What's new

Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

It’s like the coup that everyone, with eyes to see and ears to hear, could see coming.
I remember when this was in the news last year:


NEW YORK — The leader of a conservative think tank orchestrating plans for a massive overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts made the comments Tuesday on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, adding that Republicans are “in the process of taking this country back.”

Democrats are “apoplectic right now” because the right is winning, Roberts told former U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, one of the podcast’s guest hosts as Bannon is serving a four-month prison term. “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Roberts’ remarks shed light on how a group that promises to have significant influence over a possible second term for former President Donald Trump is thinking about this moment in American politics. The Heritage Foundation is spearheading Project 2025, a sweeping road map for a new GOP administration that includes plans for dismantling aspects of the federal government and ousting thousands of civil servants in favor of Trump loyalists who will carry out a hard-right agenda without complaint.

Seems to be a mix of this, with retribution added by Trump. Now they are looking at FBI agents assigned to Jan. 6 and classified documents investigations, as if foot soldiers following orders must also face a judgement from Trump.
The issue is if you are setting up a dictatorship you have to remove or destabilize anyone capable of resistance. That's what they are doing.
 
The ****ing look on the **** eating war criminal Netanyahu's face is repulsive, he has bombed and murdered children long enough to get exactly what he wants. A President without any understanding of the conflict, to Trump this is just another land grab real estate deal, which is all ******** too it will never come to anything.
 
We honestly would have been better off if Trump had been reelected in 2020. Smart people are involved in the shenanigans this time around.

To be clear, Musk is NOT one of them.
Haha do you say he’s not one of them because you don’t think what he’s doing is shenanigans? Or do you say that because you don’t think he’s smart because AOC told you “he’s like totally like a total dummy head omg!?”

You’re a dedicated Trump apologist, but if you’re choosing this particular hill to die on for the Donald, it’s a pretty lonely hill to defend. Fetterman must know that….your first instinct is to defend Trump, I get that, but remember he wants no foreign entanglements, and now he’s talking about American troops in Gaza? Think that’s a “in one day” operation? Think Americans want to send troops to Gaza? He’s thinking like a real estate developer, just like his son-in-law Kushner sees Gaza as prime real estate.



  • Trump's plan draws international condemnation
  • Saudi Arabia rejects displacement of Palestinians, demands Palestinian state
  • Russia backs Palestinian state
  • Palestinians fear another 'Nakba' amid Trump's controversial proposal
  • Netanyahu says Trump is thinking with fresh ideas
WASHINGTON/PARIS Feb 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's plan for the U.S. to take over war-torn Gaza and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere has shattered U.S. policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and sparked widespread criticism.
The shock move from Trump, a former New York property developer, was swiftly condemned by international powers, with regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia, which Trump hopes will establish ties with Israel, rejecting the plan outright.

Turkey called the proposal "unacceptable" and France said it risked destabilising the Middle East.
Countries from Russia, China, Germany, Spain, Ireland and the UK said they continued to support the two-state solution that has formed the basis of Washington's policy in the region for decades, which has held that Gaza would be part of a future Palestinian state that includes the occupied West Bank.

Trump, in his first major Middle East policy announcement, said he envisioned building a resort where international communities could live in harmony after over 15 months of Israeli bombardment devastated the tiny coastal enclave and killed more than 47,000 people, by Palestinian tallies.


Wonder if he can do all this “in one day”? I imagine that’s all it will take, and nobody will even fire a shot at an American serviceman….




Of course, the Far Right in Israel is pretty excited, just as Netanyahu seemed to have an expression of bliss on his mug when Donald shared his thoughts….


Israeli ultranationalists excited about Trump's Gaza plan, analyst tells DW​

Trump's suggestion to take over Gaza and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East" is exciting several members of Netanyahu's far right government, an analyst told DW on Wednesday.

Shalom Lipner, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, described Trump's statements as a "surreal performance" and the plan he presented as "very ambitious" but questionable.

However, Lipner suggested that the plan piqued the interest of the Israeli public.

"I think the president did tap into a degree of public sentiment when he talked about the fact that everything has been tried historically, and that over and over again, we're back in the same morass, shall we say, in Gaza," the expert said.

Some prominent Israeli voices have cheered the plan.

Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's far-right finance minister in charge of settlement approval, welcomed the plan.

"The plan presented yesterday [Tuesday] by President Trump is the real answer to October 7," Smotrich said on Telegram, referring to the Hamas-led 2023 attacks on southern Israel, which triggered the Gaza war. "We will now work to definitively bury... the dangerous idea of a Palestinian state."

Former public security minister and far-right politician Itamar Ben Gvir also hailed the plan as the "only solution."

"Encouraging" Palestinians in Gaza to migrate from the enclave was the only correct strategy after the war between Israel and Hamas, Ben Gvir argued, urging Netanyahu to "immediately" adopt Trump's proposal.

Centrist politician Benny Gantz, who is seen as more moderate than Netanyahu, said Trump's suggestion showed "creative, original and intriguing thinking," but argued that it should be examined in tandem with other war goals, such as "prioritizing the return of all hostages."

Remember when Kamala got criticized for everything the Biden administration did while simultaneously was also criticized for not doing anything as vice president and we would tell those idiots that vice presidents don't ever really do anything?

Haven't heard JD Vance name even once since trump took over.

You read and listen to the wrong news as usual.
 

No. At least certainly not if we’re talking about USAID. Myself, I’m thinking of the loss of human life that is taking place as I write….



The impact around the world has been immediate and catastrophic.

No country on earth is more affected by malaria then Uganda. Every single day, the mosquito-borne disease kills 14 children under the age of 5. Because of Trump and Musk’s actions, Uganda’s Malaria Council has suspended insecticide spraying and shipments of bed nets, one of the most effective tools in limiting the spread of the disease, have ended.

Medical supplies to help pregnant women and save babies from dying of diarrhea are no longer reaching villagers in Zambia.

Efforts to eradicate polio and stop an outbreak of the Marburg virus, which is similar to Ebola and has a death rate of up to 90%, have stopped.

Trump has tasked the billionaire Musk – who has falsely accused USAid of being a “criminal” organisation – with scaling down the US government’s lead agency for humanitarian assistance.

The impact on the global aid sector has been profound and immediate. US foreign aid accounts for four out of every $10 spent globally on humanitarian aid.

One former senior USAid official described Musk’s crackdown as an “extinction-level event” for the international humanitarian sector.

The initial repercussions include the abandonment in warehouses of supplies of crucial drugs in Sudan, the site of what is currently the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, as well as in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where recent fighting in the east has further destabilised the fragile region.

Across Africa, hundreds of thousands of children who rely on school meals have been left without sustenance after food was left to rot in the wake of Musk’s declaration that he wanted the US aid agency to “die”.

“Partners on the ground [are saying] that in DRC and Sudan, medical supplies are stuck in warehouses,” said a spokesperson for a leading international aid organisation.

Like many aid workers the Guardian interviewed, the spokesperson requested anonymity, amid claims that officials from the Trump administration have put pressure on those in the humanitarian sector not to speak out. Many were also reluctant to talk on the record over fears of future funding.

In Bangladesh, the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, which coordinates pioneering research into one of the most prolific killers of children, has laid off some of the world’s most respected scientists working on malaria programmes.

In Africa, malaria-control programmes in Uganda have been forced to adopt equally draconian measures with reports that dozens of vital projects for frontline care have been closed.

Farther south in Malawi, where many rely on donor-funded programmes for survival, fears are mounting that the aid freeze could redraw the country’s entire economy.

Within farming communities – the backbone of Malawi’s economy – Mike Dansa, chair of the Nsanje Civil Society Organisation, warned it could upend agricultural aid programmes that support smallholders with improved seeds, irrigation and climate-resilience projects, threatening food security in a country reeling from extreme weather events.

…..Across the Atlantic, similar scenes of chaos were playing out. In Colombia, which has been plagued by six decades of internal conflict and drug-related violence, large numbers of organisations rely on USAid funding.

Programmes providing emergency relief to families fleeing violence between armed groups and encouraging farmers to swap coca – the base ingredient of cocaine – for legal alternatives have ceased operating.

Colombia’s former president and Nobel peace prize laureate, Juan Manuel Santos, told the Guardian: “I have seen the massive benefit these programmes funded by USAid have generated for people across the country. To cut it, suddenly, is going to have a terrible humanitarian effect.”

Elsewhere, the director of a major international aid organisation in Colombia – who also requested anonymity – feared the impact on those who most needed help. “The people who this is going to affect the most are those already without a safety net. Precisely those who are least able to find another source of food, shelter or income,” they said.

Efforts to eradicate polio and stop an outbreak of the Marburg virus, which is similar to Ebola and has a death rate of up to 90%, have stopped.

In Sudan, staffers at a U.S.-supported aid agency faced an impossible choice — “defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die.”

Thankfully, they chose to save the children in their care, but they still may run out of supplies in weeks or face reprisals from the Trump administration.

Across the globe, aid agencies have been forced to lay off staff, turn away the needy and even shut down operations.

Meanwhile, back in Washington, Musk has sent out a host of tweetscalling “USAID a criminal organization,” comparing foreign aid to “money laundering,” and calling USAID employees an “arm of the radical-left globalists.”

For good measure, Trump said the agency was “run by a bunch of radical lunatics.”

So, Political Jazz Fan, to answer the question, no, I’m a lot more upset with the results Musk is allowing to happen, like children starving to death. Guess you could say it’s pretty telling when the richest man on Earth says “we ain’t feeding no starving kids anymore. That’s for suckers”. No, he didn’t say that, explicitly, he’s just promoting death and disease. I’m sure you don’t want to see this happening anymore than I do. You know, “this USAID thing” as one of your posts called it.

trump: Borders must be secure and immigrants must enter a country through the proper legal channels and processes.
Also trump: Hey Jordan and Egypt here are hundreds of thousands of immigrants that you have to take care of.
 
So the Mango Mussolini that MAGAts hailed as for his "isolationist tenancies" now wants to... *checks notes*... restore Team America: World Police by sending troops to Gaza.

So there's that pedestal gone. Does dude have any left or we just making **** up now?

See, but most of those people aren't white, so, you can easily see the problem here right? Why give anything to anyone that isn't Arya....uh....rich? How can they give more money to Musk if they are giving any of it at all to anyone other than Musk. That is the conundrum.

Take over greenland, Canada, Gaza, panama, gulf of mexico. What a dumbass.
