Two samples from today:

"Trump Accuses Democrats of Sedition, ‘Punishable by Death,’ Over Message to the Military"

But you should view the whole issue. We are circling the drain.

For those of you who do not read the NYTimes, today's front page is quite amazing. It seems the NYT is finally waking up to the grim reality of this Regime. Every day there are more headlines, finally, describing the fascism, corruption, and destruction.

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 7d

Our president. Each day he becomes more despicable, more dangerous, more destructive to our democracy, our values, our morality, our hope.
Beyond sickening.
"Hosting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump brushed off the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents, saying, “Things happen.”

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 10d

Yup. Think Seimens, BMW, I.G. Farben, steel and coal company Krupp, BMW, and Daimler-Benz (Mercedes-Benz). In 2025 it's the tech bros and their trillions, choosing fascism over morality and democracy.
Will we have our Nuremberg? Will these thugs and corporate billionaires be held accountable?

History tells us that every authoritarian thug--Hitler, Xi, Putin, Un--encourages and depends on neighbor reporting on neighbor, 'friends' ratting out friends.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 14d

Read this piece and think about it. Dems may have done well on Tues but that will only reinforce Trump's goal of control. He will NOT let elections pinch his power. He will NOT sit by idly. Preparing for '26 and '28 the pardons are a one of his greatest weapons.

Pardon the Corruption

Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 17d

Why do authoritarians like Putin, Xi, Hitler, and Trump "purge" generals and admirals from their armed forces leadership? Take a guess. It's called cementing total control. Can't have a coup without the armed forces on your side. Beware and be scared.

as the funds are being raised and managed by the Trust for the National Mall, registered under a section of the tax code for charities including the ability to claim tax deductions and to keep their identities anonymous.
So, the illegal destruction of the WH is a tax deductible for these "donors".

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 22d

The corruption and theft of tax dollars continues. From the NYT:

Trump’s fund-raisers are circulating a pledge form, seeking contributions for the ballroom, which gives donors the option of withholding their identities from public disclosure. Donations could remain anonymous in perpetuity,

David Kaufman @kaufmanmd.bsky.social · 25d

Such a disgusting pig. Plus his endless trips for golf are costing us something like 75million bucks to date.
