Giving Cheeto von Tweeto the benefit of the doubt on a few of the clues above, I count 11 in which he is actively engaged. It is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that the president is mentally ill. Increasing numbers of people are voicing concern about the next 4 years. We shouldn't give him 4 years. He needs to be removed from office as quickly as possible. In the meantime, make sure his days are filled with the raucous and joyful cacophony of the voices of resistance and dissent.

"Cheeto von Tweeto"

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


It really HURTS when you snort coffee through your nose Matata!
 
Just saw the state department news! Holy shiitake.
 
I'm hoping there is a mass coordinated walk-out of of federal employees in protest of this idiot.

His gag order yesterday, or the day before, can't keep them straight states that no communication can occur among federal offices and between those offices and the public until every single one is reviewed and approved by cheeto personally or his designated rep. Cheeto is trying to run government the same way he does his business and it can't work. Literally, it can't work. There must be millions of communications created daily and he wants his stamp of approval on all. Insane.

It's like he thinks he's on a telelvision show - President of America - he comes out does his routine, goes back and walks around the white house admiring phones. We are in trouble.

I really hope so. This is absolute insanity, and I feel like life is surreal right now.

Thank you for this info Sungura!
 
Well darn, it appears the state dept. resignations were standard protocol rather than resistance. Drat and double drat.

But what do you make of Kennedy and the other three resigning "unexpectedly"? Does not sound "standard" to me.

Here's also an interesting tidbit: “It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” said David Wade, who served as State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry.
 
Diplomats including Assistant Secretary Bond, are leaving because of the current insanity in Washington. These are not people who make such decisions lightly.
 
The Mexican President has canceled the upcoming trip to meet with Prez. Puss-Grab.

Well no sh!t! Puss-Grab said if he (the Mexican President) didn't plan on paying for the wall he shouldn't come.

That's like saying if you don't plan on paying for this outrageously expensive dinner that I've invited you to -- but that YOU have to pay for -- the reservation should be canceled.

:rolleyes:
 
The Independent reports that: “Employees from more than a dozen US government agencies have established a network of unofficial ‘rogue’ Twitter feeds in defiance of what they see as attempts by President Donald Trump to muzzle federal climate change research and other science.”

Seizing on Mr Trump’s favorite mode of discourse, scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA and other bureaus have privately launched Twitter accounts – borrowing names and logos of their agencies – to protest restrictions they view as censorship and provide unfettered platforms for information the new administration has curtailed.
Conservative website Forbes reported on Wednesday on “the rise of ‘rogue’ Twitter accounts popping up for agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Park Service (NPS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).”

Accounts like @RogueNASA, @AltNatParkSer, @ActualEPAFacts and @Alt_NASA claim to be run by active or former employees of the agencies and have all attracted followers rapidly, with @RogueNASA earning 87,000 followers as of the time of this writing and @AltNatParkSer having 690,000 followers. What can we learn about the future of government communication from this act of civil disobedience?


By Thursday morning at 4:30am Eastern, @RogueNASA had 263,000 followers and @AltNatParkSer has almost a million followers. (@AltEPAFacts has over 50K followers and @Alt_NASA has 43.5K followers.)

As Huffington Post reports, there are official government accounts that are defying Trump as well.

On Tuesday, Huffington Post reported that “The official Twitter account of Badlands National Park in South Dakota fired off a series of since-deleted tweets Tuesday afternoon listing facts about the planet’s rising carbon dioxide levels, just one day after sources inside the Environmental Protection Agency revealed employees had been instructed to freeze all its grants and halt any social media posts or external press releases.”

The bold move comes days after the Department of the Interior temporarily suspended all activity on its Twitter accounts after one of its agencies, the National Park Service, retweeted images comparing the crowds at Donald Trump’s inauguration to those of Barack Obama’s in 2009 and reposted a tweet saying the civil rights, climate change and health care pages had been scrubbed from the White House website.
In a Thursday foll0w-up piece, Huffington Post reported that “A day after the Badlands National Park account began tweeting out climate change facts — only to have the tweets later disappear — another national park account appears to be going rogue in the face of President Donald Trump’s new policies.”

The Death Valley National Park Service has been tweeting not only about climate science, but also about the World War II imprisonment of Japanese Americans.
Forbes goes on to report that “one of the most remarkable aspects” of these Twitter accounts is the fact “they use as their avatars the official logos of the agencies they are attempting to speak on behalf of” putting them at risk of criminal prosecution.

For instance, as Forbes reports, “the EPA logo policy states that for any organization which wishes to ‘reproduce the EPA logo or seal for purposes acceptable to the Agency, permission must be granted by OPA, which will provide a copy of the logo or seal.'”

NASA guidelines are even more strict, stating “The NASA insignia logo… and the NASA seal may not be used for any purpose without explicit permission. These images may not be used by persons who are not NASA employees or on products, publications or web pages that are not NASA-sponsored.”

As Forbes explains, the National Park Service “takes its restrictions even further, referencing possible criminal prosecution: ‘The arrowhead symbol is the official insignia and registered mark of the NPS. As such, it is protected by trademark laws and by 18 U.S.C. § 701, which provides for criminal penalties against non-governmental use of Government marks and other insignia. The arrowhead symbol may not be used without prior written permission from the Director of the NPS.'”

Forbes reached out to the the National Park Service and the NPA who declined to respond. NASA confirmed that they had lodged a complaint with Twitter regarding the use of its logo, but as of the time of the publication of this article, the logo remains on that account.

I never in my wildest dream thought I would witness the rise of a fascist state in detail and from the inside.
 
Funny, I bet if one were to look at the Twitter followers of the rogue accounts vs the orange one's they'd find the rogue followers to be legit/not paid for and most of ol' DJT's "bot"-and-paid-for.
 
On FB someone from the UK suggested that if cheeto believes that 5 million votes were illegal and that our voting system is that flawed, we should hold another election. Brilliant idea!

And let me repeat the irony again -- his daughter, Mnuchin, and Bannon are registered to vote in 2 states. Using cheeto's style of reasoning, we can truthfully say fraud was committed by cheeto supporters intimately involved with him = invalid election = kick his orange a$$ out of the white house.
 
FJ alert - quote of the day:

"Norms, protocols, standards…none of these things mean anything to today’s conservatives. They are fighting with knifes while progressives have been fighting back with scathing editorials. They aren’t going to change. In fact, they have been and only gotten worse because they haven’t suffered any consequences for their behaviors. This needs to change. It’s time for progressives to become less Eliot Ness and more Jim Malone."

Indeed.
 
I saw that a "disdain for intellectuals and the arts" was listed as one of "the early warning signs of fascism" on Matata's chart. Even here on Pricescope I have felt chastized for wanting to hold intellectual discussions, and I think anyone who knows me knows that I do not bash other people who have discussions that are not intellectual. I am not someone who has ever complained that threads here are silly or banal. If i do not like them, I simply do not take part in them. I feel that there is an anti-intellectual thread in much of America and Donald Trump just tapped into it. I think bullies are always ready to tap into it and to put down people they don't like in the US, saying they (the intellectuals) think they are better than others because "they are so smart". I think this is exacerbated when the intellectual is a woman. I can just imagine a rough little boy dipping a smart little girl's braid into an inkwell to punish her for doing well in school.

But then, "rampant sexism" is another of the listed early warning signs of fascism.
