I mean, one seems like too many to me, but the very serious pushback that’s happening shouldn’t be ignored. In very red, rural areas there are a shocking amount of people pushing back hard on the fascist parts of the T**** administration’s agenda. It turns out that even Republican voters - even T**** voters - aren’t OK with fascism. Let’s not lose sight of that, or that the numbers of actual supporters of fascism are a minority of a minority. And probably a minority of that, even.
Which is of course the result of misinformation campaigns and the outright lies that have been told not just by MAGA Republicans but by the media, too. Voters were sold a bill of goods and they are pissed that it was all a lie.
Bokassa it was who had quite the catalogue of self ordained titles, much like Idi Amin (conqueror of the British Empire IIRC), but my favourite was something like Grand Wizard of the Order of Knights of Stamp Collecting.
Soon he’ll be showing up at parades with several flunkies whose chests are required to display his vast collection of military medals.
He’ll just declare himself the recipient of the honor. Soon after he can award himself the title of Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas. I wonder when he’ll try to claim to be the king of Scotland?
from that link (kindly proffered by @sqlrob) we learn:
The US president will arrive at the much-anticipated meeting with his Russian
counterpart on Friday armed with a number of money-making opportunities for
Putin.
They will include opening up Alaska’s natural resources to Moscow and lifting
some of the American sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry, The Telegraph
can reveal.
Proposals include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the
Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia.
so… giving putin Alaska’s and Ukraine’s natural resources so that putin will stop warring to steal the land above Ukraine’s natural resources? how do the current citizens of Alaska and Ukraine feel about having their valuable mineral riches handed away to stop a warring murdering monster? Would seem to putin that he seek a similar bargain by attacking yet another country?
Giving Alaskan resources to Putin so he’ll stop attacking Ukraine? I bet that’ll go over real well with Alaskans. And with, I hope, MAGAts, though I realize nothing sways some of them from faith in King Tramp.
Washington, D.C., has one of the Highest Rates of Crime in the World, more than many of the most violent Third World Countries. The City’s Homicide Rate is higher than places notorious for their violence, such as Mexico City, Bogota, Islamabad, and Addis Ababa — Almost ten times higher than Fallujah, Iraq. If D.C. were a State, it would have the highest Homicide Rate of any State in America. The Violent Crime Rate in D.C. has worsened, and the Murder Rate has essentially DOUBLED in just over a decade — But these are only the “official” statistics released by corrupt City Officials. The REAL numbers are many times worse. In fact, a Precinct Commander was just suspended for allegedly manipulating the Violent Crime Statistics, and the D.C. Police Union, likewise, says the real numbers are much higher. Because the Democrat Government of D.C. has largely stopped investigating, arresting, and prosecuting most Crime, the published statistics don’t even capture a fraction of the actual Violence. No one is arrested for shoplifting. Citizens living in fear have largely given up on calling the Police, instead choosing not to walk the streets after dark, essentially becoming captive prisoners in their own City. Stores lock up their merchandise behind glass walls. Gang Youth Violence is so common it goes largely unreported. Vehicle Theft in D.C. is more than three times the National Average. Schools are completely dysfunctional. Citizens are afraid to speak up or, call the Police, lest they be targeted. The REAL Crime Rates are probably five to ten times what has been reported. D.C. has been under siege from thugs and killers, but now, D.C. is back under Federal Control where it belongs. The White House is in charge. The Military and our Great Police will liberate this City, scrape away the filth, and make it safe, clean, habitable and beautiful once more!
