"NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government" says a YouTube commenter on the latest #LegalEagle video.

How is that not already a #TheOnion headline?

Answer: Because it was a headline in #TheShovel back in 2020, for an article that was mysteriously removed in March of this year.

The Shovel · NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government — The Shovel“This is the one we’ve been talking about! Damn it!”

#Australian #financial #journalist #AlanKohler of @ABC has been the only commentator I've heard today who hasn't tried to #sanewash the #BatShitCrazy effluent coming out of the mouth of the world's most dangerous man.

Kohler doesn't hold back. He describes #Trump as a man with "zero expertise" who "doesn't know what he's doing". He describes the way that the #tarriffs were calculated as "bonkers".

When they come to throw you into the #gulag Alan I'll proudly share a cell with you.

I wonder how bad it has to get before it gets through to *everyone* that the global economy is in the hands of a person with a string of failed businesses, convictions for falsified business records, and a track record of playing a business magnate, who mainly fires people, on the telly, to xyr name.

And organizing beauty contests in Russia. And sharpies.

And xyr mate who pisses away billions for a laugh and shoots Tesla in the gut with fascist salutes.

Continued thread

What with entire government departments (e.g. USAID, USED) being shuttered and no Congressionally allocated funds being paid out, and huge tax hikes in the form of all of these extra #tariffs, no-one seems to be asking where all of this extra revenue and unspent appropriation is going.

What are the Department of Dodgy boys, with their fingers in the government spending computers, doing with it?

This is the third executive writ of attainder being imposed upon a U.S.A. law firm in 2 weeks, resulting from a personal grudge by #DonaldJTrump .

Observe the collusive silence that continues to emanate from most other U.S.A. law firms.

First they came for Perkins Coie, then they came for Paul Weiss, now they have come for Jenner & Block. And the lawyers did not speak out even though they *are* lawyers.

A very good point is made elsethread, that the #DonaldJTrump Administration is *already* ignoring the 4th Amendment when it comes to seizure of bank accounts by people that had contracts with the federal government.

In normal times, the lack of Miranda warning would be the really damaging problem for prosecutors. But the United States *now* has federal prosecutors like Ed Martin willing to bring blatant politically-motivated prosecutions under colour of law.

"Trump vows to find, apprehend and deport student 'terrorist sympathizers'
Donald Trump pledges to deport pro-Palestinian protesters"
- #DonaldJTrump is again short-circuiting for its convenience. Pro-Palestinian is not the same as anti-Semite. Pro-Palestinian is not the same as pro-Hamas. There are spectra like any human beliefs. #Trump #MAGA #GOP dumbs down complex matters into a black-and-white. That scheme is that of #authoritarian regimes’. And it is very dangerous.
