It isn’t “..in the works” so to speak; they are already on it. TikTok/YouTube et all are working the shadow bans and outright closing user accounts. They claim it is to weed out illegal immigrants…I believe the Nazis also had similar claims.
You will be unable, very soon, to get news from the ground; the videos, posts will be pulled. Doesn’t matter where YOU live. Consider the outrageous claims, easily proven fraudulent, regarding Portland, Oregon as a “war zone” requiring the N.G.
Understand that if that demented, diapered, grifter, felon has his way and it seems there is not a testicle to be found in the G.O.P. to oppose him, he will pull the insurrection act and any another bullshit required to ensure there will be no election in 2028. Although looking at him – I don’t think he will make it that far but then, who? JD-I don’t need KY-Vance? Stephen-the Dickhead-Miller? There is no one to bring the G.O.P. up from the depths of the septic tank it is now floating around in, like the turds they are.
U.S. has gone from being a joke for electing Yam-Tits to being the 2nd coming for racist dipshits drooling at the thought of concentration camps and a White America. Project 2025 is a Mein Kampf for knuckle draggers unable to compete on a global level.
Time to get that VPN although it isn’t a guarantee, it may help. The only guarantee if for thinking Americans to get out; the time to stop them has come and gone. No one is swooping in to rescue. The Democrats, with a few exceptions, and they will probably be charges/arrested, let this happen. IT IS TOO LATE. The Neo-Nazis and Corporate America run the show. You are all nothing in their sight. There is no hero on your horizon.
Referencing 1930’s Germany – the usual question is “How could the German people allow this?!”
Well, we can watch “How” in real time. The United States. How does a democracy become a totalitarian state? Look at the U.S.! The current incarnation of the G.O.P. is the Nazi party. My god, their fearless leader believe Kim Joon Un is a great leader: Trump was asked whether Kim might someday visit the White House. Trump said it “could happen, “Hey, he’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. … [Kim] speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
And apparently, they are. Well, the right wingnuts are, at any rate.
In 2022, Trump, at a GOP fundraiser, expressed admiration for how Jong Un’s generals and aides “cowered” when he spoke to them. “Total control,” Trump said of the dictator’s authoritarian model.
And again, that’s what is happening in the U.S. The generals, the aides, the corporate and political power mongers are cowering.
The propaganda machine is in full swing. An internet “influencer” is being elevated to national hero. They’ve freaking given him a day. A misogynist, Xtian nationalist, bigot has been given a day of recognition, but a Senator, her husband and dog, murdered by one of Yam-Tits fans, receives nothing. Children shot down in their schools – nothing…Oops, wrong – that’s right “Thoughts and prayers.”
Television personalities being fired because they aren’t “nice” to the dictator or that “national hero”.
Media stifled. Entertainment corporations bowing and scraping because the $$ is far more important than the integrity of media and freedom of speech (you know, their 1st Amendment).
Armed ICE terrorists grabbing people off the street, from the jobs, from schools. Remind anyone of the Brown Shirts and Gestapo? Sure reminds me but then, I have had the benefit of a good education and none of my relatives were draft dodgers.
That whole Hyundai factory debacle.
Farmers facing potential bankruptcy in the face of the tax on the stupid – tariffs. Imagine not understanding how tariffs work. Mind blowing. Watch and see who buys up those bankrupt farms.
Alligator Alcatraz. People laughing and joking about feeding the ‘gators with the political prisoners housed within those walls.
Yam-Tits himself has, openly, admitted that “Smart people don’t like him.” But his followers, his minions, don’t seem to understand what he is saying…and so, here we are. The United States turning into 1930’s Germany, complete with a Gestapo-like police force.
Canada needs to take the threat to our south, seriously. He and his terrorists are no longer funny. His orange visage and dirty diapers. Look behind his marionette status. He is being used to achieve a total dictatorship where there is no constitution save the one they come up with, replete with concentration and re-education camps.
The inter-webs are not having it. Regular folk are fighting back and calling out racist/misogynist/bigoted morons, in a big way. I am noticing and yes, it makes me happy, to see these people exposed; their profiles published and their names laid bare, along with their disgusting commentaries.
There are a few social media legends who hold these people (?) accountable;
Calling out is not “Doxing”; I don’t believe in doxing, it is dangerous and unethical, however, calling these people out, making them accountable for revolting commentary by sharing their PUBLIC profiles, is not doxing. They wrote these comments, so they must be proud of their views but there is a whole world (literally) who may beg to differ and offer their own opinions.
In all honesty, I never much gave sharing these asshats, (asshats have no gender), any thought and just went on my merry way. This dates back to the BBS days, right through to recently. The hateful comments seem to be more rampant these days, the little brains bolstered by Dementia Don and his Magats.
My mindset has shifted; these trolls and losers at life need to be held accountable. Gone are the days of masked (white sheeted) anonymity. If you run into these remnants of evolutionary ooze and missed ladder rungs, call the suckers out. Let everyone know, exactly, with whom they work, who that neighbour is, as a person. Hate must be called out because when it isn’t, ICE kidnapping, San Salvador concentration camps and Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz happen, they will continue to happen. Call it out, call out the supporters, the “Alpha males”, the Magats and Maple Magats. Justice needs to take a stand and it starts at the grassroots.
I think we are all aware that Dementia Don pulled the whole B2 thing to divert from the disaster he has created in the U.S. The branches of this disgusting manoeuvre is chilling.
T.A.C.O. Trump, the tyrant has already enabled the racists and all other bottom dwellers, to rise up and inflict their rot on every day Americans. This move will embolden them, even further.
Due to the deplorable state of the American education system, much of the U.S. couldn’t find Iran on a map, let alone understand the intricacies of her culture. Identify someone from Iran? Anyone not suffering from melanin deprivation, will become a target of hate (more than usual).
The world has watched the Jan. 6th insurrectionists don ICE uniforms and face masks (the same masks they railed against during the pandemic because CO₂ or some such nonsense) zip tie children, kidnap innocent people off the streets and accuse aboriginal (Native) Americans of being illegal immigrants…such is their level of intelligence. I would harbour a guess and say that their collective I.Q. is 3 and it takes 2 to bark…
It is a dangerous, dangerous time to not sport glow-in-the-dark freckled skin in the United States. Please, dear friends, dear neighbours, be careful. Do not go out alone. Invest in a ring doorbell and use it, do not answer your door, to strangers. I know, most of you have employed these safety methods already but encourage friends, co-workers, neighbours to do the same. Don’t underestimate the racist threats to your families and yourselves. The words, “Sleeper Cells”, “Terrorists” are already appearing in the rags, online and otherwise, of the racist right, don’t dismiss this as just the nutbars – Diaper Don has normalized racism, normalized racist propaganda and will continue to divert the American people from the tanking of the economy, the Billionaire Bonus Bill and the grassroot rise of protests against his regime.
I have the distinct feeling, more than a few of my Canadian and European friends will be denied entry into the U.S. in the near future, as long as that tribe of traitors are in office. Our crimes? Stating our opinions on the Orange Twat and his minions.
The Border Control has the right to go through your cell phones and laptops. If you have a burner phone? They will demand your social media profiles. Never underestimate the power of the brown shirts known as ICE; they are a real threat to anyone who is not melanin challenged. Be safe, travel anywhere but the U.S.
So, no trip to New England for us; I wanted to re-visit a few of the places from childhood vacations, a trip to Boston (a city I have always loved), and a touristy-kitschy visit to Salem, Mass. As we say in Québec, c’est la vie, we will spend our money in Québec. We wanted to up our Bar-B-Q party game this year, anyway.
This is a warning to Canadian and European family and friends; think twice, then think twice again about visiting the U.S. A flag of “Refused Entry” will stick even after that grifting felon abuser is gone. Why risk it? Stay home until he hits Lucifer’s waiting line or is turfed out of office. Lots of gorgeous places in Canada and of course, Europe; spend your money where it won’t be grifted into the Cheeto and his Orange lipped minions pockets.
I understand Tristan’s sentiments and his belief that arrests cannot be made without warrant but it is happening. There will be no recourse in a court of law. No such thing as “Innocent until proven guilty”.
Justice? 1500 violent and treasonous, convicted criminals were just pardoned and are out on the streets, as far as I know, with their right to bear arms, even if they have lost that right – I am not up on U.S. gun laws (Are there any? Really? I don’t think so.) Men and women with, absolutely, no respect for the rule of law, armed and ready to fight for their…whatever he is.
Let us not forget that the man holding the most powerful seat in government is, himself a convicted felon. His nominations for some of the other powerful seats within the American system just defy logical thinking; a man who is an unabashed conspiracy theorist who believes he had or still has a brain worm…Robert F. Kennedy Jr. nominated to be the next secretary of Health and Human Services. Let that one sink in, truly sink in.
Secretary of Defense nominee? Peter Hegseth, accused of being an alcoholic, molesting, wife beater.
“A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.”
There is far more on this guy; see the link below and prepare for outrage and disgust.
I understand that the American school system has been suffering and under fire for decades. And the end result is, generations of citizens who do not understand the absolute danger faced by the country. The rule of law no longer applies unless it benefits the GOP and its allies. Justice is simply 7 letters strung together, at this point.
The disaster that is the United States of America, currently, will only worsen. These people do not discuss. We all saw that on Jan. 6th/2024 and we saw it in Charlotteville, NC…we hear it in the opinions of the Magats (and no, I will not refer to them as Republicans because they are not – they use the label but you can slap gold paint on a turd but it remains a turd.)
I am old enough to remember the civil unrest of the 70’s, seeing it on television, meeting conscientious objectors in my city and other Canadian cities. To this day, I do not understand the reason for all those American kids losing their lives and taking the lives of Vietnamese. (There was none.)
I wish I could see into the future, I wish the future looked positive for the U.S. but it doesn’t. News media, social media have been compromised. The entire world is pointing, laughing and snorting in disgust at how far the U.S. has fallen. The president (not capitalizing – he doesn’t deserve it), is THREATENING allies. Canada, Denmark, Panama – he has his eye on Cuba; he has come out and said, he is looking to expand American territory. So, did Putin and that is not going the way either Putin or his pocket monkey, Trump thought it would. Same goes for Canada. For Denmark. For Panama. Cuba, I’m afraid, will fall victim to expansionism, they simply don’t have the resources to fight, unless China steps in.
Unless there is confrontation, and I’m afraid it would have to be violent as that is the only thing that administration and its flunkies understand, the U.S. is on the way to being Nazi-Germany 2.0 or considering Trumps love affair with Vlad? Perhaps Stalinism American style.
