Someone says, “There’s a squirrel!” You look, and the accomplice picks your pocket.
Trump and his enablers are dismantling the government. DOJ; the murderer of Eric Garner and the ending of the Michael Cohen campaign finance cases and many others. Department of Agriculture is firing its scientists if they won’t move from DC to Kansas City now. Department of the Interior will fire its scientists if they don’t move from DC to Grand Junction, Colorado. EPA is permitting pesticides that kill essential pollinators, as well as gutting clean air and clean water regs. Education. Housing. We’re relying on the general officers in the Pentagon to keep us out of war. Trump is dismantling NATO and our other international alliances while he cozies up to dictators. There is no end to the destruction of our government. All this is critically important.
Trump’s racism has been well documented for years. Refusal to rent to people of color. The Central Park Five. Obama’s birth certificate. The Muslim ban. The intentional humanitarian disaster at the southern border. Now the “Squad” ordered to return to where they came from.
Why is Trump going to racist war against the four Congressmembers? (A) It’s his nature. (B) He has nothing else to offer to his shrinking base of supporters. He has failed to deliver on every other of his promises. (C) He needs to distract us from this week’s legal revelations about Epstein and Cohen. Trump may be crazy, but he isn’t stupid. He’s crafty.
Trump’s attack on the four Congressmembers is horrible. Vile. Whatever awful thing you call it, I agree. I worry about their safety, especially Congressmember Omar.
Don’t take your eye off the big picture. Trump’s actions against The Squad is atrocious, but don’t ignore the rest of his atrocities. Denounce Trump’s racists attacks AND fight to keep our government working for US.
Get out the vote! Work for every Democratic candidate, local, state, & federal, even if they’re not your favorite. Learn your state’s voter registration system, help people register, educate them, help them get to the polls.
