Pick an authoritarian police state dictatorship with a semi-divine leader. Any of them.

You're living in it now.

Emil Bove looks like Stephen Miller's dad. Use "Trumpstein files"

Gee, when I see Bove, he always reminds me of the character Lurch in The Addams Family show.

Trump has been offering up deeply significant gifts to Putin almost every day of his second term, and we should be very, very slow to view these new announcements as some big change in Trump’s approach to Putin, particularly as the delay (again) of the Senate sanctions bill is a big win for Russia and allows Trump to postpone a fight he might lose at a time when he is already struggling.

Coming To Terms with Miller’s “Mass Deportation” Strategy and What It Is Going to Do to The Country - What is the end game here? Why does ICE need all this money? Why are the National Guard and the Marines still on the streets of Los Angeles?

In the coming weeks, we need to come to terms with what Trump and Miller really doing here, and what is means for the country. Simply, they intend to force at least 15 million people - almost all with jobs and families - out of the country. They are doing it in the most inhumane and economically destructive way possible to accelerate the process, encourage “self-deportation,” and in their minds save money.

We also got a better understanding this week of why they believe they need all these detention centers - they are intending to put intended removal targets in detention centers for years, preventing them from working and taking care of their families at a cost to us of many, many tens of billions of dollars. Here’s the Washington Post today, ICE declares millions of undocumented immigrants' ineligibles for bond hearings.

The Trump administration has declared that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are no longer eligible for a bond hearing as they fight deportation proceedings in court, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

Re “staying in power indefinitely”.

The actuarial tables come for us all, & Trump is a 79 year old man who obviously has multiple comorbidities

There’s plenty to succeed him. Admittedly, JD Vance has zero charisma but then I never saw much charisma in Trump either.

Now that Peelon and Big Balls have ransacked the entire database of information on every single American, it's gonna be easy-peasy to find any Democrat anywhere and go after them. I truly believe it will come to that. After decades of calling us the enemy, it's one more tiny step towards actually trating us like we are.

I agree this is probably the ultimate goal - to stop the elections and stay in power. Everything else is bad but just smoke screening the real plan. Stay in power- neutralize the opposition with fear - the people become the slaves to keep the oligarchs wealthy. It is all about the greed, cruelty and the narcissistic power grab. Rebellion must stay strong to protect democracy and the Constitution!

One good thing we Democrats have in our favor is that all of Trumps cabinet heads, the ones he's depending on to get him out of this mess, are idiots. They're all incompetent, useless people, that don't have a clue as to what they're doing. So keep going with them Trump. They're going to be your downfall.

But Vought and Miller (and Holman) are not dumb. And they are sly and sleazy, almost as disgusting as Vance. Watch out ⚠️⛔️☣️

You are correct, but they are Nazi's or at least a good imitation of them. and the people aren't happy about what they're doing. In my opinion, up to this point, is that there is going to be a revolution because of them. Wishful thinking anyways.

Hopeful thinking - and need to put action behind the hopes to push forward! We can do this!

I’ve read about the ActBlue thing before. He may actually have filed a suit. He accused them of taking foreign money.

Third term🤣🤣🤣🤣 Agent orange will need a walker and a diaper bag everywhere he goes.

However, what the project 2025 fascists may have in mind: find a loophole to let agent orange run, count on his idiot zombies to vote him in, declare him incompetent and the VP carefully selected by vought et al will take the reins🧐

I love it when somebody runs a good ChatGPT on Trump’s behavior. Check this one out that evaluated his crazy three page rant🤣
