Joseph Goebbels Nazi politician and Propaganda Minister (1897–1945)

Yes. At this point we need to see some of that money in use.

Certainly no culture has a lock on the patriarchy.

Waltz was the one who added the journalist to the chat. Also Hegseth may not know how to follow up.

Yes. i do think it is the ‘50s and early ‘60s American dream model. i don’t think MAGA is formulating a plan to prosper in out actual situation as we stand now. The tariff clusterf*ck is a sign of that. And yes, I think this is a big issue for the democrats, because they don’t have a real solution they can communicate.

Yes, that was the bit I saw.

Yeah. I saw an interview with trump and a news reporter, tv, don’t have a link. I saw a clip. But trump was maintaing the m13 was right there and the reporter kept on saying ‘no sir that’s photoshopped’. Trump said he picked the reporter, well (belittling) he hadn’t heard of him, but he needed to do better. Reporter said lets talk about the Ukraine. Trump ignored. Really trump is going headfirst into his own world fast. Can’t cope with less than obeisance. Which is why bezos move is smart. It is public. It doesn’t matter in the larger sense. And yet what they are doing is to reverse people awakening to things that have been happening around them. So it fits.

Hegseth is higely insecure and totally unqualified before he got elected to this complex job. He got elected to this job because apparently Trump likes him.

I didn’t mean to indicate that it was a coalition of any sort, and the specific quote was from a specific Latino speaker. I have read so e things about the book and heard people discuss it. I was also not dipping my toe i to whether certain groups of immigrants are naturally more conservative. what I was trying to say is the desire for jobs that provide a living wage and buy houses and so on, and possibly a simpler time when houses were safer from fires and tornadoes (etc) and people spoke of solid values, were things that spoke to a wide swath of people, not just white middle america.

Hegseth is a piece of work, isn’t he?

This also sounds a lot loke the gilded age and its good buddy, the wild west. So it is probably inevitable to some extent.

And in the US this opens up a can of worms, because it does not just mean one traditional denomination that traditionally tuns schools andbit probably mens r and intelligent design in so e public schools.

It is also the plan. These things world will not look like this in a generation. Free religious charter schools. Right to lynch people who a different, no doubt.

While Trump, his special self, is foccussed in the Gilded age of robber barons and the only people that matter are the hugely rich. that is a dichotomy. They are hearing at cross purposes.

Frankly, if we do we are going to need to do better, I think.

Yes. Media spin is something they are good at.

Well, yah. Or what would have been the point? Seriously people. But immigrants, often poc, and some US poc, are jumping on the train. Because they want that as well. Not the change, environmental and economic and social that is upon us. It is not just white evangelicals and their womenfolk. It is dangerous to dismiss it as such. Latino men who voted for Trump said ‘we want to be winners’.

Ezos publically bending the knee like this over something so trivial may be a ploy. He is in Trumps good graces now. Yeah, if you get that rich there is usually a reason. Luck, a real desire to make money as a point system, probably quite the edge of non empathic self centeredness. Bezos always said Amazon had a limited lifespan. I wonder if that means anything.

I’m positive there is a reality show for that. Not my cuppa. But I’d bet there is. Keep looking.

I really don’t know much about her. Or want to. I don’t even want to know if Donald likes golden showers or wears a diaper to. Ed. Just want him gone. honestly, I think people want the American dream of the fifties nd early sixties and in a sick way Trump is selling that image of America. And I think that is ll.

Yes, this is why I worry about mocking billionaires and things like that. There’s fun and release in it. Bit there is something we are missing, maybe all over the world. Something like people wanting a time when they could aee a clear way forward. Even more plastic and convenience and bigger and better cars. Less guilt? Less fear for the future? Denial, freeze?

Yeah, one may assume that the biopic thing was a request from Trump. I can’t imagine anyone would want to know about Melania’s life.

Yeah. A few usa today pro trump articles have shown up in my apple news feed. I look for more. The other I read was about how good his polls are and how hppy his voters are that they voted for him. I assume there will be more, where er they insert them.

https://apple.news/AxF6X0gqwScmdR6WLpDfs8g Trump has made America a safer place for my daughters. I'm grateful for that. | Opinion 5:07 am EDT Apr. 30, 2025 apparently USA has a lot of pro trump opinion. I should add it is probably worthwhile to remember that some people re ikay with what is going on. Strange and scary.

Does Trump actually have a religious affiliation?
