Trump's Second Term

The USDA website homepage as of this morning. I worked for DOC for 14 years--never saw anything like this during several shutdowns.
And people are critical of us calling a spade a spade--this is fascist, plain and simple.

Just not the people who need affordable healthcare, or farmers, or poor people who need food stamps, or...
 
Someone said it'd be harder for fascism in the States because the USA has social media, and so it'll be harder for the government to control what people see, hear, and say. Which is probably true, but it's also disheartening how so many Americans are still in a cult and still only hear what they want to hear. No matter what Dump does, the cult will only hear it's the fault of Biden, illegals, and insert-scapegoat-here.

Shameless.

Meanwhile, the corpse of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem "Bland Man" Jeffries can be counted on to speak to a reporter while standing in front of a potted palm and it'll be the plant that gets the questions.

Indeed, they have a point that it's harder for the government to do so. Unfortunately for that point, government wasn't and isn't really the root problem. Even now, government is a secondary problem, at best, and is only at the point where it is through the efforts of those who have been the real problem.

How about not calling everyone who disagrees with you "radical left" or "communist"?

That's the thing about the right-wing: they can dish it out but they can't take it.

Perhaps part of what it comes down to is the right wing dishes out tons of transparent, baseless lies that can only survive when accepted without scrutiny. Their opponents tend to dish out solid truths about them and the truth hurts so much more than baseless lies.


Elsewhere, in Democratic Party messaging, Warren's still doing her part and proving to me that supporting her was well founded. For example -

Let me say it again. Democrats are fighting to roll back the Republican cuts that would take away healthcare from millions of people and raise health insurance premiums for millions more. That is it. That is what we are asking for. We have been asking for months to negotiate over this, and the Republicans have said no. What are they doing right now? Are they making counteroffers? Are they saying, "We could go this far, not this far"? Nope. They are simply saying no.


So now, when a family is forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis, Trump and the Republicans own it. Republicans insist that those healthcare cuts go through. When community hospitals have to shut down, Trump and Republicans own it. When kids with cancer can’t get treatment because potentially lifesaving research grants come to a screeching halt, Trump and Republicans own it. When insurance premiums skyrocket, Trump and Republicans own it.


Healthcare in America was already broken, but Trump and Republicans are making it much, much worse. They ripped away money that covers mamas giving birth and neighbors who need wheelchairs and home health aides, and they handed it over to giant corporations and billionaire CEOs. Democrats believe that no one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor. So Democrats are here to say we are willing to fight for families who need healthcare.

She wrecks it over and over again after you keep cutting the brakes and gaslighting her that it was just her driving?
