First, Trump said, he was directing the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to “undertake all necessary and lawful action to break the back of the criminal cartels that have spread across our nation and are destroying the blood of our youth and other people, many other people.”

“Enforcing federal law with respect to the trans-national criminal organization in preventing international trafficking,” Trump read as he signed the order later.

The second order, he said, would direct the Department of Justice “to form a task force on reducing violent crime in America.” Later he described it as a “task force on crime reduction and public safety.”

Finally, Trump said, he would direct the Department of Justice “to implement a plan to stop crime and crimes of violence against law enforcement officers.”

“It's a shame what's been happening to our great, truly great, law enforcement officers. That's going to stop as of today,” he said, reading later while signing the order: “Preventing violence against federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement officials.”

1. Papers Please? Stop Frisk Search Question Arrest Detain.

[Mc Mike]

2. Sapping and impurifying our youths' precious bodily fluids.

Gen'l Flynn told him so.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. General Ripper

[Mc Mike]

42. Where are the birchers of yesteryear?

Usta be, they wanted nuclear combat, toe to toe with the russkies.

Now, they do real estate and oil extraction deals with them.

They do still have their blood thingy, and want to drop the bomb. But they lost their one main stated enemy, the commie, and they have to pile up a whole bunch of other littler 'enemies' to try and make up for it.

They lost their entire raison d'etre, and are still etre-ing anyhow. Almost like they were always just insane nazi murderers, and that 'anti-commie' thing was just a repuglinazi ruse.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. Yeah, they used to be against fluoridation, now they are for hydraulic fractionation.

Drinking water be damned.

And we haven't yet mentioned Flint's drinking water.

Back in Ripper's office with gunfire sounding in the background, General Ripper puts a comforting - and menacing - arm around a worried Mandrake's shoulder, revealing his completely paranoidal, psycho-sexual, psychotic lunacy. As Mandrake realizes he is speaking face-to-face with the real enemy and is literally being gripped by him, he nervously fingers and folds a piece of chewing gum in his fingers in front of him. According to the nutty, obsessed General who has found a scapegoat for his own sexual inadequacies in the Russkies, Commies are unaffected by the plot to pollute the water of the world because they drink vodka:

Ripper: Mandrake?
Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack.
Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.
Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water?
Mandrake: Good Lord!
Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?
Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?
Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.
Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?
Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no.
Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

[Mc Mike]

44. Great writing in that movie.

Love how the AF made Kubrick run a disclaimer in the beginning of the film that it was 'completely fictitious, and the military characters bore no resemblance to any actual person living, or dead'.

Agree about the fracking oil companies' 'proprietary recipe' of toxic chemicals polluting the water tables, and the repugs' deranged scheme that toxified Flint's water supply. And there's also the tar sands pipelines going right through watersheds, with 3 pipeline major pipeline failures per day and uncleanable mess ups in Kalamazoo and Mayflower AR, and the styrene trimer and bisphenol a from the plastic water bottles the oil companies sell that shed right into the bottled water itself.

The birchers were always just repugs who backed nazis and hated Jews, all along. They repackaged that pro nazi anti semitism behind their 'deep concern' about the dangerous formidable commie enemy. And they were really 'concerned' about human ecology, too.

[kwassa]

47. The Koch brothers' father was a founder of the John Birch Society.

and the apples do not fall far from the tree.

[Mc Mike]

56. The Dallas Hunt family were the prime movers and shakers in the squalid birch org, until

the Kochs took point. Current dRumpf birchers would include Pence, Flynn, Alex Jones.

[Dopers_Greed]

3. "Destroying the Blood of our youth"

Sounds like a white supremacist rallying cry

[EarthFirst]

5. Very much so...

Heavily steeped in the verbiage of white supremacy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Like the 8 year old US citizen killed in Yemen by Chicago gangs during the Seals raid. :eyes: nt

[kiranerys]

24. Reminds of the Nazi obsession with "blood defilement"

Which in that case, meant German Christians having sex with Jews and foreigners. At first this was discouraged, but eventually was made a capital crime.

[stopbush]

27. Yep. That's Hitler phrasing right there.

[canetoad]

31. Yep

Did he have a flock of soaring Valkyries?

[yardwork]

57. That ain't a dog whistle. That's chapter and verse.

[elmac]

4. Does that include the tRump cartel? nt

[RobinA]

6. Executive Order,

task force, plan, unfunded wall, no plan, later plan, plan not right now. Isn't this the same old same old this guy is supposed to be against? Not that I wish he's actually accomplish any of his heinous ideas, but I keep hearing how he's doing things, and he's only actually done one thing that lasted about a day before a court shut it down.

[EarthFirst]

7. Do economic crimes of hostility count as well?

I know a few economic hitmen that operate banking and finance cartels...

[Vinca]

8. Does this include the Trump crime family?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. Here comes the forfeiture of assets.

Trump questions lawmakers' efforts to curb asset seizures by police

[Blue Idaho]

10. Don't tell me - let me guess...

Black Lives Matter is a cartel but the KKK isn't.

[jpak]

11. If you are a commercial MJ grower in a MJ friendly state

You are fucked.

yup

[Loge23]

29. "Enforces federal law"

Yes, that statement is from the EO and is clear as a bell about its intentions. The golden age of legal herb is going up in smoke. Of course this will only increase crime.

[spiderpig]

12. He is so in love with his Executive Orders.

When he proudly announced this one, Mr. pig and I shouted in unison "Heil Twitler!!!"

[Girard442]

13. Since Trump is so horrified about police dying on the job...

...we can expect him to be similarly horrified about:

Loggers
Fishermen
Pilots
Extraction workers (other than machine operators)
Roofers
Garbage collectors
Mining machine operators
Truck drivers
Farmers
Electrical linemen
Construction workers
Taxi drivers
Maintenance workers
Groundskeepers

All who experience higher risks of death in their workplaces.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/28/charted-the-20-deadliest-jobs-in-america/?utm_term=.166c7f5083e4

Expect him to ramp up OSHA's enforcement efforts any day now.

[yellowcanine]

14. So when do we get the EO stopping sea level rise? If an EO can stop bad stuff, why not?

“It's a shame what's been happening to our great, truly great, law enforcement officers. That's going to stop as of today,”

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Violent crime is already low compared to previous decades. But GOP must sell fear. FEAR!

FEAR!

The GOP's (and tRump's) stock in trade is FEAR. Their RW authoritarian followers must be kept in a paranoid fearful state so that authoritarianism can be tightened and so that they will do the Republicon / Conservative bidding.

They must fear immigrants.
They must fear crime.
They must be terrified of terror.
They must fear change.
They must fear the government (so it can get a better grip on them, perversely).
They must fear public schools (for teaching facts like evolution, and critical thinking).
They must fear gun regulations because Hillary is still plotting to take their guns away.

FEAR!

[Phoenix61]

54. The news along with the GOP

Every awful, scary thing that has happened on the planet in the last 24 hours streamed into homes on a never ending loop. Add in the tv crime shows and the world looks like a very scary place. The reality is it hasn't changed that much, in that context, because human nature hasn't changed. We are just much, much more aware of what happens.

[BlueCaliDem]

16. He sure loves those E.O.s. doesn't he? Where's the Republican outrage about his excessive E.O.

signing? They wouldn't shut up when President Obama was doing it.

Democrats need to put up a HUGE stink about this, and do it over and over and over again...

*45 still thinks he's a dictator, not a president. He has ZERO clue what the powers of the President are. Ugh.

[randome]

39. He dare not discuss policy openly because it showcases how incredibly dull-witted he is.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Donald Trump's scorecard:
Muslim ban = failed. Yemen raid = failed. Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed. Economic utopia = failed. Grade point average = 0.[/center][/font][hr]

[BlueCaliDem]

41. I think you're right. He knows he's a dimbulb but he doesn't want that verified by his lack of

understanding complex policy.

Better to remain silent and be thought of a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

[adigal]

18. This is an excuse to bring the military into cities and slaughter immigrants and POC

If I'm wrong, please tell me how. Because between last night's deporting of a woman who has been here for 22 years, and this, I am more terrified for my fellow Americans than I have ever been in my life.

[Stonepounder]

19. When did we become a nation of scaredy-cats?

When I was a kid growing up in the 50's, we had duck-and-cover in case of nuclear attack, but we weren't scared of everyone and everything. Kids would go out and play, wander over to the next block without telling our parents, or ride our bikes all over the place. I was about 12 when I started riding the city buses by myself and we never worried about it.

Now, a mother in NYC gets arrested for letting her minor son ride the subway alone. My grandkids are 'scared' of terrorists, not allowed to get a driver's license (because their parents are afraid for them to be without supervision).

When I was a kid (and as an adult) there were certainly places you just don't go after dark. But I have never felt afraid walking city streets. When I was a kid, I could take the city bus into the center of Columbus, OH, change buses and ride a second bus to my destination.

Now kids wouldn't dream of riding a city bus alone, even though crime on buses is almost nonexistent.

And Trump is playing into those fears that everyone is out to get us. We aren't sure just who everyone is, but we are pretty sure it is anyone who us not like us. And that includes anyone who doesn't live in our neighborhood, doesn't go to our church, looks different from us, dresses different from us, or even belongs to a lower socio-economic group than us. They are all out to rape, kill, and pillage us and we need to take our country back.

I want my country back. The one where we weren't scared all the time of anyone who wasn't one of us. I know that I had a somewhat unusual childhood having a couple of very liberal parents and spending my early childhood in married student housing as my father had gone back to grad school. It was a very racially and ethnically mixed neighborhood and since my parents never seemed to notice skin color or religion when picking friends, neither did I. My father tells a story. I must have been around 5 or 6 and my best friend was a boy named Lucian. My birthday was coming and I checked with my mom that the invitation to Lucian had been sent. Another of my friends overheard and remarked, "You're inviting that black kid". My response was , "He's not black". I had literally never even noticed. I had to go over to Lucian's, knock on the door, and when his father answered, I stood there aghast and said, "You are black!". Lucian's dad just laughed and said, 'Yeah' with a big old grin on his face. Give me back that country!

[Blue_Adept]

22. This group was always scared but 9/11 broke them

The fearmongering went on overdrive and the bubble they protected themselves with was broken, and all they could see are dangers everywhere.

[Achilleaze]

25. + 1

true that. fear underlies almost everything in rightyland. they live and breath it, and then allow themselves to be overshadowed wtih tuffstuff to pump fear out into the wider world

[Lanius]

30. Yes, 9/11 and their looming "minority" status have broken the right-wingers

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. It began with Nixon's "Silent Majority" and Reagan blew it up. GOP sells emotions.

FEAR is a big button that they love to push. It is a favorite tool of tyrants and fascists.

[llmart]

46. Great post!

Wonder if you're about the same age as I am because we just didn't "do fear" in my household. Consequently, all of my siblings and I grew up taking most things in stride and not afraid to try new things or go new places. You talk about riding public buses? Hell, kids nowadays aren't even allowed to ride on the school bus! Their parents drive them to school. Or if they do ride the school bus, I've seen cars lined up on the corner of the subdivision next to where I live so that little Johnny or Susie doesn't have to stand out in the cold. This is junior high I'm talking about. Geez. I didn't raise my kids with those sorts of fears either and they have grown up to be pretty well-balanced adults who can think for themselves.

Sometimes we don't like to admit that life is mostly random and that we have very little control over most of it. We just like to labor under the delusion that we do. We'd be much better off if we stopped fooling ourselves.

[Madam45for2923]

20. I bet he welcomes the Russian Mafia Cartel to take over!

[Trust Buster]

26. The idiot thinks people forget how he wrote letters to judges for lenient sentences for his drug

cartel friends. This is just more red meat thrown out to his carnivore base.

[Coventina]

28. Are they contaminating our precious bodily fluids?

Craziness continues.....

[lark]

32. Fuck, he is so following Hitlers path.

Building the police force into a semi-military operation and making it sacrosanct is just asking for so much trouble. They will kill people with impunity if this passes, a bad situation could easily become a total crisis! Next we will hear that he's beefing up his security force that he's using in some instances instead of the Secret Service and we will already be going down the path to total fascism, dictatorship and drumpfland.

[Nay]

33. "destroying the blood of our youth" is hideously reminiscent of "blood libel" -- the

claim of the Nazis that the Jews killed Christian children to use their blood in their rituals and ritual food.

I can't believe I'm hearing this shit. I can't believe it.

[Sgent]

34. Eh

blood libel has been around a LOT longer than the Nazi's.

This sounds more like blood defilement to me -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rassenschande (interbreeding).

[Nay]

36. True, and I agree they may have been talking about interbreeding, but all sorts of

Nazi (and earlier) shit is stirred up with nearly every utterance of these raving nutcases. It's as if every ugly id has been let out to run amok.

[tclambert]

35. Do those criminal cartels include the oil companies and the pharmaceutical companies?

[LudwigPastorius]

37. "destroying the blood of our youth"

[not fooled]

38. Bet he and Scrofulous Steve love to watch Triumph des Willens

After all, he kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his bedside

40. The full text of the EO: "Cartels are bad, very bad people!"

[Blue_Tires]

45. aka the "Open Season on Minorities" Decree

[alarimer]

48. But no action on the water in Flint.

Which is having an effect on the blood and more of children there and would seem to be a more urgent problem.

[treestar]

49. The first one is pointless

If it's already federal law. He's just saying enforce the law?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

50. They are diluting the precious bodily fluids of Americans.

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. Whole lotta words, here, this is easier

"the I hate brown people" orders

[appleannie1943]

52. He is the one that is attacking the tribal officials. He ordered the attack on them.

[HassleCat]

53. "This shit stops RIGHT NOW!!!"

"By my magic pen, I so decree!"

On edit: I guess he is unaware there are interagency drug task forces, organized crime task forces, etc. all over the country. We spend boatloads of money organizing these things, sending cops to the FBI academy, buying them special equipment, etc.

[Turbineguy]

55. OK. We are now approaching

the "Purity of Essence" stage.

[MountCleaners]

58. Law enforcement deaths have been going down since...

....oh, the nineteen-teens:

More crime hysteria from the Tangerine Tyrant.
