Preeminent Midget of Resistance Proclaims Trump Dystopian Nightmare.

Former Clinton Administration Labor Secretary, Robert B. Reich
"It’s even worse than I’d imagined. He’s been “flooding the zone” with so many outrageous (and often illegal) initiatives that many people are overwhelmed, demoralized, and just plain freaked out. 
That’s the intent. 
This morning, a woman I didn’t know was about to pass me on the sidewalk and then stopped, turned toward me, and almost shouted, “It’s a fucking nightmare!” Well, it is a “fucking nightmare” and unfortunately there’s nothing anyone can do right now to legally stop it (unless you’re a federal judge). 
For now, we can and should do everything possible to protect people who are most vulnerable to the nightmare. The Trump regime will harm many innocent people. It already has.  Its lawless cruelty is sickening — as is the cowardice of so many CEOs, Wall Street bankers, leading lawyers, university presidents, publishers, social media titans, Republican politicians, some Democratic politicians, and other so-called “leaders” who are staying mum or obeying in advance or sucking up to Trump. 
There will be a reckoning. 
As bad as this “fucking nightmare” gets, it will awaken Americans to the truth about what has happened to this country — and what we must do to get it back on the track toward social justice, democracy, and widespread prosperity. 
That’s what I believe. 
That’s my faith as we slide into deepening darkness. - Robert Reich

Dear Professor Bob,

Congratulations on your masterclass in paranoia. You consistently craft a narrative where every action is a conspiracy, every policy a tyranny. How does it feel to live in such a dystopian fantasy? You advocate for 'resistance' but seem oblivious to the fact that your crusade is built on fear, not facts. So we should just blindly accept the rampant waste and abuse that has been inflicted upon the taxpayers? 

You're not fighting for justice; you're fueling division, spreading misinformation, and cloaking your ignorance in the guise of activism. At what point do you question if your 'resistance' is actually just resistance to reality? When will you realize that your moral high ground is nothing but quicksand pulling you and everyone you influence into a pit of despair and cynicism?

But go on, keep tilting at windmills, fighting shadows. Just remember, history isn't kind to those who mistake their own echo chamber for the voice of reason. - DS

How High Of A Heel Would You Like On Your Jackboots, Professor Reich??

The last time we visited one of our favorite kickball of the past, the former Clinton toadie Robert Reich, he was on the CNN spouting crazy, claiming the anti-Trump protest were actually a right-wing plot to delegitimize liberals. Needless to say, we had a real field day with that one. So much so, one loyal DMF reader humorously accused me of abusing short people.  But undeterred, today we again visited Dr. Reich's Booster Seat and what struck us as one remarkable tweet that has gone unnoticed.

Like a miniature villain from a dystopian future science fiction movie, Reich is proposing that when DJT is removed from office we create a form of a Ministry of Truth, totalitarian “commissions” & “committees” to identify, expose and punish DJT supporters and anyone that dares to oppose leftist ideals. He isn’t even attempting to disguise it.

And here people have been hunting all over the internet for the Fascist's and there was one right here out in the open posting on twitter.
Erase history?  This sounds disturbingly familiar. A guy with the last name Reich wants to make sure you’re punished for thoughts he disagrees with.  The simulation is running out of ideas.

This is absolutely chilling and disgusting coming from a former high ranking government official.  Does the Good Professor really think that in this day and age of frothing at the mouth Marxist and people unwilling to object to their supporters setting buildings on fire with police inside would actually be satisfied with a just a South African type "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" for their political opponents?? 

In a liberal society, we can't afford to have an organization in charge of deciding what is true. If someone did set it up, it would promptly be taken over by political interests & used to force their way in society. The fact that Reich doesn't see just how evil and undemocratic this idea troubles me even more than the fact that he so freely voiced such an outrageous idea.

Will there be struggle session where people can confess their sins against the left, or everyone goes to the gulags? Will we receive barcode tattoo?

Yes! And once we've regained power and imprisoned our political enemies THEN we can do reconciliation: a program for those we've imprisoned that gives gestures of compassion in exchange for legally-binding declarations of loyalty.

We'll call the program the "Ministry of Love."

The Midget Unveils His First 100 Days of Trump Resistance Agenda

ROBERT REICH SEEN HERE DISCUSSING ECONOMICS WITH A RECENT.......DATE

The little midget is at it again. He intends to turn his mighty powers against Donald Trump's first 100 day's with a call to all to adopt his Trump resistance agenda. According to Reich, Trump’s First 100 Day plan includes repealing environmental regulations, Obamacare, and the Dodd-Frank Act, giving the evil rich a huge tax cut, and much worse....... 

Here’s the details of his 'Resistance Agenda': 
1. Get Democrats in the Congress and across the country to pledge to oppose Trump’s agenda. Prolong the process of approving choices, draw out hearings, stand up as sanctuary cities and states. Take a stand. Call your senator and your representative (phone calls are always better than writing).  
2. March and demonstrate—in a coordinated, well-managed way. The “1 Million Women March” is already scheduled for the Inauguration —and will be executed with real skill.   There will be “sister” marches around the country—in LA and elsewhere. They need to be coordinated and orchestrated. And then? 1 Million Muslims? 1 Million Latinos? What would keep the momentum alive and keep the message going?
3. Boycott all Trump products, real estate, hotels, resorts, everything. And then boycott all stores (like Nordstrom) that carry merchandise from Trump family brands.  
4. Letters to Editors: A national letter-writing campaign, from people all over the country, every walk of life and every level of society, from celebrities to sports heroes to grassroots Americans. In most papers, the Letters to the Editor section is the most-read part of the paper.
5. Op-Eds: A steady flow of arguments about the fallacies and dangers of Trump’s First 100 Day policies and initiatives, from name-brand thinkers and doers to ordinary folk writing for their city’s or community’s newspaper.
6. Social media: What about a new YouTube channel devoted to video testimonials about resisting Trump’s First 100 Day Agenda? Crowd-sourced ideas, themes and memes. Who wants to start it?
7. Website containing up-to-date daily bulletins on what actions people are planning around the country, and where, so others can join in. Techies, get organized.
8. Investigative journalism: We need investigative journalists to dig into the backgrounds of all of Trump’s appointees, in the White House, the Cabinet, Ambassadors and judges.
9. Lawsuits: Our version of “Drill, baby, drill” is “Sue, baby, sue.” Throw sand in the gears. Lawyers, get organized.
10. Coordinated fund-raising: Rather than having every public-interest group appeal on their own, have a coordinated fundraising program to fill the coffers of the most endangered and effective opposition groups. Is there a way to do a televised fundraiser with celebrities raising money for the Resistance?
11. Symbolic opposition: Safety pins are already appearing. What else? What more? Make the resistance visible with bumper stickers, a label pin, a branding campaign that has great language, great logo, great wrist band (remember the Lance Armstrong “Livestrong” yellow wrist band—it sold millions!).
12. Intellectual opposition: Take Trump on where he’s weakest—with serious ideas. I’ll try to do my part. You do yours, too.
13. Serious accountability: Establish performance metrics to evaluate his delivery on his campaign promises. An updated web site of promises made and not kept. This is one especially suited to public policy students.
The First 100 Days Resistance Agenda. We’re not going away.
Yeah, we know your not going away anytime soon. Neither did that persistent cough I had last time I had a cold, until I gave it a good dose of medicine.....
