It’s such a good thing that we didn’t have this wave of former Trump underlings coming out and saying he is a fascist who is unfit for the presidency at any point in the last four years when it would have been possible to do anything about it
"He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."
As Election Nears, Kelly Warns Trump Would Rule Like a Dictator
John Kelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that Donald Trump met the definition of a fascist.

A soldier, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, was murdered at Ford Hood. Trump had the family to the White House, and offered to cover the costs of the funeral.
When he got the bill, he refused to pay:
“It doesn’t cost $60,000 to bury a fucking Mexican!”

A Catholic Tribune headline asks, “How many ‘sex change’ mutilation surgeries occurred on Wisconsin kids?”

Another: “Haitian illegal aliens in America: What are Harris supporters saying?”

The church says it never sent the paper. We found who did:
Who’s Mailing the Catholic Tribune? It’s Not the Church, It’s Partisan Media.
ProPublica has traced these mass-mailed newspapers to a “pink slime” network known for misinformation and its financial ties to right-wing super PACs and billionaires.

The good people at the Haitian Times planned a community meeting in Springfield tomorrow. Now it has been cancelled and moved online because of ongoing threats. Despicable.
