Malignant Power-Hungry Idiots Breaking Everything They Touch - Including America

Facing Quarreling Powerless Democrats, Dazed and Confused

PETER ON THE WRITERS’ HANGOUT PODCAST!

Give me a cadre of previously-ignored computer nerds, soaking wet behind the ears, pay them six figures, who are led by a charismatic (to them anyway) mega-billionaire suffering, in my opinion, from Aspergers Syndrome (expert in narrow fields like physics and engineering, but not in government or human relations)… and tell them they have the power to cut jobs, agencies, vendors to slice an unrealistic $2 trillion from the federal government. Insert picture of nerds rubbing their hands together, cackling at their power.

What do you get? Furious Americans from those who know Musk is intent on cutting Social Security (he calls it the biggest Ponzi scheme in America), Medicare and Medicaid while decimating staffing to that agency, to veterans who are watching similar staffing cuts in VA hospitals that were already overcrowded, to happy fat cats who know that staffing cuts at the IRS pretty assure that they won’t get audited, to delighted scammers, polluters and brutal employers who know the government agencies formed to control such horribles are either being defunded or shut down altogether or to discharged researchers find cures for cancel and other diseases. Obvious result: Majorie Taylor Greene enraptured; red state elected officials in hog heaven. Really? See below.

But these devious souls are finding ways to hide the truth, by simply lying or, more conveniently referencing “national security” to reject any inquiry as to the underlying facts. “The Trump administration told a federal judge on Monday night [3/24] that it would not disclose any further information about two flights of Venezuelan migrants it sent to El Salvador this month despite a court order to turn back the planes, declaring that doing so would jeopardize state secrets…

“For almost 10 days, the judge, James E. Boasberg of the Federal District Court in Washington, has been trying to get the Trump administration to give him information about the two flights in an effort to determine whether officials allowed them to continue on to El Salvador in violation of his order to have them return to the United States… But in a patent act of defiance, the Justice Department told Judge Boasberg that giving him any further information about the flights — which the Trump administration maintains were carrying members of a Venezuelan street gang called Tren de Aragua — would ‘undermine or impede future counterterrorism operations.’” Even as there is mounting proof that several deportees sitting in brutal Salvadoran prisons were neither members of that notorious gang nor ever convicted of any crime.

Note that congressional efforts to limit and control what kinds of decisions federal judges are permitted to make fly in the face of the constitutional separation of powers. Chief Justice John Roberts’ admonition against impeaching or otherwise limiting federal courts was not said in jest! If you’re wondering whether we are in a constitutional crisis, pretty clearly yes! For those who worry about leaking national security information in a court, the judge has the power to keep such information secure. Not that security seems to be a high priority anyway as an insecure mass interactive DNI text/chat inadvertently added a journalist to the advanced planning of the attack on Yemeni Houthis.

Not only is Greenland likely to remain either independent or part of Denmark, the Panama Canal will stay as part of Panama, and there is no shot that any part of Canada (much less the whole) will become part of the United States, although there is reverse yearning from “Cascadia” (shorthand for the American west coast) to join Canada. Whether its about playing tariff/sanctions game, withdrawing from international trade agreements and treaties, softly quitting NATO, fabricating violations from our once longstanding allies, there are no nations on earth that really trust the United States anymore, a trust that is not easily restored. And no, Donald, we do not want to become part of the British Commonwealth even if King Charles asks.

Is Europe even still an American ally at all? In fact, the more EU nations stand in favor of Ukraine and oppose American heavy-handed threats, the more popular their leaders are. In a recent poll, 74% of EU citizens believe that their country’s EU membership has truly benefited them, the highest such rating since the EU was formed. Canada and the UK have new liberal PMs, as their conservative parties (with close ties to Trump) went from almost certain victory to massive defeat in flames, all in reaction to Trump’s threats. Tourism to the United States is down; Americans traveling to once open entry to allied nations are facing new entry forms and approvals.

If you need evidence of our grassroots’ rejection of Elon Musk and his band if killer nerds, of Trump’s imperious takeover over Congress with the federal judiciary in his crosshairs, just look at the record-breaking turnouts at town halls (often “virtual” when elected Republicans fail to show up), the “fight oligarchs” tour by Bernie Sanders and AOC, and read the signs. How often do you see liberals and veterans holding up the same signs at the same gatherings?

As the fractious Democrats dither, their constituents are angry at the simmering nothingness of the Democratic responses. Are Dems scared of turning off the same fat cats who fund their campaign coffers, when they know most Americans do not want to become second class citizens to billionaires seeking tax cuts at their expense… as Trump’s appointees stumble at every level except blindly following their leader.

I’m Peter Dekom, and where are the Democrats, where is the million-citizen freedom and democracy march on Washington, D.C. with signs opposing the Trump/Musk cabal of autocrats and oligarchs… putting the fear of God (of continuing to hold office, at least) in the hearts of elected members of Congress who seem to have forgotten and abandoned their constituents in favor of a Trumpian dictatorship.
