We have to remember that the
Liar in Chief is lying to...
everybody.
Retribution... is HIS promise.
We shouldn't be tempted act the same way!

“The people at the top — the Elon Musks, the Rupert Murdochs, and the Donald Trumps of the world — they work so hard to keep us angry and divided because our unity is a threat to their power.”

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

(When it comes to crimes against humanity -- Israel is right to say:
"Never again!" to genocide; but
they should apply that standard to
ALL practices of genocide.)

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

(The coincidences continue to plle up. Rep. Dan Goldman scolded Stephen Miller for doxing and threatening judges for "shielding terrorists." Herr Reichsminister Miller called Rep. Goldman: "warped.")

Everyone has to wake up and realize that when a fascist hammer is allowed to hammer anything, EVERYTHING looks like a nail. There will never be an end to the purge of "undesirables." It's just a convenient excuse to target everyone the people in power hate.
