I'm pretty sure the entire plan is to kill all the old people as quickly as possible so that people with living memories of democracy aren't around to remember, remind, and protest. The immigration thing will rid the survivors of everyone who came to live that dream.

After that, this will be the shithole country Trump claims others are.

Unless, of course, we still have elections, and a foreign press to do the work that our billionaire- owned press will not.

We are now entering 1942, for historical reference.

"We are living through destiny fulfilled." Say again, Stephen? Don't you mean 'prophecy fulfilled'? You know you do. You just can't say it. Because...um, too on the nose?

What's gotten between you and The Big Guy? Because you're going to pretty extreme rhetorical lengths to butter that big old yam back up, and you're doing it in public. Again. Sad.

(Late to the party)

"The moments we’re talking about from last night happened on White House Chief Nazi Stephen Miller’s Twitter account.

...

turn [the Fulvous Fuckwad's] and Stephen Miller’s secret police/Gestapo program"

A question (even though I'm pretty sure I know the answer): are talking about a small, little, rat-faced chicken farmer or a Zelensky kinda Nazi? IMO, Deputy Chief-of-Everything Shitty Miller is both: he may be Jewish like Zelensky, but he's looking to purge the Homeland of all of the Untermenschen like the small, little, rat-faced wannabe chicken farmer that he is. (I sure hope someone tells him that Jews are Untermenschen before he is purged... with maximum prejudice.)

Like I said, I think I know but I want to be sure..

It's only called the "Big Beautiful Bill" because Trump can't spell "Ermächtigungsgesetz."

Doesn’t that psychopath Stephen Miller remember that Mexico was supposed to pay for the wall?

That sicko needs to be behind bars.

There is really only one political party in this country, the Wealth Party; and until we start effectively using the only weapon we have—sheer numbers, and the economic power they represent—we’re not going to overthrow it.

Man, Mr. Hurst, I'm glad I don't have to wade through crap like that for my job.

Thanks for the dirty job someone has to do.

This is going to be very, very bad. The app won't matter when there is a gestapo armored vehicle on every corner. Finding people to do this job will require they go right to the bottom of the barrel but since that's where they're looking anyway, this is not a problem. So, welcome proud boys, welcome 3%, welcome Wes Rolley, c'mon down! No background checks, no pee tests, nothing but a pat on the back and an issuing of uniforms and guns. People are going to die at an alarming rate. And when we fight back, they'll turn the gestapo on us.

One thing that gives me hope at times like this is that the dictators Shitler et al are trying to emulate, from Franco and Mussolini right up to Orban, Putin, Xi, Prince Bonesaw, etc all rule(d) in nations and societies where power has *always* been held at the point of a spear, a sword, or the barrel of a gun; at least for (most) white people in this country, we very much have a rich tradition of not that, and a deep, ingrained aversion to being told what to do, even when we’re told it’s for our own good.

I have the sound off but Johnson is getting a standing O every 5 seconds or so...hoping Trump will say something truly awful and create a sound bite that will be played over and over and not in a good way... My, look at all the White folk on the GOP side....pardon me, White men with a couple of worthless exceptions.

"Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller."

Isn't that the basic plot of The Strain?

What Mr. Miller doesn't realize is that he falls in a particular demographic that will be relentlessly purged by the same gestapo he's creating....and he will be very upset when they come for him.

Happened in the 1940s, too.

I know I'm not alone. I'm certain there are others here being faced with the same unpleasant dilemma. My wife and I run a small business in a small very Red town. So far we have been able to disguise our utter disgust with this administration by simply saying "Oh, we're not that interested in politics, and don't really pay that much attention to what those people in Washington are doing, doesn't concern us much" More and more of late, some of our clients have been pressing us to take some public position. Letting it out that we despise Trump would cause us to lose more than we can afford to lose. It angers us beyond words that these people have been able to instill this level of loyalty in their followers and put us in this awkward position. It's just not right!

It's truly not right. We lost our biz in 2005 after going public as democrats. The politics was a little less insane but we were humiliated and became pariahs in our town. Tread carefully. With today's politics, more than just your business may be at stake.

I'm betting Trump will hold a triumphant incoherent presser right after the vote...and any reporter who asks him a question based in reality will get slammed by that ignorant baby clod.

This 4th of July will be totally ruined. Personally, I don't feel much like celebrating.
