Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

So, we know this is going on, and it’s something one really does not want the government to be up to. I won’t be surprised, if in the future AI will assist in creating a totalitarian state along the model of the Chinese, here in the United States. That’s pretty alarmist, but things like Project 2025 can lead in that direction. Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation stated in July, 2024: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be".

We could end up walking right into a totalitarian society…

Democrats press Palantir about reported creation of IRS ‘mega-database’

The possible creation of a shareable, governmentwide database of Americans’ personal information would be a “surveillance nightmare,” 10 House and Senate Democrats wrote in a letter to the tech company.

A group of Democrats are demanding that Palantir provide Congress with additional information about its contracts with the federal government following reports that the tech company is working with the IRS to create a searchable database of U.S. taxpayers’ records.

In a June 17-dated letter to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, the lawmakers asserted that the company “is enabling and profiting from serious violations of Federal law by the Trump Administration.”

The missive — led by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. — comes after an article published by The New York Times last month said the company’s work with the administration “began as a way to create a single, searchable database for the IRS, but has since expanded” into developing a centralized platform of information on Americans that would be sharable across federal agencies.

“The unprecedented possibility of a searchable, ‘mega-database’ of tax returns and other data that will potentially be shared with or accessed by other federal agencies is a surveillance nightmare that raises a host of legal concerns, not least that it will make it significantly easier for Donald Trump’s Administration to spy on and target his growing list of enemies and other Americans,” the lawmakers wrote.

In addition to Wyden and Ocasio-Cortez, the letter was signed by eight other Democrats in the House and Senate. Wyden is also the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee.

The Democrats claimed that Palantir’s contract with the IRS “blatantly violates the notice, transparency, and procedural requirements of the Privacy Act,” which requires the government to provide public notice about routine uses of Americans’ data, as well as disclose agencies’ policies and procedures around the storage and disposal of collected information.

Palantir’s expanded federal role was reportedly driven by President Donald Trump's March executive order to promote the inter-agency sharing of data. According to The New York Times, Palantir’s database work with the Trump administration was also influenced by the Department of Government Efficiency. Several DOGE members are veterans of Palantir, and several other former employees of the tech company have been installed in key government positions, including as the federal chief information officer.

Sounds bad. But then again, will this AI created Soviet like state have cheap eggs and porn still? It might be worth it if I don’t have to hear Spanish anymore or learn that blacks were once enslaved or see that the gays exist.

I really don’t want our public lands to be sold off to billionaires and the public closed out. But the working class slob spoke loud and clear last fall that billionaires, like Trump, didn’t have enough money.

Where has this kind of talk been? There are so few adults left in the Republican party and even fewer who dare speak out against blatant stupidity if it means crossing Trump.

This is all revealing just how deeply the racism and sexism is rooted in a big chunk of Americans. They want to eliminate the brown people and control the people without penises and they are willing to allow a narcissistic fascist to take absolute control so they don't have to hear Spanish again or see brown people again or put up with that mouthy bitch down the street anymore. Bring America back to the glory days of the 1880's or better the 1830's when white men who held land held all the power and we could just string up any belligerent brown people and beat our wives if our dinner was cold and the robber barons controlled all the money. Yep, those were the days.

Then again, why not just trust Trump? Why shouldn’t we be loyal to him?

He’s a wildly successful billionaire and has won the presidency 3 times!

He must know something! Has he ever led us astray?

Ah.

Okay. So we aren’t going to war with Iran. It’s always two weeks with Trump. Has he revealed his replacement for Obamacare? Or is that still two weeks away?

Lol

A familiar metric: White House says to expect Iran decision within ‘two weeks’

Donald Trump's reliance on a two-week timeline for a decision on Iran represents a striking failure of self-awareness.

Another Project 2025 graduate She is listed as one of Project 2025's instructors, training conservatives on "conservative governance best practices" in a course called "The Art of Professionalism." She has also been featured in promotional videos for Project 2025. I guess it makes her good at word salads.
