President Donald Trump wants America to know that his plans to remove government officials deemed insufficiently loyal to him is actually for the country’s own good.
L’etat, c’est moi.
Well, yeah, of course Trump’s having purges – it’s one of the top rules in the “Dictator’s Handbook.”
Gosh Donnie you haven’t known ‘what’s good for America’ for 73 years. Everyone has always had to run around behind you and clean up after you. We SEE you!
Maybe Donnie needs to have one of those really long purges on the porcelain throne. Especially after visiting another country and eating the food.
I’m a bit surprised the purges weren’t fake news. I’m sure at some point they will be.
To serve in the Trump administration you must take the Fuhrer Oath.
If everything is fake, then what is real? Is anything real, or does nothing exist but in our minds, colored by our own senses and memories? If so, is there such a thing as absolute truth? Even if there is, what does it matter if none of us can see it clearly?
“I don’t think it’s a big problem,” Trump said. “I don’t think it’s very many people.”
Wrong again, Donnie! (They’ll keep quiet for now, however.)
A post of mine from another thread:
["I believe that we are in a societal conundrum which demands actions which our social institutions are responding to at a pace far too slow for the demands of the country.
Think the snowballs in our youth on the sides of hills…as they grew…rapidly if the slope of the hill was at a large angle.
There are far too many leaders of these institutions who are looking the other way…hoping someone else will risk getting in the crosshairs of the would-be dictator. There are two things which are repugnant about these cowardly “leaders”.
(1) That they are, in fact, cowards
(2) That the cowards can hide behind numbers, protocol and S.O.P.
I once saw a old Western called Tin Star in which the town merchants and bankers left the hapless sheriff alone to face a lynch mob about to hang his prisoner. Just before leaving, the head of the congregation of town V.I.P.'s said (and I paraphrase),
“Well, you know my position. Keep yourself safe. Good luck.”
At least he was more honest about saving his own hide than the institutional leaders of this country (Judiciary, Law Enforcement, Education, Fourth Estate, Business and Commerce, etc.) have been.
Trump is now a menace. He is not an ordinary president, playing by ordinary rules. Until there is a clear, consistent and constant leveling with the American People from our social leaders, Trump will use Barr and McConnell to continue his dismantling of our country."]
Perhaps the greatest Traitor, the most insidious Turncoat ever seen on the world’s stage…is left to stand at podiums and call normal and decent patriots ‘disloyal’ and a ‘disgrace’. And at least 50% of our population isn’t even paying this any attention.
He probably wants to send them to gulags in Alaska, too. You know, for the good of the country.
His monkeys believe it. Oy vey.
Will government officials start turning each other in for not being sufficiently loyal? That’s also in the playbook, isn’t it?
Then they share the accountability (in a loose sense…most people are living lives of quiet desperation).
What about every possible person I referenced above making the decision to save this country? Starting with Roberts. And when he hides behind his robes there should be an accounting for this.
The Latin American dictatorships I am familiar with had hapless populations which did not have 1/10th of the resources we have right now.
As Richard Dreyfuss so eloquently said, “We are lining up to be a hot lunch”…and, as I read Human Nature, very predictably, unless, well, some of us have figured that we have made enough money off of Trump and decide to pull the plug.
Or others can act as well.
There are about 12 social institutions we have which are still viable enough to act on Trump.
Mein Trumpf…
I need hardly point out this is illegal. Or how well it worked out the last time an administration compiled an enemies list. But I will say we’re finally running the government like a business—a company that’s in receivership, run by a mentally ill moron, staffed at the top by bootlickers of the most venal and incompetent type, and otherwise filled with staffers who are utterly demoralized and can’t trust one another. Nice job, Trump voters. Really nice job.
Not even Orwell could imagine a monster like Drumpf. Had Orwell created a character like The Porcine Pant Load it would be considered “over the top”. His editor would have recommended he tone it down a bit to make it at least plausible.
Gird your loins, we have 5 more years of Donnie on the horizon. Or more…
