I use to believe that the saddest day in America occurred when SCOTUS chose the president of the USA instead of we the people. But since Trump, I now am convinced that the most troublesome day we Americans have ever experienced is now, when our lying president and his lying press secretary are trying to convince us that The Press is the enemy of the people. If these mendacious cretins are to continue their voracious assault on our Democracy and its first amendment…
{{ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, OR OF THE PRESS; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.}}
…in order to help bring it down, then We-The-People will be no more. We will thus become the new slave class, working only to make the Oligarchy (with Trump at the top just like Putin-in Russia) wealthier and more powerful. I know it seems impossible and improbable but time IS running out, it is a big gamble where the winner (Trump and all the rest of the World’s strongmen) takes all and the losers are left to lick their boots. thinkingblue
The oligarchy in this country, whose greed is insatiable, is destroying Lincoln's vision of America, is destroying our vision of America, and is moving us in a direction of the few, by the few, for the few.
