DOGE was just the instrument of Project 2025, to gut the federal government and install a theocratic government (Trump, Russell Vought, Pastor Paula). They are still at it, slowly but surely and under the radar now that megalomaniac Musk has slithered from the scene. It will take a generation to restore the important American foundations and programs. The one bright side is that maybe from scratch we can do a better job.

Stunning portrayal of what otherwise would be considered psychotic, narcissistic, murderers if not for their official status as pseudo govt officials draped in cloaks of devious and deadly dismantling of fuctional govt agencies. Sick bastards all. I have no empathy for farritor, or his cadre of mentally childish bomb throwers. None.

Thankyou so much for keeping a spotlight on the damage done by musk, trump, farritor, doge and compliant, fearful republicans. It is estimated that more than 14 million people will die due to those previously mentioned cretins ending USAID. More than 350,000 are estimated to have died, including infants and children starving to death, from the genocidal actions of these immature, ego maniacal, killers. Their keystrokes will be mmore deadly than Hitler could have imagined during his reign of terror. Yet trash such as farritor are paid handsomely by taxpayers to be purveyors of death.

Maybe weak, feckless dems, if they ever regain DC power, can hold doge trials in the same way the the Nuremberg Trials were conducted after WWll. The disregard for human life is on a scale of brutality that would make the Nazis blush. The likes of musk, farritor, and the doge cult make Stalin, Mao and Lucifer blush at their abject cruelty and deadly, inhuman actions.

Well, Jewish scientists worked for their Nazi improsoners. More soldiers died from typhus than from bullets. The virtually imprisoned Jews created typhus vaccines but sent diluted samples to the monster Nazi troops. In effect killing troops faster than the Allies could do it with guns, tanks and bombs. SCIENCE can kill faster than bullets. F*ing rednecks. We don’t even need a gun locker. Too bad you aren’t as tall as your pencil f*k white nationalist christian dicks. Go make babies you can’t afford to raise. White trash. Oh, I’m an old white haired lady who has about 12 bibles on my shelf. You people disgust me.

This was a greatly revelatory article. It reveals the commonality among these newly empowered arrogantly self-righteous miscreants, like Trump, Musk, Thiel and the young Farritor: they are all sociopaths.

A couple of years ago, read a book entitled The Sociopath Next Door, which revealed the commonality among those suffering from that psychiatric diagnosis, that they were born without a conscience. Its author, a psychologist, concluded the basis of a conscience is the ability to love someone or something, other than one’s self.

Musk’s negative statement about empathy demonstrates that from Trump to Farritor, all these fascists have no conscience, because they were born without the ability to have love for anything, but themselves. Hence they are miscreants.

MSM(mainstream media) Missing the Nazi(Authoritarian) Playbook

It’s business as usual at MSM Just regurgitate to its audience what Cheeto said, what federal legislators said, recount the Gaza genocide and call it good The network getting close to calling the Nazi regime out for what it’s doing is MSNBC but even that network misses the point

Bernie Sanders and AOC called it the Oligarchy Protest Tour but the undercurrent of that tour is that the authoritarian takeover of the government is led by Cheeto BUT CHEETO IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE AUTHORITARIAN ICEBERG THE AMERICAN OLIGARCHY IS THE ICEBERG ITSELF And MSM and nonMSM eg Substack needs to use this in the context of news coverage

This is why there is such catering by the Nazis to give enormous financial favors to the top 5% of the electorate The Nazis have decided that the American people in this democracy don’t count and that the wealthy need to control the country Cheeto in his narcissistic way sees that he is the WAY and that his supporting oligarchy will

We see what has happened in the Authoritarian Deep South and how the voters have been disenfranchised so that the wealthy and well placed White Southerners have controlled the political narrative It seems like the Nazis are taking this Southern model nationwide by disenfranchising voters nationally

The key then is how do we the electorate respond to this oligarchic authoritarian takeover That’s for another time but it seems like Indivisible has its finger on the authoritarian pulse One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism is worthwhile looking at

Thanks so much to Professor Moynihan for exposing the inner workings of DOGE and the poor misguided schmucks who were recruited to run the operation. I wonder how they will feel about their actions as they mature with age. In my dreams we stuff Musk and his stooges back into the whole they crawled out of. But alas we must live in the real world with plenty of their kind. The battle between good and evil never ends.

The good thing is Musk is finally out of the picture (Ihope). The cruelty of these people and republicans knows no bounds.
