Never thought

Hi Everyone!

Well, it's done. I try not to be political on my blog. However, this week is something I never thought I would see in my country. An evil regime that has taken over without a fight or even a whimper. I have read people on FB say well in 2 years we can re vote the house and in 4 years get rid of him. I laugh, I cry, I scream at these imbeciles. We will never be able to vote again. Not a free election. He already has in place that he and his family and billionaire club will rule this country for as long as they want.

Of course, you have the right to vote for whoever you want. Well, not anymore. But, seriously, are you so stupid you didn't see the blatant hate and evil in him? You just thought it was OK with everything he does and did? From the beginning you said,

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/)

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...)

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/.../list-trumps-accusers.../story...)

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../donald-trumps.../)

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/)

That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...)

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../americas-first.../549794/)

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/)

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...)

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...)

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/)

 
And then we have this, and you applauded and cheered.

We are worried in Canada too

It's scary. He's a liar and he doesn't care about anyone other than himself. You know this though. It's a very dark and scary time.

People are sleepwalking into an authoritarian future. Those of us who understand the signs and what they portend will someday have the cold comfort of being able to say "I told you so" but it will be too late then.

Welcome to the evil regime.

...the circus has come to town!

thanks!

I cringed watching. Musk´s gesture was interpreted "from the heart only", but then the palm would´ve been up, not down. Others said, don´t forget his Autism, he didn´t do that on purpose...
Nah.... I´m not convinced. Scary times ahead, for all of us.

As it often is, the common folk must content themselves with the results of democracy, even when its true essence appears distorted.

The die is now cast. And as we have seen, you can commit heinous crimes, take part in an insurrection, beat up the police and receive a pardon for your actions. The country you knew has gone forever.

Rita said...

How can they not see who this man and his loyalists are? Yes!! He has let us know every step of the way. They even wrote the destroy democracy plan out in great detail. I don't think he/they plan to give up power once they are in now, either. Makes my soul shudder.

Mae Travels said...

That is unfortunately a remarkably pointed collection of factual anecdotes. You did a great job with this doleful situation.

Gene Black said...

I am very concerned about our country

Jeanie said...

I agree with every single word you say here. It is absolutely frightening. He's very dangerous and has no soul.

Giorgio said...

mmm ... I'm afraid that billionaire club and investment companies' elite have been managing the US and its vassals since long time.
Obviously, it is not nice to have a president who is famous for fraudulent University or sexual abuse. I agree on this. But many A American tourists, who I hosted last summer, said that both sides, republicans and democrats, are pulled by different puppeteers/predators.

During the election campaign Trump threatened to impose up to 60 percent tariffs on Chinese goods, intensifying an ongoing trade war. Easy to see that the majority of American voters agree on this.

Take care, Nicole!

DVArtist said...

Yes, we all know that money has paid for our so called democracy. However, it is now thrown in our faces with musk telling the pres what to do. Tariffs on goods from anywhere is not the real problem is it?

DVArtist said...

Good point, Iris. Even if he did it wrong the meaning was there, the message was there. Scary times for sure.

baili said...

Such decisions are made by those behind curtain trying control the world.i bet it wasn’t public decision at all yet he is in the White House and forever maybe 🤔
Painful and scary details you shared here oh my God
Just wondering about everything??????????????……

NatureFootstep said...

I don´t understand why they voted him back. A criminal man!! With his own agenda. But it was even worse to see Musk by his side. I thought Musk was SPACE, not searching power in politics. I´s a disaster. :(
