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!!!

MAGA insists on the right to be incoherent!

Jennifer Rubin used a phrase in a recent Substack piece that really puts the entire Trump political brand into a great frame. “In other words, coherent policy is impossible without an accurate understanding.” Trump reflexively makes coherent policy impossible by erasing the possibility of understanding with constant lies over mass media, threatening, bragging and bringing about the “complete and total obliteration” of fact for a large swath of Americans. 

The reason MAGA gets away with doing all these objectively incoherent things (take from the nation’s poor and elderly, while creating American carnage, to give more to Koch, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Musk, $Trump et al) is because they “totally and completely obliterate”  any grounds for accurate understanding of the forces involved by indignantly insisting on their right to be incoherent (see, for example, Lisa Murkowski). 

Trump claims that the US “totally and completely obliterated” Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program with its illegal bombing of three sites after Israel disabled Iran’s air defenses. No discussion of war crimes or Trump’s flagrant violation of the War Powers Act because… complete and total victory! Pam Bondi answers questions, under oath, about her department’s shady, partisan, unethical behavior by bellowing about Biden’s supposedly weaponized DOJ, Benghazi, trans athletes, whatever other Fox talking point comes to mind.  I forgot until the other day that she was one of Trump’s lawyers during his second impeachment; it makes perfect sense when you hear her yelling at senators and accusing them of being partisan commie hacks.  Incoherence is MAGA’s brand, coherent policy is not a consideration, enforcing their collective will is their only priority. 

Incoherence is professional conman Trump’s natural milieu, stoking confusion, lying and attacking, while strutting in a childish display of “strength” as he threatens violence he knows the more unhinged of his cult will eagerly carry out, when the moment is right.  His constant dance of rage destroys the possibility of any productive discussion, let alone one based on an accurate understanding of discernible facts — the facts are his deadly enemy, like anyone who honestly reports them.

This is what tyrannical personalities always do.  Control the discourse by framing the terms and, in the case of a Hitler or Trump, making the frame as incoherent, chaotic, threatening, distracting, terrifying and enraging as possible.   Instead of Trump on the spot, the news cycle focused on the president forced to defend himself to Congress for his blatant violation of the War Powers Act and his war crime bomber attack on Iran, he strikes poses on TV, bragging, threatening and twisting arms to get all media attention on his arbitrary deadline for his Big, Beautiful “let’s make the poor so desperate we can provoke them to violence and have the police state we all want” bill to his Resolute desk so he can claim another big win, another 51-50 mandate. 

Tanking the economy for working people and increasing general fear and anxiety are necessary ingredients for the completion of the determined lurch toward American fascism that has been Charles Koch’s well-funded project since at least 1980. Without economic despair in Germany, no Hitler. Without similar conditions here, no American fascism. Turn up the heat enough on poor Americans, let enough of them go hungry, force them to care for elderly, sick parents at home, die of treatable diseases, use enough heavy handed Gestapo-like tactics against innocent immigrants and political opponents, openly weaponize the Department of Justice, and people will eventually begin to freak out. Time to bring in the troops, led by Mr. Insurrection Act, General Mike “Lock Her Up” Flynn.

Trump’s claim after Mueller laid out ten prosecutable instances of obstruction of justice was also “complete and total exoneration.”   The overemphasis is always a tell that he’s lying, as Jen Rubin points out, although his mouth moving is another tell.   Of course, like obliteration, there’s only one kind of exoneration, it means — beyond being found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt — you were deemed innocent of the charges because evidence ruled out your guilt or the guilty party was found, tried and convicted of the crime you were accused of.  That we are in the hands of an insane, perpetually enraged and emotionally needy two year-old, does not speak well of our culture.

On our culture, I recommend Gabor Mate’s The Myth of Normal.  The book really lays out the toxic nature of our kind of normal. 

Trump’s perfectly normal, in this upside down world that normalizes people like him.  Hannah Arendt described Eichmann’s behavior during the Third Reich and pointed out that everything he did was perfectly normal, in Nazi Germany where an insane megalomaniac’s every spoken word was, literally, the law.   

One of the psychiatrists who examined Eichmann before the trial was asked by the court if Eichmann was sane for purposes of standing trial.  “Saner than I am, at any rate, after talking to him for two hours,” the shrink said.  Eichmann’s inability to think for himself (reflected by his inability to express himself, beyond cliches), to consider anything beyond what was “normal” at the time, is what marked him as the perfect Nazi bureaucrat.  

Here’s another perfect Nazi bureaucrat, a violent rioter tasked with helping to weaponize the government against all enemies of the Leader. You can’t make this stuff up…

Lisa Murkowski for president

Today’s profile in spinelessness goes to Alaska senator Lisa Murkowski who voted “yea” effectively casting the deciding vote for The Act [1], a bill she said repeatedly she didn’t support. A senator who raised his fist to an insurrectionist mob, Josh Hawley, can be counted on to sincerely express grave concerns about the serious damage a bill will do to working poor people in his state and then follow his conscience and vote to pass the bill, but Murkowski, it seemed (until today), still wanted to be seen as a person of independent judgment, integrity and good character. A sturdy spined, independent woman, like the senator from Maine, one of three Republicans who voted to kill the killer bill. Thank you, Susan Collins, 75% of our nation — and a legitimately frightened world — is grateful for your reality-affirming vote. As for Ms. Murkowski, read the transcript of her incredibly idiotic answer (and confession) to the accusation that she’d sold out the country for a deal that helps her state.

After she cast what amounts to the deciding vote (a vote any one of the remaining 50 Republicans could have made, of course, Lyin’ Ted, Lindsey, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, Joni Ernst) in favor of a brutally unfair budget that punishes the poor and vulnerable to enrich the already obscenely rich, she was asked by NBC reporter Ryan Nobles what her response was to senator Rand Paul’s statement that she’d bailed out Alaska at the expense of the country:

“Oh my God… (then there was a long silence, and a long glare from Murkowski, then the reporter clarified that Paul had said that, repeated it, and asked for her response) …

“… my response is… I have an obligation to the people of the state of Alaska and I live up to that every single day. I fight for my state’s interests and I make sure that Alaskans are understood. I work hard to take care of the state that has more unique … situations … more unique people, and it’s just different. And so, when people suggest that federal dollars go to one of our fifty states in a quote “bail out”, I find that offensive. I advocated for my state’s interests, I will continue to do that and I make no excuses for doing that.

“Do I like this bill? No, because I tried to take care of my state but I know, I know that in many parts of the country there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill. I don’t like that. I don’t like… the fact… that we moved to an artificial deadline, an artificial time line to produce something to meet a deadline, rather than to actually try to produce the best bill for the country. But when I saw the direction it was going, you can either say ‘I don’t like it’ and not try to help my state, or you can roll up your sleeves… [and lick the Leader’s ‘ring’, as required, and get the best possible deal in exchange for my vote]”

“Do I like this bill? No, because I tried to take care of my state but I know, I know that in many parts of the country there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill. I don’t like that.”

“In many parts of the country there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill.”

And Lisa Murkowski doesn’t like that, not at all. Also, she didn’t like the artificial emergency and the pressure to pass the bill before the Fourth of July, didn’t like any of that at all. There hadn’t been time to fully debate the bill and make the best amendments to it, or even to read the final version in full. She didn’t like that. At the same time, when the moment came, she rightfully considered only the best quid pro quo she could get to make sure Alaskans, unique among the citizens of all fifty states, were not among those Americans who were “not going to be advantaged by this bill.”

”But when I saw the direction it was going, you can either say ‘I don’t like it’ and not try to help my state, or you can roll up your sleeves… [and obey the Leader’s will, as required]”

No, Lisa. You roll up your sleeves, vote “nay” and get back to work drafting a better bill if you believe millions of Americans will “not be advantaged by” a viciously cruel bill. All it would have taken to defeat “the direction it was going” was to say no to the naked quid pro quo (which you admitted to in your answer, fool) and vote to return the bill for further revision.

Imagine a person as dumb as a pile of shit. Ask it to respond to a critical comment about how it made a special deal that sold out the American people. I expect its answer would be something like “Oh my God … of course I made a special deal that sold out the American people, because I work for Alaska, which is unique, and not like the rest of those Americans who are, unfortunately, not going to be advantaged by this bill.”

Hard to ignore the smell of the thing as it gives its idiotic response.

It’s now time to call Congress members as this highly toxic shit sandwich heads back to the House and root for the dysfunction of the slim MAGA House majority and the political genius of one of Trump’s most loyal and delusional lackeys, MAGA Mike Johnson. I’ve got to write a letter to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, waiting to respond at a time and place of his choosing, tomorrow, remind me.

[1] Chuck Schumer officially got the name of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, an abomination and obscenity by any name, changed, to The Act. Small, symbolic victory, I suppose.

Echoes of a horrifying chapter of history

I recently watched an excellent documentary, Facing Tyranny, on PBS [1], about one of my heroes, Hannah Arendt. Arendt was a brilliant, fearless thinker and writer who was universally attacked for her frankness and irony in assessing Adolf Eichmann’s actual role in the industrialized mass murder of European Jewry (amidst the mass murder, and general slaughter, of tens of millions of others).

Eichmann in Jerusalem, Arendt’s account of the Eichmann trial, a masterpiece, was condemned and dismissed by critics from every part of the political spectrum. Arendt commented that she understood, in hindsight, that her ironic tone about Nazi horrors (and Jewish complicity in some cases) that the public was just confronting graphically for the first time, may have led to much of the criticism. The public, she now understood, had not been ready for her ironic tone in laying out such horrors. She took a drag on her cigarette, and said “if I had it to do over again, I’d have done it the same way.” My hero.

In a traumatized society obedient to the will of a madman, where führerwortes haben gesetzeskraft (the Leader’s word has the force of law) and every one of Hitler’s brain farts immediately became the law of Germany, an unquestioningly obedient, ambitious government worker like Eichmann was completely unremarkable.

Arendt noted that Eichmann’s inability to speak with any degree of coherence, outside of defending his duty to obey the laws foaming out of the Leader’s rabid mouth, reflected his inability to think. Remove critical thinking and every monster you can imagine springs to life. Society can then be dominated by the indecent, monstrous will of unreasoning, calculating, all-powerful psychopaths.

The evil done by these evil fucks is rendered banal by the lack of thought with which they commit unspeakable atrocities and their absence of awareness and conscience as they commit their, now legal, even praiseworthy, crimes. A guy like Eichmann, Arendt noted, was simply an efficient, hard-working, unthinking member of a bureaucratic lynch mob, not the demonic architect of mass murder the Israeli prosecutor made him out to be. People tried to rough Arendt up over that banality of evil idea. Good luck, I say, take a glance around Congress.

The Senate is currently debating a big, sadistic, hideously “beautiful” bill (beautiful only for our 801 billionaires, their cumulative $6,500,000,000,000 and their corporate alter egos) that will pay for the billionaires’ massive tax cuts by removing health care from millions of working, elderly and disabled Americans and starving poor children by the millions while closing rural hospitals and nursing homes, increasing taxes on the lowest earners by an audacious 73% as it drastically cuts taxes on the wealthiest, while giving fossil fuel climate deniers (currently already subsidized $700,000,000,000 annually) infinitely more profit by squashing cheaper, sustainable American renewable energy and allowing Koch and friends to drastically raise energy prices nationwide. Oh yeah, and since the BBB will “pay for itself” by cutting the social safety net half of Americans rely on, we also need to raise the debt ceiling by $5,000,000,000,000.

There is so much ugliness in the Big Beautiful Bill (example of Orwell’s Newspeak [2], like “Truth Social”) it’s impossible to know or itemize all of it. Why would a faithful follower of Jesus Christ want to see millions of American children and old people go to bed hungry, lose health care, die unnecessary deaths in the richest country in the world? How would Jesus feel about giving more to the already obscenely rich while the poor, and their children, are immiserated further? Christian MAGA supporters will not ever confront this clear moral question, which their MAGA pastors and ministers will proactively protect them from ever asking.

Remember, MAGA would not be in power without the organized support of millions of Evangelical Christians and radically reactionary Catholics (think Bill Barr, Leonard Leo, Sammy the Bull Alito, Clarence and Ginny Thomas). How did those two groups of Christians do in Germany during the rise of the New York Times’ Mr. Hitler?

I stumbled on a Chris Hedges video discussing the work of Eric Voegelin, who studied the Nazi era (after running for his life from the Nazis in 1938) and made certain chilling connections, which are summarized in this bit from a search for Voegelin’s Hitler and the Germans.

Responding to publications on National Socialist Germany, Eric Voegelin [in Hilter and the Germans] discusses the historian Percy Schramm’s “Anatomy of a Dictator,” along with studies of the churches and the legal profession. His inquiry uncovers a historiography that was substantially unhistoric: a German Evangelical Church that misinterpreted the Gospel, a German Catholic Church that denied universal humanity, and a legal process enmeshed in criminal homicide.

a German Evangelical Church that misinterpreted the Gospel, a German Catholic Church that denied universal humanity, and a legal process enmeshed in criminal homicide.

Here we have an American Evangelical Church whose leaders embrace a radically strange interpretation of the teachings of their Savior in flagrant conflict with those teachings, a radicalized American Catholic Church whose political leadership denies the humanity of girls and women who are rape victims (in the name of protecting the sacred fetus of the rapist), and a legal profession that… well, in Germany the doctors were the first professional group to voluntarily Nazify — being an “Aryan” and Nazi party membership were required to practice medicine in Hitler’s Germany — and, most certainly, the fucking lawyers were the second professional group to become loyal Hitlerites.

The horror, the horror. Makes me want to holler.

[1] Public Broadcasting, of course, is a deadly enemy to Trumpworld. How dare they make documentaries about radical left antisemitic Jews like Hannah Arendt? They harm innocent young white Christian children by recounting tired stories of so-called racism, slavery, and centuries of terrorism against Blacks. They don’t hate and reject gay people, as Jesus urged every Christian to do. They oppose book banning, book burning, they challenge propaganda itself sometimes! DEFUND PBS! (But watch the Arendt documentary first).

[2] In 1984, Orwell introduced the concept of Newspeak, a controlled language designed to eliminate any possibility of rebellious thoughts. By systematically reducing vocabulary, the ruling Party ensured that individuals could not even conceive of dissent, let alone articulate it. Words like “doubleplusgood” replaced more complex expressions, stripping language of nuance and ambiguity.

Newspeak operates on the principle that if certain words do not exist, the concepts they represent cannot be thought about. The language was deliberately constructed to remove any potential for subversive thought, thereby eliminating free will at the linguistic level. The ultimate goal? To make independent thinking impossible by restructuring language to serve only the Party’s ideological needs. By shrinking the range of thought through a diminishing vocabulary, Orwell emphasized how linguistic engineering could erode cognitive freedom. source

Election (fraud) Denial

Trump and the rightwing propaganda machine have done such a good, proactive, preemptive job of accusing Democrats of the crimes they themselves commit (weaponizing the DOJ, partisan hack activist judges, etc.) that it’s unthinkable for a Democrat to point out how fossil fuel billionaire Koch and Co. (with the help of Putin, Musk, Thiel, et al) almost certainly rigged the mathematically impossible 2024 election results.

These super-wealthy fascists were undoubtedly aided by harsh voter suppression laws in many states, (brought to you by a lying John Roberts/Federalist Society/Kochtopus 5-4 decision overruling a 98-0 Senate reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act).  Questioning the legitimacy of Trump’s highly improbable “mandate” (he won every swing state, a rare feat, even states otherwise swept by Democrats, with virtually identical margins, just out of automatic recount range, flipping 88 strategic counties blue to red while none flipped the other way) would make the Democrats look like whining, pouting, evidence-denying, democracy rejecting “election deniers” like Kari Lake, Trump and co.   

I find this short series very convincing, but then again, I can’t find an explanation for the 20,000,000 vote drop off in mail-in ballots (after mail-in voting increased in the 8 straight elections), except as the nefarious plan of a shameless, pugnacious Trump megadonor postmaster who retired, job done, shortly after the election.   

Let me know what you think, and share this with your group, see what they think.

Emil Bove III

Emil Bove, former Trump criminal lawyer [1], is on Trump’s short list to replace Samuel Alito, once Bove has been appointed to, and served briefly on, the federal appeals court. Bove was the acting head of the DOJ who dismissed the Eric Adams indictment and sought to keep the charges hanging over Adams’ head by dismissing the case “without prejudice” (meaning, he could prosecute at will in the future). Bove was doing this to advance Trump/Miller’s draconian deportation program by ensuring that NYC mayor Adams allowed ICE to operate freely in NYC, something Adams agreed to as part of a quid pro quo to escape prosecution for a variety of felonies.

Bove was outraged at the suggestion of a quid pro quo, as he told the judge. He also told the judge that even it was a quid pro quo, the judge still couldn’t stop DOJ from dismissing the case. Of course, after the quid pro quo was announced by Bove, U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon and six other federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Four deputy mayors in Adams’ administration also resigned.

Bove sent a lawyer to federal court in Maryland to stonewall the judge (one of the many currently sued on Trump’s behalf by rabid AG Pam Bondi’s DOJ) in the Abrego Garcia abduction/rendition to El Salvador prison for terrorists case. Erez Reuveni, experienced, recently promoted DOJ lawyer, who had argued Trump’s cases zealously in the Orange Polyp’s first term, was, as his duty to the Constitution required, candid with the court.

That attorney, former DOJ assistant director in the Justice Department’s Office of Immigration Litigation, Erez Reuveni, (I applauded the candor he was fired for at the time) is now a whistleblower, issuing a detailed warning about the corrupt orders he was given (lie to the court) by Bove, supremely loyal Nazi fuck and former Trump criminal lawyer that Trump is trying to ram on to the federal appeals court.

Bove stonewalled Congress the other day as he claimed not to recall telling Reuveni and a room full of DOJ lawyers to be ready to say “fuck you” to federal judges. “I don’t recall” said Bove, any time he was pressed, as every one of these carefully coached creeps does when a truthful answer would tank their nomination.

Reuveni’s whistleblower complaint begins:

Between March 14, 2025, and April 5, 2025, Mr. Reuveni, almost immediately after receiving notice of his promotion to serve as Acting Deputy Director of OIL, became aware of the plans of DOJ leadership to resist court orders that would impede potentially illegal efforts to deport noncitizens, and further became aware of the details to execute those plans. source

Here’s the money shot, the scene Bove claims not to recall:

Like so many other Trump Derangement Syndrome leftie commie fascist weirdos, anyone in MAGA world who does not line up to loyally do whatever they are asked, fired DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni was at one time, not long ago, a warrior for the mad president. Check this out.

It is a reasonable question to ask of Bove, if you have so little recall of what you said as acting head of the DOJ, since you can’t remember what every other lawyer in that suddenly silent room heard you say, should you be a fucking judge in the first place, you lying sack of sanctimonious shit?

And, since we live in a world of wrap around propaganda, here’s Rupert Murdoch, doing his part.  Language matters. Trump “reveals”…

[1] Wikipedia: In September 2023, he became a partner at Blanche Law, a law firm founded by Todd Blanche. Days later, Bove joined Donald Trump‘s criminal defense team.[12] In the state court criminal trial of Trump in New York, he was second chair to Blanche on Trump’s defense team.[18][19] Bove represented Trump in the federal classified documents and election obstruction cases.[20]

Government is not a fucking business

Try for a moment to forget that we are currently being bombarded by actual tax-payer funded advertisements made by sitting federal officials (Gabbard, Bondi, et al), shameless loyalists gushing over the great accomplishments of their Dear Leader. Robert Reich breaks down the simplistic, criminally cynical far-right claim that the government (whose purpose in a democracy is to promote the welfare of all citizens) must be run like a corporation (a judicially created “person”, a psychopath of eternal life with only one goal — monetary profit).

These Nazi fucks (right-wing billionaires and their “apolitical” corporate allies), if their claim is to be believed, and they are consistent, would consider it prudent for a democratic government to declare bankruptcy, like any other failing business, if democratic government faces the fate of the rest of Trump’s highly successful business ventures.

If I’m lying may my golden Trump sneakers get lost in the mail, like my ballot, my Trump bible, $Trump crypto, Trump NFTs and gold sprayed (in America) Trump phone, proudly made in the American minds of MAGA (all products are made in USA, even if “physically” made in China). USA! USA!!! We’re not a laughingstock anymore! We’re a great brand.

Timely message from a vampire

How did I start getting messages from the keepers of this creepy bastard’s eternal image as a great statesman?

I picture Roger Stone and the rest of these unrepentant Nazi bastards, recycling the meaningless platitudes of this lawless asshole who they all think got screwed by libtard cucks, if only they’d had FOX at that time, the Federalist Society, The Council for National Policy, all the so-called think tanks and all the rest of the accursed Kochtopus network. What a pack of  reactionary, revisionist psychos.

Anarchist Jurisdictions

A few thoughts about Trump’s obsession with violently occupying sanctuary cities, roughing up, handcuffing and sometimes even charging “Democrat” public officials (Black, Hispanic and Jew alike) and imposing his federal will, using the military, on all state and local governments, because they are godless communists who hate America and he is the democratically elected Unitary Executive who loves America and wants to save it from the savage, sick hordes of perverts in cities who make up the overwhelming majority of the American population (around 85%).

Recall that Trump’s pugnacious Attorney General, Bill Barr, declared places like New York, Chicago, LA “anarchist jurisdictions”. He and Trump threatened them, they would withhold tax dollars, paid by these jurisdictions, from coming back to them as Congress had appropriated. Using anarchist jurisdictions as his mantra, Barr sent out-of-uniform federal goon squads in unmarked vans to grab protesters off the street in Portland, overwhelmed with force and tear gassed peaceful protesters in DC to clear the way for an enraged Trump’s glaring photo op with a Bible. In one infamous, little reported incident, Barr even had a murder suspect executed by one of these squads.

In the case of the extrajudicial execution of a man suspected of killing a Trump supporter during a confrontation in Portland, Barr claimed the admitted antifa fighter had been shot to death after drawing his gun and trying to resist his peaceful arrest, as terrorists do. Eyewitnesses tell another story:

The Times article cited above details what actually happened in the “confrontation” that led to Reinoehl’s killing. Witnesses thought it was a mob hit, or a drug cartel execution. Reinoehl was walking toward his car, holding a cell phone and a bag of candy when the “confrontation” began. Two SUVs sped to the scene, cutting off Reinoehl’s car, four armed men leapt out and immediately opened fire. Nobody heard anyone identify themselves as police or yell anything else at the suspect. An unfired handgun was found in a pocket of Reinhoehl’s bullet riddled corpse, [proof that his killing by government agents was totally justified, as police investigators later found.]

Of course, who are you going to believe, the Lying New York Times, and twenty-two so-called “witnesses” who were interviewed by the paper, or men of unimpeachable integrity like Bill Barr and a president who, try as they might, simply cannot tell a lie?

source (me — citing to NY Times article)

There is always a bullshit “justice” story behind any political intimidation, oppression or corruption. The fake outrage story is particularly necessary to justify murder by governments.

The talking point that International Jewry planned and provoked the First World War, and the soon to be second, was a Nazi article of faith. It was propaganda gold, since many suspected it might be the case all along and even if the definitive book about it turned out to be fake, the truth it stated was still true. Repeat it enough times and it gains the ring of truth. “Why wouldn’t they do it?” became an obvious question.

Clearly, as exhaustively proved by the widely translated, perennially best-selling 1905 Czarist forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion [1], the leaders of a centuries old global Jewish conspiracy against Christianity met periodically, at midnight, in the Jewish cemetery in Prague, to advance their eternal plot to dominate and destroy good Christians. It was equally obvious, to the Nazi, that Bolshevism was part of this global Jewish vision of world domination by a genetically inferior, but intellectually cunning, eternal enemy of The People.

The politics of uniting a base by hatred requires giving a threatening, hateful name to an intended common enemy, a name that evokes fear. Anarchists came over from Europe in the early 20th centuries and were quickly portrayed as bomb throwing, anti-law terrorists bent on destroying America. A few were famously tried, amid great public fanfare, and executed for crimes they almost certainly hadn’t committed (Sacco and Vanzetti, to name two famous ones).

Everything old is new again. Who are the deranged and dangerous people resisting MAGA, the attempt of righteous people of faith to bring Christ, guns and paternalism back to the center of American culture and law? Anarchist, globalist, socialist, Marxist, fascists conspiring to use violent, criminal brown illegals to dominate rigged elections and bring about “majoritarian tyranny”, depriving the silent majority of their rights under cover of fake “democracy”.

Living in the intended Age of Fascist Irrationality, where insistence on lies by powerful psychopaths may NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY FACTS, this kind of incoherent horseshit is the food on which fascism feeds. If cause and effect are reversed, crucial details left out (the unfired gun remained in suspect’s pocket as he was shot repeatedly for threatening officers with a gun) if a lie is just as good as the truth, if told for the right reason, if what you see with your own eyes is a lie and what we tell you, even if contradicted by your own direct experience, is true, you’d better goddamned believe it. Or, insist on being right, and we’ll kill you. Your choice.

Shot While Escaping, by George Grosz (circa 1936):

Sources employed

Source material for the forgery consisted jointly of Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu (Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu), an 1864 political satire by Maurice Joly;[9] and a chapter from Biarritz, an 1868 novel by the antisemitic German novelist Hermann Goedsche, which had been translated into Russian in 1872.[1]: 97 

Literary forgery

The Protocols is one of the best-known and most-discussed examples of literary forgery, with analysis and proof of its fraudulent origin dating as far back as 1921.[10] The forgery is an early example of conspiracy theory literature.[11] Written mainly in the first person plural,[d] the text includes generalizations, truisms, and platitudes on how to take over the world: take control of the media and the financial institutions, change the traditional social order, etc. It does not contain specifics.[13]

. . . On October 27 and 28, 1919, the Philadelphia Public Ledger published excerpts of an English language translation as the “Red Bible,” deleting all references to the purported Jewish authorship and re-casting the document as a Bolshevik manifesto.[55] The author of the articles was the paper’s correspondent at the time, Carl W. Ackerman, who later became the head of the journalism department at Columbia University.[56][54]

Narcissistic rage as government policy equals fascism

Everything you learn about the personality type that must see themselves as perfect, can never be wrong, perceives all criticism as enraging defiance, an attack that must be met with crushing force, is seen in the leaders of fascist regimes and the culture of those regimes. It’s uncanny how the politics of fascism mirrors the personality disorder of those who can never be wrong and are always 100% right to rage.

The malignant narcissist, or the psychopath, (neither defined in the American Psychiatric Association’s vast catalogue of mental and emotional disorders, the DSM) always stands on their right to express full-on rage, angrily posing as the persecuted victim as they act to extract maximum punishment of those who defy their will. This is psychopathy 101. Never wrong, no consideration for anyone but themselves, no capacity for remorse.

Listen to this illuminating short clip from psychiatrist Russell Razzaque:

We can understand that people who behave abusively, sadistically, are deeply damaged by their past shame and humiliation. They are compelled to seek power, to rigidly control other people in order to feel safe. The childish dream of every one of these broken creatures is to project super strength and enjoy unlimited praise and admiration. You can feel sorry for them, on one level, though they quickly lose the right to that sympathy when they begin aggressively offloading their heavy shame onto the world around them, demand obedience to their whims and start building concentration camps for their enemies.

You lose all sympathy the first time you are vicious to someone who has no power to stop you from being vicious toward them. Note the way this administration is using the continual public spectacle of mistreating the most vulnerable among us, including law-abiding asylum seekers detained for deportation after coming to court and having their cases “dismissed”. Notice the violent attempt to cow the public by manhandling, handcuffing and detaining of peaceful protesters, elected “Democrat” officials, a union leader, often without an arrest or any charges being brought.

Despicable, insane, evil, even if also mentally ill. Jesus Christ is weeping at this Nazi shit being done in his name by followers who would drag him by a chain behind a truck until he was dead. Well, at least Hitler is having a mirthless, Hiterlian laugh, in the smoking section of the hot place.
