Sorry Mr. Murrow!

Edward R. Murrow on McCarthy: 

We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason.

Yes we will, and yes we are - so full of fear that a we have put an incompetent, dishonest, immature, mentally ill sociopath man-child in the White House. Actually, "we" didn't do it. Trumpers did it with the help of rabid Bernie Sanders fans.

At best, the right-wing agenda is going to dismantle parts of our democracy that have taken decades and even centuries to achieve. All under the guise of being things that will create more jobs. Ummm, just look at history and see how that approach does NOT work. The only thing that putting more money into the hands of the uber-wealthy ever does is make the wealthy wealthier. It doesn't trickle down, people. It never has. It never will.

At worst, Trump and along with his sidekicks Bannon-Himmler and Miller-Goebbels are in the midst of creating a dictatorship based on their white supremacist views, likely in collusion with Russia, and the right wingers who currently control the House and Senate are so intent on pushing through their "feed the rich" agenda that they are ignoring the warning signs.

I wonder how many years it will take to undo the damage that this is doing to our country.

I would love to see things like this happen more often. I went through this change several years ago, thank God. I am far from perfect, but I am now usually able to stop myself when I start jumping to conclusions about people that I do not know. 

Try it yourself!

Don't Be A Sucker!

Are You Being A Sucker?

Step back. Watch this 1940's movie from the US War Dept and then think. Think about how it correlates to what is happening today.

Our dads and granddads fought and DIED in WWII to stop this shit. This is exactly why I have been posting so many "wake up" stories. It is exactly why I have been brutally honest with some people about their support for the forces that are trying to drive our country apart by employing the same practices that are seen in this film.

History is quite possibly repeating itself, people. Watch this old film and think about it. Then open your eyes and WAKE UP!

Swedengate: Trump Mind Games

Trump Says, 'Look What's Happening In Sweden.'

 Sweden Asks, 'Wait, What?'

This is what Trump and his insiders all do - they throw what they KNOW is bullshit like this Sweden thing out there on purpose as fodder for Trump's followers, knowing that even if they retract it later on, it will have already become fact in the alt-right world.

Trumpers, can you NOT SEE this game that they play with your minds? Lie after lie after lie - open your eyes! It is the same shit that the Nazis did. Read your history books! 

NOTHING happened in Sweden. "The most recent terrorist attack in Sweden, according to The Associated Press, happened in 2010, when an Iraqi-born Swede carried out a suicide bombing, injuring two people and killing only himself."

Several media outlets discussed Trump's faux pas about Sweden. The above video is a conglomerate of the different media reports.

On a lighter note, people in the know say that this group of terrorist thugs was plying their wares in Sweden on Friday ...

Guns for Nut Cases

House Votes To Overturn Obama Rule Restricting Gun Sales To The Severely Mentally Ill

NPR:

Republicans argued it infringed upon Second Amendment rights by denying due process. About 75,000 people found mentally incapable of managing their finances would have been affected.

(Read the Full Article)

Well isn't that smart - ban refugees who have been thoroughly vetted and pose little threat (that is backed up by facts) and keep guns in the hands of the nut-cases who are the main perpetrators of the terroristic mass-shootings that have happened in the last several years (also backed up by facts).

1 + 1 does not equal 3, folks. Do the math and open your eyes. This measure would not take your guns unless you are mentally ill. Do you really want guns in the hands of mentally ill people? Seriously - do you want unstable, unpredictable people who have been diagnosed as mentally ill to have guns? I'm not saying they are bad people, they just are not always in control of their own coping skills and other faculties.

Litmus test - would you want such a person to live next door to you if they owned guns? Would you want them to live anywhere near your children's schools or the place you work if they had guns? Would you want to work where they work if they were gun-owners? I seriously doubt that you would.

WAKE UP Trumpers!
