Told ya..
Drumpf loves his fascists..
A while back I wrote about How Trump loves his fascists, dictators & tyrannical cohorts across the globe.. How they have fed each other even over the last 8 years. These symbiotic relationships have escalated human rights violations, free speech violations, as well as many other freedoms being undone across the globe.
It's been a feedback loop between Trump and many horrible human beings on this planet that have unfortunately attained seats of power over human beings….And of course we cannot forget Trump's love letters.
You can read through that here, citations included.
His inauguration looks like it's aiming more for a rapacious, gluttonous, dictatorial debutante ball with a who's who of fascists from around the globe invited … worse even than the anticipated coronation we figured initially..… and if we were in a comic book, this would seem like a villain convention.
(And yeah… I’ll say it.. I don't mind being the right kind of villain here..) And in my mind a perfect opportunity for something bad to happen.. Like the Adjusters show up..
As of Jan 11, these are the reported invites sent :
Jinping has been invited but likely not to attend
Of course Victor Orbun is on the guest list.
The self-described “world’s coolest dictator,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele
Peso evaporating and chainsaw-wielding archconservative Argentinian President Javier Milei
Benjamin Netanyahu is rumored as RSVP’d yes
Far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
Far-right French politician Eric Zemmour
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Who led his own January 6th when he lost his election. Then was kindly given sanctuary—I mean aided and abetted—by the State of Florida somewhere around Mar-a-Lago.
Apparently Emmanuel Macron is on the naughty list because he's not been extended an invite.
Obviously Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not been given an invite.
But the most salacious non-invite—at least to me— according to a representative for the Kremlin.. Putin has not received an invite.. quite curious, that.

Presidential historians have remarked that this is unprecedented to have heads of state at a presidential inauguration like this. That it looks like it's intended to get them jostling to curry favor with the new Reich leader.. it'd be really awful if Der Grabscher Führer’s (The Groping Leader) guest list turned him down. I’d rejoice in seeing him cry at his own inauguration.
One last joy before the world goes to hell. (Considering the Chancellor stage we reached)
Alas, I have no answers today. I’m making plans upon plans, but they keep falling apart.

Ironically, he has also invited Jens Stoltenberg, who has accepted. Stoltenberg was PM of Norway for 8 years for the Labour Party and NATOs general secretary until recently. I think Jens hopes he can talk some sense into Trump. Good luck with that.
