If there is still anyone who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump yearns to be an unchallengeable totalitarian dictator, he is doing his darnedest to satisfy all doubters as to his authoritarian aspirations. And he’s doing it openly and without a sliver of shame or any pretense of respect for the democratic principles that shaped America.<\/p>\n

With only a week before the U.S. government will shutdown unless Congress passes legislation to keep it open, Trump has demonstrated that he not only has no interest in keeping the government open, he is actively endeavoring to shut it down. To hell with whoever is hurt by it. To Trump, obedience to his MAGA-sty is paramount. And any dissenters will be persecuted.<\/p>\n

In fact, before he even made this determination, he had already told his MAGA cronies in Congress not to negotiate with the Democrats. That’s a certain path toward failure and a shutdown of the government that will be entirely the fault of Trump and the GOP.<\/p>\n

Yet, Republicans are proposing a short term bill that would just kick the ball down to November 21 (only two months), when their non-negotiating tactics would resume right before Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Trump is unloading his standard barrage of utterly ridiculous falsehoods intended to malign the Democratic Party. In his posting he listed the following agenda items that he attributed to Democrats…<\/p>\n
