Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

So I'm heading to the Utah Arizona border in a few days to hike The Wave. My co worker has a parks pass. The pass always has a picture on it that was taken by park visitor who won a competition the prior year.
Until now.
For 2026 the parks pass will have a picture of trump next to George Washington on it. If the lawsuits pending don't stop it.

He wants NFL football teams to name stadiums after him. He wants to have a special $1 coin with his picture on it (it's against the law for the US mint to put a picture of anyone still living on any currency)

He does WAY too much. He wants to brand everything in the country with his name/brand.
I thought Republicans were supposed to want less government involvement in their lives.

My Rep was the talk of Congress today. I like how he refused to let her deliver her bs in full, but just went full steam ahead with the point he had to make.

I wish they would respond better to her.
For the second person who is in prison for 4 months now, noem says some BS about following laws etc. I wish he would ask what laws she broke to deserve 4 months in prison. Noem might bring up the 2 bad checks 10 years ago. Then I wish he would ask her for other examples of people writing bad checks and getting sentences of 4 months in prison.

Saw a meme today with a picture of Eric trump and Don jr that said "why can Eric and Don jr be more like the Menendez brothers?"

lol
 
Saw this post and thought it was pretty good: trump discovered what every skilled grifter eventually learns: chaos pays better than construction, destruction requires less talent than creation, and grievance proves more profitable than solutions. He's monetized the dark arts, weaponizing rage, packaging paranoia, selling apocalyptic fantasies to the perpetually aggrieved.

This is parasitism elevated to business model: identify society's worst impulses, amplify them for profit, dress nihilism in populist rhetoric. He doesn't build anything; he demolishes for pay. He doesn't solve problems; he exacerbates them for revenue.

trump represents the eternal opportunist who recognizes that tearing down institutions requires no vision, that stoking tribal warfare demands no principles, that profiting from national division needs only shamelessness. He found his niche alright, as carnival barker for American decline, profiteer of our unraveling.

The "dark side" wasn't accidental destination but deliberate choice, because exploiting humanity's basest instincts proves far more lucrative than appealing to its better angels.

This is one of a few major problems with this stuff. They just don't have any teeth. They have a gotcha moment and it feels more like a novelty car horn jump-startle than a real oh-****-she-is-screwed-now moment. The other problem is that nothing comes of this except for some sound bites down the road. I sincerely hope this leads to fracturing of the electorate and a shift in the political winds, because otherwise there was simply no point, it just doesn't go anywhere.

Kash plunged into scandal as FBI frees soldier in Brown shooting

The FBI has not caught a suspect for Saturday's shooting that killed two people, including the vice president of the university's Republican club.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

Kash Patel is at the center of another embarrassing fiasco after the FBI released a person of interest detained over the mass shooting at Brown University.

The FBI had wrongfully detained a 24-year-old Army sniper whose name and photo was leaked to the press by cops, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha admitted on Sunday.

A gunman opened fire during a review session for an introductory economics final exam at around 4pm on Saturday. He killed two students including the 19-year-old vice president of the Ivy League school's Republican club, and injured nine others.

Forty-eight hours later, the FBI is back at square one and Patel is under scrutiny over the botched arrest - which echoes his announcement of a short-lived suspect after Charlie Kirk's assassination in September.

Patel bragged about how the FBI had used its advanced cell phone tracking technology to detain the suspect at a hotel in Rhode Island, posting on X on Sunday.

The soldier allegedly traveled with a firearm from Wisconsin, but just hours after his arrest it was announced he would be freed.

Investigative experts warn that authorities must now start from scratch, reviewing all the evidence again after they were led to the wrong individual.

Patel has earned the nickname 'Keystone Kash' - a reference to the bumbling Keystone Cops of slapstick film fame - because of his pattern of making premature announcements about the FBI's successes.
