THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR ENDLESS WARS

By and large the “mainstream” “news” media refuses to give us that, but Ryan Cooper nevertheless wrote recently in The Week:

“The United States is now engaged in its longest period of continuous warfare in its history. With some minor exceptions, this fighting has been a strategic disaster from start to finish.”

Have you noticed the shlocky swishes and flourishes employed by Trump, Bannon, Price, Mulvaney?

Price who became close advisors. They would counsel her about gestures, movement, and critique her overall diva presentation.

EXPULSION

The White House is now a cesspool, informing DACA residents to prepare for deportation, thus giving the lie to Trump’s  ersatz punt to Congress.

Trump’s incompetence and his bizarre, marginal group of fringe fanatics has served to endorse a virtual junta, positioning the generals as the one block of sanity and competence.

The generals are along for the ride and are key to establishing a military dictatorship in this country.

Nazis and Bolsheviks are in the driver’s seat.
