OBLIVIOUS

 Trump Tax Bill Hits Senate as GOP Torn by Competing Demands. (Bloomberg)

But not one GOP Senator has even raised the question of raising the percentage of taxes paid by the 1 or 2%, or how much more income would be received by a fairer tax on Corporations. All of the conversation is about what gets cut and what stays intact, and there has been zero, ZERO discussion on perhaps increasing the amount of taxes the wealthiest of Americans can and should pay.

The insanity, the sheer self-indulgence by the puppet politicians to protect their puppet masters, is maddening. The math is easy even for the most primary of budget-wise people, but the fact that politicians are owned and operated by special interest groups, by billionaires, by Dark Money makes the obvious, oblivious!

When you become THE OTHER

If there is a defining characteristic of President Donald Trump’s second term — aside from shameless self-enrichment out of the executive branch — I’d argue it’s the proliferation of unabashed and outspoken racism espoused by the president and many of his most loyal followers. (MSNBC-opinion)

The immigrants, especially those whose skin color happens to be in shades of brown, people who identify as trans men or women who use pronouns as they or them, protestors who have the audacity to use free speech as they protest the actions of the Trump Dictatorship, citizens who happen to have various shades of black for their skin color, people with special needs, poor people, women who want ownership of their bodies and reproductive organs, these demographics are the current crop of Americans who have publicly been granted the status of “It’s Okay To Racial Profile Them, and It’s Okay To Apply Bigoted Actions Against.

Trump made very clear his intentions upon becoming President once again. He has now demonstrated just how much of a Racist, a Bigot, and a Hater he always was and will continue to be. But worse, this time around, his MAGA Republican harem and freak show sycophants feel emboldened to follow in his path.

Ya gotta ask the question, who will be next, and when will it finally cast you as “THE OTHER?” 

It is no longer

 -----It is no longer the Supreme Court of the United States, it IS, in fact, Trump’s Court, better yet, the Heritage Society Court, and the MAGA majority of Justices would rather follow their bigoted, racist, and radical ways to hate, loathe, and disregard laws they, like Trump, have no patience for.

“The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling tied to birthright citizenship prompted confusion and phone calls to lawyers as people who could be affected tried to process a convoluted legal decision with major humanitarian implications.”

-----The Fascist regime of Trump and his Gestapo are slowly but surely draining the powers of the third rail of the US government, The Judiciary, sapping any chances for fair and equal treatment under the law.

“The court's conservative majority on Friday granted President Donald Trump his request to curb federal judges' power but did not decide the legality of his bid to restrict birthright citizenship.”

-----The Constitution is no longer a priority; it has become a meaningless and useless document that does not fit into Trump and his Court of MAGA Jesters to rewrite the laws of the land in their image.

-----That outcome has raised more questions than answers about a right long understood to be guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution: that anyone born in the United States is considered a citizen at birth, regardless of their parents' citizenship or legal status.

 

 

 

watch out

The Heritage Foundation Supreme Court (not the US Supreme Court, because that institution died once the majority of Christian Nationalist judges took over) is hearing  six cases in their closing days of operation before their summer break.  Most to many of these cases impact just how much freedom and choice, liberty and justice “WE THE PEOPLE” shall retain.

Birthright citizenship, Religion vs. LGBTQ books in public schools, Porn and the First Amendment, Health care and the Constitution are four of the cases which when decided will eliminate or encourage the Constitution to be inclusive of all citizens of this nation.

The divide between church and state, historic precedent, religious standards, and the health and welfare of the people of the United States are all up for grabs, all to be decided by a majority of non-elected, bought and paid for Justices who have demonstrated bias over the law of the land. 

These are important questions, and the people answering them seem more attuned to answering to their puppet masters than the PEOPLE! 

Goring/Himmler/Miller

 The architect of Trump's immigration policy could be profiting off ICE's cruelty. While Stephen Miller's anti-immigration fervor may be scratching an ideological itch, on Tuesday, we learned it may also be making him money. (msnbc.com)

The American Hermann Goring of Nazi notoriety, Stephen Miller, is all about the ethnic cleansing of America all the while making big bucks on the lives of the men and women and children he is expelling from the US. Make no mistake, this American “papers please” Fascist is happy to pretend he is all about America First, but he is much happier when the profits from his deportations make it to Stephen Miller first.

As if Stephen Miller was not just replaying the role of Hermann Goring, he is also assuming the role of Heinrich Himmler, who was also appointed Chief of German Police by Hitler in 1936. Seems Miller can’t get enough Fascist philosophy into American policy, and his joy in ethnic cleansing (most of the immigrants deported, kidnapped, snatched happen to be people of brown skin) is pure NAZI delight.

 

and the REST of us

So very 2025 in the USA when Jeff Bezos, the 4^th wealthiest man in the world, has an estimated wealth of $226.7 billion. The Bezos-Sánchez wedding has been estimated to cost between $23 million $34 million, as previously reported by USA TODAY. I do not begrudge him and his wife, Lauren Sanchez, the wedding of a lifetime, but what if Bezos and the other Billionaire Bros in this country were actually lawfully instructed to pay their fair share in taxes?

Meanwhile, while he and his cohort of billionaire dudes, and dudettes are off to Venice living the high life, and most likely will benefit dramatically from Trump's Big Beautiful Pro-Death Bill, the description for the rest of us is the following.

“It was the Best of Times and the Worst of Times.” “Let them Eat Cake.” “Buddy Can You Spare a Dime?” “Pull Yourself Up From Your Boot Straps.” And “Arbeit macht frei” (“Work makes one free.” 

mitch, again

 Mitch McConnell says voters will ‘get over’ losing Medicaid. That’s a risky bet. (msnbc.com)

The Crypt Keeper, a multimillionaire himself, living off the taxpayers' dime, has asserted that those who lose their Medicaid coverage will get over it. Does he mean get over it because they have died without the assistance? Does he mean they will get over it because, without it, their health and welfare will just deteriorate? Does he mean that those on Medicaid just decide to go out and purchase a health plan costing them more money than they earn?

Ancient and old Mitch just keeps on keeping on representing his political party of Pro-Death, his arrogance is just one more example of why term limits should have and must be put in place, and why money must be taken out of politics and politicians' pockets
