Kick - so Musk running the America Party was a Russian idea.

I knew there was more to it than just Musk.

I used to get the water pump at the cottage going

with my Dad every spring. You prime the pump with enough water, and at the right speed, and the flow takes care of itself. My dad would fill a plastic garbage can 3/4 full of water to get ready. I bet the MAGA/Christian-nationalists/Republicans/project2025 people have these hateful ideas and edicts piled up and ready to prime when the hate ebbs amongst the flock.

They keep having to 'up the ante' to keep the flock

primed and engaged. You know who else kept priming the pump with murderous thoughts? Hitler.

Trump placing Musk squarely in the centrist camp:

What a fabulous idea! Who's in agreement?

Who says they aren't working together on a third party to capture the terrified-of-fascism-independents and that 15%-of-Republicans-who-are-deficit-Hawks from voting for Democratic swing districts candidates in the 2026 mid-terms so MAGA will win the midterms?

But the difference between who votes for Musk's

party and votes that leave Trump and go to Democrats could give Republicans, in districts the America Party does run in, the win. So far it is only planning on running in swing districts. Trump has a base of 37%. Another 30% don't bother to vote. That leaves 33% left to be split by Musk and Democrats. Keep in mind in multiparty Canadian parliamentary elections (based on the winning number of electoral ridings) the person who gets over 35% of the vote usually win. It is a scam Musk/Trump are pulling.

America Party is a Trojan horse to keep Democrats from

winning districts from Republicans in 2026.

Because it kills people and that is their climate plan.

Climate change gives opportunity for business to sell real estate in an evolving and climate chaos environment where only the rich now have access to expensive information on the changes in the climate and property values. It also kills some so saves on Medicare and Social Security. It will make government, the middle class and poor massively worse off. It all works out in the end for them. And they just blame the victims. Project 2025 is a fully evolved apex predatory organism.

Sharks and alligators guarding prisoners are gateway drugs to sadism.

I find this discussion about alligators chasing and eating detained migrants as another way to normalize what is truly happening in our names.

Applegrove:

Trump and Noem harped that undocumented immigrants would be always offered an immediate expulsion out of the USA before they get put in Alligator Alcatraz, like it was a spoon full of sugar. I guess they don't like the name Alligator Auschwitz. They want the sadism as a meme but don't want to provoke all the people who can still think and feel normal things. So they do it slow.

They want wives to have tons of babies and then die young so the man can remarry someone

young and not have to give up any wealth or assets divorce would cause.

This means eliminating Medicaid reimbursements for ALL of the services provided by Planned Parenthood?

Yes, Abortion & emergency contraception, but also
Birth Control
HIV Care
Mental Health
Prenatal & Postpartum care
STD testing/treatment
Vaccines
Wellness/Preventive care such as cancer screening
