even worse

 The Big Beautiful Bill is BIG, it ain’t beautiful, and it's a bogus bill of sale.

“It gives tax breaks for gun silencers. Should it be easier to shoot someone in the United States? Republicans think yes. Trump's bill throws several favors to gun retailers and lobbyists, most notably the repeal of a $200 tax on firearm suppressors, more commonly known as "silencers.” (RollingStone)

-----So go ahead and purchase that slencer and make your killing spree less pronounced as they pronounce your victim dead.

“It is a disaster for renewable energy — and the economy Trump's bill will have a devastating impact on renewable energy, revoking scores of clean energy subsidies, credits, and grants given to green energy projects -- many in Republican areas.”(RollingStone)

-----Climate change is just a Democrat pipe dream, and the vast amount of floods, tornadoes, droughts, and wildfires are projections from the Left and Progressives. But keep the Oil Cartel healthy.

“It cuts food assistance. Trump's bill slashes spending on SNAP by $287 billion over 10 years. In order to do this, Republicans are making eligibility requirements more exclusionary, instituting new restrictions on federal SNAP funding for states.” (RollingStone)

If you ain’t a fetus located in the womb of the Seed Carrier (the mother), the Republicans have little desire for you to live a full life. If you ain’t born into a wealthy family, well fuck you you poor baby there is no way your life should be made easier, get a job damn it.

concentration camps

 The bill puts over $45 billion into the construction and expansion of detention facilities and transportation, enough money to open up about 116,000 detention beds. The moves would create a migrant holding system that rivals the size of the entire federal prison system. (RollingStone)

-----In other words, the Big Beautiful Bill has appropriated funds to build Concentration Camps throughout America. Cute to use the phrase migrant holding centers, instead of Concentration Camps, as if those of us who have read history books will somehow be fooled just the like the ilk of people who have no idea of Fascism and the Nazi’s

"Once we have an apparatus set up in this manner," says Gupta, "our experience is that it's incredibly challenging to dismantle it -- even if the American public no longer supports such sweeping enforcement and detention." (Nayna Gupta, policy director of the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy organization)”

-----The expectation, like so many other Government bureaucratic blunders, is that once it is alive and functioning as another form of prison and once the corporations are profiting from it, dismantling these Concentration Camps will face an uphill battle. It’s called money in politics, and you know, whichever state owns the land for the Concentration Camps, their local politicians will be paid off.

NEXT...

 Jewish leaders call out President Trump’s use of antisemitic slur. Trump told reporters he didn't know the term “shylocks” was problematic. (MSNBC.com)

Shylock was the greedy Jewish moneylender and main antagonist in Shakespeare’s classic 1600 play “The Merchant of Venice.” The term remains “among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes.” (Jewish Council for Public Affairs)

Trump and his Brown Shirts pretend and arouse the public whenever there is an anti-Israel protest on college campuses, insisting that those folks are antisemites, all the while codling the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the Christian Nationalists. Look at the Leftists shout the MAGA they hate Jews, all the while the Trump Gestapo espouses anti-Semitic tropes over and over again.

The Jews are next in line, I suppose, for this Fascist Dictator, I mean, you have the Brown Immigrants, the Trans community, the LGB demographic, the African Americans, those Women who have the audacity to want ownership of their bodies, the Poor. Hitler singled out the minorities, one by one, until almost anyone who was not supposedly of pure German blood was the enemy.

Miriam Adelson gives $100 million to Trump campaign, making good on reported pledge. Hey Mimi, how the fuck do you feel about your guy using the word “shylocks?” Is your Jewishness different than the rest of us because you spent your money on this Anti-Semite!

 

 

 

the KNOW nothings

 Asked about tax breaks for the wealthy and cuts to Medicaid, most of the American mainstream will say, “No thanks.” (It’s notable that the megabill is only popular with those who know effectively nothing about it.) (msnbc.com)

THOSE WHO EFFECTIVELY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT…That sentence says it all in the world of American Politics. The matter of fact is that for the MAGA voter, facts don’t matter, and what matters is that as long as they believe harm will come to others, the MAGA minions and cultists remain oblivious that in fact they too are the OTHER!

The suffering will begin in earnest, and for the first time in Republican history, “TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS will actually take place. Trickle down, as in, after the wealthy and corporations receive their feast of money, the leftovers and scraps will fall upon everyone else. And more and more Americans will actually discover what it is to be living at the bottom of the barrel.

gets a whole lot worse

 “House GOP holdouts fall in line, agree to bring Trump agenda to floor.” (CNN)

-----The Trump Reign of Terror continues in broad daylight, and his reign of death and destruction has been welcomed by the Republican Party, placing their own personal interests above and beyond the people.            

“That includes some House hardliners who have complained that the package would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, as well as moderate-leaning members who have concerns about Medicaid cuts.” (CNN)

-----The deficit grows because the billionaire puppet masters have enough money to bribe the politicians, but never enough money to pay their fair share of taxes. People will suffer and perhaps die because of their basic rights to decent and affordable health care, having been dissolved by the Republican Party of Pro-Death.

And even more frightening are the myriad details and new laws hidden in this Fascist Bill, from voting rights, to providing the President with more powers, and of course, the kind of immigration plans to evict anyone that the Trump Administration considers its enemy.

As bad as it has been for America and Americans it is about to get a whole lot worse."

fight back

 Distract, Discredit, Divide are three directives flowing from the sewer, which is Trump and his administration of “Brown Shirts, and the MAGA Gestapo.

Add to that “Look Over There,” “The Other,” and Hypocrisy and you have the intended cruelty, deceit, and authoritarianism demonstrated by the Republican Party. 

Throw in the rot and ruin filtered down from the Heritage Foundation’s Supreme Court Justices, the purposeful lies and fabrications from the State-run propaganda of FOX Noise, and the sheer ignorance and indulgence of racism and bigotry from the MAGA world and its cadre of voters and we have a bullseye target to rid this nation of Democratic principles evolving into Christian Nationalism and German style Fascism.

I am not certain how the rest of WE THE PEOPLE fight this cancer, but remaining quiet, or silent, or ignoring any or all of it is something that anyone who loves freedom, choice, science, education, liberty, and justice can not afford to do

Awaiting

 Trump's absence from slain Minnesota lawmaker's funeral goes beyond indifference. Trump refuses to use a key opportunity to turn down the temperature on political violence. (msnbc.com)

Trump has no intention of turning down the political violence; he thrives on the chaos and the opportunity to avoid his deficits in governing. Trump understands the values of a divided nation and will continue to tear this nation apart. He has also militarized his followers into examples of the ‘Brown Shirts’ and has made parts of his administration into a form of the Gestapo.

With permission from the entire Republican cadre of politicians, with the assistance of the majority of so-called Justices within the Supreme Court, the case of bleeding our nation dry of democracy is in Trump’s favor, and the gutting of this nation’s moral fiber is life-threatening.

As I write this, my gut aches, and I must wonder if there is a chance to stop this mass murder of freedoms, liberties, and justice, or are we all just victims awaiting our turn to become “THE OTHER?”
