Susie Willies is the Chief of Staff of the President.
She controls his agenda. She sometimes takes decisions on his behalf.
She is one of the very few people that Donald Trump actually trusts.
In 2010, she helped healthcare businessman Rick Scott become Governor of Florida.
She went to create a corporate lobbying firm named Ballard Partners. She recruited Pam Bondi as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners.
In 2018, she helped Ron De Santis become Governor Governor of Florida.
In 2024, Susie Willies was the top campaign manager of Donald Trump.
Part of the reason we have a fascist infestation right now is you people’s only response to the threat of our democracy collapsing is to fucking make harry potter memes
We’re having nationwide protests today called Rage Against the Regime, if that helps any. Some tiny amount anyways. They’re not talked about like the No Kings protests were tho. I’m assuming we’ll start protests every weekend at some point
What an absolutely odd response.
Humor is how people cope with the bullshit happening all around us. If anything, humor is what keeps people going. No part of that joke minimizes the threat to democracy in my mind. Quite the contrary, it makes the threat manageable without succumbing to misery and giving up. We can do two things at once.
Downvoted by dipshit lemmoids but holy shit it is truly the only reference they make. Read literally any other book you fucking losers
I’ve read plenty of books, and I’m not really a huge Potter fan but it happens that my kids were re watching the old movies.
Still, Umbridge stands in my mind as one a great example of somebody who assists evil by hamstringing good and chipping away at hope, all while stating “this is for your own good” mentality.
It’s one of the few TV characters that actually made me angry because she’s so believable
“Lemmoids”, shit dude, is there even any place you feel at home at this point?
There is no public forum not infested with the alt-right, so no, there is no digital home for sane people on the internet anymore
These people don’t realize by making fun of the awful things He’s doing it normalizes it.
A lot of people I’m convinced look at the administrations hijinks as entertainment. Gallows humor maybe but humor nonetheless. I am so sick of seeing Trump et al treating leadership as a joke.
Here’s an excerpt from one of the posts on it
Counter Vlad Surkov techniques and methods
Introduction to the Kremlin media techniques of year 2014
Peter Pomerantsev September 9, 2014: Russia and the Menace of Unreality. How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare
Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The “Contradictory Vaudeville” Of Post-Modern Politics - “What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin’s advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way.”
