Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

I was considering 2 decent sized expenditures this year. I felt pretty good about where the economy was heading on the Biden administrations way out. Was looking into taking my family on a cruise (around $4000 total) and also looking at buying a new camping trailer ($10,000-$15,000)
But my faith in the economy at this point is pretty low. So no cruise and I will just continue to use our crappy old dented no water pump pop up trailer for camping trips instead. Save my money just in case the economy tanks worse than the Utah Jazz.

At a town-hall meeting in a Republican-friendly, Atlanta-area congressional district, boos rained down on GOP Rep. Rich McCormick as he tried to defend President Trump’s efforts to slash the federal government.

In one tense exchange before the hundreds of people there, a woman challenged McCormick over how he would “rein in the megalomaniac in the White House,” according to a video of the Thursday event posted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Eventually, McCormick—whose district backed him by a nearly two-to-one margin last year—acknowledged the audience’s concerns.

“I don’t want to see any president be too powerful,” McCormick said. His office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The contentious scene was one of a series of clashes in GOP congressional districts across the country in recent days that offered an early warning for the White House. While Trump is broadly giving voters what he promised during his campaign, the scope and unilateral nature of his early executive actions, as well as his upending of longstanding foreign alliances, is throwing some Republican lawmakers on the defensive.
 

ROSWELL, Georgia — The crowd packed into City Hall and filled an overflow room with one question, above all, for their Republican congressman: What did he think of Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn mission to shrink the federal government?

Their Atlanta suburb in a solid-red district was hardly a hub of the liberal resistance, but hundreds had shown up to confront Rep. Richard McCormick in person. Now each argument from the lawmaker brought a new round of shouts, groans and boos.


“If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going be an effective town hall,” McCormick said, five minutes into defending Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.

“But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted.

Town halls this week for congressional Republicans from Georgia to Wisconsin to Oregon grew testy as voters showed up to vent, outraged at the firing of workers and the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive data. Protesters showed up around the country at lawmakers’ offices.

The backlash extends far beyond federal workers in the Beltway, reaching purple districts that will decide control of Congress in 2026 and swing states like Georgia that helped return Trump to the White House. Layoffs just hit the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Funding freezes have halted clean-energy projects championed by President Joe Biden.
 

Officials at a school district in Utah say they were stunned to find themselves at the center of a Fox News report accusing the district of fraudulently spending $86,000 in COVID-19 relief money on hotel rooms for an educational conference at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace.

Now, the Granite School District is firing back in a scathing statement defending its use of the money and condemning the network’s journalistic practices. The district also went after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, which first put the district on blast in a social media post earlier this week.

The district countered on Friday with a detailed accounting of what the money was spent on, and how it benefited the district, while refuting “any impropriety for having our educators participate in this conference.”

“The Fox News national story contains many factual errors and no one from their organization has ever contacted us to verify the facts of the report,” the district said in a statement Friday.

“The funding in question was used to pay for hotel rooms for 123 educators from our district to attend a three-day professional educational convention hosted by Solution Tree in Las Vegas in 2022,” the district said. It added that a “comprehensive needs assessment was submitted and accepted by Utah State Board of Education” approving what it described as “a successful and beneficial conference for our educators.”

The district also made clear in the statement there has never been an investigation into the use of the funds.

“Granite School District has NOT been contacted or questioned by any state or federal regulatory agency about the use of these funds,” the statement concluded. “We first heard of this concern on social media. As such, we were surprised to be accused of fraud without having some contact from anyone to verify the legitimacy of the expense.”

Damn super rich elite school teachers just getting richer at the expense of the taxpayer!!!

People are once again stating to "feel the burn"

‘Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC beltway. That is not going to happen. It will be defeated by millions of Americans in Nebraska, in Iowa, in Vermont,’ Sanders said.

He said they need to come together at the grassroots level ‘in a movement which says no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no to massive cuts in programs that the working class desperately needs.’

Sanders spoke before a packed room in downtown Omaha with more fans waiting in the overflow outside.

His base is fired up about the whirlwind first month of President Trump’s second term and activities of Musk, as the world’s wealthiest man and his DOGE team slash the U.S. government.

Sanders supporters were outraged by what is happening in Washington and had no problems voicing their frustrations. They screamed their support at times and even teared up at other moments as they nodded along to his remarks.

While Trump was a target of much of the wrath receiving boos and one person even yelling ‘fascist,’ there were also were shouts of ‘fire Elon,’ ‘Tesla sucks’ and ‘Elon’s a Nazi.’

The senator will hold a second event in Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday as he hits the road to discuss how Americans can fight back against Trump and Musk.

He vowed to take his message to every corner of the country.

‘We are rapidly moving toward an oligarchy form of society in which a handful of multi-billionaires not only have extraordinary, extraordinary wealth but unprecedented economic, media and political power,’ Sanders said as the crowd booed.
The senator spoke of Trump’s inauguration and how the three wealthiest people in the country, Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, were sitting right behind the president as he was sworn in. He also noted Trump’s billionaire Cabinet nominees in the third row.

‘We can defeat them. I know how much money they have. I know their ownership of the people. I know they can buy and sell politicians. I know all of that,’ Sanders said.

‘But this I also know, that when we stand together and not let them divide us up… we can defeat them, and we must defeat them,’ he declared.

At one point, Sanders quoted President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. As he quoted about a government for the people, by the people, his supporters also chimed in to recite the famous lines.

The Vermont senator blasted Trump’s recent social media post where he wrote he who saves his country does not violate any law.


Sanders argued that the president believes ‘he can do anything he wants to do. The law does not apply to him.’

‘That is how he has been behaving, in violation of the Constitution and federal laws,’ he said as his supporters groaned.

He also slammed the president for attacking the First Amendment for his criticism of the media and blasted Trump’s recently calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a ‘dictator.’

‘Everybody in the world knows that Putin started the war except Donald Trump,’ Sanders said.

Are these things you’re willing to die for?

Because your presidents actions are provoking people to violence. Violence we will all feel on a large scale. 2020 was just practice compared to what your president is brewing. You’ve seen what happens when we protest, people start burning and looting. Who do you think they’re are going to come for? Do you have a wall around your house? No, they’re coming for all of us.

If he’s counting on martial law, he’s counting on the military to break their oath. I’m not.

I’m gonna vote for drawn and quartered.

It isn't a mystery. America hates 2025 Democrats. America hates what 2025 Democrats stand for. The 2025 Democrat party has become the party of Karens, and it turns out that Karens aren't popular. Every time the Democrats do exactly what you are wishing they'd do, their approval drops even further.

When the resistance starts growing and ideas flying make sure to give any tips for us foreigners to help you out in any imaginable way. It's a global cause now and I'm ready to invest some time to help you/us out.

We need you. Most of this country is good people just trying to do the right thing. We’ve been duped by our demons, again, and we’ll need our friends to help us. Start by boycotting American goods. Demand your leaders fight back against Trump economically. Isolate us and protest.

It’s all of our jobs to fight fascism, because eventually they come for us if we don’t stop them.

French far-right leader cancels speech after accusing Bannon of 'Nazi gesture'

Former top Trump adviser Steve Bannon denies making Nazi salute at CPAC and says Jordan Bardella is "unworthy to lead France".

In another case, Bannon was spared prison time after pleading guilty earlier this month to defrauding donors over a fundraiser to build a US-Mexico border wall.
Then there was the donors also being defrauded with the stop the steal fund.

Grifters still griftin to this day and the rubes stay in line. Trump can do whatever he wants and the sheep will keep following the shepherd.
 
Yep, definitely not making any big purchases for a while.
