Cheeto: “Hey We Nazis Don’t Care”

Bill Gates has labeled Elon Musk of DOGE fame as “the richest man in the world killing the poorest people in the world” This was after Cheeto and the gang abandoned the USAID program whose budget for 2025 was $35B But Cheeto and his billionaire Nazi cronies don’t care

Of course cruel Cheeto being the sadist he is, he gets off and takes delight in hurting people So Cheeto closed USAID and cut off medical and nutritional aid to African nations who are struggling economically For example Somalia’s entire budget is $350M and most of that is spent on defense, not on supporting medical care And now with no vaccine support to Somalian communities there is a severe outbreak of diptheria

The greedy inhumane billionaires are now in favor of getting rid of the life saving peanut paste for starving children that are in warehouses They could distribute the paste and stop paying storage fees but no, “We don’t care”

Meanwhile the money that Argentina gets($40B) help out investing billionaires in this country but could have been used for USAID for medical and nutritional aid What have WE the People become under this Nazi regime?

Maya ! Yes, at wit's end - which is a reminder to lean into humor...

So, look up a song by Randy Newman ‧ 1977 "Short People" ( 5'2" Hahahhahaha )

Second stanza :

They got little baby legs

And they stand so low

You got to pick 'em up

Just to say hello

They got little cars

That go beep, beep, beep

They got little voices

Goin' peep, peep, peep

They got grubby little fingers

And dirty little minds

Enjoy !! Take care of you !

This is how the local courts and local police forces “interacted” down south a while ago. Police basically did what they wanted to. And if police got called out by judiciary, they got a hand slap. Good ol’ white boys. Still true in remote texas.

Just think how many kennedys ought to delete that part of their names. In the long run, RFK, jr will have wreaked more death and suffering on millions of people more than the likes of plastic surgery barbie (as in klaus barbie noem). Don’t get me started on the name tRump. Mercy!

Ok, the article is very comprehensive, so there's that. I think most of us have already stipulated that Trump is an authoritarian, so there's nothing really new here.

The first question: are we losing our democracy, carries with it an assumption that we had one that we could hold on to in the first place. I don't think we did. I think what we had was a Ponzi scheme, perpetuated through faith and norms, over generations. It's like paper money, it worked fine while the faith was still there. The fact that a used car salesman from Queens could just push at all the edges and make it collapse makes me doubt that it was particularly sturdy to begin with. It's almost like it was destined to happen at some point, now's just the time.

My question is this: is the authoritarian the end of the road? Maybe so, maybe he can flood enough troops and goon squads into all the major cities and force everyone at gunpoint to do what he says. I have doubts. There are many factors that point to a pretty rickety structure supporting trump. His age, health, quality of minions, lack of successor, and pretty much zero reliance on advisors points me to something other than a successfully-constructed Thousand Year Reich (the previous one lasted 12 years).

The other thing is, the US is not an island. We're physically sandwiched in between two democracies (no value judgements here on their quality, not my expertise). We're connected to other countries all over the world. I seriously doubt that the US 'falling' to a totalitarian regime would go unaddressed by anyone else with interests on the world stage. Isolation? Counter-coalitions forming for mutual protection? Something more kinetic? Don't know. But if we don't solve our little problem ourselves, we'll being getting 'assistance'. If only because we're bad for business right now.

I posted and recommended it because it is comprehensive in listing and explaining. Not for the answers.
