There’s definitely reason they’re in those jobs. And I doubt the top one is that they “just want to help people”
And here comes Goebbels.
Bari Weiss (right-wing crank) Named CBS News Editor-In-Chief, Solidifying Network’s Rightward Shift

Nice callout to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.
It is the same with the US military and the state National Guards.
A lot of them will be appalled at having to play SS agents against normal random US citizens.
They may end up killing a lot of US people, the end goal of the Trump regime’s game plan.
A few of them are going to get off on it. For them, its the best thing since their last video game.
The armed forces are a mirror of our society. Some of them will be normal people, Democrats, Independents, Social Justice Warriors, minorities. Some of them will be MAGAts and some will be white xian racists.
Trump called up 300 Oregon National Guard members. 166 of them were volunteers. Involuntary callups will have to fill the rest of the requirement.
Their own Night of the Long Knives will one day come for them.
I also have often wondered how the ‘Hi honey, I’m home!.’ convo goes with these people.
Wow! He doesn’t even take off his mask to eat! Messy!!! At least he put the gun away before he went to the table. (Or did he?)
birgerjohansson @ #2 — I’m not sure how that’s different from the way things have been.
Saw this George Manbiot piece on FB last night about oligarchies (here on YouTube). I found it thought provoking but I’m not really sure how to proceed. The good news, of sorts: it’s not just the US or Russia or Israel or even England that struggles with the rise of oligarchies. It’s the entire world that leans toward oligarchs.
The magat-in-chief ignores laws he doesn’t like and praises the corrupt SCROTUM that support him. Puppy killing ahole noem is out of control.
The Trump White House believes no law can bind it. No restraining order can restrain it.

Maybe we should changer her nickname from ‘puppy killer’ to ‘Chief Icehole’!
Oh the gangster looks so fright’ning
With his luger in his hand
But when he gets home to his children
He’s a family man
But when it comes to the nitty-gritty
He can shove in his knife
Yes he really looks quite religious
He’s been an outlaw all his life

@5
it will come I have no doubt. no one above will go to the line for anyone below just as “dear leader” wouldn’t do. Will it happen before dear leader is finally exposed in the Epstein files or when they finally have to admit he is too ill to continue or just drops dead.
Prehistoric ghouls

no need to cause a fuss
don’t go and make a scene

@ 11 unclefrogy – Will it happen before dear leader is finally exposed in the Epstein files or when they finally have to admit he is too ill to continue or just drops dead.
You left out his followers finally realizing he is hurting them, killing them and plain bad for the earth. We know this is never gonna happen because they don’t want to know the truth, they want to be fed fake stories and lies. Living in an alternate reality makes them feel good. Why face the real world when Trump can convince you his reality is best for everybody.
@3 – which I just learned is itself a callout to Orwell, who lived in Apartment 6, 27B Canonbury Square, Islington, London!
@13, Cool.
Last time we were in London we saw the Orwell plaque on Portobello Rd, but I didn’t know about the plaque in Islington, or the link to Brazil. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it now.
