Years ago, when Trump started his grifting Presidency, I said that it felt like American fascism was being encouraged by him. Now, it is clear that American fascism is on the march, in each and every MAGA stronghold, and I fear that includes the Supreme Court as well.

And who does the chaos help, and who does it hurt? This is just a repeat of the insane Nixon Presidency, when students were murdered by National Guard troops at Kent State, and the far right ginned up as much hate for fellow Americans as it could.

I am old and yet have never seen such a disconnect between the people and their needs and the conduct of the Republican political class bending a knee to the oligarchs.

We are led by greedy grifting thugs...at least that is how I see today's Republican Party under Trump. They are intent on taking from the poor, including health care and enriching the rich...so those aforenamed rich can send them millions of dollars of support through Pacs.

What good is MAD, mutually assured destruction, without being able to drop a few nuclear bombs on one's enemy? Goodby Moscow, it was nice to know you and your pretend democracy....is that what the future holds for our "civilization"?

Truly, it feels like Trump and Musk and the others at the top of the economic pyramid have a unified vision for America in the coming decades, and it involves people like them living as inherited wealth royalty, as they control the markets, and the political world, and the poor...not sure where we fit in the coming Ai debacle and software and robots work for peanuts and for the profits of our betters
A child of a poor man deserves exactly the same good education and medical care as a child of the unbearably rich...and if that isn't possible then he rich do not deserve to rule.

And even if peace prevailed, thanks to the idiots who let Trump get away with his "human caused global warming is a hoax" we on this planet are just plain screwed not matter what happens militarily.

Filed in Federal Court means, ultimately it gets reviewed and decided by the corrupt Trump Supreme Court?

Murder is murder, and the angle of the shooting from the phone of Stella Carlson showed clearly that two agents waiting until he had been disarmed before they executed him.
And don't forget this has an audience of two...Trump and his patron Putin. Putin wants chaos in America, wants us divided one from another and from our allies, so when Trump is being boxed in and the media is full of conflict...it serves Putin's hateful agenda totally.

Why yes, we are in great risk of losing our democracy to white power fascists, as big a danger as we faced when Nixon and Kissinger ran the country into the ground and four students were murdered by National Guard stormtroopers in 1970.
And no, National Guard people can be wonderful servants of the people but under the control of deadly bullies, innocent people die.

First rule of being a Trump servant...kissing his ass is mandatory, no matter the time, no matter the subject, no matter the idiocy. First rule of being a competent servant of the people in service to the Constitution, being an independent agent is essential, not being an all kisser essential.
So we see the problem here, she is unqualified for her job to serve us, she is only qualified to kiss his ass.

Murderous ethnic cleansing by any other name...

Why yes, our Executive Branch is run by a Putin ally, who is also a dyed in the wool fascist...and that comes from both his former Secretary of Defense and his former Secretary of State...oops, sorry, his former Secretary of State called him a moron, his former Chief of Staff was the one who called Trump a fascist.

How insane does our leadership on the national level have to be to get us out of an organization devoted to the survival of fellow human beings?

One remembers the CIA actions in regards to LSD and other drugs, torturing American 'subjects' in order to find the best way to torture people. One wonders who is being tortured these days.

Perfectly understandable, if one understands that Trump is Putin's "boy", with one assignment, to weaken America. He has divided us one from another, and he has done a magnificent job, from Putin's perspective of ruining our friendships and alliances world wide.
And this is on MAGA, to have voted for a clear fascist to run our democracy means that person is some version of fascist, racist, misogynist pro oligarchs anti democracy idiot.

ICE, in reality , are highly paid brownshirt thugs, paid to kill and cause as much mayhem as possible in Blue States and Cities, so that Trump can somehow get elections in some key Blue States stopped, perhaps using the insurrection act.
And when I write "Trump" I am, of course writing "the Miller/Bannon/Trump" gang, American fascism on the march.

I suspect this all was supposed to be hidden away and done in the darkness..so no one would know how utterly corrupt the legal system is these days. Florida, the state that daily is losing coastline to human caused global warming but whose leaders keep on insisting that global warming is a hoax.

Weirdly, if a Texas resident, I could see me, an atheist, seriously considering voting for Talarico, as I think he would be a wonderful representative of "we, the people". I wish him well, and I hope for a great primary season leading up to the midterms.

Fascism and Trumpism are one and the same in our America, and to be a Republican Party member is to be a fascist...yes, moron. I remember Trump;s first Secretary of State saying that on further reflection..,.,Trump is a moron.

A man who would order the execution of criminal suspects, in Trump's case drug suspects in boats, would order the execution, or disabling, of opponents by any means necessary, even on American soil targeting Americans. Putting a clear fascist in charge of our constitutional democracy, twice, defines MAGA as dangerous to the world and to our republic itself.

I thought Nixon was as bad as the Republican Party could get...but he was a child compared to Trump's fascist impulses and actions. Trump won't be satisfied until his patron Putin is satisfied and that would mean America divided and in full Civil War.

Americans deserve and want a strong border...but brownshirts violently intimidating people in Blue areas of Blue states is an attack on the sovereignty of such states and their right to vote as they see fit.

I probably should worry more, but after all this time, I seem to be accustomed to the news being dominated by a cruel and incompetent man "running" things from the White House, much as Reagan "ran" things in his second term. Sure hope there is no major conflict, like war with China, since we are led by Hegseth and Trump...not our greatest military minds.
As a child of the sixties, I understand that America is in a constant conflict with its oligarch masters who want to strut out from the shadows and run things...as Musk did when Trump took over.
