Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Feb 26 - 08:02 AM What's the source for that story, Donuel? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Donuel Date: 09 Feb 26 - 07:53 AM Matt Lewis reports that ICE is paying the salaries, overtime, equipment, and cooperation of local police across the country. This will make Trump's Gestapo an enormous force. This has been going on under the table for many months. The portion of 75 billion dollars for HLS is going to build the largest secret police ever assembled. |

Subject: National anthem From: Donuel Date: 08 Feb 26 - 08:26 PM oh o say can you see that our leader's a sleeze from the TV we watched that he has a bad brain lock Whose broad butt and right stars through a perilous fight O'er the internet we watched were so hideously streaming And his racist red stare and guns shooting in air gave proof on our phones that the Nazis are there O say does that narcissist con-man still rave O'er the land of the controlled who need to be brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the vote-stealing banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the slave who need to be brave |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Backwoodsman Date: 08 Feb 26 - 03:52 PM From a piece by Heather Delaney Reese on Substack - the whole piece is well worth a read, very scary stuff indeed. They said “It could never happen here”, but guess what? It IS happening right here and now When will the US wake up to its own destruction? ”It’s happening fast, but also just slow enough that people aren’t connecting the dots. And that’s exactly how it happened in the 1930s in Germany. Dachau opened in March 1933, just weeks after Hitler became chancellor. But those early camps were for political prisoners, dissidents, communists, anyone who pushed back. It took eight years to get from Dachau to the gas chambers. Eight years of dehumanizing specific groups, of propaganda, police violence, and the control of information. Eight years of people looking the other way and of loyalists being placed where watchdogs used to be. The systematic extermination, the Final Solution, didn’t begin until 1941. Each step normalized the next. We are in the early years of that timeline now. The dehumanization of immigrants, purging of independent watchdogs, placement of loyalists in positions meant to check power, attacks on a free press, the use of law enforcement as a political weapon, and the normalization of cruelty. None of this is the end of the story. But every historian who studies this period will tell you that we are deep into the opening act of the story. But we still have time to stop it. That’s why we have to be honest about where we are. Our job is to call it out loudly and repeatedly.” Heather Delaney Reese - Trump and the far-right media have a plan |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Donuel Date: 06 Feb 26 - 06:21 AM The Kennedy Memorial performing arts center looks across the river at Arlington National Cemetery, where Kennedy is buried with the eternal flame, and where the fallen from the Civil War through today are buried. Now, the landlord and chief will dismantle the Kennedy Memorial for years to come. When and if it returns, I'm sure the name change will reflect the non-serving landlord and minimize mention of the PT 109 captain. The landlord wants two more name changes in NYC of a major tunnel and airport. I would not want a restroom named after the Toddler of all time. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Donuel Date: 05 Feb 26 - 09:34 AM "Like nobody I ever spoke to It's Unbelievable Like Nobody has ever seen Like nobody can believe " These are just a few of Trump's disqualifiers that he uses everyday. That way when he is lying these add on phrases implies he is kidding/telling the truth that he is lying. This is some pretty convoluted nonsense. The dehumanization policy inside ICE is standard operating procedure and insideously deliberate. INSTEAD of refering to people as; citizens, immigrants, suspects, perps, adults or children... They call ALL detainees BODIES. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Feb 26 - 11:47 PM From NPR's Fresh Air today: Is the U.S. heading into a dictatorship? with Robert Kagan interviewed by Terry Gross about a recent article in The Atlantic and a book Rebellion: Donald Trump And The Antiliberal Tradition In America. The discussion is transcribed or you can listen to the conversation at the link above. Below is the opening of the program: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. My guest, Robert Kagan, used to describe Donald Trump as antiliberal. Then he upped it to authoritarian, and now Kagan says that Trump is getting close to becoming a dictator. Kagan writes, "President Trump has managed in just one year to destroy the American order that was and has weakened America's ability to protect its interests in the world that will be. Americans thought defending the liberal world order was too expensive. Wait until they start paying for what comes next," unquote. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Aethelric Date: 04 Feb 26 - 04:01 PM So, whats it really like in Venezuala Here is a summary by a journalist who is actually in Caracas. Trump, Pirate of the Caribbean Excerpt below:- I have now been here a week and I think that I have absorbed enough to attempt a little analysis, as opposed to the simple impressions I gave shortly after arrival. Those impressions remain valid however: this is not a repressive state. I was on the Randy Credico show live on WBAI New York on Friday, and by chance my friend, the renowned FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley was also on, from Minnesota (where I have stayed with Colleen and her husband in their home). I was explaining that, in a week of going all round Caracas, I had yet to see a checkpoint, that nobody had at any stage asked me who I am, what I was doing or prevented me from going anywhere, and that the shops, bars and restaurants are all functioning normally. Colleen reported from Minneapolis that there were checkpoints everywhere, that the streets are full of heavily armed men, that people are frequently stopped, questioned, asked to produce documents, and diverted, and that many shops bars and restaurants are closed because the staff are afraid to venture out into the streets. Colleen is heavily involved in detainee support and in getting supplies to people sheltering in their homes. Remind me again, which of us is in a supposed dictatorship? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Feb 26 - 04:22 PM Trump apparently fills his diaper during a meeting. People watching the woman in green see her trying to not respond overtly, but clearly everyone needs to empty the room in a hurry. He is not a healthy person. And more about the Melania flick, a review from The New Yorker (here's a snippet of it): “From the first seconds of ‘Melania,’ we know we’re watching a commercial: the camera swoops and glides over the luxury waterfront estate Mar-a-Lago, and then, back on the ground, a snakeskin stiletto emerges from an S.U.V. Visually, it’s slick but exceedingly mid,” Lauren Collins writes. “The director Brett Ratner cozied up to the Trumps after spending years in movie-biz exile amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault. (He has denied wrongdoing.) For his comeback, he has summoned all the artistic ambition of a local Realtor who just got a drone.”

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Donuel Date: 02 Feb 26 - 01:22 PM The gears of justice can grind so slowly that the death of Donald Trump will probably be the final judgment that destroys justice itself forever, with the final sentence of impunity for bribery, emoluments crimes, extortion, fraud, and murder. Are there other crimes like secret act crimes, kidnapping, insurrection...that you can think of? |

YES, Donald Trump is a dealer of petulance and poison who daily and arbitrarily chooses another target for his personal Gottendamerong. We are about to witness the metamorphosis of a twisted fanatic, poisoned by the gangrene of prejudice like an avenging angel who does not see other people having a life as real as his own. He is dedicated and fearsome in his hate that may know no bounds, and will change your life in a myriad of disgusting ways. |

They left Lutnick as a red herring. Trump is deciding who to toss overboard right now (to save his own ass). Noem or Gabbard seem to be awfully near the plank right at the moment. |

Her son Baron was probably named by Donald since he used to use the alias Baron when he did radio call-in shows in NYC. Trump doubled down on the executed Pretti, slandering him even more yesterday, while Homan promised a kinder, gentler ICE. What is happening is the same, but all before sunrise. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 30 Jan 26 - 04:45 PM from (Australian) ABC Religion & Ethics program ‘The ugly American’: Trump is uncouth and nakedly imperialistic, but we must imagine a future without him You can hear Professor O’Connor discuss Trump’s territorial ambitions and disruption of the “rules-based international order” with Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens on The Minefield. US President Donald Trump believes he should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for what he (falsely) claims to be his role in “having stopped 8 wars PLUS”. But it seems he will accept Greenland as a consolation prize. That he felt personally slighted by the Nobel snub is abundantly clear from a remarkable letter he sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize … I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? … I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. When asked by reporters from The New York Times why the United States needed to “own” Greenland, he said ownership was “Psychologically important for me”. But this interest in acquiring Greenland is nothing new. He expressed it repeatedly during his first term, and told Peter Baker and Susan Glasser back in 2021: (read on) |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US Prez 47/Don't Say His Name From: Backwoodsman Date: 30 Jan 26 - 03:26 AM Once again, the FUOB has attacked Jerome Powell, calling him a ‘moron’, over the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee’s decision not to artificially cut interest rates. ”Because of the vast amounts of money flowing into our Country because of Tariffs, we should be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,” he said… The president did not explain what, if anything, revenue from tariffs (which are import taxes paid by Americans and not by foreign countries as he often claims) had to do with the Fed’s “overnight rate” that lays out how much interest banks can charge each other for short-term interbank loans… Tariffs have made America strong and powerful again, far stronger and more powerful than any other Nation. Commensurate with this strength, both financial and otherwise, WE SHOULD BE PAYING LOWER INTEREST RATES THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,” he added…” Read the full article from The Independent here. Are Americans really so stupid as to believe the bare-faced lie that tariffs are paid by foreign countries? Tariffs are paid for by Americans, there is no vast flow of money into the US from tariffs, so why isn’t the FUOB called out on the lie? |
