This is an ominous sign. Not since the fall of the third Reich has Germany bolstered its military to this extent.

The U.S. (Trump) abandoning Ukraine and standing with countries such as North Korea, Iran, Belarus, and of course Russia, has left a void in Europe and emboldened dictators across the globe to pursue their worst impulses. Do not kid yourself, this is the beginning of WWIII.

While Donald Trump cozies up to authoritarians he has further abused and neglected our oldest allies, praising Putin while insulting Canada and the European Union.

Open your eyes! Russia Russia Russia was a much a hoax as “signalgate”. Trump is a Russian asset, has long been in the side of the Soviets. It is not hard to see, all you have to do is look.

I want to get this straight, because maybe I’m not comprehending this properly.

So, in order to give tax breaks for billionaires and corporations the Trump administration is cutting nearly 1/3 of Medicare funding, $800 billion, making significant cuts to social security insurance, which we all pay into our entire working lives, drastically reducing nutritional assistance both in the U.S. and abroad, firing tens to hundreds of thousands of career civil servants, experts in their fields, and gutting agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,and Federal Aviation Administration?

While at the same time the hundreds of billions spent stripping brown and black people (as well as some Caucasians) of due process and basic human rights, to illegally deport them to a torture prison, not located in their country of origin, leaving a massive labor shortage here at home, leading to the need to weaken child labor laws to make up for that labor gap?

That’s what’s happening? Oh! It is!? Well…. That’s pretty f*cked up, and definitely unamerican, unconstitutional, and illegal. But I guess when you’re a failed businessman, husband, tv personality and president, apparently you can dictate the law how you please!

It not.

Fight back!

[eugenedebs1920]

Not surprising at all. Peter Theil and Elon musk, raised and schooled as racist fascists, with family roots going back to white supremest, Nazi movements before the end of the war.

The dangerous immigrants in this country are not from Latin America, they are from South Africa, Australia, and Germany.

When did we allow people like Rupert Murdoch, Elon musk, Peter Theil, and various other immigrants to dictate policy and economic decisions for the United States of America? These are the immigrants that need deported to a torture prison, not the hard working, brown skinned, folks seeking a better life peacefully, and by the sweat of their brow…

[eugenedebs1920]

The Trump administration is an authoritarian takeover!

Simple as that

Is America great again yet?

We’re now part of the axis of evil, economy is tanking, unemployment is spiking, inflation is rising, civil liberties are being expelled, our influence around the world is diminished, the country is a laughing stock mixed with never before seen corruption. So I just gotta ask.

Is America great again yet.

This self inflicted pain we are currently facing, and the abundance in the forefront that will engulf America is deserved. Despite who you voted for. We allowed this through complacency and capitulation by not holding our elected leaders accountable. Us, and the world will suffer due to it.

This minor example of the USDA unable to deliver basic nutritional assistance to food banks across the country, based in cruelty and elitism, not only will hurt poorer, American families, it is also a substantial economic hit to American farmers who sold this produce to these organizations. Modern society and commerce is a symbiotic system. What affects one affects the other. Hence the word “united” in title held of America.

But hey! Guess they told those libs huh!? Really stuck it to the diverse collective of impoverished, working poor, Americans in red and blue states alike. Really spited the hungry good! 👍

I wholeheartedly apologize to peoples around the globe for the actions of some in my nation. This is the most embarrassing and shameful period of American ongoings in my lifetime. I hate Trump is doing to Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, the EU, its own citizens, and many others is not perpetuated by, nor reflective of all of us. He didn’t even win 50% of the vote and 1/3 of Americans simply didn’t vote (which they might as well have voted for this by not) but this may be done in our name but not due to the majority of Americans. Nonetheless I’m sorry. I realize it took decades to build these friendships and it will take decades to repair them. Yet many of us, particularly myself, are ashamed and extremely sorry.

May the United States endure such dark times.

This is despicable! This is deplorable. This is disgraceful. This is dangerous.

Republicans have, for decades, tried to make a connection between homosexuality, transgenders and sexual assault. When in fact, according to RAINN, 59% of child sexual assault is committed by acquaintances, primarily authority figures and, overwhelmingly white men, people in a position of power.

The next tier of child predators are family members 34% of the victims, while only7% are strangers.

The Catholic Church has had over 11,000 confirmed cases of child sexual assault.

The crimes usually occur in residences of the assailant or in institutions such as churches, schools, daycare, and work facilities.

What these Republican, and 2 Democratic lawmakers in West Virginia have done is open a legal avenue for sexual predators to conduct their horrendous crimes. By allowing people in positions of authority (sound familiar) or places of power to visually check the genitalia of a suspected transgender or nonbinary child, it gives these predators a reason and a place to conduct this abuse.

The consequences of this are exponential! This demonization of the LGBTQ community has endangered the safety of children across America, because you know that once one state passes a bill like this, other red states will follow suit.

[eugenedebs1920]

I would say Republicans should be ashamed of themselves, but it’s become abundantly clear that they have no shame. Their loyalty couldn’t be more apparent. Their allegiance is obvious.

The once admired Grand Ol Party has forsaken this nation in their pursuit of wealth and relevance. They have deceived and betrayed their constituents and even those who risked their lives in defense of our country. They have violated their oath of office, renounced the duty to preserve and protect the Constitution.

To obtain, retain, and consolidate power they have not only sold the United States to the highest bidder, they have sold their souls to finance their securement of their seats.

No longer do the principles, values or standards this nation stands for concern their actions. To benefit the already wealthy individuals and corporations they are willing to turn their backs on veterans. They are willing to take the healthcare away from 30 million working poor, elderly, and middle class Americans. They have condemned the most desperate and impoverished people on the planet to starvation and suffering. Ostracized vulnerable minority sects, already living in fear.

There are some the Republicans will bolster and support. They support enriching tremendously wealthy corporations and CEO’s. They support big banks and oil companies. They support dictators and tyrants.

The veterans who served this country, the civil servants who kept it running, the immigrants who labored in it are expendable, faceless, irrelevant aspects of a world that has no meaning to them.

There are some, manipulated and poisoned by the barrage of lies, the deceptive narrative, the false rhetoric, who have unwittingly followed suit. Sullied against their own countrymen by relentless propaganda, angered by mistruths and malicious accusations, disposed to look upon their fellow Americans as the enemy by forces who seek their votes.

An assault on the Constitution is underway. A battle against the pillars of our democracy is taking place. An attack on the rule of law is in full swing.

The reasoning for this mustn’t be forgotten.

Rather than adapt and accept change in a rapidly evolving world it was decided that a slow degradation of the whole system, and all who reside in it, must occur. To achieve ends that serve the minority, the masses will incur insufferable hardships. They will be doomed to unknowingly become pawns for a small few.

Rather than seek the contributions to the society that created the enormous wealth, the rich would dismantle our nation to hoard more capital.

For our veterans, for our children, for our future, for our freedom, we must stand against this takeover of America. We must stand in defiance of their corruption. We must end the devastation happening around us.

For we are Americans, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave, and we will not surrender.

[eugenedebs1920]

My god is tubberville dumb as a box of rocks! Trigon!? F*ckin trigon?!! You mean triangle? If anyone ever questioned whether they were smart enough to make a difference in this country, just remember Tommy Tuberville is a United States senator.

Also… Cmon Alabama! Are you trying to live up to the stereotypes about you. PICK BETTER REPRESENTATION!!! Jeeze!…

“The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits atrocities but that it attacks the concept of objective truth: it claims to control the past as well as the future”. These are words from George Orwell, words that are devastatingly close to home today.

I refused to give Trump the satisfaction of a view for his joint address last night. I could have, with pinpoint accuracy, receipted much of the absurdity that came from that podium.

I could have told you with unwavering certainty that he would blame Biden for the economic downturn because of his trade war and the lack of stability the markets insist on.

I could have told you without a shadow of a doubt that he would exaggerate, deceive, of simply make up statistics regarding doge and alleged fraud and waste. As of March 1st, Independent analysts of federal contracts when compared to doge’s “wall of receipts” found the total savings from musk and the unvetted, unknown agents of his rummaging around in our personal data and in the treasury to be 2.3 billion dollars. There’s this thing called math that some people use to extract totals from adding or subtracting from other variables in the equation. Perhaps we can turn Trump and doge on to that.

With undeniable conviction I could have told you Trump would claim false numbers in social security “fraud”. The old code in the computing system aside, this one got a little out of hand on the imaginary numbers, a tale as tall as Paul Bunyan, and NOT, a mistruth I had on my bingo card. Trump claimed that there are people as old as 360 receiving social security benefits. I want to repeat that in capital letters. TRUMP CLAIMED PEOPLE AS OLD AS 360 WERE RECEIVING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

Firstly…. Our independence as a nation has not exceeded 250 years yet. Secondly. Social security was part of the new deal and began in 1935. Such absolute nonsense! But how many people checked that number? How many magas do you think are making small talk saying “can you believe that there’s 360 year olds taking our hard earned tax dollars?!” They didn’t check, and they are repeating that flat out lie.

Was anybody else taught the story of George Washington and the cherry tree in grade school? How as a child he absentmindedly chopped this cherry tree down on his parent’s property? When asked if he chopped the tree George would timidly say “I cannot tell a lie” in his admission of doing so? How exponentially far we’ve come.

We’ve come from, “I cannot tell a lie”, to, “I was told there wouldn’t be fact checking!”

There has always been political spin, a bending and flexing of facts to fit the narrative you wish to project, the convenient omission of certain details. Politicians have to carry favor with many opposing constituent views.

What Trump and Republicans have endorsed is something of a new breed on mendacity. In fact, (no pun intended) the approach they have adopted is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

If you repeat a lie enough it eventually gets accepted as truth.

When there is no tether to objective reality, when we exist in a world where facts aren’t relevant. When the truth is discarded for its inconvenience. Freedom and justice can not exist.

It is only in truth which true freedom lies (again, no pun intended) it is only the facts the administer justice. It is only in honesty that we can truly love.

We must not relinquish the factuality of truth. We must not give up on honor. We must not give in to fabrications.

[eugenedebs1920]

I’m not sure why, but I am honestly shocked by the capitulation and subservient nature of the Republican lawmakers.

I do my best to not travel in conspiracy theories, abide with more of an Occam’s razor approach. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So in my mind the weakness and the refusal to even slightly object to some incredibly egregious orders and actions from the new administration was based on their fear of being primaried and losing their seat, or fear of reprisal from their more extreme maga constituents.

My mind wonders into other possibilities though…

If you dive into the rightward swing of the judiciary after the very progressive and open minded liberties ruled upon by the Warren court you begin to spiral down a vortex of Christianity, very wealthy capitalists, right wing indoctrination of Ivy League students, and individuals who perceive democracy as more of a hindrance to their success than a fair system of self governance.

Quick side story. Most people are not aware that the “pro-life” movement was born (pardon the pun) out of the desegregation of schools. Jerry Faldwell was opposed to mandated desegregation, long story short, the government threatened to tax the church if they were unwilling to comply with the Civil Rights Act. Faldwell had very recently stumbled upon what would become the modern day mega church style of reaching an enormous audience and was making money hand over fist. As most people with copious amounts of wealth they opposed contributing to society by paying their fair share in taxes on their revenue. Opposing taxation because you were racist and didn’t want children of color in your classrooms was an unflattering position to stand on. He needed something controversial, something that contained strong opinions on both sides of the argument that wasnt racism. He settled on abortion as the hot button topic in which to levy his protest against complying to desegregation, or having to contribute tax revenue.

Anyway, I digress…

When you look at the current court, the Federalist Society plays a major role in the installation of justices, the bonkers textualist stance, the ideology of the “conservative” justices generally.

I don’t want to, nor do I have time today to go down that great expanse of a rabbit hole regarding the Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, Harlan Crow, Clarence Thomas, etc etc, but I will say they have had an itinerary for the the implementation of the theocratic agenda they desired going on more than 40 years now.

Fortunately for us society is moving away from the mythological explanations of the unknown used to control the masses and quiet dissent from the peasantry for the exploitation of their labor to enrich the ruling class hoarding the majority of societies capital, and into a more scientific explanation with spirituality being a more personal experience.

The conservative platform is not popular. The policies of the right overwhelmingly benefit the incredibly wealthy through the abuse and neglect of the workers. As technology and society progressed, the traditional viewpoints of patriarchy, whites superiority, and the dominance of a ruling class have become less and less popular.

Yet through patience, planning, scheming, and corruption, the religious right has perpetuated a minority rule. The electoral college, the equal representation to disproportionate constituency of the senate, and good ol fashioned cronyism poised the increasingly less relevant political stance to acquire disproportionate power despite the populations copacetic views of it.

What if this is where the 40 plus years of planning has finally come to fruition? What if the conditions were set to make that move to circumvent democracy and self rule to finally implement the authoritarian, kleptocratic, theocracy they sought? Like a cornered animal, dangerous and desperate, pouncing on what they perceive as a threat on the plan they strived so long to achieve.

A useful idiot in the executive. A stacked judiciary of their members. A manufactured division of the citizens. A complacent and feckless legislature. An abundance of wedge issues. A media apparatus existing in a fact free platform of their chosen propaganda. A society unable or unwilling to obtain objective truth.

I’m not confident this is t the case. I can see the dominos in line to topple. The behavior and rhetoric coming from the new administration, mixed with the misinformation sphere of today’s information platforms. The utter disdain created between a two party system against one another.

Some things are too coincidental to be a coincidence. If you don’t read the road signs what are they there for. JD Vance, Steven Miller, Russ Vought, they look, act, and think like commanders from the Handmaids Tale. Their policies fit as well.

Hopefully I’m just paranoid and this is all some crazy conspiracy theory in my head from reading Orwell and watching too many movies and shows.

Although…. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you 

A House hearing Tuesday descended into chaos when Chairman James Comer (R-KY) threatened to have Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) forcibly removed for calling President Donald Trump a “grifter.”

During his speaking time, Frost called Trump the “grifter-in-chief” and accused both him and Elon Musk of using their positions to “enrich themselves to the tune of billions of dollars.”

“So if we wanna look at waste, fraud, and abuse — which I’m down to do — why is there complete silence on the other side of the aisle about looking at the complete grifter that is the President of the United States,” Frost said, “and the richest man on the Earth, which is looking into things like social security and different things like that? Why don’t we investigate the real corruption?”

This piece is part from a cover letter I made last night, part a response I wrote when asked if I had anything else to say. 🤣 i rarely dont! 🤣🤣 Not sure I’m going to get the job after rereading these 🤣🤣🤣 Whatever. Took out some personal information but, otherwise. Thought it was worth sharing though.

A gift was bestowed onto me the day I was born. This same gift was granted to all who were born in this land. Despite its abundance, despite all Americans endued this, its innate worth is invaluable. For the nature of endowment took centuries to materialize. It was spawned through the gravest of sacrifice. Cared for, nursed and incubated in the concept that all are created equal, that all have certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The entirety of my short existence I took solace in this knowledge. Today I wake with uncertainty and dread, with recollections of a dream, rife with tyranny and oppression, riddled with corruption and malice, forlorn visions of division and mistrust, of pain and despair, all commencing as the Constitution is violated, mistreated and shredded. It’s at this moment I become overtaken by the unsettling realization that, it wasn’t a dream. These images tattooed in my thoughts exist due to the betrayal and assault being perpetrated upon the very nation which has blessed me with the innumerable opportunities and boundless freedom I enjoy. A land where flawed men saw past the ignorance of their era and glimpsed ahead to the potential that was possible if approached with the correct values. This thing. This priceless bounty, painstakingly built and so generously handed to all Americans for almost 250 years is wounded, nearly brought to her knees. Blindsided by self serving heretics and short sighted robber barons, misguided ideologues and ungrateful narcissists, molesting and manipulating the very text that graced them the right in which to carry out these misdeeds. These subversives, contorting and twisting something crafted with inherent good, using its simplistic nature as a means to an end for their agenda that contrasts the core principles laid out upon those pages. America is in distress. She is under attack, shielded somewhat with guards instilled by intellectuals, scholars and patriots. The relentless barrage of habitual stress tests has begun to chip away the protections exposing vital elements. Seeing the surreptitious exploitation of that which has been so good to me grieves my soul and pierces my heart. Simultaneously it ignites a passion that has always smoldered, the seditious onslaught perpetrated upon that which holds such reverence to me acts as wind to the embers, transforming what appeared to be dormant coals and invigorating the underlying energy into brilliant light and immense heat.My intentions are honest and pure, with unbridled hope that good conquers evil, that love outshines hate, that there is more kindness than cruelty, that more benignant citizens inhabit this land than bigoted ones.

Growing up on army bases instilled a sense of deep admiration and pride in me for the United States of America. This long shot experiment, fearless in its ambition, far surpassed what many predicted of it. A melting pot of cultures and religions, a kaleidoscope of races and views has given rise to the pinnacle of ideas from all corners of the globe. My personal knowledge of American history is vast yet forever increasing. My understanding of the American political system holds true to the same. When I was of military age I was strongly opposed to the actions taken by the W. Bush administration and declined to have involvement in the illegal and reprehensible conduct being committed. Yet as a proud American in my early 40’s I still harness a want to serve and protect that which I hold dear. I garner a real concern for the assault being carried out on all levels of our democracy. I have no doubt my outgoing yet humble personality, in tandem with my passion for this nation relays authenticity and relatability in my engagement with fellow citizens. The truth is, there’s only one functioning political party in the United States currently, one party that holds the interests of the regular, working class American in regard, and one party dedicated not only to the continuance of this brave endeavor, but to the prosperity of it. Yet somehow we are losing, I dislike saying this but, we are being beaten by the most incompetent, corrupt, self serving figures in modern culture. If we wish to leave future generations with a semblance of the freedom and liberty we enjoyed steps must be taken in its preservation. The Democratic Party’s intent is driven with integrity and respect, focused of fairness and morality, its policies directed for the good of the masses rather than the benefit of the wealthy, but we are not connecting with the general population. The very notion that the Republican Party serves the will of everyday Americans is absurd! They seem to boast and relish their desire to circumvent not only the democratic processes, but laws and ethical standards in general. At a certain point one must stop looking outward to condemn the systemic destruction of our democracy and direct that criticism inward onto the shortcomings of ourselves. There is zero reason we should be in the minority right now. There is zero reason we should be hemorrhaging support from the middle class. There is zero reason for the malice and distrust far too many have for Democrats. Our moment is now. It’s all on the line and the forces that seek to desecrate all that this country stands for are pouring down a hailstorm intended to undo the fundamental principles that so many sacrificed so much to create. I love my country. I am not naive to its checkered past. I believe in America, and the overall goodness of the American people. I believe in the values of the Democratic Party. My mother served this nation in the U.S. Army and later as a civil servant at General Accounting Office. She would regularly take my sister and I camping in the mountains of Colorado. Her demand of her children when enjoying the beautiful grandeur of the Rocky Mountains was, leave it better than how you found it, whether you created the mess or not. We must ask ourselves. Will we leave this country in better shape than how we found it, regardless if we created the mess or not, or will we allow others to defile it and hinder the experience of those who wish to bask in its glory in the future?

[eugenedebs1920]

I’m rarely at a loss for words but… Wow!

You’ll find it hardly shocking to learn that the church this emanates from with the most vigor just happens to be Fox News’ former weekend host turned Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseths (however you spell that douche sexual assailants last name) place of worship.

The “spiritual leader” wacko says when asked about women voting “you wouldn’t let a 5 year old vote” he also says “the suffrage movement was a mistake” and openly calls for the repeal of the 19th amendment.

I was raised by a strong, smart, capable single mother. She handled and carried out responsibilities in her early 20’s that to this day in my early 40’s I have no interest in doing.

I understand you ladies have some beef amongst each other that a man just wouldn’t comprehend but.:. Yall need to have the others backs because this is some Handmaids Tale, psycho, dystopian crazy sh*t… And I think they aren’t kidding!! 😳

Seriously America!? What happened?….

[eugenedebs1920]

I’ve said it before, I’ll probably have to say it again. Who doesn’t want to be fact checked? F*ckin liars! These claims by Elon musk, a South African immigrant and nationalized Canadian citizen, a man who’s wealth was inherited through his father’s exploitation of black South Africans in his jewel mines, not an inventor or engineer, not some genius businessman, potentially the most infamous and successful welfare queen in American history, who made billions on government subsidies for electric vehicles, a trust fund kid, spreading lies to mislead the American people.

It’s an absolute disgrace the way the right abuses our Constitution. They decry this anthem of free speech. Then use that privilege to deceive and lie. They tout the importance of the first amendment. Then molest it in the most inappropriate manner.

This is what I’m talking about when it comes to the Republican Party. They have no regard for what they pretend to hold dear. To them everything is just a means to an end. Honor, integrity, and truth be damned.

If one were to truly respect the first amendment they wouldn’t use it to spread falsities and mistruths. If one were to revere the Constitution they wouldn’t test the very limits of its meaning. If one truly loved their country, they wouldn’t attempt to transform it into something it’s not simply to form it to their agenda.

The most disheartening aspect is that we have become so polarized, so divided, that nearly half the population doesn’t give a damn regarding the manipulation and mistreatment of the documents, laws and norms that have guided this nation for centuries.

People like Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch, Newt Gingrich, led to people like, Donald Trump, Elon musk, and Charlie Kirk, peddling lies or at best half truths. Poisoning American against American in a campaign of deception designed to divide and distract, creating the necessary conditions to enact their oppressive agenda.

Some are just pawns, talking heads in this conspiracy of division, others are the brainchild behind the plot. All betraying the United States in their relentless pursuit of wealth and power.

The vast majority of the American people are the victims in this contorted scheme laid out by those who hold no reverence to the core principles of this nation. Yet we act as the expendable soldiers, essential to its fruition, not realizing that the one way to overcome the barriers that shackle us to an existence of mediocrity and a modern form of indentured servitude lies in our united rising against the forces that bind us.

We will never truly be free, we will never live up to the potential granted to us, we will never know liberty until we understand that we can only obtain these fundamental truths when we relinquish the manufactured rift that separates us.

We were gifted with such possibility, squandered in the ongoing culture wars and animosity built to keep us down.

I don’t mean to be a pessimist but the notion of this unshackled prison break from the interests poised to benefit from our segregation appears nothing more than a pipe dream.

Yet if we could become self aware to the villains purposefully pinning us against one another and find that the similarities we have far outweigh the differences limelighted to make us perceive otherwise, all our lives would be exponentially more fulfilling and easy, and mutually beneficial.

I beg of my fellow Americans. Please comprehend that when hate, anger and malcontent are being promoted, stop and contemplate who seeks to benefit from this spread of animosity. When you are being coaxed to harbor distrust and malice against your American counterpart, who will reap the reward of your calloused, untrustworthy view which you were coerced into seeing. Then step back and reflect, does this media personality truly have mine and my country’s interest in mind? Does this person truly reflect the soul of the nation? Is my American counterpart that ideologically opposed to what I consider to be American values.

If you truly internalize it, and mull it over, the answer is we are more alike than we’re portrayed to be. That we have the same goals, hopes, and aspirations, not only personally, but for our nation as a whole.

We will never know freedom until we end the turmoil that enslaves us.

Let us not forget what this is truly about. Tax cuts for the rich. A tax structure specifically designed to award over 80% of the tax breaks to the top tax bracket, while slightly raising taxes for those making between $60-$80k. Yet hallelujah those with more money than they could ever spend will increase their disproportionate wealth by tens of millions of dollars a year by not contributing to the wellbeing of the American system. As Republicans have so clearly demonstrated, the only people who deserve wealth, are those who already possess it.

There’s some fun math in this article. Math I guess Republicans either believe we’re too stupid, lazy, or distracted to catch. To pass this “budget” they will raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. The tax cuts for the rich that trump and his billionaire cabinet so desperately want to renew will cost $4.5 trillion, once again leaving a MASSIVE deficit to pay.

In trumps first term he added nearly $8 TRILLION to the deficit, exponentially more than any other president in American history, and 25% of the OVERALL, meaning all time total, debt accrued.

“Don’t worry Eugene, doge is on it!”

Well, I wouldn’t get too far ahead of ourselves on that.

As of Friday, February 21st, musk and his dougebags found $7.8 billion in waste/fraud. That may sound like a lot, yet in the full scheme of the budget, it isn’t.

There are roughly 365 million American citizens. Trump is touting this notion that with all the “savings” from musk and the dougebags he will give 20% of the findings back to the American taxpayer.

Let’s do some long division. 7.8 billion divided by 365 million comes out to be 21.73. Now take 20% of that and it’s just over $4 per person. Personally I’d take a functional government over $5. Maybe that’s just me though.

The juice ain’t worth the squeeze with this South African billionaire dismantling and infiltrating all corners of our institutions.

Doge is so incompetent that they boasted finding $8 billion dollars in suspected fraud, only to have that redacted due to a calculation error of THREE DECIMAL POINTS!!!

There’s also claims from the foreigner trying to destroy our democracy of hundreds of thousands of social security beneficiaries receiving checks despite being 150 plus years old. As it turns out, if you did a simple google search this is false. The code for the Social Security Administration is tremendously old but efficient. To ensure non duplicate SS numbers plus the cost and chaos it would create to rewrite the code, the current system was decided to be satisfactory seeing its accuracy and functionality.

Let’s recap. To cut taxes for the rich, there will be the largest cut to Medicare and Medicaid since its inception, estimates are at least $800 billion, hopefully nobody’s grandparents need medical care, funding for the most impoverished people on the planet is eliminated, despite it being less than 1% of the budget, the department of education will be defunded or all together dissolved, nutritional assistance to the struggling American will be DRASTICALLY cut, for some reason the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be annihilated, grants that fund cancer research and other medical breakthroughs will cease, infrastructure projects will come to a halt leaving our roads and bridges in tatters, and millions of career civil servants tasked with everything from ensuring aviation safety, to securing our nuclear arsenal will find themselves without work.

All this so musk, Trump, Thiel, and the 12 other billionaires in trumps cabinet can avoid contributing their fair share to the country they made their fortunes off of.

Trump recently spouted some dumb sh*t, as he often does, while referencing tariffs saying “we were the richest between 1887 to 1920” which, number one, is false, and two, THATS THE PERIOD KNOWN AS THE GUILDED AGE, AN ERA OF IMMENSE WEALTH DISPARITY THAT LED TO THE GOD DAMN GREAT DEPRESSION!!!!!

So what are Republican principles exactly? It’s certainly not law and order, taking into account their almighty leader’s antics and his administrations disdain for the Constitution and the law generally. It’s definitely not family values when you take into consideration all the sexual predators, the infidelity and sexual misconduct. It’s clearly not democracy and freedom with this administration’s stance on Russia removing us from the allies we have been aligned with since WWII, and siding us with Putin and dictatorships around the globe. And as this upcoming “budget” shows us fiscal responsibility is out of the question.

The values the modern Republican Party holds is that of enriching the wealthy by screwing the middle class. They stand for tyranny and oppression. Corruption is a cornerstone to the Republican ideology. Let’s not forget voter suppression. There’s always their tried and “true” platform of blatant lying, their spreading of misinformation and disinformation, so much so that they openly oppose fact checking. Their aversion to the Constitution. Last but not least, their embrace of discrimination.

It sucks that everyone will have to suffer to hopefully enlighten Republican voters on the fact that they care nothing for the working class, that they have zero shame in their hypocrisy and self enrichment. That they only desire power and will engage in any disgraceful tactics to hold on to it. That they hold no reverence to their constituents or to the oath they swear to the Constitution.

May our nation endure this devastating and corrupt period of its existence.
