Especially if you are lying on behalf of our Lord and Savior.
On the other hand
Not to mention that two federal judges have already ruled the emergency billions the Department of Agriculture has in reserve to cover exactly this kind of emergency must be used to fund SNAP.
And then again
A deadly riot at the Capitol? Legitimate political discourse. A 49% victory in the presidential election? A historic mandate. 140 documented instances of cooperation between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016? The Russher Hoax. The Big Lies go on and on, and there is nothing illegal about the party in power lying to people too intimidated, misinformed or apathetic to fight back, or even to those ready to challenge those lies, when it comes down to it. We have no choice but to resist, organize and continue to resist.
Immigration Rights
Build Collective Power – session led by the ACLU Time Wednesday, November 5 7 – 8pm EST Location Virtual event Join from anywhere
As part of the Solidarity in Action series, this ACLU-led session will help allies show up for immigrant communities facing law enforcement encounters. Participants will learn their rights as bystanders, immigrant rights during these interactions, and practical strategies to act safely and effectively. Together, we’ll strengthen our collective ability to protect one another and build the solidarity our communities need to thrive.
This is movement training for action: you’ll leave ready to not only defend your neighbors in the moment, but also strengthen the collective resistance that fuels our movements for immigrant justice.
“The Leader’s words have the force of law,” is a legal maxim of The Third Reich, embraced by the entire German legal profession, all Nazi party members.
If the Leader says there are violent riots in places where the only violence is caused by his heavily armed shock troops in traffic-blocking unmarked vans, rappelling from helicopters, deploying tear gas, pepper spray, batons and rubber bullets against nonviolent protesters, then there are violent riots that must be dealt with accordingly.
If you want to use disgusting hate speech, like calling the Leader a Nazi, we will tase you, beat you, cuff you, throw you into an unmarked van, take you to a private detention center 1,000 miles away and ship you off to a war torn African shithole country so you can make your nasty comments over there. Eventually, we will round up everyone who calls us Nazis and kill you all, don’t even worry about it.
Here’s the newly promoted head of the Leader’s SS, Gregory Bovino, hurler of tear gas at people cursing him and his shock troops during a protest. He claimed a rioter threw something that hit him in the head, the videos show otherwise. He was good and goddamned righteously mad to be met by so many people defiantly opposing the Leader’s will, and that crowd was lucky it was just tear gas and not a hail of bullets.
Don’t call me a Nazi, you all are the fucking Nazis! I defy you to find the totenkopf [1] on my SS cosplay costume!
The face of a concerned patriot, every bit as loyal as the thousands of meek citizens who peacefully overran police and rightfully sacked the Capitol on the Day of Love.
When they get the power to do it, Nazis don’t hesitate to terrorize and torture. It is essential to their power to keep people frightened and enraged. Their followers get a thrill out of watching weak people squirm and beg. Here in America, if there’s a law saying you can’t do some callous, evil thing, just point to Trump v. United States, which says, 6-3, if it’s a crime, but the president does it — relax! Alternatively, you can say what the notices firing federal workers, including top DOJ attorneys said in their entirety, “Article II”. This means, “suck it, I have the power, you don’t.”
Dan Rather reports on Project 2025’s plan to torture 45 million people with forced hunger (while killing hundreds of thousands in poor countries, so far, by defunding USAID) so that powerful pedophiles can remain protected and billionaires and their corporate alter-egos can attain permanent, unlimited power in our experiment in democracy:
Nearly 42 million Americans receive food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Originally called food stamps, it’s a program that’s been around for decades. I was covering the White House in 1964 when President Lyndon Johnson signed the measure into law as part of the War on Poverty.
Last week, the Department of Agriculture said it will withhold money earmarked by Congress to pay for SNAP during the shutdown, the first time emergency funds have not been released in such a case.
Even though the USDA is legally required to fund the program, the president is holding the money hostage. You are reading that correctly. He is withholding food assistance from some of the most vulnerable Americans, more than 16 million of whom are children, in a political ploy to push the Democrats to fold.
One of those Democrats, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, called him out. “This is perhaps the most cruel and unlawful offense the Trump administration has perpetrated yet — freezing funding already enacted into law to feed hungry Americans while he shovels tens of billions of dollars out the door to Argentina and into his ballroom,” she said.
Democratic Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow did not hold back when encouraging her fellow senators to vote to temporarily fund SNAP. “The Trump administration and the Republicans supporting him are using food as a political weapon. This is a choice… They are choosing to let children go hungry. We will not stand for that choice,” she said. . .
. . . What should not get lost in all the scare tactics and the political paralysis in Washington is that tens of millions of people go hungry every day in America, the richest country in the world. And that is before the shutdown and callous political maneuvering. The small help some of them get, an average of $190 a month, is being weaponized by a billionaire.
Another corrupt, unquestionable pardon of a convicted criminal, this one a billionaire benefactor of the Trump boys, by President Project 2025. Heather gives his ultra-lucid response to a reporter asking about the pardon.
This afternoon, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about the pardon and whether it had anything to do with Zhao’s involvement in the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture.
“Which one? Who is that?…. The recent one? Yes, the? I believe we’re talking about the same person because I do pardon a lot of people. I don’t know, he was recommended by a lot of people. A lot of people say that—are you talking about the crypto person?—A lot of people say that he wasn’t guilty of anything. He served four months in jail, and they say that he was not guilty of anything, that what he did, well, you don’t know much about crypto. You know nothing about, you know nothing about nothing. You’re fake news. But let me just tell you that he was somebody that, as I was told, I don’t know him, I don’t believe I’ve ever met him. But I’ve been told a lot of support. He had a lot of support, and they said that what he did is not even a crime. It wasn’t a crime, that he was persecuted by the Biden administration, uh, and so, I gave him a pardon at the request of a lot of very good people.”
Last night, apparently furious at the implied criticism of his tariffs with the words of a Republican icon, as well as the fact that Canadians bypassed him by appealing directly to the American people, Trump announced on social media that “TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.” He continued: “ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.” Today he continued to post pro-tariff messages, saying, for example: “THE UNITED STATES IS WEALTHY, POWERFUL, AND NATIONALLY SECURE AGAIN, ALL BECAUSE OF TARIFFS!” and “THE STOCK MARKET IS STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE BECAUSE OF TARIFFS!” . . .
. . . Trump appears to want the world to conform to his ideology in foreign affairs as well as in the domestic sphere, claiming the ultimate power over life and death without regard to the rule of law. When a reporter asked him yesterday why he didn’t ask Congress for a declaration of war against those South American drug cartels he claims are at war with the United States, Trump answered: “Well, I don’t think we’re gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war, I think we’re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We’re going to kill them. You know? They’re going to be, like dead. OK?” . . .
. . . And yet, for all the administration’s insistence that it can shape the world as it wants, it seems worried about the American people. Yesterday Trump dismissed the No Kings protests of last Saturday, saying the “crowds were not big at all” and claiming the signs were “all made professionally in a printing shop. Looks like on Madison Avenue someplace.” He said: “Some guy is paying for all that stuff…. These people are going crazy, they’re going crazy ‘cause they’re getting paid. ‘Cause there’s no reason for them to be going crazy, but you watch some of them, and they’re professional agitators, and we are finding out who’s paying them. Yeah. We have a lot of information about who they are. You’re gonna be very surprised when you find out.”
Millions are expected to participate in over 2,500 No Kings rallies across the United States tomorrow. MAGA has been all over corporate media speaking in one voice. They are all calling this a Hate America Rally by paid operatives, carrying identical signs (proof of conspiracy), all terrorists, the worst kinds of violent criminals (and pedophiles, it goes without saying), in fact, the fake rally is pro-Hamas and anti-fascist! Paid protesters hired by George Soros (soon to be under IRS investigation along with other Marxist Democrat donors) and Hamas (Qatar funding this one too?), stupid, angry people who irrationally hate good old American fascism as much as they hate Jesus Christ, Civil War Heroes of the South and even Charlie Kirk.
Trump played his part today, masterful five dimensional chess to those who love him. The hate America, anti-fascist, pro-Hamas wing, that deluded 65% of our country, may look at this inspired move differently, but you be the judge.
SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON:To demand oversight on federal law enforcement? I’ve not seen them cross the line yet, and that we have committees of jurisdiction who have that responsibility, but it’s not risen to that level. What I’ve seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists. You know, most recently, the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly.
Sounds like the cherub-faced cold-blooded liar should get on that Christian curb-your-impulse-to-masturbate app with his 20 year-old son about now. Naked bike riders in a protest, really threatening and ugly! Masked thugs not in uniforms (Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, etc. enjoying their big MAGA pay day) throwing people on the ground for “disrespect,” pepper spraying them, pulling their pants down, roughing them up, confiscating their phones, their ID, detaining them for hours (before releasing some of them without charges), based on… whatever? Beautiful. All of it must get this sick hyper-sycophant pretty lathered up, as hot as brazenly protecting powerful pedophiles from being publicly outed, along with his master. Imagine the erotic torment of all this raw, unrestrainable power to the poor, persecuted fake Christian.
On Friday, Brockman was detained after Border Patrol agents said they were conducting immigration enforcement at a busy intersection in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood at the height of rush hour. She was released later that day without charges . . . Ms. Brockman was detained and held in federal custody for approximately 7 hours before being released. She has not been charged with any crimes and she intends to pursue all legal avenues available to her to vindicate her rights and hold the federal authorities accountable for their actions. . . “Ms. Brockman was taken to the ground, battered, handcuffed and her pants were pulled down exposing her bare buttocks. No one should be treated like that in this city, in this country, or anywhere else in the world.”source
How ugly, threatening, evil and sick! The president: “Portland is burning to the ground! Insurrectionists all over the place.” I never met Johnny Epstein, the guy I trusted who wound up stealing one of my sexiest young towel girls! Mike Johnson knows his job depends on nobody ever questioning my preference for sex only with women over 18, even if it takes dissolving Congress during a shutdown I forced. I will not negotiate with Democrat terrorists, only death for them. Question my sanity, I fucking kill you, capisce? MAGA Mike Johnson gets it loud and clear.
People who find gas chambers funny, text “I love Hitler,” applaud rape and slavery, chide those who would ever trust “the Jew” and unironically use words like “nigger” and “faggot”, resent very much being called Nazis. After a massive trove of their Nazi approving texts was leaked, more than one, by way of apology, accused nefarious enemies of doctoring the texts to make the group of Young Republicans look bad [1].
NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.source
It’s easy to understand their sensitivity, since these are things often associated with actual Nazis and, even though these young “Republicans” believe the “Holocaust” was obviously faked, being called Nazis makes them the victims of vicious people who use such sick, judgmental terms. Vicious Jews like me, but what can you expect? Jews irrationally hate Hitler, Hitler Derangement Syndrome, yo. Anti-fascism is anti-American terrorism, as anyone but a “woke” Jew, “nigga,” “faggot,” “retard,” woman, Democrat or libtard cuck can understand.
Lawrence O’Donnell, always with an intelligent and unflinching take, tells the story:
[1] from the Politico article linked above
“I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my campaign to lead the Young Republicans,” he [chat participant Peter Giunta — former chair of the NYS Young Republicans] said. “While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored.”
“While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored.”
I’m sure you do, and are, Giunta, and brilliant Nazi blame shifting if-pology, you adorable Nazi fuck.
So much for the “presumption of regularity”. Courts are starting to notice that extending the presumption of normalcy, assuming, unless there’s serious evidence to the contrary, that the Department of Justice is acting in accord with its long established principles and practices, is a game for suckers.
Federal Appellate Judge for life, Emil Bove III, a smirking weasel who makes Bill Barr look highly principled, earned his bones during a brief stint at DOJ by overruling career prosecutors and arguing to a federal judge that the substantial corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams should be temporarily dismissed, held over his head, contingent on the Black Trump’s agreed to cooperation with illegal ICE activities in NYC. While at the DOJ Bove told prosecutors to be ready to tell the courts “fuck you” if they opposed the boss’s priorities. His proud tradition at DOJ continues with the abrasively defiant Pamela Jo Bondi, eternally aggrieved Alina Habba and the highly inexperienced and unqualified, but undeniably good looking, and loyal as a dog, Lindsay Halligan.
In the past, public evidence of a president ordering the Attorney General to go after his enemies would be a major scandal, covered by the media for weeks and grounds for impeachment. Particularly if he publicly whined to her that not doing so makes him look bad for threatening something his DOJ is not following through on. It’s hurting his reputation and credibility, wrote the man with a reputation for fraud and sexual assault and the credibility of a compulsive liar lying about proven fraud, a deadly riot he incited, serial adultery, sexual assaults he committed. Then he adds, to make his vindictive intent crystal clear for the ladies and gentlemen of the jury: They impeached me twice and indicted me (5 times!). OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED NOW!!! President DJT.
Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt, that it was dementia that caused him to send this private order over “social media”, any other president in US history would have been investigated and impeached for this “unprecedented”, “irregular”, “unethical,” illegal order to the head law enforcement officer in the US. If Joe Biden had dinner with his AG, Merrick Garland, once, the anti-woke forces would still be screaming about the unpardonable corruptness of it. Trump constantly surrounds himself with his debased sycophants, heads of “independent” agencies who compete for his attention and favor by their willingness to demonstrate their capacity for depravity. Bondi’s outraged response to a photo of her at a recent dinner with Trump, right before the Comey indictment, was to defend herself as being two seats from the president, not right next to him as a commie senator falsely claimed.
Imagine this was written by Joe “Autopen” Biden and it urged his AG to immediately go after Steve Bannon, American Eichmann Jeffrey Clarke, Peter Navarro and John Eastman (as Garland legitimately should have).
Or as the amoral servants of the bottom line in corporate media frame the flimsy indictment of NY AG Letitia James, a “second major achievement”…
When dealing with compulsive liars who fervently believe every lie they utter, understand that truth has no place in the conversation. They will say, as they did yesterday as part of their Nazi talking points “Biden sent 274 FBI agents provocateurs to the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to start a riot to blame on the innocent Trump!”. You might say “The innocent Trump was still the president on that date, the riot after his rousing speech was to prevent Biden from being certified as the winner of the election, how did the president-elect order the FBI to do anything?” They will say “fuck you, you hate America, and you’re anti-fascist, and are suffering from woke mind virus and Trump Derangement Syndrome, cuck.” The rest of the discussion will be, as they say, academic.
Some still consider it controversial to call our angry American authoritarians Nazis. Read any history of the Nazi movement and their seizure of power and you will encounter many similarities, including an eerily familiar cast of characters across both regimes. Loyalty to an infallible (if also insane) megalomaniacal Leader was the first, and last, rule in Nazi Germany, it is the only rule for government work in Trump’s America. A nonentity like Himmler, or Eichmann, or dozens of other obsequious, supremely ambitious mediocrities, could rise to the top of the Nazi hierarchy by showing the ruthlessness to loyally do whatever vicious, destructive, atrocious action (Aktion in the original German [1]) Hitler suggestd needed to be done.
I know one argument against this administration being like the Nazis is that these current fascists have not set up concentration camps (although they allocated $45,000,000,000 for the construction of private detention centers by some of Trump’s biggest donors, one of which Pam Bondi used to work for) and certainly not death camps! I say, give them time, and the power to do it, and everything their predecessors did will be done. It took the Nazis more than five years to really get rolling with the mass imprisonment in a network of concentration camps and then a few more years before they rolled out the first death camps. These things take time, the public will freak out if death camps are set up too soon. If you doubt their murderous motives, ask family members of some of the 500,000 or so already dead from Trump/Musk/Vought’s/Federalist Society’s unconstitutional cutting of USAID funds allocated by Congress for food and medicine to ravaged nations on other continents. Or the families of the people executed on those boats Trump’s Secretary of War blew up in international waters.
Look at the actions of each regime at this point in time and distinguish if you can between early Nazi abuses of authority and a Blackhawk helicopter delivering heavily armed masked ICE agents on to the roof of a Chicago apartment complex, goons who proceeded to break down doors and lead 300 residents out into the street in zip-ties, including naked children. Something like five people were actually arrested in the end (or maybe ICE had warrants for five when they emptied the entire building). Lights, camera, AKTION! Tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse small, peaceful crowds, brutalizing and body slamming older women, old men, young men, young women, traumatizing children, wearing masks and no badges, throwing nonviolent folks on the ground to be handcuff and cursed at. Nothing to see here, you fucking cucks!
Let’s look at a couple of the most prominent and influential Nazi-style influencers in Trump’s malodorous inner circle, verify their Nazi bona fides.
Take a hateful bigot like Stephen Miller, a weak and rage-filled worm elected by nobody, wielding hatred and a burning ambition to inflict pain on those he loathes. Very powerful due to his outsized ability to influence the needy Mr. Trump with strategic flattery and tactical rage, he sets cruel immigration policies not dissimilar to early Nazi policies toward minorities. He is said to be the great mind behind the brazen (in his mind audacious) war crime of killing foreign nationals on boats, on the same rationale former Philippine strongman Rodrigo Duterte is currently on trial at the International Criminal Court for using — suspected drug dealers must die, no arrest, no trial, say they’re doing it and kill them. Here’s Miller:
On Saturday afternoon, [Stephen] Miller posted: “The issue before us now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.”source
We’ll leave aside the recent finding by the pre-Patel FBI that most domestic terrorism, and virtually all political violence, are from right wing extremist groups, most identifying as white Christians. That paper was removed from the internet by alert Trump lackeys, since it unfairly attacked good extremist groups loyal to the president and his “agenda”. No more right wing violence, it’s “a growing movement of leftwing terrorism”. Dr. Goebbels is smiling in hell right now at the audacity of America’s Big Lie party.
An ambitious right-wing hater like the well-paid Heritage Society “ideologue” Russell Vought, author of the chapter on presidential power in the almost universally despised Project 2025, has been angling to take the reins of the US budget for a long time. Now that he has them he is rushing to exploit the Trump shutdown to advance his extreme agenda of finally destroying the “administrative state” and replacing it with one run by a transactional, greedy, Executive, immune from criminal liability, with absolute powers. This suddenly intoxicatingly powerful asshole calls this arrangement “radical constitutionalism” for some reason.
In 2022, Vought argued that the United States is in a “post constitutional moment” that “pays only lip service to the old Constitution.” He attributes that crisis to “the Left,” which he says “quietly adopted a strategy of institutional change,” by which he appears to mean the growth of the federal government to protect the rights of all Americans. He attributes that change to the presidency of President Woodrow Wilson beginning in 1913. Vought advocates what he calls “radical constitutionalism” to destroy the power of the modern administrative state and instead elevate the president to supreme authority.source
Pamela Jo Bondi and Kashyap Pramod Patel speak aggressively, angrily and often incoherently, for themselves, their breath tainted by where their mouths have been. Trump has now hired 31 former FOX “personalities” and producers (of propaganda) — the inspirational, highly qualified Secretary of War and Makeup and the new, fond of wine, US Attorney for DC, to name but two. The list of unsubtle ass kissers is too long to make here, but Emil Bove III, Todd Blanche and the world’s most obvious “bottom”, cherub faced liar and hater, uber-Christian, adorably fey MAGA Mike Johnson, all deserve mention. Sorry Alina, Lindsay, Lindsey, et al.
[1] Aktion: A German military or police operation involving mass assembly, deportation and killing; directed by the Nazis against Jews during the Holocaust.
(source Museum of Tolerance, or as they will soon be forced to rebrand themselves, after making a handsome payment to Trump’s “library” for defaming Hitler, Museum of Woke, Cuck Losers!)
For once, AI actually had a better capsule summary:
In Nazi terminology, “Aktion” referred to a violent operation against civilians, often used as a euphemism for mass murder operations, such as those carried out during the Holocaust. It was a way to disguise the true nature of their actions from the public and the victims.
It’s hard not to be distracted by the constant tantrums, threats, rage tweets, flashes of madness, impulsiveness, dementia flights, war on the constitution, criminal abuse of his office, obstruction of justice, contempt of courts (all now legal for him, as long as done in conjunction with a cabinet member, see Trump v. US, 6-3, cucks)searches, indictments, arrests and brilliant AI internet trolling of his enemies by the very stable genius, President Project 2025. Behind him is a trillion dollar network of American fascists who make most of the big decisions, as laid out in detail in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. The blueprint for American fascism Trump lied about knowing anything about as a candidate, though he claimed to disagree with some of it (“the weave”).
Thousands of these true believers (they’ve gone by ‘movement conservative’, ‘alt-right’, ‘neo-con’, ‘John Birch Society’ and many less flattering names) are well-paid political operatives — lawyers, legislators, judges, influencers and lobbyists — acting on behalf of what Sheldon Whitehouse calls the “creepy billionaires” (creepy, in part, because mass death for others is a negligible price, in their collective opinion, to pay for the permanent protection of their vast privileges). There is an entire major political party now in thrall to their united will. Presumably there are also millions of enraged young white men, neither wealthy nor politically sophisticated, ready to follow their charismatic TV star leader into battle, as thousands did on January 6th. For a moment, let’s forget about Trump and look at what the network he works for is having him do.
Just as there was a long game by the American far-right to reverse the limits on presidential criminal audacity imposed by law after Richard Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace, just like the myth that slaveholding states didn’t start the Civil War, or fight for the cause of slavery, MAGA represents a return to the good old days when Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Women, Voting Rights Advocates and others, innately inferior to white Christian men, “knew their place”. Ultimately, MAGA/Project 2025 is a return to the world the “Originalists” (an infinitely supple legal theory created by the same folks who brought you Project 2025) fondly imagine — a just constitutional order based on the judicious compromises that allowed certain rich people to own others they could treat however they wanted to.
So, while it’s despicable, it’s no shock that President Project 2025 has appointed a pliable puppet/”DEI hire” to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development who will roll back enforcement of the Fair Housing Act, the law that Trump and his landlord father violated for years (before and long after its passage in 1968), in the name of fighting what would later be called DEI — Diversity, Equity and Inclusion– among their tenants. Trump and his father, Frederick Christ Trump, eventually settled DOJ’s discrimination case against them, after a rip-roaring public legal battle in which they were represented by the monstrous Roy Cohn. In the settlement the Trumps agreed not to continue their racist violations of the Fair Housing Act without admitting they had ever violated it. Now, the NY Times reports (read article by clicking on image below):
Got to love the look of the sycophant Trump appointed to head the agency, superficially perfect casting:
HUD Secretary Scott Turner apparently believes, along with Trump, the Heritage Foundation, Charles Koch, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Jared Kushner and MAGA world (not to mention the Ku Klux Klan), that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a sickness, like the vaguely defined yet highly contagious “woke mind virus”, that must be eradicated. DEI, we are told, is an anti-American commie myth perpetrated to place unqualified inferior non-white, non-male people in power to bring down White America. To believe this requires a few leaps of faith, or leaps of idiocy.
First you must believe that there is no need for diversity in hiring, that everything is already equal between white men, women and so-called “people of color” in government and in the private sector. There has never been discrimination in the USA (“all men are created equal” — duh!), and racism, if you want to talk about racism, is directed toward persecuted white Christian men only (a claim made by the original KKK, too, protectors of white Christian women). Equity, which means fairness, is another way of accusing beleaguered Christian white men of being unjust and unfair! Inclusion is a sneaky way to manipulate the gullible into believing that some people are being systematically excluded!
DEI is, according to our homegrown fascist movement, just like Critical Race Theory, a divisive and false ideological “theory” that makes the world much more sinister and complicated than it actually is. Those who are in charge are there because of merit, they’ve earned the right to be in charge. Just look at Trump’s cabinet! DEI is filthy anti-meritocracy that needs to be killed!
There has been no substantial push back from Democrats on this simple principle that is it fair, just and decent to remedy historic prejudice by promoting qualified people long excluded by unfair institutional practices.
There is a lot to push back on when dealing with Nazis, granted, and the fascist right, with a four year running start as their front man escaped criminal liability for clear crimes, is spraying their propaganda from high powered hoses 24/7 as heavily armed masked agents from multiple federal agencies terrorize innocent people in various cities. But like the need for Democrats to have a Shadow Cabinet — experts in each field to immediately and publicly respond to the latest policy depredation from the brains behind Project 2025, enacted by their idiot front man — we need to counter the bullshit about the amorphous “danger” of DEI — and ending DEI being somehow a noble goal for government — with facts. No? Otherwise you have bloated fascists like Bill Barr warning Blacks that the cops won’t protect them unless they start to show some fucking respect.
USAID, dead, and mass killing
Speaking of the crazed onslaught of Project 2025’s audacious plan to make America as fascist as the Old Confederacy was, Big Balls and his enthusiastic young friends helped Trump loot and close down USAID, with the estimated 103 HOURLY deaths that resulted from their elimination of claimed “waste, fraud and abuse”. This massive, silent death toll (2,472 DAILY, 17,305 weekly, 74,160 monthly), caused directly by Project 2025 priorities, has not been reported on in months.
Every day the dismantling of USAID creates a silent 9/11 death toll (or twice the number of deaths Hamas terrorists inflicted on Israel on October 7 [1]), directly caused by the actions of the Trump administration, as President Project 2025 wildly, incoherently attacks his enemies, anybody who does not obey his every childish whim. The last reporting on the shuttering on USAID, which is projected to cause the atrocity of 14,000,000 preventable deaths in the next five years, was months ago. Too much horror to process, as there always is when Nazis are on the march, but process it we must if we are to remain human.
[1] or a daily toll of about 3.5% of the estimated 67,099 deaths (as of this post) in Gaza during Netanyahu’s war against civilians to destroy Hamas.
