white nationalists

anti-semite bigots, racists, intellectuals and business leaders saw Hitler and Moussolinis' movements as viable models for the U.S. to follow Charles Lindberg and William R. Hearst enthusiastically embraced Hitler literally and many other Americans figuratively and literally as the American Nazi Party proved. It's still here with Boebert, Jordan's and MTG's running wild in our Congress has proven.

How did our trump attempt at coup de tat' begin? Our so-called RW leaders tried in 1933 and 2020-21. Yet the latest coup attempt has shown that decent Americans did stand for our democracy. The mid-terms proved this. This attempt by trump and cohorts has just let me know, we must remain constantly vigilant against RW extremism. In business, MEDIA, our national and state elected offices and the armed forces. Also with the guardians of POTUS and family. During President Obama's 8 years, someone made it into WH and gained entrance to the front foyer before being stopped. In 2011 a disenchanted American shot at the WH with at least 7 bullets hitting the top windows.

Here is a little know article about the 1933 coup attempt

the lies, the lies

while I expect lies like this because the RW fascists are just following their leader. I am so very tired of their continuance even with the indisputable truth slapping ALL of them in the face. But I guess I just have to accept history(Hitler, WW2) and expect them to continue.

This perpetrator of trump lies cannot be believed by me for his out-and-out gall to tell this lie

Happy Holidays guys and stay safe. The drizzles have started here interspersed with snowflakes.

what has happened

is the moral rot of their brain. The big traitor and his 1-6-21 followers on the ground and in government have this problem eating away their morality, integrity and position(s). Their leader is the perfect example. Just to pick two egregious transgressions, 33 thousand plus lies during his 4 years in the highest office in this land. And his TOTAL disregard for members of our military. Cowardice personified by the ex. He metaphorically spat on Gold Star families. Normandy? God, I hated him for that!

rant finished, hope I don't offend the author of the post or any others.

per last question

nope.

true this

the so-called 'quiet' period, the period of 1933-39 entrenching hate for their neighbours who happened to be Jewish. Beware the so far mostly 'quiet' brownshirts(militias) that trump created and encouraged. "Proud Boys Stand back and by".

The first dry run was Michigan and the 2020 planning attempt of capturing Gov. Whitmer. She was to be tried and convicted of violating the U.S. Constitution and Michigan's, then hung. Remind anyone of the threats made on 1-6-21?

These people are a clear and present danger to our democracy as American fascists with no morality nor truth behind their creation(s) and manifestoes.

excellent

excellent post/analysis.

We as Democratic members of the Democratic Party would do well to openly put deSantis in his place. Shine a light on the dark corner(s) of his dirty laundry He's a terrible governor and as POTUS would make trump look like a republikkkan choir boy. Not by much mind you but truth as I see it

I'm already buying myself winter gear for the 2024 Ice Age blizzard(s).

no and I

would be greatly surprised if compassion is shown here. I remember Michael Brown and the pig that murdered him and the authorities that let him stay in the street for 8 hours. Something akin to the execution by hanging performed by good citizens of Amerikkka. They made people see the bodies for days as a warning to uppity black Americans. Even though black Americans have been given unequivocably citizenship in 1868, it took The Civil Rights Act of 1964 to outlaw the pervasive discriminatory practices by white Americans and truthfully by many other cultures.

reality check!!!

60 years ago

this week provided a view of two nations threatening to use nuclear weapons to win a standoff between two nuclear powers. The Cuban Missile Crisis with leaders President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had them in an impasse with the lives of humanity hanging in the balance.

Currently, this proxy war between the West and Russia has started escalating into a very dangerous area/territory of threat to humanity again from nuclear war. Mr Putin's mistake in seeing Ukraine as a pushover state has caused him to now start making open threats of using low-yield tactical nuclear weapons as an option for making Ukraine a part of his "Mother Russia". Ukraine and the West say no to him and his wish for a larger fascist nation. Will this standoff evolve into the nuclear Armageddon feared by many sane people? In Russia and the 'West'?
