PSA on DSA

 

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

Democratic Socialists of America National Co-Chair Megan Romer went on FOX (R) to feed into their latest red scare campaign and communist hysteria. Of course, anything this foolish woman said would be used to attack the Democratic Party as “fellow communists”, as our fascist Criminal President does regularly.

I have long favored democratic socialism in the Bernie Sanders vein. In a world of shifting ideology and world views, it would seem the label would now be "social democrat" that reflects European Social Democracy.

Now that the DSA has lost it’s common sense and grounding in reality with their interpretation of democratic socialism, I would call on AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and Zohran Mamdani to disavow their ties to that party. The Democratic Party needs to embrace progressive policies that actually help Americans maintain their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We don’t need wackos who welcome communists into their party giving Republicans their excuse to revive McCarthyism and to smear every opponent as a communist. This is exacerbating their hate and fascism, not opposing it.

Yes, I agree with the DSA when they advocate public health and public education, as exemplified in Western Europe. I support higher income and wealth taxes on the ultra-rich. I agree the Electoral College should be eliminated. I support dismantling the criminal and unaccountable rogue ICE agency. They were established 23 years ago with the Department of Homeland Security in reaction to 9-11. We survived over 220 years without them and can do just fine without them. 

But come on, when Megan Romer blathered on about having “no borders”, who the hell does she think would go along with that?

Other absurd tenets of the party are delusional and deal breakers for all but the most extreme Left. (I’m not one of them. But I know fascist MAGA dupes will refuse to understand this.)

I’ll mention a few of the DSA policies that only alienate the vast majority of Americans.

“You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.”

That’s Marxism, as in, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". I may be ABLE to work 80 hours a week, but I sure as hell don’t want to, and glad I don’t have to.

“Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.”

If this means I can’t go out to my favorite restaurants, forget it! Yes to public education and medicine, but energy and transportation need to be addressed rationally with cooperative utilities management and serious budget considerations.

“Demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, and redirect funding to public services as steps towards fully abolishing the police and prison system which protects the rich and jails the poor. Treat drug addiction and mental illness as health issues, not crimes. End qualified immunity and empower civilian oversight bodies with real authority over the police.”

They had me at demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, redirect funding to public services, and ending qualified immunity for rogue ICE agents and violent cops, but sorry, we need public safety and a way to remove violent thugs from society. Look at how Trump praised, pardoned, and wants to PAY his J6 thugs for terrorizing Congress and beating cops bloody in his insurrection. Ironically, Trump is more communist than any Democrat in his freeing and rewarding criminals, and his state acquisition and control of corporations and media.

“For the working class to govern, we need a new political system. End political corruption and legalized bribery: get rid of lobbyists, dark money, and Citizens United, and publicly finance all elections. Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.”

Lofty ideals. How to get there would be the problem. I’m with them up to the last sentence. I still support the founders’ idea of three coequal branches of government for checks and balances. Yeah, that’s totally a fiction now, but salvageable if we bury MAGA and get sane people in office.

Anyway, the bottom line is the DSA is essentially a destabilizing movement in so many ways. All we need is for the Democratic Party to embrace its progressive ideals of civil rights, voter rights, and an economy that benefits working class and poor Americans.

Again, I return to my embrace of the socialist ideals in our Constitution. We need our fair representation, rights, and civil liberties, along with the taxes, regulation of commerce, and provision for the general welfare in our foundation of law.

 

Who has a problem with that? 

For perspective, Democrats don't vote for communists.

MAGA voters, on the other hand...

“Russia Hoax” Hoax

“Russia, if you’re listening…” 

Putin WAS listening. He listened in 2016, 2020, and 2024. 

Putin admitted he wanted his Crooked Puppet to win. He knew this would serve his interests in gaining an ally/stooge and in destabilizing the United States. 

Mission accomplished.

Let's thank the Criminal President for confirming Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference on behalf of the Criminal Candidate.

This "we won or they cheated" anti-American, debunked, destabilizing, undermining, and denial of elections bullshit needs to be rejected, shunned, and shut down for the good of the country.

Unfortunately, this won't happen until we all see the "big, beautiful obituary", the sooner the better. His bullshit lies need to be buried along with him. 

And the sooner we electorally bury his treacherous, lying, spineless, sleazebag sycophants in the Republican Party the better. This is our republic's last hope.

Opposite of MAGA

 

The Bidens are the opposite of MAGA. The difference? Basic human decency.

I will include one more perspective:

I have nothing to add on the demise of Lindsey Graham. He's gone, but the evil he abetted remains.

The Criminal President Trump has broken and divided America with his crimes, while corrupting an entire political party.

They made their bargain with the Great American Satan. They side with his lies, hate, cruelty, and evil at every turn, simply on the whims of their Criminal and Corrupt leader.

They reward thugs who beat cops bloody to overturn a fair election. 

They look the other way when unaccountable secret police ICE thugs murder innocent human beings on the street.

They cheer Trump throwing non-violent immigrants into cruel and unaccountable corporate concentration camps.

They abet the Criminal President's obstruction of the Epstein Files and protection of pedophile child molesters. 

They cheer Trump's cuts to cancer and medical research. 

They cheer his tax cuts for billionaires.

They cheer Trump's cuts to food stamps and healthcare for the needy.

They support their Criminal leader for demonizing, scapegoating, and punishing people he hates.

They cheer Trump for decimating NOAA, leaving America more vulnerable to threats of severe weather.

They willingly join his corrupt war on our democracy. 

They support Trump for breaking his promise for no new wars. They support Trump for abandoning Ukraine and his promise to end the war.

They are willing to send Americans to die for Netanyahu's war with Iran.*

They suppress voter rights, impose racist redistricting to eliminate representation for Black Americans. 

They are actively encouraging Trump's election deniers who pedal his Big Lie to interfere in the upcoming elections. 

They amass power and wealth while people they hate suffer. They are the true domestic enemies of our Constitutional democratic representative republic.

They are fascists.

Americans want the OPPOSITE of all of this hate and lies. Americans want the OPPOSITE of this deliberate and cruel destruction of our rule of law and democracy.

They have eroded all decency in leadership. Americans want the OPPOSITE of MAGA!

*Yes, it is Netanyahu's war. The Criminal President Trump was the only president gullible and stupid enough to be talked into a war by the Israeli tyrant.

Happy 250th

 

This is how the world sees the US under the Criminal President:

Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw shows the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame in Roubaix, France. 

This is where we rate:

This is MAGA fascism:

Fox News personality and “Outnumbered” co-host Emily Compagno said this about James Talarico, the Democratic candidate in Texas for U.S. Senate.  “(Talarico) is not just some Democrat. This person is a demon in human skin."  

Trump's white supremacist, neo-Nazi "Patriot Front" in DC. Naturally they have a Confederate flag.

This is how fascists and tyrants rule.

This is MAGA racism:

This is MAGA corruption:

An anonymous MAGA racist had this to say, “Who really cares if he is a Racist or not As long as he’s a good president for the country.”

This is who, and what, they are.

This is MAGA hypocrisy:

This is MAGA oligarchy:

Much of the Declaration of Independence is relevant today:

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." – Declaration of Independence 

This is true patriotism and loyalty to our Constitution. Active-duty Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested for protesting Trump. He is a hero, bravely taking a stand against the corrupt Criminal President and his authoritarian white nationalist regime. 

Major Watson should be the role model for all patriotic Americans. Trump and the entire MAGA cult is obsessed with punishing and inflicting pain on everyone they hate. The words that describe this extreme ideology are "fascism" and "evil".

Time to wake up and resist the evil, America. If you don't, it is finished.

MAGA = Racism...

 

 

…And sexism.

…And corruption.

...And crime.

...And greed.

...And cruelty.

No wonder they hate the "RINO" who dared to show some sanity. Thomas Massie observed, "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Before the 2024 election the Criminal President and his allies spread the vicious racist lie that LEGAL Haitian immigrants were “eating the dogs in Springfield”. Despite the blatant racism, enough ignorant and racist Americans voted the criminal back into power. Can’t have no brown woman for a president now, can we?

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 majority to allow the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 350,000 migrants from Haiti and Syria.

They have a higher employment rate than the general population, so they are clearly not hear to “take free money and handouts”. Corporations and billionaire oligarchs get most of that loot anyway.

Yeah, it’s the racism again. The “eating the dogs” smear was just setting the stage for the white nationalist purge and to keep punishing people of color. In case I haven’t made it clear by now, fascists are known by their extreme hate, racism, and eagerness to harshly punish anyone they hate. This is MAGA at its core.

A while back I wrote:

These are indeed the glory days for 21st Century American racists and “Christian” nationalists. Their white privileged minority rule has just become set in concrete; thanks to the serial criminal they TWICE installed into the Oval Office.

White Christian Nationalists have their racist criminal president. They own Congress. And they own the Supreme Court, abetted by their token black White Nationalist. They have won their decades-long engineered coup by taking control of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our federal government.

These despicable racists deserve as much hate in return as they dish out. But I won’t play into it. Hating them does no good. Only justice will. Trump deserves to be in prison, as do his criminal cronies, murderous ICE thugs, and war criminals running the Pentagon. And speaking of justice, the six racist MAGA Supreme Court Justices have all committed impeachable offenses, from lying to Congress to accepting bribes from rich benefactors whom they side with in their cases brought before the Court.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

Got a problem with that? Then YOU should be in JAIL!

The Criminal President threatened our right to free speech and dissent with, "These people should be put in jail, the way they talk about our judges and our justices, trying to get them to sway their vote, sway their decision”.

The word for this is “tyranny”, folks. 

I won’t wallow in hate, but I will express my anger at racism and racists, at thugs and bullies, and at every Trump supporting racist, oligarch, and ignorant dupe. But I repeat myself.

I’m not wasting any more words. I’ll let others continue to get the message across.
