Put a sticker over dotard's face on the annual parks' pass? They may deny you entry. What a little bitch.

In 1945, the US Army - yes, OUR Army, fresh off of fighting to a bitter victory in WWII - published an “Army Talk” pamphlet on fascism. It was a warning. It was to protect us. Read it. Because in doing so, you’ll see quite plainly that this regime has used it as a how-to manual.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Army_Talk_Orientation_Fact_Sheet/Number_64

Just a few of the cautionary words, which could be written today in real-time as “this is what’s happening”:

An American fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a fascist. Fascism always camouflages its plans and purposes. Hitler made demagogic appeals to all groups and swore: "Neither I nor anybody in the National Socialist Party advocates proceeding by anything but Constitutional methods."

Any fascist attempt to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism."

Fascists in America may differ slightly from fascists in other countries, but there are a number of attitudes and practices that they have in common. Following are three. Every person who has one of them is not necessarily a fascist. But he is in a mental state that lends itself to the acceptance of fascist aims.

1. Pitting of religious, racial, and economic groups against one another in order to break down national unity is a device of the "divide and conquer" technique used by Hitler to gain power in Germany and in other countries. With slight variations, to suit local conditions, fascists everywhere have used this Hitler method. In many countries, anti-Semitism (hatred of Jews) is a dominant device of fascism. In the United States, native fascists have often been anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, anti-Negro, anti-Labor, anti-foreign-born. In South America, the native fascists use the same scapegoats except that they substitute anti-Protestantism for anti-Catholicism.

Interwoven with the "master race" theory of fascism is a well-planned "hate campaign" against minority races, religions, and other groups. To suit their particular needs and aims, fascists will use any one or a combination of such groups as a convenient scapegoat.

2. Fascism cannot tolerate such religious and ethical concepts as the "brotherhood of man." Fascists deny the need for international cooperation. These ideas contradict the fascist theory of the "master race." The brotherhood of man implies that all people—regardless of color, race, creed, or nationality —have rights. International cooperation, as expressed in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, runs counter to the fascist program of war and world domination.

In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations. Right now our native fascists are spreading anti-British, anti-Soviet, anti-French, and anti-United Nations propaganda. They know that allied unity now foretells the certain defeat of fascism abroad. They know that post-war allied unity means world peace and security. They realize that fascism cannot thrive or grow under these conditions.

3. It is accurate to call a member of a communist party a "communist." For short, he is often called a "Red." Indiscriminate pinning of the label "Red" on people and proposals which one opposes is a common political device. It is a favorite trick of native as well as foreign fascists.

Many fascists make the spurious claim that the world has but two choices—either fascism or communism, and they label as "communist" everyone who refuses to support them. By attacking our free enterprise, capitalist democracy and by denying the effectiveness of our way of life they hope to trap many people.

Hitler insisted that only fascism could save Europe and the world from the "communist menace." There were many people inside and outside Germany and Italy who welcomed and supported Hitler and Mussolini because they believed fascism was the only safeguard against communism. The "Red bogey" was a convincing enough argument to help Hitler take and maintain power. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis, whose aggressions plunged the world into global war, was called the "Anti-Comintern Axis." It was proclaimed by Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as a "bulwark against communism."

Learning to identify native fascists and to detect their techniques is not easy. They plan it that way. But it is vitally important to learn to spot them, even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.


I’m not on a ledge. I don’t have TDS. I’ve just read basic fucking history, including a straightforward analysis by our own victorious US Army from a mere 80 years ago.

We are doing what the victorious US Army warned against. Republicans, why do you hate the US Army?

On the bright side, it's up to the park ranger's discretion as to whether or not a pass has been "altered." Although I'm sure even national park employees aren't free of the MAGA disease, I've gotta think the number of Trumpkins working as a ranger is pretty, pretty low.

It makes me extra glad I got my annual pass in December so it's good for all of 2026 and I don't have to deal with this shit. Until he decides his face must be on all future passes as well.

Ain’t a damn single park employee gonna deny entry for that, I bet his polling is lower among them than in DC.

The next time a Democrat wins the White House that needs to be demolished immediately and should be restored to it’s original design.

He and couch fucker give each other a “wtf is he doing” look.

It should be repurposed as some kind of a warning/lesson to future generations to not elect criminal conmen felons and rapists President of the United States. We really shouldn't need something like that, but we definitely do.

That credit card post is hilarious. A Sanders-led bill last year passed committee that did this, he’s now just taking credit

It’s Donald Trump. Don’t overthink it because he’s not thinking that far out. Maybe somebody around him is, but I bet it was sold to him as helping give him a few points in the polls, because he’s desperate to raise his pull numbers. Im sure that Politico poll that had Kamala ahead of him pissed him off.

You’re still talking poll numbers and how shit will impact midterms. We’re beyond that. He doesn’t give a shit and hasn’t mentioned polls in public in a long time afaik

No it’s not how it will impact midterms, it’s his ego. He’s not playing 4D chess. When he does something like this, it either directly benefits him or a donor or his ego (by boosting him with MAGA). Or multiples of those. I have no doubt there are some poor MAGA who are cheering this on, not realizing they will be turned down for credit cards in the future.

It’s not just that. There’s a reason why they constantly ask you for your annual income. Risk is mitigated by exposure as well, and the increased risk of lower interest payments can be offset by lowering the credit limit of current customers.

And since credit scores have components such as % of revolving credit used, and amount of credit still available, that would impact credit scores. Which could impact the ability to acquire new debt or the cost of that new debt.

That could affect tens of millions of Americans in a negative manner, while many probably would be happy that their cc interest has dropped.

Plus if they can’t make the same money they are accustomed to via cc balances, they’re happy to raise installment loan rates to compensate.

This one isn’t getting that much attention, but it is probably the worst thing Trump has tried to do and fucks the average MAGA the most.

The rate credit card companies charge is directly tied to risk. Having lower rates means they won’t take on risky clients (lower income, lower credit score), which means many people will no longer have access to credit or much less of it.

You can see why this would be of interest to Trump’s horde of under-demons. By limiting financial flexibility, it keeps the populace dependent on ruling class (tech bro oligarchs). Long term people are less able to take risks (like starting a new business) and are stuck working more in lower and lower paying jobs.

The dream for the hell lords is for no one to be paid at all. Modern feudalism and serfdom, where all wealth is controlled by a select few with absolute authority over life is given to our new kings and lords.

i personally would like to know how i can wrap my own load in a nice package…for my wife.

In the last three days I had two interactions with Trumpers in Minnesota that is typical of today’s environment.

The first was in a pharmacy drug store. The owner had NewsMax blaring on a tv next to the cash register. After waiting in line for awhile, when I finally got checked out, I couldn’t take it anymore.

As I was about to walk away I turned and said, “Do you know that NewsMax is nothing but propaganda, like Pravda for Russia?” The guy looked at me for a second and asked, “Really? Who should I be watching?” We then had a nice conversation where he said he was independent with conservative leanings and was tired of being called racist over the last few years.

I certainly didn’t turn this guy into a rational thinker, but it’s my hope I at least stirred something in this guy to start paying more attention to who he follows. He wasn’t dumb, and he was the type of person needed to flip future elections.

The second was in a large medical facility standing inline for coffee. Out of 10 people, for some reason this older asshat with an America t shirt on came up to me and started babbling about Venezuela and how great it is, and how only the libtards are the ones against it. Why he came up to just me out of the blue, I’ll never know, but I could tell he was a lost cause. So instead of being polite, I simply turned my back to him and ignored him. It felt great.

My two little acts of rebellion against stupidity this week.

A guy came into the ice cream place my daughter works at and had Trump speaking on his phone loud as shit. He ordered a cup for his kid and then bitched at her for not giving him enough sprinkles. Not kidding. He continued to watch the trump speech at full volume while his kid ate then before walking out looked back at my 17yo and said “you could learn a lot from this great man.” So fucking miserable and stupid.

You're not completely wrong.

But this is the same sort of argument advanced against the CFPB.

One thing that I think most of this fails to properly account for is just exactly how uncollectable most bad consumer debt is, even without bankruptcy. It varies quite a bit from state to state as far as collection mechanisms, but in a whole lot of states, like Texas, it's practically uncollectable within six months or a year of default.

That is still unbelievable. Posted by our government.

Not to beat a dead horse here, but it would be nice if the government promising to deport almost a third of the country got .001% of the media attention that Tim Walz retiring from the military after 20 years got. Remember that "scandal"? Our insane fucking media treated that like it was a discussion to be had. "Was Tim Walz a traitor to his unit? Or not? We'll debate BOTH sides, coming up next."

But our government promising to deport a third of the country? Fucking crickets.
