The Big Lie

The Big Lie Behind the Rise of Donald Trump

In the following video, Bill Moyers, Chris Lebron (Political Philosopher at Yale University), Nell Painter (Historian, Princeton University, Emeritus), Khalil Gibran Muhammad (Historian, Harvard Kennedy School), and Philip Klinkner (Political Scientist, Hamilton College) discuss the big lie that Donald Trump rode to power on.

I quite honestly find it bone-chilling. The reason why I find it bone-chilling is because people I know are right there in the thick of it. So many are people I have worked with, played with, people I grew up with, went to Sunday School with, my neighbors, my friends... They are buying into this big lie, and in fact they are willing to ignore facts in order to cling to it. 


White supremacism and the utter ignorance and blindness that goes along with it is alive and well in the good old U. S. of A. What can we do about it?

The Unthinkable

SAD!!

I've been checking out the new reports about all of the communications between Trump's campaign aides and Russia. It has made me think about our country's stance regarding Russia and the USSR through most of my lifetime. Putting it into that context sure gives it a different feel.

POTUS campaign insiders in cahoots with Russia; wow, whoa, holy shit, WTF? My die-hard Republican dad, for one, is turning in his grave. There are lots of graves being churned up tonight. Think about our past leaders - Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford and even Tricky Dick Nixon. Oh, and not to forget the epitome of conservative adoration, Ronald Reagan.

What sort of unrest are the souls of these men going through as these latest treasonous acts are coming to light?

Yeah, I know - maybe Nixon shouldn't be included in this sentiment. He had his own WTF's to wriggle out of. Cahoots with Russia is what this post is about, though, and they are all rolling in their graves about that, Nixon included. The Soviet Union was the enemy - period, end of discussion. The better part of what these men did during their presidencies were things having to do with protecting us from Russia and the Soviets. 

The Russian connection is the equivalent of blasphemy. And I believe that Trump is entangled with this tangle-fuck all the way up to his orange wig.
