Below is an irrefutable op-ed by Anthony Conwright, about the renaming of the Slaveholder Rebellion of 1861 to The War Between the States and finally The Civil War. This metamorphosis happened over the course of decades as the result of political lobbying by Confederate sympathizers. Conwright draws the straight line to Trump doing the same thing at warp speed with his January 6th Day of Love when peaceful, victim patriots went to the Capitol where they were met by violent libtard cuck traitor cops… Those who refuse to learn the lessons of the past, as they say, are continually fucked the same way.
We are living, as the curse goes, in interesting fucking times.

This full description of fascism was provided to US Army personnel in the European theater toward the end of World War Two, when democracy had finally, and at tremendous cost, was about to defeat fascism and reach a cautious stand-off with communism that would turn into the Cold War. This is from the great Heather Cox Richardson:
The political ideology called fascism grew out of World War I, when former socialist Benito Mussolini rejected the equality that defined democracy and came to believe that a few leaders must take a nation toward progress by directing the actions of the rest. These men must organize the people as they had been organized during wartime, ruthlessly suppressing all opposition and directing the economy so that businessmen and politicians worked together. And, logically, that select group of leaders would elevate a single man, who would become an all-powerful dictator. To weld their followers into an efficient machine, they demonized opponents into an “other” that their followers could hate.
This theory drove the Axis powers during World War II, and in 1945, the United States War Department explained to U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II what fascism was. The government focused less on the ideology of fascism than on its practical outcome.
Fascism, the pamphlet Army Talks explained, “is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.” “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.”
“The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence—democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law.” “Fascism treats women as mere breeders. ‘Children, kitchen, and the church,’ was the Nazi slogan for women,” the pamphlet said.
Fascists “make their own rules and change them when they choose…. They maintain themselves in power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of ‘blood’ and ‘race,’ by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security. The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and ‘realistic’ to be pitiless and violent.”source
And here’s how it’s done in a modern corporate society:
The sickening smiles at the end, between the journalist who asked a tough question and the tough guy who repeatedly danced away from answering it, are all about access. If you want someone like Jordan on your network, you have to smile and thank him at the end for stonewalling and essentially lying to your audience. Note that none of these guys are ever familiar with anything a journalist asks them about.
Then there is this tough guy presidential hopeful Nazi wannabe, bullying a retired public servant who gave the best available advice about preventing the spread of Covid, as his president lied about and weaponized the pandemic, killing hundreds of thousands Americans (including Herman Caine, who contracted the disease at a Trump rally), while countries that followed the practices Fauci advocated prevented countless deaths.
And finally, the State Department’s loyal lapdog to the Leader, presidential aspirant Little Marco, Viceroy of Venezuela, scourge of Cuba. He announces that the US wants to abolish the The International Criminal Court, take it down brick by brick because it weaponizes “statute” and “so-called international law”. The ICC was set up after decades of advocacy by idealists and humanists to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. It was created in response to the atrocities of the Nazis and the Japanese, and others, including the Soviet Union, during World War Two, and, horrifically, through the present day.
The US has never been bound by the ICC, Reagan explicitly repudiated its jurisdiction over the US when the ICC tried to hold him accountable for his illegal mining of Nicaragua’s harbor to aid the far-right Contras — who he also illegally gave millions to through the sales of munitions to Iran (Iran-Contra “scandal” — see Bill Barr, Act I) something explicitly barred by American law.
Trump hates the ICC because, theoretically, or even just symbolically, it could still move to hold him accountable for various war crimes, including the ongoing killing of over 200 fishermen at sea (accused, without evidence, of drug dealing — not a capital offense except in Duterte’s Philippines something he’s facing trial for at the ICC) and the reckless, pitiless murder of 165, mostly girls, at a girls’ school in Iran, not to mention war crime attacks on civilian infrastructure.
Getting rid of the International Criminal Court is the dream of every war criminal and mass murderer.If you think these people aren’t Nazis, think again.
Sorry, WordPress won’t allow me to embed this short video highlighting this last point. Here’s the link:
While Trump’s personal criminal lawyer Todd Blanche bobs and weaves, assuring senators with practiced lawyerly weasel words that he is no longer Trump’s personal criminal lawyer… “uh, excuse me, senator, I have to take this call from Mr. Trump…” MAGA is spraying its high-powered firehouse of cyclosporiasis full force.
Put that fucking liar and self-aggrandizing fraud Anthony Fauci on the stand, let him plead the Fifth over and over so we can’t get him for perjury as we let the country see how clearly guilty he is of being a lying, self-aggrandizing fraud. Look what he wrote in his personal diary! Like we couldn’t get our hands on it! Fauci had testified to Congress literally hundreds of times during his long term as head of the infectious disease unit at NIH. His opening remarks went into detail about why this session he was subpoenaed to attend, years after his retirement, was different.
This time it was purely political, a distracting partisan hate-fest as Trump implodes, to give FOX and the MAGAsphere endless talking points about what a lying, weaponizing dickhead Fauci was while he was nonchalantly killing a million Americans by ignoring Trump’s wise advice about not testing for Covid in order for the numbers not to keep going up and up.
To watch Josh “Fistpump/flee in terror” Hawley aggressively interrogate Fauci over what color his tie was, what color the carpet was, whether Fauci had a dick, was to see a Nazi go after a Jew in a German courtroom from the mid-thirties until the day Hitler blew his own brains out in a bunker. It brought to mind debate champ Lyin’ Ted Cruz’s Jew-baiting of mild-mannered nebbish AG Merrick Garland when he confronted Garland over the Nazi salute (directed at Jewish members of school boards) being protected First Amendment expression.Check out Rand! Paul bullying Fauci’s lawyer.
Not to be outdone by his senate colleagues Hawley and Paul, pugnacious, unpinnable college wrestling champ and law school graduate Jim Jordan made a criminal referral to Blanche accusing Jack Smith of perjury on an extremely weak theory. Let us not forget that Jordan defied a subpoena from his Congressional colleagues and awkwardly dodged questions live on FOX about his conversations with Trump as his Day of Love riot was going on at the Capitol. MAGA knows better than to take oaths.
Jordan (who never actually became a lawyer) made a perfectly-timed fanciful criminal referral for Jack Smith while Todd was on the ropes for his unflinching service to every corrupt Trump whim, his refusal to answer questions honestly, his participation in, and defense of, Trump’s fraudulent Trump v. IRS “settlements”, his refusal to put in writing what he stated under oath, his grudging, insulting, pro forma meeting with Epstein survivors, his incoherent, contemptuous two page court filing response to Katie Phang’s lawsuit against him for the release of Epstein files and redaction logs (both required under the EFTA), and all the rest. Jordan wrote his beautifully timed, if idiotic, criminal referral asking Blanche to investigate and prosecute Jack Smith for not answering a question Jordan and his colleagues never asked him. In other words: perjury by a man, a scumbag, actually, who simply hated and persecuted Trump for no reason! That will play well on FOX, OANN, Newsmax, Der Stürmer, et al.
Former U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general Harry Litman fully demolishes law school graduate Jim Jordan’s incoherent criminal referral here. This is what Republicans, running interference for the most corrupt president in world history, are saying about Jack Smith, who, unlike the rest of them, testified candidly under oath for hours.I turn this over to Harry:
Moreover, Trump and Judiciary Committee Republicans have undertaken a vicious defamatory campaign against Smith, part of the overall elaborate effort to whitewash Trump’s crimes. Trump called Smith a “deranged lunatic,” a “deranged animal,” a “criminal” who should be “thrown out of the country.” Grassley called his investigation “a runaway train that had no brakes” and declared in an official Senate Judiciary Committee press release that Smith and his “merry band of DOJ partisans weaponized the justice system” and that “it’s no surprise Smith didn’t play by the rules.” Kennedy, speaking to reporters outside the Blanche confirmation hearing, said: “I think he hates Republicans. He exercises power emotionally and immaturely. And I think he ought to have his head in a bag.” Cruz called the prosecutions “the worst political lawfare this country has ever seen.”
A defense against spurious false statement charges would serve as a public relitigation of Smith’s prosecutions and the mountains of evidence they were built on. It would remind the country—and re-establish for the historical record—who played their hand straight and who palmed the cards.
The hearing contained false and misleading statements, but they weren’t Jack Smith’s. In every public appearance, Smith has been scrupulous and by-the-book, which only makes sense since he knows the administration has him in its crosshairs.
The misconduct and false witness are on the other side: Trump, still lying about his crimes; Blanche, still straddling the untenable position of representing DOJ and his former client; Senate Republicans, still hiding under Trump’s coattails and hypocritically assailing Smith; and Jordan, in the self-appointed role of Torquemada, arrogantly leveling nonsensical charges against the one man in this farcical episode who actually followed the law.
Trump loves “acting” officials, and they love you, sir!
Trump sued the BBC for $10,000,000,000 in monetary harm because he claims the BBC aired a clip of his speech on January 6, 2021 that maliciously and knowingly defamed him. Trump claims the British Broadcasting Corporation viciously, knowingly and deceptively edited his more than hour long January 6, 2021 Ellipse speech to make it sound like he urged an angry, armed crowd, without a parade permit, to walk down to the Capitol and make sure Mike Pence did the right (if not strictly legal) thing, and to fight (peacefully, peacefully!) like hell or they wouldn’t have a country anymore (the savage dark-skinned eaters of pet cats and dogs would get it, and put them all to the sword, presumably). It seems the BBC has no incentive to fold to Trump’s incoherent defamation demands in the TEN BILLION dollar lawsuit against them, like CBS, ABC and other spineless US broadcast corporations.
Now BBC, as the party sued, is entitled to discovery from MAGA man to prove his monetary damages as he tries to prevail on his claim that their version of his speech was inaccurate and deliberately false and harmful to his reputation and his finances (defamatory). The court gave the BBC, who has already turned over thousands of pages of evidence to Trump’s lawyers (Trump turned over about 700 pages, fair is fair) the greenlight to get Trump’s relevant business records (evidence of $10,000,000,000 in monetary harm) and depose people who were in his Day of Love War Room, the Oval Office and on the phone with him, in the days leading up to, and including, January 6th. Trump’s lawyers tried to withdraw the monetary damages part a few days ago, to protect his problematic financial records from becoming part of the court file, but the federal magistrate blocked that attempt. Be careful what you wish for, boss.
This childish and vindictive fellow has a thing about not needing to produce evidence of anything. The 2020 Donald Trump for President reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee, prior to the election Trump lost, brought over a hundred lawsuits to try to limit mail-in voting, drop boxes and other forms of early and absentee voting — during the pandemic, mind you. They lost almost all of these cases, for lack of evidence of voter fraud, proof of vote dilution, systematic Black cheating, Libtard cuck cheating, Feminazi cheating, Illegal ALIEN cheating, communist skullduggery, etc.
Remember, Trump claimed, without evidence, of course, that he’d been robbed of the popular vote win in his 2016 Electoral College victory by massive voter fraud, dead Mexicans voting for Hillary by the millions, as I recall him saying. A regular zombie apocalypse. He announced the appointment if Mike Pence and a MAGA schmuck from Kansas named Kobach to head a voter fraud commission. Their rigorous investigation ended in no finding of fraud and they closed up shop without bringing charges against anybody.
Announcing the formation of this voter fraud commission was one of those reptilian Trump propaganda moves, like when he told state election officials to just say there had been fraud and he and his friends in Congress would do the rest. Or when he told Zelensky to just announce an investigation into Hunter Biden on American TV, no investigation necessary. Or when he had a guy who dipped his hand into the reflecting pool indicted for a felony. Or when he subpoenaed New York Times reporters to a grand jury — subpoenas that were withdrawn by Todd Blanche’s DOJ when a judge gave him the choice of withdrawing them or having them quashed.
The reason Pence and Kobach didn’t find those millions of dead Mexicans who voted for Hillary in 2020 is clear enough. Here’s the far-right, Project 2025 Heritage Foundation’s authoritative Voter Fraud Database. Take a look. Explore the data, as the good folks at the Heritage Foundation invite you to.
You will see literally hundreds of cases of voter fraud documented over the last forty years or so — out of maybe a billion votes cast. The incidence of fraud is something like 0.0001%, which looks as bad as it is. There’s no widespread fucking voter fraud. Truth has never been an obstacle to psychopaths.
These lawless sociopaths believe judges Trump appointed are Trump judges and should rule like Aileen Cannon, the unleashed Colombian-born Kraken in her cozy Florida federal court. To their credit, many of the federally judges Trump appointed are not corrupt. I followed one of the 2020 Trump/RNC voter suppression lawsuits in Western Pennsylvania and was very impressed by 43 year-old Federalist Society member, Trump appointee J. Nicholas Ranjan, who wrote one of the most thorough dismantlings of a baselees lawsuit I ever read (tediously detailed highlights here).
When Judge Ranjan granted the motion from every sued county election board in Pennsylvania and ordered Trump/RNC to produce evidence of their claims, Trump/RNC told him they didn’t need evidence to prove their case. Then they produced boxes of screenshots from public opinion shaping entertainment outfits FOX, Breitbart, OANN, Newsmax, Der Stürmer, Völkischer Beobachter [1], etc.
Pugnacious dickhead, Trump-booster and supremely qualified chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, a wiry college wrestler who could not be pinned, a law school graduate who did not pass the bar exam, an adult witness to sexual predation of college wrestlers who maintained Omerta to protect his boss (allegedly), sent fellow Trump lover Todd “I am, was, his criminal lawyer” Blanche a criminal referral urging him to investigate, indict and prosecute Jack Smith for perjury. The charge is based on a very attenuated legal theory, and, MAGA-style, with no credible evidence of a crime (Smith’s alleged perjury was in not answering a question he was not asked), in clear reprisal for Smith’s unpardonable public crimes against the Leader, a man unfairly subjected to countless witch hunts.
Smith, in Jordan’s learned legal opinion, committed perjury when he lyingly answered a question posed by a MAGA interrogator about phone evidence he’d legally obtained as part of his investigation into the January 6th plot Jordan was a key player in. Recall Jordan’s twitchy tap dance when asked live on FOX if he talked to the president before or during the riot at the Capitol, recall his stuttering evasiveness. Jordan also disobeyed a Congressional subpoena and refused to testify before the January 6th Committee. Senator Josh Hawley, neither as stupid or as uneducated as Jordan, and an actual lawyer, jumped on Jordan’s idiot theory, with the alacrity he showed scooting away from the rioters he’d fist pumped on his way into the Capitol an hour or two earlier, calling Smith a “serial perjurer”, presumably for his answers to questions asked, and not asked, about phone logs obtained showing calls to and from Trump as he attempted to overturn the 2020 election results.
Evidence? The phones, including call records and hundreds of real time texts, of Secret Service agents and others at DHS intimately involved with Trump on January 6, 2021, were wiped clean under the watchful eye of corrupt Department of Homeland Security inspector general Joseph Cuffari. That mother violator, who waited six months (the time after which it would be impossible to retrieve any of this crucial evidence) to inform Congress that there were no texts or phone records from those around Trump as he fomented his insurrection, is still in his job, through multiple scandals and four years of Biden, one of the few IGs who survived Trump’s immediate Project 2025 purge of all agency watchdogs. Because when you have someone good, and loyal, who will bury evidence to help you out, you don’t fire someone like that.
Because when it comes to winning or losing, in the court of public opinion, what the fuck does evidence have to do with it anyway, am I right?
[1] The “fighting paper of the National Socialist movement of Greater Germany“, or “Kampfblatt der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung Großdeutschlands” as it called itself, had its origin as the Münchener Beobachter, or “Munich Observer”, an antisemitic semi-weekly scandal-oriented paper which in 1918 was acquired by the Thule Society with financial backing by Käthe Bierbaumer and, in August 1919, was renamed Völkischer Beobachter (see Völkisch and Völkisch movement).
JD Vance said it a few years ago, before Trump won the Electoral College to become president, that Trump could be “America’s Hitler”. Vance also compared Trump to heroin; Trump personally injects his poison into the veins of millions of hopeless, suffering Americans who become addicted to his rage and hatred. Now the unlikable sucking vacuum of Vice President Vance is poised for those very jobs, without a shred of the showman’s talent of our inimitable American Hitler, and with no sense of irony whatsoever. Oh, well.
We have a network of lucrative, privatized concentration camps owned by mega-MAGA donors — that we taxpayers pay for — and daily quotas for immigrant detentions (now totaling nearly 40,000 nationwide — cah-ching!) set by our own raging powerful Jewish Nazi, Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, a perpetually seething racist nobody elected (or would elect). I don’t understand fucking Jewish Nazis any more than I understand Blacks who embrace the vicious worldview of the Ku Klux Klan. Maybe Uncle Clarence can explain that to me, in one of his learned dissents…
Speaking of Nazi fucks, ICE, Trump/Miller’s well-funded, masked gestapo, has murdered several more people recently, two by shooting into their cars in the last week. This criminal outfit uses the same lie after every murder, “they weaponized their car to try to kill us” to justify shooting into moving cars to kill drivers or passengers.
The story is bullshit every time, as we all saw in the video of Renee Good’s murder by Jonathan Ross of ICE, whose own phone video ends with him calling the woman he shot in the face a “fucking bitch”. Of course, ICE prevented a doctor from attending to the dying Ms. Good, who they then publicly defamed as a “terrorist”. There was no car involved when ICE agents pinned Alex Pretti to the ground and shot him in the back repeatedly, but in that case, because they removed a legally possessed gun from his belt, they were, according to MAGA, morally entitled to kill him (just like the cops had every right to shoot Kyle Rittenhouse in the head after he killed people, and what about J6 Day of Love’s poor, martyred Ashli Babbitt WHO DID NOTHING WRONG and a Black guy shot her dead!?? — a bit of MAGA irony for ya…).
If American citizens can be murdered, on video, without any consequence by masked “federal law enforcement”, what hope does a Mexican man like Lorenzo Salgado Araujo (father of three American college graduate sons, shot to death in Houston) and Colombian citizen Joan Sebastian Guerrero (murdered in Maine with his three year-old daughter in the car) [1] have against the unleashed state sanctioned deadly violence of the US federal government?
This legalized government murder (the two men above were both identified by ICE post mortem as not the men they were looking for) and the countless deaths in detention (a number we’ll never know), is right out of the the Third Reich’s early mass murder playbook. You can only set up the death camps once the population accepts the government’s right to kill anyone they deem “other” or in any way undesireable.Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio delivered a speech the other day about hunting down “terrorist”enemies on the “left” in the US and worldwide, presumably all anti-fascists, the kind of people who protest outside of ICE concentration camps, presumably, or post mean things like this on the internet.

According to America’s president, ICE agents are well within their rights to shoot to kill anyone who doesn’t immediately stop their cars when cut off by an unmarked ICE van, put their hands up when heavily armed, masked men demand it, and allow themselves to be handcuffed, hooded, sent to a private concentration camp and shipped off to some dangerous “shithole country” whose language they don’t speak. Here’s a “Truth” directly from Trump’s ass, from the other day:
But at 6:45 this morning, Trump insisted—incorrectly—that the people ICE is rounding up are “Criminals, and we have to get them out. In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. I.C.E., be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job. Keep those Crime Stat Records coming! Remember, you are loved and respected in America.”source
We’ll be at a local vigil to remember and honor the two innocent men slaughtered in the street by Trump/Miller’s epic fury outfit, ICE. And to say their names, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. What is wrong with people who accept the cold-blooded, brutal murder of innocents, and the lifelong trauma to their children, families and friends? Tom Homan, Markwayne Mullin, what the fuck happened to you to turn you into the unredeemed, murder-justifying, bootlicking asshole lackies you are today?
Todd Blanche, who piously claims to follow the law and the facts without fear or favor (as long as Trump tells him what the law and the facts are, what the fear is and what the favor is) will no doubt launch a full investigation into these ICE murders, as soon as he’s done meeting with a few of the adult women he doxed, including by publishing their nude photos as teenagers, in an innocent mistake made while being totally transparent about the heavily redacted, largely unreleased, nothing-to-see here, now totally released, Epstein files. It’s a ceremonial meeting with a small contingent of the Epstein survivors or have his nomination die in committee. One has to wonder what turned Mr. Blanche into a soul-dead psychopath. Or every Republican in the Senate and House, for that matter.
[1] from the NY Times:
Mary Hayes, who also lives nearby, said she looked outside at about 7:30 a.m., after seeing social media posts about the shooting. She saw a white car with the driver’s side window blown out, she said, and bullet holes in the windshield.
There was also a woman on her knees, screaming, Ms. Hayes said, alongside a young girl with a pink backpack who was being comforted by another child.
“I heard agony,” Ms. Hayes said. “I heard a howl that came from your soul, that your whole life had just changed and it was never going to be the same.” source
Trump criminal attorney, former and present, Todd Blanche, stood at a podium when he was elevated to Acting Attorney General and addressed Trump directly, telling him that whatever Trump decides his service to Trump and his agenda will be, Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General or no government role at all, “I’d say ‘thank you very much, I love you, sir”.
Blanche is neither an honest person nor a remotely ethical one. He should be repeatedly asked one question during his upcoming confirmation hearings. This excellent yes or no question was raised by Andrew Weissmann, former Department of Justice official . “Yes or no question. Is Donald Trump’s name in the millions of pages of Epstein files you have not released?”
I can hear Blanche, glancing over at the clock he needs to run out, stone faced, doing what they all do. “Senator… sen-a-tor… I have already answered that question and yet you persist in re-asking it over and over… Senator, do not try to reclaim your time, I am an officer of the court, senator, and the Acting Attorney General of The United States of America and you will treat me with the respect I am entitled to under the law. I serve the Constitution, as well as my client, Mr. Trump, the greatest American to ever occupy the Oval Office. Don’t interrupt me, senator…”
Blanche has already demonstrated his unfitness for the job over and over again. He has defied the law Donald Trump signed regarding full release of the unredacted Epstein files, on orders from his boss and sole client, Donald J. Trump. Blanche has the temperament of an angry, self-righteous lackey. He has disgraced the DOJ in ways even Bill Barr would not stoop to, though Barr was a lying abomination in the role of America’s top law enforcement officer.
Blanche’s opendefiance of federal law, his brazen stonewalling of the Epstein Files Transparency Act alone, should disqualify him. So should the shameless services he rendered to Trump in the fake case Trump v. IRS that Trump brought against himself to get billions of taxpayer dollars, to fund an army of armed insurgents to disrupt the midterm elections. In a side deal, the next day, Trump/Blanche granted Trump and his accursed kin all immunity from IRS audits.
Regarding Epstein, how many times will the survivors of Epstein’s abuse have to make themselves heard before the law is enforced and the guilty men of power are held accountable, even if only be named publicly? Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person convicted connections to Epstein’s years of sexual abuse of junior high school girls, after speaking with Mr. Blanche, got a nice change of prison, from a high security one for sex offenders, to a much more pleasant one where she can practice yoga, have catered meals and her own puppy. Blanche has now changed DOJ rules togive himself the unappealable right to move federal prisoners anywhere he wants, with or without cause, reason or explanation. That’s how democracy works, if you’re a fascist working directly for the corrupt leader.
Check out the courage and dignity of these women. Compare it to the absence of courage and dignity in Todd Blancheand his MAGA confederates
And they made this video months earlier, when Epstein’s longtime Girl Friday, Lesley Groff [1], appeared to lie repeatedly to James Comer’s House Committee that hosted her for an informal conversation that was not videotaped or given under oath.
[1] The controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement Epstein entered into with the Justice Department named Groff as a potential co-conspirator that the U.S. “will not institute any criminal charges against.”
Following Epstein’s 2019 death by suicide [there is no doubt he was suicided, by whom is the question — ed], the Justice Department continued investigating people connected to him, including Groff. A 2019 Justice Department list of Epstein family and associates named Groff as a “co-conspirator.” The list also included Maxwell.
A memo describing the department’s investigation after Epstein’s suicide details Groff’s interactions with Epstein’s survivors, including scheduling appointments, arranging travel and completing payments.
This ABC reporter did exactly what the former American Olympian David Hearn did when he reached into the newly weaponized Lincoln/Washington Memorial reflecting pool. There’s no law against it, obviously. Yet, just days after Jonathan Karl committed this act openly, on camera, broadcast to millions, Hearn was arrested and indicted, essentially accused of vandalism amounting to symbolic anti-state terrorism by a powerful lackey of the Terrorist-in-Chief and the blustering orange bully himself.
There is no case against David Hearn, though he’s being threatened hard by the full force of Trump’s federal government which can bring tremendous pressure to bear on individuals it targets with criminal prosecution. The pool, after its inept $14,000,000 no-bid renovation, has since been drained again. There is no 300 foot gash at the bottom of the empty pool as the Liar-in-Chief has been insisting antifa violently slashed into his perfect pool job (they’re also responsible for the algae, clearly). There are only the tire tracks from that insane idiot’s motorcade which drove over the resurfaced pool bottom shortly before the pool was refilled with water.
Hey, yo, Truth, Justice and the American Way can go fuck themselves, antifa cucks that they are.
Meanwhile, as I tap these words, senators are asking questions of a Nazi nominee for Attorney General (“there is no law against being a Nazi, if the president tells me to be a Nazi, that’s the president’s right and I will tell him ‘I love you, sir, sieg heil!’“) who evades each question with the deadpan nonchalance of a soul dead psychopath.
That nominee is treating a judge’s recent ruling on the fake Slush Fund case, Trump v. IRS — Trump/Blanche was both plaintiff and defendant and the fake “settlements” are void for a variety of reasons — as merely her opinion, until all appeals are exhausted and the Federalist Six get to rule on it, presumably… ah, I can barely edit these sentences.
Of all lifetime federal district court judges, only the pronouncements of MAGA’s own Judge Aileen Cannon must be treated as binding federal law by these Nazi fucks. All others, including Jack Smith, abide by her insane, counter-factual, cover-up, glaring appearance of impropriety rulings because, as a federal judge she is legally entitled to make them, even if she is pulling her “reasoning” directly out of Black Klansman Clarence Thomas’s crusty ass.
Representing the government, Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that the president must be able to remove officials in the agencies because “the President must have the power to control and…the one who has the power to remove is the one who…is the person that they have to fear and obey.”source
Sauer, if memory serves, is the RFK Jr.-voiced Trump myrmidon who argued, in the aptly named, dystopian Trump v. United States, that, sure, the president could legally send Seal Team Six to execute political opponents (or witnesses, or anyone else, really). Only if he thought it was in the best interests of his agenda, of course. They won that case, like yesterdays Slaughter case (sometimes the name really tells the story) that gives Fuckface the right to fire the head of any government agency with cause or without cause. In Republican states that’s called “right to work”. You serve at the pleasure of the boss, end of story. It worked during slavery as it works today. USA! USA!!!
Psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, in The Nazi Doctors, pointed out that doctors were the first professional group in Germany to fully Nazify. German doctors did this voluntarily, assertively, as soon as Hitler was in power. No Jews, all doctors with “Jewish blood” out, every German doctor had to a loyal member of the Nazi party to practice medicine in Germany.
Not surprising to me that doctors were the first, especially in light of some of the arrogant, contemptuous, corporate medical experts I’ve seen in the last few years, including one actual psychopath. See also the complicity of the American Psychiatric Association in suppressing the findings of dozens of psychiatrists, including Lifton, in regard to the dangerous instability of Donald J. Trump during his first term. It’s not my point here to bash doctors, although many highly admired doctors are self-involved schmucks and the opposite of healers.
I would guess, without any evidence at the moment (just like the Trump legal eagles in their false charging affidavits), that German lawyers were the second German profession to fully Nazify themselves. Public distaste for lawyers needs no elaboration, but there is a special breed that embraces fascists in a democracy.
The legal and medical professions are full of ambitious, competitive, self-aggrandizing people (as well as many people of fine character and the best motives). Put a Nazi regime in charge of their careers and many (the worst of them), once the Nazi has solidified power and control, will become more fervent Nazis than the Leader himself. This is observable throughout history.
It is plainly observable with Trump’s craven, lying criminal defense team at the Department of Justice. Their bottom shelf lawyers (many of the best at DOJ have quit or been fired for things like taking their ethical duties seriously, or doing their jobs on a nonpartisan basis) torment and prosecute the enemies of their enraged, paranoid master. They do this at the whim of a man who is awake ranting on social media nonstop throughout the night, and sleeps through meetings and even the staged $60,000,000 gladiatorial event the 80 year-old birthday boy threw for himself on the south law of the White House. That Mr. Trump is insane is also easily observable (sorry, American Psychiatric Association).
The coverup of crimes, which indicates a consciousness of guilt that is admissible against defendants in criminal prosecutions, is often worse than the crimes being hidden. In Trump’s case, both are heinous. He also has an unbroken lifelong pattern and practice of committing crimes and covering them up. Hence the “settlement” of his fraudulent case against his own IRS, an attempt to make sure any of his likely frauds against the IRS (and the American taxpayers) remain unpunished, in perpetuity.
A group of the president’s sycophants met in panicked secret meetings to strategize how to protect the Orange Polyp (and, more importantly, their own careers) from what is revealed about his behavior in the 6,000,000 documents of the Epstein files. Against the advice of anyone who knew anything about the strategic use of military force, Trump attacked Iran, based on lies and in support of a fellow autocrat, Bibi Netanyahu, a plague on the world in his own right. The mass murder Trump unleashed was a crime against humanity. The “memorandum of understanding” his expert real estate baron negotiators hammered out with Iran appears to be unconditional surrender to Iran. For starters, it gives Iran exponentially more billions, and more future power, than the JCPOA, Obama’s hated deal did. So, why not keep it secret? It is a great triumph, that Trump so quickly forced Iran to its knees!
The worst part of all this, to me, is the violent, hate-inspiring lies. Nazism, like all fascist movements, is founded on lies and depends on people believing those lies. White Supremacy? Trump rips up a deal painstakingly negotiated by skilled diplomats and scientists because it was signed under a Black president. One of Obama’s parents was “white”, of course, which I mention because only in a racist society does this need to be said (he said, triggering racists who believe only whites can be persecuted).
Trump ripping up Obama’s JCPOA is white supremacy in a nutshell. Rip up the Black guy’s carefully considered plan, hammered out by experts over the course of several years (and cosigned by Russia, China, the EU and other nations), because the president at the time was a fucking “n-word,” as the KKK will always insist. Send two completely unqualified real-estate billionaires to quickly cover up your failed mass bombing of Iran after shredding the deal, claim victory and unconditional surrender — while not revealing the terms of the memorandum of understanding. An enraged white supremacist, without any need for thought beforehand, reflexively joins his fellow white supremacist in illegally mass murdering the innocent brown people whose repressive government signed the deal with the Black guy. Maybe the worst part, beyond even the lying, is the vicious, heedless, proud stupidity of these race-obsessed fascists.
Trump’s government lawyers (leaving aside their oath to support the Constitution and protect the rights of citizens, not “the boss”), like all lawyers, are considered officers of the court. As officers of the court hey are bound by oath to tell the truth, to not resort to scumbag tactics, not to bring frivolous charges without evidence against people the boss instructs them to investigate and prosecute, not to lie to grand juries, or redact their lies when a judge forces them to turn over grand jury transcripts (unheard of with any previous administration). The Department of Justice was always given the “presumption of regularity” from federal judges. Judges took the DOJ at its word in all previous administrations. In the administration of the Lyin’ King — there is no longer the presumption that the poisonous toads King Turd sends to court to torture his enemies are telling the truth. Latest case in point:
Today U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced his office was charging fifteen people with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers over their behavior during the federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis last year that led to the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Rosen alleges that the defendants are part of two “antifa” groups that “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.”
At the press conference about the charges, prosecutors introduced a Facebook post from one of the accused that said: “We need to become ungovernable.” Journalist Aaron Rupar noted: “Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing.” It’s actually even more embarrassing than that: Trump attended the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 when its theme was “Become Ungovernable,” and stood in front of the banner bearing that slogan, so the idea that the phrase is part of a criminal conspiracy will be awkward to argue.
From Minneapolis, Matt Sepic of MPR News reported that Rosen said the people were “charged not for what they said but what they did.” But Rosen did not answer questions about whether any law enforcement officers were injured and said evidence would come out later. Sepic notes that federal prosecutors charged thirty-six people with assaulting or impeding immigration agents in December and January, but have now dropped eighteen of the cases entirely and eleven more through nonprosecution agreements. Sepic notes that Magistrate Judge David Schultz in April called one of the prosecutors’ charging documents a “false affidavit.”source
Obedience to a constantly raging, racist idiot is abhorrent to decency, democracy and the rule of law. Of course, there will always be lawyers (think fucking Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, Pam Bondi) who will do the bidding of the man in power — no matter how immoral, illegal or otherwise repugnant. Among German lawyers under Mr. Hitler the principle was Führerworte haben Gesetzeskraft –– the Leader’s every fart has the force of law. This is most horrible when the Leader is an insanely enraged and prodigiously flatulent motherfucker.
As we wait for Trump’s former criminal lawyer to explain, under oath to a federal judge in Florida, why Trump’s suit as a private citizen, against an executive branch agency he controls, was not conspiracy to commit a fraud on the court, I am reminded of a couple of Trump’s other “under the radar” frauds. This one in Florida is a huge one: $1,776,000,000 fund to pay rioters and klansmen and part two — retroactive immunity for Trump, family and all associates for any IRS audits. Today is the deadline for Blanche to put in writing how this “settlement” wasn’t a fraud on the court — and the American people. Now on to two low-flying, but stinking, Trumpish frauds nobody has done anything about.
I know it seems impossible that an American president would lie about an assassination attempt on himself, perhaps even set it up himself, but that pre-convention shots fired at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally has always had a very bad smell. It did to me at the time, immediately. The suspicious timing of it, itself, was highly suspicious, as was every other detail. Of course, Trump exploited his enraged rhetorical ecosystem to ensure his fake enemies would be too cowed to publicly question, let alone denounce, the stunt that left his bullet scarred ear intact. To suggest that a man, even Donald Trump, would stage a deadly shooting seemed indecorous and disgusting — we all condemn gun violence and have a cultural instinct to support the victims who survive it. Trump has won many rounds of the propaganda war this way, preemptively accusing his enemies of things he’s planning, conspiring to do, carrying out secretly while crowing about the transparency of his criminal regime.
Have you looked at the ear that was sliced (or smeared with fake wrestling blood behind the podium when Secret Service took him to the ground) when God stretched out His mighty arm to spare His chosen presidential candidate by a fraction of an inch and merely kill one of the faceless supporters seated behind him? The killing of that Trump supporter (I wonder if the dead man’s family got a fraction of what rioter Ashley Babbitt’s mom and Mike “Lock ME UP!!” Flynn got) was needed to prove deadly fire, rather than staged fake deadly theatrics, and the man’s death established the deadliness of the shots fired, without a doubt.
Them was deadly bullets that whizzed by POTUS 45 — without touching him, of course, because God protects Christ’s representative on earth (millions of the faithful actually believe this shit with unalterable faith). Then the young assassin, known to be a poor marksman, seconds after he fired the deadly shot, was shot multiple times in the head, blowing his head completely off his body, and shortly thereafter, cremated. No medical records on the “near fatal” shooting of the former (and sickeningly future) president. No investigation, nothing thing to see here. Only respect and sympathy from his high minded opponents for a man “almost killed”. Check out his fucking ear.
The same goes for Trump Magic Ear’s miraculous, God-delivered victory in all seven swing states in 2024. For a candidate who didn’t win 50% of the vote to take all seven swing states, by virtually identical margins just above the margin that triggers an automatic recount, would take a miracle — or some kind of high tech manipulation of electronic voting data. He won a few swing states where he was the only Republican on the ballot to win anything. The state elected all Democrats, and still, Trump, by a margin that triggered ! If that isn’t proof of God’s will, I don’t know what is.
The problem in the fight between decent people and indecent ones is that cheating psychopaths have a huge public perception advantage. You can’t question a fake assassination, or a highly suspicious rigged election, without looking like the very psychopath you oppose, somehow. I don’t really get it at this point, when the man who told 30,000 documented lies during his first administration now hits that total every week, but there it is, somehow.
You don’t fight bullies by becoming like them, you fight them by standing up, looking them in the eye, calling them out for the violent cowards they are. The bully’s terror is being unable to get people to fear him. I understand the fear of a powerful bully with an army of heavily armed goons and a goon squad of debased, unethical lawyers and other enablers. I get the reluctance of good people to be subjected to the hideous reprisals, including lawsuits designed to target you as an enemy and bankrupt you. Having these petty, illegal, occasionally murderous, acts done in his name delights someone like Trump. He can dish them out in massive portions, with no fear for himself since lackeys are always in the line of fire, physically and metaphorically, and the only bullets that will ever come near him are the ones he himself arranges in his pro-wrestling fake “Reality TV” presidency.
Another recent shot of the ear, and America’s incredibly weak “strong man”:
In the words of the great George Lopez — fuck that puto.
