Texans have a God-given right

Theocracy confirmed.

People should read up on the leadership conflict currently going on at the Library of Congress.

On May 8, 2025, two days after Hayden had given testimony to the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on House Administration,[80][81] via email and without any explanation, she was abruptly fired by President Trump … No replacement of Hayden has been nominated. Principal Deputy Librarian Robert Newlen,[86] who would have served as interim librarian was fired and Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting librarian of Congress and later fired the deputy librarian and copyright office director (Perlmutter and Newlen), appointing senior DOJ officials Brian Nieves and Paul Perkins as respectively, for the interim. This has been interpreted as an attack on the separation of powers.[87] Perlmutter has sued to dispute the legality of the dismissal,[88] as the Register is appointed by, and responsible to, the Librarian of Congress.

So currently there are two conflicting acting directors of LOC. One, who is a lawyer, appointed by Trump, whom noone at LOC accepts, and one librarian, who does the actual day to day administration.

It is curious that the article doesn’t mention who is speaking for the LOC, they are just twitter messages by the LOC account. I bet that while the Trump sycophant has no power over any of the librarians in LOC, he is in control of the LOC twitter account and the website, with some external techbros doing his bidding, and that is all he has to play with, yet unsurprisingly enough still managed to turn everything into shit just with those slivers of control.

The actual staff of the LOC are just doing their library thing (their youtube channel has been very active lately with some knowledgeable and interesting stuff), while this piece of shit is busy doing his Trump shit.

The point is that his enormous stupidity is only exceeded by his massive greed.

Yeah, a Trump never pays his bills, so why would he start paying other people’s bills?

*disinformation.

Our local lemmy tankie brigade are strangely indifferent to the doings of Trump and his fascist oligarch regime, but they are positively obsessed with the Democrats, even as the Trump regime is doing its best to ensure that elections and thus the Democrats will not be a thing in the future.

They will also claim to care about genocides, but they are not only strangely indifferent to the genocide occurring against the Ukrainians, they will happily regurgitate the Putin talking points used as an excuse for it.

These people are not really “the left”, they are authoritarians. They do care about any left wing issues, they do not care about the rights of the exploited and the weak, and they do not fear fascism, they are just mad that it isn’t themselves who are sitting in power right now.

It is like when Trump talks about Hannibal Lecter as his friend and a great guy.

The thing is that it took a powerful coalition of countries to actively wage war against him for years for that to happen. I am not seeing anything similar happening here.

This is all on Americans themselves.

That is a nice parody of the nonsense strawman arguments used by generation warriors. Because that is a parody, right? Right?

It is a typical tankie stance. You will see it all the time on .ml or similar. They pretend to care about the Palestinian genocide, but are not only perfectly fine with the Ukrainian one, they actively support Putin and his imperialist aggression.

It highlights that they don’t actually care about Palestine or genocide in general, they are just virtue signalling for “their side”.

Oligarchy has existed in the US since its inception. Fascist oligarchy is what has arrived.

There is no definition other than “everything right wingers don’t like”.

Which is even more suspicious, considering he does have a congress majority as well.

At some point all of the ignored court rulings will force him into a proper coup. Until then you are right.

Trump received 49.8% of the vote.

Even that is misleading, since this is just the percentage of the people who actually voted. More people didn’t vote at all than voted for him.

You should read up on what majority means, because the majority definitely did not vote Trump. A case could be made that the people who abstained from voting in effect voted for Trump, and then a majority did vote for him, but it is nowhere near a majority of people who actually voted Trump.

Trump officials deserve everything that is coming to them, and that includes dealing with an attention-seeking narcissistic billionaire who owns their boss.

“What about?”

Funny how you are unable to cope with Trump doing it, but constantly need to bring up the person who isn’t currently the president.

The thing is that he is the defacto ruler of the US right now. So his words are important, regardless of them all being nothing but gaslighting whiney bullshit.
