GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

I agree entirely. By not calling him out on it, they effectively became active participants.

I would laugh at him. I would rhapsodize on the extent of his idiocy, his infantile behavior, his desperate need for attention, his abominable taste, his ridiculous hair and makeup, his inability to grasp the 18th century prose in which the Constitution in written, his hilarious jealousy of Obama………

As I watch the teeming streets of San Antonio it occurs to me that the definition of white privilege is taking 54 years to realize it is no coincidence that the most sacred spot in all of Texas — the Holy of Holies — is a monument to the glory of slavery.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

I always assumed that the fascists, when they came, would have chiseled jaws and high cheekbones like the Krays or John Dillinger. Not the grotesque bloated faces of cheesy, over-the-top Batman villains headlining at the Grand Guignol. 1/2

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

The hypocrisy never ends. Stupid people are easier to mass produce. That’s why there are so many of them, and why the GOP wants all our females to be Comfort Women.

Yeah, it’s working. I’m terrified. The occupation of DC, nationalization of the railways. Congress paralyzed, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security cooperating in treason, court-issued immunity…

Friends, I am a historian but not a tactician. Am I alone in my concern that the occupation of DC and takeover of Union Square Station are portents of something more drastic yet to come? Praying I’m wrong in Texas.

This is golden! There best part is that the MAGAs probably (as is typical) fail to recognize that this satire and are consequently going out of their tiny minds. 😅

That’s even more insulting than putting a pro wrestling promoter in charge of education. What’s next? A KKK Grand Wizard as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs? On second thought, that’s probably already happened.

I am not one for conspiracy theories. That being said, the moment my brother texted me “Someone took a shot a Trump. He just won the election.” I replied with “How stupid does he think we are?” Even if one suspends disbelief, nothing adds up. Nothing, that is, except for a sloppily arranged hoax.

The cycles of nations throughout history point to the same conclusion — the rise of despotism is always proceeded by the accumulation of high-level lackeys loyal to the strongman over the welfare of the state. If government by the people is to be saved this process MUST BE STOPPED.
