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.
