From "The Origins of Totalitarianism" by Hannah Arendt. Thanks to Marc Elias

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”

YES!
When they put grandpa out to pasture, Vance will become their new mouthpiece. They are getting the puppet out more. They have him speaking more in the Golden Brothel Office meetings. He is getting camera time.
While PROJECT 2025, is allowed to destroy this country and without accountability!

Usually it is the left that always burnt the flags. The right are the ones who destroy the Democracy and freedoms that the flag stands for.

All true, but Trump is definitely not in charge. He is a gross mouthpiece for the owners of the Heritage Foundation and the director of the OMB, Russell Vought. They write the EOs. They tell Trump what they want him to know about what is in the EOs. The oligarchs are running the show.

Hopefully not. What Trump has done for sure is expose the full direction of Project 2025 and the oligarchs (Financial Royalty) intent to destroy Democracy and the power of "We the People". Can we break their hold on the government? Can we break the power of the 900 billionaires?

Our troops fighting each other is "normal" training. The Navy does this fairly often on the open seas. Our troops harassing civilians is plain weird and not normal.

All the tariffs are in all the Financial Royalty (oligarchs) bank accounts. There is no system in place to send them to the US Treasury.

I never do this and don’t even feel obligated to click the link (shares would be nice!) but our first fur baby needs dental surgery and, I won’t lie, I am climbing the walls with anxiety about it.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

When have politicians, especially Republicans but many Democrats also, ever been concerned about workers, even pilots and air control?

Oh WOW, okay, so my teen gave me permission to share this short animatic/animation she did recently, and I am blown away by how much her skills have leveled up!!! 😍

If you're up for checking it out, it's only a few minutes long and (yes I'm her mom BUT) kind of amazing!

Agree! They have no fear of the consequences since they are convinced they have the power and will not lose their power.
