As you likely know, the Sweet Potato's administration has outlawed certain words from appearing in federal documents and further should be scrubbed from existing documents. The usual suspects are on the list such as "inclusion" and "multicultural", but it doesn't stop there. Of course not.
In this new age there is no more "equality'' and "women" have been disappeared, as has "female". I can only guess what they are using for substitutes, but I'd guess "dame" and "chick" might fill this new gap in federal locution. Also gone are "hate speech", "victim", and "race". It's a lengthy list and you can find it in a number of places, but this handy link will still serve.
But even with all this nonsense, the one word that leapt out at me was "justice". "Justice" has been removed from the coming fascist state, but then we already knew that. Combine that with the Congress threatening to unravel the federal court system which has to this point been the only constraint on executive power demonstrated, and we see that "justice" is not a priority or even a consideration for his fascist regime.
Rip Off
I was watching Sky news this am and was stunned to hear a Trump spokeswoman , when asked by a UK journalist about the latest Trump administration foul up (What's app plans on Yemen), say ( no aggresively bark) "...we dont give a crap about the UK.." and then some nonsense about immigration in America and questioning "women raped in Britain" What type of diplomacy is that . It seems shouting down and diverting the topic to another subject is now America's way to deal with anything they are challenged on . I'm sure his battle against diversity will be applauded by many in the US and elsewhere that don't quite get why it's needed and instead will use the "woke" card.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard that specific rebuff by a spokeswoman, but I'll seek it out. Diverting to another topic is the go-to for these guys and never saying you're sorry is also key. Sweet Potato Hitler will sack you if you apologize. When he's backed into a wall he throws them under the bus, but he expects utter loyalty. It's madness to work for him. The smell of power must be sweet indeed to put up with his bullshit. I choose not, and I can only apologize on behalf of my country for all this nonsense.
DeleteI just saw the comments myself and even by her usual ghastly standards they were terrible. She uses those bully tactics to move the conversation away from content to form and she spends all her time bitching about fabricated offenses.
DeleteI've just seen the incident Paul McScotty was referring to on the Maximilien Robespierre politics website. The Trump spokeswoman is Marjorie Taylor Greene who is always an unpleasant character or so I've heard but I don't know much about her I must admit. Her boyfriend is a journalist who asked President Zelenskyy why he never wears a suit when he visited the White House last month.
ReplyDeleteGreene or "MTG" as she's derisively known over here is a loudmouth moron. She's famous for talking loudly about issues she barely understands. She's part of a gang of pols we have now who are more interested in social media clicks than policy. I've only seen her husband a time or two, but he seems to be about the same deal. MTG is a disgrace.
