Spoiler: you’re not paranoid.
“This is a major part of Donald Trump’s campaign for president. One of his biggest applause lines at rallies is his promise to carry out immigrant “roundups.” It’s right up there with the chants of “lock him up” that regularly break out when Trump calls Joe Biden “the most corrupt president in history” and promises to “go after” him and his “corrupt family” if elected.”

“Trump takes bizarre turn as he ratchets up racist rhetoric against migrants” is the headline, but is it “a turn”?
In the same article:
“Trump has made such statements before, including in his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland last month.”
“Trump has a long history of such racist statements, having launched his successful 2016 presidential campaign by describing Mexicans crossing the southern border as rapists and drug dealers.”

So the fascist Trump-and-Putin-supporting MAGA Republicans trying to turn the US into a White “Christian” state, who refuse to condemn Russia’s war crimes and slaughter of people in Ukraine, and also refuse to condemn Israel’s war crimes and slaughter of people in Gaza, are trying to install Trumper Jim Jordan, a vocal insurrectionist, as Speaker, so that, in part, the US gov’t is frozen and can be shut down as wars escalate? The US in disarray.
Putin’s ROI from installing Trump is exponential.

I’ve been waiting for this one. Sure, long time loser Trump gets all the attention, but this is Mike Roman. Back later but for now, I wanted to share this.
Mike Roman being indicted is important for more than the US.

@npub1whs…8wdl To be clear, I haven’t done a market study or anything, but I suspect that there is a greater than zero number of people would like to be able to put their face in the right hand side of that image and share it.
It wouldn’t have to be a digital filter necessarily, more like a plywood cutout at a kids’ fair.
Every voter who voted for Democratic Party candidates and elected Joe Biden helped hold Trump accountable, and could stand in that image proudly. Well done.

“Just like their outfits are all mostly the same, so are their policy points. Do they want a three-week abortion ban or a 15-week abortion ban? Are all of American’s problems caused by the left in general or “Bidenomics” specifically? Do they hate China a lot or do they hate China a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot? The distinctions hardly matter…”

@npub16pc…8j5n Exactly. Your expertise you carry with you, and that’s what most clients are looking for.
When I left my last full time employment an exec asked me, “how much of your decision is because you’re upset by [then current shitshow] and the way you were treated?” and I said “I’m not upset, I could stay and deal with it, but I don't have to.” 😎 13 years later… ☺️

To be fair, the Canadian “Conservative” party is following right along. The current leader of the party is DeSantis wannabe Pierre Poilievre, equally as bright and charismatic as the Floridian version. The CPC has fundamentally failed conservative Canadians.

There are more than 74,000,000 people who voted for a Republican to become President in 2020, and this lineup is the best the party can come up with? For President?
It deserves to die.

@npub1rem…fw9u It was funnelling foreign money to Canadians for the “convoy” terrorist activities of the Ottawa occupation & border blockades as well.
Re “Proud Boys”, a reminder that they are not only “street brawlers”, but a group that has been officially identified as a terrorist organization by at least Canada & New Zealand. IMO any article that discusses them should make this clear.
IMO it’s clear that GiveSendGo enabled & defended foreign money funding terrorist activities in Canada.

Trump’s bases of white, non-college educated males, is shrinking. Their insecurities and desperate attempts to hold onto a world where they hold power makes them easy prey for a cult figure like Trump. Many will come to realize they’ve been the mark, that Trump fleeced them for all he can, leaving them stranded while pumping money to his wealthy donors. Even Fox no longer pretends Trump is anything but a criminal defendant trying to avoid prison, unfit for office.
