South African racists welcomed by America’s racist King, Trump! Bring back the Confederacy!

Fascism is when the LEADER, or his subordinates, dictate what is news and what is forbidden. Fascists are those who eagerly play dumb and follow their LEADERS’ orders. Remember, “I was just following orders,” a timeless excuse for Fascists!

The U.S. economy contracted for the first time in three years in the first quarter, swamped by a flood of imports as businesses raced to avoid higher costs from tariffs and underscoring the disruptive nature of President Donald Trump's often chaotic trade policy. (Reuters)

A Fraud/Carny/ Snake Oil Salesman/Con Artist is someone who has no idea about anything but pontificates loudly and bigly that he is the wisest and smartest person in the room. A Cult leader is the same person who can still fool an adoring KLAN of his followers into believing that reality is fake, and everything fake is real.

 

 

100 DAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 Trump’s Horrific First 100 Days. One hundred days into Donald Trump’s presidency, the United States finds itself in crisis.

Trump’s administration is hell-bent on dismantling due process. It disdains judicial oversight of its acts of executive overreach. Trump is subjecting people around the country and the world to economic upheaval because of his quack economic impulses. White-collar criminals are in luck, while the country’s public institutions face devastating cuts. (HUFFPOST)

100 DAYS AND FOR ME IT FEELS LIKE A LIFETIME…MY LIFETIME…TO BE EXACT!

Hundreds of Executive Orders, hundreds of freedoms and liberties were thwarted, hundreds of people were deported, and hundreds of people were unemployed.

It would never be an Executive Presidency, but rather an Imperial Presidency. Trump made that clear during his first attempt as a fascist dictator. Those who supported him financially gave zero shits regarding Democracy, preferring an Oligarchy, and those who pretended that their God told them to do so preferred a Theocracy.

I will remain loud and never be silent, but honestly, how does this worst-case scenario end? 

The Emperor

 Trump Gets Called Out in Front of Millions at Pope’s Funeral Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re used the homily to criticize the president, who was seated in the front row to hear it. (The Daily Beast) 

And I am delighted that it happened. Hey Emperor, you are a fat, out-of-shape old man, and guess what, dude, you ain’t wearing any clothes!

In the recent Time magazine cover story on the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term, a presidential aide explained the president's revenge strategy: "Look, either we come after you, we shut you down, or you're going to help me out."

And then you have the Republicans, the Tech Bros, the Mainstream Media, who will go along with these MOB BOSS antics, pretending that there is nothing to see here, and that the Emperor is wearing clothes. No spine, no backbone, no genitals, self-serving servitude toward a BULLY, who, when confronted, does back down…except these folks are also in it for themselves.

The Chinese, Harvard, and a few select law firms have all fought back, called out Trump's bluff, and they won the battle against an out-of-control, megalomaniacal, psychotic narcissist…and won. As Trump might say, won BIGLY!

 

 

Turning Cheeks

 During his homily, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re echoed Pope Francis’ call to “build bridges, not walls." During President Trump’s 2016 election campaign, when he promised to build a wall at the Mexican border, Pope Francis said, "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian." (msnbc.com)

Which kind of Christian was the Cardinal talking about? The MAGA Christian, where the more walls are built, the closer you believe you are to your God? The Trump kind of Christianity, as in the show and tell, and Heritage Foundation kind of Christian, where the more you hate, the closer you become to your God? Or the ALL-AMERICAN kind of Christian, where, as long as you define the other in negative terms, and scapegoat them with great ease, you believe you will become closer to your God, and of course, you will never be found out to be a fraud?

Where is the noise from the Christian leadership within America, who say they prefer bridges rather than walls? Where is the outrage, the LOUD, noise from the American Christian leadership as they watch not only the Trump wrecking ball come for the Constitution and Democracy, but also for their own religion. This is no time to turn the other cheek, because when you do, there will be no turning back!

Becoming THEM

 Donald Trump Supporters Are Waking Up To The Reality Of Their Ballot Choices, And The Stories Are A Loooooot (BuzzFeed)

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” —Martin Niemöller

They NOW pretend that they never ever suspected a Fraud, a 34-count Felon, a sexual predator, a proven liar, could be so underhanded, would treat the mere MAGA with the same disdain as the un-MAGA, or would have the audacity to intervene so negatively in their supposed all-American MAGA lives.

It was always about THE OTHER for the Trump voters…they were sure that they, OF COURSE, were unlike the Immigrants, the Jews, the Trans People, the LGB Americans, the People of Color, the Feminists… I mean, they voted for republicans, they voted for their Messiah, Trump!

The Devil is a great Con Artist, understanding that Americans are all about US versus THEM…but always knowing there is and will always be a THEM.

 

 

 

 

 

The PEOPLE

 The ‘Never Surrender’ President Retreats

The White House tempered its position on key issues this week, as polling suggests voters are souring on Trump’s steering of the economy. (The Wall Street Journal)

It is called FIGHT BACK, BE LOUD, SILENCE EQUALS DEATH…

This Fascist leaning monster, this MAGA Bully, this AUTHORITARIAN Dictator can be stopped…not by the Republicans in Congress, and so far not by the weak-kneed Democrats, but by the PEOPLE, and certainly not by the Heritage Foundation Puppet Majority sitting in the Supreme Court, but by THE PEOPLE.

Be it Harvard, the select few brave Law Firms, or the community of Democracy, proud citizens, if we just say NO, if we just say ENOUGH, if we just demand integrity and HONESTY, he can be stopped. 

He is a coward; he knows he has an army of MAGA, but we must make the army of the FREEDOM FIGHTERS fear. DO NOT GENTLY INTO THIS GOODNIGHT GO!

FELON TO FELON

 Nevada’s Michele Fiore was already a notorious right-wing political figure when her career took a turn for the worse last summer: Fiore was indicted last July on a series of felonies, and the case against her appeared strong. (msnbc.com)

FELONIES, OF COURSE SHE WOULD BE PARDONED BY A 34-COUNT FELON!

Fiore used her position as a Las Vegas city councilor to raise money for a seemingly good cause: The Republican said she wanted to build a statue memorializing a police officer who’d been killed while on duty. The statue, however, was never built. Instead, according to the criminal indictment, Fiore used the money to pay fundraising bills, subsidize her rent, pay for plastic surgery, and even help cover the expenses of her daughter’s wedding. (msnbc.com)

SOUNDS FAMILIAR, AS IN TRUMP SUPPORTING CRIMINALS WHO STEAL FROM CHARITIES USING THAT MONEY TO LAVISH THEIR OWN PERSONAL LIFESTYLES…I MEAN TRUMP JUNIOR AND HIS DUFUS BROTHER ERIC DID THE SAME THING BY STEALING MONEY FROM A CANCER CHARITY FOR KIDS!

MAYBE WE NEED TO TAKE A FRESH NEW LOOK AT PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS…AND MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A VERY REAL LOOK AT HOW THE FUCK A 34-COUNT FELON CAN BE PERMITTED TO BE A PRESDIENT. WITH HIM IT IS ALWAYS “BIRDS OF A FEATHER, FUCKING FLOCKING TOGETHER!”
