Today is a great holiday in France celebrating the storming of the Bastille, viewed as the starting point of the French Revolution. There are reports that Donald Trump, after seeing the celebration parade in France two years ago decided he had to have a bigger and better parade in America.
The irony — to which he and the GOP are oblivious — is that Bastille Day celebrates the overthrow of a government with a notorious prison. Here we are, with our own even more horrific prisons, with more on the way.
Atrios nails it:
SATURDAY, JULY 13, 2019
We are operating concentration camps and treating humans (including children) who aren't even accused of any crimes (not that this would make it OK but I am not naive about our current prisons) in conditions which would cause a dog kennel to be shut down and the House leadership is currently mad at people who are pointing out that the Dems gave Trump $4 billion to open more concentration camps without any conditions.
Vote them all out.
