Who can we trust? Jan. 19, 2026

 

Madness on all sides

Our Democratic U.S. Senator called Trump a megalomaniac.  He’s right, as far as that goes, but this is a progressive Democrat, whose party has abused power, perhaps even stole a presidential election, and vowed to destroy the supreme court, the electoral college, the filibuster and erode other constitutional protections that keep that party from imposing its will on smaller republican states.

At the end of the day, neither side can be trusted, and we are forced to choose which poison we choose to drink.

The Democrats are very upset by Trump’s use of ICE to remove illegal immigrants that Democrats allowed into the country under Biden’s presidency.

This is all about money and representation, ahead of the 2030 US Census that requires everybody be counted, legal or not, and Democrats could lose as many as 40 congressional seats if Trump’s deportation succeeds.

Under Biden, Democrats have steered billions of tax revenues to their favored supporters, especially in regard to the dubious Green Science, and this is another sore point as Trump dismantles their money machine.

There are no good guys in this dispute, and so, we are forced to choose between the megalomaniac republicans or the greedy democrats – the latter of which hide behind high-sounding slogans while exploiting the deaths of misguided protestors.

As much as Trump scares me – especially his plan to take control of Greenland – the Democrats scare me more – since they already control major media and will destroy the constitution (if they regain power) to assure us nobody like Trump; will be able to rise to power in the future.

We only narrowly avoided seeing the Democrats gut federal protections under Biden – partly because he was an incompetent crook and partly due to one U.S. Senator who stood up against his own party.

Biden is gone; so is that senator. We may not be as lucky next time as we were in the past.

The question remains: how much damage can Trump do over the next three years, and is it worth keeping him in place in order to avoid Democratic control?

Democrats already proved they can be as equally ruthless as Trump and perhaps much more unethical, weaponizing federal agencies, putting relatively innocent Jan. 6 protestors in jail, creating fake charges against Trump (if they can do that to Trump, they can do it to anyone.)

At the end of the day, who can we trust?

Is Trump leading us to world war

 Should we be scared? is history really repeating itself, a new megalomaniac who will lead the world back into global conflict from which this time we might not escape unscathed.

Protesters paint Trump as a new Hitler and can point to actions he has taken that seemed to in lockstep with what Hitler did in his rise to power century ago.

This has to raise questions as to whether or not the outcome will be the same.

 the Nazis scapegoated jew in their attempt to make Germany great again, following along an established pattern of oppression, demonizing, separating then exterminating them.

 regardless of how current the crop of illegal immigrants are here ridding our country of them is too strongly resembling the stormtrooper ethics of the past.

But this is hardly the only similarity

 the attacks on Venezuela and the hijacking of its oil is very close to what Hitler ordered his troops to do to feed his war machine and while Congress has acted to resist Trump from ordering an invasion, there are still parts of the world the president has taken aimed at, and has not ruled out the use of force, such as to acquire Greenland.

This last is startling me because the West let Hitler do similar steps in Europe before finally putting its foot down when it came to Poland. this could put us on the path to war with our own allies and makes me wonder if we will see a repeat of the Hitler Stalin pact, as Trump sides with Putin to divide up the world. 

Of course this seems far fetched yet nobody expected Germany to do what it did until it did it and already liberal leaders are telling troops to disobey Trump, suggesting they fear the worst and a rise of a maga movement, not too dissimilar to the Nazis 

All this may be moot. Democrats may take back Congress this year and block these moves but again the courts in Germany also supported the Nazis and the military and what he said will they do the same with Trump

If you don’t want to be called a nazi; don’t act like one

 

They hauled more people off the streets here, dragging them off bus stops and out of stores, laying them on the ground, hands cuffed behind them before the meat wagon came to drag them off to jail.

There has to be a better, more humane way to deal with illegal immigrants, even if this is being done to undo the damage Biden causes when he threw open the borders to allow tens of millions of people to flow into the United States, later scattering them around the country so they could not be easily traced.

So, as a result ICE grabs everybody, recent arrivals as well as those who’ve been here for years, sending them back to countries that really do not want them back – a ruthlessness that gives potency to the protestors who have come to compare ICE agents at Nazis.

If ICE doesn’t want to be labelled as Nazis, they shouldn’t act like Nazis.

My friend in a neighboring town saw some of this, the bread-winners for whole families carted off to private prisons, leaving wives and children back at home to wonder what happened to them, later discovering they are being held in private jails with little or no legal recourse.

There is more than enough blame to go around. Obama did the same thing, even going as far as to put kids in cages – and people consider him a kinder and gentler president as compared to the one we currently have. Clinton and Congress passed legislation in the 1990s that allowed the White House to deport people without due process. So, if we are indeed a new Nazi Germany, it has been decades in the making, as history will likely show.

Hitler did the same thing to the Jews and others, and when he could not transport Jews to Palestine (which was then a Jewish state), he resorted to his Final Solution, partly because it was impossible to deal with the mass number of people involved.

Some activists fear Trump will resort to similar tactics when it becomes evident it may be impossible to deal with some many illegal immigrants that Biden allowed to cross the border. You really can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

While I don’t think we will see the mass slaughter we saw in Germany during the early 1940s, many people back then didn’t believe Germany would either, and the tactics of ICE so much resemble those employed by Nazis in the early year of the Holocaust that the comparison is inevitable, maybe even justified. If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, don’t act like one.
