Arbeit Macht Frei, baby

This is what happens when Nazis take power (not that our American Nazis have done so just yet, but they are lurching toward seizing all power, now with a vast budget for secret police and privately owned concentration camps).   Every arm of government and state-allowed media is quickly used to convince citizens that the Nazis have their backs, (the better to prepare those backs for the long knives, these are Nazis, after all).   This email arrived at 11:38 pm last night, not long after the glorious “The Act” won by a massive four vote landslide in the House.   The subject line was:

Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors

This email quotes the encouraging, if not entirely trustworthy, words of the new CEO of Social Security, a man worth a mere $547,000,000. Here’s the skinny on Mr. Bisignano from Wikipedia (Commie Front Group almost as dangerous as NPR and The New York Times!):

Bisignano is consistently rated as one of the highest-paid CEOs in the United States. In 2017, The New York Times reported that his compensation exceeded $100 million.[20] In 2019, his compensation was estimated at $40 million.[21] In December 2022, Bisignano signed a new contract with Fiserv to remain as president and CEO until 2027.[22] In 2023, Bisignano’s total compensation from Fiserv was $27.9 million, up 57% from the previous year and representing a CEO-to-median worker pay ratio of 380-to-1.[23] source

Who better to run Social Security than a man of the people from humble beginnings in Brooklyn? It’s not as though there’s any doubt that a great CEO is needed to oversee this gigantic federal spending program. His credentials are sterling. From the same Wikipedia entry (and please recall the source, these people, many of them atheists and criminals, no doubt, hate America and the 1%, irrationally):

In December 2024, president-elect Donald Trump named Bisignano as his nominee for commissioner of the Social Security Administration.[25] On January 28, 2025, the Senate had received the message of withdrawal of nomination from the President, who later restored the nomination. Bisignano’s cold-hearted reputation towards his employees at Fiserv was raised many times, along with his hire and fire approach, as likely predictors of how he would be as a government leader. [26][27]

The Senate Finance Committee scheduled March 25, 2025, for Bisignano to speak and answer questions about his qualifications to be the commissioner for the Social Security Administration.[28] The Senate voted on May 6, 2025, to confirm Bisignano as commissioner of the Social Security Administration, by a party-line vote of 53-47.[1] and he was officially sworn in on May 7, 2025.[2]

Bisignano had stated, according to an article in the Federal News Network:[29]

[A]fter being tapped by the Trump administration to lead the agency, I don’t think the commissioner of Social Security is like a globally known title. It is to you, right? But, like, it wasn’t to me. I’m like, “Well, what am I gonna do?”. So I’m Googling “Social Security”. That’s one of my great skills, I’m one of the great Googlers on the East Coast…. I’m like, “What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?”

Political commentator Steve Benen said that “the fact that the new Social Security commissioner, up until recently, had no idea what the Social Security commissioner’s responsibilities entailed does not inspire confidence”,[30] but “[a]n SSA official said Bisignano was ‘clearly’ making a joke about needing to Google the details and responsibilities of his new role”.[31]

It’s not like Bisignano is another Trump mega-donor receiving a quid pro quo appointment like Looey DeJoy.  It was his wife, HIS WIFE!

Bisignano is a long-time supporter of the Republican Party and of Donald Trump in particular. He has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns, including a $125,000 contribution to Trump Victory in 2019.[32]

His wife, Tracy Bisignano, also made significant contributions to the Trump 47 Committee, Inc. totaling $924,600 in October 2024.[33]

We are all now in a harder fight, with increased political violence to be expected from newly deputized Klansmen and their ilk ($10,000 bonus to sign up for ICE, trade in pointy hood for face mask and get to brutalize those you hate under color of law, yee ha!) who will be part of a vast army of what, prior to Trump’s second term, would have been his Brownshirts, but now they can wear any shirt they want and get paid (with full health insurance) by the taxpayers of non-debtor states, those anarchist jurisdictions like NY, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc.

[Example of “irony”] Example of the kind of brazen lies so-called “fact-based” Wikipedia peddles, when will the administration take steps to force youTube to stop amplifying its anti-Trump hate under videos falsely accusing loyal, America-loving Trump supporters of criminal activity?

Hey, yo, Happy Fourth of July, y’all.  Or more precisely, Happy Trump Day — the giant, spiteful baby must be very proud of what he’s accomplished to celebrate our nation’s 249th birthday, in less than six months, with nobody’s help except for a cabal of America’s most fascistic billionaires/CEOS, far-right think tanks, extremist judicial fraternity appointees and a cult of true believers who love his shtick, which never gets tired for them.   He can shoot a woman he just raped, in the face, on Fifth Avenue and they’d still buy his perfume, sneakers, bibles, NFTs, steaks, gold plated crypto coins, etc.  The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can commit any crime he wants, as long as Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, RFK Jr. or Pete Hegseth is nearby (making it an official act, LOL!)  USA!   USA!!!
