Trump Derangement Syndrome

If some of the liberals who claim they’re going to leave the country when Donald Trump takes office intend to stick to their plans, they may need new passports, especially if they don’t identify as men or women.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow questioned why some of the country’s wealthiest tech billionaires were seated alongside President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees at Monday’s inauguration.

Upon seeing Apple CEO Tim Cook alongside Department of Homeland Security head nominee Kristi Noem, Maddow asked, “How is this happening in America?”

Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday afternoon — and as expected, America’s propaganda media are not happy.

Still emotionally distraught after the American people overwhelmingly rejected their Democrat darling Kamala Harris, so-called “journalists” and media personalities quickly descended into anger and sorrow during Trump’s inauguration. Like clockwork, this breadbasket of depravity was filled with its typical assortment of fearmongering and childish outbursts.

Nobody was expecting leftwing tv journalists to be anything short of bitter on the day Donald Trump assumed the office of the Presidency for the second time. But for anyone hoping to get a good chuckle out of the CNN and MSNBC panelists’ emotional reactions and tortured analysis, the coverage did not disappoint.

Sir Sadiq Khan has warned of “resurgent fascism” on the eve of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Labour’s Mayor of London suggested the incoming President’s second term would carry echoes of 1930s Germany, in remarks that were immediately shot down by the Government.

In an article for The Observer, he warned against the “march” of the far-Right, calling it a “perilous moment” for the West, and hit out at Elon Musk, branding him a “billionaire bully”.

The release of the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape was supposed to sink Donald Trump. Instead, it transformed politics – and our world

What moment in the past 25 years most altered our history? A case can be made that the turning point in recent American history, at least – and America being the hinge on which so much of the world also swings, a turning point in many other places – occurred on Oct. 7, 2016. That was the date of the release of the Access Hollywood tape, when Donald Trump was caught on a recording boasting, some 10 years or so before, with the TV host one Billy Bush, of his “technique” with women.

“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it,” he said gallantly of some would-be conquest. “I did try and fuck her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’ ”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — And so we arrive at the cusp.

You can feel it in the city of presidents, this metropolis of neo-Roman edifices that once claimed to lead to the “free world,” and is now soon to experience its “Make America Great Again” restoration. The anticipation, the trepidation, the excitement, the dread. A weekend of galas and rallies; celebrants in their signature red hats meandering past the fences and porta potties on the National Mall; fireworks scheduled for Saturday night at Donald Trump’s golf course outside of town. And all of it hurtling towards the single, tremulous question.

What is about to happen?

The Star wants to terrorize the populace.

Left-wing radicals have been mobilizing near the nation’s capital ahead of the January 20 inauguration, which has been moved indoors. Since summer, we have tracked D.C.’s radical networks—their movements, methods, and potential for violence. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, these groups learned that street protests could yield political gains. Now, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, they’re weighing their options.

As protesters gather in Washington DC on Saturday for this year’s Women’s March, Vanessa Wruble, one of its founders, will be 2,500 miles away, at her farm in the Californian desert.

“I didn’t even know it was still a thing,” she told the BBC from her five-acre animal sanctuary near Joshua Tree, which features a zebra, mini cows and horses, peacocks and chickens.

Eight years ago, on the eve of the first Women’s March, Wruble had been consumed by it. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s surprise 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, Wruble, along with a handful of other female activists, scrambled to pull together a mass protest against the newly elected president.
