Trump, Seizing the Capitol

THIS WHOLE BUSINESS of Trump putting the Washington D.C. police force under his direct control and calling out the National Guard is merely the latest episode in his cementing his fascst regime incrementally, and putting up yet another distraction to keep us from thinking about the Epstein files. Two birds with one stone, so to speak, all carefully thought out and orchestrated by Trump himself. Alarmingly, each new power grab and distraction is more extreme,dangerous, and harmful than the previous,andyou being to wonder, my God,what will he do next? Bear in mind that Trump has the power to start a nuclear war, for example. The nation's capitol is safer, with lower crime rates than in decades. Will Hegseth have the army marching up and down teh Main Streets of America? Trump has already hinted at his power to so order. One wonders what MAGA thinks about this. Those liberty loving, small government Republicans, so gung ho about individual liberty and constitutional rights. How would they have reacted if Obama or Clinton or Biden had done this? That is a fair, relevant, question and a revealing answer. See the hypocrisy? Ivankatrump testified in Congress, under oath, that two weeks before the 2020 election, her father told her: "No matter what happens in this election, we'll just say that we won. Eff it". And the rest, they say, is history. Now, let's get something straight. On the night Biden defeated Trump, before the votes had even been counted, Trump claimed victory, and claimed that the election was being stolen from him. Tens of millions of people heard him say this, and every single person who heard Trump's big election lie knew immediately that it was a lie. Immediately. Everybody. At that precise moment, everybody had a decision, a choice to make. Whether to embrace the lie, or to call it a lie. There would be no time wasted on thinking about it and deciding. And once the choice was made, there was to be no changing it later. The choice was immediate, and everybody made it. Our moral character is formed and revealed by the choices we make. The same people who made the wrong choice supported Trump's coup and insurrection, predictably. They support it to this day. And now teh best guess is that they will probably fully support Trump's take over of the nation's capitol, primarily because it was Trump who ordered it, instigated it. That's the way a cult works. Would they support national martial law if Trump ordered it? Trump says that he wants to end homelessness in Washington D.C.. The fly in the ointment is that he wants to end it not by providing homes to the homeless, or "unhoused" as we say today, but rather, by rounding up all of the homeless people, burning the cardboard boxes they sleep in, and then totally clean up and wipe away homeless communites in he district, and send the unhoused to places like alligator Alcatraz and Spwday Slammer, with many more such facilities on the way, destined to be built under Trump. Its charming and rather cute, the way homeless people often form little communities, miniature cardboard cities, like stray cats snuggling in winter. You acn alost see teh MAGA right wing religious fanatics cheering our American fuhher gleefully on, as his army of destruction and purification moves inexorably on, from American city to city, purging our cities and our souls of compassion, in the name of God, country, and Christ.
