Emphasis mine

They lost their right to govern when they threw their protective arms around a rabidly corrupt president during the impeachment - this is just the icing on the let them eat cake attitude of people who have never seen their children go hungry or are threatened with homelessness. May all Americans remember this day when their neglect led to further heightened economy insecurity for millions of Americans in the time of a pandemic. They need to be routed in November.

Lamenting Cost of War

Emphasis mine

This was deliberate. He was literally in your face mourning those who killed 6 million Jews on the Jewish day of mourning. Yet another Nazi in the Trump administration emboldened to be a Nazi in public... Yet again reinforcing how despicable they really are! The level of disrespect and the utter lack of decency should not surprise, but sometimes, just sometimes they manage to do something with such horrid in your face impacts on a minority community that it still takes your breath away. The antisemitism on display here is on every level of nasty and Hoekstra is talking directly to the torch wielding 'Jews shall not replace it' far right bugaloo wankers as the Administration gins up the hate as the clock ticks down to the election. I HATE these fuckers.

Heh. Remember when Bush stole an election? Seems almost nostalgic now cause at least he did not put brown shirts on the streets of predominately back cities across the land, threaten to delay the election and undermine citizens trust in the democratic process - my bad he definitely did that last one!!!! . But while I have problems with Dubya being in the same headline with Obama and Clinton - in comparison to the nazi in the WH... Three Men and a Baby seems more than appropriate.

celebrate Eid

I know there are spikes in some South Asian communities but if the government can say that delaying a week did not matter at the start of lockdown, surely delaying a day for Eid would not have had that big an impact - but they just didn't think about Eid at all in this decision making. People are likening it to cancelling Christmas at 10 pm on Christmas Eve. Yet another unforced error by this government. If they even knew it was Eid, or what Eid represents - which I would find doubtful - I can guarantee they did not give one seconds thought to the impact of this lock down on Muslim families. This is what happens when you have a bunch of posh privileged white right wing tossers in charge - they are unable to perspective take from a minority point of view because they firstly, could not give a shit about those communities and secondly they do not have those minority communities sitting at the top table. And so of course they just cancelled Eid for large sections of our Muslim communities, of course they did. They will be highly offended at being call Islamaphobic but just not bothering to consider the impact of the lock down on this day of days is at the very least uncaring of the many Muslims living in the north, I personally think it is worse than that - you can go to the pub but not into another persons home... which community does that serve?!?! Hhhmmm

Portrait by Dan Lacey.

Trump’s move to repeal the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule in an attempt to reintroduce segregation to suburbs is a racist dog whistle of epic proportions that, I suspect, in 2020 will not work the way he thinks it will. Trump and his sycophantic syphilitic nazi enablers live in white supremacist bubble that is nothing like the landscape of most peoples lived reality, and even if suburbia has never felt challenged on race relations in any real meaningful sense to effect change in the wider community, there is a big difference between that and actively wanting to live an all-white experience. To be fair heading back to Jim Crow will work with his basest of base, but most people, in the year of the murder of George Floyd and BLM have spent time exploring the relationship between POC and the state and the disproportionality of state violence against certain communities. (White) Suburban mum and dad are not deaf or blind to these discussions, though the racist prick in the white house obviously thinks they must be – in the same way he is. He wants them to be scared of the ‘big black bogey man’ that only he can save them from *rolls eyes*. He is measuring them against his standards of ethics and morality – as in assuming they have none but I think he may find that many in suburbia in 2020 understand the optics of this aggressively racist policy much better than he does…

Meanwhile back on planet normal the white, black and brown people of suburbia (cause in reality suburbia is not the exclusive white space that the racist in chief perceives it to be) see covid-19 infection rates continue to explode, death rates continue to climb, the republicans trying to reduce unemployment payments to the point that kids across the land will be living in food poverty, the economy is in the tank, job instability is very real and children are about to be sent to potential death camps when schools reopen next month, so yeah, lets see how Jim Crow works for him in November. Hazarding a guess that it will not make one single dent in his cratering polls.

Excellent!!!

country ‘to keep his family safe’

Emphasis mine

Satire, but not really. It is great he is gone but I really want Spain to kick him out - see if he applies for asylum
All of the ironies... cause he really did say he moved to Spain because of being persecuted for his far right racist views, and wanted to protect his family... and he really does not see the double standard of fleeing to a foreign country for safety having tried for years to stop our country from accepting families who are fleeing from actual persecution has caused actual harm.

All those evangelicals that call us demon-crats are desperate for the thrice married rapist racist adulterer to retain power so they can continue their theological domination over all the horrors that come out of Trumps white house. But they are really shit at running the country. When you rely on allegories in a book written 5 thousand years ago to create law of course if will be fucked up - and that shit will kill people. But even though they and their great orange god have failed by every metric out there, that matters not one jot to a group of people who proclaim that they are being persecuted when all the while generational persecution of anyone who is not part of their white racist privilege happy clappy smug cult of in built advantage, that they refuse to recognise, but that is self evident to everyone else. Of course they don't care that everyone else sadder and poorer, cause power, privilege and Jesus. In a statement of the obvious they need to be routed in November!
