    Hello Ward,

    A lot of "the first of the month activity" again today.

    Since the USA no longer recignizes Maduro as president
    of Venezuela, who does the USA recogize as president of Russia?

    Does it matter?

    Half of the population of the USA doesn't even recognize their own president, the election process of whom has now been turned into a pharce for many elections...

    It's actually really interesting and entertaining to watch, especially now that the true MAGA Cult's plan for the future of the USA has been leaked.

    They simply translated the old Projekt 1933 from German to English and rebranded it as Project 2025. This is genius effort-saving for lazy politicians.

    It struck me immediately when I figured it out. It's OK for idiots to have weird ideas, but such a mass of people actually following such a sickening ideology ... as a journalist put it "The Republican party has been changed from a political unit into a dangerous cult" ... not surprising, the USA has a knack for dangerous cults ...

    That country is so sick and so wrong it will take a long time to mend it. My hope is that Kamela Harris will slice Trump and his affiliate idiot so thin, they qualify to be served at Arby's.

    I really hope Kamilla Harris wins. Because if Trump wins, I fear it will turn out that the so called "checks an balances" that have never really been tested with push coming to shove, will turn out not to work. When Trump gets a second term, he will find a way for a third term. And a fourth... He will follow the example of many other "elected" leaders that turn into auotocrats and it will be the end of democracy in the US as we know it. :(

    Fear no longer; it's already a documented fact, so you can be sure.

    He already attempted to pave the way for this in 2019 when he tried to issue an executive order that would enable him to replace an estimated all civil servants who did not pledge allegiance to His Highness. An estimated 100,000 servants would affected by this.

    This order was called Schedule F.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedule_F_appointment

    Fortunately for the US and thereby for the entire free world, thanks to him already having started the replacements in his own cabinet, this brain drain meant that he had very few able people left who could write the order properly. Then came the pandemic, so it wasn't until two weeks before the election in 2021 that he managed to issue it.

    After the inauguration, President Biden repealed the order on his third day, so nobody was affected by it.

    But if Trump is elected president again, Schedule F will surely be reinstated. The Project 2025 handbook clearly says so.

    No worry, Bjorn, the gold elite (Rockefeller, Morgan, Rothschild) will decide who will be,

    The candidate who they can manage the best like a puppet will be president.

    I sure am glad we have you Euro-commies to analyze and explain the finer points of USA politics/laws/procedures to us...... residents of the USA.

    Because naturally, those of us who actually live here, and are US
    citizens, couldn't possibly know anything about it on our own.

    We are not trying to explain the finer points of US politics to you US War Mongers. That would probably be a waste of time. Unfortunately what happens in the US affects us too. So we are analyzing what the consequences for us, residents of the part of the free world where hopefully democracy will last for at least another generation, will be if Trumps gets elected.

    Crawl back under a rock

    Sorry nocando. We have to protect ourselves. The rock will not protect us against the fall out if Trump becomes POTUS again.

    Well, there was some of that in my message, before you chose to snip it
    out of your reply. Very common with you, to remove context and try
    to make it seem like you're "wise".

    The truth is, you don't know *SHIT* about how things actually work here
    in the USA, and just like to hear yourself bleat about how badly the USA
    sucks as compared to your socialist/commie postage stamp of a country
    that has no relevance or impact on the world. If that makes you feel
    better, than have at it.

    Three times is the charm. As will be demonstrated by Kamala Harris,

    I will immediately hop onto the next flight out of New Orleans and
    make my way to Holland.

    MvdV> 1) There is no country called "Holland".

    There is no country called "America" as it is an idea.
    With that in mind, what does that make "Holland"? Is it an idea?
    Or an ideal? If so, what does it mean? Is it Dutch for "Holy Land"?

    MvdV> The country where I live is called "The Netherlands".

    The country where I live has no real name, as its very name
    is nothing but an idea. And what is an idea? A country where
    all men are created equal? What about women? Do they even
    count as people? And what about folks who are something else?
    Do they count as anything at all?

    My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

    What country could that be, this country without a name?

    An idea, rather than a country, is where I live.

    The country where I live has never had a female head of state.
    The other America currently has a female head of state.
    That is the difference between the two Americas in the New World.

    The United States of America
    The United States of Mexico

    You see how silly that is. The United States of an idea,
    versus The United States of a place. Both are real countries.
    But one of them is a joke.

    The USA is the *only* country in the civilized world that has
    never had a female head of state. An idea that will soon become
    a thing of the past.

    MvdV> 2) What makes you think you are welcome here?

    My name is Lee. I know kung flu. And so do Dutch women.

    For Life,

    Well, there was some of that in my message, before you chose to snip

    The truth is, you don't know *SHIT* about how things actually work

    the USA sucks as compared to your socialist/commie postage stamp of a country that has no relevance or impact on the world. If that makes

    I dunno, I thought he was pretty spot on about Project 2025 and schedule F.

    But I'm just here in commie/socialist ... uh ... where am I? Wisconsin?

    Oh shit, I hear we're going to play a major role in deciding the outcome of the presidential election in November.

    OK. I understood it like that you put Trump and warmonger on the

    That's exactly what he did. Now he's playing word-salad games to try

    It's funny. Trump started getting called out for his word-salad early this year. Suddenly conservatives scream "WORD SALAD!" at anything and everything that scares them. Have you people ever come up with an original thought that hasn't been fed to you by your cult hierarchy?

    (Everything scares them. Immigrants, dark-skinned people, LGBTQ+ people, scientists, experts, women, young people, unions, planned parenthood, obamacare, equality, education, abortion, rainbows, vaccines, anyone who works for the government, anyone who doesn't work... It must be exhausting!)


    I remember the first election a few years back. Trump won the
    election. From morning to evening, Czech television broadcasted
    hysterical glosses suggesting that the world "as we know it has
    just ended". It was like Orwell's Hate Week. And ... the world
    didn't end.

    It keeps ending every day for those with TDS (Trump Derangement

    But if only the Secret Service can keep Harris and Walz alive for nine years, the USA can probably become a happy country again, climbing from its present, dismal 23rd place to the Top 10.

    It'd be nice, but a lot has to change. I don't think 9 years is going to do it. We've been force fed this "BE AFRAID OF <thing>!" narrative force-fed to us for the past 25+ years, and there's no end in sight.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    [..]

    Fear no longer; it's already a documented fact, so you can be sure.

    I know nothing.

    He already attempted to pave the way for this in 2019 when he tried to issue
    an executive order that would enable him to replace an estimated all civil servants who did not pledge allegiance to His Highness. An estimated 100,000 servants would affected by this.

    I still know nothing.

    This order was called Schedule F.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedule_F_appointment


    That was then. This is now. Which might explain why I know nothing.

    Fortunately for the US and thereby for the entire free world, thanks to him
    already having started the replacements in his own cabinet, this brain drain meant that he had very few able people left who could write the order
    properly. Then came the pandemic, so it wasn't until two weeks before the election in 2021 that he managed to issue it.

    The timing of this so-called "schedule F" - October 2020 - raises
    a few very interesting questions. Namely what did the president know,
    and when did he know it?

    "I know nothing about Project 2025 ... I have not seen it, have no
    idea who is in charge of it. ... Some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous amd abnormal ... I have no idea who is behind
    it." ~Donald Trump, July 2024

    You know as well as everybody else that Trump never lies.
    So please. Your turn to 'fess up.

    After the inauguration, President Biden repealed the order on his third day,
    so nobody was affected by it.

    Executive orders are not repealed. The Congress can object or keep
    it from being implemented. Or another president can choose to ignore
    it, or issue a different executive order. But it is never repealed.

    Go ahead. Look them up. All of them. In consecutive order. From
    George Washington all the way up to Joe Biden.

    But if Trump is elected president again, Schedule F will surely be reinstated. The Project 2025 handbook clearly says so.

    "They're going to lay the groundwork, and detail the plans for
    exactly what our movement will do." ~Donald Trump, April 2022, in
    a speech to the Heritage Foundation

    "I know nothing." ~Donald Trump, July 2024
