The Voice of America is going, going, gone. But not to worry. It will soon be replaced by The Voice of Trump. And to further aid the spread of his good news, The Voice of Trump will automatically play in every home and workplace for twelve hours, each and every day.
tRump's regime has flipped the old saying, "Say nothing if you have nothing good to say." His fascist regime's model today is "Spew shit wherever we can to cover our tracks, whilst hiding all the good stuff Amerika's got to say." Normally, this would erode their support leading to a weakening of their rule. But today is different. Amerika is populated by a population that is stupid, ignorant, and evil alongside a bunch of Amerikans who are too decadent to notice what's going on. This is why Amerika's democracy is dying.
The thought of the VOA being silenced makes sense in this turbulent administration. (effed up administration) I don't know what it was broadcasting these days or what affect it had what it's loss means to people... but it's yet another part of our history, democracy and institutions being dismantled in the name of project 2025. It seems like yet another big deal to many yet we also have a ton of voters that never heard of it, so the don't care. The uneducated, uninformed or ill-Informed voter in this respect is a feature of authoritarianism.
Thanks for standing on the parapet, Charlie, every day. We simply cannot let stand what Trump and Musk and their whole administration are doing to the country and the Constitution.
These are the Corporations that should be TAXED FIRST...at RATES HIGHER THAN IMPOSED on the AVERAGE CITIZEN...This to turn the tide on the USofA National Debt of $36.22 Trillion.
You can start by Re-imbursing all those NATIONS that hold US DEBT...including Canada to the tune of $380 Billion...and say Japan at $1.1 Trillion...the list goes on and on...
It's high time the Nation of Sheep to inform the Government of Wolves to take RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INTERNATIONAL DEBT. The Administration under Drumpf and his Oligarchs must understand that the DEBT must be OWNED by THE FED. GOV. and those that have PROFITED THE MOST...and these are the TOP 100 CORPORATIONS IN AMERICA. These are the ORGANISATIONS that NEED TO BE TAXED AT MUCH GREATER % RATES than the Average American Citizen. Fair is Fair...and Old Donny Boy...if you don't tax these Corporations ...you're looking down the barrel of an INSURMOUNTABLE REVOLUTION...as the CITIZENS of AMERICA are not WILLING TO TAKE THE HIT for your INEPTITUDE In GOVERNANCE and PATRONAGE of the SUPER WEALTHY!
IT'S TIME to PAY DOWN THE DEBT for the FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE DONNY BOY...TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. But unfortunately we all know your track record in Leading a Business has been one of Bankruptcy, certainly not one of a Respected Growth amongst your peers.
We know that the RUSSIANS SAVED YOUR ASS IN BUSINESS...and helped you get ELECTED IN YOUR FIRST TERM.
We all know you're not going to find the FUNDS to SAVE AMERICA from DEBT...by the IMPOSITION of TARRIF'S [that's just a smoke screen for your Mega Supporters]...and you'll never find the FUNDS through DOGE [another smoke screen to appease your Maga Clan]...and we know if you PROVIDE TAX BENEFITS & RELIEF to the SUPER RICH OLIGARCHS and THEIR CORPORATIONS...that you will NEVER PAY DOWN THE DEBT. AMERICA will be BEHOLDEN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...A WORLD THAT ALREADY HOLDS ALL OF AMERICA'S DEBT.
To American citizens...please vote to change your GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW...SPEAK UP TO POWER...or you are destined for the DARK AGES...you're well on your way already...so it's TIME FOR A REVOLUTION...IT'S TIME TO SAVE YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH...IT'S TIME TO STAND FOR YOUR A BETTER FUTURE!
If the Democratic Party had its act together, it would find one or more billionaire angels to fund a domestic Voice-of-America-style network to counter Trumpist propaganda and keep the public up to date on Trump and Elon's latest lawless outrages. It would also let is know what our Democratic Party leaders are doing to fight back against Trump and his allies and accomplices.
Since the Democratic leadership is playing possum, don't count on them doing anything like this any time soon.
The Kari Lake angle is particularly delicious. I live in Arizona so we’ve been dealing since 2022 with this batshit Trump wannabe. “They” called her “Trump in a dress”. Who’s they, I wonder? I call her a loser that cannot read the room. Then she ran for senate. And lost. Again. Then this utter sycophant grovels at Mar-a-Lago for something. Anything! So she gets the VOA gig knowing full well that she’s going to get canned because it’s in Project 2025. Humiliating. LOSER. Made me chuckle. Ya gotta take the joy when it’s offered.
Silencing the Voice of America is a dread occurrence since my wife and her relatives would gather around the radio when she was a child in order to hear news which was not propaganda. It was a communal and formative experience. "it is tragically consistent with Trump’s retreat from the leadership of the Free World.² Actually, Trump has neither abdicated nor abandoned his position. He is actively and intentionally destroying the Free World. His greatest wish is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the totalitarians, Vladimir and Xi, as the third member of that exclusive club. Unfortunately, his ardent followers will never admit their mistake even when they are impoverished and subjugated. The politically malleable will ultimately see their mistake but by then it will be too late. Those two group comprise around two-thirds of society. "First they fascinate the fools, then muzzle the intelligent" was Bernard Russel's quip about authoritarianism. It has played out right before our eyes. It is up to the remaining third to resurrect society. How do we do it?
is that a lever that can be pulled in order to rebuild democracy at home? Can we rebuild America from the outside in? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or cynical with regard to this question. It is an honest query regarding how to address the problem at the domestic political level. Things are falling apart so fast here at home that I fear there will be no foundation for soft power either here or abroad.
What's the over/under on Trump coming out after talking to Putin by saying something along lines of "Putin denies attacking Ukraine very strongly. I'm not sure why he would attack Ukraine. Each country wants peace...beautiful peace...and it's just a matter of working things out."
In other words, he's going to screw Ukraine. Putin will have his way with him.
Well, the odds are good that the president with a child's vocabulary will recycle his lame superlative "very strongly," sooner rather than later. I doubt he'd put it quite like that, however. That sentence is far too grammatical for the Bronx Boor.
Putin has already scored the winning field goal. Not a touchdown, but a field goal in overtime. Trump received the snap from center and held the ball. Whose team does Trump play for?
WHEN ARE R's GOING TO COME TO THEIR SENSES? If a D had dared to do a tenth , a hundredth of the things POS and Skum are doing, they would have been impeached!

Something’s got to give.
And please do a dog calendar

Oh, were you were one of tRump's suckers or losers?
Sorry, but your message is falling on deaf ears. When they are licking tRump's ass they cannot hear anything but the rapist emperor's moans.
Anyone know how to build a crystal short wave radio? Looks like we need to really return to 100 years ago to have our messages heard.
Silencing the Voice of America is a dread occurrence since my wife and her relatives would gather around the radio when she was a child in order to hear news which was not propaganda. It was a communal and formative experience. "it is tragically consistent with Trump’s retreat from the leadership of the Free World.² Actually, Trump has neither abdicated nor abandoned his position.

It is up to the remaining third to resurrect society. How do we do it?
I'd cheerfully help in crowdfunding VOA; much rather that than any of the political operations that are constantly begging for more money.
is that a lever that can be pulled in order to rebuild democracy at home? Can we rebuild America from the outside in? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or cynical with regard to this question. It is an honest query regarding how to address the problem at the domestic political level. Things are falling apart so fast here at home that I fear there will be no foundation for soft power either here or abroad.
It's a legitimate question, and one of many that we need to ask and answer very quickly.
If you have ideas, I am all ears.
I wish I had more than I do, but that's the problem with once in a lifetime situations.
What's the over/under on Trump coming out after talking to Putin by saying something along lines of "Putin denies attacking Ukraine very strongly. I'm not sure why he would attack Ukraine. Each country wants peace...beautiful peace...and it's just a matter of working things out."

Disgusting.
Well, the odds are good that the president with a child's vocabulary will recycle his lame superlative "very strongly," sooner rather than later. I doubt he'd put it quite like that, however. That sentence is far too grammatical for the Bronx Boor.
Just flip the two headed coin.
Putin has already scored the winning field goal. Not a touchdown, but a field goal in overtime. Trump received the snap from center and held the ball. Whose team does Trump play for?
"VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT" Wouldn't we all love to see those words over the Trump Administration's tombstone?
I think it's quite fitting that Kari Lake, who was a typical propaganda bimbo for Trump, gets demoted first. So much for performance . . .
Those dogs seem to know just when to stand still and pose pretty for photos. So much snow for this time of year in Wisconsin.
WHEN ARE R's GOING TO COME TO THEIR SENSES? If a D had dared to do a tenth , a hundredth of the things POS and Skum are doing, they would have been impeached!
Let's face it...Biden did nothing like this...and they still tried to impeach him!
