The only thing Trump delivered to his followers so far:
Putin must must be laughing his ass off. They were showing Malaria's nudie pix on state TV almost nightly to mock her diseased lardbucket of a husband, so I'm sure they're taking this just as seriously.

I'm worried that with the timing of this event, if the Texas National Guard is still here, might be the excuse that Trump is looking for to impose martial law. We have the absolute right to protest, but don't take the bait.

Randomly saving a thought about the near future of media:
I'm also expecting a total media collapse at the hands of their corporate masters who would rather pay a tribute to the king than bury him in the filth that is his life story.

Every concession granted to the Trump regime by corporate media, law firms, universities, elected officials and individuals should be considered a tacit endorsement of pedophilia and human trafficking.

A year ago, the rest of the world saw this at the Republican convention and hoped it would never become a reality for America.
We're all at fault for letting this happen.
We are about to finance illegal arrests, violence and internment camps at the expense of the poor, sick and elderly.

I'm disgusted with normalizing Trump's newest concentration camp name as "Alligator Alcatraz." This makes it sound like some whimsical attraction at Disney or something.
This is a PRISON CAMP on American soil. Human beings will be held there against their will and OUR money is paying for it.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.
Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

I'm beginning to think that the rest of the world defines Americans as people whose only consistency is falling for the flaming bag of shit trick over and over again.

This is from a Twilight Zone episode on fascism. Rod Serling had fought in the Second World War. He had seen how fascism had almost conquered Europe. He wanted Americans to be aware. Shutting down independent voices in media is surely one of the most prominent signs of fascism. Worth Watching.
