She ain't in a vacuum

 “If Pam Bondi’s goal when testifying before Congress on Wednesday was to put to rest the controversy over her department’s mishandling of the Epstein files, she failed badly. But if the attorney general just wanted to impress Donald Trump, she probably succeeded. (MS NOW)”

Ms. Pedophile Protector, Bondi did a resounding job of imitating a bratty three-year-old whose only retort to any inference of reality is “I am so what about you!” I was not the slightest bit shocked or surprised at this Trump protégée’s behavior, as Bondi is so far up Trump’s ass that both Just Dance Vance and Little Marco have to plant their tents inside the Orange Man’s ass, feet away!

“And that is what she revealed under oath. She revealed a department more animated by partisan defense than by moral clarity. She revealed an instinct to protect power rather than pursue truth and justice. She revealed that, in this moment, loyalty appears to carry more weight than accountability. (MS NOW)”

And even more NOT surprising or shocking was the willingness to permit Pedophile Protecting Bondi to avoid, deflect, ignore, and lie by the Republicans sitting on the Judicial Committee, (whose chairman is none other than Gym Jordan, who has still not answered the request for his own subpoena regarding January 6^th.) So much pitiful, pathetic, permitted, painful behavior by Bondi. And America, all of this could end immediately if the Majority in both Houses of Congress would actually remove Bondi for ignoring their law, and then immediately send her to prison for breaking the law.

So, let us please REMEMBER that neither the Pedophile Trump, nor his Pedophile Protector, remain in power, if a majority of the Republican majority in Congress gave more of a fuck for the victims and less of a fuck about their own political futures.

 

 

 

 

 

Oops she did it again, purposely

 Making her first appearance before the panel since the Justice Department said it had released all of the documents related to Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, Bondi accused the Democrats on the committee who pressed her on the handling of the files of “theatrics.” She shouted repeatedly and deflected lawmakers’ questions, pointing to the Dow Jones and Nasdaq averages among other unrelated topics. (MS NOW)

I find Trump revolting. I find it difficult to even watch parodies of Trump, intentional videos of Trump showcasing his dementia, his racism, his narcissism, his sheer bewilderment at being alive. But more recently, it has been his lackeys, his puppets, who are probably even more sinister and evil than Trump, because they, if they so desired, could step up and say, this is wrong, this is anti-American, this is criminal, this is Fascism. One of his most disgusting and hateful marionettes is Pam Bondi. She appeared in front of the House, and to no one’s surprise, she deferred, she deflected, and she once again got away with never having to answer any question she knew would find her in contempt of anything civil or anything in the interest of Americans.

“Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did,” Massie said, referring to an email the DOJ released that contained a list of victim names that were supposed to remain private. “They’re getting phone calls. A lot of these people didn’t want to be known.” (MS NOW)

There are myriad Enemies of the State hand-picked by Trump serving on his Cabinet, and I would say most to many of them are nothing more than sleazy hacks, easily manipulated by Don the Con, idiots who sought power, and who have demonstrated their willingness to break any norm and in some cases any law, necessary to keep the Fascist Trump as President. But for me, it is Pam Bondi, who takes the cake in each and every day, providing America with her middle finger. And yet, like Trump, she remains in power because 99.9% of the Republican majority give no shits about anything but their own powers and privileges.

 

Laura, history will repeat itself

Laura Loomer criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, claiming it wasn't "white enough" and made derogatory remarks about immigrants. Her comments sparked backlash, as many pointed out inaccuracies in her claims about the performance. (LGBTQ Nation)

The Nazis promoted a racial ideology that categorized Jews as a separate and inferior race, which they deemed "non-white." This belief was rooted in antisemitism and aimed to justify discrimination and persecution against Jewish people during their regime. (United States Holocaust Museum) 

I am an American who happens, among the many other attributes I have, to be Jewish. Laura Loomer is also an American who is Jewish. Laura Loomer, as I see it, is a disgrace as a Jewish American, a person who somehow thinks that because she supports and idolizes a wanna be Fascist, Trump, she is somehow a different kind of Jew. You know, one of the guys who proudly supports a Nazi philosophy.

I am sick and tired of Jewish Americans pretending that because they wear a red MAGA hat, no one within the MAGA Gestapo will notice them, that somehow if they demonstrate the same kind of bigotry and racism as the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers, their Judaism will seem okay and accepted.

Enough of these Jewish Americans who pretend that their shit does not stink in the eyes of the MAGA, as if somehow the antisemitism demonstrated and deployed by the White Supremacists that love and adore Hier Trump will not descend on them. Laura Loomer said the Super Bowl halftime show was not white enough, oh Laura, Jewish girlfriend, start reading history, because aside from being true, it DOES REPEAT ITSELF! 

Stuff like this alos matters

  “If the reports are true that not all governors are invited to these events, which have historically been productive and bipartisan opportunities for collaboration, we will not be attending the White House dinner this year,” the Democrats wrote. “Democratic governors remain united and will never stop fighting to protect and make life better for people in our states.” (The Associated Press)

Stories like this matter. They matter a great deal in the day and age we find ourselves, just trying to survive. Stories like this matter because once again, Trump is not trying to find compromise, is not interested in bipartisanship, and is doing his best to maintain his authoritarian goals by excluding the minority party from any decision-making. Trump knows very well that he has control over the Republicans, and that, in effect, the Republicans in Congress have been neutered, and left as hostages to the whims, wants, and whims of Heir Trump. 

If indeed any single Republican had any single backbone or spine left in their body, they would loudly vocalize their disagreement with this Fascist dictator, and say, if the Democrats are uninvited, then I uninvite myself. A mob boss knows fully well that if he maintains control, then all of his army of mobsters will obey any and all commands. Oh, and by the way, Hitler also understood this form of coercion, and that is why his mob used the excuse that they were just following orders.

Trump will exclude anyone who dares stand up to him; most bullies prefer it that way, and just like the Republicans in Congress, the Republican Governors have placed their political futures above and beyond the welfare of their citizens.

This matters because this is yet one more guardrail being tread upon, moving us one more step closer to Trump’s complete Fourth Reich!

 

 

 

Hopefully a real effort

 “Our position has been clear: Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Monday when asked if he would support a short-term funding patch for DHS. “Period. Full stop.” (MS NOW)

Finally, hopefully, the Democrats will take a stand for the Constitution of the US, will speak up against the cascade of human rights violations against American citizens, and will take an honest look at the debacle created and conceived by Trump in order to keep his flock of racists and bigots supporting Trump’s desire to become a lifetime dictator of America.

Child detention in ICE facilities up six-fold under Trump: Marshall Project. (MS NOW)

So if the intention, as lied about by Trump and his team of Racist Fascists led by Stephen Himmler Miller, was to eradicate from our shores, the worst of the worst, such as rapists, drug lords, drug dealers, and gang members, why have so many children held in American Concentration Camps? That is not a real question, more of a rhetorical comment, stating clearly for all of the MAGA out there who are just hateful individuals, that you and your President and his fodder of fools, never ever were interested in the worst of the worst, instead, you and they just desired to rid this nation of people who have brown and black skin.

DHS doc shows less than 14% detained by ICE have criminal history. (MS NOW)

And to prove the point that Trump’s intention was never to make America great again, all Trump and his American Gestapo intended to do was try to make America white! If by now you still support the current efforts of DHS, you are admitting that you to are an insecure hateful Racist!

Is it already too late

 “Trump Is Making It Easier To Fire Federal Workers Who Disagree With Him. A new rule will face legal battles, but would make “resistance” to Trump policies — like saying climate change is real — a fireable offense.” (HuffPost)

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt raised eyebrows and sparked concerns on Tuesday with her use of a single word while responding to questions about President Donald Trump’s call for Republicans to nationalize voting.

Leavitt was asked by a reporter to clarify whether Trump believes elections should remain under state control. “The president believes in the United States Constitution,” Leavitt replied. Then she added: “However, he believes there has obviously been a lot of fraud and irregularities that have taken place in American elections, and again, voter ID is a highly popular and common-sense policy that the president wants to pursue, and he wants to pass legislation to make that happen for all states across the country.” (HuffPost)

The Führer is planting his foundational roots of Authoritarianism deeper and deeper, and the Führer seems to have less and less pushback from the folks that we, the people, once relied on to stop our nation from turning into a cesspool of Fascism.

The so-called Constitutional guardrails of the three coequal branches of government have willingly faltered, with the Supreme Court permitting the president to act as a king and Congress, under a Republican majority, preferring to work for Trump's whims rather than the will of the people. Most of the mainstream media, under the tutelage of CEOs and Boards of Directors, placate Trump, placing their profits and potential for more and more above and beyond truth, democracy, and honor.

None of this is new, which is truly the saddest commentary about the Trump Take Over of America, and yet with each passing day, with each new Trump edict, it seems to me, my America the one in which I have so far lived 76 years of, is folding, caving in on itself, and all of this chaos comes as no surprise. Each day, Trump and his party of anti-democracy clowns push us to the edge. And damn it, it seems we are becoming weaker and weaker in the push back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one bites the dust

 “The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US

“Opinion | The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US”.  “The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden”. (The Guardian)

Usha, the willing wife, and her husband, Just Dance Vance, prevented the American Olympians in Milan from receiving a well-earned round of respect by preening and purposely presenting themselves as the American representatives of the repressive and Fascist Trump! Both people knew and knew that American Fascism is not a very popular ideal, yet Mrs. and Mr. Just dance Vance, having little fucks to give, pretended that they both were welcomed and warmly embraced. And no one in the United States would have witnessed the anger and dismay of the world if it had remained the purview of yet one more American corporation, NBC, to keep hidden the negative reaction not to the American athletes, but to the American delegation supposedly representing them! Alas, alack, like CBS, NBC has acquiesced to the demands of the Mob Boss of America, Trump!

And to continue its up inside your ass we go, NBC correspondent Tom Llamas of NBC asked Trump about the murders of Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, with Trump stating, Trump says Renee Good and Alex Pretti were ‘no angels’ but admits: ‘We’re not good at public relations’. Donald Trump did not fully roll back on his position, though, and claimed that ‘we don’t have a country’ without ICE. (The Independent) 

Read this correctly, please, Trump’s response is not sharing any condolences, no condemnation of the death of two innocent Americans, but rather offering the idea that ‘We’re not good at public relations. And sitting across from Trump, with the greatest of opportunities, push the President of the United States to admit that innocents had been murdered, this NBC coward moves on with his propaganda presentation. Whoever this NBC hack is, he, instead of finally asking Trump to tell the truth, moves on, ignoring the realness of reality.

One more Mainstream Media phony pretending to present the news, all the while permitting Trump to rearrange reality.

When the Media permits the Dictator to direct the news, a nation becomes a nation of an AUTHORITARIAN!
