Trump threatened to invade and annex the territory of a NATO ally, and then is somehow shocked that NATO allies didn't rally to join his war in Iran after the fact. Is this how it works in the real estate business? It's not how it works in international diplomacy.
Disclose.tv@disclosetv

NOW - Trump says that his frustrations with NATO "all began with, if you want to know the truth, Greenland. We want Greenland. They don't want to give it to us, and I said, 'bye bye!'"

Absolute humiliation for Pete Hegseth. CNN reveals the Secretary of Defense is polling at a staggering negative 30 points. He is vastly more unpopular than any war secretary in modern history. The public utterly despises his disastrous warmongering.

The only thing I've learned during this press conference is I'm more afraid of Trump have the nuclear codes than Iran having a nuclear weapon. He's fucking lost it.

Ever fucking day. And yet many are more concerned about Ukraine bombing the Russian energy infrastructure that funds its war of aggression and murders Ukrainian children.
Saint Javelin@saintjavelin

This is heartbreaking to watch💔 Russia hit Odesa overnight with strike drones. Three people were killed. One of them was a two-year-old child. Sixteen more were injured, including a pregnant woman and children - the youngest not even a year old.

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and the president accountable to no standards at all.

Elon Musk already axed nearly 6,000 Forest Service experts last year. Now, Trump is closing the Pacific Northwest Station—a pillar of our wildfire protection since 1925. You don't make California safer by firing the veterans who understand our terrain; you make us more vulnerable. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…

BREAKING: The media is finally calling out JD Vance for his insane decision to go and campaign for dictator Viktor Orban in Hungary. This is spot on.

For the record: If you are threatening a country of 90 million people that you're going to blow up their civilian infrastructure because you failed to negotiate with their leaders, THAT MAKES YOU A TERRORIST AND A WAR CRIMINAL.

From democracy to dictatorship is a shorter leap than many people think. The similarities of 2026 Trump America and 1938 Nazi Germany are striking. As of April 2026, historians, political scientists, and former administration officials have identified several parallels between the rhetoric and actions of the fascist authoritarian Trump regime and 1930s Nazi Germany, particularly regarding the erosion of democratic norms and the use of state power against political opponents. Rhetorical and Ideological Parallels * Dehumanizing Language: Critics and historians note that Trump’s use of terms like "vermin" to describe political opponents and "poisoning the blood" regarding immigrants mirrors the dehumanizing language used by Adolf Hitler and other fascist leaders to scapegoat minorities and political enemies. * Attacks on the Press: Trump’s frequent labeling of mainstream media as "fake news" has been compared to the Nazi-era term Lügenpresse ("press of lies"), used to delegitimize independent journalism. * Cult of Personality: Experts argue that Trump fosters a cult of personality where his perceived strength and aura take precedence over policy or factual arguments, a hallmark of 1920s and 1930s fascist movements. * "Enemies from Within": Trump’s rhetoric regarding an "enemy from within," specifically targeting "radical left lunatics" and Democratic politicians, aligns with historical fascist strategies of identifying internal threats to justify authoritarian measures. Institutional and Structural Parallels * Weaponization of the Justice System: Observers highlight Trump’s repeated threats to investigate and prosecute political rivals as a parallel to the Nazi strategy of using "lawfare" to eliminate opposition. * Gleichschaltung (Coordination): Efforts to align federal agencies with personal and party loyalty—such as replacing military leaders with loyalists and centralizing executive control—draw comparisons to the Nazi policy of Gleichschaltung, the enforced alignment of all national institutions. * Militias and Political Violence: Trump’s "stand by" instruction to the Proud Boys and his encouragement of self-recruiting militias are frequently cited as modern echoes of the SA and SS paramilitaries used to intimidate political opponents. Influence on the 2026 Midterm Elections The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) has become a central part of Trump America's parallels to 1930s Nazi Germany, specifically regarding the centralized control of the democratic process. These are some of the institutional and structural parallels between 1930s Nazi Germany and 2026 Trump America as the midterm elections approach. The SAVE Act and Voter Roll Control * Nationalization of Voter Rolls: In early 2026, after Trump intensified his push for the SAVE Act. By requiring federal proof of citizenship for all federal elections and granting the executive branch power to "audit" state voter rolls, the act effectively strips states of their constitutional authority to manage elections. * The "Purge" Mechanism: Historians note a parallel to 1930s "legal coordination," where laws were passed to systematically disenfranchise specific groups. The SAVE Act allows the federal government to flag and remove "suspect" voters from rolls — often targeting naturalized citizens and minority groups — under the guise of "election integrity." * Bureaucratic Obstacles: Much like the 1935 Nuremberg Laws (which began by defining who was a "citizen" with the right to vote), the SAVE Act uses documentation requirements to create a tiered system of citizenship, making it harder for opposition-leaning demographics to remain on the rolls. Impact on the 2026 Midterms * Mass De-registrations: In the lead-up to the midterms, the administration has used the SAVE Act's provisions to challenge the eligibility of millions of voters in "Blue" districts within swing states. * Disruption of Local Authority: By giving federal agents loyal to Trump the power to intervene in local voter registration, the Act has caused chaos in election offices, leading to a wave of resignations among non-partisan election officials who refuse to implement the "purges." * Pre-emptive Challenges: The Act allows the fascist authoritarian Trump regime to challenge election results before a single vote is cast by claiming the "rolls are corrupted," providing a legal pretext to contest any losses in November 2026. * Executive Orders on Voting: In March 2026, Trump signed a sweeping executive order targeting mail-in voting and seeking to impose new federal rules on local election organizers. * Targeting Election Officials: The administration has been accused of a coordinated campaign to dismantle federal election security agencies and pressure local election workers. * Use of "Lawfare" Against Candidates: There are concerns that the Department of Justice (DOJ) may be used to harass or disqualify opposition candidates in competitive 2026 races. * Proposed Election Subversion: Analysts have outlined potential scenarios where the administration could deploy troops near polling places or have federal agents seize voting machines to influence outcomes. Recent Military Leadership Changes Widespread Firings: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has overseen the removal or forced retirement of more than 20 high-ranking generals and admirals since returning to office. Joint Chiefs of Staff Purge: Almost the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff has been remade, with only the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Head of Space Force remaining from the previous leadership. Allegations of a "Loyalty Purge" Targeting "Non-Loyalists": Reports from outlets like The Washington Post and NBC News indicate that while many removals occur without official explanation, Hegseth has frequently criticized leaders he perceives as lacking loyalty to President Trump. "Woke" Ideology as a Pretext: Hegseth has publicly targeted officers who championed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, describing such leadership as "woke" and inconsistent with his vision for the military. Impact of the Iran Conflict: The ongoing war with Iran has reportedly intensified these purges, with some officials being removed following disagreements over the scope and success of military operations.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994. The deal was simple: Ukraine surrendered its massive nuclear arsenal, and in return, those powers promised to respect its sovereignty. Everyone needs to remember that

"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…
