Stephen Miller even looks like the literal reincarnation of Josef Goebbles. Pretty terrifying.

Nope - Reinhard Heydrich. (Google him) The author of the Holocaust, and may Stephen the reincarnated meet the same fate he met in 1943.

Heydrich was more physically handsome than pee wee. Pee Wee German is very ugly, and looks more like Goebbels to me.

The man was a monster! He was the mastermind of the Gas chambers! What on Earth are you on about?!

"I still think Miller looks more like Goebbles. Heydrich is more Aryan looking IMHO." Read Mombeka's comment below.

Cool it! I'm saying that his FACE was not as grotesque as pee wee german!

Agreed.

I remember watching the movie about the meeting that they had where they basically authorized the holocaust. That movie was really horrific. How Hitler pretty much just didn’t want to know about what they were doing to the Jewish community, but hey, go ahead and do it anyway.

I still think Miller looks more like Goebbles. Heydrich is more Aryan looking IMHO.

Stephen Miller in Fox interview over the weekend:

“Donald Trump is engaging in the most important restoration of democracy in over a century by saying that we are going to restore power to the people through their elected president and his appointed officers."

No mention of Congress or the Judiciary. And the people he’s talking about —we already know — are just the white people. The coup will be complete by the end of this month and then we’re gonna have to decide what we’re going to do — what we’re willing to do. it’s here people. Hell is already here.

And for anyone holding out hope that the courts will use the one and only option they have to enforce an order, here’s a little bit of information from George Conway.

As you know, having practiced law there's really only one way that courts can enforce their orders when somebody is being contumacious and refusing to obey an order, and that's to send the U.S. Marshals out to take somebody in and to hold them in contempt or to otherwise enforce court orders.

Well, who does the U.S. Marshals Service work for? The U.S. Marshals Service is part of the United States Department of Justice. It reports to Donald J. Trump, and what's going to happen here, mark my words, is that at some point, they are going to basically tell the United States Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, and you are not to enforce them and, once that happens, I mean, I hope it doesn't happen, but I know in my heart that it will, our 236-year experiment in the federal rule of law, in democratic self-governance for the United States of America, in American constitutionalism, is essentially over."

There are those who think I go overboard with my warnings about Turmp and Kash Patel turning the FBI into their personal Gestapo. I am glad you don't pull any punches in your chilling essay. I added a link to this Substack in my own today. https://halbrown.substack.com/p/three-weeks-in-and-we-have-fort-sumter

‘In our new age of terrifying, lethal gadgets, which supplanted so swiftly the old one, the first great aggressive war, if it should come, will be launched by suicidal little madmen pressing an electronic button. Such a war will not last long and none will ever follow it. There will be no conquerors and no conquests, but only the charred bones of the dead on an uninhabited planet.’

~ The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich by William L. Shirer

Sound familiar? I first read it when I was around 13. America now has its own ‘little madman’. We must figure out NOW what we are going to do about him.

We could start by taking this threat seriously. We don't get a second chance.

Thanks for digging into this eye-opening history, Tamra ... history the GOP would rather we forgot.

Again - I say a coup should be met with a counter coup, including use of our military.

Expand full comment

Nice thought, but who does the military report to (via SecDef hoochie hegseth)? The president. So military support seems unlikely. Wish I saw it differently.

Expand full comment

Does the military swear an oath to the president, or to the Constitution? Which is stronger, “report to” or “swear loyalty to”?

Expand full comment

More likely a Resistance of citizens with former military or police training.

On June 16, 2015 I saw the orange sadist for the first time. He was descending that golden elevator with melanoma. Don't ask me where this came from, but I jumped up from my chair and shouted, "It's Hitler!" It took a while (just as it did for Hitler), but he's gotten there.

Great article Earl.

Heinrich Himmler…

“Despite having continuously assured his SS officers and men that he ultimately would take responsibility for all of their actions, the end of the war found Himmler dressed in Secret Field Police uniform with papers in the name of Heinrich Hitzinger. Captured by Russian soldiers on May 20, 1945, he was turned over to the British, to whom he eventually confessed his identity. While undergoing a body search on May 23, 1945, Himmler killed himself by biting down on a cyanide capsule hidden in his mouth for that very purpose.”

I have been saying this for a while, that you for confirming. Next step for Trump is Martial Law.

Expand full comment

I think his next step - after Elon refuses the court telling him to cease and desist - will be to deputize his goons. Once he does that, we have a Gestapo. But I agree he'll use martial law at some point.

Where are determined voices of democratic reason, Earl? Are there any who have not sold out to the oligarchs and Corporate America, or is that merely a rhetorical question? We need to step up the pace and force of resistance while it’s still possible. Musk is like the blitzkrieg of German tanks that rolled in to subsume other sovereign nations, except it’s happening in America.

The one difference between the present day and Hitlers Germany is the 400 million guns awash in this country. And they ain’t all in the hands of imbecilic magas.

50% of us did not vote for TFG. I fear another civil war. Which is horrifically a better option than living under TFG and TFE’s nazi regime.

The cowardly GOP could stop this..

I hope the voting public remembers when they didn’t.

The civil war had a North and a south with a pretty clear division. How do you have a civil war with every other house on the block You're not going to work There's a good piece on martial law that shows that there are not enough soldiers and logistics possible to enforce it. It could be a bloody mess but not in any organized sense

Expand full comment

Well using our phones could make it organized..but yes to your point we are intermingled.

Though the cities are blue dots.

Expand full comment

Even phones aren't going to work. Did you see the commercial on Sunday that T-mobile has now partnered with Starlink owned by rocket man? And will now "turn your phone into a satellite phone." Which most likely will be tracked & monitored. And there was an option for Verizon & AT&T customers to try it.

I did not watch television on Sunday.

Well that’s more bad news.

Though There are burner phones that aren’t linked up.

It is really discouraging how much this administration has stomped all over the Constitution, broke one law after another, and is in the process of defying the courts. And the majority of Americans don’t know or are only vaguely aware of the fact that our democratic government is on the precipice of being gone. It’s also discouraging that as well as this democratic experiment was created, that there were not fail safes put in place to protect it from someone like Trump. The fact is that if Trump outright continues to defy the courts, the courts cannot enforce their rulings without law enforcement, which is part of the executive branch. We have no recourse unless Republicans in Congress grow a spine, which is highly unlikely.

We had a chance if three congressional open seats flipped blue, but the one election on Jan 28 resulted in a Republican win. Of the other two, one in Florida is scheduled April 2, with the other in New York not scheduled yet. So we could only get to 218 R and 217 D.

The last result is we the people. There are new 50501 protests scheduled for Feb 17 (President’s Day) https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/4Ybguik5vo, plus a couple of days of No Spending/No Working (one is March 15). Also some elected members are suggesting that they let the government shut down on March 15 to protest Trump’s actions, so they are learning how to fight back. We have a few options to DO SOMETHING!!! Please do your part.

Earl, I just want to thank you for sounding the alarm. I see us descending into fascism, which would eventually lead to Nazism. I am alerting my elected Democratic reps, receiving only pro- forma responses. At a minimum, Dems should refuse to cooperate in any way with the fascistic repulsive majority as they perpetrate pain and suffering on the American people. Just today a judge ruled that the Administration is refusing to comply with a court order to release funds so we are in a Constitutional crisis. I’m assessing my options for responding.

I understand that the marshals report to Bondi or Trump, which is a dead end, but since they’re already disregarding the Federal Judges orders, why can’t the DC police arrest these assholes?!? Also, I think I saw Jamie Raskin wants to file a class action suit for all of us against musk for identity theft.

I’m also disgusted at Alysa Slotkin , who I campaigned for, & Gary Peters, who’s retiring & has no skin in the game, both voted for the Laken Riley Act, f**cking Kristi Noem’s confirmation, & one other moron. Her voicemail has been full for 3 weeks & her other number goes to some repair shop! Were they sleeping during Obama’s administration when McConnel & co. blocked everything?!?

This effort is the culmination of 50 years of deliberate work to slowly insinuate themselves into local through to national politics by organizing voting public that never questions whatever they’re told. This their infamous plan for their “permanent Republican majority” before we whites are a demographic minority.
