What an embarrassment to the human race. He's crass even by the standards of shopping channels.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship system​

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1-5450364/the-trump-administration-is-building-a-national-citizenship-system

“The Trump administration has built a searchable national citizenship data system. The tool is designed to be used by state and local election officials to ensure only citizens are voting. But it was developed rapidly without a public process, and some of those officials are already worrying about what else it could be used for.”

Voter roles

Sounds like families of the victims are not thrilled.

“…At a moment when the Trump administration is scrubbing prominent Black historic figures from U.S. government websites and condemning Smithsonian exhibits on race as “divisive ideology,” the Edenton statue drama — community activism, followed by a resurgence of the old order — seems to embody the nation’s pivot from the reckonings of 2020 that were prompted by the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.

… On a recent sunny Saturday, Ron Toppin, 80, and two helpers set up a canopy over tables neatly lined with trays of Confederate information sheets and hit the sidewalk two hours before their opponents arrived.

…
Trump’s election “made the country a whole lot better,” said Toppin, whose late wife used to organize the informational materials for the group and who said his great-great-grandfather was a rebel soldier captured by the Union in 1863. “We’ve got America back.”

Mike Dean, commander of the Edenton Bell Battery of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, roared up on his Harley — dubbed “Traveller” after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s horse — and took command of the outpost. When a few protesters began marching up the sidewalk, Dean gestured to a woman walking by with a sign that read “Remove this statue.”

“Understand,” Dean said, “these are Marxists. Marxists want to destroy history.”…”

My dick shrank half an inch just reading that. The Small Dick Energy is off the charts.

Come on man, they want to go backward on most everything. Human rights, women's rights, medical rights, vaccines, education, religious indoctrination in public schools, etc.

It's just who they are.

Ass backwards

Because nothing says you're a Marxist like favoring taking down a statue honoring soldiers who fought to break up the nation and preserve slavery and killed hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers defending the Constitution and the Union. And I'm sure that taking down that statue will automatically cause everyone in Edenton to forget all about the Civil War and American history. It's been said several times before, but for people who love to call others snowflakes who need participation trophies, they certainly seem intent on keeping up the biggest participation trophies of all.

This is the saddest goddamned shit I have ever seen in my life. Honestly, this country needs to fail. We all need to lick the shit off of the boots of the rest of humanity for a decade or so as punishment for breeding so many fucking morons.
