Mobster to Monster - America's Hitler has arrived.
Borrowed maneuvers, stolen words, real harm. We can fix.
The world is alive once more with the words of Hitler, the missiles of war and religious fervor separates the faithful from the pragmatists leaving all hopefuls for peace in the world empty handed again.
For seven long years, longer or shorter a time depending on how one counts. When did Trump first become visible as the man he would become. When do you mark the starting gun sound to the tragic loss of our norms slipping away. The birther arrow to strike Obama? The NY Times ad to slander black youths? Yeah, the Times and others took the money. The “guardrails” and “norms” spoken of by the blasted media as they wonder about the pretties, fun cos players of the GOP, they helped shear them away for a faster ride.
Norms and guardrails are barely holding. We are in the last year of the second term, the shadow term of Trump. Oh, if you haven’t been watching, you might not know he’s still president for his base.
He’s held destructive power over policy and politics as Joe Biden runs the government cleanup from 45’s shredding our economy, global credibility and the rest of the long list of crimes against the American people and hate crimes against all her people, except MAGA.
And yet. As we stand facing government shutdown created by MAGA with a gavel held by an unknown. A newbie to the press and gee whiz looked here Harriet, he doesn’t have any internet his-tory in this here 20-23. He must be soooo pure.
It’s the party. It’s the party. It’s the party. It’s the party. It’s the party. It’s the party.
Legacy is happy to say the outrageous to a point. Okay to point to the Christian smokescreen of sharing a porn report generated by computer history spyware Mike Johnson shares with his son. That’s creepy. And info like this keeps one’s eyes moving from the scene. I mean, ick… why linger for more? The more is more craven and creepy than expected. Same with Trump right? ug. Can’t stand the sight of him and I’m here to say stop it. Listen even if you do it with Hal Sparks as the guy you may remember from days of Talk Soup. Don’t listen to Fox to hear his manicured clips. Everyone has YouTube available. Listen. Make yourself see. I’m not giving a clip. Work for it. It’s your democracy. The worst of the worst is in front of you. Listen to it. Be disgusted for real. No one is taking out the garbage for you. There’s no fun ghostbuster with a MAGA silencer that tosses squiggly foam. There is no deep web or Q. It’s Trump. He’s talking Nazi Hitler stuff. So, Johnson however…
Who is Johnson? Hard to uncover? Perhaps. Zev Shalev has done what Legacy can’t or won’t or it’s not their job (?). We are fortunate to have him and others pushing through as some important accounts are frozen by the “man” (Elon) on X and their work held hostage by X.
Zev was one of those for a time and still, he keeps reporting. He tells us that Johnson is “aligned with Russian interests.” He explains how Johnsons relationship with the Texas based company, “American Ethane” may be a very bad sign of his character and allegiances for a Congressman who is now Speaker. Americans Ethane is a subsidiary of the Kremlin.
The Legacy media show bias in every predictable and unpredictable way with little room for fact sifting. Legacy has a 21st century stance of pulling us to extremes. It literally doesn’t matter which way to the left or right. The effect of division is the same. If you don’t get that point, please re read till you do.
Extreme left or extreme right is good for authoritarian leaning. Centrist is bad for business as it’s bad for making peace. Oh and a centrist view is good for democracy. Here’s my example of an article pushing for division. The CNN headline is: Israel shows alleged Hamas ‘armory’ under children’s hospital in Gaza. Local health officials dismiss the claims. The headline is a story of disbelief in the “things” they report. It reports weapons are held in secret by terrorists in an active war zone. Pause to grasp this. And, that citizens at gunpoint won’t give up their captors. Both quite inflammatory. One is truer than the other. Each tells a story with little fact and yet, a clear bias. But which is which? Hard left, hard right produce the effect of division. More division in a country when country, politics, religion define everything except the future and also ignores most of what the country desires. An end to the war on women and children in this country. We need and want to restores women’s right to medical care and we need and want to limit weapons of war from our streets.
Frustrations abound on Xitter and social generally as anti Trump pundits.. to be clear, there are keyboard warriors that actually matter and are finally feeling as I am, relieved that the understanding, the information is leaving the protected airwaves of “that sewer of Xitter” and denting perhaps Fox MAGAsphere disinformation bubble which is oddly as flat as is their opinion of earth.
The trials may be making the difference. Other similar pushes, the voice of Judge Luttig and Professor Tribe are also creating waves in the loftier regions of the layers of historians and legal world minds worrying through the clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution which tells everyone, Donald, as well as those not old enough, you, are simply not eligible to run for office again or ever again. Did I say ever, never again?
Trump is becoming as incoherent as he is evil. Giving his mob the talk they miss from dead Rush Limbaugh and literally copying Hitler talk. Too tired or uncreative, the mobster prefers tried and true. Cut and paste media genius is a front man. Knock him down and we have, as predicted, a line of smoother, smarter, better groomed fascists lining up behind. Disregard the man in the white hip length go-go boots. We will see if they have the Donald magic.
Gotta disagree here on Legacy medias proclamation of Donnie’s genius. It’s his lack of conscious that’s served him, not genius.
Thanks for being here. ❤️ I wouldn’t be here with out you.
The best thing I have read on our current version of hell. And, I have read a goodly amount. Your truth is also my truth. I look forward to reading more of your works. I just happened upon you while reading Substack. Offhand, I don’t recall the sequence but I will retrace my steps to discover the path.
David Hume: ‘You cannot rationally infer an “ought” from an “is”!’
that means their is no real support for ethics. I have known many highly unethical people, in my opinion, who considered themselves ethical.
I do not believe any real ethics exists with politicians, religious leaders or religion, within any legal structure or life in general.
Hence, expecting any type of fairness in life may be delusional.
I hope you enjoyed your thanks giving.
Incidentally AEON just came out with an article where striving to be happy leads to being unhappy. This article aligns with most of my “beliefs” where I recognize that a belief is only a belief.
