More of the same

Ted Cruz condemns GOP antisemitism as conservative infighting grows. The Texas Republican decried the rise of antisemitism within his party. Cruz’s comments also come in the wake of Tucker Carlson’s friendly chat with Nick Fuentes — a white supremacist who has said he loves Hitler. (msnbc/opinion)

As an American who, among many attributes of my life, happens to be Jewish, I am not shocked by Cruz’s sudden revelation regarding the love of Nazi’s and Fascism by the Republican Party…I am, of course, disgusted, but Trump himself has surrounded himself with Nazi types for a long time, so once he gave the “okee doe kee” to chum around antisemites, his followers and voters just followed suit. 

As an American who, among many attributes of my life, happens to be Pro-Democracy, I am not shocked by Tucker Carlson’s love for Nazis, as he has made his antisemitic and pro Fascist philosophy very clear each and every time he speaks. However, I am dismayed that he still has sponsors who remain quiet about this kind of hate.

It has been very clear where the Republican Party is heading. They need the Nick Fuentes and the Charlie Kirks so that the Republicans can continue to intimidate and bully and eventually divide America and Americans. The Republican base is a cauldron full of bigots, haters, and Fascists.

Hey Mariam Adelson, you are Jewish, you gave $100 million to the Trump campaign, and your Adelson Family has donated to the Trump Ballroom…does any of this even phase you? Or do you actually believe your wealth will keep you safe?

 

 

  

he don't care!

 Shutdown effects bear down on millions more people after crucial deadline passes. Despite a judge's ruling ordering the administration to fund SNAP benefits, President Donald Trump said that November's payments were likely to be delayed. (NBC News)

 But the East Wing continues to be demolished. But the Trump/Epstein Ballroom continues to go forward. The $40 billion bailout was to buy the presidency in Argentina. The Congress, even when not in session, continues to get paid. Trump’s golf trips and overseas trips continue to get reimbursed. Oh yeah, and ICE agents, Trump’s newly minted Secret Police, continue to get paid.  

Another program that will be forced to shutter in states across the country is Head Start, which provides free learning programs, health screenings and meals to young children from low-income families. (NBC News)

Trump must prefer hurting people, so he can remain in place, shooting fishing vessels, invading blue cities, and having Pam Bondi weaponize the Justice Department. Trump must prefer homelessness, unemployment, extravagant health insurance, and starvation just to keep the Epstein Files from being released.

And all of his Christian Nationalists remain silent, pretending to be Pro-Life by eliminating abortion rights, attacking Trans People, and profiling people of color. 

Trump and fellow Fascists had no intention of making America great again; their only sociopathic intentions were to increase the divide between the wealthy and the poor, to increase racism, and to eliminate any hope for anyone who is not them.
