PLAYING DEFENSE ON “DEFENSE”

Independent Sanders is one of the few members of the Democratic caucus willing to hit the nail on the head about our grotesquely inflated military budget:

He tweets: “Our military budget is larger than the next 12 nations combined. We do not need to spend more. We need to take care of our people.”

Trump, of course is a walking, talking exercise in double think, kvelling about the miracle of our weaponry while claiming that Obama degraded that very same arsenal.

TRUMP’S WINNING FORMULA

Keep dropping bigger and bigger bombs at random, to win bipartisan oolitical and “mainstream” media compliance,  and civilian lives be damned!

As StandIndivisible tweets: “He’s trying to bomb his way out of . We’ll be lucky if he even knows what country he bombed.”

The man is completely immoral, and so are those who would enable him.

Read Tierney Sweed at Talking Points Memo and weep that this thug is our President.

REIFICATION

How can an article in The New York Times today possibly refer to Trump’s “drain-the-swamp instincts,” as if such chimerical attribute actually exists?

LOCKSTEP “MAINSTREAM” PRINT MEDIA

Not only is there almost no arts coverage, but there are serried ranks of me-too editorial boards who cheered on Trump’s change-the-subject–FAST pivot on Syria with its disastrous, utterly duplicitous and rash bombing bachannal.

Adam Johnson at FAIR tots up the stats and you won’t believe how homogeneous was the editorial response.

IVANKA’S ELUSIVE HEART

Where was her heart when our bombing strikes killed 1,000 Syrian civilians in March?

Where was her heart when Daddy went on his mad tirades demonizing Syrian refugees?

Where was her heart when our strikes last week killed Syrian children?

Where was her heart as Trump schemed to destroy Medicaid?

Where is her heart now as Trump plans to kill Social Security?

GORSUCH JOINS HIS COMRADES

The completely illegitimate new Injustice joins an extreme right-wing, democracy-wrecking Supreme Court majority bought and paid for by the Kochs and the Mercers.

Our Supreme Court is at this point fatally compromised.
