Note Omar: Would she be so targeted if she voted with Trump? It’s well-known Fetterman’s wife was an unauthorized immigrant. We have no reason not to believe he has been told he should back certain “policies” or her naturalization could be “reviewed.” (And him resigning would not protect her.)

I don’t need this felon lecturing me. As Italian-American (which he is not), I’d ditch Columbus Day for “Sinatra Day.” And not because according to Nancy her dad hated Trump’s guts. Frank entertained people and still does, stood for racial equality, and was an American… …and is buried in the U.S.

Trump’s problem has always been Americans are mostly NOT on Putin’s side and Trump’s regime has tried to “work” within that fact. His “warmth” for Putin is like Musso’s for Adolf, which left most Italians baffled. Americans know it’s asinine to blame Ukraine for being invaded… unless you back Putin.

No mention by the crime boss of Fetterman’s naturalized wife. Given the regime’s lawlessness, we must allow for the possibility Trump flunkies told Fetterman if he does not back certain “policies” they may reopen her application to seek a pretext to revoke her citizenship. That’s where we are now.

The “Wild West” attitude is especially appalling. Bullets can ricochet, and bystanders - including U.S. citizens too, if we still matter - may be killed over a stranger's supposed "visa violation." The casual blasting away like it's a Taylor Sheridan TV soap needs to be top of the list to stop.

There was a murder here in Dartmouth on Tuesday. Police say it was an “isolated" event. A British local man was arrested. (I know exactly where the officer in this BBC pic below is standing.) Murder in the UK is VERY rare. It is so rare that when one happens it makes the *national* news:

Trump’s intended audience for this is never foreigners; the meatball does not give a damn what foreigners think. Nor is it for opposition Americans. This is “red meat” for neo-Confederate cultists who rarely leave their rural county in “Tennessee” and believe everything he says and he knows that.

I still have VOA (Voice of America) saved on my internet “radio.” Americans at home may not realize what was illegally destroyed by Trump’s regime: VOA was founded in 1942 to fight fascist propaganda and ACCURATELY report what we are to millions who may never visit the US. Now, they hear silence.

As I understood it, felon Trump was looking to strip the mail-in vote from civilians living abroad, but not from active duty military based abroad. The former tending historically to lean more Democratic, while the latter have leaned Republican, of course probably had nothing to do with it.
