Our constitutional rights and freedoms are being gutted by an authoritarian police state that ruthlessly oppresses all who disagree with it. Our democracy is being sacrificed on an altar of greed and corruption, by plutocrats seeking absolute power.

But of course. If there's nothing in it for Trump personally, he couldn't care less about it.

Be prepared for Trump to completely lose interest in any international conflicts after he doesn't get a Nobel Peace Prize at the end of the week.

The Oregon GOP just got caught using fake protest photos to make Portland look like it’s on fire. Their post about Trump sending National Guard troops featured stock and foreign images, not Oregon, not even America.

Manufactured chaos, wrapped in a lie to rile their base.

FACT: No president can claim absolute (plenary) power without facing legislative and judicial checks. At least, no president until now. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

A large roadside billboard displays a bold message in black capital letters reading “FUCK ICE,” with smaller text below stating “THIS COMMUNITY FIGHTS BACK.” The sign stands on a tall metal structure near an industrial area with power lines, a yellow trailer, and warehouses in the background.

The only things transparent about Donald Trump are his crippling narcissism, his callous greed and his endless thirst for money, fame, adoration and power.

Think of all the amazing things that could happen if, instead of bickering with Democrats and fighting endless culture wars, Republicans actually performed the job they were elected to do-- ensuring that their constituents are safe, secure, prosperous, happy and healthy. What a world it would be.

Trump has been promising that "a lot of good things will happen" (the usual stated time frame is "two weeks") for almost TEN YEARS now. NOTHING GOOD has happened under his leadership, only worsening bad. How much longer should we believe a malignant sociopath who lies more easily than he breathes?

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 1d

President Trump shares a message to Americans who might be encountering pain and despair amid the government shutdown: "Hang in there, because I think a lot of good things are going to happen."

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

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Trump and his ICE thugs will do anything that we let them do, even assaulting local law enforcement. Every twisted Trump edict is nothing less than a challenge of our resolve to save our democracy from plummeting into a dark abyss of authoritarian chaos.

When future historians determine the persons most directly responsible for the fall of a quarter-millennium of American democracy, the name "John Roberts" will be up there in lights. Or maybe it will be on fire, it's hard to tell.

Peaceful #protest in #Portland:
“I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong,” says Laurie Eckman, 84, of Portland after federal agents charged her and her 84-year-old husband, knocking them to the ground.

America's 250th anniversary is shaping up to be a celebration style over substance, of rampant human and civil rights abuses, of atrocities carried out by an authoritarian police state that values billionaires, oligarchs and corporations far above the rest of us. The Founders would be mortified.
