Dear Reader:
Preface.
Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.
Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:

This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.

Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.
Fear not, Dear Reader. I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth. Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.

Republi-con Party imposes Big Brother extremism to destroy American Democracy
*
Republi-cons turn against American Democracy. Republi-cons destroy American Democracy in favour of enforcing Big Guh’mint Christian Nationalism. Republi-cons make Americans distrust our Rule of Law.
‘The rules don’t apply when it comes to the Republi-cons. ‘
– Kash Patel, loyalist to Crooked Drumpf

Representative Bob Good (R-Drumpf) is correct when he said:
– ‘Why would we compromise? We have a winning hand’.
Drumpfians and Deplorables are ‘perfectly’ ‘uneducated’ ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’. ‘Perfect’ for the Republi-con Party and their Christian Con-servative gang to dupe into their grift
They are fine with their Republi-con Party demanding extreme budget cuts to destroy Social Security, MediCare, MedicAid, Food Stamps, Veterans Benefits, school lunches, public transportation, Public Libraries, environmental protection, voting Rights, Trans and LGBT Rights, Civil Rights, Constitutional Rights. They approve of America falling into default and causing a global economic panic because this will happen under Biden’s term. Republi-cons are eagerly desperate to blame anything on Biden in order to besmirch him and the Democratic Party in future elections.
*
*
The Constitution specifies quite directly that all budgets originate at the House of Representatives. This Debt Ceiling stalemate is a budget matter in the hands of the Republi-con majority and must be reconciled by Speaker of the House McCarthy, that’s where the onus lies. Not on the Senate, not on Biden, not on the Democratic Party. So grow a spine, Democrats, and put the Constitution on the Republi-cons at the House of Representatives.
See the screen print for Comical Con-servative (attached). Notice the date of the Original Post – 2013 – when Republi-cons sought to blame Obama for their fabricated Debt Ceiling troubles, hit Obama with their Debt Ceiling demand that year. Obama blinked, Congressional Democrats blinked, and Republi-cons gave Obama his infamous ‘shellacking’ for the 2014 Election.
Rinse. Repeat.
Republi-cons gave additional Debt Ceiling threats to Obama and he repeatedly caved.
This 2023 Debt Ceiling is to pay for more than $7 trillion debt thanks to Drumpf, a part of all the total debt that he accrued during his four years – debt because of tax cuts for Drumpf billionaire buddies and other giveaways to Republi-con donors, what were at one time in the past called Bribery, a crime. America’s National Debt increased from about $20 trillion to about $30 trillion – Drumpf racked up nearly one-half of our National Debt during his four years thanks to Republi-cons.
Yeh – so much ‘fiscal Con-servativ-ism’ amongst the Republi-con Party.
– Sharon

Citing “changing business conditions,” Disney leadership today canceled plans to build an office complex near Orlando, Florida. The construction was estimated to cost about $1 billion, and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity projected it would bring to Florida more than 2,000 jobs with an average salary of $120,000. In his email to employees, Disney’s theme park and consumer products chair Josh D’Amaro made it clear that even more was on the line. He noted that Disney has planned more than $17 billion of construction in Florida, bringing about 13,000 jobs, over the next ten years but suggested that, too, was being reexamined. “I hope we’re able to,” he said.
Disney is locked in a battle with Florida governor Ron DeSantis that began when, under pressure from employees, then–Disney chief executive officer Bob Chapek spoke out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act. This law, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law because its vague language prohibiting instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation seems designed to silence any acknowledgement of LGBTQ Americans in grades K–3, was DeSantis’s pet project.
In retaliation, DeSantis led Florida Republicans to strip Disney of its ability to govern itself as if it were a county—as it has done since its inception in 1967—putting the board that controlled Disney under the control of a team hand-picked by DeSantis. But before the new board took over, the old board quietly and legally handed control of the parks over to Disney.
Apparently furious, DeSantis suggested he would build a competing state park or a prison next to Disney’s Florida theme park. In April, the new board set out to claw power from Disney, while the company announced it will hold its first gay-themed pride event in California and that it will build an affordable housing development in its Florida district, a move that Floridians will like. Meanwhile, with DeSantis’s blessing, the Florida state board of education approved expanding the ban on classroom mention of LGBTQ people to include grades 4–12.
On April 26, Disney sued the governor and those of his top advisors behind the attacks on Disney. The lawsuit noted that for more than 50 years, Disney “has made an immeasurable impact on Florida and its economy, establishing Central Florida as a top global tourist destination and attracting tens of millions of visitors to the State each year.” But, it said, “[a] targeted campaign of government retaliation—orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech— now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights.”
The lawsuit called out DeSantis’s actions as “patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional. But,” it said, “the Governor and his allies have made it clear they do not care and will not stop.” The company said it felt forced to sue for protection “from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials.”
The fight between DeSantis and Disney illustrates the dramatic ideological change in the Republican Party in the last two years. No longer committed to keeping the government weak to stay out of the way of business development, the party is now committed to creating a strong government that enforces Christian nationalism.
This is a major and crucially important political shift.
From the earliest days of the Reagan Revolution, those leaders who wanted to slash the federal government to end business regulation and cut the social safety net recognized that they did not have the votes to put their program in place. To find those votes, they courted racists and traditionalists who hated the federal government’s protection of civil rights. Over time, that base became more and more powerful until Trump openly embraced it in August 2017, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides.”
As he moved toward the techniques of authoritarians, his followers began to champion the system that Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán called “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy” in his own country. Orbán argued that the principle of equality in liberal democracy undermines countries by attacking the national culture. Instead, he called for an end to multiculturalism—including immigration—and any lifestyle that is not based on the “Christian family model.” He seized control of universities to make them preach his values.
Today’s Republican leaders openly admire Orbán and appear to see themselves as the vanguard of a “post-liberal order.” They believe that the central tenets of democracy—free speech, religious liberty, academic freedom, equality before the law, and the ability of corporations to make decisions based on markets rather than religious values—have destroyed national virtue. Such a loss must be combated by a strong government that enforces religious values.
Right-wing thinkers have observed with approval that DeSantis’s Florida is “our American Hungary.” Indeed, DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” law appears to have been modeled on Orbán’s attacks on LGBTQ rights, which he has called a danger to “Western civilization.” DeSantis’s attack on the New College of Florida, turning a bastion of liberal thought into a right-wing beachhead, imitated Orbán’s attack on Hungary’s universities; on Monday, DeSantis signed three more bills that undermine the academic freedom of all the state universities in Florida by restricting what subjects can be taught and by weakening faculty rights.
DeSantis’s attack on Disney is yet another attack on the tenets of liberal democracy. He is challenging the idea that Disney leaders can base business decisions on markets rather than religion and exercise free speech.
There is another aspect of the Republicans’ turn against democracy in the news today. If democracy is a threat to their version of the nation, it follows that any institution that supports democracy should be destroyed. Today, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, led by Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), continued its attack on the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ranking member Representative Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) pointed out that Jordan was violating committee rules by refusing to let Democrats on the committee see the transcripts he claims to have from a whistleblower. Other committee members noted that two of the witnesses have been paid by Trump loyalist Kash Patel.
Plaskett warned: “The rules don’t apply when it comes to the Republicans…. It’s all part and parcel of the Republicans’ attempt to make Americans distrust our rule of law so that when 2024 comes around and should their candidate not win, more and more people will not believe the truth. The truth matters.”
And so does power. Although House Republicans are trying to protect Representative George Santos (R-NY), who was just indicted on 13 counts, by sending his case to the Republican-dominated Ethics Committee rather than allowing a vote on whether to expel him, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment against President Biden.
Also today, the far-right House Freedom Caucus has called for an end to any discussions of raising the debt ceiling until the Senate passes its bill calling for extreme budget cuts. Forcing the nation into default will cause a global economic panic and, asked if they should compromise with the White House, Representative Bob Good (R-VA) said: “Why would we? We have a winning hand.”

I just submitted the following letter to “The Times” but was informed that I have met my quota for the month. Hopefully someone else can respond to this woman’s totally misleading MAGA LTE for me.
“Responding to Vicki Thompson’s LTE (filled with MAGA misinformation): You’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts! Google it!
Trump’s tax cuts primarily benefitted the wealthiest people/corporations and promised job increases never happened. These cuts and other Trump policies caused our national debt to balloon by an historical $7.8 trillion during his time in office. That’s the debt Republicans now threaten to refuse to pay which would be catastrophic to our economy. A debt already incurred is different from a budget and must be paid! No blackmail!
President Trump didn’t make us energy independent—it was because of the explosion of fracking. In fact, according to Forbes the gap between supply and demand shrank substantially under Obama when fracking first started. And, we have not lost any energy independence under Biden.
Title 42 was initiated because of the pandemic so went away when the pandemic was over. The “thousands of ‘illegals’ waiting to ‘stampede’ the border, ”came about because Title 42 forced refugees to wait in dangerous Mexican border areas to apply for asylum—their legal right—creating a dire situation! Human Rights Watch identified more than 13,000 incidents of kidnapping, torture, rape and other violent attacks on people expelled under Title 42.
Biden never “took down the wall” or “opened the borders”! The Biden administration even continued building some wall to fill in gaps and address environmental issues and they apprehended and expelled 4,071,455.00 people as of 1/20/23.
Schools aren’t “brainwashing” kids; LGBTQ folks aren’t “grooming” children; the undocumented aren’t “dangerous invaders raising crime levels”; etc. Right-wing media and MAGA candidates manufacture dangers to create fear and win your vote.
And, the TV stations you mentioned weren’t charged, convicted, and fined for knowingly posting misinformation—FOX news was!
Democracy and truth = freedom!”

Crooked Drumpf skimmed from the ‘9 / 11’ relief fund.
‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage
Lisette Voytko
Forbes Staff
Senior Entertainment Reporter
Sep 11, 2020, 08:53am EDT
Updated Sep 12, 2020, 12:00pm EDT
TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS
The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.
“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.
