And every time President Murder gets an idea in his tiny cabbage brain, he thinks that he's God Almighty since he's president, and all he has to do is say it for it to happen. With the exception of his statement that corona would be gone by Memorial Day, he can't make this happen, and he may be unaware that there has to be a paper trail. Crap, even Nixon got caught by his paper trail.
Every day, this fuckwit shows that he is so incapable of running a lemonade stand, let alone a country. I hope he keeps up the madness until November so we ALL remember what he's about.
Not that he's likely to change in the next five months. Damn, all we need is 10% of last times non-voters and uncommitted voters to change the outcome! Much harder is that we also need to oust the senators who are ALSO fuckwits. It can't, and won't, be easy - but we have to try.

I made a typo that might've been confusing. I meant that there was this argument that Sleepy Joe (Biden) wants to turn the U.S. into a communist state. Socialism, which the U.S. does have a fair amount of (schools, highways, libraries, police and fire departments... you know civilization basically) being equated with communism. The irony is that the one most in bed with former enemy communists, including people who were banned from entering the U.S. and were supposed to still be, is Trumpo.
Let's hope the U.S. hits a necessary bottom and comes back in a way that does not require four more years of damage and erosion. :^(

I get that Rebecca. It is true that there is indeed irony in the fact that a
President who is clearly heading down a fascist path is indeed aligned
to various communist leaders.
& yes, I’ve said before, America isn’t socialist, until it is (the things you
cite but also it’s response to the crash of 2008 being prime examples)

The communist regimes we've had have tended to be of the oppressive variety, which is one of the similarities with Facism, though they are idealistically at the opposite end of the spectrum from each other. The glorious leader who cannot be wrong. The threat of prison for those that might oppose his word. Threats to constrain free speech. Communism or facism, take your pick.

Yep, agree 100% Peter.
While the ideologies may be @ opposite ends, the net result is pretty
much the same.

Only saw the George Floyd footage for the first time last night. Unbelievable. I fully understand the rioting this has caused.
Must be so scary to be a bystander, filming it and pleading for the cop to get off his neck. Knowing that if you tried to intervene yourself, you'd likely get shot.
Then again, I suppose it depends what colour you are as to how the cops would react.

A CNN crew was arrested in Minneapolis... but the fired cops who murdered George Floyd remain free. Unbelievable
In less than four years our country is on fire, 100k are dead from a pandemic and a criminal POTUS is stoking the flames of racism -threatening to use the military to kill Americans. Trump uses tougher language threatening American lives than he has used in his “war” against COVID19.

Trump uses tougher language threatening American lives than he ever has any TRUE threat to the United States period.
I cannot believe I have managed to hate him more this very second than I did yesterday. There may be no limit to it.

Actually, I hate his supporters MORE than Trump himself. They enable him. (I really don't like using the word "hate" BTW... maybe the better word is "disgusted" or "disappointed".)
Sadly, his comments might be getting more attention than the REAL issue.

Hate works damn fine for me.
It’s raw, festering and seething.
