Steve's Place<p>Trump won again after this speech. The generals and admirals promised us they would do something to stop a traitor. They swore mighty oaths to defend a piece of paper they've apparently never bothered to read.</p><p>Protect America from a traitor? They salute one. Every single one of them. Every opportunity that presents itself. Hand to the head. A sign of great respect for the gangster, 34-time convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a Hitler-fawning Nazi like dear, dear Harlan Crow, the plantation owner of SCOTUS.</p><p>A general lied to the American people, and a general will do it again for the brotherhood.</p><p>We're just here so the Nazis have people to torment. They have the money. They own congress. They bought SCOTUS. They turned the White House into the Kremlin West.</p><p>America, like Israel, eagerly looks forward to murdering everyone within its borders the Nazis with all of the money, all of the government, all of the evangelical frauds, all of the power, choose to murder at the whims of Stephen Miller, top fascist aide to Donald "The Con" Trump.</p><p>Fuck you, America. You're dead by a bullet to the head with a swastika on it, wrapped in a crypto scam.</p><p>As the generals gave speeches and the Democrats wagged fingers and told us to shut up. Hillary would win. Go, centrists.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>When examining the GOP's homicidal class war budget reconciliation bill, I think it's crucial to also look at why this horrible Frankenstein's monster that now exceeds a thousand pages, is being stitched together in secret and released under the cover of darkness. The fact is Republican strategists know that voting to rob and murder labor class Americans to empower and enrich billionaire broligarch nazis, while legally enshrining a fascist administrative order over US life to defend these changes, is not going to be popular with the American people once they figure out what this bullshit mega-bill actually does. Furthermore, given that there's absolutely nothing subtle about the ways the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" transforms our society at a pen stroke, it is impossible for GOP politicians to lie and deflect their way through discussions about the bill; so they'd simply prefer you didn't know about all the awful shit inside it.</p><p>Fortunately however there are a lot of groups forensically dissecting the GOP's budget reconciliation bill, which may well be the worst piece of legislation I've ever seen the US House actually pass. Take for example recent analysis by Public Citizen showing that by forgoing the proposed increases to US military spending and ballooning funding for the Trump regime's objectively illegal and unconstitutional mass deportation program, the government could keep literally millions of labor class Americans (already being ground up by capitalism) from losing healthcare and food assistance through Medicaid and SNAP. </p><p><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/gop-bills-militarized-funding-boost-could-instead-keep-millions-on-medicaid/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/gop-bill</span><span class="invisible">s-militarized-funding-boost-could-instead-keep-millions-on-medicaid/</span></a></p><p>GOP Bill’s Militarized Funding Boost Could Instead Keep Millions on Medicaid</p><p>"According to a report released Thursday by Public Citizen, the reconciliation bill proposes a boost of over $163 billion to militarized spending, including funds for the Pentagon and for the Department of Homeland Security’s mass deportation campaign. This would bring the Pentagon’s yearly budget to over $1 trillion and triple the budget for mass immigration detention, the report says.</p><p>Further, this funding boost alone could more than fund Medicaid for nearly 14 million people at risk of losing their health care coverage under the reconciliation bill, as well as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, for 11 million who may lose food assistance under the bill.</p><p>Shifting funding away from these lifesaving programs and instead allocating it to militarization is effectively “trading life for death,” the report says.</p><p>“This reconciliation package is a direct redistribution of resources from struggling Americans to the Pentagon and militarization,” said Lindsay Koshgarian, report co-author and Program Director at the National Priorities Project, in a statement. “Protecting families from losing health care and going hungry is as simple as rejecting new spending on dangerous and unnecessary weapons and indiscriminate mass deportations.”</p><p>The purpose of producing reports like this one is to demonstrate that the Regime is actively choosing to prioritize militarization, violence, and white supremacy over the healthcare and food security of labor class Americans; if somehow massive tax cuts that benefit only the top 10% of Americans, and primarily enrich the literal top 1% of earners in the country, while stacking almost another four trillion (with a t) dollars onto the debt, didn't make the point abundantly clear - this should. Naturally, this kind of analysis is rarely going to be featured in corporate media which largely supports a trillion dollar pentagon budget, and funding for militarized policing (of a particular flavor), so it behooves Americans who're aware of this objectively fascist bullshit to share this information widely; hence, this post.</p><p>If we step back to examine the broader picture here however, it's difficult to ignore the message this entire bill sends about what these nazi sociopaths want for our collective future. This is a bill that signs the death certificate for thousands, if not millions of labor class Americans, in order to enrich and empower a ruling class that bought itself a fascist government to prosecute the final stages of a real-as-fuck Pig Empire class war; while actively funding and drastically increasing the Trump regime's ability to prosecute that homicidal agenda by force, both within and beyond American borders. As the planet turns to ash, our civil rights are eroded across the entire Pig Empire, and fascist movements identify an ever-expanding circle of "others" who must be targeted for elimination, passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is an open signal by the ruling fascist party in America that they are preparing to wage, and win, that war immediately; and if the dystopian future they clearly envision for us is any indication, these nazis are playing for keeps.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ReconciliationBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReconciliationBill</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BillionaireBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BillionaireBill</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClassWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Theft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Theft</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Murder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Murder</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Migrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Migrants</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MassDeportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MassDeportation</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Pentagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pentagon</span></a></p>

These aren’t your run-of-the-mill Trump-era bigotry, but some real old-school expert-level hatred. Much of this centers on the notorious historic lynching of Jewish-American man Leo Frank, who in 1913 was accused of the murder of a 13-year-old girl, kidnapped from prison in 1915, and lynched by an angry mob.</p><p>A century on from his death and Frank’s fate remains a hot topic. Historians now generally agree that Frank was wrongly convicted, with his lynching spurring the creation of the Anti-Defamation League and being a key factor in the rise of the 20th-century Ku Klux Klan.</p><p>But the Pentagon’s new press secretary sounds like she’d have been an eager member of the mob that lynched Frank.
