Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

I will admit, they are picking their targets for this with a lot more thought than they were with the actual deportations. They are lulling us into a false sense of security that there is some kind of process for this, where this is really just the opening salvoes against judges that dare to defy Trump. She did this the wrong way, that is the problem here, and it leaves an opening to claim judicial misconduct. It very likely will not hold up in court, but it is the opening they need to start this ball rolling, and once it gets some real momentum we will hardly notice the justices that get taken away just because they rule, lawfully and legally, against the Trump agenda. This is carefully planned out and being executed nearly flawlessly for the Project 2025 team. We need a lot more people to get up in arms about this stuff, to head off the inevitable litany of "well they deserved it" posts on facebook.
This is what the “working class slob” wanted cuz egg prices and woke and Harris’s grocery plan or something something. They will definitely benefit financially from this, just like the working class slob has benefitted from dodge and tariffs and soon tax cuts for billionaires (and social security cuts for everyone else).
 
There was also an arrest of this New Mexico judge, who in addition to harboring illegal alien TdA gang members, was also caught destroying incriminating evidence in the case.

So much winning. And the tide is turning. It’s going to be a battle royal, but I believe, in the long run, Trumpism will be rejected. I believe we will reassert who we are as a people. We are not cruelty incarnate.



And of course:


So obviously childish. So much a baby.
 
This is a fun listen. This is why, in the long run, if we have to put 3/4 of the American people in the streets, if we need another million man walk on Washington, this monster is going to fail. When all is said and done, we will do ourselves proud again. The greater majority of the American electorate understand clearly that Trump is not us. Every night, I have watched Maddow, she’ll be back on Mondays only this week, but I took to watching her, to look at all the clever homemade signs people are making.

And it is inspiring, to me, to know every last one of those hundreds of thousands of demonstrators sat down and thought: “what do I want my sign to say? What do I want my message to authority to be?”

Our MAGA suppoters call them whiners. Have they checked the polls lately? Whiners? No, the demonstrations are led by American citizens who understand American civics! Who understand Trump is over reaching. Trying to grab far too much power. And we understand that by a HUGE margin! We got MAGA guys here who cry about Democratic war mongers and all the deaths in wartime. Democrats love wars they tell is. Same people are fine with starving children to death in third world nations. That style of death is something the hypocrites apparently approve of! And you know who you are…

That sounds exactly like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy where there are photos showing hundreds of thousands making signs protesting the governments. Who can forget the Italian and German media being so broadly critical of Adolf's and Benito's rule? It is like history is repeating, except everything is completely different and those claiming fascism have no idea what they are talking about.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, says it has saved $160 billion through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But that effort may also have come at a cost for taxpayers, with a new analysis from a nonpartisan research and advocacy group estimating that DOGE's actions will cost $135 billion this fiscal year.

The analysis seeks to tally the costs associated with putting tens of thousands of federal employees on paid leave, re-hiring mistakenly fired workers and lost productivity, according to the Partnership for Public Service (PSP), a nonpartisan nonprofit that focuses on the federal workforce.

PSP's estimate is based on the $270 billion in annual compensation costs for the federal workforce, calculating the impact of DOGE's actions, from paid leave to productivity hits. The $135 billion cost to taxpayers doesn't include the expense of defending multiple lawsuits challenging DOGE's actions, nor the impact of estimated lost tax collections due to staff cuts at the IRS.



So if you count the lawsuits and the lost tax collection revenue then DOGE was pretty much a waste.

As Trump's trade war locks the world’s two largest economies on a collision course, America's unnerved allies and partners are cozying up with China to hedge their bets. It comes as Trump's trade push upends a decade of American foreign policy — including his own from his first term — toward rallying the rest of the world to join the United States against China. And it threatens to hand Beijing more leverage in any eventual dialogue with the U.S. administration.

With Trump saying that countries are “kissing my ***” to negotiate trade deals on his terms or risk stiff import taxes, Beijing is reaching out to countries far and near. It portrays itself as a stabilizing force and a predictable trading partner, both to cushion the impact from Trump's tariffs and to forge stronger trade ties outside of the U.S. market.

U.S. companies are warning of higher prices, meaning Trump could face both higher inflation and empty store shelves. The magnitude of the taxes are already dramatically affecting American imports, with the shipping containers set to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles down nearly 36% over the past two weeks, according to Port Optimizer, which tracks vessels.

Then there's Japan: Despite its long-standing enmity towards the nation that once colonized parts of it, the Chinese government has reached out to Tokyo and urged a coordinated response, according to Kyodo News.

China is digging in

China is ready to use the stick, too. A South Korean newspaper has reported that China is demanding South Korean businesses not to ship goods containing China's rare earth minerals to U.S. defense companies or face likely sanctions.

Hal Brands, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, said China will “try to exploit Trump's abrasive behavior to make inroads with U.S. allies and countries in the Global South.”

Some scholars say Beijing is already gaining. “People lost the confidence, or even trust, for the United States, particularly for Donald Trump in the U.S. Not for China,” said Li Cheng, professor of political science at the University of Hong Kong. “So in that regard, China gains in the geopolitical landscape.”

We all knew this was never about savings but about consolidating power into the executive office. And for that it's working very well so far.

Nah. It looks to me like the American people are waking up. You, but of course, want them to remain sound asleep. What on Earth is wrong with you? I cannot honestly predict what will come. But, I can be hopeful for my nation. Why would you want to take that hope away from me? What….on Earth….is wrong with you?!

Red, what he says is completely stupid. Be honest. Have you ever attended a school system in a foreign country? I have. The influences that supposed expert denotes as being the domain of fascism are in the majority of government-funded school systems on the planet.

I find it hilarious that you claim the American people are waking up and posting a reenacted quote from Thomas Jefferson showing we are the same non-fascist place we've been from the very beginning, then scampering right back to the lunacy of insisting we are fascism. We aren't fascism. Your expert is dumb and needs to go get a job at Starbucks instead of poisoning the minds of our youth with his retarded nonsense.

It looks like Trump is the main reason that the liberal party of Canada won. It also seems likely Australia will follow. Trump is pushing the world liberal and based on polls and the few elections since he got into office he is also pushing the USA liberal. That is likely his legacy as an extremely ****** president who pushed the world liberal. He is likely going to be the most damaging president to the republicans by the end. A minority of them that fully support him caused the entire party to loose any credibility for a generation or more.
