Wars make sense to those seeking to vanquish others for their own gain. Wars are forced on those who must defend themselves against conquest, thus the sense they make is dictated, not chosen, as from a menu of options.
The Truscott Chronicles
What kind of leadership example could possibly be set by the appointment of two sleazebag sex offenders to critical cabinet postings?
Trump has already made perfectly clear that each one of his cabinet appointees will be expected to be loyal not to the Constitution and the country, but to Donald Trump.
Right now tens of thousands of men and women in service are steeling themselves for what is coming their way. They have steeled themselves before when incompetence and political hackdom came through their doors.
Ideas cannot be destroyed, nor can the ideals we have fought to preserve, protect, and extend so that they can outlive us in our children and our children’s children.
We must not fall into the trap of feeling that we are special because we strove with our votes for goodness and have been crushed by our losses at the polls.
For nearly 250 years we have been making mistakes as a nation and then going back and getting it right, or nearly so. Today is our opportunity to make another major and lasting correction.
Even given the problems we have with poverty and want, the United States is not the “failing country” that Donald Trump says we are.
The idea of “battleground states” has become a reality, where armed police officers may be necessary to secure the Constitutional right to vote.
I believe in stuff like the right of women to control their own bodies, and I believe in equal rights under the law for everyone, and I believe that six of our nine Supreme Court justices are fascist fellow travelers.
Ever notice that what passes for humor to the far right is just abuse and degradation at the expense of anyone who isn't them?
When you are bullied, you STAND UP or you lose your self-respect and your dignity and your right to life. The fascism of Donald Trump would take away all three.
Most, if not all, of Trump’s threats are hollow, and while they cannot be ignored, they do not present serious cause for worry. The way to ensure that none of this madness ever comes to pass is to get out and vote for Kamala Harris.
Trump’s rhetoric about deporting undocumented immigrants may be red meat for the MAGA masses, but it’s as untethered from reality as his talk about Hannibal Lecter.
Trump is closing his argument by reminding his base how much they are like him—that “we” all feel the same way he does about immigrants, Blacks, women, the disabled and everyone who is not white Christian followers of Donald Trump.
No one in the Harris campaign is sitting on their hands, least of all the candidate. That cannot be said of Donald Trump, as he cancels one interview after another. Stay tuned. The rest of this campaign is going to be as volatile as a meth lab.
