And So It Begins…

A week on from the Republican’s crushing win over Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential election he has been busy appointing key supporters to top roles in his administration, including tech billionaire Elon Musk and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem.

His latest taps are GOP Florida representative Gaetz and Democrat-turned-Republican Gabbard.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States,” Trump said on Truth Social, adding Gaetz is a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney”.

He continued: “Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”

He has previously said he disagreed with the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling and voted against the Equality Act.

A narcissist likes to surround themselves “Yes” people and that is what all these people are… bootlickers.

Well this is still in the news!

‘Republicans pounce!’ Bathroom battle falls prey to the media’s dumbest cliche
The Hill

For some in the Washington press corps, the news is rarely the real story. The real story is whatever Republicans are doing in reaction to it — the classic “Republicans pounce” cliche.

We saw this worn-out gimmick again this week when members of the press rushed to characterize Republican affirmation of standard bathroom etiquette as a shocking new offensive in the culture wars.

[...]

In a normal, healthy society, such an announcement would confuse everyone. Well-adjusted people would wonder why the Speaker felt compelled to say something so obvious.

You know that this is all for show.

It's the "Land of the Misfit Toys!" Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Better stock up on toys and clothes this year and hide them away for next year...tariffs are coming. I wonder if Trump will exempt from tariffs his swag from China.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
