 TSA announces PreCheck is open, hours after DHS said it would close amid shutdown. Homeland Security previously said it was taking “emergency measures to preserve limited funds,” including ending TSA PreCheck lanes. (MS NOW)

The Gnomes working for the Cosplay Noam, under the tutelage of the Heir Trump, thought they had a GOTCHA’ moment, a real zinger, if you will, by trying to sock it to the average American by fucking up the entire TSA security system. Trump is always looking for revenge every time he is told the word NO, or the idea that he and his cohorts are nothing but bull shit, exemplified, decided that if they fuck up the already fucked up TSA boarding system, that Americans would en masse demand that the Democrats acquiesce and abandon their requirement to fund DHS, further would mean, no masks, body cams, and identification of Trumps Private Army. (Why the fuck these goons have been permitted to remain masked, and unidentified still mystifies me).

Rather than actually agree to providing faces and names and identities of the Trump Army, Trump and his Fascists would rather defy logic, and remain Nazi-like. Thus, the idea that making an already tenuous system of TSA worse was something that Trump and his Fascists prioritized. But alas, alack, it backfired.

How easy it would have been to do the right thing and have this group of thugs identify themselves, but this is the Trump Reich, and evil is the priority!

 

Like a Parasite

 “The idea of the government monitoring your social media activity if you’re critical of their current moves is unnerving yet unfortunately not totally illegal.” “The government reviewing social media posts has been happening for, I think, over a decade, looking at it for people coming in for visas, immigration, things like that. But what I’ve been seeing a lot is they’re starting to use administrative [subpoenas] to go after anybody that’s critical,” said Dave Chronister, CEO of Parameter Security. (HuffPost)

This article from HuffPost is terrifying for me; it seems to make my most perceived nightmares of a dystopian America turn into reality. Inch by inch, step by calculated step, the Trump Reichstadt, the paranoid, insecure, anti-democracy-oriented gang of goons who support a wanna be dictator, Trump, has the power to bully, intimidate, and send to prison any and all of us who demonstrate an iota of dissent and disagreement with their perverted policies.

The first attack has been against the Media, and the censorship implemented to stop any truth from being spoken or any facts from being told. The next attack has been on the citizens of this nation, from protesting to gathering peacefully to exercise free speech in disagreement with the Government's policies. Then, Due Process has almost been eliminated, another Police State tactic. This President has insisted that gerrymandered districts be created, not for the fairness of the populations living in those districts, but to help him maintain his spineless bunch of Republicans in the majority.

And now this, a plan to intimidate and preferably cripple any single American citizen from speaking up, speaking out, speaking against Trump and his Gestapo tactics in making America Fascist.

Authoritarianism is like a parasite, it is like cancer, it is like a poison; its intention is to inhabit, destroy, and finally bring death. In this case, its ultimate goal is to end Democracy. And oh, yeah, a whole lot of this could be stopped in its tracks, if the CEO’s and Boards of Directors, Billionaires, and the Republicans in the majority actually place the US Constitution above and beyond their profits and personal gain.

 

 

 

accusation is projection

 EVERY ACCUSATION IS A PROJECTION. This phrase, for me, sums up each and every word falling from the orange dyed lips of the malignant narcissist known as Donald Trump!

Trump expressed deep disappointment with the Supreme Court's ruling that struck down his global tariffs, calling the decision a "disgrace" and stating that the justices should be "ashamed" for their lack of courage. He criticized both the justices he appointed and those appointed by others, claiming the court was influenced by foreign interests and vowing to find alternative methods to impose tariffs. (BBC)

Trump has said, once again, his hidden truth out loud, by accusing the Supremes of being influenced by foreign interests. As if the normally intelligent population of America did not already know that those nominated by Republican presidents to the highest court in the land were not first vetted by the interests of Right-Wing Neo Fascist Nationalistic Christians. The Heritage Foundation has taken great bragging rights on the ownership of Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh. And lack of courage is another goodie, falling from the lips of the man who, God only knows, is owned and operated by both foreign and domestic terrorists’ billionaires.

The first time Trump has been scolded by the Supreme Court, and his hissy fit is another projection of this man’s inability to ever face the fact that he is wrong and has broken the law. Trump, never one to comply with the Constitution, when it does not suit his Fascist goals, is pouting that at least some of the Heritage Foundation, and perhaps foreign-owned Justices, actually did the right thing, lashed out!

Now, the rest of America and the rest of the world must face his demented war of revenge. It would be so easy if Congress, as in the Republican majority would stand up for the Constitution and pass into law, a law already written that it is Congress and only Congress who can issue taxes, and tariffs!

 

 

show him the money

 President Trump has announced a transfer of $10 billion in taxpayer funds to his newly created "Board of Peace" aimed at rebuilding Gaza, alongside additional pledges from other countries. However, the specifics of how this money will be used and the need for congressional approval remain unclear. (RollingStone)

The budget of the Board of Peace is primarily controlled by Donald Trump, who exercises significant authority over its decision-making and financial matters. (justsecurity.org)

Once again, Trump’s “Art of the Deal” is on full frontal display, right before our eyes! $10 billion dollars of my money, your money, our money (yes, even you MAGA rodents, your money) is suddenly removed from the US Treasury and moved into some bank account for which Trump and only Trump has the power of the purse.

No paper trail is necessary, no oversight review, no Congressional rebuttal, just $10 billion conveniently and griftingly made available for Trump to use and abuse as he, and only he, wishes to do so!

Making America Great Again, so Trump pontificates, and his Republican acolytes approve, all the while smiling in the faces of his Populist supporters, who have no idea the only one Trump is and ever has supported is TRUMP!

 

another day, one more grift

 Deficit, but not for the Klansmen and women working inside the Trump Inner Sanctum of fraud and scam. Nope, spending taxpayers' dollars on their own frivolous machinations makes them more of a proud Trumpian sycophant, and of course, one hell of a Trumpian hypocrite!

“FBI Director Kash Patel flew today on the FBI’s Gulfstream jet bound for a trip to the winter Olympics in Italy to watch one of his favorite sports: men’s ice hockey, according to three people familiar with his plans.” Patel, an avid hockey player and fan, will be at the Olympic festivities and plans to attend the bronze medal competition in men’s ice hockey on Saturday and the competition for the gold medal on Sunday, the people said. (MS NOW)

Chump change, yeppers, nothing to see here, come on now, the FBI Director has worked long and hard in not solving any cases of missing people, kidnapped, or breaking the laws, not of course the laws that Trump breaks!

“Government accounts estimate it costs U.S. taxpayers at least $5,000 per flight hour for the FBI Gulfstream to fly, meaning Patel’s trip to Milan is likely to cost as much as $75,000.” (MS NOW)

But, seriously, you American dupes and dopes, this trip by Patel, who loves himself some hockey ain’t at all about Patel’s love for hockey, nope, this man is doing some work for the American people, he deserves a medal for giving up his time.

“FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson tweeted late Thursday that Patel’s trip was not personal and he was invited months ago.” (MS NOW)

Wonder if Patel’s girlfriend will be joining him, and wonder what the added cost of her security, her dining habits, and Patel’s preferred touristy things will cost. The Trumpian grift is no longer hidden; to grift off of the American taxpayer is, in Trump-Landia, a badge of pride!

 

"look over there, again"

 “US Amasses Forces as Trump Says Iran Has Just Days for Deal” (Bloomberg)

Must be some crucial Epstein rape and abuse information ready to finally float to the top of what has been Pammy Bondi’s illegal attempt to protect the pedophiles.

In January 2017, at a luncheon with congressional leaders immediately following his inauguration, Trump gave a shoutout to the military leaders he put in his Cabinet -- specifically, John Kelly and James Mattis, both retired four-star Marine generals. He called them "my generals" and declared: "These are central casting. If I'm doing a movie, I'd pick you generals." He boasted to the congressional leaders the men "are going to keep us so safe."

Trump, similar to the wealthy men who either dressed as women or just pushed women and children as the Titanic was sinking, just to save themselves, will do whatever has to be done to remain president, and definitely remain out of jail. He tried invading Greenland, then invaded Venezuela as the really nasty details emerged of Trump’s pedophilia with Epstein.

Donald Trump has faced criticism for making disparaging remarks about U.S. military service members, including calling fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers." These comments were reported in a 2020 article and have since been confirmed by former officials, prompting significant backlash from veterans and the public. (PBS)

Trump’s useful Troops, the men and women he savagely disses, dismisses, and has great disdain for, become useless tools as he runs for cover once again. And has always been the case with Trump and his Republican Pedophile Protectors in Congress, he is using the “look over there” ploy hoping just as it has worked in the past it will work wonders now!

 

Where have you been?

 Christian leaders accuse Trump admin of promoting faith ‘corrupted’ by nationalism. In a statement, nearly 400 reverends, bishops and theologians argued that Trump’s policies are pushing the U.S. toward “authoritarian and imperial rule.” (MS NOW)

Ya ’think!  Ya’ never thunk this before now? And only 400 of you, reverends, bishops, and theologians out of thousands and thousands have NOW come to this conclusion! HOLY shit, suddenly, as in not the minute Trump somehow won a second term (I truly wish there were enough Internet sleuths to delve into the Immigrant Musk, attempts as the one who predicted Trumps victory way ahead of any polls), it has dawned on your religious brains, that the man who is a racist, a 34-count felon, an accused sexual harasser, a man mention thousands of times in the Epstein Files, the man who has his cabinet members, ban free speech, band the rights to protest, who is readily enabling undemocratic rigging of elections, and who counts as his besties, the worsties of dictators and mercenaries.

Suddenly, the 400 hundred of you accuse Trump of corruption, of promoting corruption, the guy who languishes in corruption and grift! Okay, good start, a very late start, if ya’ ask me. And now what the 400 hundred of you, seriously, now what? Any ideas to convince the rest of your buds wearing the religious cloth to finally place their faith above the phony?
