Trump's elaborate scheme to re-write history.

[kentuck]

He wants a Commission for Justice and Accountability to pay the victims of the Democrats' "weaponization" of the DOJ against them. Most specifically, the "victims" of January 6th, that attacked and ransacked our Capitol, in support of guess who?

If he can get a huge cash settlement for them, it will go a long ways in legitimizing his claims that they were the "victims", with him being Victim #1. History will record that they all received a huge pay-off for the crimes committed against them.

What will future generations read?

1. Can taxpayers sue to stop the transfer of funds?

Again, Congress didn’t weigh in. And Trump is suing himself. I don’t remember that provision in the Federal Rules of Procedure.

2. Rewrite history? Orwell explained it. Nothing original with these copycats. Fascist playbook, 1984.

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.

– George Orwell

1984. Part 2, Chapter 9. Winston reading from Emmanuel Goldstein’s book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism.

Not only are they acting out the fascist playbook, but are aiming for a "1984" surveillance and mind control state.

Does this sound like Trump's ICE Gestapo army?

Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.” – O’Brien

Check out these quotes and let us know if ANY are irrelevant to the regime.
