Republican Leadership Is A Threat To America

If you haven't read "Fascism: A Warning" by Madeline Albright, get a copy. Very scary, and it's coming our way. People need to read history. When I was young, I wondered how the Nazi's found so many people to go along with all that they were doing, but in the last 8 years, I've seen how it can happened and how it is happening here as well.

"The fact that we had chosen red as the colour for our posters sufficed to attract them to our meetings. The ordinary bourgeoisie were very shocked to see that, we had also chosen the symbolic red of Bolshevism and they regarded this as something ambiguously significant. The suspicion was whispered in German Nationalist circles that we also were merely another variety of Marxism, perhaps even Marxists suitably disguised, or better still, Socialists. The actual difference between Socialism and Marxism still remains a mystery to these people up to this day. The charge of Marxism was conclusively proved when it was discovered that at our meetings we deliberately substituted the words 'Fellow-countrymen and Women' for 'Ladies and Gentlemen' and addressed each other as 'Party Comrade'. We used to roar with laughter at these silly faint-hearted bourgeoisie and their efforts to puzzle out our origin, our intentions and our aims." -- Hitler, Mein Kampf
 
The Pubs may have a fetish (not a sexual fetish) for the 1950s. It was a miserable and oppressive period for the people who lived then, but it was also a time of wealth and growth of the American empire. The material comfort of that period fuels the nostalgia that is being used as marketing for what they want to achieve, which mostly won't be anything like the actual 1950s. There will be technological adaptations to use less energy and shorter supply chains, but the oppressive social order won't be repeated, and the imperial growth can't be repeated.
What can't be repeated is the broadly shared prosperity. It was a time when the difference between the working class and the middle class faded, because it was possible for a white man, at least, with only a high-school education to earn a middle-class income through manual labor. That will not happen again in our lifetime.
 
I’d missed the fact that the Clown Show administration’s choice to head NOAA was involved in the hurricane Sharpie incident. 😆

Jacobs, who was acting NOAA administrator during President Donald Trump’s first term, was cited for misconduct related to the “Sharpiegate” hurricane forecasting controversy.

It’s a historic gathering of jackasses.

NOAA fired 880 employees for show. The money saved isn’t even a drop in the bucket of federal spending.
