"rump World" is not a joke, if it ever really was. That's no longer the term exclusively applied to Donald Trump's orbit by media observers or political opponents. It's now how Trump World describes itself. "
It is a full blown fascist enterprise nothing less; all the boxes are checked. If we as people allow ourselves to be overrun by what is essentially a small clique controlling over a full third of the population it will take years and God knows what bloody trauma to rid ourselves of them.
The mainstream media better wake the fuck up to what's going on. I don't think many people understand just how much danger we are in. Everyone loves to laugh off trumps constant stream of lies but this has been a conscious, sinister, and willful effort to do exactly what happened when combined with the state "news" at fox. To confuse their content consumers to do irrational things. They convinced these people to amass guns, hate their neighbors, and even kill themselves through an apathetic pandemic response, all in the name of fealty.
I dont want to hear from the reps with the most outrageous hateful behavior, I want to hear from the moderate Republicans who sit back and watch all of this, then stamp their names on everything with glowing approval. Having a loose cannon wouldn't be a problem if it was duly rejected, but the conspiratorial actions by moderate Republicans and the blase mainstream media response to this drives the whole party.
Everyone laughs and says “What a dolt!”, to anyone who mentions comparisons to how Hitler came to power. Remember, the government that initially went after Hitler thought he was a done “loser” as well, until the cult following crowd built Hitler up into a “god” that would eventually put the monster in power. Anyone who doesn’t see Trump, certain Congressmen, and others like Bannon and company, along the Trump worshipping media, as an existential threat are fooling themselves. They are pushing to make history repeat itself. Ideally, some of these weak-kneed cowardly Congressional Republicans would wake up and take their stand NOW, to head this off. If they don’t, they may well see their children and grandchildren suffer in the upcoming civil war that will have to take place if the head of the snake of Trump World is not cut off NOW.
Trump Sounds Pretty Panicked About Congress Finding Out Exactly What He Was Up to on January 6
"As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Donald Trump is extremely unhappy about the work being performed by the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol, presumably because he knows that what they find will make him look even worse than he already does, which is saying a lot given he already looks like a guy who tried to overthrow the government because his parents never hugged him as a child. Unfortunately for Trump, Joe Biden thinks it’s actually very important for Congress to have access to the information it has requested concerning the days surrounding the insurrection, and earlier this month rejected his predecessor’s claim of executive privilege over the documents in question. So now, instead of letting the investigation unfold like an innocent person with nothing to hide would, Trump has instead sicced his lawyers on the government."
The virtue of accountability is a myth. Every head honcho of this or that S&P-bullshit company will tell you or has written a book on leadership that spells out how important it is to take responsibility for your actions; learn from your mistakes. Blah. Blah. Blah. But the minute - the very second - those same companies and “leaders” are accused of stiffing workers, cheating consumers or poising the environment all you hear is “wasn’t me.”
Accountability is a pair of handcuffs that rich-ass fucks use to keep less fortunate people in their place. Accountability is the cudgel the elites use to beat life sentences out of people who shoplift. It’s the tightening noose of fines, fees, tickets and bureaucratic red-tape they use to strangle low income families and communities out of institutional wealth. Accountability as a myth is a weapon.
Vanity Fair have run this exact article about every single Trump scandal, as if the populace gives a shit.
If there's actual video of him dressed as the Qanon shaman and beating a police officer to death, 95% of Republicans would still vote for him. They literally didn't care when he said he liked to sexually assault women. They couldn't give a fuck when he told a Gold Star family to go fuck themselves. America needs to stop acting like Trump is the problem, the selfish assholes people voting for him are.
"Republican Rep. Liz Cheney blasted former President Donald Trump's ally Steve Bannon for refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the January 6 riot, saying that his claim of executive privilege is not only invalid, but suggests Trump was "personally involved" in the planning and execution of the events that day."
Donald Trump always places himself as an innocent victim.
If he is so innocent, what is he afraid of?
Why is he so afraid of the truth?
Does Trump have something to hide? For example, the fact that he is the worst president in U.S. history who constantly attacks democracy and promoted the January 6, 2021 coup on Capitol Hill.
Trump's supporters need to open their eyes to the danger Trump poses to America.
It also sounds like the House should refer this over to the FBI to go after all the high level criminals like Trump and Co involved. The FBI Director is a Republican who needs to be fired. I don't understand how one can carryout an interstate massive criminal conspiracy involving thousands of people and the leaders of such organizing not face the full force of FBI charges and investigation (Trump, Banon, etc). Yet BLM protesters who break a car window are facing 7 years from the same FBI.
Why does congress have less power than a lowly common court to investigate crimes? If you were subpoenaed as a witness in a civil trial and simply refused to appear, the judge would make some reasonable attempts to get your appearance. Eventually, they'd issue an arrest warrant for the sheriff to kick down your door, put you in handcuffs, throw you in jail, hold you until the time for witnesses to appear at trial for months and make you take the stand. Seems very odd, sounds like Dems need to update the laws.
Cheney: Bannon's actions suggest Trump was involved in Capitol riot 'planning and execution'
"Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said late Tuesday that former White House strategist Stephen Bannon’s refusal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Capitol riot suggests former President Trump was "personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th.""
After the Joe rogan interview with the guy who did a qanon documentary it’s pretty clear that Rudy at the very least needs a major investigation into his actions and connections with qanon. The dude who probably started qanon is now an advisor for the audit the election Trump thing. How a random dude from a different country becomes a advisor to the president of the US is sketchy af.
Stop and think about what government really is.
Government is a necessary evil and will always be about choosing the least evil policies in order to serve the greatest good.
Voting will always be about choosing between lesser evils. Always.
So don't get too upset that you don't have a utopia menu of people to pick from each election. Pick the people who are most qualified and capable of representing you in government.
Also until we get rid of first past the post you will only ever have two choices but there is hope that some day we will get rid of first past the post and there will be many political parties to choose from.
"Former White House advisor Steve Bannon's refusal to cooperate with the investigation into the January 6 insurrection suggests that he and former President Donald Trump worked together to plan the day's actions, Rep. Liz Cheney said on Tuesday."
His deliberate refusal to comply raises lots of red flags like that's not suspicious at all.
It's a deliberate aesthetic. He is philosophically adverse to what he considers 'modernism' along with its material trappings such as suits and ties. It's a not so subtle way of communicating his anti establishment ideology to those paying attention.
