe.
But hey, you do you I guess, keep it in commifornia thanks.
You didn't understand it then.
You're just SO pathetic and full of shit.
"Commifornia" -Absolutely brilliant.
While not a complete admission that orange man bad did good, it’s still admitting that good has come from his influence!
Now do the Israel / HamAss thing specifically!
I’ll wait.
As of Israel-Palestine, I think Israel was a very bad idea. (I do not blame the Jews, I blame Brits, Yanks and Soviets at end of WW2.)
(Sorry bout hidden post, was not fast enough to fix some typos.)
Most of us are actually pretty centrist, but the extreme ends of both parties get all the attention.
As to Israel, and the occupation of the region….
When exactly was Islam founded?
Ohh,… right not until around 600 CE
Six HUNDRED years after judaism spawned Christianity….
If anyone has hereditary rights to the land there, it’s the Jews.
As I said I do not blame Jews (nor Palestinians) wanting the place. In my opinion 600 or 2000 years old heralditory rights are bullshit.
That area is the seat of all of the Abrahamic religions.
No one has "Inherent rights" to any land. If anything, the lesson is that they should share it, as the Muslims, Christians, and Jews did, mostly peacefully, for around 1300 years before the Zionists showed up from Europe and stole it.
Your Native American cat buddy would disagree with that statement.
He's said himself that no one can own the land. We don't take it with us. We just inherit a responsibility to care for it.
You're inexorably stuck in a settler colonial mindset.
Also, why do you think Israel was "a very bad idea," in comparison to the various Arab nations created from the Treaty of Versailles, or the various nations of Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, or Australia? You know, the ones that were all built on a legacy of conquest, cultural eradication, and constant allusions to "divine right" and "manifest destiny?"
Palestine in particular was a low population muslim majority region until it got under British govern and the bad idea was allowing/not effectively preventing mass immigration of people British, Americans and Russians did not want to deal with into Palestine well knowing the likely result.
Americans apparently did not think allowing east Europeans (including Jews who were being prosecuted and displaced there) immigrating to their country would be a good idea.
My corner of Europe has fought against instead of being conquers. Apparently my ancestors were considered by Vikings to be primitive nasty witchcrafters with good routine to fend off raids while too poor to be worth trouble. Until 'cultural eradication' by Christianity of course. We hadn't even written language until around 1530. No 'white conquer guilt' here.
As for "taxpayer money," the United States gives a lot more to other countries than it does to Israel... and in each case, it's part of a labyrinthian network of connections, favors, and investments. In the case of Israel, the United States is repaid with strategic military assets (including invaluable intelligence gathering... which is why the U.K. got VERY upset when Israel's response to Starmer's pro-Hamas posturing was to threaten to start withholding said intelligence).
In addition, Israel is a sort of "scientific yeast." They're one of the forefronts of technological and scientific advancement in myriad fields. They're not the only ones, of course - but they ARE closely interconnected with research teams around the world, leading the way in everything from medical advancements to agricultural developments. (And have been for decades. The drip irrigation methods used to produce crops in drought afflicted areas were pioneered by Israelis learning how to grow food in the desert)
He’s of the mindset that social problems can be bludgeoned out.
Do you have any proof of a mass federal hiring during Biden's administration? You know that a lot of people quit or were fired during the plague outbreak of Trump's first term and at least attempted to get their old jobs back after the vaccine came out of testing.
“Employee salaries: The average employee salary for USAID in 2023 was about $112,258.”

“ Sealioning is a form of online harassment where a person disingenuously asks for endless questions, demanding evidence and justifications, all while feigning politeness and sincerity. Originating from a webcomic by David Malki where a sea lion character harasses another character with incessant, seemingly innocent questions”
So tell me again how I don’t understand what it is and I’m not using it against you?
Or maybe, provide a link that proves your argument as valid while I do my own research that negates you?
Get a fucking grip dude.
Just because there’s some new catchphrase doesn’t make you right. 🫏🤡🙄
The guy who led a purge of suspected homosexuals in government employ, then tried to accuse the heads of the Army of being commies when his boytoy was drafted, then spent a few years running real estate deals for the mob and Trump family before dying of AIDS.
his a RINO, he's a big government Liberal.
AND I think he's the distraction from what the "Inside of the beltway gang" is Actually doing.
