Heard yesterday that the 40 billion trump is gifting his fascist friend in Argentina to bail that country out from its disastrous austerity policies is enough to fund the ACA subsidies for two years. If true, how is that America first? Trump would rather let Americans die? America first, my ass!

Whooping cranes at dusk in Rockport, Texas. Moments of beauty during these times of angst.

I didn’t see any Hamas-loving, illegal criminals who despise America at the No Kings rally today. What I saw was tens of thousands of Americans of all shades & perspectives, exercising their 1st amendment rights in order impede Trump’s and the MAGA cult’s attempt at despotic takeover of America.

Apparently all you need to do to be released from prison or get a pardon is to be MAGA. Trump pardoned January 6th insurrectionists as well as numerous allies like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. Now he has commuted George Santos’ 7 year sentence for fraud. I reckon fraudsters gotta stick together.

Fearless sturmtrupp takes aim at a teen who must be a vicious gang member. Looks like they managed to subdue other evil ones that might be his mom & little brother. Don’t you feel safer now that armed troopers are corralling folks in blue cities? As long as they’re brown people, right? Amirite?

Leni Riefenstahl is smiling in appreciation at all the propaganda shorts being made by ICE Barbie & her green-shirted sturmtruppen, depicting the capture of cooks, maids, berry pickers & roofers as they rid USA of all these dangerous criminals. Meanwhile groceries are high & cost of living soars.

Trump said that “he who saves his country doesn’t violate any laws.” So given his propagandist Leavitt said Democrats are Hamas, criminals and illegals, wouldn’t some delusional MAGA cultist quite possibly engage in violence to eliminate the progressive threat which DJT has called the enemy, scum?

quadexpresso.bsky.social @quadexpresso.bsky.social · 2d

White House propaganda queen Leavitt proclaims that Democratic Party is mostly Hamas, illegal aliens, and criminals. She speaks with the authority of Trump. She speaks for MAGA. And since MAGA is a cult, she speaks for the Republican Party. What are odds MAGA rhetoric leads to more violence soon?

I attended the last No Kings rally. MAGA is saying that I am along with over 7 million other Americans who protested are terrorists. That we hate America because we want to voice our opposition to Trump’s tyranny. These MAGA lies could incite some MAGA cultist to go on a shooting rampage. Be alert!

quadexpresso.bsky.social @quadexpresso.bsky.social · 3d

MAGA. Yesterday Trump told us another example of what that means: using CIA within another country to subvert that country’s sovereignty. Now it’s Venezuela. Like we did in Iran, Chile, Viet Nam, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, & Cuba just to mention just a few. Trump wants war.

A characteristic of a cult is that it tends to have the exact same vocabulary so that the cult’s message is of one voice. One mind hive behind one supreme leader, unflinching, unwavering, in unison. So goes MAGA as they deal with Saturday’s enormous rally against Trump and his despotic rule. Resist!

quadexpresso.bsky.social @quadexpresso.bsky.social · 4d

So Trump bails out Argentina and it’s Trump-like President while stripping Medicaid and food assistance from millions of Americans. Then, Argentina stabs America in the back by usurping American soybean markets. Great strategy Trump! How are US farmers feeling about their vote for Trump? FAFO!!!!

MAGA cult politicians are out in force pre labeling the upcoming No Kings Rally on October 18th as a pro Hamas, hate America rally. But those millions of Americans who attended the last rally and plan to attend this one, the rally is a message to save America. From Trump and his MAGA cult. Resist!

Disturbing language in the 1807 Insurrection Act grants President the power to enlist militia as well as armed forces in the event of an insurrection. Does this vague language mean Trump could deputized a group like the Proud Boys to work in concert with the military and the ever growing ICE? Scary!

A chicken along with a frog lead the “insurrection” against the Trump sturmtruppen. This is the insidious cabal which Noem declares is more diabolical than ISIS, Al Qaeda, MS13, TDA, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Khmer Rouge, Lex Luthor, & Mexican Mafia combined. Trump’s “cure” is much more lethal.

Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, MAGA stooge of the first order, railed against Muslims praying in public. He wonders what gives them the right to worship in such a brazen manner. He blames socialist communists for such an outrage. No, Tommy, the Constitution bestows that right. Read it, bigot!!

Qatar’s “gift” aka bribe of a 400 million dollar plane to Trump is reaping benefits. The Middle East fiefdom that supports the Taliban & funded Al Qaeda has a military base now in Idaho & has a signed mutual defense agreement with America. We now guarantee the safety of a state sponsor of terror.

Great way to confront Trump’s imaginary insurrection in Portland and Chicago. Face his storm troopers with derision and absurdity. The whole world is watching and see Trump and his MAGA movement for what it truly is: the inverse of our better angels.

Trump is going to get what he wants: a violent response to his ICE sturmtruppen invasion of America cities, accosting citizens and immigrant-looking folks on the streets. In a nation of 400 million guns, such an uprising is just a matter of time. Then, Trump imposes Marshall Law and America is done.

Sure looks like SCOTUS is about to sanction conversion therapy to help all those delusional gay folks. What’s next? Reinstating lobotomies. How about sterilization of low IQ folks? Oh wait, that last strategy might deplete Trump’s MAGA cult of his favorite voters. His words. America, this is insane.

Republicans aided by Fox News & other MAGA media outlets blast the big lie that Dems shut down the government to give undocumented immigrants healthcare. The truth is simple: MAGA pols gave tax breaks to oligarchs by taking healthcare from millions of Americans & care less if people die as a result.

Masked militarized police force with loyalty only to their supreme leader: Trump. And MAGA doesn’t want anyone to call their actions Nazi like. But if it whacks like a goose, and goose steps like a goose, it must be a goose…Welcome to authoritarian America.

quadexpresso.bsky.social @quadexpresso.bsky.social · 13d

As Trump ignores the Constitution almost daily, his killing of Venezuelan boaters in the Caribbean is dangerous. Couched in terms of combating drug smuggling gang members, Trump’s actions flaunt international law and US law. Offering scant or zero evidence Trump wants us to accept murder as normal.

Federal law says hospitals have to treat patients in their emergency rooms. For now MAGA politicians want hospitals to refuse to treat noncitizens regardless of their medical emergency. Just let them die. Next you bet they will support refusing care to anyone not insured. Cruelty is the point.

Ballroom for King Trump but no healthcare for millions. Bail out to his despotic Argentinian friend but no food assistance for hungry Americans. Tax breaks for billionaires but farmers can go bankrupt. America did you realize you voted for feudalism? Unless you’re a Musk or Bezos you just a serf.
