Small Man, Big Mouth

I gotta say... I've been trying to avoid all Trump-related media, but there is simply no such thing anymore. Everything is all-Trump all the time. Exactly as it has been for the past 18 months.

But, I have a concern.

I wonder if Trump et al have given any thought to what their constant lying will do to their ability to lead should something catastrophic happen? The media has finally caught on to the fact that Trump & Co. lies constantly, about everything, big or small; and now everything they say is reported with an eye-roll and a sigh. And that's great. But what happens if something major happens - a terrorist attack, hurricane, giant meteor, alien invasion, etc. - where the public needs to know exactly what the government is doing? If we can't trust them to tell the truth about trivialities, we can't trust them to tell the truth about important things, either. But do they care? I suppose they probably haven't thought it through. They should.

Face the alternative facts.
That is all!

These anti-Americans are.

The Christianists and the Galt Gulchers, one and the same, all Republican/Trump supporters, are running for the (plush) hills.

I see 1984 is the top selling book on Amazon. Can’t think why.

Regarding that last link, this is what I would say to Dreher if I thought they wouldn’t censure my First Amendment rights. The pious Dreher, by the way, writes for a site founded by the racist, anti-Semite Patrick Buchanan, whose thuggery with the fists in his personal life is legendary and confirmed by numerous sources since before the Nixon days.

The “Spencer” referred to is the racist, anti-Semite Richard Spencer, who Dreher just days ago defended when the former was sucker-punched at the Inaugural protests, probably by an idiot who learned the tactic from watching Trump rallies.

cleek, I couldn’t help myself today. I shall only rarely be bothering you here as events eventualize the coming storm.

Take care.

Dear Mr Dreher:

Your reader writes:

‘”You don’t have to LIKE it. But you have to accept it and learn to live with it — including the inevitable violence and strife that will flow from it.”

So universalism on white nationalist terms, or else, is that it, Dreher?

Someone didn’t hit hard Spencer hard enough in the head.

Weapons merchants will sell we liberals guns, too.’

Thanks for the warning.
