Proud to be 'woke' to injustice and discrimination in society. All this anti-woke crap is just hate masquerading as morality!

The court’s decision in Trump v. United States has created a situation that gives the president supreme authority to execute “official acts” even if they are illegal, but does not hold him responsible for them. It gives absolute immunity to “core constitutional powers” and states that the president’s presumption of immunity for all other official acts can be overcome only if a criminal prosecution presents no “danger of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”
In practical terms, this means that a president may direct the CIA, or a private paramilitary organization similar to Russian mercenary Yevgeniy Prigozhin’s Wagner Group, to engage in illegal activities. A president could also order the director of the CIA not to brief Congress on such activities.

HERE IS WHY YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP (there might be a paywall)
He has violated all The Seven Deadly Sins: (1) vainglory, or pride, (2) greed, or covetousness, (3) lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire, (4) envy, (5) gluttony, (6) wrath, or anger, and (7) sloth. click for complete description)
Another Trump presidency?-Read this!-MAGA is not joking about Project 2025.
Trump is lying about not knowing about it.
One possible upside is that much of it appears too dumb and contradictory to actually accomplish.

Adolf Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf, coined the term “big lie”. He asserted that “the great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” This concept refers to a propaganda technique where a known falsehood is stated and repeated as if it were self-evidently true. The goal is to sway public opinion by treating the lie as unquestionable, rather than critically examining it.
Here are the key points about the big lie:
Here are the key points about the big lie:
- Definition: A big lie involves spreading a falsehood so audacious that it seems unbelievable yet appeals to people’s prejudices. Hitler believed that people would accept such a lie if it aligned with their existing biases.
- Examples: Hitler’s use of antisemitism in Nazi propaganda blamed Jews (Now Immigrants?) for Germany’s problems. Other instances include blaming the ‘bourgeoisie’ for workers’ issues or demonizing political opponents.
- Technique: Repeat the lie consistently until it becomes accepted as truth. Present it in bland, matter-of-fact terms to make it more convincing. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, echoed this idea: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” He emphasized that the state must suppress dissent to maintain the lie’s influence1.

Issues Facing Trump-WTF?

Shocking misunderstandings about the state of the economy.
May 23, 2024-Nearly half of Americans, 49%, believe the stock market is down on the year (it’s up over 25%), and the same proportion say the unemployment rate is at a 50-year high (it’s at a 54-year low), while 55% believe the economy is shrinking (GDP grew 3.4% in 2023 and 1.6% in Q1 2024) and 56% believe we are in a recession (a recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth). |
Flash- The immunity decision gives Trump a license to steal.If he's president he can use the powers of the presidency without fear of criminal prosecution to enrich himself and his family,

Click for long read on inflation Recent News (Click here for many more past MAGA posts) 07.26.24-VILE VANCE-JD Vance is wildly inexperienced and widely loathed. With Joe Biden out of the race, he’s a huge liability. He was a reckless and stupid pick even in an election that was believed to be a blowout, before Kamala came along. He is not only one of the greatest frauds in American politics, he is the most obvious fraud in American politics. As Election Day fast approaches and Harris mounts a forceful challenge, Trump’s regrets will only grow. As for his book: Touted by its many boosters (a number of whom now repent) as an insightful work of sociology, it is in fact a rags-to-riches parable perfectly calibrated to pander to elite ideas about rural whites. In truth Hillbilly Elegy actively discourages readers from trying to understand the people it is ostensibly about. In Vance’s cold narrative, the white working-class voters now flocking to Donald Trump were largely responsible for their own innumerable misfortunes. If Vance, a hillbilly himself, thinks they aren’t worth saving, why should we? (condensed from an article in The New Republic) 07.25.24-THIS GOES ALONG WITH HIM CALLING AMERICANS WHO DIED IN WAR LOSERS AND SUCKERS. While in the White House, Trump suggested that disabled people “should just die,” and in the 1970s, he used the N-word, his nephew Fred C. Trump III claims in a coming memoir. Fred Trump claims, his uncle pulled him aside and said, “maybe those kinds of people should just die,” given “the shape they’re in, all the expenses.” The remark wasn’t a one-off, according to Fred Trump. A couple of years later, when he called his uncle for help because the medical fund that paid for his son’s care was running out of money, Fred Trump claims his uncle said: “I don’t know. He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.” 07.24.24-SHE IS SO BAT-S**T CRAZY-Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was among far-right Republicans who this week called for “proof of life” for Joe Biden after the president dropped out of his 2024 reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to become his replacement. THIS IS A UNITED STATES CONGRESSPERSON!!! 07.23.24-Stuff
07.22.24-Joe, thanks for your years of public service as a Senator, Vice President and President. Kamala, I look forward to your presidency. 07.21.24-TRUMP CANNOT CHANGE FROM THE ANIMAL HE IS-“The discord and division in our society must be healed,” Trump said. “I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America.” If he had kept with that theme, the speech would have been a memorable success. But the new Trump could not keep the old Trump in check. After saying the 2024 election should be about the issues that most affect Americans, Trump decried “crazy Nancy Pelosi” and claimed that the 2020 election was stolen. “They used covid to cheat,” he said. The former president’s advisers had told reporters on Thursday afternoon that Trump would not mention President Biden by name during what they said would be a high-altitude address. Their candidate went off-script — acknowledging in an aside that he was doing so — and asserted that Mr. Biden has done more damage to the country than the 10 worst presidents in U.S. history combined. By contrast, Trump praised Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban and boasted about getting along well with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. (Washington Post) 07.20.24-GET AHEAD A-HOLES-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg knocked Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Friday, comparing his journey to the GOP vice presidential nomination with the path that former Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump’s previous running mate, once took on his way to the vice presidency. “Behind the scenes, apparently, he’s actually calling him Hitler, right?” Buttigieg said, referring to private remarks that Vance made about Trump in 2016. “Five years later, the way he gets ahead is that he’s the greatest guy since sliced bread. And I actually watched this exact same process with somebody else I got to know in my days in the Midwest, which was my former governor, Mike Pence.” Buttigieg — who said people like Vance say whatever they must to “get ahead” — added that the Ohio senator used to be an anti-Trump Republican who described the businessman and reality star as “unfit” to be president. Buttigieg said he saw Pence, meanwhile, “start out as an evangelical Christian who cared about rectitude and family values, and then get on board with a guy who was mixed up with a porn star, make excuses for him so that he could have power.” (Huff Post) 07.19.24-FALSE FACT FIASCO-CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale on Thursday debunked and corrected just some of the false claims made by Trump during his address at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.Trump’s 92-minute speech was “remarkably long” and “remarkably dishonest,” Dale told anchor Jake Tapper. Dale counted “at least 22 false claims from Donald Trump on first listen,” he said. One of the “wildest” was about the state of the world when Trump was in office, said Dale, before explaining why Trump’s claims of global peace were far from the truth. Dale also busted Trump’s spin on crime, inflation, trade with China, gas prices and more. “It just went on and on and on in terms of falsehood just like the speech went on and on and on itself,” he said. Watch Dale’s full analysis here: 07.18.24-LIARS LIE-At the RNC conventiom the speaker’s podium was the rhetorical equivalent of a wrench-opened fire hydrant, as one speaker after another recklessly sprayed lies, fear and demagoguery in every direction. Sen. Ted Cruz’s undiluted rage was particularly dishonest, and because it was Ted Cruz, it was as awkward as it was angry. His clumsy attempt to coax the crowd into a refrain of “every damn day” — a reference to how often he claimed that “teenagers, girls and boys” are raped, murdered and “sold into a life of sex slavery” because of “our open border” — mostly fell flat. But on the whole, immigrants both legal and undocumented commit crimes (violent crimes, in particular) at rates lower — often much lower — than the native-born population. The much-maligned “sanctuary cities” have lower crime rates than other cities. Cities that have been hospitable to migrants seeking asylum have seen less crime than other cities. Crime in most of those cities has dropped since they began receiving migrants from the most recent wave of immigration, including the cities where Republican governors have been shipping migrants. (MSNBC) 07.17.24-VILE VANCE-In the past, J.D. Vance was a never-Trumper, saying that Trump “might be America’s Hitler,” “might be a cynical a**hole,” and is “cultural heroin,” “noxious,” and “reprehensible,” In 2016, Vance warned that Trump threatened to take the white working class to a “very dark place.” In short, Vance once understood that MAGA ideology, at its core, is really, really toxic. But he came around to embrace the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen and to say that if he had been vice president on January 6, 2021, he would have done what former vice president Mike Pence would not: he would have refused to count the certified electoral ballots for President Joe Biden. He says the president can ignore the rulings of our courts. He would capitulate to Russia and sacrifice the freedom of our allies in Ukraine. Vance has repeatedly elevated Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán’s destruction of democracy in favor of a strong leader imposing Christian family structures, ending abortion rights, enforcing anti-LGBTQ+ policies and encouraging attacks on immigrants, and seizing universities. |
