FATCATS RACISTS & FASCISTS?

Submitted by ub on

Why are the #MAGARepublicans willing to accept treason from a white POTUS but reject healthcare from a black one?

Racist, misogynistic, anti-woman’s rights, sexist, anti-scientific, homophobic, xenophobic, religiously bigoted, sycophant for the gun lobby, #gop #republican party still operates by lying, disinformation, deflection, and corruption., irrepressible… etc.

Nazism has often been distinguished from fascism on account of its murderous and territorially expansionist racism. Certainly, anti-semitism did not feature in early Italian Fascist ideology, which focused more on delineating a new socioeconomic Third Way. However, the fascist quest for economic power was intimately linked to the belief that Italy had the right to rule over a great empire.

Fascism later turned to anti-semitism, partly in an attempt to halt the atrophy of fascist domestic radicalism. In France and Romania, fascists did not seek territorial expansion, but war was seen as endemic in a world in which superior nations ruled over lesser people. Moreover, whilst socioeconomic radicalism was featured in their programs, anti-semitism was never far from the surface in France, whilst in Romania it was pervasive. These cases show that although there were different conceptions of nation, and especially race, among fascists, they were intricately interwoven in both thought and practice.

The corruption of the Coolidge and Hoover administrations crashed the world economy, kicking off the Republican Great Depression in 1929, it took your party decades to rid itself of the stink.

After Nixon extended the Vietnam War to get himself re-elected, unnecessarily killing over 20,000 American soldiers and a million Vietnamese civilians and then got busted for Watergate and the bribes he solicited in the White House, it took you almost a generation to rid yourselves of the stink.

But you’ll never rid yourself of the stink of Donald Trump. At least never in the lifetime of anybody around today. Trump’s stench is a tragic part of American history that will last generations.

The entire world knows the foetor of his whipping up a crowd of thousands to try to assassinate the Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House.

Trump’s minions urinated on the carpets in the hallowed halls of Congress, smeared feces on the walls, damaged priceless paintings from the founding era of our country, and murdered police officers protecting our nation’s Capitol. That stink will never fade, no matter how often his allies try to rewrite history, blur faces, or tell stories about bizarre “deep state” conspiracies.

Did you think Americans would forget the stink of the 30,000+ documented lies he told America and the world while he was president? Or the lies he routinely spouts every time he speaks in public, so frequent now that even Fox “News” has to correct the facts when covering him?

How about the reek of his dictator-like pronouncements that he will destroy the American Civil Service and fill our government with corrupt toadies, then imprison his political enemies and send the military into the streets like Maduro has done in Venezuela and tinpot dictators do all across the world?

Do you believe that we would forget the stink of his sucking up to murderous dictators like Putin, MBS, and Kim? Now that effluvium is being smeared all over Republican politicians, one after another, as they follow Trump’s orders — which he no doubt received from Putin — to abandon Ukraine. You are cowards, all. Covered in your wretched, cowardly, unpatriotic stink.

This is the man who tried to blackmail a democratic ally into manufacturing dirt on his political opponent, withholding aid to Ukraine in the face of Russian attacks. The stink of that crime was so heinous he was impeached for it.

What about the stink Trump created when he referred to mostly-Black nations as “shithole countries” and our veterans who’d died in war as “suckers” and “losers”? When he told General Mark Milley he didn’t want to again share the stage with an injured veteran because such heroes don’t “look good”?

Or when, at the height of the pandemic in April 2020, Trump ordered people back to work and began to ridicule wearing masks, leading to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths (according to his science advisors: the British journal Lancet put the number at around a half-million)?

At that time, most COVID deaths were in Blue states (CT, NY, WA, NJ) and Trump agreed with Jared that they could politically benefit by blaming the deaths on Democratic governors. An “effective political strategy” they called this decision redolent with the stink of mass death.

That same son-in-law, by the way, who Trump helped hustle $2 billion from the Saudis in exchange, apparently, for downplaying the murder of a Washington Post journalist and looking the other way at how they oppress women. Do you think we failed to notice the reek of nepotism and corruption?

Speaking of women, do you believe that the stink of your support of a man credibly accused of rape and sexual assault by over 20 women, including one as young as 13, would just go away? Even after he was found by a court of law to have raped the first woman whose case finally made it through the courts?

As average working Americans struggle to pay their taxes, Trump pushed through an odious $2 trillion tax cut for himself and his billionaire buddies, creating the largest budget deficit by any president in the history of the nation. Do you think America will forget?

Or the stink of his multiple business frauds? He was convicted and forced to pay millions in restitution to victims of his Trump University fraud; they shut down his phony New York charity; now he’s been found by a New York court to have committed bank, tax, and insurance fraud: they’re just trying to figure out how big the stink is so they can quantify it as a fine.

How about the overwhelming stench of tearing babies from their mothers’ arms at the border and then trafficking them into phony “Christian adoption” services that then vanished, leaving over 1000 grieving families still not knowing the whereabouts of their little girls and boys to this day?

Or the stink from the naked campaign lies he blithely told to get votes, promising a new national healthcare system, a revitalization of America’s infrastructure, or his claims that he supported organized labor at the same time his appointees to the Department of Labor were working to block unionization efforts across the nation?

Even worse, this adulterer — who had affairs outside his marriage with every one of his three wives and never went to church but still claimed to be a Christian — told sincerely religious people he was their champion. Not noticing the sulfurous smell that surrounds Trump, many believed him and still do. He was only championing the hypocritical multimillionaire TV preachers who shared their hustle with him: he supported their violations of tax law in exchange for their endorsement from the pulpit.

Then he tried to overthrow an election he knew he lost by 7 million votes, and is today threatening to try it again. The whole world is aghast at the stink of that tinpot dictator effort and terrified that he may succeed the next time.

Germans still struggle with the stink of a leader who referred to his political opponents as “vermin” and promised he was going to “root them out.” Who attacked the press because they told the truth about him. Who played on and amplified people’s fear of “the other.” You will, too, for generations after Trump himself has shuffled off this mortal coil.

Pathetically, you Republican members of Congress have now smeared yourselves with the slime that has surrounded Donald Trump his entire criminal life. Have you noticed how many of your colleagues are fleeing? Do you think you can ever wash off yourself the reek of your association with treason, an attempt to betray and overthrow America, even worse than what Benedict Arnold tried?

Seriously, Republicans, do you not think America can smell what’s going on? Trump bragging that he ended women’s rights to bodily autonomy? His promotion of guns and assault weapons because the racist nutcases who follow him think they’re going to be soldiers in a coming civil war? His refusal to do anything about the climate change that is now killing Americans every day?

America has had a few truly awful presidents. Andrew Jackson's “The Indian Killer.” Andrew Johnson tried to undo Lincoln’s legacy. Warren Harding and Teapot Dome. Richard Nixon’s criminality, Ronald Reagan’s commitment to destroy America’s middle class, and George W. Bush's lying us into two wars as part of his 2004 re-election strategy.

But none stink as bad as this miserable cartoon of a man, with his bizarre orange spray tan, absurd comb-over, and compensatory phallic-length red ties.

America is not going to forget, and many Americans will never forgive.

You will never wash the stink of Donald Trump off yourselves or your party?

Is there any doubt they are working for Russia, and are controlled by Trump who answers to Putin? The Biden impeachment story is a Trump revenge story

Russia has now changed its tactical and operational designation for Avdiivka to 'Active Defence'. After six months of active offense and tens of thousands of deaths, the Russian army has succeeded in destroying as many as 50,000 of its troops. Changing its battlefield intentions to Active Defence is simply a failure. There can be no other interpretation. 

Experts praise special counsel for not playing Trump’s 'stupid reindeer games'

To the military mind, the incompetence of Russian commanders is mind-boggling. If the purpose of the operation in Avdiivka was to prevent an advance on Donesk, then active defense would have been appropriate from the start, as it was on the left bank of the Dnipro, where strong Russian defenses forced Ukraine to burn up men and materiel trying to find a weakness, but Russia has launched attack after attack against long prepared Ukrainian defenses. None of the attacks had a sufficient concentration of forces to take and hold a position; even if Avdiivka had fallen into Russian hands this pyrrhic victory would have had very limited strategic value. 

Experts praise special counsel for not playing Trump’s reign-fear games

Russian leaders genuinely seem to believe that as a nation they can out-suffer Ukrainians by dying in greater numbers. Avdiivka will go down in history, like Bakhmut, as another great Russian disaster. Thousands of dead men, millions of dollars spent, and absolutely nothing to show for their sacrifices.
