With Donald Trump's White House cracking down on the tone of Smithsonian exhibits, the world's largest museum and research complex is now facing more outrage from the right.
NEW: Trump administration says US government to screen immigrants for "antisemitic ideologies" when applying to live or work in the United States, adding that antisemitism is anti-Americanism.
Are you aware that there is another option? One that was in place until this year where companies acted independently. One where government interaction was only to make sure the laws were followed.
Government control of nominally private companies . . . is literally the definition of (economic) fascism.
Seeing a story like this financial takeover of Intel, AMD, NVidia, CBS, etc posted here is the probably the only exposure a Trump supporter has to these stories.
It is so bizarre that we can look through the Biden / Harris thread and see so many maga posters talking about political corruption, socialism, power grabs, government control of companies, etc. When the same is shown of the Trump admin, the response is usually:
It is OK if Trump does it.
They did it first, so we had to do it harder.
The answer to corruption and power overreach is stricter limits on those things. It is absolutely not to do more of them in the name of revenge and suppression.

Oh, gosh. I can't believe I forgot the most common, yet most pitiful response:
But.. woke / trans !!!
That one makes all grift, corruption, and law breaking ok in the Trump supporter mind.
"Sorry football fans! Because the Super Bowl [2023] was held in Arizona, the results of the game, after a lengthy analysis currently taking place of the “holding” call, will not be known for at least 4 weeks. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope that you thoroughly enjoyed the game!"
Trump would deserve a prize if he did something that stopped or even slowed the Gaza and Ukraine wars. But he keeps doing things that make the wars worse.
He opened weapons floodgates to Israel with no restrictions. They have used them to do ethnic clensing/ genocide without a single action by Trump to prevent it.
In Ukraine Trump has sided with Russia over and over, undermining Ukraine & Zelenskyy both in media and by cutting off weapons.
I will make the bold prediction that the Alaska talks will result in nothing tangible and Trump will make a statement effusively praising Putin. A massive Russian drone strike will hit Ukraine within days. Trump will impotently do nothing. I hope I am wrong.
Continuing with the boldness, all of that will happen, Trump and his sycophants will continue to say that he’s great at negotiating “deals” (I hate even saying that word at this point), and a huge fraction of America will continue to believe it.
How did I do with my prediction?
Nothing tangible came from the talks. Check.
Trump praised Putin. Check.
Putin launched a wave of drone strikes on Ukrainian civilians. Check.
Trump has done nothing but talk. No sanctions, no condemnation of Russia's actions. He had a meeting with EU leaders and Zelenskyy where he reiterated what Putin wants to end the war. Impotent. Check.
Kudos to Equals for predicting Trump supporter posters would praise him for a deal that didn't happen.
I have great respect for women but this is completely true:
The reason you see so many ugly, fat, insufferable women standing up for illegal immigration is because every illegal immigrant that comes raises their chances to be 'picked'.
As @ScottAdamsSays once said - start viewing people's actions through the lens of a "mating strategy".

President Donald Trump made a surprise return to the popular video app TikTok with three montages posted to a new official @whitehouse account Tuesday night.
Is Trump's pursuit of salvation helped or hurt by the fact that he married an escort (for his third wife) through a human trafficker?
And do at least three strikes on the "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" thing really matter if he kept making upgrades or raw dogging porn stars?
There’s no way he slept with Stormy without a condom
He’s incredibly well known for his germ phobia so I’m almost certain he used a condom
Trump did NOT use a condom with Storm Daniels. Trump is NOT a germophobe. That's just a liberal lie.
It's another liberal lie that Trump's salvation is out of reach. They know Trump can still achieve The Kingdom. Achieving peace for Russia will go a long way towards that worthy goal.
Imagine pretending to believe that it's "woke" for the American museum of African-American history to talk about slavery a lot.
Just go ahead and put your hoods on, boys. And those boys include Donald Trump. In fact, first and foremost.
The national women’s history museum has an exhibit highlighting men in women’s sports. That is woke
Hey, you're preaching to the choir. I've already agreed that having a dictator is the answer to the existence of ANY silly political/social things in a country.
.....AND YET, Trump complained about too much slavery museum content, and NOT too much trans content. It's perplexing that anyone suspects that he and his movement is racist.
Continuing with the boldness, all of that will happen, Trump and his sycophants will continue to say that he’s great at negotiating “deals” (I hate even saying that word at this point), and a huge fraction of America will continue to believe it.

Good job (not hard, but good just the same!). I had forgotten about this. And then when I started to look, I couldn't immediately remember if it was about Friday or Monday? Sure enough, it's the "older" one! Absolutely amazing how much BS bravado and then failure Trump can squeeze into just a few days.
