Mike Johnson is a sold out soul just like Lindsey Graham was...for his personal power he is allowing Trump free range to screw over Americans who have differing opinions. That is fascism by any standard. There is no such thing as a good Republican in this time of Trump in our face dear leader fascism.

Blame Trump and his gang all you want, but as for me, this is on MAGA, they knew he was clearly a fascist, and they made sure he was elected a second time to destroy our democracy.

Darkly, perversely, I shrug when I read that someone, somewhere will hold Trump or Netanyahu for that matter, to the rule of law. He murdered over 80 Iranians who were meeting at his request...We are an outlaw country with nukes...and so is Israel and no one will hold Trump to accounts.

Fascism meet the rule of law...though thanks to MAGA I am wildly cynical about what is going to happen to our democracy. Trump is still going to try and subvert the midterms one way or another.

Innocent people don't act that way. Guilty people corrupt the entire system if it is their power.

So, those lying eyes of mine cannot be trusted I guess, I could swear that I watched a violent insurrection take place to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Seeing things through MAGA glasses makes all corruption fine and dandy.

When the law is for sale, it becomes illegal to be poor. Oligarch justice system at its finest at being the worst.

It seems that I am not the only person who saw this news and laughed...it is so Trumpian, to go for the grift, pay off the grifters, get stiffed, and then, really, have no place to go to complain because grifting, I am told, is against the law. To pay for a pardon from a conviction...has to be somehow illegal. That would make the law, gasp, to have two sides, one for the rich and one for the poor.

Trump is murderer in chief, he ordered the murders of over 80 Iranian leaders, who were meeting at his insistence. Not my President, not my war, though, all I have to fight with is my tiny vote, against the fact that American fascism is on the march.

Interesting how it resembles the Musk culling, when he bought Twitter, and other companies...almost as if the boss is more into being a bully than cultivating a successful company culture.
And if the Ellison gang get to actually take over CNN, now that should be one ugly culling. Deliberately kill the company to stop the fascists from having independent media paying attention to them.

Iran is Bibi Netanyahu's war, Trump just went along because he...crazy.
Now, to win the war, one would have to put more boots on the ground, there, than we had in Vietnam, boots worn by the poor of American mother's and father's, certainly not of the oligarch caste.
To walk away from the war, something Israel cannot let us do...hmmm....

Well, one has to admit that these are times of great clarity, enemies of the earth and of its lifeforms are not hiding from that fact. Trump and his goons are about power for themselves, and even though it may mean the destruction of our healthy land and water and the ending of entire species...in their greed they are enemies of it all, us all.

Surest sign that fascism is on the march...obedience is mandated, and differing opinions are seen as proof of disloyalty.

Say what you will about Trump, hate needs good friends, and he is truly a great friend of the darkest and most dangerous evil...fascism.

Well,, those huge tax breaks for the oligarch caste have to come from somewhere, so they take away from the very poor to give to the impossibly rich.
Such is life in a pretend democracy where one person one vote becomes one dollar, one vote....

Thanks MAGA, it was because of you that this fascist camel got his nose into the tent, and now there is a distinct possibility that our democracy will fall, as Russia's new democracy fell to the rule of the oligarchs and Putin.

Quite honestly, I am glad I am an old man and will not likely be still alive to see the horror of what Trump's denial of human caused global warming will cause, and because there is no stopping AI now, and as it happens, I define modern fascism as the permanent domination by the few billionaire oligarchs over the rest of humanity. Russia is such a fascist state, and one expects our democracy to be a pretend one person, one vote in only a few years. Musk bought the presidency for Trump.

Bottom line, murder is murder, Trump and Netanyahu told the Iranians to meet to build a new agreement, then killed over 80 of them when they met, in a war crime of an attack.

Years ago I compared Trump's electoral antics to what one might expect in an eighth grade election, but these days, Trump is not even trying to hide the fact that he wants to rig the elections the way he tried to rig the World Cup match. It will be in your face corruption day in and day out until he resigns, or 2029.

When the Soviet Union fell, the first signs that it was in such danger was that it couldn't find the money to pay the electric bills for all the military bases. One wonders if Trump and his gang are weakening the American military to that point. Time will tell.

The corruption has been in our face for a lot of years, so it feels odd to see people quite reasonably protest when the game gets rigged. Should be fascinating, since there are large parts of the world that Trump gangsters don't control...yet.

Oh, the big boys still in on AI will find a way to be protected...the fix is always in when it comes to them.

So, so many laws and rules need to be changed, having experienced the Trump debacle for all these years, we now see that there needs to be an age limit on some jobs. We need a constitutional convention with four or five items to be argued over. The second amendment is one.
And yes, one doesn't think rational thinking as to that amendment will come to pass in our lifetime, but one can hope, or one can exercise one's delusional vision for a future free of mass shootings.

Putin is a mass murderer, in exactly the same vein as the mass murderer who was executed for his crimes, Ted Bundy. Putin has murdered many of his neighbors and should be seen as a deranged criminal.
