Real voices. Different views.
Describing ICE as “Gestapo” or “SS” skips a step.

What you’re seeing is earlier—closer to the SA phase:
– arbitrary arrests
– coercion
– detention without due process, backed politically

BUT this is getting WORSE — if you ALLOW it to continue.

You hear “cancer” — your world stops.

In Switzerland, you think will I survive?
In the U.S., it’s can I afford to?

Every Swiss, even the poorest, is covered by insurance.
No ideology — a wealthy, conservative nation that cares.

Caring for people isn’t radical — it’s what civilization looks like.

That’s how leadership looks: mobilizing the National Guard to keep food flowing to families when federal aid stalls.

Real statesmen help people — responsibly, where needed. Wannabe kings chase vanity projects.

H. L. Mencken, 1920

“On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last — and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

He saw it coming...

JEANNIE OUT THE BOTTLE

If Epstein really had blackmail on the elite, wouldn’t you expect them to do what they’re doing now?

Hell-bent on forcing that ugly ghost back into the same bottle they kept ripping it out of for months.

Do you really need more?

Let’s forget for a moment the $400,000+ a year Trump gets from tax payers for making your life harder…

Cabinet secretaries make $250,000+ – not doing their job.

Congress members earn $170,000+ – yet Republicans just follow Trump.

Anybody else would be fired for working like this.

So, FIRE THEM!

Historical precedent matters.

Germany, 1935.

The highest administrative court ruled political detentions were

NOT subject to appeal
NOT open to review
NOT protected by due process

That’s how rule of law was dismantled — FROM THE BENCH.

⚠️ SOME SHIFTS JUST NEED A WORD

trumpel (v., informal)

To lie so boldly it drowns the facts—then present false context as truth.

“He trumpelled through the Oval Office—presenting false context as truth.”

Executive?
Run by people you NEVER voted for.

Legislature?
Half enabling, half overwhelmed.
Checks & balances?
not checking MUCH.

Supreme Court?
Deliberate by nature –
but WATCHING history happen
from a distance too safe to matter.

THE LAST LINE?
That’s what a last stand looks like?

Used to be: The parachute will open.
Now? It might.

When a ruling doesn’t break right, experts call it a miracle – like justice showed up, once.

SCOTUS supposed to be the last line.
Why does it then look like a loophole?

Not long ago, answering “US” to “Where are you from?” got a:
“Ahhhhh, COOL!” 😎

Now it’s more like:
“Iiiiiiii… oh.” 😬

That’s what happens when leaders - and their cheerleaders - burn what others spent decades building.

A US senator now echoing far-right German talking points?

Tom Cotton wants to shield the AfD, a party under surveillance for extremist ties.

Imagine explaining that to the men who died at Omaha Beach.

A new low. A sad sign of American decline.

Stephen Miller wouldn’t be a U.S. citizen - if America hadn’t once welcomed Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms in Belarus (1903).

Now he wants to close that door for refugees.

Sad how fast the ladder disappears once you’re safe!

Why would cows choose the butcher over the farmer?
Because he promised more food, blamed the farmer for everything bad, and mooed just like them.

But:
The farmer cared for them - the butcher wooed them.
Now some already bleed. The rest still cheer.

WAS IT WORTH IT?

If you swore an oath, look in the mirror.
Can you truthfully say you’re upholding it?

They’re not just ignoring the Constitution - they’re trying to erase it.

For Christians following teachers JESUS never sent:

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

“Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire…”

“Purge the system.”
“Radical left lunatic judge“ - is what Trumpists say.

Like in Russia. Hungary.

History warns:
Freedom dies in small steps.

NO DUE PROCESS -
NO FREEDOM

Not for YOU. Not for ANYONE.

Do you still watch in silence?

WEIRDOS IN POWER:
Charlie Kirk

Started Turning Point to recruit young conservatives.
Tells students “not everyone should vote.”

Funded by megadonors like Uihlein & Marcus.
Spreads pro-Trump lies across campuses.

He’s not informing.
He’s training loyalists.

#Kirk #Strings

WEIRDOS IN POWER:
Jeffrey Clark

Trump nearly made him Attorney General.

Clark had a plan: send fake letters to states, flip the election.
Top DOJ leaders threatened to quit.
That stopped him.

Now on trial for conspiracy.

He wasn’t enforcing the law.
He tried to steal it.

#Clark #Strings
April 15, 2025 at 6:00 PM
WEIRDOS IN POWER:
John Eastman

Law professor turned coup architect.

Pushed fake electors in 7 states - so Trump could have stayed in power.

Now facing charges for lying to officials and faking documents.

He broke the law.
And tried to break the system.
