Fundamentally, Republicans hate America: ICE and Republicans piss on America both literally and figuratively

        A group of armed, masked men show up at your school, demanding entry and claiming to be ICE.  Do you let them in?  Well, if you don't ICE might just openly piss in your school parking lot in broad daylight.

More than 20 years ago, one of my early FTO told me don't piss in school parking lots when you're on patrol because there will be cameras...  Until the identity of these masked men is revealed my contention remains they are not sworn Law Enforcement and Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, et al hit upon the idea of not having sworn Officers in order to avoid Constitutional Protections.  To wit Head Like a Thumb Tom Homan spoke on Fox & Friends declaring ICE to be able to break the 4th Amendment as they saw fit;

"Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them."

Or piss outside in the schoolyard!  ICE Agents will ignore the plain language of the 4th Amendment, as well as, ignoring repeated SCTOUS decisions concerning Terry Stops and simply pick out brown people for arrest.   Homan went on to declare this will be based on physical appearance, occupation, and location.  Most news stories about Homan's unconstitutional comments omit the reference to Home Depot. And why does Homan mention Home Depot because hispanic laborers do construction and landscaping (as well as a lot of Eastern European immigrants but, ICE isn't grabbing them now are they?) which is work which young white men and Republicans won't, can't, and don't do.  

This is all because White People have been stewing in Reactionary agitprop for decades and Republicans decided 2020 was the greatest disaster to every befall white people (the only people every discriminated against) and they will have their Revenge in this Life or the Next.

ICE is going to be an enormous problem for the United States going forward.  By expanding it fifty-fold with this new Bullshit Reactionary Budget, Trump and the Republicans are going to create an internal Paramilitary Army.  And I believe on purpose.  Because, any attempts by Democrats to curtail ICE (or god-forbid disband ICE) is going to be met with the implicit and probably explicit threat of creating a Freikorps of even angrier armed violent white men who will need very little encouragement from Faux News, Ben Shapiro, and Alex Jones to overthrow any Democratic President or Congress.

Besides the historical parallels of the Roman Empire's Praetorian Guard or the Post-WW1 disaffected German military;  this partially what happened in Iraq, when the Coalition Provisional Authority first official order for the de-Ba'athification of the Nation was disbanding the Army and firing all senior Iraqi officials.  This immediately created a force of disgruntled and now impoverished men with at least some military training and access to mines, bombs, and other weapons.  Hence, the Insurgency began which accounted for the majority of the deaths and injuries of U.S. service members.  

Going forward, the United States will simply slide more towards an un-democratic Nation until as I said the white peoples fascist fever breaks or the Nation does.

The Law Protects Us
And Binds You...

2020 was the finally breaking point for white people.  In response, Republicans and white people said FUCK AMERICA GIVE US FASCISM!,

In August 2024, 

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman signed a law banning wearing face coverings in public at a news conference Wednesday morning. Nassau County covers part of Long Island, just east of New York City.  Blakeman said, "This is not an abridgment of anybody’s rights. Nobody has a constitutional right to hide their identity in public."

One year later...

 

Nassau County Executive Blakeman signs order supporting use of masks by law enforcement

There have been a lot of succinct definitions of Fascism but one of the most pertinent is the Unequal Application of Laws...

Republicans worship Moloch and sacrifice children: Noem and Trump purposefully drowned Children in Texas to Own the Libs

        Fundamentally, the Republican Party hates the United States of America and the American citizenry .  Consequently, with such hatred for Americans their fury at immigrants is genocidal.

Magamorphic Kristi Noem's FEMA:
 No handouts
No hand-ups
Just hand jobs

But, as more details emerge about the criminally negligent and deliberate willful indifference the Trump administration has shown towards the response to the Texas flood disaster it illustrates yet again how Trump and the MAGA movement is far more interested in Optics than actual results.

Kristi Noem, who is more interested in her outfits and her latest injection of face-filler, personally stopped FEMA response for days to Texas.

Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.

Traitor Trump took a press conference where he lashed out a reporter for asking why the Federal Republican response was so slow and cost people their lives.  

Flanked by his Jeffrey Epstein co-criminal Melanoma Trump, bedecked in her most chic disaster safari wear, and a ghoulishly smiling Greg Abbott, Trump responded, "Only an evil person would ask a question like that."  Traitor also used one of his go to tells when he doesn't know something by claiming, "Nobody has any idea how and why a thing like this could happen."

As always with Republicans all they care about is the immediate, the now.  If they can win the messaging war, if they can lie, defame, obfuscate, and bullshit their way through for another two weeks at most, well then the next Republican created catastrophe will be upon us and the Corporate Media won't talk about their previous crimes and scandals and their reactionary MAGA morons won't care.  So, Republicans will tell whatever lies they need to at a press conference.  They will look at the matter very strongly;  knowing they will get press coverage of them saying they will do this or that or everything is great and wow what a job without pushback and without fear of consequences.

As always Republicans know their MAGA moron base and their compliant Corporate Media allies will equate words with deeds and Republican empty promises with action.

Republican officials and residents in Kerr County, Texas continually declined Federal monies for more advanced early warning systems and other flood prevention infrastructure because it came from the "Biden Crime Family"...  The residents of Kerr County, Texas voted overwhelmingly for Trump and for Republicans despite them continually shitting on them.  I don't know how to democratically overcome a voter base which votes for their own immolation.  But, until we do Republicans will continue to sacrifice children to their Moloch.

Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm and the Coming Collapse of the Insurance Industry, is There!

        As a result of the increasing climate change catastrophe Illinois-based insurance company State Farm is raising rates...  on Illinois Homeowners. From the Chicago Tribune reporting, 

State Farm is raising homeowners insurance rates in Illinois by a whopping 27.2% beginning Aug. 15, according to a filing with the state last month. The rate hike, one of the largest in the state’s history, will affect nearly 1.5 million policyholders. New policyholders will pay the higher rates as of July 15.

In its filing, Bloomington-based State Farm said the rate increase is driven by catastrophic losses related to extreme weather events in Illinois.

In February, Northbrook-based Allstate raised homeowners insurance rates by 14.3% for nearly 248,000 Illinois customers, as the broader insurance industry struggles to keep up with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events across the country.

State Farm, for example, has received nearly 13,000 claims and paid out more than $4.2 billion to California homeowners who suffered losses during the devastating wildfires that raged across the Los Angeles area in January, according to an update posted this week on its website.

In 2024, Allstate raised homeowners insurance rates in Illinois by 12.7%, while State Farm implemented a 12.3% increase.

Homeowners insurance rates have been spiking across the country, increasing 40.4% over the past six years, according to LendingTree’s “State of Home Insurance” report for 2025, published in June. Illinois had the seventh highest increase among states, rising 59.5% between 2019 and 2024. 

    My first reaction is once again Democratically run states are being taxed to pay for the profligate and irresponsible political and economic policies of Republicans as well as their dogmatic ideological insistence Climate Change isn't Real.  Fortunately, this also appears to be the understanding of my excellent Governor J.B. Pritzker as well,

“These increases are predicated on catastrophe loss numbers that are entirely inconsistent with the Illinois Department of Insurance’s own analysis – indicating that State Farm is shifting out-of-state costs onto the homeowners in our state,” Pritzker said. “Hard-working Illinoisans should not be paying more to protect beach houses in Florida.”

    The thing is while the Republicans and their paid propagandists keep lying about climate change in order to maintain political power, in the real world of farming, the United States Navy, and the Insurance Industry it is known to be real, it's happening now, and it's going to be already disastrous, both financially and more importantly fatally as the Texas floods just demonstrated.

    But, Republicans are certain to continue to deny climate change and continue to govern their states as though the effects are not happening; thus, A House divided can not stand and all that... 

    Of course, the Republicans in office pushing their bullshit murderous climate change denialist policies feel absolutely confident they will never face the consequences and with their mindless drones having been totally conditioned even when the collapse comes, this is assuredly true and most likely Faux News and white people will blame Democrats, Trans people, and immigrants just as they've been programmed to do.

    In Florida, the Homeowner's Insurance Market is teetering on the brink of total failure, due mainly to Republican mismanagement of the state so when the next big hurricane hits resulting in billions of flood and wind damage, Republicans are going to do what they always do; steal money from Democratic states to pay off the debts they incurred in their states due to their profligate and perfidious criminal negligence and malfeasance.  Traitor trump will assuredly bail out Florida after taking his 20% commission and proclaiming himself the Greatest President Ever, just like he's about do in Texas.

ICE Barbie K. Noem, Trump's FEMA, and Texas Republicans abandon children to drown

        One of the key lies, the Republicans ran upon in the 2024 elections was that President Biden (and Vice President Kamala Harris more specifically) and FEMA abandoned rural white people in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.  As always, Corporate Media aided their Republican allies by turning the issue into a both sides issue by "reporting" Republican lies as equally valid as the truth on the ground and letting voters decide.

So, now in the wake of the Guadalupe River floods in Kerr County, Texas, while children drown Kristi Noem is asking her Only Fans to pick her portrait for the South Dakota Capitol.  

A cursed Killer Triptych of Bloody Kristi

“Which one do you like for the official Governor’s portrait to hang in the South Dakota State Capitol?” Noem asked her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers in a Monday post.

Vamping for her close-up while children drown is not unexpected from a brutal dog-shooting ICE Barbie whose more interested in botox and filler for her face and her outfits.  It appears to be even worse as Noem made sure calls for help went unanswered at FEMA while she was getting ready for her next photo-shot.  Noem personally fired the call takers during the unfolding disaster.

Meanwhile, the erstwhile head of FEMA and Vigo the Carpathian imitator David Richardson is completely absent and hasn't even been seen in a week.  But, then Republicans are Hollow Men;  they preen and pose for the camera, they give their Media allies some Strong Quote, and then vanish when it actually comes to action.

Of course, other Republicans cover for their political partners, 

“President Trump, Secretary Noem, and FEMA have been exceptional partners throughout the flood response,” a spokesperson for Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Politico.

While rightwing propagandists searched about for the nearest black man to blame everything upon, as Trump Political Chief Charlie Kirk did when he blamed the botched, negligent, and criminal Republican Flood Response on the Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker and declared "DEI kills, and the Texas tragedy is just the latest example."

Of course, the truth is local Texas Republicans cut funding for warning systems in the region, 

In the week after the tragic July 4 flooding in Kerr County, several officials have blamed taxpayer pressure as the reason flood warning sirens were never installed along the Guadalupe River.

“The public reeled at the cost,” Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly told reporters one day after the rain pushed Guadalupe River levels more than 32 feet, resulting in nearly 100 deaths in the county, as of Thursday.

and 

Since January, the Trump administration has cut more than 200 employees from FEMA and more than 1,000 employees from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, which houses NWS. 

 But, I've pointed out history and reality is immaterial, the well-oiled Republican Outrage Wurtlizter found a black man too blame, Faux News and other outlets quickly moved onto their Superman outrage and got their ire back up to defend ICE Gestapho tactics.  White people are more than ready to sacrifice some white people for the power Trump has given them to be their worst selves.  

Additional:

Also never forget Republicans routinely vote against Federal disaster aid packages to Democratic States even as the cry alligator tears about aid to their states.

The New Superman is too Political

        This is too political, is the cry of white people who have been trained by Faux News and rightwing propaganda to see everything through the lens of Fascist politics.

Pure Nazi Propaganda 

For decades rightwing propagandists have spent every hour of every day hammering into their audiences' head that proper apolitical viewpoints are inherently fascist, ipso facto the default setting of humanity and Homo politicus is a Nazi Edgelord, most likely named "MechaHitler".

Anything which deviates from this, is ergo unnatural politics or pushing the race card or woke DEI or whatever the newest attack du jour.  This is the entire agitprop message of Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) and Christopher Rufo, Chief Editor of The Fucking New York Times, and of course going back 20 years, what Laura Inazigraham meant with her Shut Up and Sing attacks on The (Dixie) Chicks and racist Shut Up and Dribble attacks on LeBron James.  

Now, this is nothing new, as the roots of this current iteration of Trumpublican Fascism draws deeply from the original 1930's version, as illustrated by Racist Ron Paul's appeal to Fascism in 2018, and is merely the continuation of the Reactionary political swing of the American (and European) Right to the successes of 19th century Liberalism and the Progressive Era of the early 20th century.

But, that's immaterial to the rightwing propagandists whose job it is to stoke Fear & Anger and spike their rabid followers cortisol and adrenaline every day and for Republicans who understand the American voter doesn't remember anything so the only battle worth fighting isn't the long-term bending of the moral arc of the Universe it's the daily pig-fucking, mud-slinging, shit-talking Republicans so excellent at.  Win today and understand the joy of being a conservative is having no memory.

So, as Republicans coalesce upon the Superman is too political line of attack it's because they have no fear their audience will know Superman was created by two immigrants of East European Jewish families, a direct result of rising of anti-Jewish fervor in Europe, of that time period.  Instead, their drones will take to Social Media to decry Superman and James Gunn and whomever the right wants to target today. 

Of course, Republicans every so often circle back and remind their rightwing drones of specific grievances;  as when they dredge up Hunter Biden's Laptop, or excitedly announce the reinvestigation of the cocaine a Trump official planted at the in a cubby at the entrance to the White House, or how eventhough there officially is no Epstein Client List, Hillary Clinton's Ninjas most definitely assassinated Jeffrey Epstein when she held no office, and Epstein was held in a Federal Prison under Traitor Trump and had just been visited by Attorney General William Barr.

Republicans drowned Government in a bathtub so that they could drown children in Texas

     I don't want to hear any complaints about "politicizing a tragedy",  the Republican control of Government is directly responsible for the unfolding tragedy and deaths due to the Guadalupe River flood.

"I'd just [ask] everybody like, pause, take a breath for the recriminations and the Monday morning quarterbacking," Chip Roy on Saturday. "Let's focus on finding those who can be found, then we can always assess what we need to do later, going forward." 

Chip Roy can go fuck himself.  Republicans control Texas and have for years.  There only plans for Government are too cut it.  To reduce government functions.  To eliminate government.  To drown it in a bathtub.  Well, this is the natural by-product of Republican control of government.  Dead people.

The number of statewide deaths fatalities blamed on July Fourth flooding has risen to at least 81 tonight. 

In Kerr County, 40 adults and 28 children are confirmed dead, in Travis County the number is six, for Burnet County it's three, and for Tom Green and Williamson counties the figure is one each. 

There are still multiple people missing in Kerr County, and it's still possible the number of deaths could continue to rise rise tomorrow.

Texas Governor Abbott ran away rolled away from blame by saying "There's no expectation of a water wall of almost 30ft high."

Other Texas assholes rushed in as quickly as the flood waters to wash themselves free of blame,

"We had no reason to believe that this was gonna be any, anything like what's happened here. None whatsoever," Judge Rob Kelly the top elected official of Kerr County said.

Who could have expected flash floods in Texas?  But, then Kelly accidentally put out the real reason Texas Republicans killed their constituents;

Judge Kelly said there is no county-administered warning system in the area because such systems are expensive.

Republicans have adopted the mantra that Government doesn't work and then when they are in office they work to ensure it doesn't.  Republicans like Mike Johnson, and going back 50 years have adopted the stance that Government doesn't and shouldn't help people.  That's why Squeaker Johnson and others have said well it's time for thoughts and prayers;  Republican thoughts are empty and their prayers hollow.  Kristi Noem, Ted Cruz, and numerous other Republicans are currently on a media blitz denying their culpability, blaming having to deal with antiquated systems, and claiming credit for making FEMA Great Again.  That's the Trump 3 step;

• Take credit for everything, especially things you did not do
• Deny blame for everything, most importantly things you did do
• Declare Greatness

This works because the Corporate Media is a willing accomplice.  Despite massive Republican cuts in funding the National Weather Service put out warnings, it's just in Texas nobody in government and nobody in tv or radio repeated these warnings.  So if you didn't have wifi and a phone/computer you didn't get notified.  Those little girl campers at Camp Mystic were there without access to phones and I don't know if the camp counselors brought a short wave radio or any other types of communication devices.

I'm surprised no major Republicans have come out blaming Biden giving money to illegals and interfering with Texas efforts to put buoys with saw blades into rivers.  It used to be these sorts of massive tragedies were met with calls to fix the system, to address fundamental flaws caused by lack of oversight and regulation, to call upon government to make people take precautions and institute safety.

It used to be said all those OSHA rules and regulations are written in blood.  Republicans have spent the last century fuming at all the Government Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.  What they mean is the rules and regulations which stop Republicans and the Rich from getting money and power from the blood of Americans.  Under the fascist traitor Trump administration we are once again going to pay for Republican perfidy in the blood of dead Americans.

The New York Times attacks Zohran Mamdani because Republicans have long afforded themselves the right to determine your reality

GOP Genital Inspector Corps

When President Obama was running for office, some Republicans adopted a subtle (for them at least) form of Racism by declaring Barack Obama wasn't really "black".  You see for the entire history of the Nation they has been a unspoken assumption that white men are the default American and therefore the arbiters of everything it means to be American.  

This is classic White Supremacy and Patriarchy.

The revival of these norms, prior to Trump but, massively accelerating under his wide umbrella has lead to the Anti-DEI pushback.  This, of course, is the direct result of the Reactionary pushback to the Civil Rights Era, and all of the gains made by various marginalized and abused groups and peoples stemming from the 1960s.

This is why they afforded themselves the mantle of Defender of Women's Sports with the ultimate arbitrator of What is a Women?  It's already happened that men have demanded to see the genitals of young girls in high school athletics and with the aid of the Gross Old Perverts on the Supreme Court, Republicans across the Nation will appoint themselves Witch-Finder Generals to sniff the panties and inspect the privates of little girls everywhere. 

This is why Republicans as explicit Nazis and anti-Semites have taken it upon themselves to declare others Anti-Semite.  Tonight, in Iowa Traitor Trump spit out his verbal diarrhea against Shylock bankers.  You know Trump has never read Merchant of Venice and absorbed that term from the bigoted usage he's heard for decades in New York City but, understand he gets to determine who is and who is not an anti-semite and for years as President Trump has castigated bad jews for not voting for him, has called Chuck Schumer (I know not a favorite amongst the Left right now) a Palestinian, while also gleefully attacking Universities for not cracking down hard enough on protests against the atrocities currently being conducted by the IDF and Israeli Nation.

Republicans specifically and white peoples in general have always believed they get determine the truth of your existence.  You aren’t you you are what they say you are.  Your lived life, your experienced reality aren't valid unless they say it is.  This is the entirety of the anti-DEI pushback.  Stephen Miller, Charlie Kirk, Chris Rufo, Riley Gaines, Nancy Mace, Chaya Raichik these are the arbitrators of your life and the people who tell you what you are and now in this fascist ascendent Republican NeoConfederate Nation what you can and can not do with it.

Chris Rufo has been the subject of several loving and helpful Fucking New York Times puff piece and now The Fucking New York Times has a hit piece out on New York Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani.  In the article Benjamin Ryan anonymously cites an outright white supremacist and Nazi named Jordan Lasker who provided the background about Zohran Mamdani with his SCOOP: that Mamdani identified as Asian and African American on his application to Columbia. 

According to MAGA Ben Ryan; Gay Jews and Nazis hate Mamdani 

Benjamin Ryan and his white supremacist source Jordan Lasker are trying to provide the thinnest of reasons for Trump to proclaim he is deporting Mamdani and barring that for white and black people in New York to vote against him.  I guess Ryan couldn't be bothered to know anything about why a child of Indian ancestry and parents might be born in the nation of Uganda.  Instead writing "Columbia, like many elite universities, used race-conscious affirmative action admissions at the time."  Key propaganda words hit: Elite!  Race-Conscious! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!!

This according to Ryan was to gain "an advantage" never mind the fact Mamdani was actually born in Kampala, Uganda East Africa.  Post-colonial thought and research is definitely DEI to Americans like Ryan and the the British Empire never existed since the joy of being a conservative is having no memory and treating everything as though it happened ex nihilo.  The sleazy criminal Eric Adams has seized upon this story and is offended Mamdani used "The African-American identity as a check-box of convenience."

Well, Fascism is ascendent in the Nation right now.  I don't know what's going to happen with Zohran Mamdani.  Rich people, the Corporate Media, and white people who owe everything to their unearned privilege and white power are seemingly coalescing to defeat him.  It's a dark and evil time.

Update:

Christopher Rufo, the Rights current propaganda celebrity, gave Kudos to his allies at The Fucking New York Times for their scoop on Mamdani.

Understand this if nothing else Republicans have, amongst their other crimes and sins, conferred upon themselves the absolute authority to tell you who you are. 

America's Concentration Camps are open, to be filled by ICE the state-funded & sponsored KKK in the NeoConfederate Republican Empire

Announcing Alligator Auschwitz...

I take no joy in having been correct about all the evil actions taken by the Fascist Trump Regime.  The rapid creation of concentration camps inside the actual borders of the United States is one of the lowest points in the 21st century.

Today, Traitor trump and his maladministration are celebrating the Grand Opening of Alligator Alcatraz Auschwitz...

The conditions in south Florida for these people kidnapped and extraordinarily rendered, to a death camp, are going to be horrific.  And that's just the weather; when the camp guards begin to beat, rape, deny food, water, and aid and then torture people the atrocities of Abu Ghraib will seem quaint.  Because very quickly the people Trump and Republicans put into these concentration camps are going to start dying.  And it will be a very simple step from simply not feeding them and then letting them die, and this is not hyperbole, to actively killing them.  And this is exactly what Republicans and white Americans want.

Just watch despicable traitor Trump do his little charismatic speech and wavy hand motions about the prisoners having to run for their lives against snakes and alligators.

“You know, uh, snakes are fast. But alligators, we’re gonna teach them how to run away from an alligator, OK? If they escape prison, how to run away: Don’t run in a straight line, run like this,” Trump continued, making a zigzag motion with his hands. “And you know what? Your chances go up about one percent!"

Did you see how proud of himself he was when he made that little swivel with his hand to simulate a running for your life???  Ha ha ha... Run for your Life!  Ho-ho-ho what a comedian!  What Showmanship!  What a personality!  What a Christian!  What a President!  If after watching his little display you aren't immediately horrified and revolted I not only question your Patriotism but, your humanity.  But, these little speeches are the ambrosia for the Corporate Media, who fucking love him, and the wanton cruelty is precisely what white American christians have yearned for.

Do you think this fat fvcking fascist knows the pythons loose in Florida are "non-native invaders" let loose by rightwing fuck faces who brought them to the US as pets?  But, that is the actual smallest quibble as rightwingers fantasize about liquidating millions of people. 

 

Now, you might point out that quoting Laura Loomer is the gold medal of nut-picking, except, this Fascist is one crotch away from Trump himself.

Now, they want to make sure they can continue to conduct their violent raids of innocent minorities through massive funding by the US Government via the Big Ugly Bill.  More money allocated for ICE than set aside for the Department of the Navy operations for the Marine Corps... 

The reason ICE agents go about conducting their violence masked are the same as the reason KKK members did.

Republicans are ecstatic that they have found a well-organized group of individuals whom they can empower to harass, intimidate, beat, abduct and imprison individuals under the auspices of Law&Order.

Demonizing, Dehumanizing, and Othering non-whites and castigating turncoat bleeding heart whites has been the foundational pillar of Trump's emergence and domination of the Republican Party and the Untied States these past 10 years.  I truly hope this will not continue to the logical endpoint of all rightwing dictatorships but, I'm afraid we are for dark times.  Despite all the false pleas from Trump voters this isn't what they voted for it most assuredly is, whites have been viciously programmed by years of Republican propaganda and it's absolutely immaterial whether or not Trump and his cabal "really mean it" when talking about his murderous discourse.  We are at the first awful step of the Death Camps and like the actual trains it's not likely it will stop before the Republicans begin liquidating people.  

Because as the difficulties of processing, housing, feeding, caring for all the people in their Alligator Auschwitz interfere with their deportation plan, Republicans will morph into the idea that eliminating them upon arrival is the easier, safer, and better option.

Bad Ass Peace through Strength

What Traitor Trump realized from his decades of self-promotion in the 80's and celebrity apprentice is showmanship.

And therefore for the 10 years of his political dominance he knows all he has to do is make grandiose pronouncements and the fawning Corporate Media will report the bullshit lies he says and not the truth behind it or the facts as they really are.

Everyone knows airstrikes do not work.  The reality is these unlawful bombings Trump ordered on Iran made some nice holes in the ground, they didn't destroy anything.  But, Traitor Trump blurted out his usual verbal diarrhea about how because of him everything was perfec, t and a complete success and Iran's three nuclear sites were "obliterated".  This was of course a total fabrication by a known liar. 

But, once the media (and in reality only the non-US media is going to actually disagree with Trump since the American Corporate Media adores their Beloved DonOld) got around to questioning what actual damage these illegal airstrikes accomplished, Trump knew all he has to do is double down and continue to claim everything was "completely destroyed", he is the best President of all time, this was the greatest military operation of all time, and this brought total ever-lasting peace to the region (even if dumb as shit Americans don't know Iran is not in the part of the so-called Middle East) and then watch as his Republican and Media sycophants declare him "President Bad Ass".

Then, in a coordinated talking points campaign,  Republicans flood their compliant and complicit media channels with Trump should win the Noble Peace Prize!  Listen to Rictus grin, breathy baby-voice Katie Britt, gush over her lord and master,

"President Trump is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize no doubt,"  Submissive Trad Wife Britt told chief Propagandist Sean Hannity.  "He did what everyone talked about but nobody thought possible."

What a fucking joke the United States has become. The Republican Party is nothing more than a collection of rapist, racists, thieves, and liars. Republicans learned long ago that by sticking to their coordinated talking points and repeating the same propaganda they can successfully get the American people to believe their lies.

Trump declared a Forever Eternal Ceasefire and Peace, and as CNN shows, the Corporate Media declares his fact-free statements as though they were eternal truths. And when reality smacks, American media and Republican lies, well Trump can merely swear he fucking solved it and those people ruined it but, he was right as always and accomplished things no one ever thought possible! Trump keeps Winning!!!

And don't worry when things go sideways (as they always do after Republicans fuck things up) Republicans and their Media mouthpieces will simply blame Barack & Biden. And if Iran decides to launch more than a few face-saving missiles at US bases, Traitor Bone Spurs and Faux News can simply declare no US troops were injured and any claiming they were are malingering losers with headaches, just as he did 5 years ago...

Anyway "President Bad Ass" is just getting started.

Additional:

Btw, this dick waging by Traitor Trump probably also cost $500,000,000 to fly the B-2 bombers and drop the GBU-57 bombs, but that's not wasteful spending to Republicans who always fucking love to try and kill muslims.

Iranian Sleeper Cells will be the pretext to Crack down on American Protests

     Now, that Trump has started has joined Israel's War on Iran, sensationalists are hyping the threat of "Iranian Sleeper Terrorist Cells" in the United States.

Do you recall during his first Reign of Terror when Trump warned Muslims had infiltrated the United States via the porous Mexican border?  It turned out to be a plot device in the movie Sicario 2.

Because of structural deficiencies in the United States, Trump isn't in any danger of Impeachment from the United States Government which is controlled entirely by Republicans.  Additionally, the Corporate Media, which is already on Trump's side, loves the thought of another war and gushes over Trump's momentous military might.  I'm guessing the Trump cabal sees zero downside to this course of action.  White America will always get behind bombings.  Faux News will never report on this illegal military action.  Conservatives will quickly fall in line and all repeat the same warmonger justifications.

And if things go sideways?  Well, as Steve at No More Mister Nice Blog points out Trump and Republicans will simply blame Barack & Biden.  Rightwing drones have been primed for years by Trump, Corporate Media, and rightwing agitprop to lay the blame for all problems at the feet of the Democrats.  And this past Sunday we already saw Tom Homan and Pete Hesgseth put the onus for these "sleeper cells" onto President Biden.

"I said the last four years my biggest concern was this open border was the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen," Homan lied about. "So I pulled numbers this morning just from a CBP under Joe Biden, there was 1,272 nationals from Iran. And you compare that in the Trump administration, zero, right? Zero releases."

The fear of dastardly sneak attacks by the scary foreigner has been an American Trope ever since Europeans forcibly colonized these lands.  Of course, during the Cold War (the original World War 3), Republicans fear-mongered about Soviet Agents infiltrating and attacking the US from within while the Communist horde launched their attacks from Mother Russia.  This is the basic plot for Little Nikita (1992) and the F/X series The Ameri☭ans (2013-2018).

However, what white supremacists Charlie Kirk and Stephen Miller want is for armed white mobs to harass women in headscarfs and to break windows with Farsi script on them.  I'm sure if he wasn't dead, Trump would have deported The Iron Sheik already.

Because Republicans are going to use  the phony fear of homeland Iranian terrorist attacks in the US as a pretext to crack down violently on anti-War and anti-Trump protests.  Plus, the added bonus will be to send those "terrorists" to El Salvador and the other Republican concentration camps.  Because once those camps are up and running there will always be another group whom Republicans will target to send there.  

Trump and the Republicans start a War in Iran to help foster their War on the American People

        Everyone posting screen captures of Traitor Trump's old tweets claiming President Obama would start a war with Iran to help his 2012 election prospects aren't wrong that hypocrisy and EAIAC are keys to Republican policy goals but, it misses the fundamental base of Republican ideology.  Republicans believe the US Government only has two legitimate roles 1) the creation of a massive military complex to threaten foreign nations and open-up overseas markets for US exploitation and 2) a large law enforcement apparatus to quell domestic dissent at home.

Reported a mere 6 hours before the bombing

The cries of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse are euphemisms for the slashing of the social safety net, and dismantling of the regulatory state, and the elimination of any and all programs which aid the American people.  

Republicans hate the United States.  Passionately.  Viscerally.  Totally.  Project 2025 and Trump's first 6 months have demonstrated exactly what I wrote was going to happen a multi-front, concentrated effort to destroy the United States and replace it with a Neo-Confederate Nation State built upon the Twin Pillars of Corporate Hegemony and White Supremacy.

Look at what the Trumpublican Budget Bill spends on;  ICE, which is requesting billions in emergency funding, is slated to get 50 Billion under Trump and the Republican plan.  Musk and his Incel Boys stole every American's data and gave it to Palantir, which is also going to get billions in DoD money

ICE, and it's masked agents, is nothing more than the KKK with explicit state-sponsorship.  Look, at Confederate Princess Marsha Blackburn proposed to defend her KKK brethren 

“Blue city mayors are doing everything they can to obstruct the Trump administration’s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens,” said Senator Blackburn. “My Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act would make this illegal and hold blue city mayors accountable for obstructing enforcement of our immigration laws by putting law enforcement officers in harm’s way.”

Look, it's explicit.  Republicans seek to deploy the Military to liberal cities to crush the American people.  Trump always lamented he didn't send in the military to big cities in 2020.  I'm certain he feels he would have won the 2020 election if he had the US military patrolling American cities in the wake of the George Floyd murder.

Armed White Gangs roaming the streets

The Los Angeles resistance is infuriating to him but, it's exactly what he wants.  The War in Iran is going to be used as a pretext to send the US military into every major city in the liberal States he did not win and even those states he did win.  Republicans will back this move immediately under the guise of Law&Order,  conservative propagandists will begin to ramp up popular support for rightwing voters under the threats from blacks, browns, and muslims.  Republicans want to do to LA, Chicago, and Atlanta what Israel is doing to Gaza...

Don't expect Republicans to disagree or dissent to Trump's illegal warmongering.  They will fall in line, as they always do.  And don't expect the Corporate Media to create any resistance.  CNN, Jake Fucking Tapper, and the paid pundits were lauding this bombing as an unbelievable show of strength and military might immediately.  The Corporate Media adores their Beloved Leader DonOld and yearns to have another War to cover.  Juxtapose the Media's vicious coverage of President Biden's ending of the 20 year Afghanistan debacle with the fawning adoration they throw at Traitor Trump's feet for starting a War with Iran.

And the so-called "anti-interventionist" Left & Right?  Well, you must be joking!  Those people screamed their Genocide Joe and Kamala is a Cop propaganda to win the Presidency for Trump.  What Trump does is not their concern and the more death, damage, and destruction he cause the better it is for them; or so they believe because Republicans and the American Left's enemies are the Democratic Party and the American People.

So, the War is here.  Republicans and the American media will lie about it non-stop.  And while the innocent Iranian people are going to have it worse being blown to smithereens by US and Israeli mentions the Republican War on the American people is about to enter its darkest phase.

Parade Deck Sec Def (Oops Sec)

Drunk & Incompetent

I am still livid over the shameful disrespect towards Ira Hayes, Jackie Robinson, and so many other Veterans by the racist cowards, traitors, and Incels who never served a fucking day but, lets not forget how the current Secretary of Defense showed himself to be an incompetent and stupid man.

Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment and a stupid fuck who doesn't know how to lead.  Many people don't know how to lead and to compensate they focus on the wrong fucking things.  Hegseth's ideas of leadership are like a grade school boys imagination,

"It starts with the basic stuff, right?" Hegseth told the crowd. "It's grooming standards and uniform standards and training standards, fitness standards, all of that matters."

Focusing on how a uniform fits and grooming is a facile take and literally the most superficial view of leading, which belongs in basic training and the parade deck but, not in a combat ready military.  

As I deployed into combat zones it became readily apparent what senior NCOs had spent their careers worrying about shiny black books and Stay-Flo starched uniforms.

There were a whole cadre of Marines who in the post Vietnam era didn't deploy much and were laser-focused on chewing out any Marine who dared use the cargo pockets on his woodland cammies instead of having them flat up against the pants leg.

These Marines were focused on performance on field day instead of performance in the field.

It was evident Hegseth wasn't fit to be SecDef by the fact everyone in his command recommended he be kept as far away from authority and leadership as possible.  So to Hegseth, leadership amounts to what you look like.  

Hegseth also mentioned Broken Windows a wholly discredited policing strategy which of course appeals to a shitbag like him as it's annoyance and intimidation of peoples and fits with his worldview of some people not really having rights and protections and being subject to the whim of the Police State.

"It's almost like the broken windows theory of policing: when you ignore the small stuff from criminals, and I'm not I'm not saying if you violate grooming standards, you're a criminal, the analogy is incomplete, but if you violate the small stuff and you allow it to happen, the big stuff, it creates a culture where big stuff you're not held accountable for. I think the same thing exists inside our services," Hegseth insisted.

Except that is not how good police work is done.  It is how an occupying army views a subjugated peoples.  It is how a bully thinks and how a campaign of low-level harassment works to control victims.  It's a shit theory advanced by people who do not understand day-to-day policing, do not understand crime, and do not understand how best to deter or investigate crime and is a way of thinking a person who spent the last decade sitting on a couch spewing propaganda to Faux News watchers thinks.

Hopefully, we won't have any catastrophes under Hegseth's tenure but just these series of insults, blunders, and intolerances.  Sadly, I'm certain Hegesth (And Trump, Vance, and Musk) are going to get itchy to prove how big and strong they are and we'll find ourselves in a shooting war with NATO in Greenland, Panama, and Ontario.

Update:

Drunk and Incompetent.   Just prior to the Operation, Pete Hegseth and Senior Trump officials included Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor of The Atlantic, in Top Secret bombing campaign which happened in Yemen last week.  Hegseth is "accidentally" going to include Volodmyr Zelenskyy in the planning for the US Army 82nd and 101st Airborne assault on Kyiv in coordination with a Putin thrust into Ukraine.

Republicans hate America: Elon Musk is going to steal your grandmothers Social Security

Musk Swastikars not only threaten your Rights but
your very Lives, as well.

 And then lock her into a Cybertruck and burn her to death.

Every Tesla dealership should be burned to the ground before further unfortunate Americans get trapped inside these death traps or simply get run down in the street and killed by Elon Musk.  Musk, himself, should probably also be burned to death (metaphorically) to safeguard Americans.

Tesla had to take the step this month of recalling every single Cybertruck because the vehicles are falling apart.  Teslas are the shoddiest most dangerous vehicles on the roadways today.  In any functioning State, with a healthy robust regulatory system, Cybertrucks and Teslas would be banned from the roadway.  Instead in Fascist America, the erstwhile President and multiple Senators do free car advertisements and the financial markets widely over-value the company.  Well, in response to Musk's vandalization of the United States Government, people across the globe have at a grassroots level have created the Tesla Takedown, boycotting, and driving down the value of Tesla stock, as well as more direct destructive action against Tesla dealerships (which is very bad wink-wink).

This has made Elon Musk very mad.  And because he's a disregulated, petulant, ketamine-addict Musk is going to destroy Social Security.  Musk started his temper tantrum with massive lies about what DOGE was uncovering in the Social Security Administration (SSA) unfortunately for Musk his lies were easily disproved but after he got caught in a massive lie about 300 year old dead people being found on the SSI roles,  so Musk, the drug-addicted Nazi, decided to fire a bunch of SSA workers and stopped actual Americans from receiving their benefits.

Also having been caught in his stupid lies, Musk increased the scope of his lying while he furiously unleashed his Vandals on multiple agencies and buildings in orgies of destructive petulance.  Congressional Republicans for their part continue to bow, scrape, and defer to DOGE and Musk telling their angry constituents, 

“I support Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency,” - Mike Flood of Nebraska.  Total soy, cuck, NPC vibes.  Remember all those insults rightwingers use are a reflection on themselves. 

Though, Republicans of course, have yearned to destroy Social Security for decades.  I've posted often over the years how each generation of Republicans claims Social Security is going

Bankrupt

Republican Plan for America

Years ago Republicans broke the Social Contract but it's this moment they've been waiting for; the convergence of power at all levels of the Federal Government and just the right collection of hired mercenaries and vandals (i.e. DOGE and Elon Musk) to crush America.  As they dismantle the Nation, impoverish people, begin the extraordinary renditions and human rights violations they are banking on a reaction and uprising big enough for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Then MAGA can accomplish the True Goal of Project 2025;  the rounding up and liquidation of millions of people.

Update:

And in case you're so self-deluded to believe I'm being over-the-top hyperbolic here is the Trump Press Liar KKKaroline Leavitt casually discussing the DEATH PENALTY with Faux News Propagandist Harris Faulkner'

 “And I know that on January 20, the president signed through an executive order, restoring the death penalty … this is deadly, dangerous stuff these liberal protesters are playing with," Faulkner said.

“It is, Harris,” Leavitt replied. “And what I can tell you is that President Trump condemns this violence and he is determined to restore law and order in our country, and he will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those who are engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company.” 

Republicans concept of Law&Order are identical to those of Germany from 1933-1945.

J. D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Elon Musk declared Ira Hayes a DEI Marine

Ask a white Trump voter to point out which
Marine is Ira Hayes (My photo from 2013)

    I am certain Drunk Rapist Pete Hegseth is looking forward to the remixed version of Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers in which Ira Hayes is removed entirely from the film.

I am unsurprised at the level of utter disdain, disrespect, and dishonor DonOld Traitor Trump and EloNazi Musk have for American Veterans.  From shitting on Medal of Honor recipients, belittling Americans wounded and killed under his tenure as President, to disrespecting Arlington National Cemetery.  There has been solid reporting on the DOGE Bags simply removing information from the unclassified DoD webpages about women and minorities in the history of the United States Military.  Including the slap in the face, of adding "DEI Medal" to the webpage address of Medal of Honor recipient Charles Calvin Rogers, simply because he was a black man.

But, DOGE wasn't content and now they've simply removed information about Ira Hayes, a Hero pictured in the most iconic picture from World War 2.  That its' removal nearly coincides with the 80th anniversary of the photo the War Department's capitalization via Nationwide publicity tours to Win the War is just the cherry on-top the shit DOGE cake.

White people hate America.  This level of repeated insults, continued disrespect, and absolute racist treatment of a man who survived one of the worst battles in the Pacific only to fall victim to PTSD and die a sad lonely death just 10 years later is.  I can not adequately convey how livid that 70 years after his death a cadre of cowards, bigots, Incels, grotesqueries, and traitors could saunter into power and feel empowered to simply erase him from official records.

Certainly, the Trump administration spokes liars responded with some mealy-mouthed bullshit about how this was inadvertent accidental purge of Ira Hayes and the Flag Raising over Mt. Surabachi but, it's part of Donald Trumps promise to rid the US Military of the dreaded DEI.  This is of course designed to give over to his ardent white racist supporters the cover to say Nuh-Uh!  Trump didn't disrespect Ira Hayes!  DEI gotta go!

The address for the article on Hayes, for example, now includes “deipima-indian.” The URL for an article about combat medic Charles Norman Shay of the Penobscot tribe, who survived the D-Day landings in 1944, now reads “deinative-american-fought-with-distinction-in-world-war-ii-and-korea.” 

DEI has been one of the most successful branding campaigns conceived and implemented by Republicans.  Of course, Christopher Rufo's bullshit everything is DEI would not have worked without the complicit cooperation of the Corporate Media.

Supposedly, J.D. Vance is a Marine.  I'd like to ask him if he feels his service was more honorable than Ira Hayes' because Vance is a white man.  I wonder if Just Despicable Vance had the courage to tell his Senior Drill Instructor at Parris Island that Ira Hayes was no hero?

And that DonOld Traitor Trump would be able to get away with proclaiming how much he loves our troops and white people would fall all over themselves to worship him, while he continually denigrates and shits on men and women far braver than he could ever be.

Update:

DOGE Incels also shit on Jackie Robinson whom they also labeled “DEI” which of course illustrates Republicans were rooting for the racists and bigots in the Chadwick Boseman led biopic.
