Unfortunately as horrible as it is, this is not an anomaly it is the normal.

His actions are an affront to justice. His being is an affront to humanity.

Yes PonyBoy, but Trump is not scary to me it is his followers of over 70 million ditto heads, ( including many of my relatives, who still believe the election was stolen from Trump) that is what is terrifying!

Watching the 2017 Mark Felt (aka Deep Throat) movie yesterday that detailed the Nixon regimeâs reaction to the FBI investigating the Watergate break-in reconfirmed that the organized crime syndicate disguised as the GOP has been âan affront to justiceâ for at least the past half century.
Unless Bidenâs highest priority is for his DOJ to start prosecuting Trump, his appointees, and other enablers on January 21 there soon wonât be any justice to âaffrontââŚperiod.

Here is a little insight what are âsoldiersâ did in Bushâs war in Iraq. I am not sure if this guy Bales was ever pardoned. Americans NEVER are aware of the brutal facts because the media whitewashes our penchant for sadistic havoc. War is the ultimate crime in which the real victims are civilians.

In fact, if not in name, Biden is a member in very good standing of the GOP. Thatâs his definition of bipartisan: he belongs to one party and wears the other partyâs T shirts. Bidenâs goals and priorities are those of the GOP. They always have been.
Remember that Obama claimed to be a Progressive and selected Biden as running mate to balance the ticket by attracting conservative Democrats. Biden will always defer to GOP concerns; he will always ignore progressive ones.

I have watched the first forty five minutes of âMark Feltâ.
Looks like I will have to rent the movie to see the rest.
So far I like it, but I wonder, where was the FBI when JFK was taken out ?

Itâs damn near impossible to fix a racist. I have known quite a few in my years. Only time has any effect. Their end of time, that is. Itâs unfortunate many raise children that prolong our hateful, racist heritage.
It doesnât have to be that way, but hate breeds hate.

They were busy covering for the grassy knoll guys and planning RFKâs murder. Seriously though, J Edgar Hoover hated the Kennedys, so Iâm sure there were high-fives all around when JFK was assassinated.
BTW, here is a link to a tv series about Hoover and the Kennedys. Havenât watched it yet, but plan to:

Iâve got John Brennanâs âUndauntedâ to read, and I will now order Mark Feltâs book.
Somehow we will piece together what happened.
Lyndon Johnson was no fan of JFK or Bobby either.
And I have yet to hear a single word from the Pentagon muckie-mucks on either of the brothers.
In his autobiography, Colin Powel did say that even as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he was scared of the intelligence community, referring to them as âthe spooksâ.

All Americans who invade and murder under the guise of âpromoting democracyâ are guilty of war crimes.

Very true! I think Gandhi may have said it best in the analogy that only the heat of love can melt the ice of hate.
