I told you Trump was a fascist and his unhinged rant at the Military this week is just another optics of evidence proving how utterly unfit he is for Office…
Fact check: Trump makes numerous false claims to generals and admirals, some about the military
President Donald Trump made numerous false claims in a rambling Tuesday speech to hundreds of generals and admirals who were summoned to a military base in Virginia to listen to addresses by the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Some of Trump’s false claims were about the military itself.
…Trump apologists and MAGA Occultists don’t actually care if Trump is a dictator, indeed they yearn for that.
Culture war resentment has reached such a breathtaking level that Trump apologists and MAGA Occultists will gleefully sabotage their own economic well being just to hurt their perceived enemies.
Social media hate algorithms have us at each others throat creating an All Tribe No Village political landscape where the common good is seen as the enemy.
For Trump to call upon the Military to tackle the in eternal enemy in such an obvious and deranged manner is just another goos step towards open fascism.
Trump’s lies would be funny ion he weren’t so dangerous…
Trump repeated his false claim that he has “settled seven” wars. He cited a war between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda as one example, saying, “I got that one done,” and mentioned “Kosovo and Serbia” as another.
But those examples actually show that Trump has not settled seven wars.
For one, Trump hasn’t ended the conflict involving the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The peace agreement brokered by the Trump administration and signed by the DRC and Rwanda in June did not involvethe rebel coalition, allegedly backed by Rwanda, that has seized territory in the eastern DRC, and CNN reported from the ground last week: “The scores of militia groups that have fought for three decades in one of the most protracted and complex conflicts in the world are still engaging in deadly fighting, and US President Donald Trump’s claimed peace deal for the nation feels like a distant dream.”
And while Trump has previously claimed to have prevented the eruption of a new war between Serbia and Kosovo — providing few details about what he was talking about — those countries weren’t in an actual war either during Trump’s current term or during his first term, when they signed an economic normalization agreement brokered by Trump’s administration in 2020, so he couldn’t possibly have settled one.
Similarly, another dispute on his list of seven wars he supposedly settled, between Egypt and Ethiopia, was not actually a war, either, during Trump’s time in the White House. They have a long-running and unresolved dispute about a major Ethiopian dam project on a tributary of the Nile River, but this is not a war.
…he hasn’t solved shit. He’s just lying!
As for invading Portland…
Trump, talking about the city of Portland, falsely claimed “your place is burning down” and that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II.” We’re not sure what “tapes” Trump has seen, but it’s simply not true that the city is burning down. While there have been some unruly protests near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in the city this year – and protesters were arrested in June for allegedly starting fires there – the broader city has been functioning as usual, and even the situation around the ICE building is generally calmer than it was in June.
CNN’s Andy Rose noted in an article Tuesday that Trump began publicly floating the idea of deploying troops to Portland this year on the same day that Fox News, of which Trump is a frequent viewer, aired a story that mixed recent footage of standoffs at the ICE facility with five-year-old footage of rioting in Portland during a period of national unrest in 2020.
…Jesus wept!
Trump is a fucking disgrace and those who cheer him on are Brownshirts.
The American Midnight is upon us.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Agree 100%. Very very sad.
Are we witnessing the early death throes of democracy in the USA -and will it be catchy? Quite possibly.
