Who wore it Better Hitler or Drumph?

At Trump’s North Carolina rally, over 4,000 people left after about 15 minutes. A reporter asked many why they were leaving. They all had the same answer: they were paid to attend, required to stay at least 10 minutes and take a photo of the start to prove they attended. Maga’s are loud but way fewer in number than we think. Trump’s going to lose in a landslide.
It happens every Trump rally now. Soon as the Venmo transaction hits their account, paid attendees get up and leave. While he is drooling on himself at the podium.

BOOM. “Trump Train” driver found liable under the Klu Klux Klan act (42 USC 1985(3)) for trying to run Biden/Harris supporters off the road.
It’s domestic terrorism.

Convicted Trump started a “modeling agency” where he would bring underage models to work illegally on travel visas, wouldn’t pay them, they contractually couldn’t work anywhere else, & this started right after he became bffs with Diddy?!?
Those who are confused about the timeline… Trump became bffs with Diddy roughly around 1997-98. He then opened his modeling agency in 1999. This was during his rise to fame with the rap industry, which he was at the center of the party scene : … Trump’s modeling agency told a model, who was trying to tell them she was being sexually assaulted by a photographer, that it was “commonplace behavior”…
After the meeting, Portillo expressed her trepidation to her agents at Trump Model Management — the modeling agency founded in 1999 by now-former-President Donald Trump — and told them that Richardson had worn only a robe, according to the lawsuit.
They waved away her distress, her suit alleges.
“Trump Model Management dismissed her concerns, telling her that such behavior was commonplace and that given Mr. Richardson’s prominence and influence in the industry, Ms. Portillo should overlook his behavior,” the lawsuit claims.

What Is Conservatism and What Is Wrong with It? Phillip Agre
Philip E. Agre
August 2004

Liberals in the United States have been losing political debates to conservatives for a quarter century. In order to start winning again, liberals must answer two simple questions: what is conservatism, and what is wrong with it? As it happens, the answers to these questions are also simple:

Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.

Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.

These ideas are not new. Indeed they were common sense until recently. Nowadays, though, most of the people who call themselves “conservatives” have little notion of what conservatism even is. They have been deceived by one of the great public relations campaigns of human history. Only by analyzing this deception will it become possible to revive democracy in the United States.

Knowing Merrick Garland for decades, I’m particularly encouraged by the way his DOJ is linking the dots in an ever-tightening spiral that can lead to only one prime mover, the clear beneficiary of the entire seditious conspiracy to seize the presidency.

EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND INDEPENDENT SCHOLARSHIP

Gospel According to the Klan, I urged that we had to take seriously the Klan’s brand of white religious nationalism. That we can’t assume the Klan is done because fewer members today pick up the hoods and robes. That declining Klan membership doesn’t mean the order will disappear. That just because the order is not hypervisible that they no longer exist. The Klan’s legacy is more accurately seen in their style of politics. Klan membership might actually be the worst way to think of the Klan’s historical legacy and influence, because the Klan’s ideas, rhetoric, and politics still matter.

Judge Rules Tucker Carlson Is Not a Credible Source of News
The federal judge, Mary Kay Vyskocil, who herself was appointed to the federal bench by Trump nine months ago, dismissed the case, citing Carlson’s First Amendment protections. That is, Vyskocil bought the argument Fox News was pushing that Carlson is, first and foremost, not a provider of “the news” as we know it, or “facts” as we commonly understand them, and his audience knows this.

AR-15 like weapons in this country and the creepy religious language used with them. Christian nationalists who have turned the AR-15 assault-style rifle into a religious artifact A gunmaker put a Bible verse on an ‘Christian’ assault rifle so that no ‘Muslim terrorist’ can use it. For about $1,400, you can now buy Spike’s Tactical’s “Christian” AR-15 —aptly named the Crusader — inscribed with the Psalms 144:1 bible verse, “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” It also is etched with a Knight’s Templar Long Cross

U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret ‘Jesus’ Bible Codes Supplier for rifle sights says it has ‘always’ added New Testament references.

@tlecaque I am not over the fact that a gun company made a gun named the Crusader, stamped Psalm 144:1 on it, it’s in such high demand that there’s a 12-18 month waiting period, and we don’t treat it as a call for religious terrorism. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” Because this kind of garbage is what the US has decided is the acceptable level of Christian Nationalism on assault weapons. Guns are NOT appropriate solution for DISGUSTING Christian Nationalism’s views on the nation’s problems.

“I know that men are won over less by the written word than the spoken word, that every great movement on this earth owes its growth to great orators . . . and not to writers.” — Adolph Hitler

TEA PARTY ROOTS

Donald Trump’s money originally came from his grandfather Friedrich Trump who ran a whore house and bar in Canada’s subarctic British Columbia. That is the root of the family fortune. Friedrich Trump made a killing in the rough-and-tumble frontier towns of that era, the Arctic’s business model built on food, booze and sex was common. The profit he generated in two years grew into the family fortune that trust fund has supported his grandson’s bid for the U.S. presidency.

Election Voter Education for Americans

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~ Aesop

IT started with this, a plank adopted by the Democratic national convention of 1948: “The Democratic party commits itself to continuing efforts to eradicate all racial, religious, and economic discrimination.” That was enough to bring the devil howling out of his hole, that foot-on-the-neck-of-the-black-man devil of the Jim Crow, hookworm, lynch-prone south – “the solid south” that reliably delivered its votes to the Democratic party every four years. Trump’s Scottish roots.

Scots were influential in founding the Ku Klux Klan, including the traditional Scottish symbol of the burning cross and the KKK’s oath ceremony, which originated from a Highland custom. Many of the “crackers” were Scots-Irish Protestants who had left Ireland in the 18th century.

Maryland May Have To Change Its State Song Because It’s TOO RACIST
Maryland My Maryland is sung at the Preakness Stakes which is televised. Maryland lawmakers who support changing the official state song think the time is right to finally wipe away “Northern scum” and other sensitive pre-Civil War phrases.

According to the state advisory panel the lyrics of the Civil War-era song, which refers to Abraham Lincoln as a “despot” and called on Maryland to join the Confederacy, doesn’t reflect the feelings of the people of Maryland, The Washington Post reports.

In replacing the 150-year-old song, the panel recommended adopting “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the state song. Its author, Francis Scott Key, was from Maryland and it is about a battle that took place in Baltimore.

Fox News Rupert Murdoch secret Deal with Reagan, Cohn

WHY CAN’T WE GET RID OF FOX NEWS?

Both Cohn and Reagan got their starts in politics during the anti-communist purges in the 1950s, Cohn as Sen. Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel and Reagan as a witness against alleged communists in Hollywood.

1983 Roy Cohn helps install Maryanne Trump in New Jersey court
Sometime in the summer of 1983, Maryanne Trump Barry asks her brother Donald for a favor: see if Roy Cohn can pull President Reagan’s ear and nominate me for a federal judgeship.
Cohn makes a phone call to Attorney General Ed Meese, and Reagan calls Maryanne on September 13. Maryanne is on the U.S. District Court in New Jersey by the end of October, and Donald Trump has political influence in the state where he’s building casinos.

Rupert Murdoch, the global media mogul who is now a kingmaker in American politics, was brought into those power circles by the infamous lawyer/activist Roy Cohn who arranged Murdoch’s first Oval Office meeting with President Ronald Reagan in 1983, according to documents released by Reagan’s presidential library.
“I had one interest when Tom [Bolan] and I first brought Rupert Murdoch and Governor Reagan together — and that was that at least one major publisher in this country … would become and remain pro-Reagan,” Cohn wrote in a Jan. 27, 1983 letter to senior White House aides Edwin Meese, James Baker and Michael Deaver. “Mr. Murdoch has performed to the limit up through and including today.”
