Rise of Fascism in the United States [SPLIT]

[TX-Beau]

It's incredibly cringe when anyone takes a buzzword, and makes up a title to go with it.

Congress does this all the time and it really is one of the most risible and puke-making practises, not matter which party does it.

Increasingly though, it is meant to obscure the truth.

Purely Orwellian. Where all the slogans and catchphrases mean the exact opposite.

...If he didn't do anything wrong, then why is he getting rid of anyone who investigates wrong-doers?

She protests too much.

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse [D-RI] has the message: "Watch your wallets."

I never knew about this Act, but this is a good guardrail to know about and apply as a test to any (most) (all) of TrumpCo.'s edicts...The Administrative Procedures Act.

It is a piece of brilliance that seems to have anticipated this day.

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court

Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Well there you go.

Trump appoints his favourite Kapo homosexualist Richard Grenell as acting director of the Lincoln Centre and has the board appoint him Chair.

Just weird. And also unsettling. And so 1930's Germany.

This is what capitulation to fascism looks like.

Google is not benign.

It is part of a conspiracy to diminish and devalue people in the United States, either out of fear or out of complicity.

If this were the 1930's they would be removing Juden.

Interesting...

I expect that the KC is likely to see most of its funding from traditional donors dry up almost overnight.

They will have to rely on the tech bros., the Kochs and on the other trogs to mount their Hee Haw tribute concerts.

And we know that most of these don't support ongoing operations or performances. They only like buildings with their names on them.

We have seen that TrumpCo. don't support the performing arts unless it is pole dancing at Epstein Island.

Get ready to see the Centre shuttered more often than open.

Gulf of America name change in the U.S. — what you’ll see in Maps

In the U.S., the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has officially updated “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America.” As we announced two weeks ago and consistent wi…

An interesting perspective on the seizure of the Kennedy Centre by Trump.

Pointing out the irony of the least cultured person in the US deciding that he should be arbiter of culture.

Where did y'all think we'd end up?

 

[rareboy]

Another brief reprieve.

 

[rareboy]

Another court order preventing Musk and Trump from dismantling another agency.

Of course, doesn't change the fact that Trump remains a convicted felon.

 

[Dargelos]

Removing words from the public vocabulary is straight out of '1984'
In the real life dystopia of the GDR the people used substitute words to get past the censor.
If you can no longer legaly say 'felon' just say 'Elon' instead, the meanings are interchangeable.

Can we pitch in to buy every billboard in DC and put Felon and his picture up?

It definitely is a telling sign of his mental illness, isn't it?

And very much like the 'Emperor's New Clothes' story.

Eventually some child (Damien X Musk?) will just tell him he is naked.

And the erasure continues as the men with tiny dicks run roughshod over 50% of the country's people.

They'll have them in Burkas in no time.
