I am certain some are supporters of the regime & some resent being put in that situation. It is divisive, damages unit cohesion, degrades readiness; raking leafs isn’t “warriors” readiness. It risks permanently damaging our military. Leaders will have to reject illegal orders or we’re sunk.
They may well come after Rove, too. They have no interests in building, only destroying. Everyone is at risk if questioning the regime’s objectives and methods, even Republicans.
Sometimes, it’s just bad leadership. They aren’t focused on enterprise success. They, instead, are focus on self aggrandizement. Often they lack the skills, but have been great at self-promotion & self-interest, ie, resume enhancement. Unfortunately, corporate boards do little to to stop it.
11% unemployment in NJ in the 1970s. Inflation was raging. Interests hit the high teens. You know, the good old days to which Trump wants to return. Back when smog smothered cities & rivers caught fire. And the Trumps could use racial discrimination in housing. What a swell time.
Shocked. I tell you I’m shocked that the orange man is a self-absorbed, narcissist, who is obsessed with only one thing: The Donald. I hope that one day a member of the press says, “Fuck you very much, Mr President.” Maybe even gives him a punch in the mouth for the insults he hurls at them.
Only counts if it’s a non-regime, non-MAGA player.
Referring to members & supporters of the Trumpian movement as “Right Wing” gives an air of political normalcy. Similarly, referring to silent pols, supporters, & coconspirators as Republicans gives a sense of a real political party. Neither are committed to oaths, laws, or constitution.
Not a joke. Despicable. Failure. Lackey. Dangerously incompetent. Desperately ignorant. But, not a joke.
In the weeks and months ahead we may be mourning its death.
And while they're at it, bankrupt farmers so the billionaires can gobble up more agricultural land at reduced prices. Then make the farmers low wage employees, get government subsidies, limit crops, and raise prices on consumers. Nah! They'd never think of that, would they?
Let’s waste young minds. Tell them science is always wrong, crime is good, hate is righteous, intolerance is kind, free speech is only free if you say what we want you to say.
Take him to court and make him testify or be deposed about his financial dealings, tax returns, his current income sources, and holdings.
Did anyone expect better of this crime family?
Go to court and depose the witnesses…let’s hear Trump’s story and look at his accounts.
Let’s see, your skin tone isn’t white, where’s that put you on his list of White Christian Nationalism? You’re a successful woman, you really lack brain power. A brown accomplished professional, his movement says you’re not qualified. Immigrant/1st generation? Oops, maybe no good. Not ✝️? Whoops.
Shut! It! Down! But be prepared for every possible contingency when the regime retaliates. Trump may try dissolving Congress. Maybe do a TX tactic & threaten arrest & replacement of Dems. Declare emergency & marshal law. His militias taking to the street threatening violence & worse.
Speech is no longer free in Texas. Prepare to post bond for express yourself, satirizing their St. Charlie, or disagreeing with there tyrannical ideas of American government. Property on the market and looking to leave Texas.🏃🏻♂️
“I am Charlie.” Like saying I am a racist, homophobic, white supremacist, Christian nationalist. Got it.
Free speech…you can say whatever you want as long as you say what they want to hear. If not, you’ll end up on the wrong side of Abbott or Patrick. Freedom isn’t free…$200 bail.
They are messaging their base with disinformation to rally flagging support. That effort requires that Kirk become a martyred saint rather than a modern day Nazi Youth recruiter and groomer. Their base will never hear nor believe the hate he spewed with charm and a smile.
Shut it down…but prep for a Reichstag moment. All horrible things are possible with this regime.
I have to believe that they were waiting for the opportunity after gaming out the murder of a a prominent republinut. Once it happened, it was game on to ratchet up the hostile attacks targeting political opposition, the oppression of individuals (DoD, Tx Tech, etc), & to press corporations.
Truth is whatever they say it is. Kirk was a Nazi youth groomer of young people. Charm and Christianity doesn’t make it better. Lies don’t mask his real legacy.
Not all Germans became Nazi enthusiasts overnight. It was the steady stream of propaganda, the gradual ratcheting of control over messaging, and the destruction of opposition…just like the republinut regime is doing in real time.
🖕Vance and extremist pals.
🐂💩
It is really about what suits Trump and his business interests. It’s not about good governance and information to support investors. CEO will buy into the idea because it also suits their personal interests…keep investors in the dark.
Both have foregone their oaths of office. It’s all about being uber MAGA to stay in office, maintain power, grift from their positions as senators.
What? No vigil for the dead high school kids shot by a fellow student influenced by extremist, white nationalist views?
Without enforcement of emolument laws, why bother at all?
As my mother would sometimes say, “if that idiot Billy said jump off a bridge, would you do it? So, why would you…” And I think, “If that idiot Donnie said lower interest rates, would you do it? So, why would you lower interest rates with Stagflation staring at you?”, ie, don’t be stupid.
He suffers from a disabling level of social skills. The glasses won’t fix that.
Lower interest rates won’t fix it. They’re not going out into the fields to pick vegetables. Stagflation is here, whether the economists want to recognize it or not.
The USA’s near future.
He has trouble reading. He has trouble writing. He has trouble speaking. He has trouble with numbers. He the most dangerous dyslexia-dysgraphia-aphasiia -dyscalculia man in the world.
I think I hear the sound of thousands of jobs with Korean firms in the USA going down the drain.
Fire him.
Last investor out goes broke…
Just happens to fit the regime’s narrative. What a coincidence.
Say it loudly. Kirk was grooming Nazi youths. He preach hateful rhetoric. Even if you say it politely with a charming demeanor and big smile, cloak it in a false Christian veil, it is still Nazism. So, we should not stay silent. You could be the next target.
He was a Nazi youth groomer! He preached hate and White supremacy. Why does every news outlet think this guys deserves sainthood? Kinder, gentler Nazism and white supremacy is still hate speech. It was still intended to demean and divide. His intent was to draw white kids to the dark side.
With the Trump regime? Never happen. They exploit to save their hold on power.
Maybe Trump will have him embalmed and place on permanent display in DC like the Soviets did Lenin. He’ll be a Demi-god of the regime.
Hitler and the Nazis felt that they were being humane by killing the physically and mentally disabled in order to improve the Aryan species. Guess we know where Kilmeade lies on the humane spectrum.
Kirk was running an operation equivalent to Hitler Youth. His intent was to not just influence, but to build a following of hateful youths that support the regime's agenda. He wanted white, Christian nationalism to dominate the same way the 1930s Nazis indoctrinated good nazis. And Hegseth? 🖕
🤔…president is like a father figure, you look up to the prez, he inspires you, give hope. Think Kennedy. Now imagine Prez Trump as your father, that guy who demeans, is abusive, always tells you you’re wrong because he is always right, but you can’t afford to move out. 😳 Gloomy isn’t it?
A martyr? More like a reincarnated von Schirach, the leader of Hitler’s Nazi Youth.
What happened in 1929? Stocks ran up, & the average investor was left as the last man out. Big investors are playing the little investor who have money tied up in 401K and IRA investments. The little guy can never be as nimble nor do they have the inside info on when the toilet will be flushed.
I’m sure he’d prefer to just skip the trial and do a lynching like in the westerns Trump watched as a kid. That way, he can bury the truth and make up his own story about what inspired the accused…Facts? Don’t matter.
I’m sure he means his patience with Ukraine…just another Trump brain fart.
Just what the doctor ordered for Trump to avoid the stress of Epstein closing in from the grave…Has he called up his Proud Boys and other Trump militias? Violence from his extremist supporters is his prescription. It’s his escalation opportunity. Totalitarian takeover near complete. Dems still 😴
Was Trump prepared for the opportunity? He and his minions are capable of great evil. Watch them escalate their hostility.
The great negotiator & magnificent deal maker just had the Koreans put the squeeze on him. He needs the factories. He needs the jobs they bring. Especially in regions in which his core support resides. His pea brain didn’t think about that. His minions lack foresight of consequences.
Part of the regime’s plan. It’s their MO. Dead Democrat state legislators? Meh. Dead kids at school? Meh. Dead right wing hate monger recruiting the young to the dark side? He’s a martyr! He’s a saint! Only a left wing nutjob would do such a thing! (Except for the white guys who did earlier)
He was a sinister, hateful, propagandist. He was no hero. He is no martyr. He is only a saint to the regime who shared his hate and message of oppression of anyone who wasn’t like themselves.
Will Trump launch a Navy Seal Team on a rescue mission to jail break Bolsonaro? It wouldn’t shock me at all.
The difference between this regime and Nazis in Germany 1930s? None. It’s the gradual ratcheting of effect. They are slowly bending law enforcement to becoming a private army, a Gestapo. Their targets will broaden. Their means more sinister. His minions already flawed become more flawed; evil.
These guys all thought Trump would be great for their economy, investment businesses, & personal wealth, Fast forward & they are all dumb struck by Project 2025 & the total ignorance of the regime policies. Gee, whodda thunk deporting the pointy end of the workforce & tariffs would be bad. Me.
Coven of witches.
'We have a statue of MLK': GOP lawmakers push for Charlie Kirk monument in Capitol -RawStory Can’t even fathom a comparison of Kirk & MLK. Kirk was a white nationalist who resented black successes. Kirk’s hate was wide & deep across race, religion, gender. Like putting up a statue for Geobbels.
Oil & Gas company layoffs, rig count down are two factors. SWA laid of folks. Large federal employment base hit by layoffs. Canary in the coal mine.
Just leave the flags lowered. These shootings happen so frequently, why make special effort anymore?
No one saw how Trump ran his businesses? No one had a clue to his personality type? The pundits didn’t understand who Trump preferred to surround himself with? They all ignore his criminal misdeeds large and small? They seem surprised the regime is bending us authoritarianism via a cold civil war.
Really? For a demagogue who spewed hate? A White Christian Nationalist who despised accomplished black women and men? A guy who advocated for guns and 2nd Amendment expansion when discussing school shootings? Lower for 9/11. Raise them tomorrow. No honors for this divisive MAGA proponent. None.
Where were these brilliant pundit's forecast of the future when Trump was a candidate? Why were all of these real smart folks shouting from the rooftops how dangerous these MAGA nutjobs were and how real Project 2025 was? No, only dummies like me saw it, could hear it, and knew what we were in for.
Trump is the the atrocity. He is the monster destroying our democracy and tearing apart society.
Words from prez who said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. A creep in the midst of Epstein crisis. The prez who said he could get Navy Seals to kill a political opponent. I have to think he might have martyred Kirk to save himself.
Now I suspect the regime had Kirk killed to advance their agenda and amp up their tactics. A white Christian nationalist who still advocated for unrestricted 2nd Amendment as a response to school mass shootings. Ironic. Dems get murdered: silence. Kids shot at school: silence. Kirk: hero.
Exactly what Kirk opposed.
A wrung on the ladder of escalation. Watch the regime use this to expand their target to political opponents. Watch the regime and its adherents use this in acts of revenge…yup, revenge by shooting opposition figures is possible, maybe likely.
The regime is slowly tightening their grip. The regime has no moral bottom, no code of ethics, follows no laws. Faith in their design for control is everything. Waters only expresses the regimes future intent.
"Here we go." As in Doctor Strangelove, here we go? media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...
Another inspiring pearl of wisdom from Commander Heel Spurs to give the public confidence. Right up there with inject bleach and shove a bright light.
My grandfather fought American Nazis in the streets of Newark & Irvington, NJ in the 1930s. My 9yr old father threw rocks at them from Irvington Park. The men used fists, pipe, & bats to crack heads, break bones. Now we're back to facing them in the streets, but worse, they are the ruling regime.
Pin down NATO in Europe to help China action in Asia? Coincidence that Putin escalates right after his China visit where China flexed its military muscles in their parade.
Abbott keeps trying to be an Uber MAGA in hopes of receiving a high rank in the regime. He fails to recognize that Trump would never do a DEI hire of a handicapped person. It’s bad TV optics.
And you’re still thinking that there will be an election, or one that won’t be tainted by accusations of fraud, delay, and invalidation that will toss decision making to state governors and legislatures. Where is that likely to happen? In every republinut state.
And, if the fed cuts rates at a time of imminent stagflation, it will not effectively alter unemployment, but it will exacerbate inflation. Inflation is already above target and tariffs are still ramping up their inflationary impact.
Can anyone have any confidence in the numbers from this regime? Isn’t this more likely a set up? As things get worse because of Trump’s bad decisions, he can then blame Biden for handing him a really bad economy? Because it is never Trump’s fault.
It’s a cult.
We see it. They can’t.
The irony is lost.
I’d arrest Homan based on his looks, his record, and his ignorant disregard of the law.
Reality sucks, but Trump lives in his own head like other autocrats (knows more than anyone about everything & anything contradictory is a lie). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
I served in the 1970s post-Nixon. There is no way I would sign up to be a member of any of the services under the command of this criminal regime. We didn’t have a perfect country then, nor a perfect military, but it wasn’t criminal.
We don’t have a functioning judicial system. Even lower court judges have recognized that SCOTUS is giving the regime free rein. Due process is already violated regularly. He cannot incarcerate millions of strikers. He might try. He might turn to violence as his escalates his cold civil war.
Like most bullies, Commander Heel Spurs gets others to do his dirty work and fight his fights. Later he’ll step in to break it up and claim both the win and the peacemaking without getting dirty.
That’s what the Nazis said at Nuremberg, too. “Just following orders.”
Carlson, faking that he’s intelligent.
Cold civil war is a hair trigger from going hot. I’ll-trained agents doing tasks beyond their scope. NatGuard armed & on the streets. Hot headed police with grudges against protesters. They’re inches from a shooting or beating death from things going hot.
Yeah, it was auto-pen.😉
Disappointed? How about flaming hot angry that SCOTUS ditched the constitution? How about angry because everyone can be targeted for no reason other than a masked federal agent can stop you because he doesn’t like your looks, your accented English, or your politics?
Rural families and farmers will be on the move again.
But can he draw an analog clock with the hands displaying 10:15? I’ve got my doubts.🤪
They’ve been bribed (mom’s house, vacay, RV). They’ve gotten sweetheart real estate deals. They’ve broken court rules. Who knows what else? For a couple, it’s just ideology not law, despite the consequences. Trump’s DOJ hold the keys to impeachment & prosecution, if they don’t play along.
😱…whadda surprise. I hope in addition to naming all of the perpetrators, the victims describe the perverse acts of each…you know those fine, upstanding, highly moral and often religious, self-righteous rich guys.
You look Muslim. Show me your papers. You look Haitian. Show me your papers. You look gay. Show me your papers. You look Democrat. Show me your papers. You look like a liberal reporter. Show me your papers. You look disabled. Show me your papers. You looked at me funny. Show me your papers. Etc.
Shut it all down. Labor strikes nationwide across all unionized labor to include federal, transportation, industry, energy, services, etc. No work. No revenue. No taxes. No federal funds. And let those aggrieved farmers rally their tractors at Trump's white house.
Don't be Hispanic from the Texas border. You'll look Hispanic. You'll sound Hispanic. You will be stopped multiple times for driving while Hispanic. Don't have a passport? Too bad. Your Texas driver's license?Assumed fake. You'll spend time in lockup every few months while it gets sorted out
Nazi Germany: you look Jewish. Show me your papers. How is this different? You look Hispanic. Show me your papers. But in the USA, we don't have to prove citizenship or show a passport within the country. What blackmail does the regime hold over these SCOTUS judges, or are they fascists, too?
