"But ya are"

 Trump Is Mad People Are Linking Him To 'Late Show' Cancellation (HUFFPOST)

“Blanche: You wouldn’t be able to do these awful things to me if I weren’t still in this chair! Jane: Butcha are, Blanche! Ya are in that chair!” (‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’)

Trump's comments on Epstein raise new questions about when and why they fell out. Trump on Tuesday went on to say that Epstein "stole" young women who worked at the spa at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. "People were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone," Trump told reporters on Air Force One. (ABC News)

“Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” (‘All About Eve)

TRUMP this, TRUMP that, and unless TRUMP feels he is in command of the dialogue, the dialogue will determine its own agenda of reality. TRUMP is the culprit, the criminal, the pervert, the pedophile. He has so far been able to dislodge the conversation from fact to fiction, but those among us who know that the pen can be mightier than the sword should show off their swagger in an unrelenting riot of words with truth.

 

 

 

What Now !!!!!!!!!!

 The Republican Pro-Death/Pro-Pedophile/Pro-Billionaire Political Party is once again caving in for the perks and privileges of their puppet masters, placing personal wealth above and beyond the health and safety, and let’s be blunt, FUTURE of the people of America and sadly the rest of the world.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said Tuesday he's issuing draft plans to overturn the agency's 2009 scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human health and welfare — a move guaranteed to spark litigation. (AXIOS)

Placing the wants and wishes of the greedy Corporations and their greedy shareholders above and beyond any facts or truths, the MAGA-based government is rewriting the science and just creating science fiction.

As climate change turns up the temperature, summers in America are coming down to a choice between enduring the heat and avoiding it—both of which might, in their own ways, be making people sick. (The Atlantic)

This Entire Country Has To Be Evacuated Because of Climate Change. (VICE)

It's about him

 "You see, Donald Trump recognized that (Epstein) had finally crossed a line," Stewart said. "Now, if it were me, obviously giving this explanation in front of reporters, I probably would have stopped there. But, since I am not, Trump went on to describe Epstein's inappropriate behavior and wait until you hear what is the Rubicon that Epstein crossed." (RollingStone)

"He hired help," Trump told the reporters. "And I said don't ever do that again. He stole people that work for me." Stewart quipped in response, "'You all know him as Jeffrey Epstein the sex trafficker, but I knew his dark side.” (RollingStone)

Sometimes I read an article and spend time trying to discover an angle from which I can write my blog, looking for the space between the letters or words to glean some insight. Most of the time, whenever I write about the Felon, Fraudster, Sexual Harasser, and now Pervert, my gut takes the reins from my brain and instructs me as to what to say, and how to phrase it, because most actions, words, or deeds originating from Trump are so overflowing with grossness that writing my blog is easy.

But this time, Trump has made it clear with his own words that Epstein was not a bad dude because he was a pedophile and ruined the lives of innocent YOUNG females, but in fact, the only bad thing Epstein was guilty of was hiring Trump’s staff. So, the damage done was not against the innocent but towards Trump himself. How in the world does someone this disgusting face the next day?

VOTING wrongs

 3 Supreme Court justices just said they’re fine with race discrimination in elections. Turns out only half of the Republican justices want to kill off the Voting Rights Act. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch all voted to leave in place a lower court decision that effectively nullified one of the most consequential civil rights laws in American history. (Vox)

The Heritage Foundation Supreme Court is demonstrating one more example of trying to implement the vile and venomous ingredients of the very Christian Nationalistic Project 2025. Trying their hardest to take us back to the racist days of “White’s Only, these bigoted justices only seek justice for the white only segment of our population.

And ya know, once segregation takes root, it is never ever satisfied with scapegoating one demographic, nope, it’s like a cancer cell needing to feed off of more cells, perhaps Jews, perhaps Catholics, perhaps the LGBTQ, perhaps the Hispanic and Latinos, perhaps Women. Hate is never controlled; its spark is like the flash of energy that starts a wildfire, a disaster that becomes catastrophic and deadly.

 

 

keep up the PRESSURE

 'Protecting pedophiles?': Fmr. Congressman slams GOP over Epstein files handling. (MSNBC)

Indeed, they are, and each and every day, more and more people must state this obvious fact. Newspapers in the hometowns of vacationing Republican Congresspeople should be writing headlines declaring the GOP as protecting pedophiles.

In another attempt to pivot from the Jeffrey Epstein story, President Trump calls for Kamala Harris, Beyonce and Rev. Al Sharpton to be prosecuted. Senior Writer for the Wired, Jake Lahut tells Weekend Primetime “Trump doesn’t have the juice anymore…. And people around him are trying to keep him above water." (MSNBC)

Reaching for distractions and using the Republican playbook of “look over there,” Trump and his Gestapo are reaching for low-hanging fruit to create one more unreal news flash.  The question will be whether the Main Street Media will play into these newest machinations created by the pervert Trump, adding fuel to his fire, or, for once, will the Media do the right thing and ONLY concentrate on Trump and his pedophilia? 

As the fallout from the Trump Administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation drags into another week, core questions at the center of the case remain unanswered, including how Epstein financed his crimes and went unchecked for decades. (MSNBC)

And exactly who has been the pervert from within the rich and powerful cadre who is just as guilty of pedophilia as is Trump? How much money and effort are they putting into keeping this crime covered up?

To Kowtow

 The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved Skydance’s $8 billion purchase of CBS-owner Paramount after the companies agreed to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs but feature a “diversity of viewpoints from across the political and ideological spectrum.” (The Verge)

The fascist leader has once again interrupted the flow of free speech, the freedom of the press, and his authoritarianism has been embraced by corporate billionaires, placing personal wealth above and beyond the principles of democracy. We are helpless when the 1% most powerful kowtow to the dictator, placing, once again, profits over people. I must wonder aloud, is it already too late to turn back?

Demanding how and why the media works is a frightening demonstration of the limitless control by the government, and the exclusion of the uniqueness of the government’s citizens should send a chill, a fascist chill all over our bodies. I would say be afraid, but the monster is already in the house, waiting for its next victims.

Now this

 The first deportation flights out of a temporary detention center in the Florida Everglades began this week, with hundreds of people departing the state — including some who were eventually sent out of the country, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Friday. About 100 people previously detained at the Florida center “have fully been deported,” DeSantis said, without specifying where they were sent. (The Washington Post)

First, they are sent to the Trump American version of concentration camps, of course, located in Florida, under the auspices of one of the most deranged US Governors, DeSatan, and then secondly, as if due process were an imaginary law, they are sent to who knows where, and who knows what happens to them next. Immigrants are disposable human beings, considered as vermin by the fascist Trump regime, and all of the so-called MAGA Christians cheer this atrocity on, pretending something like this makes America First.

The majority of these PEOPLE are innocents trying to make a better life, breaking no laws, say, perhaps, like the 34-count felonies of Trump, not accused of sexual harassment like Trump, and none of them guilty of fraud like Trump. 

 

 

how much LOWER

 Trump's favorite lines of defense aren't working in the Epstein controversy. He's skated past previous controversies by changing his arguments. (msnbc.com)

Will this newest, in the long line of previous crimes and controversies, finally catch up with the fraudster, felon, sexual harasser, or will hypocrisy once again become the winner? Will morals and values finally become the priority for a larger majority of Americans, or will we once again align ourselves with the evil that is incarnated in the form of Trump? 

What a stench, an odorous, nauseating, gnawing pain it is and has been watching the perversions of this pedophile, be excused and ignored by the Republican and MAGA base. Yeah, some are calling for transparency, but those who are delighting in making excuses for Trump’s malignancy seem to outnumber the rest.

How much lower can his cultists go?

 

 

The Perv, once again

Judge declines to release grand jury documents from the criminal probe into Jeffrey Epstein. (CNN)

And to whose surprise is this ruling? Grand Jury documents are rarely if ever released. Trump and his puppet mistress Biondi knew this was going to be the case. The Pervert and Pedophile still get away with his crime.

House Oversight Committee issues subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell. (abc News)

Deals will be floated. Good news will come Maxwell’s way, and all she will have to do is lie, lie, lie, and suddenly this Pervert/Pedophile will become a free woman. I guess it beats having to commit suicide while in jail.

Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files. (The Wall Street Journal).

Guilty as a Pervert and a Pedophile, he knew it, they knew it, and now we know it. Yet like so many crimes, this Pervert and pedophile commits it; it looks like once again, he will get away with it. The Felon, the fraudster, the sexual harasser, and the pedophile, a true Public Enemy Number One, will seemingly walk away from any consequences incurred, initiated, and instigated by his own fucked up deeds.  

Indeed

 Noem scolds reporter for asking about racial profiling in immigration crackdown. (MSNBC)

Gurlfriend, you protest way too loudly, and way too much. Kristi, hun, you and your secret police hunt down people whose skin is many shades of brown. You know it, we know it, and sadly, your victims of racial profiling suffer the consequences of your INTENDED racism.

Rupert Murdoch should stand for free speech and fight Trump’s bogus Wall Street Journal lawsuit. As corporations pay shakedown settlements, the 94-year-old right-wing media mogul has an opportunity to resist Trump’s assaults on the First Amendment. (MSNBC)

Who would have thought that this Immigrant could be the bellwether, the turning point, the actual ball sac for fighting back the tyranny and fascist machinations of the Trump administration’s attack on having a free press and free speech? Don’t hold your breath however, because we are talking about Rupert Murdoch!

GOP’s Murkowski says she feels ‘cheated’ by administration following megabill’s passage. (MSNBC)

Lisa, sweetheart, one more clown in the Republican clown car, armed with a seltzer bottle, and a cream pie, both of which smack you in your selfish and self-serving face. Trump has lied at least 99% of the time, and somehow you, and you alone, were convinced that you were immune from his lying and scheming ways. Really Lisa!

 

 

Trump and Jordan

 Epstein saga hangs over Congress's sprint to summer recess. (The Hill)

Maria Farmer twice reported Donald Trump's connection with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI, shining light on how the president may be mentioned in the Epstein files held by the Justice Department. (Rolling Stone)

PEDOPHILE, PEDOPHILIA, TRUMP, REPUBLICANS, all the headlines we need. 

Rep. Jim Jordan faces deposition about OSU sex abuse scandal. The powerful Ohio Republican coached wrestlers who say he knew team doctor Richard Strauss molested them but did nothing to protect them. (NBC News)

A new film about the Ohio State wrestling team sex abuse scandal indicts those who looked away. (Los Angeles Times)

PEDOPHILE, PEDOPHILIA, TRUMP, JORDAN, REPUBLICANS, all the headlines we need.

Trump and Jordan are both a part of the pro-pedophile political party, proud members of the art of pedophilia.  

Fight back already

 Forget the high road: Newsom takes the fight to Trump and his allies. Gov. Gavin Newsom reached a turning point in June after President Trump sent troops to Los Angeles. His directive to his aides was to be more combative on social media and match the tactics emanating from the White House. (Los Angeles Times)

Fight back, be loud, silence equals death, come on, Democrats and those who prefer democracy over fascism, play by the same rules of the game as Trump and his party of pedophiles use. Stop kowtowing to the bullies of the right-wing domestic terrorists.

There is too much at stake, as in freedoms, liberties, justice, and choice, to placate the Fascist regime of Trump and his unending desire to become Dictator and King. Playing nice can no longer be the choice for any American. 

Remember, it’s not a matter of who will be next to be exploited as the enemy; the better question should be, when will you or I be on Trump’s enemy list?

 

 

one more

One more death knell for the LGBTQ youth by the Pro-Death policies within the Trump Administration.

The nation’s Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, 988, shuttered the specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth this week. The move came a day after the Lifeline marked three years since its launch. During this period, it has fielded more than 16 million calls, texts, and chats. Nearly 10% of those contacts have been from gay and transgender young people, according to government data. (npr)

Pro-Death policies seem to be the priority for Trump and his Heritage Foundation policy advisors, all of course in the name of some manmade God who apparently prefers the bigotry and bias of the most heinous of human beings over the sanctity of a safe and healthy life for the LGBTQ community.

One more demographic left to suffer the consequences of a group of people devoid of love but full of hatred and self-loathing. 

crudite again

 “We’ll be there for you, the American people, when you need help with Medicaid and Medicare, but you gotta stay healthy as well,” Oz insisted. “Do the most you can do to really live up to your God-given potential to live a full and healthy life. Don’t eat carrot cake. Eat real food.” (msnbc.com)

The douchebag is back, and just when we thought the brain worm anti-vax, swims in toxic water, was grabbing the headlines for all of the false reasons we overlooked Dr. Oz and his snooty, snobby, and disingenuous machinations.

From the trump Administration, which gladly tells the MAGA minions and the rest of us stuck in his sticky web of Fascism to “let them eat cake,” along comes Dr Oz the Douchebag to criticize the eating habits of people who may not have enough money to purchase his idea of healthier foods.

The U.S. has a long history of food shaming, and particularly of shaming the food choices of people who are poor. (masnbc.com)

This elitist, who is more arrogant than inclusive, once again pontificates from his ivory tower, to ridicule a segment of the population which relies heavily on his and his heroin-smoking Kennedy’s decisions.

Remember when Oz said, “Guys, that’s $20 for crudité and this doesn’t include the tequila,” 

write a picture

 Responding to a report about his former relationship with Epstein, Trump said, “I never wrote a picture in my life." The record suggests otherwise. (msnbc.com)

I had no idea one could write a picture, but the intelligence level for Trump is so low, I suppose writing a picture is exactly what this (I doth protest way too much) idiot actually knows he did. Look at me, I can draw!

His birthday letter to his BFF Epstein talks about their secrets (I suppose the fraternity of pedophiles has secret handshakes, secret perversions, and secret kinks), secrets that Trump made certain Epstein took to his way too early grave.

‘The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy — like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. The letter concludes: ‘Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.’ (Wall Street Journal)

This charade just keeps on giving, as well as his denials keep on coming. I say continue to post more about this pervert pedophile, do not let him remove his crimes from the public.

POPULISM

 Trump’s attempts to decide who is ‘American’ is downright un-American. The arc of American history bends toward inclusion — but only if we push back. (Maddow blog)

How much longer will this Felon, Sexual Harasser, Fraudster, Racist jerk be able to move America closer and closer to an Authoritarian nation, permitting him and only him to be prosecutor, judge, and jury? Under the guise of Populism, Trump is demonstrating that one man, and one man alone, can and will shape the future of this country. 

Populism Political ideology that sees society as divided into a good people and an evil elite. Populism is a political movement or philosophy that claims to represent the interests of ordinary people, often contrasting them with a perceived corrupt elite. (Wikipedia)

There are at least 13 billionaires in Donald Trump's cabinet, making it the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history. Their combined net worth could exceed $460 billion. (abc.com). Elon Musk, Mariam Adelson, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are these billionaires part of the common people, yet Trump has convinced himself that he (himself a billionaire is just as common as each and every single member of MAGA, and it has worked. How the fuck and why the fuck?

Maybe the democrats should spend time helping the average American to better understand that Trump and his Brown Shirts are not even close to being like the average American and are indeed the hated and despised Elite.

 

 

 

What's next?

 Just when we wonder what in this fucking Trump/MAGA nation could happen next, we find Texas doing best what a Fascist state does best, which is silencing free speech. 

“Texas just gutted free speech on college campuses. Is your state next? New laws in the Lone Star State will silence dissent and undermine faculty authority.” (Washington Post)

Perhaps the question we should be asking is what cannot happen next.               

From “Papers Please” to the Trump version of the Nazi’s “SS”, ICE, to firing Government workers who actually assist in the governance of this nation, to acting as God regarding gender identity, to ending many scientific and medical advances, each and every day we witness what is next, and it just gets worse and worse.

“What’s next, to words I am frightened to mutter.

 

 

 

Burn it

Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash. (The sources I spoke with for this story requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.) (The Atlantic)

Once again, Trump and his MAGA Republican Party of Pro-Death demonstrate the art of the deal not only to starve the innocent, but to make it worse by giving zero shits about it.

And where, oh where, are the hues and cries from the pro-Life Christians who insist every life matters? Oh my bad, those lives only matter while inside the womb of the seed carrier, the mother. 

Our Car Crash

 “Trump crashes team’s FIFA Club World Cup trophy photo, booed by soccer fans. “I was a bit confused,” said Chelsea soccer star Cole Palmer after the president neglected to leave the stage following the trophy presentation ceremony. (MSNBC)

The most insecure buffoon, once again suffering from delusions of grandeur, so sick with narcissism, wanders around as a lost and soulless vessel sailing in a sea filled with a cesspool of his own inadequacies. 

“Targeting a critic, Trump claims a power he does not have in new authoritarian move. When an American president with an authoritarian-style vision starts claiming abusive powers he does not have, it’s best not to look away.” (MSNBC)

He will try to get away with the powers and authorities limited explicitly by our Constitution, but he never read the Constitution, and if he did, he prefers his own distorted version, which has been encouraged by the Heritage Foundation's Supreme Court Justices. It’s too late to be afraid; it’s time to fight back.

Two situations from the same man, both pathetic, both problematic, and so far, all we seem capable of doing is watching the car crash as if we were sitting in the front seat.

 

 

 

food and murder

 Food Banks Are Running Out of Food Exactly When More Americans Will Need Them

‘The most challenging situation I’ve seen in 17 years.’ Cuts to food stamps and other federal programs mean some people go home hungry. (The Wall Street Journal)

Hungry, what an awful feeling, hungry with nowhere to turn to eat, must be an even more inhuman pain from which to suffer the consequences of a political Party identifying more with billionaires and Corporations than human beings. And to think that this government must hope that Food Banks will solve the problem of hunger is outrageous, to say the least.

And since way too many Americans do not go hungry, they are not limited to perhaps, if lucky enough, one meal a day…who exactly will remain the advocates for the poor? Homelessness, lack of medical coverage or care, and now starvation are always the fault of someone else; the people with no collateral are always considered some kind of low life, some kind of animal that deserves their injustice by a society that is too far distant.

I call it Republican Pre-Meditated Murder, and those Republicans who supported the Big Beautiful Bill are Pre-Meditated Murderers.

Lunacy

 Trump says he is considering revoking citizenship of longtime foe Rosie O'Donnell. (Houston Chronicle)

In the position, perhaps, as the most powerful person in the world, this insecure psychopath, Trump, is waging war on Rosie O’Donnell. Seriously, Rosie O’Donnell! This is where the President of the United States has drawn one more of his Red Lines!

As he tried to quell a revolt among his own MAGA supporters who are furious about what they believe is a Jeffrey Epstein “coverup,” President Donald Trump perhaps inadvertently bestowed a bizarre new nickname on the accused child sex trafficker, calling him “a guy who never dies.” (SILIVE.com)

You know when Trump continues to talk, and talk, and talk about subjects he scolds others to stop talking about, that he cannot stop talking because his narcissism won’t allow him to NOT admit to something criminal he has committed!

How much more mayhem and manic behavior can the American people handle? I write about these idiotic outbursts from Trump, knowing full well that he is a crazy, guilty, insecure individual, yet also knowing that my blogs cannot stop his lunacy, but I must wonder how much longer this can go on?

 

Secret Police

 ICE's 'Secret Police' Are Horrifying. Team Trump Is Laughing. The administration is using memes to troll Democrats and others who are concerned about its brutal deportation tactics. (RollingStone)

Secret Police for Trump, the Fascist Dictator. Stephen Miller, the Heinrich Himmler of Trump’s Fourth Reich, and his Gestapo delight in the fact that the nation, not just democrats, reels at the idea of “papers, please”, brown shirts, rounding up immigrants, and those Americans who happen also to have various shades of brown as their skin color.

These henchmen could give zero fucks regarding the inhumanity they unleash just to satisfy their sick, sad, psychotic bigotry. And it seems that the Christian Nationalists find this entire ploy something that would also satisfy their white’s only God.

Him again!

 "Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. This was, I guess, Kristi said, a one in five hundred, one in a thousand years, and uh, I just have admiration for the job that everybody did." (Trump) (BuzzFeed)

Reporter: Several families are upset because they’re saying the alerts didn’t go out in time. What do you say to those families?

"Only a bad person would ask a question like that to be honest with you. I don't know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that." (Trump) (BuzzFeed).

Of course, the incompetent, unemotional, psycho, felon, fraudster, lying pig would get defensive and attack a reporter who was trying to get an honest answer from this thug. He, the guy who is deporting babies, cancer victims, pregnant women, non-violent humans without due process, calls this reporter a bad person. Good for that reporter calling Trump out, whose own decisions aided in the delayed response to this tragedy. Missing any sense of conscience, no ability to live in reality, of course, this monster refuses to demonstrate leadership of any kind. 

And isn’t it amazing how a once-in-500 or 1000-year climate event has happened four weeks in a row!

 

 

Who's to BLAME

Grok’s Nazi tirade sparks debate: Who’s to blame when AI spews hate? Antisemitic outbursts from the chatbot promoted by Elon Musk shows how AI companies often face minimal consequences when their projects go rogue. (Washington Post)

Love the question, “…who’s to blame…” it’s Musk we are talking about, the guy who gladly provided the world with a Seig Heil salute, the white supremacist apartheid South African, a once proud member of the Trump Administration…who’s to blame, really!

Is AI so advanced that it cannot be stopped from acting on behalf of its creator, Musk? Is Grok so separate of an entity that a reprogram cannot be implemented to correct the human prejudice flowing from Musk? 

And now, like most Corporations that are deemed people by the Heritage Foundation Supremes, they (The corporations) are suddenly exempt from taking responsibility for the consequences they create. Oh yeah, and this South African wants to start a third political party, calling it the American Party, maybe he left off another word in the name of his new political party, identifying it as the American Nazi Party.

 

  

OBSERVATION

 “White House border czar suggests ICE can detain people based on ‘physical appearance’ Tom Homan’s comments about ICE agents being able to detain people based on “their physical appearance” will likely make racial profiling concerns worse.” (MSNBC)

-----WTF, WHAT THE FUCK, so now we have finally found the truth behind these ICE raids, (as if the normal functioning American did not know this already): it was never about immigrants, rather what THOSE PEOPLE looked like and or sounded like, because THOSE PEOPLE happen to be born with various shades of brown skin.

“Homan said: “Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation, get our typical facts — based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions.”” (MSNBC)

-----He says detain them briefly, whether it is a second, an hour, or days, the only reason they are being illegally detained is due to the OBSERVATIONS of masked ICE Gestapo. No more facts necessary, just one asswipe in ICE clothing deciding I don’t like the look of what’s going on. What is the TOTALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, and when did ICE become the judge and jury of where people gather as to deciding they should be questioned?

What’s next, ICE standing in front of a Democratic candidate's office, deciding that today it’s Democrats they don’t like, or Muslims standing in front of a Mosque, or a group of one too many African Americans standing on the sidewalk of their own neighborhood. What fucking TYPICAL FACTS are these newly appointed Brown Shirts going to gather?

We are already down that road of “PAPER’S PLEASE, and the road ahead seems nothing less than horrifying.

 

 

 

OF COURSE

 “This U.N. document undercuts Trump’s darkest mass deportation claims. El Salvador's government told U.N. investigators that the detainees America shipped to its CECOT maximum security prison are still under U.S. control.” (msnbc.com)

-----Of course they are, and of course they always have been. To lie is to be Trump. Now the real question becomes who has the backbone and balls to call him out on this deceit and demand a return of these detainees? 

“FEMA should be more visible after Texas floods. But that’s not what Trump wants. The acting FEMA director's swaggering bravado might be welcome if he seemed dedicated to carrying out FEMA’s mission. But that doesn't appear to be the reason he was hired. He was hired not to carry out FEMA’s mission but to oversee its demise.” (msnbc.com)

-----Of course, there will be thoughts and prayers, and if more is expected from the Trump Administration, then you might as well be wearing a T-Shirt that says, “I’m With Stupid!” How in the world can the GOP pay for permitting their billionaire puppet masters to remain kings and queens if the GOP must actually care for the lives and liberties of the masses?

OF COURSE, all of these revelations regarding Trump find oxygen, but as has been the case with the real TRUTH compared to Trump’s TRUTH, all we seem to get are the facts and not much else to change the circumstances.

 

 

More headlines

  -----One more statistic to try to beat the COVID-19 deaths during the first Trump Dictatorship. Crowd size is always a big deal to the oversized moron Trump and now his handy side-kick, Brain Worm Kennedy. The Party of Pro-Death loves to see just how many premeditated murders they can commit.

“U.S. sees most single-year measles cases since it declared disease eliminated.” (STAT)

-----He may have left the anti-Semitic, racist administration of Trump, but Musk has not changed his anti-Semitic ways. The South African Apartheid Immigrant hates with pleasure, and with pleasure he will try to persuade the weak-minded to hate exactly as he does. He should name his new Political Party the Confederacy, or the Fourth Reich!

“ELON MUSK’S GROK IS CALLING FOR A NEW HOLOCAUST The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names.” (The Atlantic)

-----Another once in a 100 year climate event has taken place just days after another once-in-a-year climate catastrophe happened. And yet the MAGA minions and their chief nut job, Trump, refuse even to say the words climate change. How many more lives must be ruined and shattered before the will of the people is a priority over the will of the Corporations?

“A state of emergency has been declared in New Mexico as severe flooding sweeps across parts of the state, forcing evacuations, closing roads, and threatening homes and businesses.” (Newsweek)

 

 

Who Is Next

 Border Patrol official sends ominous message to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. After the Trump administration’s militaristic show of force at MacArthur Park, a local Border Patrol official says people “better get used to us now.” (msnbc.com)

The Brownshirts: The Role of the Sturmabteilung (SA) in Nazi Germany The SA were the Sturmabteilung, meaning 'assault division'. The group were also known as the Brownshirts or Storm Troopers. It was a violent paramilitary group attached to the Nazi Party in pre-World War Two Germany. (History Hit)

"Your papers, please" is an expression or trope associated with police state functionaries demanding identification from civilians during random stops or at checkpoints. It is a cultural metaphor for life in a police state. A German soldier in uniform, or a Gestapo agent in plain clothes, would utter the spine-chilling words “Papiere, Bitte” (”Papers, Please”). What made those words spine chilling was the fact that whoever they were uttered to was in imminent danger of arrest, imprisonment, torture, and execution. (Mises Institute).

No longer is it history, the kind of fearful didn’t we learn our lesson once before history, but the entire Fascist/Nazi playbook of authoritarianism nationalism has become our reality our norm. One should beg the question, who is next? 

 

 

 

"Drill Baby"

 Kerr County asked Texas to help pay for a flood warning system for 8 years. (Austin American-Statesman)

But instead, the Texas legislature has a supermajority of Republican/MAGA members who were busy spending their money on taking the rights away from pregnant women, trans kids, banning books, and trying to get the 10 Commandments in Public Schools. No time for the real issues of the day, that would make them too WOKE.

Margie Putin Greene (of Jewish Space Laser Fame) is now sure that THEY (one must wonder who she assumes THEY might be) are seeding the clouds and controlling the weather. Rather than actually say the words climate change, Margie Putin Greene would rather blame an imaginary boogie man for this deadly disaster.

And the ever persistent TWAT of a Texas Governor’s response was that prayers actually stopped the river from cresting and flooding even more land and murdering more people. His response was not to admit that climate change is here to stay, but to insist that more prayers are the only salvation from future devastation. 

And the mantra of Trump and his Republican Brown Shirts is “Drill Baby Drill!”

 

NO EVIDENCE, uh-huh

 Trump Admin’s Epstein Denial Backfires, Revives Elon Musk Allegations. (NewYork)

But of course, the Republican FBI and the Republican DOJ, under the tutelage of Trump, have come to conclusive evidence that there is NO, ZERO, ZILCH evidence that Epstein had a client list, and even though Epstein was under close and intense guards while in jail, that he, Epstein, somehow found the means to commit suicide. Case closed so say Trump and his ass licking sideshow of supposedly serious keepers of the law of the land.

NO EVIDENCE, as in when an AR15-style rifle had shot the so-called Ear of Trump, and no one really got to read the physician's report, and suddenly, after a week of show and tell, the bionic ear mysteriously and miraculously heals.

The lying POTUS makes a living from the con, and he has hired a professional team of cohorts to help spread the lie and let the Conspiracy linger and live. 

No list, and Epstein committed suicide, just like there were two actual assassination attempts on Trump’s life.                         

my GUT hurts

 -----My gut hurts. No, my gut throbs a nagging, painful, lingering pang.

“Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideological.” (msnbc.com)

-----So in Idaho classrooms, not everyone is welcome, just a select few, of course selected by the state Fascists.

-----I have this gnawing burning sensation in my gut. My gut seems to tell my brain, 'Please do not read the news; go hide your head in the sand. We will both feel better.'

“Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.” (msnbc.com)

-----So now, in the next phase toward Fascism, we are building camps, not the kind people enjoy for the summer, but places of concentrated doom.

-----My gut wants to scream, but instead it racks my body with a throbbing and irritable pain.

“The GOP megabill fulfills JD Vance’s incredibly depressing vision of patriotism. The vice president has done as much as anyone in the administration to create the justification for enormously increasing enforcement resources.” (msnbc.com)

-----So now, Herr Vance, following the orders of Herr Trump, has decided the truest form of Democracy is to formulate a Fascist position of armed enforcement, and loyalty not to the Constitution but rather to the Police State.

 

 

 

 

even worse

 The Big Beautiful Bill is BIG, it ain’t beautiful, and it's a bogus bill of sale.

“It gives tax breaks for gun silencers. Should it be easier to shoot someone in the United States? Republicans think yes. Trump's bill throws several favors to gun retailers and lobbyists, most notably the repeal of a $200 tax on firearm suppressors, more commonly known as "silencers.” (RollingStone)

-----So go ahead and purchase that slencer and make your killing spree less pronounced as they pronounce your victim dead.

“It is a disaster for renewable energy — and the economy Trump's bill will have a devastating impact on renewable energy, revoking scores of clean energy subsidies, credits, and grants given to green energy projects -- many in Republican areas.”(RollingStone)

-----Climate change is just a Democrat pipe dream, and the vast amount of floods, tornadoes, droughts, and wildfires are projections from the Left and Progressives. But keep the Oil Cartel healthy.

“It cuts food assistance. Trump's bill slashes spending on SNAP by $287 billion over 10 years. In order to do this, Republicans are making eligibility requirements more exclusionary, instituting new restrictions on federal SNAP funding for states.” (RollingStone)

If you ain’t a fetus located in the womb of the Seed Carrier (the mother), the Republicans have little desire for you to live a full life. If you ain’t born into a wealthy family, well fuck you you poor baby there is no way your life should be made easier, get a job damn it.

concentration camps

 The bill puts over $45 billion into the construction and expansion of detention facilities and transportation, enough money to open up about 116,000 detention beds. The moves would create a migrant holding system that rivals the size of the entire federal prison system. (RollingStone)

-----In other words, the Big Beautiful Bill has appropriated funds to build Concentration Camps throughout America. Cute to use the phrase migrant holding centers, instead of Concentration Camps, as if those of us who have read history books will somehow be fooled just the like the ilk of people who have no idea of Fascism and the Nazi’s

"Once we have an apparatus set up in this manner," says Gupta, "our experience is that it's incredibly challenging to dismantle it -- even if the American public no longer supports such sweeping enforcement and detention." (Nayna Gupta, policy director of the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy organization)”

-----The expectation, like so many other Government bureaucratic blunders, is that once it is alive and functioning as another form of prison and once the corporations are profiting from it, dismantling these Concentration Camps will face an uphill battle. It’s called money in politics, and you know, whichever state owns the land for the Concentration Camps, their local politicians will be paid off.

NEXT...

 Jewish leaders call out President Trump’s use of antisemitic slur. Trump told reporters he didn't know the term “shylocks” was problematic. (MSNBC.com)

Shylock was the greedy Jewish moneylender and main antagonist in Shakespeare’s classic 1600 play “The Merchant of Venice.” The term remains “among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes.” (Jewish Council for Public Affairs)

Trump and his Brown Shirts pretend and arouse the public whenever there is an anti-Israel protest on college campuses, insisting that those folks are antisemites, all the while codling the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the Christian Nationalists. Look at the Leftists shout the MAGA they hate Jews, all the while the Trump Gestapo espouses anti-Semitic tropes over and over again.

The Jews are next in line, I suppose, for this Fascist Dictator, I mean, you have the Brown Immigrants, the Trans community, the LGB demographic, the African Americans, those Women who have the audacity to want ownership of their bodies, the Poor. Hitler singled out the minorities, one by one, until almost anyone who was not supposedly of pure German blood was the enemy.

Miriam Adelson gives $100 million to Trump campaign, making good on reported pledge. Hey Mimi, how the fuck do you feel about your guy using the word “shylocks?” Is your Jewishness different than the rest of us because you spent your money on this Anti-Semite!

 

 

 

the KNOW nothings

 Asked about tax breaks for the wealthy and cuts to Medicaid, most of the American mainstream will say, “No thanks.” (It’s notable that the megabill is only popular with those who know effectively nothing about it.) (msnbc.com)

THOSE WHO EFFECTIVELY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT…That sentence says it all in the world of American Politics. The matter of fact is that for the MAGA voter, facts don’t matter, and what matters is that as long as they believe harm will come to others, the MAGA minions and cultists remain oblivious that in fact they too are the OTHER!

The suffering will begin in earnest, and for the first time in Republican history, “TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS will actually take place. Trickle down, as in, after the wealthy and corporations receive their feast of money, the leftovers and scraps will fall upon everyone else. And more and more Americans will actually discover what it is to be living at the bottom of the barrel.

gets a whole lot worse

 “House GOP holdouts fall in line, agree to bring Trump agenda to floor.” (CNN)

-----The Trump Reign of Terror continues in broad daylight, and his reign of death and destruction has been welcomed by the Republican Party, placing their own personal interests above and beyond the people.            

“That includes some House hardliners who have complained that the package would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, as well as moderate-leaning members who have concerns about Medicaid cuts.” (CNN)

-----The deficit grows because the billionaire puppet masters have enough money to bribe the politicians, but never enough money to pay their fair share of taxes. People will suffer and perhaps die because of their basic rights to decent and affordable health care, having been dissolved by the Republican Party of Pro-Death.

And even more frightening are the myriad details and new laws hidden in this Fascist Bill, from voting rights, to providing the President with more powers, and of course, the kind of immigration plans to evict anyone that the Trump Administration considers its enemy.

As bad as it has been for America and Americans it is about to get a whole lot worse."

fight back

 Distract, Discredit, Divide are three directives flowing from the sewer, which is Trump and his administration of “Brown Shirts, and the MAGA Gestapo.

Add to that “Look Over There,” “The Other,” and Hypocrisy and you have the intended cruelty, deceit, and authoritarianism demonstrated by the Republican Party. 

Throw in the rot and ruin filtered down from the Heritage Foundation’s Supreme Court Justices, the purposeful lies and fabrications from the State-run propaganda of FOX Noise, and the sheer ignorance and indulgence of racism and bigotry from the MAGA world and its cadre of voters and we have a bullseye target to rid this nation of Democratic principles evolving into Christian Nationalism and German style Fascism.

I am not certain how the rest of WE THE PEOPLE fight this cancer, but remaining quiet, or silent, or ignoring any or all of it is something that anyone who loves freedom, choice, science, education, liberty, and justice can not afford to do

Awaiting

 Trump's absence from slain Minnesota lawmaker's funeral goes beyond indifference. Trump refuses to use a key opportunity to turn down the temperature on political violence. (msnbc.com)

Trump has no intention of turning down the political violence; he thrives on the chaos and the opportunity to avoid his deficits in governing. Trump understands the values of a divided nation and will continue to tear this nation apart. He has also militarized his followers into examples of the ‘Brown Shirts’ and has made parts of his administration into a form of the Gestapo.

With permission from the entire Republican cadre of politicians, with the assistance of the majority of so-called Justices within the Supreme Court, the case of bleeding our nation dry of democracy is in Trump’s favor, and the gutting of this nation’s moral fiber is life-threatening.

As I write this, my gut aches, and I must wonder if there is a chance to stop this mass murder of freedoms, liberties, and justice, or are we all just victims awaiting our turn to become “THE OTHER?”

 

 

 

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 

MAGA Influencers

 Threat of Iranian ‘sleeper cells’ provokes paranoia among MAGA influencers. (MSNBC)

WTF, seriously WTF, to think that our national policies are being directed and orchestrated by a group of inept, inbred, idiots known as MAGA influencers.

From Podcaster and failed comedian Joe Rogan to some lady who named Laura Loomer, to Tucker Carlson, add to that the entire faux news crew from FOX, and criminals pardoned by Trump, the daily decisions of life, death, liberty, and fascism are being held as truth by Trump and his hand-picked MAGA Gestapo.

None of these people were elected, and none of them have much in the way of credentials, except that they have followers on the Internet. Most of these people are only out for their own 15 minutes of fame. 

Add to all of that that any anticipated Executive action is first announced on Truth Social, usually ALL IN CAPS.       

There is so much to be worried about, and now we have the added burden of including the comments and commentary of NO BODIES identifying themselves as MAGA INFULENCERS. HELP!

Numbers

 Earlier this month, Kennedy removed all 17 sitting members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and appointed eight new members, some of whom have been critics of shots -- especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. (abc News)

Under Donald Trump's presidency, the U.S. COVID-19 death toll reached approximately 400,000 by the time he left office on January 19, 2021. (abc News)

----The Trump Administration is all about the size of crowds. Perhaps this year, what with Covid, and the large array of other life-saving vaccines being ignored, the Trump Administration, under the tutelage of Brian Worm Kennedy, wants to increase the number of people who will die an unnecessary death.

According to a draft agenda published online, the committee will hold votes on maternal/pediatric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines and RSV vaccines under the federal Vaccines for Children program. (abc News)

----Brain Worm Kennedy and his slew of faux scientists and medical witch doctors seem to like most other members of the Republican Pro-Death Party give zero shits about the fetus and the zygote once they are released from the womb. And we suffer the consequences of these fools.

 

both FREDDY and JASON

 ----This is not Nightmare on Elm Street, but Trump certainly is playing the role of Freddy Krueger. We are not asleep but awake and living a DAYMARE with the worst ghoul around acting as tour guide.

“Trump’s Bizarre Use of ‘N-Word’ as He Calls Putin ‘THE BOSS’ The president fired off a rambling social media post as multiple conflicts rage. “(The Daily Beast)

We are in a frightening worldwide disorder, and who do we have in charge of this nation but Jason from Friday the 13^th?

It ain’t Halloween, but the goblins, devils, monsters, and creatures are parading up and down our streets pretending for us not to bother ourselves with the stuff going on in Iran. It’s just American might, and it’s easy peazy, as in wham BAM, ma’am, we did it, and now all the possible bloody scenarios are over.

The creeps are in our neighborhoods, our cities, or nations, our homes, and no one is really gonna be safe from Freddy and Jason.

 

 

The "UTZ"

 “Trump's Iran strikes meet bipartisan blowback in Congress over war powers.” (AXIOS)

-----One more defiant action by the Dictator in Chief to run the country his way.

“No matter what Trump says, the US has gone to war – and there will be profound and lasting consequences.” (The Guardian)

----Once upon a time, Congress was the checks and balances for Presidential chaos, but this time the majority in Congress of Pro-Death Republicans are a part of the chaos, and they are spineless traitors.

“Trump Issues Grave Warning to Reporters: ‘You Are in Danger’ “You’re even in danger talking to me right now,” he said. “Do you know that? You are in danger talking to me right now, so I should probably get out of here. But you guys are actually in danger. Can you believe it?” Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that Trump has offered “danger” as a reason to end an interview.” (The Daily Beast)

-----Threatening the Media as they try to find some answers, secure some facts, acting upon the freedom of the press, only to indirectly be threatened by a mad man who has no time for truth and a disdain toward democracy.

I feel hopeless, helpless, as just an average American citizen, suffering from a UTZ in my gut (a UTZ is a term my Grandmother used to describe the ability to want to change something, but the inability of the universe to let that change happen), I see AUTHORITARIANISM blossoming, Fascism rising, and find myself unable to change this horrible path forward.

 

 

VANCE

 Vance defends using military to quell protests, refers to Sen. Alex Padilla as ‘José’ (USA TODAY)

Be afraid of Vance, this power-hungry, self-serving hypocrite is smart enough to understand the value of hate, division, and the common language spoken by the stupid and bigoted. An arrogant twat of a politician he may pretend to Trump’s scene dream of America First, but in the end it is Vance First and foremost. The same guy who insisted that Haitians were eating dogs and cats in Springfield now has slyly and with tremendous slime decided that any person with a Hispanic-sounding last name should be called Jose; it’s Vance’s mean-spirited intention to insult and demean.

Ain’t no way that when the next insurrection comes around, the Domestic Terrorists will shout “hang Vance” as did Mike Pence, because JD has done a great job of eating Trump’s entrails and acting the part of Trump’s boy.

Be afraid because the second in command of this nation is far more intelligent, cunning and calculating than his Lord and Master. I know I fear JD Vance.

BIGOTRY

 Because as the country celebrated the end of slavery on the federal holiday, Trump took to Truth Social in the evening and appeared to complain about it all. “Too many non-working holidays in America,” he wrote. “It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (PennLive.com)

The blatancy of Trump’s racism grows bolder and bolder each and every day he embraces a return to the days of the Confederacy, and the racist policies and pogroms that fueled the bigotry and hatred of slave owners and segregationists. 

Exactly what color skin are the majority of Immigrants, citizens, legal immigrants, and illegals being kidnapped by the SS, oops, I mean, ICE; brown skinned people are the target. When Trump adds that he wants to make America great again, what America is he referring to, the days of WHITES ONLY? 

In MAGA land, it seems that unless you are a White Christian Nationalist Male, with a White Christian Nationalist Babe in tow, a Captain in your house calling all the shots, and insisting your Gal has a bun in her White oven, as often as possible, you ain’t great enough for America!

NEXT...

 When the Supreme Court upheld a ban on gender-affirming care for minors Wednesday, it didn’t resolve a broader question of whether transgender people are entitled to certain legal protections that would help them press constitutional challenges. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett went out of her way to explain why she thinks transgender people don’t deserve such protection. (MSNBC)

Transgender people are now being classified as non-Americans, non-human, and eventually non-citizens. Justice Coney Barrett has decided to play the role of God and decree who has rights and who doesn’t, making Justices Alito and Thomas seem like saints.

Two distinct laws passed in Nazi Germany in September 1935 are known collectively as the Nuremberg Laws: the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. These laws embodied many of the racial theories underpinning Nazi ideology. They would provide the legal framework for the systematic persecution of Jews in Germany. (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

The ugly wheel of racism, Christian Nationalism, and Fascism has begun to veer straight into the protections afforded by our Constitution and our once impermeable democracy.

While the Nuremberg Laws specifically mentioned only Jews, the laws eventually extended to Black people and Roma and Sinti (Gypsies) living in Germany. The definition of Jews, Black people, and Roma as racial aliens facilitated their persecution in Germany. (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

WE all watch in shock and awe just how easily any one of us can suddenly be considered “THE OTHER,” regarding the Republican Party of Pro-Death.
