Whenever I hear the word “Hoax” while Trump is speaking…I immediately think of the biggest hoax of my lifetime: the “assassination attempt” in Butler, PA.

I’d think Venezuela would not be too happy. And of course the feckless, corporatized press will not dig into this, despite the fact that Trump and his goons lie about everything, drenched in treachery and grifting. We don’t even know whether the red stuff at the Butler shooting was real blood.

Trump sends seven warships to Venezuela to illegally blow up an alleged drug boat, killing eleven people. What happens now? How is trump to be dealt with legally on this mass murder? Is it another case in which trump as president can get away with almost anything — as decreed by the Supreme Court.

I appreciate the effort to give Boomers a break. Not all are hopelessly brainwashed. Now. We must gather strength. No more scapegoating, in either direction. It's only a sign of terrible dysfunction. We must stand together--for a healthy, functional, democratic nation. That is better than before.

This is overreach by the Feds. States have rights. People voted for a mayor who often has the power to appoint the police chief. Cities don’t need guard units to combat crime. That’s what the police are for This is pure theatre and intimidation by the Executive branch. States need to drive them out

The corporatized media, almost wholly owned by Trumpster oligarchs, have coddled, protected him for years, despite his false-flag type of phony criticism of them.

I’ll take it further: Trump and his unholy goons have weaponized Jesus, like they do everything else, in the name of a genocidal madman. If we don’t ramp up the rhetoric, counterpunch as a chorus, then it validates the lies, grifting, hypocrisy, and treachery that have overwhelmed us.

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

Unfortunately this is how most of the nation sees it. It really would have helped if she didn't do the two things I predicted she would do as soon as she ran, which was to say: "The American people have spoken" and "We need a peaceful transfer of power" A peaceful transfer of power.. Into fascism.
