Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news

The sad fact is people die of gun violence EVERY DAY in America. It feels like they are using the two National Guards' deaths for political reasons.
Their deaths are getting more attention than most school shootings this year.
The worst part is that this won't lead to change.

Yeah.
31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Step 1: Israel supports groups that steal aid trucks.
Step 2: Then it blames Hamas for the stealing.
Step 3: It blocks aid, saying Hamas attacks the convoys.
Step 4: People starving while Israel says it is Hamas’ fault.

If Trump and the Republicans invade Venezuela, it means America has invaded Venezuela. How did we feel about those Germans that didn’t want Hitler to invade Poland? Remember them? No— as the world saw it, it was Germany that invaded Poland, and it will be America that invades Venezuela.
