Trump is expected to announce Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy

Re-upping my story on Elon Musk and Miller's ties

The WSJ reported that Elon Musk gave $50 million to a Stephen Miller nonprofit (ironically called Citizens for Sanity) and my research shows that Miller's nonprofits spent $90 million on media contractors

I suspect we'll be reading lots of ""I never thought leopards would eat MY face" stories now, sad to say.

"After winning historic # of Latinos,Trump names as border czar man who told 60 Minutes he would avoid family separation in mass deportation by also removing US citizen kids w/undocumented parents. (There are 4m such Latino kids.)"

~ Ronald Brownstein as quotes by Greg Dworkin

"How media ‘fluff’ helped Hitler rise to power."

"By the end of the 1930s, news stories around the world described him as a caring, gentle individual with great taste in home décor."

The media hates educating the public about the disgusting stuff the Right says, with Senator Ralph Babet being the latest example.

The surging bitcoin price suggests to me that those in the shadow ecnomy that it mostly funds & facilitates see the Trump win as good for business....

And what is good for the bitcoin economy, it strikes me, is unlikely to be in the general good.

There may be constructive & socially useful purposes behind bitcoin use but it seems those are swamped by the dark economy that uses it to hide its exchanges & activities.

Of course I could be wrong & I'm sure you'll tell me if I am

ICYMI: Kim Darroch (former Ambassador to the US) makes the simple but powerful diplomatic point, that looking at Trump's record in office, he respects strong leaders not those that seek to accommodate him....

Darroch's lesson for Keir Starmer is stick to positions on international & trade affairs, don't seek to accommodate Tump's demands... as all he will then do is demand more.

Simple advice but right on the button.

"The smug, self-righteous 'moral' crusade against Trump stokes the national reality television show that has replaced journalism and politics. It reduces a social, economic and political crisis to the personality of Trump. It refuses to confront and name the corporate forces responsible for our failed democracy."

Entitled and privileged his entire life, if there were any decency in Donald Trump, he would be on his knees for hours before God for the merciful gift he just received.

"At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation."

Daniel 4:34

"#Trump plans to redirect "Ukrainian" cash flows to the needs of the United States. Namely, to a nationwide initiative to get the #homeless off the streets by building "tent cities" where they can be resettled."

Congress Is About to Gift Trump Sweeping Powers to Crush His Political Enemies
The House is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would let the administration destroy nonprofits it claims support terrorism.
Noah Hurowitz
November 10 2024

"Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire for revenge.

"On the campaign trail, he joked about being a #dictator on 'day one' in office, pledged to jail #journalists, and threatened to retaliate against political foes who he felt had wronged him.
Now, just days after he secured a second term in the White House, Congress is already moving to hand a resurgent #Trump administration a powerful cudgel that it could wield against ideological opponents in #CivilSociety.

"Up for a fast-track vote next week in the House of representatives, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, also known as #HR9495, would grant the secretary of Treasury Department unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be a 'terrorist supporting organization.'"

#Trump had a good election—in part because his friend Benjamin Netanyahu took actions in #Gaza cost Democrats a huge number of votes. ( Ed: Freaking predictable 🙄)

And agents in #MAGA media were also great at lying about inflation, crime, and immigration data. They were *really good* at disinformation.

I've studied #journalism and what now is happening (worldwide, not only .nl) is completely the opposite what journalists were trained for. What is going on!? I'm not a conspiracy person, but why does that happen all at once? Why exactly days after the re-election of #Trump? Why while Israel is finishing their ethnic cleansing of North-Gaza? Is this all related or just by accident? I don't know what to think anymore. Only that the capitalist #media overlords are completely claiming their influence now and that many journalists are complicit in this road to an authoritarian clusterfuck!

'These were good and very important conversations,' Netanyahu said in a statement, according to Reuters."

With Trump's authoritarian tendencies, we should be rightfully fearful of a further blow to US democracy now that it looks pretty likely he will again be elected.

However, another worldwide threat to democracy is the question that will now burn brightly: whether it is the best way to choose competent and dignified leaders.

The BBC saying Donald Trump is a Climate Denier which you may think is bold of them but they frame it as an opinion he has with no judgement on that either way.
I only catch glimpses of that smarmy British propaganda factory but what I do see outside of the ephemeral stories drives me fucking mad.
