Dramatizing
THE PRESIDENT, if nothing else, has a flair for the theatrical. A comprehensive federal legislative package is needed to address police brutality of the anti-black kind, and to provide strict, sensible, uniform guidelines for the police profession nationally. Instead, the orange tinted show horse signed an executive order boldly asserting that chocking people is rude, and that what we the American really want is law and order, whether we know it or not. the operative word is "order". What, exactly, is order? A peaceful protest, the exercise of first amendment rights, or the disrupting of said protest with tear gas to disperse the crowd and clear the way for a presidential photo op, bible in hand, the book held upside down? Ever the junior high drama major, Trump heads for Tulsa for yet more mere theater, another MAGA mob gangster rally of the sort he began staging ten minutes after his poorly attended inauguration. Nineteen thousand angry, howling anthem standing pro fascist sycophants, protesting the protesters, gleefully letting Trump, law and order, and fuhrer-style patriotism express their cleverly concealed racism and lawd their love of the good lord. The organizing committee, MAVA (Make America Viral Again), by requiring that all attendees sign a disclaimer promising not to blame the president in the event they go viral, seems inconsistent with Trump's tendency to take credit for everything. Their stated intention of making loud noises and going viral will achieve greater success if they do not wear masks, which, you can bet Trump's bankrupt casino and other businesses, they won't.
