FL Gov DeSantis Threatens To Prosecute TV Stations

Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans prove they’re anti-democratic Fascists attacking Freedom of Speech by threatening legal action against on TV stations that air pro-abortion rights ballot measure ads. The Department of Justice should respond by filing abuse office against Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans for violating First Amendment Rights

 

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeDantis Busted in Extortion Scheme

RADICAL Right Wing Anti-Democratic Fascist Republican Governor DeSantis in Florida isn’t just content with crushing First Amendment speech against American voters to threaten criminals again against pro-choice ads running in Florida, but now his office may have committed extortion and fraud as well. Michael Popok take a look at new filings in a federal case against DeSantis’ administration and threats against his own lawyers to do his illegal bidding.

Florida Republicans PROVE They’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS

 

Florida Republicans PROVE they’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS by introducing a bill to eliminate the Democrat Party, thereby creating ONE PARTY RULE similar to how DICTATOR Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary (more about this in detail below).

INCREDIBLE how Florida Republican Senator Blaise Ingoglia, who introduced the bill to ‘Cancel’ the Democratic party uses the ridiculous excuse of ‘Slavery’ when his party does everything possible to keep minorities from voting (details can be found in videos on this site).

This is another example of how Florida Republicans are ARROGANT and DRUNK with power.

Ken Burns Compares DeSantis Bills to ‘Soviet System’ on CNN: ‘The Way the Nazis Would Build a Potemkin Village’

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

Per the above article: ‘This is what a dictator does’: Nikki Fried blames Gov. DeSantis for Republican proposal to abolish Florida Democratic Party

“Nikki Fried, the newly elected chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, blamed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration for the proposal. “This is what a dictator does,” Fried said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “A dictator goes after those who oppose his policies, those who stand in his way of ultimate power.”

Fried also criticized what she called the “radical Republican Party” for opposing freedom of speech and the freedom to organize. On Wednesday, the Democratic Party called the measure “unserious” and a publicity stunt by Republicans. “The sooner DeSantis and his puppets in the Legislature learn that Florida is a democratic republic and not a banana republic, the better it will be for all Floridians,” the party said in a news release.

 

 

DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”

Florida Republicans Are Trying To BAN The Democratic Party

 

Florida Republican blasted over ‘ridiculous’ bill to obliterate all traces of Democrats

A Florida GOP State Senator has proposed a bill that would officially abolish the state’s Democratic Party, NBC reports.Sen. Blaise Ingoglia filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act,” which according to the Tallahassee Democrat, “never mentions the word Democrat or Democratic, but would decertify any politica…

Per the above article: “Ingoglia suggested in a news release that his bill was designed to get back at Democrats and ‘leftist activists’ who he said had ‘been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,’ including ‘the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings.’

Florida’s Democratic Party responded to the proposed measure in a statement saying, “Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious. Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians.”

Although deemed “unserious” by the Florida Democrats, many Twitter users are unamused by the proposed legislation.

@Longjacket2: “people this is not a test – this is full blow Fascist WTF crazy! ‘Sen. Ingoglia is backing a bill in FL he calls the ‘Ultimate Cancel Act,’ ~ ban any political party that once included slavery in their platforms from running in the state, including the FL Democratic Party.”

@Patriot1690: “Members of the Maga GOP once again showing that if they ever take power again, they would do all they can to destroy democracy.”

@JordanAdams171: “This is downright authoritarian and fascism @GOP”

@JoePalank: “It’s refreshing to be able to say ‘oh, he’s a fascist’ as a statement of fact and not political opinion.”

Tim O’Hara: “This is so ridiculous even for the GOP.”

@TheMermaidAg: “Um Florida… y’all ok? You just wanna go all in on the whole fascism thing for real?”

 

Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ is Christian Nationalism Fascist Propaganda

This ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed. Floridians re-electing DeSantis has helped reinforce his grandiose delusions.

 

DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE FLORIDA THE MOST OPPRESSED, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC STATE

  • Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
  • Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
  • Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
  • Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
  • Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
  • Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
  • DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
  • Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
  • Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
  • DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
  • Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
  • Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
  • Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
  • Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
  • Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
  • Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
  • Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
  • Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
  • Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
  • Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
  • Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
  • Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
  • DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
  • Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
  • Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
  • DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

 

Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws

Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.

Per the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.

It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.

Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”

Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –

  • Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
  • Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
  • This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
  • Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
  • The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
  • This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
  • Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).

This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.

Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.

Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.

“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.

 

Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional

Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.

Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.

“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.

“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.

“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”

 

Florida to CREATE REGISTRY of Bloggers Who Criticize Ron DeSantis!

Jesse talks about an insanely fascistic bill being proposed in Florida, requiring bloggers (who criticize the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature) to register with the government. This is a clear and flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment and a dangerous departure from liberal democracy!

 

Florida Moves One Step Closer to Full Fascism

Florida Republican Jason Brodeur wants any blogger who write about Ron DeSantis to register with the state.

 

Florida Republicans Get Closer To Making It ILLEGAL To Criticize Ron DeSantis

A Republican lawmaker in Florida has introduced legislation that would require any “blogger” that publishes a story about Governor DeSantis or any member of his administration or the state legislature to register with the state. The writer would have to file monthly reports of what they wrote, who published it, and who paid them. This is a step in the direction of making it illegal to criticize the state’s government, as Farron Cousins explains.

 

RED ALERT: Florida Republicans want to force bloggers to “register” with the state

 

DeSantis’ Putin tactics with crackdown on media

A controversial new proposal in Ron DeSantis’s Florida would require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other state government officials to register with the state and disclose who’s paying them and how much. Critics say it’s all part of a larger DeSantis crusade against free speech and the press and even comparing it to a Putin law.

 

 

Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State

Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.

Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them.

 

Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.

Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.

 

Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics

A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.

Florida Republicans PUNISH Disney for Exercising 1st Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing Florida Republican’s “Don’t say Gay” law

When Disney’s chief executive Bob Chapek exercised his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing the “Don’t say Gay” law, DeSantis and Florida Republicans RETALIATED by revoking Disney World’s designation as a special tax district which allowed Disney to self-govern the 25,000-acre resort since its founding. Using the Government to Punish people who speaks out against Government policies is Anti-Democratic, Authoritarian FASCISM

 

A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status

Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives.

Republicans “Don’t say Gay” law is ‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’ which doesn’t exist. It’s more Republican Authoritarian, Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT legislation to enslave and regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism

 

Videos show how Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED. Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).

How To Dismantle A Democracy

If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi.

Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

 

REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

 

Republicans ARE America’s TALIBAN

Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).

 

Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans, The Taliban and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;

  1. Bullies
  2. Religious extremists (such as Christian Evangelists)
  3. Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
  4. Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
  5. Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
  6. Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

DeSantis Helps Florida Insurance Companies Cheat Homeowners

Video exposes how Insurance Companies changed damage reports and offered a fraction of what was needed for repairs, while REPUBLICAN Ron DeSantis made it hard to sue them. This is just another exmample of how Republicans are corporate boot-lickers who are for the RICH and don’t give a damn about average Joe Americans

 

 

Insurers gave Ron DeSantis millions. He made it harder to sue them.

The Florida governor’s insurance overhaul is hurting homeowners-and possibly his presidential campaign.

Insurers Gave Ron DeSantis Millions. He Made It Harder to Sue Them.

Per the above article; “Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis enacted a slate of insurance law changes. The sweeping revisions makes it more difficult for homeowners to sue their property insurance companies for acting in “bad faith” and removes the right of homeowners to recover attorney’s fees, even in lawsuits they ultimately win. Additionally, the adjustments to Florida’s insurance laws allow insurance companies to create new policies with mandatory binding arbitration agreements in exchange for a premium reduction, which will also thwart many homeowners’ option to take insurers to court’.

Slide Insurance is Getting Sweetheart Deals from Florida Regulators-And Using Its Power to Harm Consumers · Consumer Federation of America

Florida’s insurance market has been troubled for quite some time. Premiums are skyrocketing, insurers have gone bankrupt left and right, and consumers are struggling. But one insurance company in particular, Slide Insurance, is getting sweetheart deals from Florida regulators-and consumers are paying the price. This is unacceptable, and Florida consumers deserve better.

Per the above article: “Slide Insurance, founded in 2021 by its current CEO Bruce Lucas, has received a considerable number of takeouts. The Washington Post reported that “insurance officials have awarded him [Lucas] the opportunity to take over far more policies than any other company, data shows — either directly from Citizens or from other insurers that have gone under or pulled out of the state.” All in all, Florida has granted Slide the chance to pick up over half a million policyholders, far more than any other company.

This is evidence of a very cozy, and possibly improper, relationship. And before Lucas founded Slide Insurance, he worked for another company called Heritage. In 2013 he closed a takeout deal with Citizens, where Heritage got 60,000 policies and Citizens agreed to pay the company up to $52 million in retroactive premiums. Legislators attacked the deal, calling it corporate welfare, and other insurance companies complained that it was unfair. It later emerged that Lucas’s lobbyists met with then Governor Rick Scott before the takeout went public, that Heritage donated to Scott’s campaign, and that the Citizens board member who broke the tie vote in favor of the transaction was appointed by Scott.

More recently, Slide has been accused of getting still more sweetheart deals from the Florida government. For example, Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation helped broker a $400 million deal where Slide took over a bankrupt insurance company. Slide and Lucas benefited handsomely but many policyholders did not. Instead, Slide denied their legitimate claims, made them jump through hoops and fill out excessive paperwork, and gave them inadequate payouts. And it has increased premiums for lots of consumers, sometimes by 500% or more.

Consumer Federation of America has previously written about insurance companies and their exploitation of consumers, and urged the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation to investigate and punish alleged wrongdoing. We have also criticized the Office for being cozy with the insurance industry and often being part of the revolving door, where insurance regulators go to work for the insurance industry or regulators come from the insurance industry. But if the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation is making unfair and biased deals with Slide Insurance at the expense of consumers, the fox is guarding the henhouse”.

Doctor Helped 10 Yr/old Rape Victim Persecuted by Republicans

Doctor who helped a 10 yr/old Rape Victim get an abortion was Persecuted, Prosecuted and Harassed by Radical Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, as described in the above video

Just three days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, an Indiana doctor got a call about a 10 year old girl from Ohio who had been raped and was pregnant. The pregnancy was three days past the six week deadline for abortion in Ohio, so the Indiana doctor agreed to help the girl. The Indiana attorney general fought to suspend her medical license and sued her hospital. The suit has just been dropped. Dr. Bernard joins Chris Hayes to discuss the current state of reproductive rights in the country.

 

Indiana attorney general drops lawsuit over privacy of Ohio 10-year-old who traveled for abortion

Indiana’s attorney general has dropped a lawsuit accusing the state’s largest hospital system of violating patient privacy laws when a doctor told a newspaper that a 10-year-old Ohio girl had traveled to Indiana for an abortion.

Per the above article: Indiana attorney general drops lawsuit over privacy of Ohio 10-year-old who traveled for abortion

Indiana’s attorney general has dropped a lawsuit that accused the state’s largest hospital system of violating patient privacy laws when a doctor told a newspaper that a 10-year-old Ohio girl had traveled to Indiana for an abortion.

A federal judge last week approved Attorney General Todd Rokita’s request to dismiss his lawsuit, which the Republican had filed last year against Indiana University Health and IU Healthcare Associates, The Indianapolis Star reported.

The suit accused the hospital system of violating HIPAA, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and a state law, for not protecting patient information in the case of a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to Indiana to receive abortion drugs.

Dr. Caitlin Bernard ‘s attorneys later that she shared no personally identifiable information about the girl, and no such details were reported in the Star’s story on July 1, 2022, but it became a flashpoint in the abortion debate days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade that June.

A federal judge in Indianapolis initially granted IU Health’s motion to dismiss the case in June, prompting Rokita to file an amended complaint in July. His office then sought the case’s dismissal last week, writing that the state’s initial complaints have been satisfied by actions IU Health has taken since The Star first reported on the girl’s case.

Per the Washington Post; “Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash”.

Trump Admits Elections Will Be Rigged for Republicans if he Wins in 2024

Trump Admits at a rally speech that Elections will be Rigged so he and Republicans will always win and can’t be voted out if he’s elected President in 2024. This is the playbook Victor Orbán & his Radical Right Wing Party used which eliminated Democracy in Hungary

 

Trump Says If He’s Elected, The American People Will Never Vote Again.

As Huffpost just reported, “Trump Tells Crowd, ‘You Won’t Have To Vote’ Again After Election in Bizarre Remarks.” However, there is nothing “bizarre” about these comments. Trump has ben signaling – consistently, expressly and repeatedly – that he intends to be a “dictator,” as he said, “on day one.”

This video discusses why we MUST take Trump at his word when he says Americans will not vote again if they vote him into office this November. We have to stop labeling Trump’s pledges to end our democracy as “strange,” “bizarre,” and “unclear.” Trump is telling us exactly what he intends to do. If we fail to vote against him on November 5, we are sleepwalking toward the end of our republic.

 

Video show how Autocrat Victor Orbán & his Radical Right Wing Party eliminated Democracy in Hungary by taking over the Government and turned it into a authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere. This is what Trump and Republicans want to do to the United States.

If Trump wins the 2024 election, our Democracy and Freedom will be destroyed, due to Republican’s Project 2025 plans to turn the Presidency into a Presidential Dictatorship.

Trump has promised retribution by having opponents and critics ‘arrested’, ‘locked up’ & ‘executed’ and media outlets critical of him, shut down. It will be the end of Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, the Rule of Law, the Constitution and the United States.

Listen to Republicans admit they want to end Democracy. They plan to turn the United States into a Fascist Dictatorship where criticizing Trump could get you imprisoned or executed as an ‘enemy of the state / country’. The Radical Right Wing dominated “Supreme Court” ruled in Trump favor giving him “Absolute Immunity” so he can’t be held accountable for lawless actions as long as those action can be rationalized as part of his “Presidential Duties”. Therefore, criticizing Trump could be rationalized as a ‘threat to the republic’. This is how citizens in North Korea and Russia are dealt with.

Why Republicans Don’t Want A Democracy

 

Republicans have declared WAR on the Truth and Democracy

 

American Democracy has been on a steady decline. For years, we’ve been trying to make sense of it. How can one party seem to be so opposed to the single principle on which this nation was built. Here’s one school of thought: maybe it’s not that the far-right wants to tear democracy down. Maybe, they never believed in its existence in the first place. For decades, there’s been a misguided philosophy that America is not a democracy, but rather, a Republic.

 

Representative Gerry Connolly explains how Trump and his cronies intend to “terminate rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution”, invoke the “Insurrection Act”, declare “Martial Law” to Quash Protests and replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists.

 

Trump cronies like Steve Bannon has promised to use “Shock Troops” to take over the government shown in the above video.

 

Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity

Trump believes he should have Presidential Immunity to do anything he wants. On Jan. 9, 2024, Trump’s legal team argued to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that a President should be able to order SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent and be immune to criminal prosecution. On July 1, 2024, the Radical Right Wing dominated Supreme Court agreed and gave Trump the authority of a Dictator by granting him “Absolute Immunity”. He’s promised to ‘root out’ those who he thinks are ‘communists, marxists and ‘the radical left’. This means anyone who opposes him.

Trump’s statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution, Citizens rights, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down media outlets which have been critical of him. Trump has proven to be a lawless pathological liar, narcissistic psychopath and a clear & present danger which the RNC is recklessly unleashing onto the American public by enabling, sponsoring and promoting on they’re ticket.

“Democracy is hard work and they want a shortcut to achieve their craven policy ends without doing the work,” Rick Wilson told Newsweek.

Per the above article: “Some on the far-right, including within the Republican Party, are seeking to “replace democracy” with a system that “they alone benefit from,” according to a leading anti-Trump conservative.

Rick Wilson, a former GOP media consultant who co-founded The Lincoln Project, a conservative campaign group opposed to Donald Trump, told Newsweek when asked why some conservatives have been sympathetic towards Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.

They want to put the control of all the people in the hands of a government that reflects their own ideological bias. It’s easy to see why they would want to replace democracy with a system that allows that they alone benefit from.”

 

Trump’s new autocratic plan exposed? Alarms over ‘radical second term’ plots

In a new report, The Associated Press details Donald Trump’s repeated “hints” of an “expanded role” for the military and the lack of “guardrails” to restrain him.

 

If a Republican wins the Presidential election in 2024, they’re planning to implement “Project 2025” which would give their leader the power of a Dictator.

As stated by wikipedia; “Project 2025 seeks to place the entire Executive Branch of the U.S. federal government under direct presidential control, eliminating the independence of the Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission and other agencies. To reshape the Executive Branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 United States presidential election. Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit thousands to come to Washington, D.C., to replace existing employees to restructure the Executive Branch of the federal government as to further the agenda and policies of Donald Trump. The plan would perform a quick takeover of the entire U.S. federal government under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory – a theory proposing the president of the United States have absolute power of the executive branch – upon inauguration”.

“The development of the plan is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative U.S. think tank. It includes widespread changes across the entire government, particularly with regard to economic policy and the role of the federal government and federal agencies”. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025]

 

Trump is a Wanna-be Dictator who plans to become a Dictator if Elected in 2024.

Trump’s insane statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights on DAY ONE. His claiming he’s only going to be a Dictator for ONE DAY is BULLSHIT. Let’s not forget how Fact Checkers found Trump LIED over 30,000 times while President, so he has no credibility. He did everything possible to stay in office after he lost in 2020. If he gets back in the White House in 2024, he isn’t leaving… he’s made it clear; he wants to be a DICTATOR FOR LIFE. Under Trump’s rule, the United States could become like Russia where dissenters are arrested, locked up and executed.

 

How Wannabe Dictators become REAL Dictators

 

In an interview with Andy Borowitz from The New Yorker on May 9, 2018, Trump Stated about the United States Constitution; “I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess. We need to tear it up and start over. The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches. He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go. No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution. Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”

Trump behaves like an out-of-control Mob Boss Thug Bully, posting lies and incendiary comments against opponents, inciting death threats against Prosecutors, Judges, their staff, families, election workers and others.

Trump lies constantly about President Biden, claiming he’s responsible for having Trump prosecuted, when Trump only has himself to blame for engaging in criminal conduct which he’s now being held accountable for. Trump hates Biden with a passion because Biden beat Trump fair & square in the 2020 election, which experts say was the most secure election in history. Trump claimed the election was “Stolen” because he refused to admit defeat. Trump ALWAYS claims things are “rigged” and “stolen” if he loses.

Their leader hints at violence against enemies. The GOP continues to bow down | Opinion

Donald Trump suggested General Mark Milley be executed for call with China after Jan. 6. Candidates like Florida’s Ron DeSantis take rhetoric to new levels.

Per the above article: Trump has shown his authoritarian mentality from the moment he entered the 2016 presidential elections. Back then, Americans brushed off as hyperbole comments like his offer to pay the legal fees of supporters who knocked “the crap out of” protesters at one of his rallies. It was, thanks to Trump, that for the first time in American history, rioters stormed a democratic institution — the U.S. Capitol — to stop the certification of an election.

There are no lessons learned. Trump leads national and state Republican presidential primary polls, and his rhetoric has gone from off-the-cuff remarks to straight-up violent. He’s suggested a military general he appointed to the Joint Chiefs of Staff should have been executed. Trump wrote on his social media website Truth Social that Gen. Mark Milley’s phone call, done in coordination with Trump’s defense secretary, to China after Jan. 6 was “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”

Trump also posted a photo on Truth Social of a law clerk who works for the New York judge presiding over his civil fraud trial, an invitation for violence against the judiciary. That prompted the judge to issue a gag order barring Trump from speaking publicly about his staff. Trump told Republicans in California that shoplifters should be shot, raising the obvious comparison with a strongman Trump personally praised: Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, whose war on drugs embraced extrajudicial killings of thousands of suspects without a trial. Trump has also vowed to investigate media outlets he sees as enemies, showing his disregard for the Constitution and freedom of press. He’s called on Republicans to shutdown the federal government to stall the criminal cases against him and urged the House to impeach President Joe Biden because the “lowlifes Impeached me TWICE.”

As have authoritarians before him, Trump sees the state’s machinery as a mere conduit to his own interests and retribution, which he masks under the guise of making America great again or draining the swamp. The problem isn’t just that Americans have become numb to his remarks. Many see violence and the eroding of the institutions that keep a democracy strong as justified means to achieve the greatness that the former president sells them. It’s become part of the GOP platform to defund federal agencies like the FBI, which also investigates local crimes that Republicans themselves promise to curtail if they return to the White House.

Few conservatives seem bothered when Trump vows to use the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate his political rivals If Trump is a symptom of our polarized times, he’s made the annihilation of one’s opponents a righteous cause. A pastor’s opening prayers at an Iowa Trump rally over the weekend said, “We ask that those who stand against [Trump] be put to silence.” If reelected, could Trump incite another Jan. 6, or something worse? That’s a possibility that few of his rivals in the presidential primary publicly contemplate. Instead, many of them escalate

Trump’s violent rhetoric. If the former president considered bombing drug labs in Mexico, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he wants to send military troops into the country to fight drug cartels. That would be the type of foreign intervention that Republicans themselves say prevents the country from putting “America First.” DeSantis also vowed to “start slitting throats” of federal bureaucrats. Republicans who call out Trump’s threat to democracy are losing ground in their party. That’s dangerous because an emboldened Trump back in the White House, seeking revenge for his perceived victimization, could do more damage than he did in his first go-round.

 

The Dangerous Behavior of Donald Trump

Experts in this film discuss Trump’s most alarming traits.He has partnered with leading mental health professionals to answer one question: Is Donald Trump psychologically fit to be president?

The experts in the film will discuss Trump’s most alarming traits:
• Pervasive pattern of grandiosity
• Inflated sense of accomplishment
• Excessive need for admiration
• Boastfulness
• Hypersensitivity to criticism
• Deceit
• Manipulation
• Lying
• Aggression
• Irresponsibility
• Impulsivity
• Lack of remorse when hurting others
• Holds fixed beliefs that are verifiably false
• Not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence

He exhibits every one of these traits. Experts show an individual who a hair-trigger temper and an inability to protect America. Trump feels perpetually under siege and unmoored by moral obligations. He plays to his base and continually shows his willingness to put others in danger for even the smallest of reasons.

5 deaths were attributed to his inciting violence to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021.

Tree of Life massacre in which 11 people were killed, inspired by Trump: Before he opened fire in a mass shooting that killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, witnesses say the gunman shouted, “All Jews must die.” But the particular moment he (allegedly) chose for his massacre, and the place he chose to do it, show that what radicalized the assailant to the point of violence was a specific manifestation of anti-Semitism: blaming Jews in America for bringing in an invasion of nonwhite immigrants who would slaughter the white race.

How anti-Semites found a way to blame the migrant caravan on the Jews; President Trump and the conservative media ecosystem elevated a caravan of a few thousand Central Americans into the chief existential threat facing America in the runup to the 2018 midterm elections.

Trump posts disturbing baseball bat photo with Alvin Bragg, threatens ‘death and destruction’

Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by sharing images of him holding a baseball bat next Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head.

March 24, 2023: Trump threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged in New York — writing the shocking social media warning after posting an image of himself holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head. Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat — with Bragg’s hands up — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over a “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” & “If you f— around with us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before & threatening “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged for his crimes in New York.

This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave and is more PROOF that Trump IS the Most Lawless, Corrupt & Dangerous President in History

 

Trump Threatens NY DA Alvin Bragg in violation of NY state law

Former President Donald Trump threatened New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as Bragg investigates and prepares to indict Trump for his earlier New York crimes. Specifically, Trump indicates there will be “death and destruction” if Bragg indicts hims. Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture., who

This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: “a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . ”

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.

Per an article posted at cnn.com/2019/08/14/us/montana-national-anthem-assault-plea/index.html

“Lance Jasper, Brockway’s attorney, said Brockway is influenced by the rhetoric of President Donald Trump. Referring to times the President has spoken out against athletes and others that kneel or protest during the National Anthem and when he suggested possible jail time or loss of citizenship for burning the American flag, Jasper said, “Curt takes that literally and views the President as the commander in chief and when he sees it happening, he feels he needs to do something about it.”

 

Description from MSNBC / YouTube: “Lawrence remembers the victims of the Tree of Life massacre, and explains why “the invasion of a synagogue by a mass murderer on Saturday was a reaction to the lies that Donald Trump, Fox News and Republicans have been telling.”

 

According to news reports, the El Paso shooter drove more than 10 hours to a Walmart in El Paso reportedly intending to kill Latinx people and immigrants. Minutes before he shot dozens of people, a racist, xenophobic manifesto appeared on the 8chan online forum, warning readers of a “Hispanic invasion” of Texas.

Trump used the term border invasion at least 21 times in public speeches & remarks in an eight-month period, therefore IMO, he’s responsible inciting & instigating the shooting.

https://themessenger.com/politics/vance-plans-to-hold-up-bidens-justice-department-nominees

Per the above article: “J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) announced Tuesday he will place a hold on President Joe Biden’s nominees to the Justice Department as revenge for former President Donald Trump’s indictment.

“Donald Trump is merely the latest victim of a Department of Justice that cares more about politics than law enforcement,” Vance said in a statement. “Starting today, I will hold all Department of Justice nominations. If Merrick Garland wants to use these officials to harass Joe Biden’s political opponents, we will grind his department to a halt.”

The Senate can approve nominees through a process called “unanimous consent,” which allows for a faster confirmation by setting aside the typical procedures for confirmation provided no senators object. With just one objection, all nominations are required to go through procedural and confirmation votes.

Vance’s promise to oppose unanimous consent votes may slow down Justice Department appointments, but it won’t completely stop them: procedural and confirmation votes require only a simple majority”.

GOP Republicans Project 2025 EXPOSED

Shocking details on this page about GOP Republicans Radical Project 2025 emerge revealing their extreme agenda to turn America into a Anti-Democratic Fascist Authoritarian Nation with Trump as a Dictator, similar to Viktor Orban’s Hungary where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere. This is what Trump and Republicans want to do to the United States.

Potential Trump Admin & Federal Employees are being expected to take an Oath of Loyalty to TRUMP (instead of the Constitution) to do his bidding without question. To get hired as a Federal Government employee under a Trump administration, all applicants must agree with the LIE that the 2020 election was “Rigged”, Stolen” and “Trump Won’.

Project 2025 would remove Presidential separations between the Department of Justice, putting Trump directly above the DOJ, allowing him to order the Prosecution of anyone who criticizes him. And since thousands of Federal Employees would pledge their loyalty to Trump, they would not hesitate to follow his orders.

This is the greatest threat our country has even faced and proves, REPUBLICANS are the Enemy of Democracy, Freedom, the United States Constitution and the Rule of Law.

 

Since Trump was sworn in as President on Jan 20, 2025, his executive orders are proving that he LIED to the American people about “knowing nothing” about Project 2025 to get elected. Since Trump lied to get elected, he defrauded the American people and therefore obtained the Presidency by fraud and deception.

 

37 ways Project 2025 has shown up in Trump’s executive orders

A side-by-side review by POLITICO found dozens of cases where the president’s early executive actions have aligned with portions of the 922-page policy document.

Per the above article: “37 ways Project 2025 has shown up in Trump’s executive orders”

Here’s some which Trump signed…

  • Withdraw from the World Health Organization
  • Allow troops to rejoin who declined Covid-19 vaccine
  • Ban transgender troops
  • End military DEI efforts
  • Close the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
  • End diversity, equity and inclusion programs
  • End government efforts to fight misinformation and disinformation
  • Enforce the death penalty and execute prisoners on death row
  • Recognize only two sexes
  • Remove diversity, equity and inclusion from federal hiring
  • Rescind health care protections for sexual orientation and gender identity
  • Restrict federal funds from supporting abortion access abroad under the “Mexico City” policy
  • Revise the Biden administration’s reading of the Hyde Amendment
  • Use Civil Rights Act to remove “gender ideology and critical race theory” from schools
  • Detain migrants in cooperation with local and state law enforcement
  • Impose sanctions on countries that do not accept deportees
  • Restrict federal funds to sanctuary cities
  • Suspend U.S. Refugee Assistance Program
  • Use DoD to defend the southern border
  • Federal government hiring freeze
  • Hire senior federal employees who agree with the president’s agenda
  • Reclassify policy making employees
  • Restrict election activities by holders of security clearances
  • Eliminate efficiency requirements for household appliances
  • Halt the Inflation Reduction Act and bipartisan infrastructure law
  • Revoke Biden’s “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” executive order
  • Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords

 

TRUMP is proving he LIED about knowing nothing about Project 2025.

After spending his entire campaign pretending he had never heard of project 2025, convicted felon Donald Trump is now checking off the boxes like it’s his to do list. Within just the first two weeks of his illegitimate administration, he has already militarized the southern border and declared that there are only two genders expanded the federal death penalty, withdrawn the united states from the world health organization and the Paris climate accords, increased drilling in Alaska and eliminated dye from the federal government. Paul Daniels, the former director of project 2025, said it best when he told CNN on Wednesday, quote, this is exactly the work we set out to do.

This man is promising annihilation if Trump gets back in office, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

The justices, however, seem to believe they’re above reproach. “The only way to take the Supreme Court back in the near term is actually court expansion,” Kermit Roosevelt III, Constitutional Law scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, tells Ali Velshi. It’s a critical moment for the country and the judiciary alike, with Republicans using the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 playbook to prepare for a possible second Trump term. Roosevelt adds that if they succeed, “it’s going to be an America you won’t recognize.”

Project 2025 is Trump’s blueprint to get rid of democracy and the rule of law

In a potential second Donald Trump presidency, the conservative Heritage Foundation plans to remake government in the mold of dictator Viktor Orbán of Hungary.

Per the above article: Project 2025 is Trump’s blueprint to get rid of democracy and the rule of law. In a potential second Donald Trump presidency, the conservative Heritage Foundation plans to remake government in the mold of dictator Viktor Orbán of Hungary.

An extremist, dark money “slime machine” is preparing a list of federal civil servants deemed disloyal to Trump, who could be reclassified, reassigned or fired if he takes office, The Associated Press reports. The chilling plot, a revival of the McCarthyism that traumatized a postwar America, is part of the dystopian agenda known as Project 2025.

Key to the agenda is purging the government of nonpartisan government officials sworn to uphold the Constitution and replacing them with sycophants loyal only to Trump. The entire federal government would be placed under direct presidential control. This includes the Department of Justice, which Trump has vowed to use to prosecute his political enemies.

The purge would pave the way for a Trump administration to impose a radical, repressive and regressive regime — one that could endure long beyond Trump’s constitutionally mandated term or even his lifetime. A vice president, Mike Pence, and officials committed to the rule of law in the departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security thwarted the attempted Trump coup in 2020 and 2021.

In a second term, there won’t be any officials who place the rule of law above Trumpism.

The agenda proposed in Project 2025 is grisly:

  • Dismantling the foundations of immigration policy, tearing families apart, turning away desperate refugees and stripping away protections for Dreamers
  • Undermining climate change mitigation, environmental justice and the transition to clean energy
  • Eliminating racial justice initiatives and preserving advantages for white Americans, even perverting the Justice Department’s civil rights division to “investigate and prosecute all state and local governments, institutions of higher education, corporations and any other private employers” with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies
  • Gutting public education, wiping out Head Start and other support for low-income students and withdrawing federal oversight of public schools
  • Slashing health care insurance, putting 18 million Americans at risk of losing coverage entirely, killing the drug price provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and Affordable Care Act’s protections for preexisting conditions.
  • Shutting down access to safe abortions, contraception and other reproductive health care, putting women’s lives at risk
    Deleting “sexual orientation and gender identity” from all federal rules, reinstating a transgender military ban and limiting LGBTQ workplace discrimination protections
  • Fire civil servants who stood up to Trump

As disturbing as this agenda is, the most alarming and repellent policy proposal contained within Project 2025 is the restructuring of the federal government, eliminating the kind of public servants who stopped Trump from completely disassembling the Department of Veterans Affairs, overcame his resistance to expelling Russian spies, deterred him from shooting racial justice protesters, derailed his plan to deploy the military against migrants and kick undocumented children out of schools and deflected his suggestion to drop nuclear bombs into the eyes of hurricanes.

There will be no stopgaps, no checks and balances, no one to say no when he tries to subvert the next election.

The (Radical Right Wing) Heritage Foundation, which produced Project 2025, grew out of the mid-1970s movement to protect racially segregated schools. The first battle it waged was against a school district’s adoption of multicultural textbooks — “n- – – – er books,” as some opponents called them.’’

The Heritage agenda is just as repellent now as it was then, which is why undermining a free democracy is key to its implementation. Heritage President Kevin D. Roberts says the “model for conservative governance” is Hungary’s authoritarian, anti-democratic leader Viktor Orbán.

“Why is Orbán their model? Because he showed them how to use elections to undermine democracy and ensure perpetual power for his team,” historian Nancy McClean said. “How? Orbán purged the civil service and refilled it with obedient loyalists. He got the Constitution altered. He completely dominates. And this is what Heritage wants to see happen in the United States.”

Why Republicans Don’t Want A Democracy

 

Rules of the Demagogue

 

Republicans are Fascists who want to DESTROY Democracy in the United States

 

Per Wikipedia, the definition of Fascism is; “a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party”.

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

 

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Republicans Will Lie, Cheat & Steal to get Elected

Videos from GOP insiders discuss how to today’s Republicans will do anything to win, including Lie, Cheat and Steal votes, then falsely blame Democrats

Political strategist and Lincoln Project cofounder Reed Galen joins Denver Riggleman to discuss their long and storied careers in the Republican party, before later becoming pariahs of the MAGA cult – who often dismiss them as being “RINOs.”

 

Creator of Donald Trump Ads Says He Will Lie, Cheat & Steal for Donald Trump

Jesse talks about the creator of several incendiary and lie-filled Trump ads who said on his show recently that he doesn’t care and will do whatever it takes to get Donald Trump reelected, including lie, cheat, and steal.  Justifies his despicable conduct by claiming the 2020 election was stolen. Trump losing over 50 court cases to overturn the 2020 election results prove, stolen election claims are false and a lie.

 

In the above video, Politifact debunks Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. Trump falsely accused Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary and Ted Cruz’s father being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.

 

Trump lied non-stop during the 2024 Presidential Debate and behaved like a mean spirited asshole bully

List of Trump’s outrageous lies and false statements;

Trump’s Lie about January 6th: “Nancy Pelosi, if you watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter who is a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this,’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard, and she turned them down.”

Fact Check: Nancy Pelosi never claimed to be responsible for January 6th. She can be seen on film during the January 6th attack on the Capitol asking local officials to deploy National Guard troops to the Capitol when it became clear Trump wasn’t going to deploy the D.C. National Guard.

Pelosi’s daughter is a documentary filmmaker who was making a film about her mother in 2021, and was filming in the Capitol on January 6th. She followed her mother and other members of Congress into a secure facility after the Capitol was evacuated. The footage can be seen in the Pelosi documentary, Pelosi in the House, on HBO.

The Speaker of the House has no authority over the National Guard. The Speaker of the House is not in the military chain of command, and does not have any authority to “turn down” National Guard troops that are ordered to defend the Capitol by the President.

Trump’s Lie about Abortion: “They’re radical because they will take the life of the child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the Governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, ‘we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we will do with the baby,’ meaning will kill the baby.”

Fact Check: Democratic Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia never said that. Here is what Northam said:

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Northam’s words were taken out of context. He was referring to palliative care of infants who have no chance of survival after birth: making them as comfortable as possible for the final hours of their life at the wishes of the parents, not intentionally killing them. Killing an infant after it is born is considered murder in all 50 states. No law has been proposed in any state to make infanticide legal.

Trump’s Lie about his N.Y. Criminal Case: “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

Fact Check: Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York for falsifying business records related to reimbursement payments to his then lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about her sexual relationship with Donald Trump before the 2016 election.

A jury of Trump’s peers found that he did, in fact, have sex with a porn star, and illegally tampered with financial records to keep his hush money payment about their affair a secret.

Here is the complete list of every lie Trump told during his debate with President Biden on Thursday (provided by the Biden-Harris campaign):

1. “We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well, and everybody was amazed by it.”

14. “Every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted [abortion] brought back to the states.”

15. “They’re radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we do with the baby, meaning will kill the baby.”

16. “Under Roe v. Wade, you have late term abortion. You can do whatever you want depending on the state. You can do whatever you want.”

17. “He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons, people that are from mental institutions, insane asylum, terrorists.”

18. “He didn’t need legislation because I didn’t have legislation. I said close the border.”

23. “Our veterans and our soldiers can’t stand this guy. They can’t stand him. They think he’s the worst Commander in Chief, if that’s what you call him, that we’ve ever had.”

24. “He did nothing to stop [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine]. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.”

25. “Iran was broke with me. I wouldn’t let anybody do business with them. They ran out of money. They were broke.”

26. “You had no terror at all during my administration.”

27. “Nancy Pelosi, if you just watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter, who’s a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh, no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard. And she turned them down.”

28. “The unselect committee, which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now, out of office, and Democrats, all Democrats, they destroyed and deleted all the information they found because they found out we were right. We were right. And they deleted and destroyed all of the information.”

29. “Telling the Ukrainian people that we’re going to want a billion dollars or you change the prosecutor, otherwise you’re not getting a billion dollars. If I ever said that, that’s quid pro quo.”

30. “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

31. “He basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage me.”

32. “He made up the Charlottesville story.”

33. “He caused the inflation and it’s killing Black families and Hispanic families.”

35. “[European countries] don’t want anything that we have.”

36. “Almost every police group in the nation from every state is supporting Donald J. Trump. Almost every police group.”

38. “And yet during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever.”

39. “The Paris accord was going to cost us $1 trillion and China nothing and Russia, nothing, and India nothing. It was a rip off of the United States and I ended it because I didn’t want to waste that money because they treated us horribly…. Nobody else was paying into it and it was, it was a disaster.”

40. “I’m the one that got the insulin down for the seniors. I took care of the seniors.”

41. On migrants: “They’re taking over our schools our hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over our schools or hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over Social Security.”

42. “But Social Security – he’s destroying it because millions of people are pouring into our country and they are putting them onto Social Security. They’re putting them onto Medicare, Medicaid. They’re putting them in our hospitals.”
