The Great Dictator

I think the guy’s serious. He’s not bound by laws. He thinks he can do what he likes with impunity. I hope he’s wrong! Sooner or later it will catch up with him.

He is such a narcissistic megalomaniac that he not only wants to be the dictator of the USA he wants to be dictator of the whole world. He thinks he can do anything. The US military is his toy in a big game of Risk.

Free Speech! Stop the Genocide!!

Seems you can be arrested for protesting in the USA these days!!

You have to toe Trump’s line or you’re done!

Rioting, attacking the Capitol, killing people and looking to loot and kill the democratic politicians is pardonable.

Burning one of fellow-fascist Elon’s cars is terrorism. How can that be?

This is what dictatorship looks like. They’ll be concentration camps next!!

Fascist MAGA and Trump try to bypass Democracy – Pulled up by Judge! He doesn’t have the power he likes to think he has! He’s not a King!

BREAKING: Federal judge deals Donald Trump a huge black eye by ruling that he illegally fired the head of the National Labor Relations Board, accusing him of “pushing the bounds of his office,” and declaring that he is “not a king.”

This is a major setback for the fascist MAGA movement…

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the widely criticized firing of NLRB head Gwynne Wilcox was in fact “an illegal act” and “a blatant violation of the law.”

In her lawsuit, Wilcox pointed out that federal law clearly stats that NLRB board members can only be terminated for “neglect of duty or malfeasance in office but for no other cause.” Notice must be given and a hearing held.

“The President’s excuse for his illegal act cannot be sustained,” Judge Howell wrote in a fiery 36-page ruling.

“The President seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law to test how much the courts will accept the notion of a presidency that is supreme,” she wrote.

“An American President is not a king – not even an ‘elected’ one – and his power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants like plaintiff is not absolute, but may be constrained in appropriate circumstances, as are present here,” she added.

The judge’s order reinstates Kaplan as a board member to the NLRB although it does allow Trump’s new chairperson Marvin Kaplan to remain in place.

The MAGA Justice Department will appeal the ruling to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. If there’s any legitimacy left in our judicial institutions, Trump will lose again.

Are Executive orders Democratic?

Isn’t the process of democracy about democratically elected representatives debating the rights and wrongs of proposed laws?

Don’t executive orders merely bypass the democratic process?

Isn’t this more the actions of a Dictator rather than an elected President?

Medieval Russia – the land of barbarity!

It’s like the Russian leadership haven’t moved on. They are still stuck in the kind of warfare that existed back in the days of the 2nd World War. Instead of fighting battles with the military you bomb and bombard the general public into dust hoping to break their resolve. Hitler tried it with the blitz. Putin tried it with Aleppo and now this one-trick pony is trying to do the same to Ukraine.

There is no doubt it’s a war crime.

Putin is deliberately targeting civilians.

Torture chambers, executions and terror. That’s all the evil KGB trained psychopaths know.

Where’s the UN?

What does this say about India, China, Iran and Belarus (plus those Republican politicians) who are prepared to back this maniac?

The Rat

The Rat

Beware the Rat!

                Pushed into a corner

                                He flies for the jugular.

Putting aside

                All fear and reason

                                He blindly hits out.

When there is no escape route

                Desperation

                                Calls the tune.

When it is existential

                There are no limits

                                Reason dies.

Opher – 3.3.2022

Putin’s error in attacking Ukraine has produced an existential crisis. If he backs down he is lost. If he continues it is disaster. He has no way out.

Putin is backed into a corner.

The Russian army is shelling a nuclear power station. Does it get much more insane??

Has World War Three already started?

Will nuclear missiles we the next irrational stupidity?
