The Bottom of the Bottom

these would be members of the cabinet. Maybe Cash Battel would be the head of the CIA, which is what Steve Bannon used on his show. Maybe Stephen Miller would be the head of the Justice Department. And folks, you know, I know that many if you would love to say, oh, that'll never happen, that'll never happen, let us just be reminded that everything that we thought would never happen has

actually happened and worse right, so here we are. We also had a clown car Debate aka the Republicans Fourth Debate where they had their you know the bench on the stage, who is NICKI Haley, the vech Ramaswami, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie. First of all, let me just start with Vivek, who is just a fucking idiot. Like, let's just say that the contempt that is shown by other Republicans towards the Vek just says it all right,

because they're the bottom of the bottom. And I'll get to Nicki Haley in a minute, they are the bottom of the bottom. But the fact that he is the one that they can't stand and the one that they want to shut up. And you know, I'll give credit where credit is due onlike the Republicans do, which is

that Chris Christy actually did a good job. But why do we think that he's the only one on the stage taking on Donald Trump because he knows that he is not going to be president of the United States, that he is frankly there and will ride this out as long as he can to be a disruptor in this election to remind people how bad Donald Trump actually is.

But if Chris Christy were serious about becoming president, he would need to court that very base that is not going to leave Donald Trump right, that will support him no matter what. So when he decides to take on the vigue for his nasty and insulting comments towards Nicki Haley, who I don't give a fuck about. Let me just be honest. You can say whatever you want to about Nicki Haley, unlike fight your own battles, right, you want to be president of the United States, then go toe

to toe because ain't nobody coming in to rescue you. Okay, So that's just a number one, But be number two. He is the only one that will actually say things to the effect of Donald Trump is not going to be able to even vote for himself because by the time that the election happens, he could be convicted of federal crimes. And what do we know that happens? When you are convicted of federal crimes, you lose your ability

to vote. So he has his jabs that he's giving on stage, and rightfully so because the people need to remember. But again we're talking about a Fox audience, so they know they just don't give a fuck, right. So that debate was a mess. But clearly CNN still wants to get on the fucking bandwagon because they've decided and just announced that there are going to be two debates that they are going to put on. Why it's not as if they are huge ratings boosters. Why why platform these

people that offer nothing to the American people? Now, let me go to Nicki Haley for a minute. When I talk about offering nothing. So, Nicki Haley was in the Trump administration as a what if it is you an ambassador or something to that effect, and she was governor we know, And on stage this week, what did she say to Ron DeSantis with regard to his quote unquote don't say gay bill? She said that he didn't go

far enough. Let that sink in because Nicki Haley, for some fucking reason, is being labeled as the potential successor to Donald Trump and the one that Republican billionaires want to put their money behind because they don't think that she's as bad. Let me tell you the only difference between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley, right, or Donald Trump and any of those people on the stage. He's the only one with ninety one counts against him in four

indictments across multiple jurisdictions. He's the only one that has been held guilty right of sexual assault and liable for defamation. Right, He's the only one that is embattled. But as it turns out, with regard to his ideology, his philosophy, his rhetoric. They're all in lockstep. So don't come to me and say that, Oh, Haley wouldn't be as bad if she were president of the United States, because as a black, queer woman in these United States, I don't want that

bitch anywhere near the executive office. And yes, I said bitch, because that's exactly what she is. Have you heard some of the things that she has said about trans youth, about trans girls bullying middle schoolers who just want to play sports with their friends. Have you heard some of the vicious things that have come out of her mouth.

So I don't really care about being nice to Nicki Haley or being thoughtful in terms of the language that I use, because what I would like is for her to be thoughtful about the language that she uses when she continues to place the target on the back of trans people that are already marginalized in this country and whose murder rate is well above the national fucking average.

So every time that she opens up her stupid fucking mouth, every time Ron de Santis rolls out some type of egregious, draconian policy, all you're doing is giving license to people to dehumanize and potentially kill people who they don't like. That's what you're doing. So here's the thing. There is nobody who is going to be quote unquote better for the country that has in our left after their name.

Not one person, okay, anyone that was left that was quote unquote reasonable left Congress, passed away, or is no longer wanted inside of the party. You know, when we go back to listening to Liz Cheney, right, Liz Cheney, who voted with Donald Trump over ninety percent of the time. The only thing that she did not agree with Donald Trump on was inciting an insurrection and then lying about it.

But everything else, throwing kids in cages, shutting down borders to people from must nations, upending our public school system in favor of charter schools, all of these things Liz Cheney was about. And let us not forget who her daddy is, Darth Vader himself. So the only reason why Liz Cheney isn't running for the Republican nomination is because she's the most hated person inside of the Republican Party.

But I'm certain that she, much like Mitt Romney, has the ability to afford twenty four hour protection, because if I were her, I would absolutely want some. So let's go back to Donald Trump's comments. So this week, Donald Trump is on with Sean Hannity in a pre tape and he brings up the fact that he, oh, you know,

doesn't really believe in democracy. When Sean Hannity tried to give him an out, will you weaponize the office if you are to be president of the United States again, will you wage a campaign of retribution and redemption on behalf of those who've been wronged? He said yes to all of those things, right, like, oh no, I'm just going to be a dictator on day one, right and then after that, ha ha ha. But what got mean what I continue to say all week long wasn't Donald

Trump continuing to say the quiet part out loud. It was the raucous, sinister laughter and cheers from an American audience cheering on the idea of Donald Trump becoming a dictator. And this is the shit that I want people to have sinking through their mind when they say things like I'm not voting for Biden. I can't stomach it. Can you stomach Donald Trump being the last president of the United States? And for those people that are like, I'm not going to vote from fear. I know that I've

woken up with nightmares this week. I'm not voting for a person. I'm voting for democracy. I'm voting to continue some form of liberation and freedom ish in this country,

as imperfect as it is. But I know, good goddamn well that if Donald Trump becomes president and he is able to stack his cabinet with people like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller and Caspitel and whoever else, the ultimate fucking villains, white supremacists, misogynists, pigs of the party, if he's able to install those people, what do you think

is happening to the rest of us. There are no checks and balances the second time around, because they already tested the fences, and they know where things are weak, and they know how to move and how to move faster than they did the first fucking time. I say this on every show that I have. The Heritage Foundation has their one hundred day plan up on their website for twenty twenty five to install all of the people inside of agencies that will undo those agencies and basically

our constitution with it. They are telling you their plans folks. It's not a secret, but I do want to share with you on this good fucked Friday, parts of a piece that is up at the Guardian dot com right now, written by Gordon Brown, who is the former UK Prime Minister, and it's entitled this Here's what Trump two point zero will bring ignorance and vengeance in the US, chaos for

world order, and this is how he begins. This year has been dominated by the Russian Ukraine War recession, the China US standoff, and the Hamas terrorist attack and Gaza War. Yet as earth shattering as these conflicts and tragedies are, the next two years could aggravate them and surpass them all if the threat of a second Trump presidency comes

to pass. Listen to this piece. At a moment that urgently needs a firefighter to stamp out the embers of conflict, Americans and the rest of the world may find an arsonist in the White House. It is not just the survival of American democracy that will be on the ballot in twenty twenty four, but stability and progress everywhere. He goes on to say, a second Trump administration, in which he has brazenly vowed to be a quote dictator on day one would be a disaster domestically. Trump's quote new

independence is no longer just an economic agenda. Gone is the twenty sixteen talk of massive deregulation, privatization of public services,

and big tax cuts. Instead, his policies are based on his personal prejudices and his desire for vengeance, deporting homeless people from urban areas, imposing death sentences on drug traffickers, legitimizing shoot and kill even for shoplifters, repatriating the children of undocumented whom he accuses of quote poisoning the blood of our country, purging freethinking academics in educational institutions, and what he says he will make his first act clearing

out what he refers to folks as the quote vermin and traders, namely those government officials who would refuse to be yes men for his grotesque policies. In this piece, Gordon Brown goes on to lay out the global threat, not just the national security threat, but the global threat that we face under a Trump administration two point zero.

Because folks, everything that you have to understand is that if Donald Trump becomes president again, let me say it again, he will be the last president of the United States, because he will put in place everyone who will usher around elections, right like pageants, they don't really mean anything, that people don't really have a voice or a vote, but will pretend to do them, just like Iran pretends to have elections, just like Hungary pretends to have elections,

but you know that they're all corrupt and the people are just stuck. And then folks will say, well, we'll protest. Well, guess who has control over the fucking military and guess who will actually be able to then turn the military towards the enemies inside of this country who he deems as enemiesbody who dissents, Remember that he wanted to shoot people in the leg folks, but it was General Madison said, yeah, no, we can't do that. The military is not to be

used on the American people. But we absolutely have seen, from Fercusing in twenty thirteen to Black Lives Matter protests to this summer of twenty twenty, just how militarized police departments have become. Donald Trump also joked with them, sup the county police officers where I'm from on Long Island. Just rough them up a bit. Don't be so nice. Do you know what those cops did. They laughed in return. There will be no out. There will be no Let's

get him next time and again. For those people who think that they can just ride out this storm, imagine it and liking it to riding out a Category five hurricane on a match stick seems pretty fucking ridiculous, right, gonna hold onto the match stick to hold you up? I don't think so. So let's not play games like we have all of the options in the world. We don't. And I'm not saying, folks that the options that we have on the democratic side are great, because I'm just

as angry as all of you are. But I know that I don't want to be thrown in some type of fucking camp or have to flee this country in a very real and serious way. Because if you have somebody like Stephen Miller that is the head of the Department of Justice, what the fuck do you think is going to happen to journalists? Donald Trump already threatened to shut down MSNBC and NBC. It will not stop there. Oh, you can't do that. You can't do that. You can

do whatever you want. When you have pushed the boundaries of law to its breaking point. Gordon says this to round out his peace, it is crucial to understand that Trump cannot be defeated by narrowing the difference between him and his Democratic opponents. It would be a mistake for them to dilute or abandon progressive policies and indulge in protectionism, mercantilism,

and xenophobia. Recent elections in Europe, where the far right has made con considerable gains, show that if moderates allow the election agenda to be captured by far right anti immigrant, anti environmental, anti internationalist rhetoric, the far right wins. The evidence is that those Americans most likely to switch to Trump are those who now see the US not as a land of opportunity, but as in US versus Them society in which you can only succeed at other's expense.

There is a pessimism about the country's future because for many years, a low growth America has not been delivering for working people. They want a fairer society, and meeting Trump halfway on his anti globalization agenda won't defeat him, but an open dialogue with the American people that elevates the case for fairness justice and equality will folks. The

stakes are too high to gamble with our future. That is it for me today on Woke a f as always Power to the people and to all the people power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
