American politics

[Batspur]

When Hitler first tried to get to power, the German people laughed him off as a joke and he barely got any votes.
But he got to power as Germany was in a poor state, lots of poverty, so he promised to MGGA Make Germany Great Again and lots of everyday Germans thought that sounded just great.
Bit by bit the tone changed and racists came out of the woodwork, at first Jews were allowed to leave and asked to leave and then forced to leave and of course killed. Ditto for Romany Gypsies and many other ethnicities.

Note that at Krystallnacht it wasn't just soldiers smashing Jewish homes and business, it was everyday Germans who rose up and joined in.

Trump is doing the same MAGA thing in USA. Cracking down on freedoms, on the press, on justice, the same playbook. We can all see it. They know it. They know we know it. But it feels like everyone is just watching it happen and accepting it. Who is going to rise up and stop it?

The oxygen of publicity. When he says mad things they should be negated to 1820 on the bulletin.

And trump said this…Its impossible but he said it. Its an OOV. On the BBC NEWS. Out of vision. Or on ITV a ULAY. Which means underlay. The presenter speaks over his words.

Its all flimflam.

The fact the world lost their brick over this so quickly shows we haven’t learned.

HE JUST SAYS STUPID brick TO GET A REACTION.

None of it sticks. He is a trumper.

Loads of UK Trumpisters loving it which I suppose is the point, he is pulling people along with his PR lies.

Ironically if he does happen then the displacement of people would naturally impact on us and those same people would be stamping their feet.

But they'll also be too ignorant to make the connection

I think there's a clue in your username

I'm not sure he'll make it through the term this time. Extreme policies tend to lead to extreme reactions.

Disagree a bit.

He says deliberate stupid brick to stretch the bounds of what is acceptable. Something like this might not fly (although I'm not sure he isn't actually 100% serious in the case of Gaza as a lot of money to be made) but what it does is change the baseline so when he does something else people go 'oh well, it could have been worse'.

He is testing the water and seeing what he can get away with (and when I say he I mean Project 2025, Heritage Foundation and the money behind the throne rather than Trump himself who is only in it for his own vanity and enrichment).

Neither 70 nor 90 hours: Elon Musk says DOGE has 120 hour workweek. Netizens say 'This clown...'

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees work 120 hours in a week, inviting criticism on social media. Musk is claiming that people at the US government department work 17 hours every day, without any weekends to relax. Elon Musk's remark once...

From the drug addict that also runs several companies, tweets nonstop and puts in hundreds of hours gaming.

Clear as day drug issue with Musk ey? Seen people like him erratic in the city and its always a case of drugs. Maybe its heightened by his resting level of mental health too

Trump doesn’t look well to me, his tan looks even more off than normal.

Funny, Scaramucci was saying the same thing on the Rest is Politics US at the end of last week.

 

[Robspur12]

Have to say I hope the Muslim community leaders in Michigan who endorsed Trump and then rallied their communities to vote for him because of Biden's "failures over Gaza", are now understanding how stupid that was. Probably not. These days people don't admit they're wrong.

USAID with some important funding

Peachy didn't highlight the other groups that were being looked at - the socioeconomically poor, the youth, young adults and the black communities.

And just looking at who Peachy is - a real ray of sunshine, a trad wife in the Moms for America hatefest. She calls herself a domestic extremist so that should put her on various watchlists (but won't)

This USAID is unreal, the money they have spunked on utter waste, rubbish and all fully corrupt, would be the same in the UK too no doubt
COVID proved that, all with their noses in the trough

Some amazing funding (if true)

Ironically I have never seen them mentioned on here till recently. Now they are an enemy of Musk they are seemingly an enemy of people who didn't know who they were till two week ago

Politics for the simpletons as always, people crying about USAID whilst continuing to ignore things like Gun Control and real economic issues impacting the poorest classes in the US.

Its a sad world we live in when people are parroting half truths against an organisation thats provided aid relief for the poorest in the world. I mean you can believe in "charity starts a home" but just be honest about it rather than trying to discredit an organisation that provides humanitarian relief to some of the poorest in the world

Musk remembers them well. USAID has a long history of helping people in apartheid South Africa. This is the richest man in the world taking food and medicine from the poorest. He fooled some people for a while but his depravity is on full show now.

Blokes an utter cnut, clearly some are also just hating who he hates without really doing much digging.

The worst. Imagine having all that money and instead of enjoying yourself you get your trills by gloating about taking food from poor people on X.

 

[Gutter Boy]

True. It amazes me that all the high profile politicians and rock stars and CEOs and Musk can appear in public without being shot to death (bar that pharma CEO and the attempt on Trump) when there are hundreds of millions of firearms in the USA. Each mad thing that happens, you would think there are thousands of people that will rise up and try to take revenge, but somehow they don't.

Desperate times when the world's hope is a better Von Stauffenberg

I wouldn't bother trying to impart accuracy or logic.
Marky is too far gone done the Fascist rabbit hole.
