The Politics of Hollow Platitudes
Thoughts and prayers have become America’s ritual of surrender; comforting the powerful, silencing accountability, and ensuring the next memorial is already being planned.

Forget Lame duck. Donald Trump is officially a PINO: a President in Name Only. Trump is horribly unpopular plus he has dementia. But this raises questions about who is really running the government. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Trump’s Arithmetic of Make-Believe
This is what happens when slogans outrun spreadsheets; an economy governed by talking points, cheerleaders, and numbers that sound impressive until someone asks to verify them.

NEW: The Trump administration's new National Security Strategy is worse than you may have heard. It turns Trump's racism, corruption, and appeasement into official US policy. For my OUR LAND newsletter, I gave it a read so you don't have to.

Trump signs the release order; but the coming document dump will be a curated truth, engineered delays, and a fight that Congress, the courts, and the public won’t avoid.

"Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our gross national product ... if we should judge America by that -- counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break them. It counts the destruction of our redwoods and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and the cost of a nuclear warhead, and armored cars for police who fight riots in our streets. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs, which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it tells us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans." · Robert Kennedy University of Kansas in 1968 about the need to rethink how we measure success in America #Revolutionaries

“Elon Musk has taken a stunning new public step in his support for the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), publishing a supportive guest opinion piece for the country’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper”

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...
Translated, Musk’s piece said: “The portrayal of the AfD as rightwing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has classified the AfD at the national level as a suspected extremism case since 2021. Shortly after the piece was published online, the editor of the opinion section, Eva Marie Kogel, used the US tech mogul’s own platform to post on X that she had submitted her resignation. “I always enjoyed heading the opinion department at Welt and Wams. Today a text by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. Yesterday I submitted my resignation after printing,” she posted.

As I said on Joy Reid's show a week ago: Elon Musk's support of the far right white supremacist party AFD in Germany is because Musk is trying to create a new white supremacist world order. You can take Musk out of apartheid but you can't take the apartheid out of Musk.

Imagine voting for Trump bc you believed he'd "cut govt spending"

then watching him try to get the debt ceiling raised before he even takes office

and still not realizing how colossally you've been played.

Trump, DECEMBER 28, 2024: "I have always been in favor of the visas... I’ve been a believer in H-1B... It’s a great program"

Trump, MARCH 15, 2016: "I know the H1B very well... We shouldn’t have it. Very, very bad for workers... it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it."
TRUMP: I will. First of all, I think and I know the H1B very well. And it’s something that I frankly use and I shouldn’t be allowed to use it. We shouldn’t have it. Very, very bad for workers. And second of all, I think it’s very important to say, well, I’m a businessman and I have to do what I have to do. When it’s sitting there waiting for you, but it’s very bad. It’s very bad for business in terms of - and it’s very bad for our workers and it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it. Very importantly, the Disney workers endorsed me, as you probably read. And I got a full endorsement because they are the ones that said, and they had a news conference, and they said, he’s the only one that’s going to be able to fix it. Because it is a mess. I think for a period of a year to two years we have to look back and we have to see, just to answer the second part of your question, where we are, where we stand, what’s going on.

Elon Musk endorsed Germany's AfD party and praised their leader Alice Weidel in new op-ed. What Musk left out was that "Weidel’s grandfather Hans Weidel was a prominent Nazi judge, appointed directly by Adolf Hitler, responsible for sentencing opponents of the Third Reich." Musk is a cancer!

Reminder because corporate media wants you to forget: On Jan 6, 2021, Trump as President watched his supporters attack the Capitol and brutally beat up police officers for THREE HOURS but did NOTHING to stop it. Instead as we learned he "gleefully watched the attack on television."

When you read about the tsunami of evidence that Matt Gaetz committed crimes from statutory rape to drug related to obstruction of Congress ask yourself why hasn't he been charged with even one crime? The answer: Merrick Garland and the other GOP prosecutors don't prosecute rich, white Republicans.
