Massive peaceful protest demonstrations have toppled undemocratic regimes around the world, no matter how entrenched they were.

The Republican regime has been attempting to set up a dictatorship. They have silenced dissenting voices in their party, and now they're trying to shut up everyone else.

Did you hear what Republicans in Congress said over the weekend?

They said, "WE HATE THE TRUTH."

They did it by spouting lies about the protest demonstrations planned for this coming Saturday, October 18th, the NO KINGS rallies throughout the nation.

They fear losing elections. With good reason.

On another topic, do you know that water companies are being paid for supplying fresh water to the public, not only in South America, where there have been scandals connected with that for years, but also in England? Last night, I saw protests about outrageous rate increases in some areas there.

As I suggested, you're more believable if you give that insult some context.

But I can't put words in your mouth. You know why you're saying that. I'm just saying that it's difficult to understand, much less to agree with you.

The people behind Trump are the billionaires and corrupt millionaires; the political operatives who want to be paid mountainous salaries (and bonuses) by the Treasury, for advancing their own interests; the white collar criminals; and the masked, violent thugs who tried to destroy democracy before.

There is no hate like today's Republican hate, and there are no lies like today's Republican lies.

We all know who has been leading the hate campaigns, and who has been requiring Republicans to lie, and that's Psychopath Trump, who squeaked into office but thinks he was given dictatorial powers.

I avoid simplistic, bumper strip statements like that, because during my life I have met all kinds of folks in law enforcement.

I mostly represented small local governments, like cities, but I also worked with other levels of government.

It is important to screen prospective officers.

I thought of a way to demonstrate how delusional Trump is, how lost in the fantasyland his psychopathic mind is creating:

Take a transcript of some recent unhinged comment of his, like the words he just uttered about Portland, and substitute the name of another city, instead.

An example attached:

Or Laramie, Wyoming.

Or Grand Rapids, Michigan.

You don't even need to use the names of American cities. Use the names of cities on othre continents.

It doesn't matter, because, like Portland, Oregon, Trump hasn't been there. He has not seen anything. But what has the demented man been told?

About Portland, Maine, for example:

“Every time I look at that place, the place is burning down. There’s fires all over the place,” Trump said. “And then I hear how wonderful it is. It’s not wonderful. It’s a disaster. That’s almost an insurrection, that place.”

Or about the Villages, in Florida.

Well, I have been told that there is a lot of pussy here.

Although, for some reason, I also have been told that a lot of it is "uncooperative" pussy, whatever that means..

Portland actually got what the first Trump regime planned for Seattle. The Border Patrol and other federal thugs were going to be dispatched to Seattle, but the CHOP blocks protest was ended by Seattle police, so they were re-routed to Portland.
