The Trump administration is following a blueprint laid down by Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orban.
New Federal Employees Must Now Write Essays Praising Trump's Policies
It really, really does matter that America elected someone who has unmanaged and severe psychological issues that impair his functioning.
It’s absolutely unacceptable that the media refused to and continues to refuse to cover this.
How Kim Jong Un of Trump!
"Scott Lucas, a professor in international politics at University College Dublin, told Newsweek that Project 2025 'set this out' with government cuts and other Trump initiatives, so the news was not surprising. 'This is an authoritarian regime,' he said.
Adam Bonica, a political scientist at Stanford University, wrote in a Substack post: 'A merit-based civil service that took generations to build is being dismantled via memo.' "

We are in grave danger.
"Grave" Danger? It's not coming from Trump alone. It's coming from the push-back to Trump. It's "institutional".
ReplyDeleteThe Constitution clearly states: "...no one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law" by the federal government."
DeleteEvery PERSON being taken off the streets of America and being sent to detention centers and/or foreign prisons has been denied due process -- guaranteed by our laws.
Trump is responsible for this lawlessness. What do criminals have in common? They don't care about laws. They break them.
Trump is committing crimes daily as he allows his masked ICE thugs to kidnap people, undocumented, green card carriers, legal aliens, and even American citizens and throw them in jail without due process.
You call that "institutional" -- to be against breaking the law?
Please explain to us why you support Trump denying "persons" due process, and how it is legal. Give us citations of the legal foundations for denying what is guaranteed in the Constitution.
This is why I say we are in grave danger. People like you are silent in the face of this criminal act. Silence = complicity.
We've been through this. They all got "due process". They got the illegal immigrant version.
DeleteYou're absolutely wrong on that. But then I forgot you don't believe in following the law. It is no wonder that you are a MAGA Trumper. Trump doesn't believe in following the law either. He's a criminal, as you know.
DeleteThomas Friedman explains what's up with Trump...
ReplyDelete..."what you are seeing from this Trump II administration, and its bended-knee Congress, is a dangerous, undisciplined, intellectually inconsistent farce that we will pay dearly for in the future. Major geoeconomic moves are being made by one man who has done no homework, modeling or stress-testing and has fostered little apparent interagency process, with no congressional oversight or apparent reference to history.
If you think this is not dangerous, just keep in mind that the Trump Organization Inc. over the years filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for six different businesses. There was a reason for that: the operating style and values of its boss."
Banning people from coming, deporting others while Musk want more births and a high number of Fed workers are unemployed. Talks with Putin who said he must have revenge. Revenge is Trump's middle name so it sounds like a good idea (you go Vlad, how about me sending you several thousand birthright criminals - put them in the highly radioactive housing at Chernobyl? And before I forget, a big wonderful hotel in Red Square?)
ReplyDeleteIt all makes sense if you understand that Trump/Heritage Foundation goal is to turn America into Orban's Hungary and an oligarch's paradise like Russia.
DeleteThe delusions of the MAGA architect and cult leader are manifesting continuously and in broad daylight. And, they are tearing down the very fabric of our democratic republic and the very institutions that made us great and set us apart from others. Trump the Felon is destroying it all in support of himself and his wealthy buddies. The oligarchs and fascists are loving it.
ReplyDeleteIt's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.
DeleteBack when Trump was a candidate, he encouraged foreign students to enroll in top US colleges, adding that with green cards they would contribute to US
