The Underlying Theme 0

At the Las Vegas Sun, Richard French postulates that

Lack of shame is a primary feature of Donald Trump’s presidency.

I think he has a point. Why else are they so comfortable doing things that would make the Founders hand their heads in shame?

The Rule of Lawless, Republican Thought Police Dept. 0

Via The Charlotte Observer, Robin Abcarian notices a pattern. Here’s a tiny bit from her article.

Orwellian efforts to memory hole Jan. 6 include the Department of Justice deleting the public database that tracked criminal cases resulting from the day’s violence. References to the day as a “riot” or “insurrection” have disappeared from government websites, replaced with descriptions of “peaceful protests.” The FBI deleted its “wanted” posters for unsolved Jan. 6 cases. And of course, there are the blanket pardons of more than 1,500 rioters, many of whom viciously assaulted police officers.

I think you can draw a line between Wednesday’s killing in Minneapolis and the Jan. 6 riot: People who do Trump’s bidding know they have nothing to fear from the justice system, and may even be rewarded for their behavior.

In a longer article in which he details Republican efforts to squelch disssenting voices and curtain freedom of speech, Brit “Red” Schulte reminds us that

Guidelines issued by the White House in September detail how the Trump administration will target and pursue anyone it deems to be motivated by “anti-Americanism, anti-Capitalism, and anti-Christianity” as domestic terrorists. Trump has also designated “antifa” as a domestic terrorist organization. Those of us who are anti-fascist know that “antifa” simply refers to a collective sense of being anti-fascist and believing that fascism is ultimately a real and present threat to all life. It is not a unified entity or organization. Antifa is a rallying cry, a politic, a historical reference that connects one to a legacy of fighting Nazism in Germany, and fighting other fascists in Italy, Spain, and elsewhere in the 1930s.

Afterthought:

I didn’t realize it until now, but I my father must have been antifa. After all, he fought Nazi Germany in WWII.

I wonder if Trump would jail him now, were he still with ut.

Speaking of Rhymes . . . . 0

Jim Jones writes of hearing one in an article at the Idaho State Journal. Here’s a couplet:

There seems to be a recurring American theme of deposing villainous dictators and bringing Pax Americana to their beleaguered countries. Recent instances that come to mind are Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump’s Venezuelan venture might be better characterized as Pox Americano.
