When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced to five years in prison for an illegal scheme to finance his 2007 campaign with funds from Libya.

Meanwhile, Trump illegally took $7.8 million from foreign governments in his first term and openly solicited Russian help for his 2016 campaign.

So predictable that several HBCUs are on lockdown because they have received direct threats, and Hampton has canceled classes altogether. Black people are always a scapegoat and a target for white anger.

Kushner is the snake in the grass

1. Jared Kushner is taking TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS annually from Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern governments

Year to date under Donald Trump: a loss of 78,000 manufacturing job! That was what he ran on.

If we survive this fascist treason, we’re going to need serious Nuremberg-like trials. No half-assed Merrick Garland shit. Prominent people need to be clapped in irons.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.
