#Ceausescu
kinda wild how we're leaping straight to late Ceausescu
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

This is what happened to Ceaușescu

Those who rule like Ceausescu deserve to die like Ceausescu.

Let it be his Ceaușescu moment
Orban gets rushed out of Budapest in a motorcade as his attempt to outlaw protests is totally ignored.

Putin's puppet is likely finished. Just a matter of time now.

American Ceaușescu
All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump. https://to.pbs.org/44batiO
A Belgian diamond group is gifting Trump a lavish ring after that industry won tariff relief
It’s a glitzy window into the role that ostentatious – and almost always gilded — gifts are playing by those seeking to curry favor with the U.S. president.

Speed running Ceaușescu
everything the Trump admin does basically:

(1) makes it harder for them to turn America into a long-term illiberal regime

but also (2) destroys institutions to a pre-Obama (or worse) pre-FDR level

It's happening.

The "Ceaușescu moment" has arrived for Assad.
BREAKING: An uprising is now taking place in Arbin of Damascus, where residents are tearing down pictures of Assad.

Orbán’s Ceaușescu moment. Booed at his own rally, ranting and pointing fingers. His final message: Ukraine hatred.

She is our Elena Ceaușescu.

god they should have ceausescu-ed him
also apparently pelosi screamed at milley to arrest trump on j6 and I think if he had then he’s successfully impeached and we don’t get trump vs united states

If we could get the Ceaușescu ending... 🙏
I'll repeat what I was the other day: The elderly, dementia addled president ranting about "criminally made algae" is real last days of Ceausescu type shit
Trump just claimed without evidence that the algae on the Reflecting Pool was "criminally made."

“ceausescu”. it’s an ancient word but a beautiful word.
January 3, 2026 at 6:44 AM
what is the Nicolae Ceaușescu-ass personality cult
Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "I'm working every day on using AI to figure out how to cure cancer or launch fusion energy or understand dark matter. Our Defense Department is trying to figure out how to keep America safe. God bless the First Lady. She of course is wiser than all of us."

its like they want to Ceaușescu it
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Hooverite-Peronist-Stuartism with Ceaușescu Characteristics
June 9, 2025 at 7:10 PM
Thank you for your comments, Madam Ceaușescu.
Katie Miller is now jumping in to blame CBP and defend her husband.

(All of this shows how vulnerable Stephen Miller is, so we need to keep the pressure on to get him out of the administration.)

I don't call Trump "Cheddar Ceaușescu" for nothing 😉

There's a fine line between running Romania for 34 years with an iron fist and state TV broadcasting a crowd of "supporters" no longer afraid of booing your speech, and crossing it ends in your show trial and execution 4 days later.

Forget Rhodesia, we’re speed running Ceaușescu era Romania, baybeeee.
NEW: Yesterday, the Department of Transportation issued a memo that says DOT and DOT-supported programs should "give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average." www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

This

The Ceauşescu effect begins when everyone starts laughing at them.
Hey, remember how the Harris campaign briefly surged when they let Tim Walz accurately call the fascists weirdos, for a little while?

I think strategic name-calling absolutely can get votes for progressives.

Let’s keep calling these oily techbro Nazis what they are.
February 25, 2025 at 2:21 PM
I don't know why I keep thinking of Nicolae Ceaușescu.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Ceausescu speedrun
Per Danny Kemp via press pool

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

dawg do they not realize this is how *they* end up as American Ceausescu
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "When we're talking about the SNAP program, one of the other programs we're definitely concerned about is Unemployment Insurance. That will be the next thing that we have to be concerned about."
November 4, 2025 at 4:54 PM
I don't know why I sometimes think of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Just idly daydreaming, I guess.
I'm sure the 22 million people whose healthcare premiums will triple in six days are delighted by this news, you inhuman fuck.
December 27, 2025 at 3:10 AM
If he's not careful they'll do a 'Ceausescu' on him
