The MAGA Republicans know they have to remain in power because if the Democrats ever depose them they will rightfully be on the recieving end of a revenge tour de force. By Hal M. Brown

This is the most recent stop on the Trump revenge tour. It is one of the side avenues he’s going down on his somewhat slow motion blitzkrieg to take over the country and turn it into his Hitlerian vision of what he wants the country to be. While he hopes he’s immortal there are signs he toys with the notion that there’s an real afterlife and he wants to go there to sit in his rightful place next to God 1 (don’t forget the footnotes) where Hitler himself will be on the other side and God will be complementing them for the great work they did on Earth while they were alive.

If, however, God hasn’t lost His marbles He will be throwing His all-knowing and all-powerful support behind those who fought against what Trump tried to do to hurt everyone from a child in a country where AID funds were cut to James Comey and John Bolton.

The Bible teaches that vengeance belongs to the Big Man (not Trump). It is addrssed in Romans 12:19, which states, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Leviticus 24:19-20 emphasizes the principle of “eye for eye.”

Trump has tried to poke his DOJ finger in the eyes of lots of people. While his evil eyes are protected from the law thanks to the Supreme Court, the eyes of those who did his evil deeds are not.

God may decide to allow and assist the court system so it achieves justice here on Earth. He could also decide that more direct Heavenly Intervention is appropriate if American courts get bogged down.

I am a secular Jew who doesn’t believe in God. I respect those who do as long as they aren’t hypocrits. I concluded a long time ago that if there was an all loving and all powerful God people like Trump and Hitler wouldn’t be unable to hurt people. There would be no famine and natural disasters. My logical conclusion is that if there is some kind of diety presiding over an afterlife they have to be indifferent to what happens on Earth. People would live out their natural lives and die peacefully without pain.

And then there's Hitler

When I read the fantastic JoJo from Jerz Substack “I’m fat and going to Hell” I was just going to post something about it as an addendum to today’s Substack.

Then I thought I wanted to make sure all my subscribers read it so I am posting it in an afternoon Substack.

The other day I wrote about Thom Hartmann referencing Hitler five times and fascism seven times in his Substack. I wrote “I’m not the only one harping on Hitler, Hartmann is too.”

That was my third Substack in a row about Hitler. I wondered if enough is enough. Now, with four, is this too many, I ask myself.

Here’s what JoJo from Jerz wrote today.

She begins writing about the Nazi cosplayers caught writing about how they admire Hitler:

It’s late when I’m writing this. I’m up because my mind won’t shut off. My body wants sleep, but my brain’s doing backflips in steel-toed boots. Everyone’s talking about those Republican “youth leaders” who got caught “joking” about gas chambers and Hitler, and yeah, they’re vile. They’re not kids. They’re not naïve. They’re antisemitic, bigoted, misogynistic fascist cosplayers. They deserve scorn, condemnation, and unemployment. At best, their next job should be scrubbing truck-stop urinals with a toothbrush while humming God Bless America through a respirator that smells like diesel and shame.

Then she gets to Trump and Hitler:

He wants erections everywhere. A man infamously small in the pants trying to immortalize himself with towering erections of marble and fake gold.
He’s desperate to convince history that he was big at something.
And when people say we shouldn’t compare him to Hitler because there was only one Hitler, sure, that’s true.But a whole lotta shit still lines up uncomfortably well. The cult. The paranoia. The myth-making. The need for monuments. The difference is aesthetic. Hitler wanted architecture. Trump wants gaudy erections.

The crucial part for me is the last paragraph. I am as cognizant as she is about the “there was only one Hitler” argument. There was only one Holocaust too. Had it not happened I would have a lot more relatives than I do. Had World War II not happened the human population might be much greater than it is and one of them might have discovered the cure for cancer and many of our loved one, including my wife, might not have died an early death.

To answer to my own question about how many Substacks about Trump and Hitler are enough I have decided that there is no limit. As long as he acts like Hitler I will write about this.

Read JoJo’s entire Substack for some of the best descriptions of Trump you’ll find anywhere. For example:

He looks like a man who gave up halfway through being embalmed — pink, rubbery, overdone, a human shrimp left under the heat lamp of history. His skin has that glossy, radioactive sheen, the shade you’d get if you basted guilt in iodine and regret. The top of his right hand is still bruised and black, like it spent the weekend auditioning for the afterlife. His cankles have achieved the structural density of pudding. Every step he takes looks like a war crime against geometry. He moves through space like a haunted beanbag chair, listing sideways, one ankle begging for retirement while the other files a grievance with gravity.

The photo is of me with the flag and one of the two custom made signs we will be taking to the o Kings protest.

If attempted gaslighting was a crime equal to attempted murder, people from Trump to Vance to Karoline Leavitt to Mike Johnson could face life in prison.

Would Trump and his henchpeople lie? Should we believe them even if what they say is crazy? I wonder what would happen if we asked Trump. Would he even think about it?

You can read Mike Johnson’s words aout the planned No Kings protests here:

“I encourage you to watch — we call it the ‘Hate America Rally’ — that’ll happen Saturday,” Johnson said. “Let’s see who shows up for that. I bet ya see pro-Hamas supporters, I bet you you see Antifa-types, I bet ya see the Marxists in full display. The people who don’t want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”

It is much better to watch how facile and smarmy sounds as he is spewing his lies from his self-righteous religous mouth here:

You might even think he believes what he is saying.

He wants us to believe will buy that No Kings protesters are supporting Hamas. Listen to how he says the word “Marxists” like he’s uttering the word “Satan.” I’m surprised he didn’t add that Devil worshippers will be proselytizing in the group.

As if this isn’t enough he wants you to believe they are fundeded by George Soros who most people couldn’t identify in a line-up;

He ends with saying “the American people are not stupid.”

Holy shit, those who think people attending this rally support Hamas or, in any significant numbers, are followers of Karl Marx (not that this would be horrible) are, to use a term Sabrina Haake uses here, eejits.

Johnson is equally a dumbass if he believes this. You can’t have it both ways. Either Johnson is an immoral unethical manipulator of he is as dunb as a bucket of nails.

If we need a refresher course in what Marx believed:

Karl Marx believed that history is driven by class struggle, particularly between the working class (proletariat) and the owning class (bourgeoisie). He argued that capitalism exploits workers and creates inequality, ultimately predicting that it would lead to a revolution and the establishment of a classless, communist society.

I wasn’t going to bother taking the big American flag, which I have on a long pole, to the No Kings protest we’re going to. Now I think I will. I will turn it back to right-side-up having previously changed it fly it as the distress signal upside down --- this is to send the message that everything Johnson says is an outright lie. We are the patriots. We are proud to be against fascism. As I wrote yesterday (here) being anti-fascist doesn’t make us terrorists. Quite the oposite. We oppose the terrorists.

Being anti-fascist makes us patriotic.

Because we know that Trump is far worse that George III ever was, we had No Hitler signs (shown with me holding them below) custom made for the rally.

I explain why here:

Now watch this video from Occupy Democrats which shows lying liar Karoline Leavitt in addtion to the clip of Mike Johnson.

Murdering someone is a crime. It is sometimes punished by death and at other times by life in prison. Attempted murder is also a crime, though usually with a lesser punsihment.

Driving someone crazy isn’t a crime. Trying to drive someone crazy is called gaslighting. This is a form of psychological abuse. The intent it to lead someone to question their sanity, memories, or perception of reality. When it works, the victim may initially feel confused, then anxious, as the gaslighting continues this will make them unable to trust themselves. Their ability to think logically disappears and think they are insane.

The term originated in the 1938 play and 1944 film, “Gaslight,” where a husband manipulated his wife into thinking she had a mental illness. Here’s my version of the poster:
