We have always been at war with Eastasia.
"President Donald Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt."

American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran
The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

"Reverse judicial precedents"? The Orange Dipshit is trying to use executive orders to eliminate legal protections for the unhoused?
"The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “reverse judicial precedents and end consent decrees” that limit jurisdictions’ abilities to relocate homeless people."

The proposed sell-off of federal lands in the Senate budget bill includes a LOT of Joshua tree habitat—the trees grow in some of the largest areas of undeveloped land in the lower 48 states
The place where eastern and western Joshua trees hybridize, north of Creech AFB, is included

Here’s the key point: Trump’s corruption of justice isn’t just individual; it’s categorical. We have grown accustomed to him rewarding his loyalists and punishing his critics. That he fired the prosecutors who worked on his federal criminal cases while pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters represents a textbook case of individual favoritism.
The Trump administration’s abuse of the civil rights division is something else entirely. It had already initiated a “litigation freeze” on filing new civil rights cases, and it had indicated that it was even going to reconsider previous settlements and consent decrees intended to address police misconduct.
...
Civil rights laws are designed in part to protect innocent citizens — including, of course, innocent citizens from minority communities — from unjust government officials. Here, the legal world is turned upside down. The Justice Department is using its civil rights division to protect an unjust government official who violated the civil rights of an innocent individual.

We are at the point in the fillum where the genial but strict Irish priest hands a pair of boxing gloves to the two adolescent proto-gangsters, points at the slack roped ring and says "Sort it out in the ring lads. And leave it in the ring."
Of course one of them ends up executed at the end of the film.

Remember when George W claimed in 2003 that we needed to invade and occupy Iraq despite any evidence of bioweapons labs because he claimed that they were in RVs, traveling around desert? Mango Mussolini is giving a similar energy, here.

"On Wednesday, the museum announced that the rest of Tolokonnikova’s performance would have to be postponed indefinitely, because of “ongoing demonstrations and military activity”.
“Every single event I did in Russia was shut down by the cops,” she posted on Instagram, “and now it’s starting to feel a lot like Russia.”"
...
“I guess the National Guard will be performing POLICE STATE instead of me this week,” Tolokonnikova wrote on Instagram.
