Quote"In fact, Mr. President, you have 350 million people to liberate. You know, but to liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some," Bukele said.

Open defiance of the law of the land.  And everyone is too pussy to stop it.  You would think out of 350 million people there would be enough who would rise up and stop the madness.

America went full Nazi in one beat of a heart. 

Sending people to concentration camps qualifies Trump as a full-on no fucking doubt about it Nazi.  Trump is genociding the Gaza Strip right now!  He wants to turn it into a golf course.  Hitler had to use concentration camps in his own country.  Trump has one-upped Hitler here.  Trump's concentration camps are in a foreign land.  The stench of Trump's death will be far away. 

I looked up the definition of Nazi to be sure I was not barking out my ass.  I am not.  Trump is NAZI!



How much of Trump's crypto do we have to buy to get off the list?

Trumpolini goes Full Hitler!  Now he's gonna deport citizens to foreign jails!  Plus once their there, he claims no responsibility to bring them back!  HTF are you supposed to appeal?

The statement from the federal antisemitism task force asserts that Harvard's stance reflects a disregard for civil rights obligations tied to federal funding. Yet, cutting off funds is done to suppress student protest.  A constitutionally protected civil right under the First Amendment.

This is a fundamental contradiction: the government claims to be enforcing civil rights law by violating one of the most essential civil rights  The right to free expression and peaceful protest.   You cannot claim to defend civil liberties by attacking them. If federal funding is contingent upon silencing dissent, it is not civil rights that are being upheld, but political compliance that is enforced. This is coercion.

The money being withheld was never granted by the withholding party, and the withholding party should not be deciding how money they have nothing to do with should be spent.  But thieves are in charge so whatcha gonna do?

Impeach the motherfucker.  Or suffer revolt.  If you are watching big brother, and I know you are, it is a simple choice.

Interesting observations by someone who wrote on His Donaldness becoming POTUS in 1988:

It's official, Harvard has more backbone than Columbia.  Or they're endowmeent is better positioned to withstand losing goobermint grants.  Whichever it is the question is where Herr Trump will go from here, and whether this will begin to motivate some campus protesting against Trumpolini?  So far his actions haven't produced enough in the way of negative consequences, which encourages him to keep going further.

And the beat goes on.

Labor needs to step up and make noise.  Bold and united, doing whatever it takes to win.  Nothing comes from free,  If labor does not fight exploitation, then exploitation only increases.




Trump's plan to make America great again is to remove all the protections American labor movements fought and died for to gain. 



In 1895 America when Trump dreams that thinks things were great, laborers faced long hours, low wages, unsafe conditions, child labor, and no job security.  This is Trumps dream of a golden age.  Of making America great.  Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, made his fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush, which peaked between 1896 and 1899. Friedrich moved to the Yukon region in 1897 and operated restaurants and hotels.  Catering to miners with food, lodging, and prostitution.  In case you were wondering why Trump thinks 1890s America was great.  It was the age of the robber baron, when opulent wealth stood over extreme poverty.  Trump's kind of place.

A comprehensive analysis, covering aspects of our current geopolitical and domestic landscape. I'm struck by Richard's observation that the U.S. is becoming more isolated.  Evidence of the American empire failing.  Figures like President Elon Musk embody a desperation through unconventional approaches and divisive and abrasive personas.  Hail-Mary passes of desperation as Richard says.

Myopic leaders are detached from critical issues as things deteriorate.  American corruption becomes more efficient than ever before thanks to DOGE.  Elon leads the way to a new digital feeding trough.  Long established internationalist relationships are destroyed as capitalism takes full control of America and seizes the national purse.

If Tesla came out with a new model, anybody who would buy one would be a fool.  The day Tesla releases a new model.
  Sledgehammer sales will spike.

How unfortunate. So what "expenses" were you incurring that would cause such a reaction? Eating?

Quote from: K-DogThere is a forgotten America which thought suffering built character and that unearned riches were the devils tool.  Sometimes suffering can build character.  Most of the time suffering just breaks people.

This one I get. I'll go with the character building side. But then I'm "old" American, as opposed to the pussyfication that appears to have overrun the country. Helicopter parents for christs sake....ruined the entire country.

Damn straight. Fucking groundhog when the venison ran out.

Mine is a 150 miler, and certainly bargain basement.

What else can you call it.  Once free people woke up to discover they were serfs, and now it is happening again.  A new dark age.

Who owns who is being established before our eyes.  Musk is taking Social Security and by doing so Musk will own a fuck of a lot of people.🧍🧍🏾🧍🏿🧍🧍🏽  Theft in broad daylight.  Digital slavery, and nobody seems to give a fuck.

QuoteWired reported last week that SSA regional commissioner Linda Kerr-Davis said in a meeting with managers: "We are no longer planning to issue press releases or those Dear Colleague letters to inform the media and public about programmatic and service changes. Instead, the agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public...so this will become our communication mechanism."

Today Newsweek reports: Social Security Issues Update After Reports of Messaging Changes.

QuoteIn a post on X, which is owned by DOGE's de facto leader Elon Musk, referencing the article, the SSA said: "This is false. Social Security will continue to communicate through any and all mediums."

When asked by Newsweek regarding the quote from Kerr-Davis, a spokesperson repeated the same message. The White House has also denied the contents of the report.

Last week, the agency partially announced a rollback to a recent policy change regarding identity proofing for new benefits applicants using X.

So what is the truth?  The truth is Musk has taken control of Social Security.  There are massive firings going on and Musk loyalists are taking over.  Newsweek is damage control.  Bought and paid for.  America might begin to complain when the checks stop coming and Musk begins getting a piece of the newly discovered 'efficiency savings' which used to be their benefit checks.  You know the 'entitlements' you sacrificed before the holy grail of efficiency.🏆  But he's one of the kings men, so whacha gonna do?
