'Designed to Destroy the United States from Within'

Friday, January 31, 2025

Chauncey Devega: In a bold new essay, Thom Hartmann defines the goal of Trump and the MAGA movement's revolutionary project: "Trump is hell-bent-for-leather to turn America into a tin pot dictatorship as fast as he can, establishing the same sort of single-party state his mentors, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbn, run in Russia and Hungary."

He's well on his way to accomplishing it.

I told you so.

Of course, the Oligarchs that are backing him think they can control and or replace him if he gets too erratic ("if" lmao!). Ask the Russian Oligarchs how that's werkin' out for them.

We'll see if Musk and Theil and Leonard and all his other billionaire masters suddenly at some point develop window acrophobia.

Violent monkeys see destruction as a solution equal to destruction. They don't know it is harder to build.

Never forget those who have and continue to enable Trump.

Donald isn't doing more than Biden did about it up to this point.

He brags about it more to impress dullards such as yourself.

One new wrinkle is Donald is already detaining American citizens.

For speaking Spanish.

Do you speak Spanish? Probably not. But if you do. don't do it public.

I don't really have to explain your crap to you, do I?

Yes. You do.

But, unfortunately, it won't do you or the neurologically challenged any good.

Trumpy is right (argh!).

Looks like America will have to "feel the pain" before it comes to its senses again.

A lot of pain.
And I'd hope it wouldn't be necessary, but enough people voted for this idiot to make him "president", so it looks like pain is what's it's going to take. I'm ready for a hell of a lot of pain, personally. I want these shhtheaps to suffer violently, even if I have to suffer along with them to get control back and put our country on a good, moral, fair, equitable path again. No telling how long it's going to take. I hope and plan to live long enough to see it.

It's only pain. Pain is a teacher.

Pain does remind you that you are alive.

Tho with just a tiny bit more effort even I can think of much better ways to feel the joy of being alive.

Too bad that now we have a President that is so willing and eager to go to the Dark Side.

Obligatory.
