For the record, I don’t think Trump is a Nazi. I think he doesn’t have any real beliefs beyond “Whatever gets me cheers”.
He is deeply racist, and his first wife did claim he kept a book of Hitler speeches beside his bed, but I think that’s all secondary for his desire to be liked.
It just so happens that catering to Nazis and bigots in general is an easy and proven method of getting him cheers, so he just says and does Nazi things without hesitation.
Of course this all means it’s a distinction without a difference. Him being a disingenuous Nazi ain’t really any better than if he was in fact authentically a Nazi.

Double post.
Remember how at the beginning of the Covid pandemic Trump openly tried to sabotage Covid reporting? How he even admitted that he didn’t want Covid cases to be reported so the official numbers don’t go up?
Well now he’s doing it again with Bird Flu. All CDC, FDA etc organizations must freeze their reporting pending review from Trump toadies.
Welcome to the Ministry of Truth. Established just in time for the next potential outbreak.

How much does that affect State Org Specific reports?
It’s not like Rump can force Cali to shut up about cases of sickness from their own state.
At least not for the time being.

I just heard that one of the Jan 6 rioters actually turned down Trump’s pardon because “we were wrong.”
Can someone find a source to verify this? I just want to make sure this is something that actually happened and is not just another random internet rumor.

Not quite there yet, but yes. That thing everyone’s been worrying about for the last month or so continues to spread.
Well at least the CDC is still getting funded and ran by people who believe in science right? Oh right RFK.
I’m not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore, as those who went as far as calling my Probation Officer trying to get me in trouble backfired on them, thinking I would stop speaking out, just give me more confidence to continue!
I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!… https://t.co/WwCAcxduZh

Given Mr Brain Worms is in charge of of health, and Trump just decided America was better off without the assistance of WHO, how screwed in America if another 2020 level pandemic hits?

What is Trump trying to do? Kill off a bunch of Americans out of spite? IIRC, the Covid pandemic was initially spread heavily around the urban areas, which are mostly blue areas. However, more people eventually died in red states than in blue states. So the pandemic killed off more of his supporters than the people who voted blue. Whatever insidious plot Trump is trying to come up with may end up backfiring on him.

I’d advise watching folks like Gleen Kirschner who have good videos on what’s currently going on.

Back in 2018, Donald Trump first floated the idea of trying to use an executive order to change the Constitution by revoking birthright citizenship. When he made that claim in 2018, Margaret Stock, a former professor at the United States Military Academy at Went Point said in an NPR piece, “I think it’s kind of a lunatic fringe argument.”
Yet now, Trump has tried to do exactly that, signing an executive order declaring, in substance, that the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship is no more.
This video discusses why Trump is wrong, and why the more than 20 states and multiple civil rights organizations that already have filed suits against the Trump administration’s new executive order are very likely to win in court.

It’s past 24 hours. Is there peace on Ukraine? Oh that’s right, he said he will have China on top of it.
From what I’ve read somewhere, it seems Trump is threatening to “put high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States,” which, if I remember correctly, is what we’ve already been doing since the war started almost three years ago.
Yeah, something tells this was yet another thing that Trump had only “concepts of a plan” for, and it’s already obvious that he’s trying to make things up on the fly.
I wonder how Trump will respond when Putin inevitably laughs off such an empty threat…

You know more than anything I want to understand WHY people voted for Trump and are so eager to be his number one simp. Trump is fat, dumb, and an embarrassing drama queen. At least Putin carefully cultivated his image as a strong man, Trump tried but he didn’t even come close.
