Isn’t kidnapping and disappearing people, then refusing to disclose their locations, all without any charges or trials, a violation of international law?
Aren’t those things the U.N. should condemn as human rights violations.
If they won’t then what purpose does it serve?
The oligarchs are no doubt disappointed by the ineptitude of their front man. But I believe their long term focus is still on owning the world.
It sucks for humanity that in striving for that goal they’re going to destroy the planet.

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said there are about 60,000 beds currently available for detained immigrants and the goal is to expand to 100,000. “We’re looking for any available bed space we can get that meets the detention standards we’re accustomed to,” Homan said Friday. “The faster we get the beds, the more people we can take off the street.” That last sentence should concern us. He says “people”, not criminal illegal gang members.
I know damn good and well that we defeated racism and Islamaphobia, too many people in America would find some other group of people to hate. Americans, with a lot of help from Christianity, have been raised to think we’re better than anyone else. Everyone else is inferior to us, hating them is OK.
There are some atrocities being committed by the regime to exact revenge for Trump’s perceived insults, then there are those enacted to further to goals of Project 2025 and the oligarchs. The first will end with the end of the fuhrer’s reign. The others will continue and increase.
As much as I’d love for something like the Epstein files to bring down and disgrace Trump, I’m more concerned about the ideology he’s introduced. This fascist regime is more than just one man.
I remember when we looked forward to having more free time to be creative once robots, now Ai, took over some of the most labor intensive and mind numbing jobs. Now I worry that as automation replaces humans in vital jobs, humans will become slaves to the oligarchy.
There are billion dollar infrastructure projects in other countries, connecting islands with underground tunnels or using architecture to modernize cities, and then look at how we’re misusing the same amount of money while our cities are falling apart, and I wonder why we think we’re great.
This 4th of July will not be a day for celebrations but for protests, organized and loud. Get media coverage.
This 250th year of our nation will either be the last as a democracy or the first as a nation rededicated to equality, justice, and the rule of law.

The cell phone wasn’t developed to spy on its users. But eventually nefarious characters, once they understood the capabilities of cell phones, noticed what a good spying and tracking device it was. It’s the same with the WWW and Internet. Good intentions at the start, now corrupted into near uselessness. I’m beginning to distrust every new technology. Especially those who watch and listen constantly. Amazon Echo, Google Hub, and soon a similar offering from Apple.

“Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated…Doctors and other medical staff can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on their marital status, political party affiliation or union activity… As a single, liberal veteran who receives all my medical care at a VA hospital, this deeply concerns me. Trump has already called liberals enemies of the state.

Army - June 14 Navy - October 13 Marine Corps - November 10 Coast Guard - August 4 Air Force - September 18 Space Force - December 20 If Trump does not hold a national parade on every one of these days then he cannot deny that the farce planned for June 14th has nothing to do with the Army. It’s all about him.

Trump is not the 47th president of the United States. He is the 1st dictator of America, a country composed of 50 fiefdoms under his direct control. Every American who makes less than $100,000 a year has more in common with immigrants than with oligarchs. With all the important problems facing the country right now, the dictator is only concerned with putting down dissent and harassing anyone who disagrees with him.
The State of the Union
It’s definitely Spring.
I used to have a broad range of interests. My bookshelves contain volumes on an array of topics. But lately all I can focus on is politics. The threat of fascism has forced me to devote all my time and mental energy to bringing down this regime.
Trump knows nothing about history, economics, foreign relations, and just about everything else except the con. It might behoove him to consider the fate of another recent despot, the late Muammar al-Gaddafi.

We don’t manufacture a sufficient number of unique products that can’t be obtained elsewhere to be threatening other countries. They can just ignore us, go around us, and forge alliances that don’t include the United States. Trump is screwing our economy into the ground. What’s he going to do when we need rare earth metals or other things needed to make our computers and cars, and the world tells us to go fuck ourselves?
I’m not a pessimist, I’m a realist and a pragmatist. If we don’t honestly assess the danger, we can’t prevent it. If we don’t identify the enemy, we don’t know who to fight. If we don’t study their tactics, we won’t know how to defeat them. We can’t pretend this is normal or acceptable.
More people than ever before will die; In traffic accidents due to unsafe roads and vehicles, In airplane crashes, From untested drugs, From unsafe food, From domestic abuse, From attacks on minorities.
