"Liberal Fascism" ? It's An Oxymoron. Trump Is The Real Fascist - Along With His Cult Of Thugs

"Fascism now, fascism tomorrow (if I get re-elected) and fascism forever! Heil Trump!"

Trump endorsing fascism is nothing new as we've beheld it hundreds of times in his tweets, public statements and actions - from  teargassing peaceful protesters in D.C. so he could do a bible pose, to vowing to send in the military to break up protests, to entertaining fantasies about limiting free expression, and even endorsing Chinese concentration camps against the minority Uyghur Muslims,  gleaned from John Bolton's just released book ('The Room Where It Happened').  

But in his pathetic Mt. Rushmore July 4th (actually 3rd)  event this walking, squawking human sewage outdid himself, with his batshit crazy claims.  This, even as his own radical Right minions will now face charges in federal court pertaining to targeting law enforcement as well as legitimate protesters in the wake of George Floyd's killing, e.g.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/alleged-followers-of-boogaloo-movement-face-charges-linked-to-protests-11592920008

 The piece from June 23, p. A4, details how assorted right wing renegades  (including Steven Carrillo, facing charges for murdering a Santa Cruz sheriff's deputy)  have now been apprehended and will be held to account, including members of the "Boogaloo Bois" I'd earlier cited as the real fascist culprits AG Bill Barr ought to be turning his spotlight on, e.g.

As opposed to the members of Antifa, who Barr - reckless with accusations as usual (even creating an anti-government task force")-   sought to turn into the nation's No. 1 Public Enemy and Boogeyman Even triggering hysteria amongst the Red state dregs, i.e.

At his Mount Rushmore culture war slime fest, which would have done Hitler proud (in one of his dozens of bellicose efforts), Trump barked:

"We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation's children, end this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life."

And:

"In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance."

The preceding just two samples of the tons of palpable brain sewage hurled out by the man of sewage.  A disingenuous and ignorant maggot buffoon who clearly has no remote idea of fascism.     As a CNN piece  by Chris Cillizza aptly  replied:

"I   looked up the definition of "fascism." It's this: "A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

And let me complement that with this earlier 1983 American Heritage Dictionary  definition:

"A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."

Which fits Trump and his reprobates to a tee, including Bill Barr. But why be surprised when this traitor with pretensions to extending his reign (and forging a real fascist dictatorship)  doesn't even read his critical daily intel briefs, e.g.

http://brane-space.blogspot.com/2020/06/why-cias-best-really-have-little-use.html

The man, then, is merely the embodiment of  fascist slime,  a Divider- in- chief, and seamless traitor to boot. A low class demagogue grifter and psychotic who needs to feed his deplorable base  incessant hate and division to have any chance at staying in office and not being put turfed into the nearest federal prison for his crimes.  A pestilence who yet seeks to use the office to enrich himself at the expense of the people, i.e.

Shock Doctrine in Action: Trump Friends, Former Staff Cash in on Covid-19 Crisis

Even as he lets Americans perish by the tens of thousands from his inaction on the virus.  

Incredibly, the WSJ editorial yesterday  ('Trump at Mount Rushmore', p. A16) remains in a delusional bubble even within its own paper, babbling:

"Dark? In most respects Trump's speech was a familiar Fourth Of July ode to liberty and U.S.  achievement that any President might have delivered.."

Adding:

"Contrary to the media reporting, the America Mr. Trump described is one of genuine racial equality and diversity, as he highlighted the central ideals of the Declaration of Independence that 'all men are created equal'"

Which reinforces my take that tunnel vision in the service of ideology - especially on the op-ed pages dictated by Rupert Murdoch - can be an effective means to blind both the author(s) and the public ingesting this piffle.  First, because it is directly contradicted by the WSJ's main story on the event (p. A4 yesterday) which pointedly noted (for the benefit of the Journal's editorial nabobs who likely didn't read it):

"The president's effort to exploit cultural divides is a familiar tactic, recalling the 'American carnage' he described in his inaugural address."

Further it is preposterous for the WSJ editors to try to portray Trump  "defending America's founding principles" when at the same time he's viscerally and deliberately denouncing one group of citizens to another  - and employing, lies, historical distortion and monumental (no pun intended) dog whistles and gaslighting to do so.  Absolutely, this was not any speech any other president might have delivered. No way in hell. It was a performance - more like a red meat for a rally -   demagogue swill, that a Hitler or Jim Jones might have let loose. It was, when all is said and done, an insult to all the preceding decent presidents, as well as to the soldiers (like  my Revolutionary War ancestors) who fought for the real principles underlying the Declaration.   Which this fungal-infested orange garbage has not the slightest inkling of.

So there is little doubt in my mind, both Conrad and Jockel Brumbaugh - if they beheld his performances the past week - would see him for what he is:


And want him hung from the nearest tree.  They'd know that all the authoritarian or fulsome faux patriot banter disgorged by this orange -tinted Turd can't disguise he is a traitor.

• Trump's sad, empty and tragic July 4th 

Excerpt:

"We are now reduced to bitterly watching a small, stupid, petulant excuse of a man conjuring up racial bogeymen for the cynical purpose of turning Americans against each other.

The fact that Donald Trump would travel to Mt. Rushmore for yet another opportunity to fan the flames of racism to an audience of white supporters frothing at the mouth at his culture-war catcalls is more than simply dispiriting—it’s pathetic. The fact that he and yet another of his stupid Republican lackeys—this one occupying the South Dakota Governor’s Residence—would make a point of pride out of the fact that this audience would not be burdened with taking any health precaution, in the midst of a pandemic that has already erased 130,000 American lives isn’t just perverse—it’s pitiable.

The fact that Trump barely mentioned the worst public health crisis to strike this country in over a century to an audience crammed together on zip-tied folding chairs, breathing, coughing and shouting in each other’s faces isn’t just sick—it’s malignant. The fact that he twisted a nation, riven for weeks by protests against police injustice, into an argument for white supremacy and more violence isn’t just disgusting—it’s revolting. "

Trump's 'Meet & Greet' With Kim Was Not "Historic" But Pathetic U.S. Debasement - And Why He Merits No July 4th Celebration

"I'm a traitor but I'm gonna have the Fourth Of July celebrated in my honor"

"Narcissistic, infantile and heedless of tradition, Trump is now yanking away the one day devoted to celebrating all Americans and rebranding it in his own image. It’s one thing to have the TRUMP sign on a hotel or winery. It’s another to slap it on the face of the nation."  - Maureen Dowd, 

"This is front loaded for Kim. We've given him the benefit of sitting next to a U.S. president and gotten nothing in return. Trump is actually rewarding Kim for behavior we haven't seen yet.  And as for inviting Kim to the White House I would hope you wouldn't see that unless there is an agreement." - Former national security adviser Fran Townsend, on CBS this a.m.

"Trump denounces the press as “the enemy of the people,” derides his critics as treasonous and openly fawns over an autocrat whose modern-day gulags practice extermination, torture and sexual violence. "  Greg Weiner, NY Times today

"This isn’t going to be recorded in North Korea’s history as a benign US ‘invitation’ to a meeting, but rather as Washington trying to curry Pyongyang’s favor to win face-time with the Dear Leader,”"  -  Soo Kim, a policy analyst at Rand Corporation and a former CIA analyst, in The Financial Times.

 One of the hallmarks for treason defined in the Constitution is "giving aid and comfort" to one's enemies. Yesterday, Trump did just that when he stepped over the line - literally- into North Korea and stated openly he was "HONORED" to do so, as he greeted the most bloodthirsty tyrant from the most brutal regime on the planet.   And yet there he was giving aid and comfort to Kim Jong -Un in spades as he drooled over the little butcher making a spectacle in front of the brain -jacked U.S. media.

This odious degenerate, especially after his canoodling with autocrats at the G20,  definitely tried to outdo that prelude by seeking (via tweet) a meet and greet with the biggest murderer on the planet.  The narcissistic, sociopath swine obviously believes he is bigger than the nation.  Indeed, when Janice screeched, "He's winning, you know!" I agreed and replied, "Yep, because our national,  uncritical, fawning media has its collective head all the way up his ass."   As opposed to recoiling in horror at the sorry spectacle, our illustrious, "conscientious"  press covered it as an "historical event" - when it was nothing of the sort. It was pure narcissistic PR showmanship for Trump's ego, and also did not accomplish one damned thing, not one!  Excuse me, it elevated Kim Jong -Un to a stature equal to an American president (so to speak) on the world stage.  In the process, legitimizing a ruthless mass butcher and his malignant regime, while hurling this country under the geopolitical bus.  Giving aid and comfort to an enemy that even now is refining more nuclear materials for its ICBMs - soon to be aimed at U.S. cities.

Hell, even as he sought  bogus "rapprochement" in the form of more ego- stroking from Kim, North Korea has produced enough fuel for a half-dozen additional nuclear weapons, according to one study. In May, it launched short-range missiles in violation of United Nations resolutions.   Meanwhile, by his crossing into North Korea - and asking Kim's permission- he has further debased the U.S. as he elevated the brutal tyrant's standing in the world while getting nothing back.  Oh, other than a faint 'promise' things will lead to a more concrete nuclear deal.  Don't hold your breath! North Korea has no intention of giving up its existing nukes and instead has received cover from Trump to produce even more 

Aid and comfort to an enemy - for which technically hostilities have not abated since the end of the Korean War.   And wait for it, this traitor actually fancies having a 4th of July celebration around him!  As Kamala Harris chided: “I think the president needs to realize it’s America’s birthday, not his birthday.”

Apparently underwhelmed by the way the nation’s Capitol has celebrated in years past — key events are now to include the National Independence Day Parade down Constitution Avenue, a free concert on the West Lawn of the Capitol and fireworks over the National Mall .  And Traitor Trump,  firm pal of the most brutal dictator on the world scene, is injecting himself into the celebration. While details are still being hammered out, the Trumpites have been working for months on plans for the Traitor to deliver an address from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial..Imagine Adolf Hitler coming back from the grave and doing it, that's about how Janice and I feel.

Organizers of the traditional celebration are stressing that Trump's speech will be a separate event that will not interfere with the rest of the party. But back in February, Dotard claimed credit for the entire turbocharged affair in a tweet urging Americans to “HOLD THE DATE” for “one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, DC.”

He is calling this farce “A Salute to America,” featuring a “major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!”

Only a turd like Trump would try to steal some of the day’s glory for himself — to make this, at least in part, “A Salute to Donald Trump”.  But in hijacking America’s birthday, Trump is doing more than merely indulging his petty narcissism. He is trampling on a longstanding tradition of keeping these events nonpartisan — apolitical even — and focused on bringing the nation together.  For decades, Washington’s Fourth of July tribute has aimed to play down or paper over political divisions and celebrate America — not any particular leader or party.

Worse, after indulging a brutal mass- murdering dictator,  effectively committing treason in plain view -  like when he begged Russia to hack HRC's emails 3 years ago -  he expects those of us who are sane and really love this nation to partake in this self-serving fiasco.   Which to us amounts to conferring benediction and approval on his every action and word - from honoring the most brutal regime in the world, to validating his caging and maltreatment of migrant kids to his threats against the press - accusing the NY Times (for example) of treason.

No, all the treason is on this sorry SOB whether our own forlorn, blinkered media can see it or not. It seems, alas, bloggers now have to do the critical work once left to the press and media who - as Janice put it - have fallen into  Trump's orbit.

Let us try to grasp how abnormal  this whole planned extravaganza is, recognizing the incipient power to distract, not to mention incite.  And we already know Traitor Trump is capable of doing this because of his very sociopathic nature.  This is also why hitherto our sane previous presidents have opted to absent themselves from the events. They understand the day is for citizens to celebrate their country, not for them to interject themselves to sow divisions and hate.  Hence, they don’t appear on stage at  concerts. They don’t preside over the fireworks. They certainly don’t grab themselves a prime-time speaking slot. Especially they don't on the National Mall, in front of the monument to arguably America’s greatest president. Where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the “I Have a Dream” speech.

If we do have to suffer the spectacle of this maggot and his execrable persona it is only fitting we maybe borrow the 'Twitter Troll Trump" balloon from Londoners and fly it wherever Dotard tries to steal the nation's thunder. To remind every citizen what this infant is really about'. Himself, not the country.

Trump  baby brat balloon of the type we need for the 4th to counter any Trump celebrations.

Remember his failed efforts to organize a military parade down the streets of Washington? Now we know they've been revived from a story in  today's Washington Post.  Trump is now insisting on having military tanks on the mall for a Fourth of July parade, desecrating the day fully with autocrat insanity. . It appears that the newsreels of Hitler saluting similar Panzer tanks in parade has totally gone to his rotten, orange head.

No question,  traitor Trump loves a good spectacle — the bigger the better-   and he also believes the spectacle will provide cover for him as a traitor and piece of proto-human garbage.. He was clearly thrilled with the elaborate tributes that other nations have paid him on his overseas visits. Now, he has found a way to manufacture a similar tribute here at home, and he’s not going to let a little thing like tradition ruin this priceless branding opportunity, at American taxpayers' expense. (Estimated cost: $18 m)  But in truth his only brand ought to be traitor, e.g.

Fortunately,  the backlash has begun.  In the words of Representative Gerald Connolly, a Democrat from suburban Virginia.

“He can’t resist injecting partisan politics into the most nonpartisan sacred American holiday there is: the Fourth of July,” 


Adding: "It's part of a pattern of driving wedges between Americans and making himself the subject of attention.”

The National Park Service, the Secret Service and local law enforcement are scrambling to work out the security and logistical challenges of a presidential appearance. The fireworks are being moved from the usual location at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a local park, to allow for bigger crowds to assemble at the site of the president’s speech. The display is also being extended by a couple of minutes, allowing Trump to brag of the biggest show ever.

And look, while this is far from the most significant political norm that Trump has shattered in the course of his presidency it is depressing nonetheless. The greatness of America does not reside with its president, but with its people.   It is this spirit that the annual celebration in the nation’s capital has endeavored to preserve. Until now.  But see, Trump seeks to subjugate the people like his hero of the moment, Kim Jong Un, does with his - even dispatching them to brutal concentration camps.

We know this is true especially with his cavorting with Kim, Putin and Prince Mohammad bid Salman (Jamal Khashoggi's killer)  In the last case, Trump gushed about the Saudi butcher being "my good friend"  (WSJ today, p. A7) even as other members of the G20 shunned him.

Trump thereby has shown he fancies himself the equal of butchers who have the power to slaughter journalists and protesters at will.  He is a scum and traitor, and as my Revolutionary War ancestor Conrad Brumbaugh would agree, merits a hanging  - at least in effigy on the Washington Mall -  not a parade,  fireworks and  campaign -style speechifying!  This is the only July 4th spectacle I'd look forward to:


Failing that, I will take a massive thunderstorm of biblical proportions to wipe out all Trump's fireworks, phony pageantry and vanity display --  maybe a few good lightning bolts too - to wake his sorry ass up to his real responsibilities. Which are not displaying tanks and having jet fighter flyovers to make him believe he's the 2nd coming of Adolf Hitler.

After his one hour confab with Kim, Trump blurted to the press (which had earlier been jostled North Korean style by its thug security forces):

“Certainly, this was a great day; this was a very legendary, very historic day"

No, it was one of the saddest, most deplorable days in American history, which will rival Neville Chamberlain's abject kowtowing to Hitler nearly 80 years earlier.  Only a  Trumpie MAGA moron or traitor sympathizer would use the effusive and exaggerated language Traitor Trump did.

Evil Doings: Fuck the Trump 4th

Excerpt:

"Home of the free and land of the brave." Does that phrase ring hollow in your ears? It does in mine. Each day for the past 30 months or so, it has felt more and more like I'm a hostage in my own country, like the people in Putin's Russia or Kim's North Korea, or ABM's Saudi Arabia, places that condone the severest restrictions on the press, that rule through intimidation, fear, and brutality, where dissent can get you killed. It might seem an exaggeration to say we're that far gone, but not by much. Trump, Bannon, and an international league of fascists are driving us toward that cliff, and who among us doesn't believe that a purloined and tampered-with election is almost sure to plummet us toward a death dive for democracy, for First Amendment protections of our freedoms, and for the rule of law."
